Wbat ara the qualifications for poll
leadership! Bu|f as I
long ago of ope wbo "was twice' Primo
Minister—
S !-MAH0Nf-McFARyy
Sow formed to lead, if not too promt
to pleaiel
His fama would Sre you, but bis manner freeie;
Like or dislike, ba does not care a
jot|
He wants your votes, but your affections not. .
Yet human hearts need sun, as wall
ai oats-
Bo cold a -climate plays tba deuce with
votes,
Certainly a genial manner, so long as
it is not forced, but ia tbe spontaneoiis
nutcome of a really genial nature, in
a great help to leadership, but it is
not all-important.
The absolutely vital condition of
leadership is lincerity. All the muling and handshaking in the wnrld,
ami all the friendly teas on the Terrace, and nil Ihe smiling salutations
in the Division Lobby are as dust in
the balance when weighed against
sincerity. Social charm may cooiist
willl a profound form of humbug, and,
as Oeorge Kliot lays, "there ii no
reason why a loud man should not he
given to concealment, unless it can
be shown that Holy Writ hai placed
tbe segt of candour in h Mngs"
But a leader must believe in bb
cause with absolute conviction, if he
is to induce others to light for it; and.
unless his followers can rely nn his
good faith as one trusts one's weight
on rock, he may lind himself deserted
at a critical juncture.
Another essentia! of good leadership
li the love of fighting. Councils of war,
and stratagems, lind plots, and waiting
ou opportunity, and reliance on thu
chapter of accidonti, are ipcthods
which inspire follower! with ill-concealed or unconcealed disgust.
In enterprise of martial kind,
When there was any fighting,
He led his regiment from behind—
lie fouml it less oiciting.
But wheu away the regiment ran
Ilis place was at Ihe fori, O—
That iin.l.iiitc.l nobleman,
The lluke of PiazaTorol
A man whn would lead a political
parly, whether in ollice or in Opposition, must studiously avoid that illustrious example. sNni.crily, conviction,
loyally lo friends, a love of fighting, a
genial manner—Ihoie are come of the
qualities required for leadership.
Anotber is Hie faculty, not as common as one would suppose, of recognising a follower. I myself have seen
docile .Ml'., who have sacrificed
money, lime toil, health, and sometimes conscience to Die support of the
Government turn, liko tbe cruihoil
worm, when their leader aternly
ignored Iheir preseuco in Iho Lobby,
or, if forced lo speak to Ihem, called
them by inappropriate namei.
Il used lo be said in old days lhal,
when I ul.l llartington gave evening
parties at Devonshire House for bis
political supporters, he insisted thai
oo one should be shown up till twenty
bad arrived, so lhal (hey might talk to
one another and relieve lhe host of
Ihe intolerable burden of tulkiug to
them.
A great Prime Minister once said lo
a young man whom he met in a country house "I am glad lo have made
your acquaintance; and now you must
come into lhe Houie of (.'ominous and
support mc there!" Whereupon (he
youth replied—"I've been doing tbat
for sit years, and yuu bave nover
once spoken lo inc."—O. W. K. Bur

SUBOIOAL INTBBFEBENOE
During recent years the growing
tendency toward surgical interference
lo cure diieaie hai been a subject of
unfavorable comment, both in and
out of the medical profeiiion. II has
become tbe general belief thai many
practitioner! are loo ready lo resort
lo Iho knife. For this reaion opinion!
of prominent lurgeoui, ai expressed at
the rongress recently beld ih Chicago,
commend Ibepueivea as evidence of a
mii.t profeiilonal view. Tbeie surgeon*
announce lhal Ihe reaction has set in,
and tbe drift is away from oporaliom
and toward grSator dependence upon
medicine. Ai tbe ideas acquired al
Ihli congress will he impressed all
over tbe country tbe effect of tbe
diacuaiioni ibould be generally apparent. Let us hope thai surgeons will
bear In mind lbe advice of den
eminent In tbeir profession, who protect "'against operations lhal ars sot
absolutely necessary, aayi tbe Chicago
Daily Journal. Wbilo the splendid
achievements of modern surgery inspire admiration it ihould not be forgotten that Iti resources a/e designed
lo be used only wbsn lasi radical treatment proves unavailing.
Considering all bis splendid opportunities, tbe modern young mao is
vary disappointing.

