When three new buses are in use present No. 2 and No. 3 buses to be reconditioned. These two plus the present upper levels bus plus the three new ones and an additional three to be financ- ed out of the major by-lsw will make a fleet of nine buses for the traffic. The figures in reference to these proposed alterations are complicated but can be seen at the municipal hall by those int- erested. This method of transportation it is claimed by Mr. Jackman, would be not only the shortest in distance, but also the quick- est between West Vancouver and Vancouver. The purchase of an- other boat of the double-ender type would make s further sav- ing of five minutes. WEST VAN.

The choir showed a decided ad- vance both in tone and shading over last year. The program was a weu chosen one of fine music and the audience showed a keen appreciation demanding encores for many of the numbers. Particularly pleasing was Handel's "Sly Mother Bids Me Bind isiy Hair." by the girls sec- tion and "See Our Oars with Feathered Spray" by the boys. The Senior Girls choruses were well sung; the tone and phrasing in particular being well handled. This group suifered in balance because of illness among its members but those able to be present did their loyal best to overcome the handicap and did some very delightful singing. The young artists gave great pleasure also to their hearers. Mrs. Colin MacLean and hire. Sheffield are to be congratulated on the good work of the choir.
