Shepherd to the North Vancouver City Council on Mon- day night. Of that sum, the city has contributed 345,519 and 338,619 came from the govern- ment. Sundry jobs necessitated expenditure of an additional 37000. By by-law, city ratepsyers provided 350,000 for unemploy- ment relief work, but more than 54,000 has been expended with the result that the fund is ap- proximately 35000 over-expend- ed The only source of revenue to make up the deficit is board of works funda. The clerk was instructed to write to the government explain- ing in detail how the money has been expended and the request will be made that the grant from that source be increased. So far the city'0 share has been 36,900 more than that of the government.

He builds up a new energy to take with him into the world of every- day business. Home is the place in which you can be completely yourself; the place where your creative in- stincts through arrangement of living quarters and laying out of gardens have opportunity for unhampered exercise. In it les- sons are taught which we are not so likely to learn elsewhere-- unselflshness, thriftness, self- discipline, neighborliness. There is much to be said for the philosophy expressed years ago by Abraham Cowley in his poem, 'The Wish,"... Ere I descend to the grave, May I a small house and 0 large garden have; And a few friends, and many books, both true, Both wise, and both delightful, too.u In readin'g the June issue of the Western Electric News, the employees'agazine of the 1Ves- tern Electric Company, which is- sue is pretty much a garden one, we were particularly taken with a short article entitled "Roots." Many of our readers will no doubt be interested in it, so we are taking the liberty of quoting it in the column. ROOTS The desire for a home, s place in which to strike one's roots, is well nigh universal. Even the batchelor girl, who has decided that marriage is not necessarily the most important thing in life, has nevertheless an intense love of a home of her own. You find her when she is sufficiently well established in her profession de- parting from the perfect but im- personal comfort of hotel or club to establish an apartment of her own. No matter how emancipat- ed she becomes, the wish to ext ercise without restraint her tal- ent as an interior decorator, her skin ss a creator of poetic pop- overs, clings to her. She must have a litlte place of her own before her satisfaction with )ife can approach completness. Equally strong is msn's in- stinct for a home of his own. Stemming from an original need for physical protection, it has developed into a place where the battered ego may be fed and comforted. From the grass and flowers and shrubs and trees on his little plot of the good earth, growing things over which he has worked and which he has come to love,a man draws strength to help him carry on his work. Relaxing in the comfort of his easy chair, making friend- ly contact with brilliant minds through his favorite books, re- spected by sn a!feet!enate family --the soul of man expands. He GREAT PROCRESS MADE IN ILLUMINATION OF B C CITIES Marked improvement in the intensities of street lighting in Western Canadian cities is point. ed out by officials of the light and power department of the B. C. Electric Railway Co. They predict that where intensities ranging from 50 to 125 lumens per foot prevail at present, the near future will show an increase to an intensity double this in value. The lumen is the unit of light quality and is the illumin- ation given by one candle power at a distance of one foot, Recent installations of com- bined trolley and ornamental lighting brackets on the streets of several British Columbia cities are splendid examples of this combination, providing improved apearance to the street, at the same time being responsible for the removal of unsightly wooden poles. A recent installation in Vancouver of 40 fluted trolley poles 30 feet in length, with single lighting bracket using 1000 candle power lamps has created very favorable comment, the local experts say, and marks the commencement of an exten- sive program. A trial installation of a double bracket type using two 1500 candle power lamps has been made with the view of installing them on one of the main high- ways leading into Vancouver. It is expected that this will extend for some miles. During the past year some 210 new ornamental units have been set up in the residential section of Vancouver. Ornamental lighting until rec- ently wss looked upon as suit- able for large cities, but it is worthy of notice that this type of lighting has now extended to the smaller towns, some three hundred standards having been introduced in seven small towns in British Columbia, snd using 6000 lumen lamps on 20 amperes series circuits. All street light- ing installations of the past year in British Columbia were of the 20 amperes series type. This in- dicates a full appreciation of the safety factor of the reduced volt- age.

"The official to whom I was bleating in my amazing jargon," the Archdeacon said afterwards, "wearily called up a loafing man standing by, a fierce looking man with black waxed moustache, ear-rings, a green slouch hat and baggy velveteen trousers, and, pointing to him, said to me something like, 'nl paris Inglese,'hich my bright intelligence perceived at once meant, 'He speaks English.'ur friend strol- led up and joined our happy party.

Residents in D. L. 553 in the district are experienc1ng a water shortage, reported members of the district council, and it was suggested that the city install a six-inch main on Sutherland Avenue from Fourteenth to Sev- enteenth Street to augment the supply. Engineer G. S. Hanes stated that this would cost 32226 but the district council claimed that its finances will not permit this expenditure. I Mr. Hanes further reported that if district ratepayers were paying for water provided from city mains at the same rate as charged city ratepayers, the dis- trict would pay the city annually 312,000 for water instead of 33200 that has been paid for some years. It was stated that the propos- ed Sutherland Avenue main would supply 170 distribt homes but would not affect any city homes and, although city offici- als were disposed to assist the district in augmenting its sup- ply they did not consider it should cost the city anything to do it.. The city has agreed to consid- er any other proposal the district msy advance to relieve the situ- ation. Reeve W. H. Woods consider- ed that if the city were to join with the district in entering the Greater Vancouver Water Dis- trict, a solution to the problem would be found. "That is one thing revisien of existing agreements msy lead to," said Aid. Alfred Huggett.