NOTICE
TO HOLDERS OF NON-REGISTERED AGREEMENTS FOR SALE
Contrary to the usual practice the Assessment Notices for
1912 have been sent to the registered owners of properly
according to the Land Registry records.
Up lo the present, purchasers have heen in the habit of
notifying the city authorities lhat the property had changed hands
so that notices of assessment and taxation should not go astray.
This form of registration of owners has heretofore been deemed
sufficient for city purposes, but owing to a recent decision die
city council is advised by ils solicitors lo recognise these owners
only who appear on the records of the Land Registry Office.
Unfortunately a great many never register their deeds or agreements. .
The North Vancouver Land and Improvement Company
has received numerous assessment notices for 1912 for properly
which it has sold and whicii has since changed hands two or three
times.
Tlie Company, therefore, desires to notify persons who have
purchased from it that (hey should take steps to ensure notices
of assessment and taxation being sent Ip them so that they may be
come aware of the value at which they are being assessed and
pay taxes as they fall due.

A PROVINCIAL QBNBBAI,
BLBOTION
The intention of the provincial gov
1 nun,in to appeal to the people at an
curly dute whlcb was formally announc
ed by Premier McBride during tbe elos
Ing hours of .the session Just ended
I'lieiioi be said to have come upon the
public ss a surprise inasmuch aa It had
beon unofficially reported some time
previously and had been a favorite to
pic of discussion iu lhe newspaperr
for somo weeks past.
Tho decision of the government to
."i'l ml lo the country after the third
torejon of the legislature' is fully iu
accord wilh common practice and no
exception can possibly be taken lo the
step upou the score of procedure.
A largo amount of very important
legislation was passed during Ihe Ws
sion just closed ami the carryiug oul
of the policy laid down iu those incus
ures involves heavy responsibility. Thii
is true not only of tbe railway lull
passed by the house but alto With ref
erenee to the Forests Bill tnd other le
glslttlon, There is likewise, 1 grett
deal of legislation of tbe highest moment to the province (such aa tbe new
Itxttloa bill) which will ctll for ttteu
lion, in Ihe immeditte future. Under
these elnumsliucea it is perfectly reasonable lhat the government should con
•ider it wise to lay their whole policy
before Ihe peoplo in order that Ihey
may be relumed wilh tbe renewed con
seiousness of tbe confidence of the
electors of lhe province.
ll is likewise easily understood thst
view of the important interests in
procure absolutely all that was asked
was with reference to tbe right of the
city to purchase the landa of the Indian
Mission and even iu this instance the
information elicited, from government
circles was Midi as to convince the
mayor and tho eity clerk thai the best
interests of the city would he promoted
by leaving tbat matter iu Iho hands ol
the government for working out th>'
purposes whicii thuy at present havu ii
mind with reference to tho reserve.
The delegation, together wilh Bttvi
May, assisted by the alilo advocacy ol
II. II. Stevens, M.P., met with a favor
able reception from the Minister ol
Bailways, aud their representation'
with refurcuee to thu necessity of pro
tecting public interests in the mallei
of railway routes along the North Shore
were responded to by the minister witl
the assurance that in grantiug approval
to the route map of tbe C. 1'. II. he
would exercise every precaution to
ensure Ihe protection of the public along
Ihe lines indicated.
The results accruing from Ihe effort)
of Mayor McNeish and the City Clerk
wilh reference to Ihe sale of the ssrier
of debentures tuthorized by tbe rate
payers aro particularly gratifying. At
is goncrally known, the clly council
had been gdvised liy a very slrOng fi
uancial linn in Toronto that il would
nut be advisable to place the debentures
in question, upon the market uut il Ik
autumn. This placed the city face lo
face with a serious situutinn inasmuch
as Ihe cily was depending upon the pro
cetds of the sale of these debenture)
in order tu carry on operations upun

nf (be city is a buaiueulike document
which gives a perfectly clou and at
tlie samo lime a concise recital of the
results attained wltb reference to lbe
several important matters wbicb were
dealt witb cither at Ottawa or at To
roni'i. The report takes up these re
sportive mailers in orderly succession
tnd beginning wilb in interview with
the Deputy Minister of Public Works,
on tbe very tfternoon of Ibeir irrivtl
■t Ottawa, recites tbe several develop
moils in both cities it they followed
in point of time. In (his manner tbe
report dwells in turn upon transactions
re sanitary sewer outlet, drill hull tlte,
Indian reserve, cily htll site, C. P. B.
application end finally financial mat

