Stevens, M.P. on Local Problems FULL BXPQBITION OF ATTITUDE IN BAILBOAD MATTBB8 "YOU WILL HAVE BAILWAY OON NEOTIONB JUST SO BOON AB SECOND NARBOW8 BRIDGE 18 OOMPLETED" DEALS OUTSPOKENLY WITH OTHER QUESTIONS OF THB MOMBNT Larson's pavilion was on Tuesday nigbt tbo scene of a well attended meeting of ratepayers aud residents of tills city, the raiBon d'etro of the evenf being tho presence in North Vancouver uf Mr. H. H. Slovens, M.P. Aftor an informal dinner in his honor at tbo Hotel Nurth Vancuuver, the member and his hosts adjourned ut eight o'clock to the pavilion, where a large audience convened under the auspices of tbe Hoard of Trudc, was already ussemblcd. The president of the Board, Mr. Alexander Smith. Willi only a few prefatory remarks, called upon Mr. Btevcns, whu, speaking without notes, dwelt ex haustivcly aud convincingly ou most matters at present affecting tbu North bhore. v 'I am delighted," said Mr. Stevens, ^'to have this opportunity of Booting lbc citizens of North Vancouver uuder the auspices of the Hoard of Trade and of discussing with yuu a fow of the questions which are uf particular inter est ou Ihis side uf the Inlet. I sliull nul attempt tu gu into auy elaborate details regarding all lhe problems of the moment, Such a purpose could not . be limited tu one night. I shall cot Inn myself to auch questions iu whic I you are very particularly interested. I noticed that one pf the papers suid il. ii I was tu give un nccouut of my itcwardship. That wus scarcely thc wuy lu express il. I am uut here tu apologise for any action 1 bave taken *X% few uf my zealous friends have seen III fo criticize my attitude mure or less ■laverely. When Ihey hear the explun I aliens I think they will agree with uir that what I have done bas beVu in tho iuteresls of tbe community. 'Let uie lirst (.mi.mne North Vancouver ou its development. Our 9k ing the few months 1 have been away I notice marked changes and very rapid development uu Ihis side of thc lulel, lu all places in the cast which I have visited I have heard expressiuus of 1 'iii in Vancuuver, nieauiug uf course the lower mainland and there have beeu gluwing tributes tu this shore of the Inlet. "The interesl of North Vuncouver In my estimation is wruppci^.up iu the interests uf the whole district. I be lievc that it is a mistake fur auy one section of Hrilish Columbia or of tbis diatrict which we term Greater Vancouver to be jealous of thc other part. I lay dowu Ihis as oue of lhe guiding j priueipl « iu all my arlion*, that wc must be unanimous in the interests uf the whole district. Anything which develops the province must delevop Greater Vancouver. Anything which affects the south side of the lulct advantageously musl ussist you here, and vice versa. Wc want lo cultivate 11 kind uf esprit de corps. There is just a little too much tendency tu look ufler number uue and ip many cases a lack of public spirit! 1 wisb it tu be uu dersluud that I am not finding faull kith my coustitucuts. Mauy uf you In ■'■ bave tuude fortunes. There islets ft room for everybody. It Is alung Fouch lines that I have tried tu work at ItUvva. Duo of the questions of burning in lei. -i to the people of North Vancou ver Is thc railway question. I think one olrhfuiost rehiarkolde things in Ihe history of Canada Is that Norlh Vun ' .couvcr should have grown up to this ex lent without any railway connections. This it 000 of lbc reasons why I ad vocated additional subscriptions lo thc Second Narrows bridge project. Jt certainly, however, would not be wife for this city in the light of the export- ifuco of Vancouvor and other cilift to givo away all its public privileges for thc sake of getting its railways a lit- I tic more speedily than it would get them otherwise. ' "Beforo leaving hero in January i r. 1 eivid adviro ilml tho C. ,P li, had application to havo ihe route I map approved. This map whirl) the 0, P. tt. filed was tot a- route to come from thii side of Fort Moody to an ndeioile point about half way between Ete Md Point Atkinson. I asked fur rther information in thii connection ut. could get none. I aJao received ^oio thit district certain communita I tbo d/«tributii)g and delivery of your ,oni from public bodies." Mr. Slovens Iiii point »«ad aloud Uw letters ro ntt. "l think you will agree witb IHO," be continued "that there werp pqt suU(- cieut grounds on which to approve of that routo map. It should bo borne ip mind that tho ('. P. P. would havo complete control qf your foreshore from somewhere near Point Atkinson to Port Moody. There wus no provision for street ends. Yuu would bo iu exactly thu same position aa the people are iu Vancouver today. This wus because their 'route map was approved by t|io 1 imu in government. Undoubtedly the ruilvvuy t'ommissiou would havo giveu the city crossings, but these would have had tu he maintained by tbe city. Nut only would tbo (.'