The work done by llioni materially alleviated our unem ploym ent troubles during tlui depth of the, depression. , T heir, development has made VVest Vancouver th e showplace o f'C anada and th e ta lk of the whole "continent of N o rth Am erica. They sunk huge sum s in this municipality a t a tim e.w hen it was impossible to persuade- ■ wiher capital, e ith e r B ritish o r Am erican, to invest any th ing in development w ork anyw here on th is side of th e A tlantic. They have always kep t th e ir given word, and. have ever been ready ,and willing to m ^ t th e m unicipality half way, so prov- --ingthem selves-to-be-w hat-they-are-in-aotuality ,-real-partners-- . A t,the present m om ent th e syndicate is spending $6,000,000 on the Lions Gate Bridge, to be officially opened in. th e spring of 1989,^and already W est Vancouver is -feeling-the effects of this construction work, com ing on top of th e upper level lands' development. New houses and new stores are being . buill. Many newa^esidents have even now come into W est V an­ couver, and they are b u t th e vanguard of th e influx who may. '"'be expected to se ttle here w hen th e bridge is opened. For all of th is , we can th an k th is B ritish syndicate.
