A Liter was read (rom the Wallace Shipyards, Ltd., informing the council that the company was willing to defray the necessary expenses in connection with the drafting and submitting of the proposed by-law, whereby the city, in the event of its passing, agrees to guarantee, the bonds ol •he company to the extent of $20,- ouo on its new issue of stock for the enlarging of its works here. Messrs. Walden and Fraser, plumbers, sent a joint letter to the council asking that a set of plumbing by-laws be drawn up giving protection to the rasident plumbers Oi this sid« ol the inlet. Mr. VVaiden was present and explained lo the council that steps to protect them in their work were necei&ary, as outside men camei in and did 1 cheip job which could not piss inspection, thus, depriving him and Mr. Fraser of work which ihey wore prepared to do right, and as Ihey were in business in the city, were prepared to back up their work. Mr. Fraser also agreed in what Mr. Walden had staled, and expressed the hope that the council would attend to their request. On behalf of the council ths mayor replied that the plumbing by-law was under way, snd when in •/!* ;ue would give them certain privileges over outsider!. Mr. W. L. Keene, lecretiry of the horticultural society, wrote asking the council to replace the lenceon their property on Twenty- first street, which was destroyed by contractors when clearing the street.

A roadway 46 feet in width will be cleared of stumps, roots and rubbisl, etc., by the company. Aid. Smith asked if the pound by-Is,v hid been printed yet. The cl:rk replied io the negative, so t 1 council gave orders lor the s 'nt to te printed forthwith.

The committee also recommended the purchase of three additional water meters. The recommendations were adopted. The newly appointed board of police commissioners, Aid. Crickmay and I. Walden, reported as follows: Gentlemen,—We wish to inform you that, having taken over the duties of board of commissioners of police and gone thoroughly into the matter of the police force at the present time, we have decided 011 placing Mr. Stewart on the regular force, also another constable. We do not think, considering the position which Mr. Brima- comtie holds, that it would be wise to retain him as constable and gaoler, as through his having so many other duties other than under the commission, conflict would be sure to arise. We, therefore, beg to inform you that wc have, so far as the commission is concerned, decided to dispense with his services. We have also hilly made arrangements with the chief, that as soon as the matter can be arranged, tl.e two constables should occupy tlie rooms up stairs, to act as wardens at night, and, if neces- si'<', in Ihe dav time. A'ould you, therefore, kindly make arrangements for Mr. Hrima- combe vacating the rooms mentioned is early as possible. The following sre supplementary estimates: Expenses lor equipment, etc.Jioo; for material' fencing yard in rear of ball, f jo; chief of police, salary, (90 per month; first constable, $75 per month; second constable, I6j per month. The plans of the new ferry wharf at Vancouver were laid be fore the council. Owing to the aldermen not having time enough to go thoroughly into the plans, they were laid over to the committee meeting Thursday night, when the principal changes which the city and ferry company are considering jointly, will be taken up- General grades by-law No. 26, for first street, from Lodsdale to the bridge, was given its third reading and passed. By-law No. 27, to establish general grades, from the north line of the Esplanade to the south side of Eigh '■ street on Lonsdale avesue, was given its final reading and passed. Aid.

The greatest amount of work will be between St. Andrew's antl St. David's avenues, where culling and filling will be required. The plans will come up at next Monday night's council meetiug. Evidently the names of Rev. Mr. Hooper, of St. John's Anglican church, and Mr. Jesse Williams were used through a niisunder- ing in connection wiih the mass meeting held last week against the so-called evils, bottle licenses anil boxing contests.

Those employing carpenters should bear in mind that there are men to be had on this side of the inlet, and that they should patronize the local builders. At present there are carpenters employed on the erection of buildings that do not own a foot of ground or spend a penny in North Vancouver, while several resident carpenters are looking for a job.

After some discussion on the matter, the application was referred to the to the hoard of works to report to council next meeting. A. Meissnest applied for permission to cut shingle bolts on the city properly on the southeast part of lot 35 in the valley. At first the council did not feel disposed to grant the request, but Mr. Narr, on behalf of the applicant, explained to the council the position they were in, and that if they were allowed to cut bolts it would give them an opportunity to make some money to meet some of their liabilities. On reconsideration the request was granted Mr. Meissnest. The city clerk wrote giving the names of those appointed by the council to the reception committee. From Dr. C J. Fagan, of Ihe anti-tuberculosis society, asking council make donation to the so* ciety and also appoint a delegate. The communication was referred to the finance committee.