. P. K. have had this minimi, but it would also have control, freight along the waterfront. "Another point uf grave iqipurtance is that the ruute map of the 0. I'. R shows the rood to bo un a level lower than the approach of the Second Nor rows bridge. If this map had been approved and the bridge was 40 feet higher than the ('. P. II 's. grade, the cuinpany wuuld have said it was a phy sical Impossibility to connect. I con tend that the C. p. H. shuuhl provide for this. "Another matter is this—that iu or tier tbut the harbor commission should be a success it is necessary that every foot of waterfront should bo under the control of the coiiimissiuii. If tbat bunrd bus in connection with its organ- .■mum a railway system, the C. P. B. shuuhl be compelled to connect with thut system Thul is the most Import ant point in my estimation. The great- est difficulty ii'in.v iu connection with harbor development iu Vancouver is thc position occupied by the C, P. II. They own Iwo (birds of the foreshore iu False Creek, from Coal llurbor to tho II. T. P. whurf. They own ami control the greater part of thc revenue' producing section of tbe waterfront. And the first question a harbor com mission should ask itself is 'Where is thc revenue coming fronit' Why dupb cute this situatiou ou the North Shorel Uow is the question to be answered! "I usked Sir Thomas Shaughucssy whether the 0. P. li. would be willing to co-operate with the harbor rom iiiis.-ion. ami ho said quite frankly thai Ihe cuinpany wuulil nql. 'Wc bavo the strategic pusilipu,' he said. I am not blaming them ur in any wuy attacking tbo C. P. K. Tbis is simply lhe rosull of the' policy Ihey laid down thirty years ago." Mr. Stevens proceeded tu summarise the proceedings which attended thc vis il of Major McNeish anil Heevc May to Ottawa. "Subsequent tu this," he suid. "I went lu Montreal tu consult Ferry Directors and Safety of Public Continued on page two FOURTH STREET TO BE WIDENED EAST AND WEST The cily council lusl night decided lliul work should be gone ahead wilh In connection wilh thc widening uf Ith slrect. The ucling engineer was auih orizod lo lake llic necessary steps to this end. The street is to be widened from Forbes avenue lo St. David's ave uue, lo a uniform width of 100 feel, the work to be done on a 'local improve incut busis. The estimated cost of thc undertaking is ll'i.mji) and thc rity purposes assessing the final cost upon the properly benefitted, MANAOBR DBTAIDtf PRECAUTION* ALREADY TAKEN AND IS AU THORIZED TO TAKE MORE That tho present forry directorate is resolutely determined to safeguard to the very fullest extent tlie livos of passengers on tbo boats under iti' control was emphatically demonstrated at the board's regular meeting yesterday- afternoon. Mr. H. 0. Wright ini™ dm e.1 the important topic witb a refer' ence to tho Atlantic disaster which hat recently- appalled tbe entiro civilisod world. He considered that iu the light of such a cninmiiy as this, it behooved a board such as themselves, since tbey were daily responsible for tbo safoty of a groat number of lives, to adppt an even better system than tboy bad to day. "I think,' 'said Mr. Wright, "thut wc might to see to it that each boat is equipped witb sufficient apparatus to save thc lives of overyonc on board." Capt. fates, while concurring iu this pointed uut that tbie boats carried four life rafts over and above what the guvernment calls for. "They arc not loo many,' 'added tbe captain. "Tbe point < I mean is tbat tbo government 1 annot hold us responsible so loug us we comply with regulations." Mr. Wright thought they ahould not only Consider, wbat the regulations demanded, but that tbey should heed what Iheir own coiumonscnec dictated. Mining.'I Heard iuformed the board that while tbe boat; were expected to curry four life boots,'they carried five. Number .'I ferry carried eight life rafts, each constructed Ip carry a lou .lead weight. Kncli life preserver would uimn moved lhat tbe inana'gor be iu nirueieii lo muke all the life saving precautions that aro possible o» the boats; also tbat he bo autborUei] to get eight more life rat In, four for each boat. This motion, duly seconded, waa carried unanimously. . A letter emanated from Solicitor B. Ii. Ueld on tho subject of tbo recent Le Due action, "ln this case," wrote Mr. Held, "the whole facts as given by Mr. Lo Due and Mr. Heard wore put bofore tho court. I was of tbe opinion thut the facts so proven did not const!