The ttfoftt ot tbe city's repriesenta-
lives proved successful in oath insttuce
In producing results of material tdvau
ttge to the corporation. )p till tin
of the efforts mule, through different
avenues In effect an advantageous sale
uf thu debentures uutil success dually
eruwucil those efforts in the Ucgolialion
of a sale al 94.09 for both Ibe fifty
year ami the twenty year debenturei
and likewise the repurchase of the fer
ry debentures for 11*8,000 ut 1.05 lo
gethcr with Ihe sale of a new issue
of ferry delmulures al par fur 1150,1101).
This offer, which was finally accepted
by Ibe mayor, places the city iu fund,
tor lbe immediate Commencement of
operations upon civic public works, ensuring ample lun.Is for u full seasun
work and likewise relieves the awkward
situation which had developed wilh re
ference to procuring further funds fur

Considered in all ils bearings, Hie
mission of the mayor and city clerk
was ii decided success and points clear

dominating thought-did ha-have the
best reasons fpr>nowte« that Mglllot
waa Innocent?
During the brief pausa In whlcb Dr.
pa Bwen cqolly surveyed him—(or
proper function—bu recovered something of bis equipoise.
"See hare, Doctor," be want on more
calmly, "1 am not familiar enough
with the procedure In—er—In criminal
cases tn know just what I want to say.
But Is the next step Imprisonment for
Mr. Maillot?"
"It Is,11 snipped tbe doctor.
"Thep I wilt go'ble bond-In any
amount; but he must not go—'1
"My dear sir," Dr. De Breen Inier-
rupted, with asperity, "a prlsonor under charge of lirst degree murder cannot be admitted to ball; not even by
tbe court having Jurisdiction it his
case, much less 1. The police are now
responsible for the young man's movements,"
He deliberately turned bis back upon tbe millionaire speculator, and
strode away. Years after that scene,
in. Ho Hi; .n I'liiiinM to mc Ihil
Fluette bad given bim the Impression
that be was hinting at a bribe.
The words, however, seemed to
strike Mr. Fluette like a physical
blow, He winced perceptibly, and his
face worked with agitation. But bo
rose splendidly to tbe occasion. In a
second or so his customary •commanding dignity returned, and his keen
Dance. He wheeled upon Maillot al
the Instant that much* distressed
young man was persuaded by dene-
vli'Vi- to'leave Belle's side.
"Maillot," said be, In a firm Voice,
"I sincerely regret any hard feelings
I may bave entertained for you In tbe
past. You are not only a courageous
young man, but an Innocent one, and
one, therefore, tbat Is being msdo to
suffer a grievous wrong. I wish io
say so here publicly; I wish, (oo, to
say publicly lhat I mean to seo Him
yuu have al your disposal th'.' best
legal iiileiii procurable."
Maillot's roceptlon of this offer was
pei'iilliir. He looked the man ol
money squarely in Ihe eyes lor an In
slant; then his lips twisted Into a
mocking lu'iilo. He nodded his bead
aver so allghtly, but the movemont
waa unmistakably a curt rejection.
"Thank you," he said dryly, his
voice low and oven. "But I Intend
getting out ol this scrape myself, Mr.
Fluette; I don't wish to occasion you
any future embarrassment. Please
don't mistake my meaninng."
Fluette mado no further cITort, and
It waa Impossible to determine Just
how tbe rebuff—It wu uo less—affected bim; he had blmsell well In
baud, now. He began preparallons
lor conveying home his still unconscious daughter, sud before they departed 1 contrived to have a private
word wltb Qeuevleve. Her face waa
very tragic.
"1 must see you alone—aa soon as
possible," I said hurriedly.
"I can't leave Belle," ahe whispered. "Wbat Is it?"
"My flrat request from my llouleh-
snl," I cblded, smiling down at hor.
"Don'tI" sbe pleaded. "1 shall come
Where! When?"
Dear me, no. I'll do the coming;
It's only 'when'?"
"To-morrow?" sbe suggested doubtfully. "You know, we 're all so upseL
And Belle—" Tho dear girl nearly
broke down. Yes, do come," sbe murmured tearfully, "as early as you can;
everything depends upon you, uow."
I caught her band. "Please doni
worry," I whispered; "everything will
come out right. I can't hear lo see
you suffer. Will eight o'clock bo loo
early?"
"No."
"I il not say 'Be brave,' for you 're
the bravest girl In tbe world; bul
please don't fret and worry Hero's
your I'uii'iiiiiuii. Qood-bye."
She smiled wanly. "I aha'n't," sbe
Mid. "Qood-bye—Ull to-morrow mora,
lug."
She pressed my band and ran lightly