The designs provided (er low truss riveted spans, with top chord of channel steel, thi same section being that principally used throughout in both struts and bracing. A light lattice railing runs Ihe whole length of the spans in the inside of the bridge. The timber, joisting and decking will be heavier than usual in order to bc equal to the strength of the steel trusses and lloor beams. The lim within which the bridge is to be erected complete is lour in nths from the acceptance ol the tender.

Periodically since that date the daily press published articles corroborating tho.se lust published b) lis, but dropping the word " Nortli" when they mentioned the objective point. Two weeks ago wi nave the lirst intimation ihat representatives uf one t*( these transcontinental companits were working in and around North Vancouver, mapping out a suitable site for terminal yard^ dockage, etc., and that tiny had found a convenient route to Burrard Inlet, via Ihe Indian river l'emberton- Fort George survey.

' This stitement fully coincides with those published in Tll Exiki-*. nearly two years ago, and also ol late, which justifies the presumption thai the Ambitious City is bound to harbor this terminal. It is well known that Prince Rupert will not for many yens and probably never-offer the ■hipping advantages that this in let is so justly famed, with its easy access from tbc sea, its unequalled anchorage and cuiiiiiu r- cial facilities.

BALMAIN CIVIL KNtalNKKII Quauli iy Surveyor and A chitect Kol'STii Si iii-ar, CoSliaa I/i*iin»i,« Avi NOUTH VANCOUVER. THE EXPRESS, NORTH VANCOUVER B. C. EGGS for HATCHING From the B. C. Poultryman Every year we get a greater or lesser number of inquiries as to how long eggs may safely be held (rom the time they are laid until set. How long eggs csn be kept (or hatching and how long they ought to be kept, are two different propositions. Other things being equal, the fresher the egg the stronger and better ihe chick. Whether or not it hurts an egg to hold it over (or two or three weeks, depends largely upon the egg. II it contains a strong germ, the damage may be little or none; but if the (jeiin be weak to start with, it certainly will deteriorate rapidly. We make it a point never to set eggs that have been held (or more than two weeks and always try our best to set them inside of a week after they have been laid. Eggs intended (or incubation should be gathered at least three times a day at this lime of ie.it unless Ihe day be unusually pleas ant for this season. This shojild be done in order to prevent chilling, a frequent cause of germs not developing at all, or, at the best, dying in a day o. two. Alter the eggs have been gathered, they should be placed in a room where the temperature is between 50 and 70 degrees at all times. The idea ol turning the eggs every day or so while they are being reserved for katching is one that seems to be pretty generally practiced among farm poultiy raisers, but therr is no reason for doing this and it is only labor. Sometimes we are inclined to think thst it is harmful as well as unnecessary, because we never turn our eggs until they are placed in thc incubator and we will not sidestep anyone when it comes to getting results from our eggs. Now is the time to do everything. Many people desire to have a flock of pure blood chickens but each year they delay in making a decision where and what to buy until the season is too far advanced, and then they say to themselves, " It's too late, I'll wait till next year and then I'll have some good stock sure." The next year it's the same thing over again, and so these good people drift along, never getting anywhere. Now is life not too short to waste in such a manner ? Wouldn't it be more sensible to go to work and do something or quit talking about it ? A setting ol eggs from some reliable breeder will produce enongh birds to lay the foundation for a pure blooded flock. Why not order a setting today —now ? You will find the advertisements ol reliable breeders right in this paper. Much ol the bowel trouble in little chicks is caused Irom chilling. Thc temperature in the brooder should not be below 90 degrees the first week, when it can be gradually reduced. The chicks themselves are a pretty good thermometer to go by. When they coddle it is a sign their quarters are not .warm enough. Keep it warm enough so they will scatter out in the brooder or under thc hover.

