Dear Sir:--In the report of the school board last week one reads like this: "Dr. Young, hIcdical Health Officer, foresaw malnutrition among our school children, so he ordered a nurse to be appointed. To a mother, it would seem more logical to have ordered milk and 8 wholesome meal served each day in school, to all such children, especially those living on reduced or relief wages. Adding another salary to an already strained budget is not fair to the taxpayer who is borrowing money at Sye to psy h18 taxes, and there are many such. It is hard on the nursing pro- fession who can not secure jobs after years of training,--but what about our husbands and brothersr The Health course given in our public schools is as good and tnorough as any. One refuses to believe that there are mr.ny Canadian mothers of the post- war period, who are not inform- ed of the daily need of their children, snd surely the British people living here are no less well informed. The school boards as well as the Health of- ficer will have to believe that cod liver oil and fresh milk would be better for our chiltlren, suffering from malnutrition, than any advice no matter how highly trained the source. Lct us be fair, cut out the frills snd think of the children. If our School Board hss the power to engage s nurse wiinout the taxpayers'onsent, then they have the power to provide for cases of malnutrition, surely. If we can alford s nurse, then the children of workless fathers should be given the medical at- tention the School Board sdvis- es, at the taxpayers'xpense, as well as dental work. Mothers, as s rule care little what they go without so long as their children are healthy. But there comes a dsy when old clothes and the wages of Relief will not suffice. A TAXPAYER. JONES PROIVIISES AID TO NORTH VANCOUVER Replying to a letter from hfsyor E. H. Bridgmsn relative to appointment of s commission- er for North Vancouver, Hon. J. IV. Jones informed City Council Monday night that he hss en- deavored to get in touch with certain of the bond holders snd hss asked them to give every opportunity for the city to re- habilitate itself. "I Can SSSure yOu,w declared hfr. Jones, "that the government will do everything it can to help you out in connection with any payment that msy be overdue." The minister said he hsd noted the efforts being made to stave ofi appointment of s com- missioner for the city and inti- mated that he wss pleased to have the information conveyed to him by hfsyor Bridgmsn. He added he hsd discussed the situ- ation with the deputy minister snd said that he would attend to any pressing matter immedi- ately. On suggestion of Aid. H. C. Anderson, the council will com- municate with hfr. Jones asking "if the government is prepared to find money the council is un- able to find to psy bond inter- est." In connection with the same matter, Attorney-General R. H. Pooley stated that a letter ad- dressed to Premier S. F. Tolmie had been handed to him. He said he would be pleased to keep the suggestion of Mayor Bridg- man in mind. Coal Cpal ED. BLACK w~t es Office and Yard, 2513 Marine Drive.

A Request l So many people who formerly used electricity are now using their wood snd coal stoves for cooking, which makes it a little more difi'icult to find a cook stove not working, but if there is one in the Municipality, the Welfare Association would ap- preciate it for a family. A wash boiler is another need of the moment, in the household line, also s few kitchen utensibn In the food line, a donation of butter from time to time would be gratefully received. This seldom comes in with the week- ly donations and is one which is very usefuL Added to the staples butter snd 8 little meat make a nice change. 1 Store at Hollyburny next Theatre PHONE WEST 3 LU BER'nd all Building Materinl of Best finality st Ieow Prices.

I'hone West 3631e 15th and Marine "Right Service -- Right Grades" CITY REVENUE I.OST TO GOVERNMFNTS Nearly 3100,000 is being lost annually in taxes by the city snd district of North Vancouver as s result of lands held by the provincial snd federal govern- ments being exempt from taxa- tion. This was disclosed at s meeting of the executive of th« Board of Trade at St. Alice Hotel Thursday night. As s result of the discussion, the matter will be debated fully by the board on January 19, when some recommendation may be made with 8 view to giving the two municipalities the bene- fit of revenue to which many rstepsyers think they are en- titled. It wss explained that the city, for instance, loses 360,000 annu- ally on the mile and a half wst erfrontsge held by the Harbor Board. It wss stated that this property hsd been exempt from taxation for five years, which means the city hss lost 3300,000 in taxes--more than sujficient to psy the present bank over- drsft. On the three Indian reserva- tions in the district, it is esti- mated 321,900 is lost in taxes annually. Provincial Government holdings account for the loss of 310,600 annually snd the district it is said, also loses about 33600 each year in taxes on Blair Rifie Range. In this total sre not in eluded taxes that might be levi- ed on the Indian reservation ad- joining the City of North Van- couver. It wss also stated that improvements of the Water Board, which should be liable for taxation, are not included. The question of insurance rates in the city was also dis- cussed and this will also be dealt with later. Mercenary Mary, the many times divorced film star, wss re- entering the marital state. She decided to mention the fact to her director. "Of course you will understand that this time I am marrying for love snd nothing else," she ssM. "How romantic!" replied the director knowingly. "So st last you have decided to go ojf the gold standard." The board of school trustees wrote the council regarding dangerous trees on the grounds of Pauline Johnson School.
