Sra yrrtw'O NEGOTIATE FOR ADDITIONAI FERRY Following representations to North Vancouver City Council Monday night relative to aug- menting the city ferry fleet to provide more adequate accom- modation during heavy trsific months, the council on Wednes- day afternoon conferred with G. D. Jukes of Boeing Aircraft of Canada Ltd. This concern offered to enter into an agreement with the city for construction of s new pas- senger and vehicle ferry which would be chartered to the city at a rate to be agreed upon, for a period of twenty-five months and at the expiration of that time, the vessel would automat- ically become the property of the city. This means that the vessel would be practically guaranteed by the builders for two years and the city would thereby be relieved of a large financial out- lay as well as interest and in- surance charges during that period. Boeing Aircraft proposed that the ferry should be 155 feet long 44 foot in breadth and prapelkd by 250-h.p. internal combustion engines to give a speed of 8'notsan hour. Passenger cat ac- ity would be 494 and there would be accommodation for forty-four vehicles.; The vessel auld be of woaderl Consttuc od t'v&flutd beq: mp Jteh hd ready for the trans-inlet service by July I, if the contract were entered into immediately.

CHORAL SOCIETY TAKES PART IN TWILIGHT RECITAL Whether or no the atmo- sphere of the edtfice was re- sponsible for the excellenceof the performance of the soewty on the occasion of its first appear- ance at Christ Church Cathedral it is no exaggeration to say that the singers surpassed themselv- es in their contributions at the Twilight Recital last Saturday afternoon. The three numbers rendered by the choir namely, "Hail Glad. dening Light," by Martin, "Kyne," from the Mass in B liat, by Farmer, and the "Pil- grim's Chorus," by Wagner, each difl'ering entirely in their musical theme but at the same time conveying the highest in their particular type, rivetted the attention of the large audi- ence as the voices of the chor- isters rang through the spaci- ous cathedrsL Any choice made between the way each wss rendered would be purely a matter of individual taste, as from a musical stand- point each was perfectly pre- sented. Great credit must be given the organist, Mr. Frederick Chubb, F.R.C.O., for his wonder- ful support in handling the or- gan accompaniments, which was ; appreciated by all sections of the tvyt& ayayyl, uttmutsted Jjeei» base ort, while the exachng dts- ciphne of Mr- Haydn Young, the conductor, completed the expec- tations of the appreciative aud- ience. The outstanding contribution of the choir was the "Kyrie," performed for the first time at i9&ose recitals& the supportigtg soloists being Mrtz Colin Mac- Lean, Mrs J. C. Young and kir. J. G. Fiddes, who maintained the reputation of the choir in a very praiseworthy manner. Realizing its ability, the choir hss been asked to agam assist tomorrow afternoon in the 179th Recital and it is expected that many will be crossing the inlet to not only hear the splendid program of music arranged by Mr. Chubb but also to hear sel- ections from the "Creation," and "hiessiah," to be performed by the cathedral choir assisted by the West Vancouver Choral So- ciety. These recitals casnrnynce at 4:15 snd amongst other contri- butions on the organ wdl be heard Fague on "Ad Nos" by Liszt and variations and Finale on "Hanover" a beautiful com- position of Lemare, both of which we know will be carried out by Mr. Chubb to the entire satisfaction of the most exact- ing critic.
