E. made public before the plebiscite was taken. TRANSPORTATION -- There seemed to be a divergence of op- inion as regards the femy fig- ures for 1928. There was one thing certain, however, that the ferri 8 must show a deficit, if the service asked for by the pub- lice was given. It was a case of poor service and no deficit or service demanded by the public and a deficit. You could not eat your cake "nd have it. More- over it was not right or fair that sinking fund and interest charges on the transportation system should be charged to the transportation. The cost of keeping up the roads was charg- ed to the municipality as a whole and this applied equally to the transportation sinkng fund and interest charges. We were in the transportation business of nec- essity because no private comp- any would touch it and we must keep that service at a high stan- dard until the real solution came xvith time namely transportation to the heart of the City of Van- coUvel . QUATER -- FIe supported the plebiscite on principle. The sprinkling charges should be ab- olished. They only brought in $750 a year anyhow and it was unfair to make such charges and then in times of shortage cut off the supply. FIRE PROTECTION -- The voluntary system should be con- tintted. EUe should however, call in the board of fire Underwriters in the city and ask what they ivould do to reduce the rate if ive on our part improved our fire protection, on the basis always that the decrease in rates would offset the increased cost of such additional fire protection. DEVELOPMENT OF UPPER LEVEL TAX SALE LANDS- No money should be spent in im- provements. Development should be by private enterprise as form- ulated by Reeve Vinson. PROPORTIONAL R E P R E- SENTATION -- Should be abol- ished, because, while nearest to a perfect solution, if properly used, its very complexity defeat- ed its objec:. There ought to be sir councillors instead of four. The postal service, was a dis- grace. Assistance should be giv- en those bodies who were striv- ing to improve it. Representa- tions should be made at head- quarters to do away with present conditions. Hollyburn Ridge, while of no commercial value, was a natural park, and we should join with all of the North Shore and Great- er Vancouver in having it set aside for this purpose. He was opposecl to amalgama- tion ~vith the other North Shore municipalities, because we were developing along entirely differ- ent lines, but he strongly favor- ed the three North Shore muni- cipalities joining Vancouver. The Zoning By-law The legislature of B. C. he said had passed a town planning act, The 1926 council had passed the zoning by-law after holding two public meetings, and an inquil~ to which objectors were invited. He severely criticised the AVest Van Neivs for their steady criti- cism of it, quoting portions of its editorials, and then read the government's reasons for pass- ing the town planning act. AVest Vancouver had ceased to be a bush town, and needed the zon- ing bylaw. He quoted the build- ing figures for 1926, 1927, and 1928, saying in his opinion the zoning bylaw was responsible for the rapid growth, and for the fact that since its passing the big loan companies had advanc- ed money freely on )Vest Van- couver property. He also stated they would call in their loans when due if the bylaw was re- pealed. E. J. Crickmay 31r. Crickmay, candidate for the council, said he believed he was one of the oldest pioneers in )Vest Vancouver, having been on a survey of a quarter section in Dundarave thirty-three years ago. He would do what was right and honorable if elected. He was in favor of day labor, as such a CHAIN RED A59 WHITE STORE SPECIALS FRIDAY AND SATURDAY SunRist Oranges - per dox 15'.

IIe was in favor of the;lmalgamation of the water systems. Councillor lU. AI. Jacknlan DIr. Jackman statecl that the 1928 council had had a water- ivorks by-law for $ 112,000 pre- pared last January, but hacl been told by the officials in Victoria that they coulcl only spend money on improving the water system by taking it out of revenue, until an amendment hacl been passecl to a special act in reference to West Vancouver. If the plebis- cite for the amalgamation of the ivater systems passecl, then re- medial legislation would also be passed in Victoria to remedy the situation. The proposed amal- gamation was a preliminary to joining the Greater Vancouver )Uater Boarcl, which would cost nothing. The only condition was that they assign over to the board 250 miner inches of Cap- ilano water and woulcl get from them all the water they needed at cost. The present rate charg- ed us for water was six cents p r 625 gallons, but as members of the board they ivould pay only 2.75 cents, the same rate as Van- collvel'. AU. ilIcQuaker Mr. 5Icguaker was in favor of the amalgamation of the water systems, but would have liked more information upon it. He thought an actuary should have been employed. The ferries should be improved, because they represented the shortest and cheapest route. Bus transpor- tation takes longer and costs more. There had been no con- tinuity of the chairmen of trans- portation, and consequently no continuity of policy. The Son- risa bonds were due in a few years, and, when they had been paid off, the situation ivould be easier. He wanted to know whether the P. G. E. intended to vacate )Vest Vancouver for all time. If so, the line should be taken up and the right of way handed over to West Vancouver. EVe should then retain 20 feet of it and build a road with the pro- ceeds of the sale of the remain- ing 60 feet. Community effort would go a long way to solving the development of our parks and beaches. Ez-Reeve D. blorgan "What divas wrong with West Vancouver," AIr. Morgan asked, and his answer was "defective transportation." EVe should build up cheap transportation by motor. He would advocate put- ting on a municipal bus service from EVhytecliff to )Vest Bay for a five cent fare, and from Whyte- cliff to North Vancouver for fif- teen cents. The destruction of the Capilano bridge by flood was responsible for $ 12,000 of the overdraft of $29,000 at the end of 1921 when he was reeve. To take care of this Reeve Vinson who followecl him had raised the rate from 27 mills to 36 mills, but he had never reduced it aft- envards. Reeve Vinson had stated that he ancl Mr. Gisby had put their heads together to defeat him. They had, however, no objection to 5Ir. Vinson but only to his policy.
