Yet to say "dreams" alone is not saying all, for tliose who are content just to dream seldom see such children of the brain materialize. Very many of us in West Vancouver have striven for years to have the F irst .Narrows bridged, nil.I have received yeoman assistance from others in Vancour, "~\'or 'and elsewhei^e whose eftorts'iriFoiily YigHflHa^^^ should mo.st thankfully acknowledge today. And th a t assistance was v e r y badly needed indeed, as we ourselves know who fought editorially for the bridge through two campaigns, one of our editorials being reproduced in the Vancouver, press a t the end of the second which was successful; From the first opposition..... of the strongest was brought to {Bear against the project, an. . opposition also which never at any time desisted from trying to defeat our desires. Even after the actual construction of' - the bridge had .been started there were rumors about th a t it ■ would never be finished, ' . Today its tw in towers reach up into the sky, as traffic pours over its roadway. And. while the chief credit must be given to Reeve Leyland and the Council responsible for mak­ ing the deal with the British financiers which made the bridge an actuality, we m ust not forget the work of past Reeves and , Councils, some of them piassed away, whose foresight in re­ fusing to sell our municipal lands piecemeal made the deal P'Ovssible. Would it b e . saying too much, .if t one stated that these elder brethren were also present in unseen form a t the bridge on Saturday and Monday?' We think not. The' opening of the bridge was another milestone in the progress of W est Vancouver,,yet not an ordinary milestone, . because it stood a t a crossroads. " Over the week end West, Vancouver took the highway, which- leads to prosperity. Of that there can be no doubt whatsoever. ' There will be di*fficulties to be faced, of course, some of them possibly harder of solution than any in the past with the exceptioh'-of-thei)ridger^But"then" iHcreaseTn"power-and- WEST VANCOUVER L.
