Newest nds 5 p copy s! tai. ! it ihi thu Iir- ! ii tin Vol. V No. 14 -- j NUMIIER YOI'R HOUSES The Postmaster, Vancouver, has been notified by the Post Office Department that it has decided to provide house to house delivery of mail to the well built up sections of the ilistricts now served by the Hofiyburn and Dundarave Post Offices as soon as the conditions under which such service is usuafiy granted have been met. These conditions comprise, amongst others, stipulations that the names of the streets are placed at the intersections and that the houses are properlv numbered and are provided wih letter slots or other suitable receptacles for the receipt of mail. The date of the inaugura- tion of the letter carrier delivery service, therefore, depends upon how soon the street signs are erected by the lhlunicipal authorities and the houses are numbered and the mail recep- tacles provided by thc residents. The Municipal Council, at a recent meeting, decided to 0 have posts bearing the names of the streets erected withoutdelay at the intersections,and the residents should do their part by arranging to have their houses numbered and provided with suitable mail receptacles. The Postal authorities request that the number be placed on that part of the house facing the street from which delivery will be made. If a house is situated some distance from the street, the number and the mail receptacle should be placed on the gate post, fence or elsewhere close to the street. In the case of a house which is easily accessible, a slot through which mail can be delivered into the house is preferable, but where outside receptacles are provided they should be locked so that mail cannot be taken therefrom by unauthorized per- soils. Residents must supply their own numbers, but what that number is can be ascertained at the Municipal Hall. Commencing at once, residents should take advantage of every opportunity to have their street and number included in the address on, mail sent to them. The Postal authorities estimatp that at the outset it will be practicable to provide direct delivery service to about 1150 families and 120 places of business. lcaulfieild Fire to Cost f!3,600.

Royal Welcome GI West Varcouver gave a royal welcome to the tars of the visit- ing warships on Saturday after- noon and evening, and, if what the sailor lads said was true,-- and sailors usually speak their minds regardless of consequenc- es -- it was the best time ashore they have had during this cruise. The regatta proved a tremend- ous attraction and Dundarave pier was crowded with onlookers when the two hundred ratings arrived and took up the space reserved for them on the scow. Reeve Leyland gave a brief ad- dress of welcome previous to the start of the events, in which the Navy men did well considering that they had not been in the water for three months. This was due to the fact that in the south around the Panama the ses was infested with sharks and later up in Alaska the water was too cold. In spite of this, however, Seaman Foreman of H.M.S. Des- patch, the champion diver of the British Navy, gave the finest ex- hibition of diving ever witnessed at Dundarave. The gig and whal- er races had unfortunately to be cancelled as H.M.S. Despatch has only been commissioned two inert'!tti aud her boat, craws, therefore had not had time to get together. Mrs. A. J. Marling of the Hol- lyburn Gift Shop, presented the sailors with a boutoniere as a remembrance of West Vancouver and the excefient supper served by the I.O.D.E. and other organ- izations in the Orange Hall pre- pared the Navy men for a very enjoyable evening. Certainly they did not waste a moment. The dance put on by the W.V. A.S.C. and L.O.L. No. 2990 in the Orange Hall was a great success. The floor was packed with danc- VATER A!VD WHARF BY-LAWS PASS The council last night passed a $ 165,000 water by-law and a $7,500 wharf by-law, which will be voted upon within three or four weeks. A plebiscite will also be taken on the P.R. system of voting. The water by-law will be fin- anced by 30-year bonds st 5 per cent ard the wharf by-law by five-year bonds at 6 per cent: The water scheme, which is a comprehensive one, will supply afi those parts of the municipal- ity which have either received no water or an inadequate amount, in addition to distributing pipes in local areas. The by-law provides for a 14- inch main from the Greater Van- couver )Vater Board at the Cap- llano River, which is now served with a stx inch pipe Another provision will be an automat:c electric pump at the corner of Inglewood and Eleven- th Street, which will, if neces- sary, pump water as high as the 700-foot level. This particular part of the project will eliminate any possibility of water shortage such av the residents have been sufl'ering from this year anil pre- vious summers. The scheme also allows for an eight-inch cast iron main from REV. DR. PASCOE GOARD To SPEAK TONIGHT Rev. Dr. W. Pascoe Goard, of London, England, will give an address tonight (Friday) at 8 p. m. in the rew Orange Hall, under the auspices of the British Israel World Federation. Dr. Goard is one of the outstanding men in the world of today. His opinion on the future trend of nations and of civilization has been sought by many of the lead- ing statesmen of the world. Only recently by request he furnished the London Morning Post with an analysis of world problems and their outcome which occupied one whole page of that paper and which was afterwards copied by many of the great work! dailies. West Vancouver is very fortun- ate to have the opportunity of listening to Dr. Goard. Professor Odium and a number of other prominent mer., wifi be on the platform. the Cypress intake, which is served now by a badly worn 5- inch wooden pipe, while connect- ing with the Cypress Creek main will be an 8-inch main from West Bay to the eastern boundary of Caulfeild and from the western boundary of Caulfeild to Eagle Harbor. The wharf by-law provides for much needed repairs to Amble- side wharf to protect municipal ferries from damage in rough weather. TRADE AND DOG LICENSFR The municipal hall authorities have asked us to give notice that afi unpaid trade and dog licenses must be paid within ten days from this date, 29th August. Failure to do so will render the person responsible liable to pros- ecution without further «vtrning. An advertisement relative to this appears in this issue. OUR lhlUSIC TEACHERS )Vest Vancouver by reason of the succes«cs «on by her choirs as well as by individual perform- ers has earned a very high repu- tatlon as a musical centre. While afi honor L«due to those who have been so successful in the various lines of musical en- deavor, it must be remembered that ss much or more credit is due to the West Vancouver teachers whose knowledge, ex- perience, and iraining enat)ed their pupiL« to win against ao many other competitors. These teachers are now resum- ing their classes for ihe fao term and newer residents can be assured that in studying with them they will receive the very hest instruction. SHOW Ol'ERATING SUPPLUR The auditors report on the municipal transportation system for the seven months ending 31st July, sl.owed an operating su~ plus of $2,568.52. Receipts from the ferries totalled $47,377.10 as against expenses for wages, etr.. of $33,996.79. The buses brought ia $ 11,684.19 and expenses in this connection were $ 10,52521.
