The matter was referred to the muncipal clerk for his report on the method fol- lowed by the provincial govern- ment in arriving at the distribu- tio» of motor licenses and pari mutuel profits. H. J. Southam, vice-principal of the Hollyburn School and Mr. AIitchell of the High School staff spent part of their Easter holi- days in Everett inspecting the pioneer Junior High Schools of that city. Messrs. Southam and i4Iitchell will unquestionably ac- quire much professional inform- ation regarding these education- al institutions that will be of value to EVest Vancouver, as it will be necessary before long to have a Junior High School here. Large congregations were present at all the Easter ser- vices held in the United Church last week-end. A reception ser- vice divas held in the morning, when 18 were admitted to the fellowship of the church. At the close of the service the sacra- ment of the Lord's Supper was observed, when the largest num- ber in the history of the congre- gation took part. Inspiring mu- sic was rendered by the choir both morning and evening, and altogether it was a great time in the experience of a great many. "CRUCIFIXION" GIVEN BY / ST.

Skelton, choirmaster of St. John's Church. North Vancou- ver, the St. Stephen's Church choir, with the assistance of some North Vancouver singers, gave a very fine rendering of Stai»er's "Crucifixion" at the evening service on Good Friday. The soloists were Major A. M. Lester, J. H. Smith and H. G. Mason. The chorus, "Crucify," was particularly &veil sung, as divas also the quartette, "God So Loved the )Vorld," in which Mrs. AV. L. Berry, ilIrs. J. H. Smith, Major A. M. Lester and J. H. Smith took part. The attack and release of the choir in the various numbers was well mark- ed, and the rendition through- out divas characterized by a sad- ness in keeping with the great- est tragedy of the ages. This eKect was considerably height- ened by the fine playing of the orchestra under the leadership of AIrs. Knight Hodge. BREAD and CAKES Delivered right to your door, or from OUR Store.

A Special Invitation is Given to the Young People B. C. EI.ECTRIC CELEBRATE THIRTY-FIRST BIRTHDAY (Continuel from Page 1) lumbia, Mr. Horne-Payne re- turned to London and succeeded in securing fresh capital. The assets and properties of the Con- solidated Railway and Light Company were taken over and a new company organized to be known as the British Columbia Electric Railway Company. The transfer from the receiver to the new company took place on April 15, 1897. In those days the system of the B.C. Electric was small in- deed, when contrasted with its resources today. The street car system of 1897 was comprised of the Fairview belt line, single track on Main street, tracks on Hastings street, part of Cordova street, and another to Stanley P~Park. The Davie street line was not laid until 1900, and the Rob- son line was a single track until the same year. The interurban system was a line through the bush which is now GrandvieN to Cedar Cottage, into New westminster by Sixth street. The whole of the company's rolling stock in Vancouver and Victoria consisted of forty cars, mostly single track vehicles which bobbed up and down with the variation of the track. In 1897 there were few residents in North Vancouver, and the B. C. Electric had not extended its system of the North Shore. The first street car in North Vancou- ver ran with due ceremony on Labor Day 1906. The interurban system of the B. C. Electric was responsible to a large degree for the building up of the 12 miles of road lying between Vancouv.r and the Royal City. The original New westminster line carries an ever increasing number of passengers each day of its week, the steady average being 10,000 people daily. The Lulu Island line was leased from the Canadian Pa- cific Railway some years later, and then the interurban service was extended to serve the Fraser Valley the last spike being driv- en by the late Sir Richard Nc- Bride on October 3, 1910. The last addition to the mainland in- terurban system was the Burn- aby Lake line. But the growth of the com- pany has not bo.en confined to the realms of transportation, for in common ii'ith the develop- ment of electric power through- out the universe, the demands for electricity in British Colum- bia increased. The 2,000 horse- power resources of Vancouver and Victoria combined in 1897 have today grown to 202,000 horse-power, and will soon be 215,000 h.p. with the addition of Alouette. A further construc- tion scheme is in progress at Bridge River, and this scheme is estimated to be capable of meeting the growing require- ments of the lower mainland for a century. In 1897 there was 40 miles of electric railway track under con- trol of the company. Today there is 350 miles of tracks, and this is further augmented by 192 miles of motor bus and mo- tor truck system, making 542 miles of transportation.
