Members ■of the 1934 Council: Gentlemen-- It is a personal pleasure for me to welcome you^here today, enhanced by. knowledge of the ' fact that the Council has receiv- -^ed-the~coniplete-confidence-and endbrsation^.nf-the Electorate NotwithstaniMng the difficult -times th rou ^ which we have passed. W est Yancouver has pro­ gressed rapidly during the last -few-yearsT-and-our-own progres- siveness will in itself bring with it many serious problems. These problems can be handled satis­ factorily by careful planning and far-sighted vision; on~the~ part of the Council, and it is cer- -uthin that if the same enthusi­ asm and co-operation, that has- existed in the past is_ continued^ in the future, we have reason to maintain our faith in the destiny of this Municipality as becom­ ing one of the most attractive residential areas in Canada. It is desirable to prepare the Budget as early as possible, though some delay may be ex­ perienced, owing to uncertainty as' tb -the extent to which the Provincial Government may be able to relieve Municipalities in respect to grants and the cost of Social Services. The Financ .̂, Committee will no doubt take conservative view in their esti­ mates. until such time as there is-definite assurani^ of a higher percentage of collections from different sources of revenue. A list of public works for the present year has already been submitted to the Council for their consideration, and as each item seems necessary to the sections of the Municipality con- cerned, an effort should be made for the completion of same be­ fore the. end of the year. Last year certain important drainage systems were much improved in the Eastern and Central sec­ tions of "fhT'IMuhicIpality, and" this year our attention might be directed to the Cypress Park, area,^ where many of our J^x- payers are suffering from flood eonditions. We have reasonable Arrangements for more. perm-, anent Transportation facilities to points beyond West Bay must receive our early attention. AYhile the Second Narrows Bridge has been out of . commis­ sion-, and during a^period of business depression, a private company has provided a modified . service at a financial -loss to themselves, and the Municipality --has been-unable-to-provide-funds-- ̂ for purchase o f such equipment ' as would be. necessary to supply ade^rate. service ;, especially-.is_ .th is , so- during the summer months when, in addition to a 't!

However, some arrange­ ments should be made for bath­ house facilities in order that the public may find reasonable com­ fort and convenience. Bonds a- mounting to $40,000.00 were re­ tired last year in connectiOn'with the Dundarave Wharf. This #!Wharf-is-a-decided-asset-to-the Community, and I would respect­ fully, urge that an endeavour be cmade for its repair,' as if neg­ lected much longer we shall 'be burdened with a structure that -is-useless-a-nd-an-eyesore-to^t-he district. .'.i Hi.