-, inle li case of action against ilm company and moved for a nou-suit whiph was refusod. It was useless to call further evidence, as tho facts which 1 could prove ou the defeuco bad been proven on behalf of thc plaintiff . Tbe verdict of the. jury as it gives tbe plaintiff tbo value of the horses necessarily means that the course of uction on whicii you have boon condemned was tbo nmi cln.'sinj: of the gates, and 1 am of tho opinion that tbis is quite properly a caso which should Ire appealed to thc court of appeal." Iu viow of this the board resolved that thc solicitor should go ahead witli the proceeding! relative to the appeal. On Mr. Rcid's suggestion it was ulso decided that a letter should be written to thc Imperial Oil Company on Ibe subject of connecting thc ferry company's pipe with tbe pipe line of tbo oil company ou tbe Vancouver wharf for a period uf ten years. Manager Heard suggested tbat iu case uf lire un the boats he should have in-ialled an electric hell in the engine room with wires connecting with ail hydrants. The suggestion wus for Local Resident Gored by Angry Cow support a weight of 10 lbs. Number , three was licenced to carry DUO "mll>' s,ll""ci1' passengers, and she was equipped witb Mr. "l'»'J *" fur"'" authorized, on 1120 life preservers. "We exece* by a ""■' »uggcstiou of Mr. Olndwiu, to sc considerable margin at the " present ca™ two additional deeft bonds ou time," suid the manager the requite, bolidays, Sundays or whenever be meuts of the government.'' Life rafIt \ ,ll'<""» cxtro '"'P meimy. he contended, were belter than life- The manager thought the number two boats. Oue man could launch them boat wuuld be oil the ways Tliursduy and Ihey would accommodate a great night and wuuld be in service loday many more souls.

LONSDALE THEATRE Next week the Golden Ift-Ptige -Co. will present for Iho first time in stock a screaming farce entitled "Snowball" This piece was performed at Terry's theatre, London, where it enjoyed a vory lo'ug run. Jt is replete with droll sil uul ions and sparkling witticisms and doubtless will prqve a capital vehicle for the company.

"After hearing Mr. Stevens' speech on Tuesday night," said Councillor ilridgman ut lust cveuing's session of the diatrict council, "and after learn ng the governmeut's attitude towards the project of tbe Burrard Inlet Tun ucl ami Hridge Company, J think wc should make thc bridge bylaw to raise the sum of (1011,000 instead of $120, 000, If the city wili make their by law for 1100,000 and West Vancouver (20,000, Ihis will bring us up to the required 20 per ccut, of the capital stock in thc company, which 1 believe It is very advisable wc sbpuld have. I therefore, move Ibat tho clerk be in structcd to prepare tbe bylaw for $100, 000." The motion was carriod on thc seconding of ''oun. Westover. Willi Kecve May presiding and Ooun. Loutet thc only absentee, the council attended to a good deal of business iu a short time. Included in a smaller pile of correspondence than usual was a letter from Mr. .1. P. Craw ford relating to the bridge to bo conitrueted ovor Lynn Canyon. Accompans led by plan and specification!, thc iot | ¥"'<> wff accepted A cluster of ratepayers forwarded suggestions for the Improvement of King street. They recommended lhat a sidewalk be laid invthe north side of the street two blocks from Lons •lul aveuue aud tbat the street be grud ed ami macadamised for lbc same dis tauce. Tbeir letter was referred to tho board of works. Coun. Ward mentioned that rumor had reached him that the granite quor rics uf Deep Cove were taking ror.k from the public roadway, Tbe rugin ocr was instructed to investigate and report. Coun. Westover then introduced 0 topic of considerable importance to the Valley. "The people here," he said, "have for sonic time been asking for a telephone system. Nothing has so far been done, and I move, therefore, that thc clerk be instructed tu write to the telephone company asking the reason for delaying the installation of a syttcm in' LynnWlcy." Tho motion was formally seconded and carried, lo Ibo accompaniment of loud "Hear hoar" from lbc audi torium. The following firms submitted tenders for tbe conitructlon of Woodlands wharf: Vancouvor Pile Driving and Contracting Co., J1.200; Mackenzie, Broadfool and Johnson, $1,648; Mcl'her son and Armytage, $000.

