Tolmie and the cabinet in Victoria, submit- ted a brief written report to the iVort h Vancouver City Council Monday evening. Ald. Bridgman stated that Premier Tolmie had given the assurance that survey parties would be out in the spring to survey the line.

"I agree with Ald. Bridgman," said Mayor AIorden. "I feel sure the reply received from the gov- ernment will set at rest for all time all rumors of the govern- ment's reported intentions of a- bandoning the line. I don't know how we could have received a more satisfactory reply."
