V SIX PAGES HOLLYBURN P.O., / BOTH BY-I.AWS I'ASS BY HEAVY liIAJORITIES ! The IVest Vancouver electorate spoke on Wednesday in nu uncertain fashion, giving large majorities for both by-laws. The Anal figures are as follows: WATER BY-LAW For ............„......................., . 594 Against ............................. 195 Spoilt ...... .................. ........ 6 794 WARD ABOLITION BY-I AW For .......................................... G2G Against ................................... 146 Spoilt..................................... 16 788 The results of the voting for the Water By-law is a matter for sincere congratulation. 'Ihe large majority in its favor testiiies to the fact that our residents are determined to take advantage of the gifts bestowed by nature, and make our beautiful municipality a place in which the people of Greater Vancouver will be anxious to build homes. Possibly few here realized the serious results which would have followed the by-law's defeat. A number of our present residents had decided to leave had this occurred, and others from the city who are contemplating building here would have changed their plans. West Vancouver is being very carefully watched these days by those outside its boundaries, and with good roads already built and an adequate supply of water assured our municipality will in the very near future be making rapid progress. The passing of the water by-law was one of the best day's work ever done for West Vancouver. So far as the Ward Abolition and consequently P.lt. abol- ition are concerned, there was little doubt of the outcome. The P.R. System has been nothing but an affliction to the v etio» vublie e«ei shies it wae estaidkherr lier e; 'i» it »ao'ertainthat the electors would snow it under at the first opportunity providing that coulil be done without a return to the Ward System.

G. Harvey a lung letter. this being a copy of a letter he hsd sent to the council, asking a number of questions in refer- ence to the Water By-lnw, and which he asked us to publish in our last issue. We note he man- aged to get it published in very small type in last Tuesday's I'ruvince, and above under his signature was s statement from him saying he had sent it to us nnd we had not published it. As against the twenty-two pages of the Province we had in our last issue six pages and over twu columns occupied with the of- ficial notice of the two by-laws voted on last Wednesday ss well as almost a third column, which was the concluding portion of a letter on "The Water Situation" by J. Duncan. The first part of this latter letter had appeared in our issue of the 19th ultimo. IVhile the Water By-law is one of the most important ever sub- mitted to the electorate, our renders expect to find in our is- sues a full account of the various activities going on in the muni- cipality, and, ns we explained to 6lr. Harvey over the phone, we had nut the space for his letter, having given already all we could prxvsibly give to the»abject o( the Water By-law. lqa one Rn run a newspaper successfully and turn any par- ticular issue into a pamphlet on any une particular subject. We have thought it necessary to publish this explanation, not for Mr. Harvey, in whom and » hose opinions we are most pro- foundly disinterested, but for readers who might have wonder- ed why we did not publish the letter in question.
