ON NORTH SHORE i COQUITLAM The ubove map purports to be uu exact copy of tho route map submitted by the Hun idiun I".■. ■ j■ - Hallway to ihe Minister of. Hallways for his approval as Ihe general route of that railway for their new brunch line along the Norlh Shore. The engineer's depart- monl of Ihe 0. P. H. nl Vuiicoiiver declines lo verify Ihe map saying that il did not emanate from that source. Ho fur us the local department is cun eorncd Ihey know that preliminary .surveys have been etimpleled at fur wisi, us Seymour Indian reserve and a rough sketch of thai survey has been mude, but n<^.Jt||yjj[ljjil(ft"7r"auy further operations is in their possession, The route map whieh waa submitted to Ihe Minister of Hallway! evidently emanated from lhe Montreal oflires of lhe t!. P. II Several copies of this map were sent west to ollieiul bodies, Midi us'the city council nnd the din Iriet council, anil these copies Were duly signed hy the ollieialg of the railway company. Al the same lime, My. orajtorivato citizens auccoodoil in pro- curiii(R(«iiics of the map of which the above iitwiofjujavliun. The map tallies closely wilh the official copies received by the public bodies referred lo and may therefore be accepted as uu accurate representation of the map laid before lhe minister. Its main lines likowise conform to the' lines be ing laid down by tbe U, P. II. survey parlies according to the opinion of lo nl citizens who have gone over lbc ground and have carefully followed the surveyor's stakeB. In gauging the ruute from the ubove map, it should lie home in mind thut the scule Is a Wry small one, namely one mile to the inch and that u hnsly glance may lend lo wrong impressions. While the routo appears lo follow the waterfront very closely, in reality the line iH shewn at a uniform distance of three or four hundred feel buck from the waterfront. In two instances, namely in the vicinity of the uioulh of I.inn und Seymour creeks aud in I lhe vicinity of tbo mouth of Ihe Capilano river, il moves buck fully ono milu from Ihe waterfront. At three 'points after crossing North Arm the lino actually touches the wuterfroiil, iii'iio'lv ut Moodyville, al u,point iu I). 1.. 208, immediately west of Ihe oity I boundary und ut u point on Knglisli 'Hay iu II. I,. 855, evidently ut ur aboul ■ llumluravc. i It is impossible frum u general map of lhe mu.in uf the above, to locale the route with reference to details. In **ILewy*7* usinuch us the uet gives n right of deviation for dllll fool on eilher side of the centre line, it is very dilllcull to tell just where Ihe line will be located wilh reference lo any subdivisions or blocks nnd it is likewise impossible to tell whether, in certain instance! the line will utilize roads or streets' or whether il will follow u sepurule right uf way. These particulars wil| be oh- luiniilile only ufler the locution map has lieen drawn from liual surveys and liled showing details of the route. T GOVERNMENT'S RAILWAY POLICY Subsidy for Peace River Road via North Vancouver, Howe Sound and Pemberton— Agreement Already Made with Foley, Welch h Stewart—-Second Narrows Bridge Part v of Scheme Victoria, Feb. 20, 1912. "Principal item of Government's Railway policy ilus after- "nooii will be guarantee of bonds for $35,000 a mile lo Foley, "Welch and Stewart for line from Norlh Vancouver via Howe "Sound and Pemberton, lo Fori George, looking lo ultimate ex- "tension to Peace Biver connection of Vancouver by Second "Narrows Bridge. The terms of the contract lo be die same "as in the case of the Canadian Northern Railway. Also Canadian Northern bonds to be guaranteed for a line of railway "from Kamloops to Vernon and for lhe extension of the Bark- "Icy Sound line to Slralhcona Parl£ • Arrangements arc like- "wise contemplated by lhe bill for lhe extension of the Canadian Pacific" Railway on Vancouver island norlh as far "as Comox. Provision is made for lhe repurchase from lhe "Columbia and Western railvyay of one million dollars worth "of land al forty cenls per acre. Finally, the Kaslo and Slocan "railway for many yea,rs in disuse, is to be repaired and operated." The above forecast of the new railway bill which Premier McBride will introduce this aflernoon in the house at Victoria is provided the Express from lhe mosl authentic sources and may be accepted as accurate and correct. Tlie significance of the terms of the bill as to tlie benefits accruing therefrom (o Nord) Vanrouver cannot well be exaggerated. In fad lhe bill throws wide the gateway that leads to the realization of the most sanguine anticipations which have been entertained or expressed by those who have al all limes taken the most optimistic new of the future of the North Shore, Immediate and ultimate benefits of the most gratifying nature may confidently be expected to follow die enactment of this government measure. City Debentures Sold Telegram From Mayor McNeish Be coived YceUrday l> A telegram was received yesterday at the city hall from Mayor McNeish slating "Have closed the deal for the sale of all cily debentures." Thit signifies that Iho i'iilim which tbe city decided to raise last month bas been realized, It will he remembered that the council passed eleven by laws the abovo total amount being made up SJ follows: School liy law, HUW); Waterworks by low, *125,0(M; Kite I .nl"' rosorvoir by law, tl 0,01)0; Streets Maintenance bylaw, HnfiOO; lerry subway bylaw, *J5/|iW; «ro Jirigado bylaw, *2li/)0()j cemetery improvement bylaw »5,000; lanes by-law ItflW); i^heftterflold avenue wharf, ♦PI.OOO; parka by-law, #JC,0W; Horticultural society by-law, ♦11,000.