out.
Maillot now came over to where I
wea standing. He wu very pale, bis
lace wu drawn wllh llnea of suffering
(more (or Miss Belle ihun on bis own
sccount, beyond doubt), but his manner wu quite compoacd. In fad, his
demeanor waa more subdued—chu-
teiieil. as ll were—than I Jjud sceu It
si any Ume during our brief acqualn-
lance.
"Well, It's over,"-he reuiarkojl b"'
terly.
"Don't be un us," I returned. "II
you are Innocent, nothing worse can
happen."
He smiled whimsically, quickly lak-
Ing me up.
"And If guilty, the worst Is yel to
joiiic. eb? Well, at auy rate, 1'm.your
prlsonor." I
"Not ni'i'i"I'uiily mine," I aald.
"By prodHinc. 1 can't slund lor
hose roughneck cops, and Stodger u
s I'UHiodiim Is a Joke. I'd be too
itrongly templed lo dump him into lbe
flrat bandy snow-drift, and cut 'oore
I doni suppose you'll insist on any rot
about handcuffs and all lhat sort of
tiling?"
Notwithstanding bla pretence ol
humorous Indifference, there wu s
question la bis tone, and he peered al
ou a bit anxiously. I grinned.
"I don't know." 1 said. "1 won't take
sny chances on being dumped Into a
snow-drift."
"Hot! You know I couldn't If I
wanted to."
"Mr. Fluette could liave helped you.
Maillot."
I looked at bim narrowly. He
shrugged bis shoulders, merely, and
produced and lighted a cigarette.
"Let's go," he said, lipping the
match away.
Stodger wu left on guard at Ihe
Page place. My prisoner and I walk, d
to a car and proceeded to police head-
juarters.
His altitude, naturally enough, wu
ane of extreme dejection; nevertheless
I tried to cheer bim up vainly and
when opportunity offered I alao tried
to get tome light upon the ring episode.
"It doesn't do tor me to express an
«plnlon one way or another u to your
probable guilt or innocence, Maillot,"
I said at one lime; "but 1 can tell you
;hls much (or yonr encouragement.
"Since the murder, several develop
moots have turned up which convince
oe that there's a deal more In Ibt
trim than either you or I can at pre
sent conceive. You can keep It In
.mind that I see more work ahead than
I did Immediately after qnbslng you
£nd Burke Wednesday morning
y the way, lhat ring you slipped upon
your linger ibis iiwfiifiiu, wBosd'ls it?"
For a second he frowned wltb an air
of trying to recall the incident. Suddenly his lace cleared.
"Did you notice that?" be relumed,
with perfect composure. "It's mine—
waa my mother'! wedding ring."
I wH watching him Intently- He
met my regard with a level look.
"In tbe habit of wearing It?" I uked.
"Sometime!,."
"See hero," I cam* to the point witb
abrupt directness. "You appreciate
quite u ipqcb as I dp the ilgnlflctuiie
of that broad band of gold on the middle linger of your right hand. Why did
you put It there at sucb a Ume?"
He sat silent
"You've become mighty oloie-
moutbed all at once," sharply urged.
He gave me a little balf-smllm and
glanced away.
"By advice of counsel I refuse to
talk," said be, quietly.
"If you are tbe couniel, you bave a
fool for a client—and vice versa," I
retorted.-"I suppose, too, tbat you refuse any assistance tbat I—"
Instantly bis usumed Indifference
vanished.
"By no means," stopping mc wllh
considerable warmth. "It there's any
way out of ibis rotten mess It's you
that must get me out. My bands are
literally lied, now. And—Swift," bo
hesitated; his face clouded and bis
voloe suddenly dropped, "I—I simply
can't say anything more, old chap.
"So," I quietly observed, "you, too,
are worried about Fluette."
He started as If stuug.
"My Qod, Swlftl" be began, und
stopped, Ho sat staring at me a mom
ent in utter dismay, then bis disturbed
look wandered to a window.
"You're loo devilish sharp," ho mut
tared.
"Lucky for you tbat I am," retorted
1, cheerfully. "This Is a bad tangle
tbat wo'ro caught In, Maillot."
He said nothing more. By the Ume
we reached our destination he was prepared to enter philosophically upon bis
period of confinement, whether it
should prove long or Bhort. As I turned to depart I noticed tbat lio was
following me wltb a wistful look.
"I'll seo Ibat you are kepi posted
about the young lady,'.' I told him;
whlcb ellcllcd a deep sigh of relief
and a ferveni word of thanks.
Again I was preparing lo leavo him,
the turnkey standing by and Impa
tlenily jingling lhe ring of big braes
keys which was suspended from Ills
arm, when lbc prisoner clllcd me buck.
'He scorched my eyes earnestly.
"Swift," he begun, "as I said before,

