FAT _*_T 9 ' ®k ixrwaa VOLUME 9 NORTH VAiNCOUVER, B. C., FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1910. NUMBER 22 Meeting Discusses Bridge Question At thc call ol Mayor Taylor, of Vancouver, a meeting ol great iinportance to the new project oi building Second Narrows bridge under the control ol the city and district municipalities situated on and ubout Hurrard Inlet, was held at the city hall, Vancouver, on Tuesday. That the meeting meant business was evidenced by the wording of the resolution that was linally adopled, w^hidi was as follows: "Thut the municipalities represented here this alternoon, hereby endorse the advisubilit- ol sending a strong delegation to OttSWS in the interests ol the muiiicipulilies and the public, to secure that which will be beiieiiii.il lo all the municipalities which have signed the petition to the government at Ottawa; as we consider it is much preferable to have public utilities, in the shape oi intercom- munication, in the hands ol these public bodies, rattier than have them in the hands ol private interests." There were present at tlu meeting, dub-gates from the cities ol Vancouver and Norlh Vancouver, Irom the districts of North Vancouver, Point Gn-\ and Hurnaby, also Messrs .las. C. Keith, Ba Mahon, Lambert Hond and li, Oilman, representing the Hurrard Intel I iiniiel and Bridge Company. Mr. A. lv Woods, managing director ol the V. W. & V. Railway Co. was also in atHida-i'v Mayor Taylor was appointed to the chair, and in bnel remarks explained that UW unci ing had lieen calkd 'g set il some steps umlil not be t.i'.aii to expedite the building ii Second Narrows bridge by 11 ai .is ol an agreement l«el.te... th.. several municipalities rr pi court* ed. They were all agreed th.u the bridge would lie ol gi>al bent-lit to Norih Vancouver ..mi of even greater benefit to Van couver. Krevi> Mi Naughl reviewed the history ol the Second Narrows bridge project. A charter for the construction of the bridgi had for years been in lhe hands of the V. W. & V. Kailway Co., but nothing had ken done. He himself had pressul llial unu- pany to lake active steps, without avail, until he ll.nl at last sought other means ol securing the bridge, lt li.nl la-en found thut the charier of lhe Hurrard Tunnel and Bridge Coinpanv, granted eighteen years ago,was still intact, uud il had accordingly been acquired. The Provincial I'.overniiinii hud bests consulted ami s tubs!- dy of $250,000 hud been promised Irom thut source ou condition thut the bridge wus toll- trollt-d by the municipalities interested, ulso ihat all railways sliould have running privileges over it oil llie same basis, ami that it was to Ih- free lor pules- triau and veluuilar trallic. The respsctive municipalities were then appi'ti.u lied and a tentative agreement had lieen ar- rivinl at for raising sscassary binds by co-operation. Tlic\ likewise hud good reason lo ue- lirvii that substantial assist am c woultl Ik.- forthcoming Irolll the Dominion Government. If .he extended powers sought .i -re granted and iln dominion sub- Mil \ uas secured, il was hoped that work nn llie bridge woultl be started in a few tiionllis „'.d that it would lie completed in about iK Months. The estim ateil cost of the bridge eras Jl,- 11011,1100, alld already eastern Capitalists had been seeking llie privilege ol providing any a- molint up to the total cost ol the structure. The Provincial government .lad promised S250, 000, the distriit oi North Vancouver would provide f 100,(1 m, or probably |soo,ooo il Secss- sarv. It was hoped that tin* citv ol Vancouver would lotttri- l-ntu $50,000 and that the Dominion subsidv, votes from the other municipalities and private subscriptions would eoinplcti the required ulilount. A. B. Woods, general manage! ol the V. W. & Y. Kailway Co., observed thut his position was somewhat peculiar, as the com pany represented bv Nine .Mi Naughl was sec-king In acquire privileges now owned bv his company, ll was a mistake to suppose thai the V. \\. \ \ Ry. was oppoaed to the constriction ol a bridge across the Second Nurrows on a co-operative basis. Ills company wen large properly owners on the north short and strongly desired the railway connection. His COtttpany hud always expressed themselves as desiring to work with the municipalities to secure not only a railway bridge, bul u bridge for pedestrian und vehicular trallic. A railwa) bridge by itsell would be a mis- tttke. His coinpanv had a sul>- sidy ol 1)00,000 Irom the Dominion Government and it was desirable lhat that subsidy be made available. In order to do thus it was necessary that tin bridge should be built by the V. W. tk V. Kuilwuy Company. His