THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 4th,. 1937 ■'No. 44- A BOARD OF TRADE With the immediate construction of the F irst Narrows JJridge now assured the time would seem' to be ripe for the rcHiirrecting of the W est Vancouver Board of Trade. This latter body came into being a number of years ago when the • first controversy over, a F irs t Narrows Bridge 'arose, and fol­ lowing the' defeat of the proposals then put forth gradually languished and died. ̂During the few years of its existence it did some useful work particularly in the m atter of the i , bridge, it being the organization primarily responsible for the campaign ' in favor of access to the bridge being allowed through Stanley Farl^ j^hen a plebiscite Was taken on that,. ■ (uiestiph in.A^anCouver.

It has certain powers of its own .under the law, and in addition . „ to helping the council with a body of solid, opinion in m atters of public welfare," can -be very useful in -many^ ways, particu­ larly in community efforts. ■ Now th a t spring is ^af>proachihg and thfe stage, seems set for a busy summer in.
