'r SANTA CLAUS FUND CONCERT The Combined Choirs of West Vancouver under the able con- ductorship of Mr. J. Haydn Young, CA., gave a very credit. able accaunt of themselves on Sunday evening last at the Hol- lyburn Theatre, ln aid of the Xmas Cheer Fund. In the sing- ing of the btezsiah Choruses, one felt a deep reverential tonal etfect that brought into beingthe true spirit of tbe greatmaster's work. Miss Hattie Young in her readings. held the audience and with simplicity and charm gave us all food for thought during this Festive Sea- son. The solos of Mrs. F. F. Lotegrove were rendered with such appeal, that one feels thathere'was a light that had been hidden under a bushel tao long, and I trust we shall have the pleasure of hearing her again. In contrast to tbe v gram the String-E whom the West music lovers are v thrilled the audience contrasted numbers. couver's Male Quartet a fine blending numbers, but were pa pleasing in "Steal negro spir.'tideL: . M Hodgson an artist of autstand ing ability both as soloist and conductor ot the DundaraveLaches'hoir, agam stood out as a solcsst, and specud men- tion must be made of her splen- did interpretation of "Abide with me." It was, without doubt an excellent perfonnance, and the pity of it all h, that the theatre was not crowded to the doors. Miss Margaret McIntyre and Mrs. J. E. Durbin were the very capable accampanists for the evening. and with the in- novation of Carol Singing by the combined choirs and the audience a most enjoyable con- cert was given by aiI West Van-, couver talent. --ACEY.

STOCKTON GIVES ADDRESS ON FIILST NARROIV'8 BRIDGE R. P. Stockton, the lawyer for the First Narrows Bridge Comp- any, kindly accepted an invita- tion of the West Vancouver Branch ot the Canadian Legion to give an address on the bridge last Tuesday evening in the Legion Hall . Mr. Anderson, the manager of the company also intended to be present, but was unfortunately unable to come. Vice-President H. E. bValker was in the chair, and the hall was crowded, the meeting having been thrown open to the public.- Reeve Leyland at the request of'he chairman, introduced the speaker. Mr. Stackton gave a most int- eresting address, in which he briefly reviewed the negotiations etc., leading up to the taking of the recent plebiscite. He stated that in the matter of a toll bridge the permission of the parties owning the land hsd to be obtained, snd in the case in point the bridge approaches on the north Shore ran from Mar- ine Drive through the Indian reserve over the P.G.E. and on throught the provincial reserve, while on the south shore'here were agmri severil parties to be considered. By the end of the year he expected to have all local matters settled including the consent of Vancouver and the three North Shore munici- palities, when they would im- mediately take up the bridge question with Ottawa. Their agreement compelled them to start construction within six months of Ottawa's approving the bridge and to finish the con- struction of same within thirty months. He explained the road system through Stanley Park,'hich due to the hard bargain driven by the city, would cost 8400,000 instead of the 6226,000 they had originally figured on. The tolls were limited entirely by provincial statute. By the agreement no Asiatics would be employed on the work, local labor, meaning residents of Vancouver and the North Shore, would be used as far as pos- sible, also materials would be purchased locally whenever pos- sible, and there was a fair wage clause, The bridge was wide enough to handle a population of 2,000,000, as with only two lanes 26,000,000 cars could pass over it in a'year. Manhattan Bridge, the busiest in New York, as recently found in a U.S. overnment survey to have only taken 22.000,000 cars in a year. They woold use every effort and had used every eifort to expe- dite the construction of the bridge. A hearty vote of thanks pro- posed by W. W..Rutledge and seconded by Comrade Lowes was accordtdd the speaker, who later answered questions from the floor an invited his audience to view the plass of the bridge and roadway hc'ad firought with him. cb utd
