001C9699 January 18, 1929. S . GISBY (Continued from Page 1) do if elected, also support Van- couver in their kick against the Carrall Street crossing. The tax sale lands were to be set off against the overdraft. They had the same lands when he was reeve and no overdraft. He would handle any sale of them in a business way, but his idea was to conserve them as the best asset with which to get the First Narrows bridge built, on which West Vancouver's future depended. He would not, he said, tax local improvements, although the bank overdraft had brought such a course that much nearer. In purchasing fire apparatus he would consult Chiefs Car]isle and Alurphy in Vancouver, and not go to Portland. He was in favor of day labor on contracts, and the giving of insurance to local men. His first act if elected, would be to take a general survey of the district, and rough grave]ling and grad- ing would be done by local men. Captain C. J. Archer Captain Archer regretted that Colonel Savory, who was also running for police commissioner, was unable through sickness to appear on the platform. He did not wish to take any advantage of this, but, wished to say brief- ly that he would do all he could, if elected, to further the best interests of the municipality. Mr. Gisby stated he had phon- ed Colonel Savory to ask if there was any message he would like conveyed to the electors, but the Colonel was confined to his bed, and he was unable to get in touch with him. T. E. W. Russell Mr. Russell, candidate 'or schoo] trustee, stated that the~ +choo] board's duties were large- ly of an administrative nature, and were therefore not as wide as those of the council. At the same time their duties were in a way the more important, because it was up to them to see that the children were properly prepared by education for the battle of life. He had two children going to the public schools, and was himself a member of the P. T. A. Airs. H. G. Selwood Ali~. Se]wood considered the school board the most important public body in the municipality. The education of our children was most essential. This was an age when "speed" was the great cry, but "steady and firm" was a better slogan for school children. A. E. Young A. E. Young, candidate for the school board, said he was un- fortunate in that the other can- didates had said all he had to say. He thought the school ac- comodation was large enough for years to come. The administra- tion work of any school board must be done carefully and ef- ficiently. E. J. Crickmay E. J. Crickmay said his ideas a'ere those &vhich he had before expressed at Reeve Vinson'B meeting on Alonday night. In re- gard to Councillor Jackman's re- marks on Monday night re the ferries.as "the white elephant," if the private cars were respon- sible for the summer shrinkage in the ferry receipts, what would happen when Alariit Drive was widened and the Capilano bridge and First i~anows bridge built? Personally, he believed the stag- es and not the private cars were responsible. Councillor W. AI. Jackman Councillor Jackman stated that in using the term "white ele- phant" on Alonday evening he re- ferred to Duiidarave Eyharf and not the ferries as suggested by Mr. Crickmay. He read a letter he had obtained from the muni- cipal so]icitor on the legal re- spo»sibility of the municipality in the case of a feria accident involving loss of life, a question brought up by Mr. Cross at Reeve Vinson's meeting. The maximum liability was $38.92 per ton, or a limit of $3247.67 in the case of No. 6. The personal liability policies carried provided for $20,000 in case of accident and a total liability per person of $ 10,000. He had now the bal- ance sheet oi the transportation system, shoiving a tota] operat- ing d,eficit of $ 12,000 approxi- mately. This was caused by the extra service given in 1928. The new engine on the Sonrisa had cost $ 10,614. The balance at credit stood at $ 112,441.99, and the sinking fund was more than protected. He asked ~lr. Gisby the follow- ing question: "Did he endorse the principle of two partners of same firm sittting on a council? Iyas it good policy?" Mr. Gisby replied he and Mr, Fiddes had been partners for years,and had been quite successful in their business. IV. AlcQuaker AIr. McQuaker was in favor of amalgamation of the water sys- tems and joining the Greater Vancouver Water Board. People in )Yhytec]iff considered that the stoppage of the P. G. E. trains West Van.

THE WEST VAN NEWS ivou]d cost them the best half of their income, because visitors will not travel by busses. AVest Vancouver had the only beaches on the North Shore, and they should be developed by private enterprise, this also applying particularly to Ambleside Park. He instanced as a model for AYest Vancouver to follow Gar- den City in England, a self-con- tained town of 10,000 with a number of light industries run from one central power station, which had the only chimney in the place. Ex-Reeve David Alorgan Ex-Reeve iAIorgan considered transportation our most serous probkm. He considered the fer- ries unsuitable for the following reasons: They were not safe. There had been severa] accidents in the rec- ent foggy weather. They were inadequate, because fi]]ed to capacity now and he heard nothing of new ferries be- ing built. They were too expensive. At the same time he paid a high tribute to the excellence of their crews. The loss on the ferries this year, he said, was $20,000 not $ 12,000, and this year not one dollar of the sink- ing fund and interest charges had been met out of the ferry receipts. The boats should be taken off gradually, and bus transportation provided either to the centre of Vancouver or to North Vancouver. P. Wait The ferries, Mr. EVait said, should land here at a point fur- ther east. It was as dangerous on Alarine Drive as on the fer- ries in foggy weather. Every small accident on the water was magnified but we never thought of all the motor accidents. He was in favor of the amalgama- tion of the water systems, if desirable, and joining the Great- er Vancouver Eyater Board, but at the same time he had ben advised by a competent engineer that it was quite possible to build a reservoir on Hollyburn Ridge. There was a large quantity of water on the Ridge running to waste which might be saved to us if we had a reservoir built there to conserve it. Ex-Counci]lor J. B. Leyland Mr. Leylaiid, referring to the bank overdraft of $53,000 stated that in 1926 there had been no overdraft when he was chairman of finance. At the same time they were entitled to the money, which had been spent in devel- opment work. His policy would be, not to increase, but to de- crease this overdraft as soon as possible. The school rates a- mounted to 20 mils out of the genera] ratio of 45 mils. He thought that the government should assume the cost of the schools entirely. If elected, he wou]d see that money was spent on essentials first and on "the frills" afterwards. Reeve V. V. Vinson i~lr. Vinson congratulated the prop]e on the great interest they &vere showing in the affairs of the district by turning out in such large numbers to the can- didates'eetings. Various remarks had been made by several of the candi- dates in reference to financial matters in the past. It was his intention at his meeting in Holly burn Theatre on Friday night to go into Ex-Reeve Gis- by's conduct of affairs in 1924 and 1925 and Ex-Reeve Alorgan's handling of municipal matters in 1926. Alr. Morgan, he said, had stated previous to his elec- tion in 1926 that he wou]d est- «blish bus fares at 15 cents from Whytsc]iff to North Vancouver City. but they had been raised above this after he had been elects.d.
