REEVE VINSON (Co»tinued from Page 1) The year 1928, as everybody knew, had been a lean one eveig- where, and in EVest Vancouver conditions had been the same. His council and himself had cur- tailed expenditures as much as possible. His policy for 1929 was, 1. To strike estimates so as to keep mil rate as low as pos- sible--the same as last year. He would not tax improvements. As a matter of fact, it would be necessary to have every house valued before this could be done, so that everyone would have ample warning of any such pol- icy being even contemplated. 2. Transportation.--He would like to see it as quick, safe, and comfortable as possible, and had a scheme whereby this could be accomplished without any addi- tional cost. 3. High Level Tax Sale Lands --The sale oi these would mater- ially reduce taxes generally. He had had many schemes put up to him during past years by speculators, but had turned them down. A development scheme had now b en placed before him, however, which he considered was reliable and good. He had hoped to be able to give full par- ticulars, but at present could o»ly state that the proposal came from the Old Country, and the money to carry it out had been actually put up and was in the Bank of Montreal. In any case a fixed assessment would be ask- .ed, so that it would have to come before the electorate. So far as the P. G. E. deal was concerned his council and him- self had thioughout the negotia- tions stated their opposition to the discontinuance of the serv- ice, although informed categori- cally right at the beginning that under no circumstances would the Whytecliff service be resum- ed. They had insisted on the mor- al right of the railway to provide such a service. They had fur- ther brought up the matter of the increase in traffic, the cut- ting off the service would cause on Marine Drive on whch they had no mon y to spend. The P. G. E. directors said they were in the same position. Then the Minister of Public Works had been called in, and the deal ar- ranged. While the reeve was a- ware that $ 140,000 of this was only what would have come to them from the public works de- partment as the government's share of a secondary highway, they had previously been advis- ed of there being grave doubt of their getting this sum. AVhile he believed that AVhytecliff would gain from the measure, as they would have visitors twelve months of the year instead of a few Sundays as a result of the fixing of )Iarine Drive and the building of a new Capilano brdge it was his intention to look after their interest in the matter. He believed a tariff could be arrang- ed with private transportation companies or the municipal bus system could be extended to con- nect with the ferries. His program was: 1 ~ Consolidation of water systems and joining up with the Greater Vancouver Water Board. 2. Amending Zoning By-law. 3. Better fire fighting equip- ment. 4. More efficient disposal of garbage. %Vest Vancouver Bible School Ambleside Ilail, blarine at 14th Sunday, January 20th, at 3 p. in. Lender MR.

He was in favor of all work being done by day labor, so long as there were available good local men to take charge, as was the case in AVest Vancouver. Wages constitutetl 84 per cent. of any contract, and all this would then come into the pockets of our own residents. Attention should be given to the building of local roads, and he was in'favor of the amalgamation of the water sys- tems. Councillor lV. 5I. Jackman Mr. Jackman reminded his hearers that )ie used to be known as "the AVes-. Vancouver vision- ary." However, one most im- portant requisite of a public man was vision, aand due to his vision, the rural school system had been abolished in the district; while he was school trustee, and con- solidated graded schools and a high school substituted therefor. The other important requisite was a sense of humor, which as an Irishman he possessed and which led to an appreciation of criticism. A public man without a sense of humor became in time "an unmitigated snob." Critic- ism was of two kinds, construc- tive and destructive, the latter being of two kinds, malicious and that based on misinformation. After referring to the transport- ation system, he took up the P. G. E. deal, stating categorically that at the beginning of the ne- gotiations the council had been informed by the railroad direct- ors that under no circumstances would the EVhytecliff service be renewed. It was hoped to ar- range for eighteen busses to AVhytecliff to look after the needs of th residents there. AV. 5Icguaker Wvo years ago, Mr. McQuaker said, he had advocated a unified water system for West Vancou- ver. There was a great deal to be said in favor of the amalga- mation of the water systems, but he thought we should have more information on the subject before voting. The Greater Van- couver Water. Board had, for in- stance, raised their rates consid- erably the last two years. Personally, he was in favor of our getting our water from Hol- lyburn Ridge by erecting a dam and reservoir capable of holding sufficient to supply 20,000 people for one month and with ade- quate filteration arrangements. )Ve should a!ways have a ferry system, because it was the short- est and cheapest route. We all want cheap, safe and comfort- abl transportation. We should employ a transportation expert for three months, and then act on his report. The question of sewers was a serious problem, and should be attended to. Ex-Reeve David blorgan Things had not gone well, he Januaiy 18, 1929. said, since hc left the reeveship at the encl of 192G, which was boom ~ear in ~Vest ~ ancou ver. He had had a longer ex- perience in municipal office than any one else, having served two years each as councillor and reeve, and sixteen years as a councillor n the Old Country. The Zoning by-law had been put o» the books by him and the 1926 council, and, while at the time he thought it good, he was now of the opinion it had done some harm to the district. At the same time two public meetings and an inquiry had been held previously on it, and only one objector had voiced his opposi- tion. He was prepared to have it amendecl. Though an old sup- porter of Proportional Represen- tation, he aclmitted it was not what it was cracked up to be, and he was in favor of abolish- ing it and bringing back the ward system. Ex-Reeve S. Gisby Ex-Reeve Gisby, who came up on the platform when asked to speak, saicl that he would not address the meeting at this time but at his own meeting he would go fully into municipal matters. He hoped that all would come to his meeting, judge for themselv- es, and then vote for the best man. E Councillor J B Leyland Ez Councillor J B Leyland thought it would not be good spoi tsmanship not to accept the reeve's kind invitation to speak on his platform EVhile he would speak at greater length at his own meeting, his policy in brief was as follows: Finance--Sane administration that is not reckless spending, but at the same time not holding the ~purse strings too hard. Money had to be spent if the district was to go ahead Bank Overdraft--This he und- erstood, was $53,000, and should be reduced as much as possible. In favor of local road bylaw. Transportation--Only one way from heart of West Vancouver to the heart of Vancouver. Un- til then ferries should be kept as efficient as possible, as they were the life-blood of the muni- cipality. EVater--He thought that in voting for the amalgamation of the Water Systems the voters were only voting for a principle. The system of sprinkling fees was antiquated and should be abolished. Zoning By-law. -- It should have been lieralded from coast had been the first to take advant- age of the town planning act. to coast that )Vest Vancouver He would reply at his meeting to the criticisms of the bylaw in West Van News. C. J. Archer C. J. Archer stated he had not offered himself for election as Police Commissioner until he had found out that Mr. Procter was not running, and both the latter and D. McTavish had gone on his papers. He took a great interest in the municipality and would do his best if elected. J. Edington J. Edington as a condidate for School Trustee, asked for the same support he had received in the past, and he promised the same service, if elected. BIrs. ilI. Selwood Mrs. Selwood said it had been stated that housewives knew nothing of municipal affairs. However, she was of the opinion that thev were well posted on school children and schools, and she hoped to be elected to one of the three vacancies on the school board. blaking a Good Showing She: I bobbed my hair to show my independence.
