' Paragraph two stated that the estimates of profit are based on important errors whereby, the Council had not provided $2,000 for the interest charges on $40,-> 000. The Municipal auditor has whether coming to relatives or wil]i"be more nol, must be regietored before e t rT o f arrival with the Provincial Child a ls" t h ^ i n ^ t rges will be reduced every year as the. debenture of the :$40,00Oi-will--be_^paidJ)y^ye^ installments qver a period of seven yearsv .

In 1939 the public endor^d the plebiscite giving the munioi- pailty permission to extend i the bus service to tlu* City, and we cannot give' a proper service that is a credit to the municipal­ ity and of praclcial use without suitable equipment. 4. The 1939 and 1940 Councils have been battling with the Pub­ lic Utilities Commission to ob­ tain a franchise, and while, over many months, they were engag­ in g in lengthy arguments oii ..be­ half of the taxpayers' rights, not one word was lieard from any citissen in oppo.sition to their action. Every evidence th a t , the, public' supported their con­ tention. 5. Having finally obtained per­ mission, the Council having as­ sured the Commission that West Vancouver was solidly behind municipal ownership and control and th a t this would undoubted­ ly be proven by the passing of a Bus By-law, surely it is now up to us to "make good." Any other course will have a most unfavor­ able,reaction in view of the pub­ licity th a t haj3 been given to this problem. • 6.
