N o. 16 FIRST NARROWS RRIOGR CARNIVAL OPENINCf REGATTA DAY DANCE UNEMPLOYED PICNIC Many rumors have been going the rounds concerning the First Narrows Bridge ever since the project came up before the special cabinet committee appointd to investigate and report on it. Some are obviously just talk, ^ hfle others are said to have originated with those who are said to be in a oosition to know just what, the committee recommended and what the decision of the cabinet on the matter is to be. It has been stated that the bridge will be accepted as proposed, that a length of 1600 feet, 1700 feet of .1800. feet will be de manded, and by a very few, obviously its opponents, that it wont be built at all or not until this generation are in' their The official welcome to Mrs. Dorothy Steevee, M.L.A., and r. ® ew <^ P^y „ I'cmorrow West Vancouver the oneninjr of * the West Van- Ĵ ^̂ nce next Saturday evening, Unemployed, their families and couver C.G.P. headiiuarters at wjU visit EaBle Harbor 1780 Marine Drive will take Pavilion, the interior of whieh for a day's outing.

The plain facts of the case are that th e , ddlibemtions of the cabinet committee and of the cabinet oh this or any other subject are of n^pcessity kept absolutely secret until officially made public. Therefore .any rumors so far heard about the bridge are just'gUess work founded 6if*^oihebody's impressions in Ottawa or elsewhere. Personally, we should be very suiprised if the project was turned down, though we think it probable that the cabinet will require some change in the original plans. That, of course, is just pur guess, but it is just as good as that of anybody, else in a situation, where all is guesswork. - ' features the chief of which 'mil be two performances daily of the Strolling Puppet Players.