Tha bonds are redeemable in 25 years, at five per cent, interest. In return the company proposes to establish the whole of its plant in North Van couver, to install a marine rail way and a complete shipbuilding plant, giving employment to about one linn.Iicil men. It was intimated at the Young People's Club Tuesday night that Wm. Bums, Esq., principal of the Provincial Normal College, would submit a paper on " The Life and Works of Sir Charles Dickens," but, unhappily, through indisposition, Mr. Burns will not be able to appear. Uev. Mr. Gillam has consented to submit a paper on "Lord Tennyson," in place of Mr. Burns' next Tuesday night. Mr. Burns' lecture, will in all probability, be given on April 7th, the original date of Mr. Gillam's reading. The annual meeting of the Hastings Shingle Manufacturing Company was ol a very satisfactory order, and the outlook for the future of the industry is very favorable. Announcement was made of the completion ol the company's new No. 1 sawmill, lt will begin operations shortly with an initial capacity ol 100,000 leet per day. The following directots were re-elected: Messrs. A. C. Flummerfelt and D. M. Rogers, Victoria; Jas. McNair, Robert McNair, James Ramsay, A. B. Erskine and R. J. Kerr, Vancouver. At a subsequent meeting Mr. Flumerlelt was re-elected as president. Reeve May and Councillors Nye and McNaught, of North Vancouver municipality ; Reeve George Rae and Councillors H. A. Bell, George Stewart, W. A. Pound, G. Timms, R. Newton, of South Vancouver; Reeve Howe, of Point Grey municipality, and Councillor Farquharson, of Burnaby. Fruit Pests and Their Remedy The regular mouthly meeting of the Horticultural Societv was held at the residence of W. L. Keene, Wednesday evening before a good gathering. Mr. Keene gave a lecture on the above subject, which was instructive as well as interesting. Mr. Keene has given the subject much study, and explained the haunts and habits of the pests, and also a cure. His personal experiences in orchards has given Mr. Keene a vast amount of knowledge, and it is with this self-attained instruc tion that he so ably masters lhe subject. After the lecture, the new building proposition was gone into, after which it was decided to again advertise for tenders for the building, to be in the hands of the President, not later than Saturday, March 21st, at noon. A meeting will be held in the oflice of Mr. Alex. Smith on the above date for the receiving and opening of the tenders. Invitation to U. S. Battleship Squadron A meeting of the delegates on the Evans reception committee, comprising representatives of the cities of North Vancouver, Vancouver, the municipalities of North Vancouver, Burnaby, South Vancouver and Point Grey. The members from this side of the inlet were: Aldermen Smith and Braim, and Reeve May and Coun. cillon McNaught and Nye. All present were heartily in accord with the movement, as the following resolution, which was unanimously passed, will show 1 "At a meeting of all the representatives of the City of Vancouver and all the municipalities bordering on Burrard inlet, held in the council chamber, City Hall, Vancouver, British Columbia, March 10th, 1908, with the Mayor ol Vancouver in the chair, it was resolved that thc Dominion Government bc asked to extend through the proper channels an invitation to Admiral Evans and the American fleet to visit the Port ol Vancouver, British Columbia, on the ist and 2nd dayi of July next, or on luch other date as will be convenient to the American Naval Department, and thit 11 the reception should be of a national character, that Hit Excellency, the (luverntii (11 ni 1.11, be asked to come to the City of Vancouver to welcome Admiral Evans in the name ol the Dominion ol Canada, and that the Dominion Government place tuch sum at the disposal of the reception committee as will be sufficient to properly entertain Admiral Evans and his fleet on tht occasion of such visit."

CORRESPONDENCE Tu the Editur uf Tut Exraaaa : Dear Sir,—What a pity it is that advocates of temperance in the matter of consumption of alcohol cannot themselves be temperate in discussion. It is my opinion that intemperance of language is the worst form of intemperance there is, an opinion that is shared by many thoughtful men. May I refer, as an example of inebriety of language, to the execrable letter signed " Ratepayer," that appeared in ths fir-*! millibar ol the Nortli Vancou or News I It is no matter for surprise that the writer welcomes the shelter of anonymity for, to put it very mildly, he transgresses, n rj recognised decency of debate He may, however, be congratu lated on adopting a literary style in such complete harmony with tha: of the editor, whose very first words are "NorthVancouver bas underwent," etc. Your truly, A.
