These two By-laivs should re- ceive the unanimous support of'he Electors. The small Road By-law you are asked to vote for is in line with, and a continuation of, the policy which has been establish-'l in our district since 1925, whereby we have been opening necessary roads within the settl- ed areas. I'. is a continuation of that policy, but with this dif- ference; that the major portion of the roads ive now hope to open can be handled by municipal labor, thereby materially reduc- ing the Board of EVorks estimat- es for the year and enabling the district to carry on this nec- essary work much more econom- ically than will be possible should the By-law unfortunately be de- 1eated. All of the roads listed in the By-laiv schedule are im- portant and cannot much longer be neglected. The question now is shall we by passing the By- law take on the work at the small annual cost of 1.18 mills or shall we proceed with it out of a rev- e»ue amount which it will take a considerable higher mill rate to produce. That is the ques- tion, and from a strictly econom- ic point of view I recommend that this By-law he passed.

Provision is also made foe replacements in this area as we have at present time only %&-in pipes laid on some streets serv- ing up to as many as 6 homes. The installation of a water system to cover the large district at Cypress also comes within the proposal. This area has up to the present, been without a prop- er ivater supply and it is intended to carry a 10-inch main along iMarine Drive eastward in order to link up with the present AVest Bay EVater System so that the whole of West Bay District (which contains about 90 homes) could be supplied with ivater from Cypress Creek, thereby re- lieving the more settled district. This would also greatly reduce the quantity of water which we will have to purchase from the Board as all water used by IVest REEVE V. V. VliVSOiV (Continued from Page 1) I need not say that an abund- ant supply of water is of the first importance to any civilized com- munity. Health and comfort both depend upon it, and we have Providence alone to thank that our district has maintained its health in the immediate past without such a supply.

The avhole scheme is an en- deavov to supply all the settled districts ivith water and in plac- ing the by-laws before the elec- torate I woulrl ask one and all to give the matter their sincere con- sideration. In soliciting the tax- payers'uppovt I would ask them to bear in mind the shortage which takes place during the .'ummer months. This condition affects the domestic users as well as those that find it neces- sary to sprinkle their gardens during the dvy season. At this time we shoulrl also consider the dive necessity of a greater water silpply for five fighting purposes. In this regard I may say, the District was recen tlv surveyed by the engineers of the Fire Undenvvitevs'ssociation and if the expenditures in water works ave kept below the point of efficiency we may find our- selves paying higher premiums foi fire insurance.

By-law 409 or the Roads by- l".w deserves the particular at- tention of the voters. The coun- cil feel that it is very necessary tnat this by-law should be favor- ably considered as it is most pressing at this particular time. Much of the work projected und- ei this by-law has been before council for the past three years and can only be constructed und- er by-law appropvi ation. It is absolutely impossible to under- take capital construction work out of current revenue. Close scrutiny of Schedule "A" of the by-law will demonstrate the ne- cessity of these connecting roads tv complete the chain of surfaced roads already existing. The var- ious pieces of roads indicated are all necessary and taking into consideration the needs of traf- fic very equitably distributed throughout the various wards. The finishing of Keith Road to 3rd Street will provide an upper hard surface road from the Cap- ilano to 25th Street. The cost of this by-law is on a $500 as- sessment 59 cents. The u»ex- pended borrowing power after deducting the $ 160,000 for these by-laws remains at $201,608. In 1932 we shall have a further ad- ditional $ 132,000 making $388,- 608 owing to the retirement of ~~182,000 of Ferry bonds. It is to be earnestly hoped that a thoroughly representative vote will be polled. All who are elig- ible to vote on money by-laws should make a special effort to cast their ballots either for or ;against according to their con- scientious decision. It is to be remembered that money by-laws require a three-fifths majority of all legal votes polled.

The third by-law has to do with the joining of )Vest Van- couver to the Greater Vancouver AVater District. I do not see that much harm would be done k:y passing this by-law for I am given to understand that we shall obtain a reduction in the rate charged us for such water as we cli aw fi-om the kvater Br tomains and any who decir'~ vote for the )Vater By-law" ss.s to be consistent, also votP ~ this one. I hope that I have made it clear that I do not feel that, hav- ing in mind the existing state of affairs, these by-laivs have re- ceived the consideration that they should and I would add as a warning that those who vote in favor of them must be pre- pared to have their improve- ments taxed next year. Before closing it might also be well for me to remind the ratepayers that the balance of ou r borrowing powers is bu t $400,000.00 and this after taking ci'edit for the value of improve- ments and for our assets in the ~'ater system and the ferry ser- i ice and also that at the present time conditions in the bond mar- ket are unfavorable. that the psychology of the voters tends to opposite re-actions; those favoving a measure gener- allyy accept the comfortable be- lief that it will surely pass and are more or less indifferent and a large proportion of this type on polling day adopt the attitude of "letting George do it"; where- as those who are in opposition to a measure neglect no possible chance of polling the last possible vote against the measure. Three fifths it requires and three-fifths must be polled to carry these by-laws, so it behooves those elector whn are in favor of these by-laws passing to put forth every energy to effect their pur- pose by getting out all the voters they possibly can on Polling Day. COUN. D. AIORGAN (Continued from Page 1) would say that I recommend that before any further monies are expended on our waterworks a thorough survey of our needs should be made by an expert engineer and an endeavor made tn provide a water system that will be adequate to meet the needs of all parts of the Munici- pality and that at a minimum of cost. I am told that the pres- sure from the EVater Board Sys- tem will only rise to some 500 feet while I am also informed that we have an ample supply of water at Eagle Lake which could be delivered to an altitude of a- bout 1,600 feet. If this is true why should we buy water through an old leaky system? For a New Building or a Repair Job AVe can supply everything you need.