compauy hud ollered to turn the bridge over to a holding company, in which the mu nicipalilies would be represent ed. The railway, however, would have to control the bridge in order lo make good thc claim on the Dominion grant. Ills railwa) had been In large expense in the mutter ol plans, soundings, surveys, und they could start operations ivilliin one month. Their plans had been approved by the Ottawa authorities. lu reply to an inquiry Irom Keeve McNaught us lo liow long his company had been planum, to build the bridge, Mi Woods was not prepared to slate the ex.ut dates. The delay had been caused ill the Inst itistuilu in the ellori to make linancial arrangements, and later bv tin ellort to sei ure an .inaiigeiiu-nt willi tho municipalities. Lambert Hond asked il there wus anything iu the rumor thai lhe charier ol lhe V. W. I \ had been ollered lo other colli panics. Mr. Woods staled that during later vears the V. W. I Y. had been approached by oihei railway companies with a view to co-operating lo build tin bridge, bill williout result .un nothing was now pending Keeve Howsei "I l'liinl (ircv, and Councillor Hill ol Burnaby, declared their hearty colieur- reiue in anv scliciiic that would scenic the early building ol tin bridge, but were unable tu state just whal assist ance their municipalities would give. Mavor May declared thai the point hud Ik'111 reached w In i a patience ceased to be a virtue, and when it was absolutely in ccssary thai the bridge should be built, lie lully endorsed the idea ol lo-opcralloli to build I bridge under joint municipal uml ml. They were already ou tire rond to sun ess lv liiini,in was oi opinion that sliould the Dominion Uov- erniiiciit luii to make the grant, the property owners nl North Vancouver would raise ,m .1 mount up to I300.000 of fafoo, ooo among themselves, lie hun self was prepared to buy shares lo llu- amount ol Mumi, mid there wen- others wlm Would subecribe much larger sinus. Jus. C, Kiitli declared lhat the railway hud been talking for years bill duing nothing, li it did not have the backing, il should let the new culilp.uiv step ill and do the wo.k. It ii .is unlair lo North Yantiniui thai its entire waterfront should be lied up, because of plans that might or might not be worked out.

The remarkable activity in Hou- levard lots was the striking feature of lhe, market lule lasl week. This property is now re- solling ut advanced prices. Tin present week has developed very strong demand lor business property, many translers having been made, so ihal the greatest difficulty is now being experienced iu listing this duss of realty.

Acreage is in demand, the rapid advance ol West Capilano realty being particularly noticeable. Lynn V alley holdings are very reticent as 10 transler and arc very popular with buyers. The Nortli hhoie is at present the Mecca ol the real estate situation and gives promise ol remaining such for an extended period. CANADA'S POPULATION The third census ol all Canada since lotilederaiion, will be taken next vear, and every indication points lo results whuh exceed the most optimistic expectations. The census department ol the iederal government has recently made an estimate Ml the population of the Dominion al the piesc-nt time, wlinli places llic lotal at 7,350,000. The actual count at ihe ctu- siis ol I40I was 3,371,315. I poll ilus basis an additional gain 01 al-out 12,000 during the interim between the present and the date oi the approaching census, will give an increase ol 2,000,- 000 inhabitants during the last di 1.ule, or over 37 per Vein. Not only is this many ttmc-s greater than any percentage ol grow tli experienced in any previous decade, but it is almost equal on the percentage basis to the combined increase of the three decades Irolll 1S71 to lyoi In 1N71, the. year in which the lust census was taken, Canada contained a total population ol 3,hKV57- '■ [**[ die population had Increased to ^334,810, representing a growth ol his,- 553, »r approximately 11 M cent. A great portion ol this gain, however, was due to the lact that Hritish Columbia, Manitoba and Prince Edward Island wile incorporated in the confederation during that period, so that their population in- 1 ,ut was added to the previous total. At thc ceifsus ol i8yt, the total inhabitants of the Dominion reached 11833,339, •"' ''"* 1 h ase ul vs, \3tf, or about 12 I'H it-lit. Hclwifli I89I alld I9OI the total nureased to s,- 171,115 as already noted, being a grow th ol approximately 11 per cent. * It will therefore be sun that the aggregate increase between 1871 and iqou, three dic.ulis, was 1,682,038, or forty-live per unt on llie population al COB- federation.

