C. Grauuicicd 5 Iba, Iic j CORRESPONDENCE The Editor, Dear Sir: 1Vith reference to the letter of Mr. C. H. Cates ap- pearing in the 'Province'or the 5th February last. His sugges- tion is the only real practical solution for railroad communica- tion with the North Shore. Could not the C.P.R. be ap- proached and requested to recon- sider the matter of supplying the missing link, that is--the dist- ance from Ioco to the railway at the north end of the Second Narrows bridge, some seven miles as the crow flies, bridging Indian Ann, at say, Boulder Is- land, or thereabouts. If the C.P.R. then guaranteed that in the event of their pro- posals being agreed to, they would have their locomotives in the City of North Vancouver in ninety days, i.e., from Port Moody to North Vancouver, how long would it now take them, seeing that a very considerable portion is now constructed? In 1911, the ides then being circulated was--that the C.P.R. had under consideration the con- struction of a wharf in the vicin- ity of D.L. 665, West Vancou- ver, and from there to build a line easterly through North Van- couver, crossing Indian Arm, and on to the main line at Port 5Ioody, the main object being, to transfer the mail and silk cargo from ship to train, thus speed- ing up its despatch to New York, more especially in the case of foggy weather, such as we have recently experienced, when, even if the ships were delayed on any ROBERTS'ETTER i1I EATS Sensational Speciais for Cash Prime Steer Beef Boiling Beef, per lb.......

SUCCKSTIDNS: Friday and Saturday, Feb.13 & 14 account, the passengers would sufl'er no very great inconveni- ence. If ever the problem of rail con- nect!on is to be established be- tween the Mainland and the North Shore, now is the best op- portunity that has ever offered itself, snd as Mr. Cates remarks"..... the North Shore would be definitel established as 'a railway and shipping centre, and be on the road to success and prosperity." Today, as regards communica- tion with the mainland, we are just about where we were twen- ty years ago, yet the days pass by but no steps ste taken to remedy the conditions now exist- ing, only 'talk'hich is useless. Surely this suggestion would not entail a very great outlay, nor would it be a very remark able feat, but the result would ensure better times for the North Shore and the surround- ing area in general. For railway communication, the foregoing applies, but the First Narrows Bridge, or Tun- nel, is absolutely necessary for us all as a means of rapid and safe access to the City; the resi- dents of the North Shore know this only too well, how, when at. tending any entertainment, etc., at night, the evening is entirely spoiled by 'having to catch the last ferry.'oreover, such an undertaking taken in hand with as little da- isy as possible, would alleviate, to a great extent, the unemploy- ment situation F.

As soon as a moderate amount of current is used at the first rate, the rate immediately drops to two cents a kilowatt hour. Fifty kilowatt hours more would cost only one dollar. Is there anything that is so good and so cheap? No one needs to skimp on electric service. 07 c a F aw BRITISH COLUMBIA ELECTRIC RAILWAY CO. LTD. %4%40OI(aaoa n CH%Woa-14-3~SWWI t8&%44h'H
