Dear Sir: I believe you have noticed the great increase of ve- hicle traffic on Marine Drive since the summer season has be- gun and this increase will con- tinue to be a hundred per cent. greater when the westerly por- tion is paved and widened from West Bay to Horseshoe Bay. At the present time there are about ninety per cent. of the IVest Van residents travelling on the east- erly portion from Capilano river to West Bay and many motor- ists as well as our bus drivers will agree with me that they are encountering danger of an auto accident daily, owing to the number of strange motorists who are not aware of the nar- rowness of the road, and if it wasn't for the good caution of IVest Van. motorists who are fully aware of the conditions of the road there would be a num- ber of accidents on account of our visitors, speed maniacs, and sometimes under the influence of liquor, hogging the fifteen foot pavement. The widening of the easterly part of Marine Drive, two feet on each side, with cheap method of crushed rock tied with asph- alt is a small item and an abso- lute necessity to the safety of our motorists and to the protec- tion of road edges which they are breaking badly in most plac- es. I hope our council will give this matter their serious consid- eration and if the Marine Drive By-Law is elastic enough, which I have no doubt it is, the council may save a sufficient amount for this ivork from the $180,000 which is going to be spent on the westerly portion.

AVest Van. took the lead in the first inning scoring 5 runs. This was shortlived, the Mountain View team going on a batting rampage which along with some costly errors netted them 11 runs. In the seventh the )Vest Van. boys started a rally which brought them within one run of the South Vancouver team. Over 200 fans witnessed the game. Tonight the local boys will take on Ex-Brock in a league game at Ambleside Park and next Tuesday ivill entertain the Collin~vood nine. Turn out and help the boys. The regular meeting of the West Vancouver Conservative Association was held in Dundar- ave Hall on Monday at 8 p. m., and following the meeting the election took place of delegates to the nominating convention in North Vancouver last Tuesday night. Geo. H. Cowan, K.C., ex- i~I.P., was the special speaker, and he gave a very able and int- eresting address. He contended that the Conservative party were the only party who had really served Canada constructively at home and abroad since Confeder- ation, citing Confederation itself the foundation of the National Policy, and their actions in 1899, 1911, and 1914 as proof of his contention. The North Shore riding in el- ecting General McRae had done more for Canada than any other riding in the country. The gen- eral's immigration scheme rec- ently proposed to the Ottawa house was the soundest and most important pronounc.ment made since Confederation, because it would solve our present di ff i- culties, which were due to lack of good immigration. SVe could do equally well by sending a Con- servative to support Dr. Tolmie. Canada must be made to keep her contract with B. C. as re- gards the return of provincial lands. The Liberal party pre- ferred taxing the people of B. C. to insisting on this being done. A unanimous vote of thanks was accorded the speaker, fol- lowing which Mrs. H. A. Eager and Miss Joan Durbin each sang a song and an encore number, Mrs. Sheffield being the accomp- anist. The following delegates were then appointed: AV. R. Hamilton, Miss 51. B. Almas, J. Haydn Young, Mrs. A. E. Young, KV. AV. Hawtin, H. A. Eager, AV. B. Small. Major J. Edelston, Alter- nates--Mrs. J. Edelston. The delegates by a unanimous motion were instructed to ask for an open convention. Phone North 346 Res.