Stevens, M.P., wore greatly surprisod when, the intimation was made that there still lingered in certain quarters, a disinclination tu accord acceptance tu the fad that Hur rani Inlet Tunnel aud Bridge Company is u corporation, owned ami controlled by the respective municipalities whicii have become stockholders iq the company. The local public have long since arrived at au accurate uu demanding of Iho situation and arc well uware of thc fact that there is nothing whatever iu that situutioii which is in auy way irreconcilable wilh the fact lhat Hurrard Inlet Tunnel and Bridge Compauy is a municipally owned company iu tbe strictest souse of the term. The fuel that ilm provision ul bourd of directors is still in ollice, creates uo uncertainty ur cunfusiou in the in i in I uf any well informed citizen in this regard, it is well understood that certain private citizens were suf lieieully enterprising tu take hold uf iho proposition lo givo their time "und attention and to put up their own money iu order to secure the incorpora- lion of Hurrard lulet Tunucl ami Hridge Company iu the initial stages uf the movement, when it wuuld have been impossible to secure concerted action for the purpose upun the part of the muni cipalities. Frum tbe very inception of Ihe proceedings^ these gentlemen pub liely declared lhat they were undertaking the matter, not as a private cuter prise, but in the public interests. I'pnli almost every suitable occasion Ihey have openly declared iu the must un mislakeahle language lhat they are act ing as trustees for the public aud farther that Ihey would be fuuud quite willing to relinquish their positions on the Board jut! as soon as the munici I .■■ lis uiude it pouible for ibem to do so. The local public likewise fully ap preeiate the fact that Ihey have lhe public spirit, and lhe ability of the members ol the provisional board tu, Ihaiik for the fart that the affairs of Hurrard Inlet Tunnel and Bridge Com pany have been conducted in u manner which bus scored conspicuous success, ull along lhe line and that Ihe whole intricate problem has been solved in nil its phases This, hat not been ac- compliibed in u-duy, neither has i been nil flam sailing. The pruposillou was be set with many difficulties and develop ed many delicate situations, lo lueel whiih required persistence, paticucc, lime arid ability The provisional buard mis splendidly responded to all the requirement!, ut all times, and so signally successful hat imu ie' -traiion pm vi 0 that everv detail of thc entire problem Is.." been worked out lo a point at which is all lhal it lefl lo accomplish is lo m'core Ihe small remaining pur tion uf the large aum of money that will be required for actual construe tion. the provisional hoard remains in olhco should not at all confuse the mutter in lbe mind of members of Parliament, because uu ordinary working familiarity with the llui I wuy Act itself, will fully explain jusl why Ihis is the cue. The Railway Act provides that in uo cine shull Iho provisional bourd of ili rectors of any company or any member of that buin,I, be allowed lo relire from ollice until twenty-five per cent, of tin' capital stock of the company has boon subscribed ami paid up, Now, uilbuiigii live or six municipalities huve passed the ■ necessury bylaws and have sill'- scribed for shares iu Horrard Inlet Tun nel uml Bridge Company, there has nni vet been actually paid into the treasury of the compauy a sum of money equal lo twenty five per cent, of thc capital stock I hereof. Until this in • lone, it would not .be possible, under lhe Bailway Act, for the members ol' the provisional board lo retire.

