"The Vancouver City Council is sympathetic with the request of the North Vancouver City council regarding the amalgama- tion of Vancouver and that city, but it does not think the time is yet opportune for such a merg- er," was the information convey- ed to the North Vancouver Coun- cil Monday evening in a letter from William i4IcQueen, Vancou- ver city clerk. The advisability of the North Vancouver City and District councils jointly discussing fur- ther the matter of amalgamation was cited so the question of am- algamation will appear on the a- genda at the next joint meeting of the two councils.

SAYS ENGINEER HANES'EPORT IS UNFAIR Strong objection to statements made in a recent report subrnit- ted to the North Vancouver City Council by City Engineer George S. Hanes regarding the condition of the local ferry wharf were voiced by Ferry Superintendent George Chalmers in a letter to the council Monday evening. "The report of the engineer re- garding the pontoons at the fer- ry wharf has been unfairly ex- aggerated, said Mr. Chalmers. He said the particular pontoon which Mr. Hanes reported as ser- iously corroded and pitted is a- bout twenty years old and has been in place about two years. It has been in the way of the wash of the propellers of the boats and lias been subjected to the dam- aging effects of driftwood, add- ed iiIr. Chalmers. Regarding Mr. Hanes'riti- cism of the painting of the pon- toons, Mr. Chalmers said "it has been considered good practice by many shipbuilders to apply red paint as a base for under-water p!ates. Four of the pontoons were treated with that paint to prolong their life. "The report is most unfair and misleading when it suggests that the whole of the $60,000 or $70,- 000 investment is in danger," AIr. Chalmers concluded.

WINTER FAIR before the leaves and their sun- sl:iny golden color seems to light up the whole garden. F. fortunai is the tall growing kind that com- bines beautifully with lilacs. The earliest blooming member of the family is F. intermedia. The lowest growing type, F. suspensa has long slender training branch- es. These are just a few sugges- tions that can be carried out this Fall for new lovelingss in the Spring. We are in receipt of a card from one of our readers request- ing information in connection with the planting of privet cut- tings. Lack of space prevents answering the inquiry this week but the answer will appear next week. Than you, Mr. Grundy for your kind letter. EVe are giving serious thought to your sugges- tion. Perhaps we can induce the Editor to allow us more space. There are many reasons for planting in the fall--but the one that is the most convincing--the one that changes fanciful musing to eager activity--is the pleas- ant anticipation of the pictur- esque garden that will be yours next year. The shrubs are the backbone oi the planting, so give them first consideration, Can you im- agine spring coming and going without lilacs to cast their spell over the scene? If you haven' several kinds of this well known shrub, plant them this fall. The lilac (Syringa) season is all too short, but you can, by proper selection of varieties, extend their blooming period several N eeks. Most familiar of all is the ever popular S. vulgaris, with its love- ly clusters of sweetly scented purple flowers. S. vulgaris alba is a sister variety that groivs slenderly upright and has blooms of white instead of purple. Closely following are the Chin- ese and Persian varieties. S. per- sica and S. chinensis. Both have unusually large plumes of ex- quisitely perfumed blossoms. S. villosa is a later flowering type, as well as S. josikaea, which forms a large bush saith rather small, faintly scented blooms of heliotrope color. The common lilac is perfectly hardy and does well under the most unfavorable conditions. Of course, if it has plenty of sun and is planted in good soil it shows its appreciation with increased beauty. The other varieties, however, need a better soil to make a suc- cessful start, and they like an occasional feeding of bone meal or manure. Another shrub that will be charming in your planting is the Flowering Almond. Like the li- lacs, the flowering almond is also very hardy, and forms a very pretty dwarf bush. Early in the spring, even be- fore the leaves have dared to venture forth, the brave little flowers join in the spring sym- phony of color. The blossoms put one in mind of roses, except that they are smaller and snuggle close to the branches. Flowering almond can be had with either delicate pink or pret- ty white flowers, and for early bloom in the shrub border, you will find it especially valuable. A shrub that will add still an- other color to the border is For- sythia. Its flowers also appear Join now and get the full bene- fit of it. "The popularity of the British Columbia Winter Fair is grow- jrig by leaps anti bounds," said Mr. F. D. Gross, on his return from the annual sheep sale held at Kamloops recently, where he was representing the Vancouver Exhibition Association. "The Winter Fair is popular with the farmers, and producersol'he province, because at the same time it is a show ring an&i n splendid marketing opportun- ity for them, and they plan for this event for months." Exhibits in large numbers are assured from the interior as well as other parts of the province, ilIr. Gross stated, and the de- partments of horses, cattle, sheep and swine will be well filled with many new exhibitors in- cluded in the list. The fair wi!I be held November 27 to 30 at Hastings Park.
