001C9533 8 COUNCII.S ALTER I I ANS OF I'ROI'OSED HOSI'ITAL Fire Brigade to Meet Monday As the North Vancouver City and District cou»cils have only $ 1G0,000 available for the con- struction of the neiv sixty-bed hospital to be erected here short- ly, and the six contractors sub- mitting tenders at special meet- ings of the tivo councils held iii the North Vancouver City Hall on Monday evening, quoted bids ranging from $213,000 to $ 190,- 570, the councils will likely have to consider the amending of the hospital plans so that the cost of the building will come within the amount available. If the plans are altered, it is likely a complete new set of tend- ers will be called for, in which case the construction of the hos- pital ivill be unavoidably delay- ed for a few weeks, but as the majority of contractors handing in bids Monday evening stated they would complete the build- ing in six months, it is still pos- sible that the hospital will be ready for occupancy by Decem- ber. The hospital will be located on the block bounded by Thirteenth and Fourteenth Streets and St. Georges and St. Andrews aven- ues, North Vancouver. The EVest Vn»couver fiie bri- gade is holdi»g a meetiiig on Monday»ight at 7.45 in the fer- ry office. All members are re- quested to make a point of being prese»t. Baseball IVest Van. Draws ivith Elks. Last Monday the weather was too ivet for the game scheduled at Mahon Park, and the only game played by )Vest Van. this week divas against the Elks at Ambleside Park last night. The locals, after traili»g behi»d for the first G innings staged a bat- ting rally to make the score 4 all at the end of the 7th, when the game was called on account of darkness. Harry Ransome, the»ew pitcher signed by EVest Van., showed himself a cool, level- headed ball player. He pitched a splendid game with the excep- tion of one inning, when he hit 2 of the batters a»d walked an- other, filling the bases. This started the Elks on a little wave of enthusiasm which netted them 3 runs in that inning. The West Van. team, however, were on their toes throughout the whole game and gave the fans many thrills. Ransome, by the way, looks like a good hitter, and came through last night's game ~vith a good batting average. Parkyn, always well liked by the fans, played one of the best games we have yet seen him in, hitting the ball right square on the nose every time at bat. Man- ley Romans again demonstrated his value to the team by hitting at the crucial moment and driv- ing in 2 runs. Romans is playing an exceptionally good game at first base. Tonight West Vancouver play Squamish at Mahon Park, and next Thursday they will continue the argument with the same team on their home grounds at Ambleside Park.

Word had been received by the in- spector of an electric light system that an overhead wire had fallen in the crowded street. The inspector betook himself to the spot. When he arrived he found a crowd of people handling the wire in a most careless manner. Luckily, no accidents had occurred. Going up to the nearest man he ad- monished him severely. "You took a grave risk," said the inspector. "You had no right to touch that wire. Do you know you might have been killed outright by the shock?" "Oh, said the man, "I was mighty careful, sir; I felt it carefully before I took hold of it!" ~ ~ R1GH~ HE,RE gjpNUGA& ~ 0~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ INSTANT pick-up ...