CHAPTER XVIII.
A Fight In the Dark
Alter the cell door closed upon
ItoyaJ Maillot I returned al once to the
house of tragedy, whose ovll geulus
was promising lo play havoc wllh lhe
lives ol so many of tbe living; and u
I approached tbe bleak, auslcrc old
n..n.i nm somelhlng in Ils silent and In-
anlmale citerior seemed to repulse my
advance up ihe gravel walk. My slips
lagged, aud at last I drew lo a hall.
('old aud clear and anappy u the
day was, still there wu something
oppressive jn Ihe air Ibat hung about
the house of death. I looked ai ihe
lifeless windows. Blaring vacantly,
utterly expressionless of lbe swift
moving tragic drama thai bad been
onacled behind them, falling lo foreshadow what wu yel lo iransplre
hero, they all at onco brought forcibly
to my mind Aleunder Burlui. Thus
did bla eyes hide, Instead of disclose,
the workings wllhln.
That the mind of this man was secret snd evil I could uow no longor
doubt. Fells i'sge bad been a sower*
lul man, physically and mentally; yel
Alexander llurke. sly and Implies e,
soft-spoken apd sofWooled, ever alert
and observant and burrowing lik. a.
molo, In darkness, bad undermlucd
him, and—tbe conviction grew—bad
brought abotjl His cruel death.
In what way? What far-reaching
machination wu be ao laboriously
evolving? Wbat snaro wu he cuilng
unaeen to bring down In ruin Uie Urea
of others! And wby? Coward ibat he
wu, bad he at no Ume worked in iho
broad light of day?
An unwelcome aense of depression
WU sluv.,}' weighing me down. It.waa
m It lbe silent bouse were haunted.'
At the Ume, i wu convinced lhat I
wu merely making a hodge-podge of
the hundred and one clews lhal bad
come to mi bands, though now I know
that lhe whole vul soheme wu gradually taking shape In my mind. I wu
bewildered by lbe wide diversity of unopposed interest!, left powerless by
failure to light uoon a sure point of
common Interest defining the AtUUides
of the different actors, ror to say lhat
It wu lhe ruby did not clear Uie fog
any—unless I accepted the growing
assurance that Alfred Fluoiie wu 'he
acUvfc Initrument of death.
Sllll, every detail I bad gathered
wu necessary to complete Uie circle.
When dnally I did bav* my case all In
bind there wu no single point tbat remained oUcuro.
My brooding Inertia wu dlapelled by
a shout from Stodger. He wu stand
Ing oo the front porob. regarding me
with oonajderahle ouriqirtty.

