This depart- ment of the work bas proved a very great blessing to the needy and such a familiar figure has the convener, Miss Almas, be- come on Marine Drive with her parcels of boots, that a small boy surprised her recently with the remark "are you still packing boots around?" The approximate number of articles distributed in December included 403 parcels of clothing; 67 pairs of rubbers and shoes; 31 parcels of food; 1 stove; 8 sacks of coal; 8 cords of wood; 5 sacks of material for making quilts; and 7 sacks of clothing to the Indian Reserve. These figures are given ap- proximately, as it is difficult in confidential work of this kind to be correct to one article, but if the numbers err at all it is on the side of underestimation. The report of all activities in connection with Christmas Cheer is nearly ready and will be issued shortly. Date Fixed for Concert The date for the entertain- ment being given in aid of local Welfare Work by the Concert Party of the Ex-29th Batt., C.E. F., has now been arranged for February 10, in the Orange Hall at 8 p.m. It is hoped that all who can will immediately jot this down in their diaries, in order that a full house may re- pay them for their splendid of- fering for IVetfare IVork. Thanks! First of all to Reeve Leylsnd, who in his report at the recent Stewardship meeting, referred to the Welfare Association as second in importance to the Council, and its greatest ally during these dift'icult times. To the donor of the floor- covering asked for last week. A little something warm is very cheery under the feet these cold days. To the donor of the shoes for the boy for whom headquarters had nothing that would fit. As all shoes donated are used ones and no tvvo people wear their shoes in exactly the same wsy, it is remarkabk that so many (Continued on Page 6) R. B, Anthony applied to the council re dangerous trees D.L. 557-9-7. The matter was left for the engineer to deal with uniler the usual regulations. The matter of firearms was referred to the chairman of the parks and the chief of police. FIRST BIG 1933 DANCE The first big dance of the year will take place in the Orange Hall on Friday, 27th January. The music will be supplied by the Delaire Rhythm Boys, who sre well and favorably known, snd there will be dancing from 9 to 1. Admission 35 cents. Thursday, January 19, 1933. TO THE bIE5IBERS OF THE 1933 COUNCIL: Genttemen:-- It is a very great pleasure for me to welcome to this Council, those Members who have been returned to Oil'ice through the expressed conhdence of the electorate, and there is no doubt that all Members of the Council will continue to work with the same harmony and cooperation during 1933 as has existed in the past. In view of the times through which we are passing, and because of the exceptional impossibility of estimating our revenues, it is difficult to suggest a very definite program for the year, though certain very necessary projects should be undertaken if the money is available. In view of the increasing cost of social services, the pos- sibility of further reductions in government grants, snd the cost of unemployment, the greatest economy must be exer- cised if we are to avoid increase in taxation, and if we are to balance our budget. May I suggest that the Capital and Maintenance expenditures in revenue producing departments be curtailed as much as possible, in order that tax-payers may receive as much benefit as possible from these revenues. In the matter of Public Works, the most urgent neces- sity exists in attending to some of the drainage systems of the 5Iunicipality. The situation at 14th Street and in the Cannery area is particularly serious, and there are others of almost equal importance.Doubtless, as far as possible, further improvements to Ambleside Beach will be continued, and it will be necessary for an amount of dredging to be carried out at the Ambleside Wharf. Our efforts should be continued in the matter of Lighthouse Park being placed under the jurisdiction of the Vancouver Parks Board, as well as to protect the areas on Hollyburn Ridge from fire hazard and contamination of water supplies. Work under the )Voter By-law having been completed, as well as much more than was originally contemplated in the By-law, every ett'ort should be made to conserve the financial resources to cover the millage and to maintain the older sec- tions in good condition. Negotiations should be continued with a view to further reduction of electric light costs to the same basis as those ln the neighboring Municipalities. The Chairmen of the ditt'erent Departments have given splendid satisfaction, and it is a pleasure for me to request 4 them to assume charge of the same Committees as previously:FINANCE: Councillors W, Dickinson, R. Fiddes, and Reeve. WATER AND FIRE: Councillor L. Garthorne and Council. BOARD OF WORKS AND LIGHT: Councillor R. Fiddes and Council. TRANSPORTATION AND PARKS: Councillor G. D. Elgsr and Council. PUBLICITY: Reeve and Council. Respectfully submitted, J. B. I.FYLAND, Reeve. WEST VANCOUVER CHORAL SOCIETY The )Vest Vancouver Choral Society is busily engaged in re- hearsal of "Sullivan's Golden Iwgend," and other choral num- bers oi equal merit, in order that the high standard of vnusie in the Municipality may be maintained Works of this nature call for a deeper study, and a more con- centrated effort than programs of a lighter and more familiar nature, but the knowledge gain- ed more than compensates the choristers for the time spent in mastering the work. All former members and qual- ified singers anxious to further the cause of good music in the Municipality are cordially invit- ed to practice promptly and reg- ularly at the Legion Hall, each 51onday night at 8:15 p.m. WEST VAN.

His request was referred to tbe engineer for investigation and report. Richard Ford appeared before the council in reference to dang- erous trees immediate+ west of his property. The matter was referred to the engineer with power to act under the usual arrangements covering such cases. The matter of the increased rate for water supplied during'932 by the Greater Vancouver Water District was referred by the council to the engineer for hm attention. A. A. Clarke wrote the coun- cil re claim of 33.00 for damage to house, 3056 Procter Avenue. The daim was ordered paul without prejudice. E. Granger wrote the council regarding lane adjacent to Lot 12, Block 12, D.I 776. Referred to the engineer with power to act. THE fsIUNICB'AL ELECTION As was very generally anticipated, the municipal election last Saturday resulted in the return of Reeve Leyland and Councillors Dickinson and Fiddes by very handsome major- ities. Short speeches were made by all the candidates follow- ing the announcement of the poll, the losers taking their defeat in a sportsmanlike manner. The election was somewhat remarkable for the absence of Vancouver voters. Apart from this, the results indicate that our residents were entirely satisfied with the work done by Reeve Leyland and the 1932 Council, and no postmortems are necessary. The particulars of the voting are as follows: Reeve lapland, J. B..... „.......... 802 Watt, J.
