T H U R S D A Y , J A N U A R Y 21st, 1937 No. 42 u wiiH ii very satisfactory accounting for the yeiir i936 wfijoh the lleevb and Council were enabled to make last week at the Stewardship Meeting. The dc]depression, although giving signs ol' inovihg away, was with us throughout the whole of the past year, and to haVe made the showing they did reveals vuiy clearly.their municipal experience and business ability. Fur some years back it has been the custom -of many •' boll) williin and without the municipality to place the'credit for Wdst Vancouver's solyen6y at the door of the;.British I'.-ici/lo Properties. One often hears it said, especially in the, cily, lhat, had it hot been for their phrchase of our upper ' , level-lands, we should.have been like so many othgr municipalr,., itics in the-province,-- ..bankrupt.- No sane and fair minded- * man would deny that, the deal waS'a Godsend to West Van- or refuse, to readily admit the company's generous and ' • open handed treatm ent of the municipality,' They have "played the game" throughout in true,.British" fashion and, will im- , ,(ioul)todly.continue to do so in.the future. But the fact remains- that the jina l payment on the dehl - '\VjTs~nnide"'in'^1934",~'and"'^ill' West" "Vancbtive,r"is solvent/ca meet all, her obligations, reduce a bank overdraft by ^5,000, ' • all ^vithout increasing taxes, and have-something 'to carry forward to this year. . . . ^ I ' - ̂ The true'explanation lies in the fact/that Wesf Vancouver has and always has had successful business, ni'eirfo.r .her r,eeve,s .. and councillors. And success in.business as everybody knows, is won by foresigh]t,..fair, dealing, and the ability to cut one's .. suit according,to the cloth, available..JFor instance, it was the* foresight of previous reeves and councils- in refusing to sell cur •. upper level lands piecemeal which placed the reeve and council then in office in a position-, to sell when the long hoped, foi ̂ opptfi'tunity offered, ^as_ it ^was the business _ability_ oFThe ZlalieiuvHi6ff7Qrbwued~tEiirw.QrJLbf^ ^ F h aF v O iicF ^ u fs^ o s t municipalities in .the red is the p r o n f f - .