I soon learned that he bad something of interest to report.
"Wit knpw. Bwlft/' said he, wttft
much seriousness, extending bis chubby hands to tho welcome warmth of
he library Are, "(t'l an outragt
I It Isn't that ■•- -"'
HinI Bullevo lu ghostst"
I was Instantly all attenUon. Qene-
vlove's terrifying experience wis top
recent and real for me to scout any
supernatural suggestion of my col-
league. I quickly uked:
"Been anything aout the house?"
"Not (p bere. Outside. Copldn't
chase 'em-"
"I'm glad you aro fat, thep; who
would havo watched tbe bouse while
you were chasing whatever It was you
thought you saw?"
He olapped one hand on top of bis
bullet of a head, and stared at me Ip
comical surprise.
"Sayl You're right, Swlftl You
are, by Qeorgel first time I ever
found A—ah—you know—a consolation
for my—er my—my stoutness,
"Two shadows. Didn't get to see 'em
plain, All tho time you were gone I
could glimpse 'em now and tbon—flrat
one place, then another—slipping and
sliding through tbe bushes, trying to
keep hid, y' know.'1
As may be Imagined, I wu profoundly Interested. ,
"Wbat did they look like?" 1 asked.
Stodger shook bis head. "Bushes
too thick. No leaves; but they wouldn't come closo enough for me lo get a
good look. Min. Watching the bouse,
all right"
The mailer wu serious euough, In
al) conscience Our Incessant vigilance wu most certainly Justlded by
iho perUuaclly of these mysterluus
prowlers, for u long us they surreptitiously sought to enter tbo houso, my
belief lhat the ruby lay hid somewhere
in iii'iith Its roof wu in a way confirmed.
stodger was sagely nodding bis bead
at inc.
"To-nigbl." be said, with meaning.
"Ucl unythlng you like."
"To-night, 1 thoughtfully echoed.
"It would uot surprise me In the leut"
Although a closo watch wu maintained throughout lbc remainder of the
day. we saw no moro of tbe elusive
"shadows." My arrival, manifestly,
had frightened Ihem away.
I put In a portion of the time unUl
nightfall going carefully over tho old
houso again, from cellar to roof. My
purposo now was to ascertain whether
there wero any secret pusages or concealed openings winiidty wo might be
surprised; and my labors convinced
mo Ibat there were none. The face
which Qeuevleve saw at the alcove
curtains could be cully accounted for,
since, wllh the exception of Stodger,
who was In the socond story, and the
officer lu lbe lower hall, everybody In
lbe bouse wu usemblod In the
library, aud, of course, completely absorbed In lhe Inquest It bad been an
enI'j matter lo open one uf Ibe lower
windows, or oven one of the rear or
side doors, and onlor tho houae.
1 found lhal ibe walls wero all of an
even, normal thickness, and ihere were
no euuecs i" iw' ii floors or walla for
which I did uoi satisfactorily account.
1 also kept u walchful eye for Iho pro
lotypo of the designs on lbe cipher,
but discovered nulling Ibul wu at all

mlu iv.in the day proved to be
wholly uneventful. I spent much time
In consideration of my cue, naturally;

The orderly precision of Jesus' movements is well Illustrated in the fact
that He did not emorgo from private
life until imprisonment closed tb; car
oer of His forerunner. Oalilee, from
ite frontier poaition on B commercial
highway, was more independent of cur
rent oceleslaAiciim, and consequently
more apt to recoive the QoBpol., The
wisdom of Josus in the choice of the
sceuo of His earliest preaching is ap
parent.' On comparison of the evangelists there seems to have heen a gorier
of progressive calls to the Apostolatc
A first call, after wbicb there was n
dimission to their old environments,
whore, free from tho novelty of tboir
now mission, tbey might review what
Ihey had seen and heard, Tho second
call was not, therefore as abrupt as it
would appear from tho narrative. By
it tbe apoatles were permanently attached to tbe porson nf the Lord. The
third call was the fornjal induction
into the apostolic college. Tbeso four
were always the most closely attached lo His person of all Jesus' apostles.

