As wus lu |ic anticipated from their previous record with reference tu Sec und Narrows bridge, the Vancouver rlhipmaslers' Association experienced no difficulty in discovering grounds for uncompromising hustilily lo thc plan submitted.

The situation at rjecuiui Narrows is no more difficult than that ou the Fraser, while lhe proposed span of 21111 feet is a greal dual wider than the spans of the Fraser lliver bridge. |t muy further bu cited that condition! at Ihc First Narrows of Hurrard Inlet with refereuce to tides, etc., are i>iiire«limeull Ihun Ihey are at Second Narrows, yet navigation has proceeded through Firsl Narrow,, up lu the present in ever iucfeuaing volume without serious inconvenience, ami Ihc width of slreuin regularly used by tugs with lows docs not by any inuuiis measure mill feel iu width. . Thu musl iiiiiiilde objection urged agaiusl lhe plans liy Ihc members of the association,'huwever, was that iu which North Vancouver was specifically inenlionuil. One speaker objected lo lhe expenditure in building lhe bridge ou lhe ground lhat it would "chieHy benefit Nurth Vancouver," and a sec uml speaker did not see why llic hur bur should he spoiled wilh a bridge "for the sake of Nortli Vamouver."