FORESTRY COMMISSION REPORT Thc forestry commission has presented a report to the government,covering certain phases ol the timber interests oi the province. This report is authoritative as far as it goes,but is not exhaustive, inasmuch as there yet remain important features of the problem with reference lo which thc commissioners desire further time and information, in order lo arrive at definite informations. The report recommends that existing timber licenses lit made renewable as long as there is merchantable timber on the limit, bnt that these renewals should be made subject), to such conditions as will enable tho government to retain control ol all rentals, license lees, royalties, and likewise ol the regulations governing the cutting ol limber, so that any of these may be amended at any time to suit existing conditions. The report further ritoin mends that at any time when the land i.s requested for actual settlement purposes, thc holder of the license may lie required to remove the merchantable timber within a reasonable time!The It is recommended that the existing system ol lorest lire protection be continued and ex-' tended. The report foreshadows a recommendation favoring the appointment of a department of forestry, and likewise thc outlining ol a policy for the administration ol the timber resources ol the province which are not yet alienated.

The following original poem, Irish from thc pen ol William Beattie, bard ol the St. Andrew's and Caledonian tociety of Toronto, was sent with the compliment! of the author, to Mr. J. W. Balmain, of lliis iiiy, a friend of many years: JANUARY 25U1, 1910 Again Uie welcome natal nighl returns, Which etirv ilime wilh loyal gladness hails, The nations celebrate the birth ol Burns, Their greeting waft to Scotland's hills and vales. This ten hour tjen thousand festal boards Unite in |H.-ans, crowning king of song The hard who scattered from poetic hoards, lick treasures which the ages shall prolong. His u.ts the miiNe ol nature—chosen child; Interpreter of secrets hid from men; To whom revealed his wood-notes warbling wild, Deep thoughts lorth issuing from his living pen. N'o thing too small Do 'scape his ardent eye; Tin- gowati meeting him in evil hour, Tu sate thtlti now fof ever pasl his power. The mouse whose home and store ill ruin lie; And i'un the rough burr Ihistle in the field, His patriotii ardor stirs, and lain ls he the worthless, troublous weed lu shield; For Scotland's sake the iiiiMciii shall remain. His was the huart to feel—opprest with woe— For queen or peasant sullenng lot severe— The beauteous Mary—vii lim of her foe, I-'ur whose unhappy (ate he drops a tear. Thi' Birks o' Aberieldie yet are green, Where he wi' lassie spent the lee-long dav; The songs that glorified his bonnie Jean I'lrumial bloom like flowers in merry May. By winding Niths'sweet stream where oft he stiat'd 'To wait the eve or hail llu cheerful dawn,' Where thro' each dell or dew-licsprinkled glade He marked the timid hare ur gentle fawn. His was tin- grateful heart lur kindness sfliuwn, Helm ml™ ird well i.nh iimi In net nlciit, The ini'iistrtl lor Gleiii.iiin did sadlt moan, Aiid lor his patron's death with tiais lament. His M.itlnng satire rent the llimsv veil, That nil hvpoirist its shelter threw; With 111.nilt mighl all shams he did impale. I'riliiiilcrs holding up to public view His master hand struck cvtrv noli- that's found Within ihe gamut ol the human heart; And, plating on i.ith vibrant chord, he crowitvd Himself the monarch of the lyric art. He was our lonntrt's gltttest, grandest bard; l-nt whiih he lived and nrrotl each glowing line— The social song that all tin- world has heard— The universal anthem Anld Lang Svne. WM.
