The following is the text of Reeve Leyland's address to the new council 3 West Vancouver, B.C., Thursday, Jan. 22nd, 1931. To the Members of the 1931 Council: Gentlemen--This being the first meeting of the 1931 Coun- cil, allow me to offer sincere con- gratulations to the newly elected members on the high honor that has been conferred upon them, and also to express my personal pleasure in being privileged. through the good wishes of the citizens, to preside over your de- liberations during the current year. To the retiring members of the Council may I expre&sa, on . behalf of the citizens, very sin- cere appreciation of the splendid work accomplished by them dur- ing many years devoted to the public service of this community and who by their untiring efforts have set an euunple to this and future Councils which may well -bee em&date-'.!- During the year we will have many important problems to dis cuss and the following policy is suggested as a basis for con- sideration: 1.--FIN Ah& CE Seldom in the history of lVest Vancouver has a Council been called to office at a time when world economic conditions were as strained as at the present period. With this fact in mind. efFecting our whole financial structure, and with the passi- bility of a decrease in revenues from Government grants and other sources. It will be our duty to give the most careful study to local financial problems. Com- mitments for departmental ex- penditures should be made for essentials only, preference being given to those developments af- fecting the welfare of the Muni- cipality as a whole, rather than to individual requirementa 2.--WATEIL The work now being under- taken under Water By-law No. 449, must be pressed to comple- tion with the utmost dispatch in in order that an adequate supply of water may be avaBable throughout the year. By the system of d~.-labor it is hoped to considerably relieve unem- ployment, and to keep money distributed in local circulation. With careful management it may be anticipated that th» work will be completed at less than the estimated cost, allow- ing a 9&x&sible surplus to be used for further extensions and re- newaLs. 3.--PI'BLIC WORKS. It is suggested that the Prov- incial Government be consulted with a view to certain improve- ments being undertaken on 31ar. ine Drive, which is now a Prim- ary Highway. we should urge that in the current estimates for 1931, provision be made for guard rails on the eastern and western approaches to Capilano IContinued on Page 6)
