No. 52 THE FIRST NARROWS BRIDGE BUS TICKETS The announcement th a t work had been started on the road llirough Stanley Park was of peculiar interest to all those interested in seeing the F irst .Narrows bridged, since tha t road must first, be built in order tha t the heavy materials necessary l\9i' the actual bridge construction can be taken to Prospect' I'oint. ' " ' . According to press reports the long delay has been caused by the numb6r of legal technicalities which have , had to be overcome. This brings to one's attention the 'd rift of Canadian •law in this' direction over the. last twenty or th irty years. A.s wo see it-, and we say it with all respect, th is drift is not it) the country's good, nor is"it. to our benefit as Canadians to have ten legislative bodies, all efigaged in making laws and .Capt. Vince, manager of Muni­ cipal Transportation, advises tha t instructions hhve been given to withdraw the sale of bus tickets, at 17 for 50 cents. The strip tickets at 8 for 25 cents which have become so popular will remain.