wbo were all subscribers to fbe petition presented lo parliament asking
for incorporation. *. .
Each of lbc promoters subscribed for
twenty shares of stock and the mum
cipalities above named as follows:
The Districl of Nortb Vancou-
couver $2511,000
The City of Vaueouver ....$800,000
Tbo City of Nortb Vancouver $100,01)0
and tbe district of Burnuby is

of which the several municipalities in

a grant of $200,000 transferred from the

Before incorporation tbe promoters
bud a firm of engineers give them an estimate on a double track bridge wilh
roadway wbicb tbey estimated wouhl
cost about $1,500,000. Tbis was before
any BOundings or burings were taken

city. Mr. E. Crutwell, one of Ihe pari
ners of Sir Jobn Wolfe Barry 41 Part
ueri, has made a thorough examination
of the site, taken boriags, aud made an
inspection of the bed of Ihe Narrows
at tbe bridge crossing at an expense
of about $11,000. Mr. Crutw'e)) pre
pared sketches showing capacily
and coat of different bridges. These
woro submitted to the Board of Direc
tors including the representatives of Ibe
different municipalities .mul the plan
chosen waa that a three-track bridge
with two roadways and side walk lur
pedestrian, one track being for stoam
railway, two tracks for tram cars, two
roadways for vehicle traffic and an 8
fool walk for pedestrians.
Thero will be an opening span for
ocean going vessels £00 feet wide and
tho bridge will be high enough to allow all small craft sucb as tug boats
and small rousting pleasure si earners
to pass underneath without opening
Uio draw. The estimated cost of the
bridge is $2,126,000-ihis is $760,000
more than the first estimate obtained
but tbis bridge has a much larger capacity. Tho directors thoughl It much
better tp put up a bridge tbat would
BC, Fft)BAY,MAHm K 1*1*
£
have sufficient accommodation for tra
tic for the next ten or fifteen years
ovou if thu cost were greater, it woul
be tbs M'« polloy in tbe long run.
At a Noa»'t-iH'WiHitf-ihe .itreetow-
the company bad witb tbe lion. Rich
■rd McBride, premier pf British Col
umbia, regarding further assistance for
tbe larger plan pf bridge, bs complimented tbo board on their foresight in
preparing for a large increase of trallic
by adopting a plan of bridge which bad
a capacity to supply tbs public needs
for many years; he was favorably impressed witb our proposals and said tbat
he would certainly give tbem his serious attention as tbo project deserved
tbe greatest consideration from tbo pro
vinclal government. Ho also mentioned
Uml the bridge across tho Fraser river
at New Westminster would in a short
time havo to bo supplemental witb
more accommodation as traffic was increasing so riipi'lly, aud it is only a
few years sjpee it was built.
Our ongineora are now busy preparing
plans and specifications of tho bridge
which we expect to bo ready shortly,
when tenders will bo invited for the
construction.
Wo may say that tbe company stands
unique iu Canada as being the only
railway company working under a special charter from tho Domiuion government and being owned and controlled
by four municipalities through which
it pusses .the provisional directors mentioned being merely promoters for the
municipalities interested. The only personal interesl that Ibe directors have
in tbo company consists in own
ing twenty shares of stock which is Ihe
necessary legal qualification for being
a direel or.
It is expected thai tbe bridge will
be complelod in twu years from nuw
when it will be open lo lhe uso of
overy railway that comes lo Ibe Bur
rani peninsula; it will accommodate
twelve trains per hour ur two hundred
nnd forty trains per day of twenty
hours, aud from tbe fad of its being
owueil ami controlled by tbe public
under the jurisdiction of the railway
cominisslouers, equal treatment will be
guaranteed tu all railways desirous of
using it.
As will be soon from Ihe above re
port,, there is still a deficiency in the
tolal cost of tbe coustructiun of lhe
bridge amounting to about one million
dollars, which may be made up in either
of tbe two following ways:
1. Tbe municipalities interested
guaranteeing the interest ou the de
bculures of the bridge .ami the proviu
cial and Dominion governments incrcas-
ing their subsidies lo a further amount
uf $500,000.
2. The municipalities could subscribe
for further slock to the amouul of
$350,0'10 and get tbe provincial gov
eminent to guarantee the debenlure."
to thr exlcut of $750,000. This could
be apportioned as follows: Tbe Cily of
Norlb Vancouver $120,000. the Districl
of North Vancouver $120,001), lhe eity
of Vancouver $100,000 and the districl
uf Burnaby or if lbc municipalities