W. B. HOOD, Secretary. Nortl) Vancouver Shooting Affray Oaso Heard in Vancouver Jesse Whitfield, a colored man, wns found guilty iu tbo assise court, Vancouvor, yesterday of blowing up the shack of ' 'li'iide Halo, another colored man, at North Vancouver, witb intent in do him iirieiuiiii bodily barm. The ei idence showed that on tbe morning of March U5, an oxplosion occurred in a small house occupied by Halo at tbo corner of Chesterfield avdnuo und -Ith atreet. Suspicion fell upuu WhitHeld, v. im was said to have made throats aud to be jealous of Hale. The police went straight lo Whitllold's house and saw someone running across Ine sidewalk and into the bush that they ho lioved to be Whitllold. He was after wards placed under arrust, and to Chief of,Police Davies he mude u statement to the effect that he hud placed Ilie powder which had blown up Hale's shack, but he hud not meant to hurl him. He only wished to give him "a good scare." It further developed that Halo was Inul up with a broken leg at the time, and u colored girl staying with the Whilliclds used lo go to his shack to clean up uml cook for bim, Mra. Whit field would go duwn with her, ami it appeured lhat Whitfield became jealous uud resolved to put a stop lo il. He placed his powder and fuse accordingly ami about one o'clock iu the morning it exploded. It tore up the lloor of the shack, uml lhe rucks blown up frum uiiderneulh wore lodged iu the ceiling, bul llulc wus untouched. Whillicld had no counsel, nor. did nr have any definite statement lo make iu his owu defence. Aa he was uuruprc- scntcd, Mr. A. I). Tuylor, K.O., erown prosecutor, did nut address thc jury against bim, while Mr. Justice llrcgury ulso protected his interests iu eiaui ination. No sooner wus Whitfield found guilty and rcmandeil fur trial till the cud uf the assizes, than anulhcr Nurlh Van couvcr case wus called. It was that of David llreenwood, charged with shoot ing with intent to kill Marcus tlrogum in a shuck on Muhon avenue an Junu ary 11. As developed from thc evidence il seemed that Greenwood, ttrogum aud a young iiiiiii uiiiiilii Lung hud been driukiug together in the shack that night. Just how thc, shooting occur red was not very definite, but lute at night lbc police were culled ami (Iru gum was found lying on Ihe lluor with a bullet wound in his neck. He charged (irccnwooil with the shooting. Dr. McManc, whu waa called, stated that jl was a wonder lhat tlrogum escaped with hia life, aa the woond wus near Ihe jugular vein and aiming a network of arteries. Inul been uppiuiielied in the bar of the Palace hotel with this petition to sign, I'liiiiiiiiMii.iiii'i Bill declared that there seemed to be something myster- inin. about tho petition, ami when he luppprted a petition, for a bottle licence in tbis cily bo must be convinced thut tbu application and tbe maimer in s.liis-li the petitiou was siguod wus straight uud abovo board.

The board wns asked to allow u withdrawal but this wus alau refus od.

In making the motion to tbo above effect Councillor Mathers stated thai the council felt that in thu various sites submitted, they had beon privileged to choose between the vory best sites whicii the district afforded. In selecting the sito decided upon, the coun cil thought that it was the most accessible for the present centre of population and that at the end of throe years the council would be iu a position to decide more satisfactorily upon the permanent site for the municipal ecu tre. In submitting the resolution Beeve Nelson stated thai the couucil had traversed the district before choosiug the site. Tbey had visited every site offered ami had given tbo matter most careful consideration. While he had nut agreed with the docisiou of thc committee, ho bowed willingly to the opinion of the majority of thc council. A minium.nn. vote of thanks was pussed to all who had submitted sites for the cunsiilcratiou of the council, lu connection with whicii tho reeve remarked that the ratepayers who had offered sites free, had set a striking example to those property owners who wished to make the district pay the last dollar fur each piece of proporty which might be required for roadways or for other muiiicipll purposes.