From the way in which the committee couched its decision it would appear more like-a year's postponement than un utter rejection. Their stand was that the matter had nol been thoroughly digested, that they would consider it further, thai if il w'as good for oun munlrlpalily it should be for olhers, ami if they decided thai the principle was sound iu another year it nt ghi be adupled iii the Municipal Clauses Ad. Thi1 only troublf nbout tlrir policy is that no one knows what lu.d of legislature or private bill.-. committee auolher year may bring forth. Of course it it still possible thai some of the work of the committee may be revised by Ibe legislature wheu the hills appear before it, but Ihis is hardly likely to be done to un; 'iilcnl ll appears to be an unwritten law Ibal the work of the standing committees shall bu. iuti'ifuri'l wilh as little as possible.

The largest deputation to interview the government during lhe pusl tvnel, was the one from the 11. ('. Local Up lion League. They did not ask ful lo. nl option in a prohibitive so mueli aa in a restrictive sense. They consid erod that in some places Ihere were loo many licences and Ihey shoulil be reduced, Thoy also asked for u re strietiou of open hours for burs lo from 6 a.m. tu II a.m. Their viowi were well presented by Mr. II.

Hut he did show that their representation!- had borne good fruit in the more stringent enforcement of existing lints und further evidence of this wus giv en when ou the following duy Allot ney (ieneral Bowser brought down amendments to his liquor acl, strength cuing its already item provisions, uml hedging the intenlicted persou with greater security from temptation than has enjoyed in lbe pust. A lurge number of bills of eu amend iug nnt ure have been brought donn luring the week. A few of these may be of interest, and are here briefly upilulutcil. Hon, Mr. Hots' amendment to the land ml provides for lhe appointment if preemption inspectors with gener ul powers; for power to resorte\ lauds where there is a dispute lie tween two applicants for it; and lo classify as first class lands any Ibal may be considered til for agriculture.

Tin!- was in ail e necessary owing lo a mistake in the revision of-the aet a year ago, whMi an amendment lo give municipalise, power to do this work without a ol per cent, petition was by mistalte ,'i.siis i oil lhe wrong section in Ihe bill. The attorney general hus also inirn -lmnl a lull to amend the provincial elections act. II provides Ibal lbe registrar of voters for llicbmoud shall take the names of voters in Hastings townsite ami District I.ol ,'IUI/ off Ins list, uiul lliul they shull be placed on tbe Vaueouver list.

The proceeding! for lhe week huve been on the whole of a rather pcrfunc tory nature, and thi' monotony of rou tine has been disturbed only by i|ti Of easioiisl display of pyrotechnics by Mr. Hiiwihoriilhwiiiie, ,»h„se menial but teries seem to general e a great deal of electricity, ilis tilt wilh Ihe spt(ak er over tin' presence of strangers on the fioor was characteristic, but il proved harmless as summer lightning and Ibe Inn •ujeatf of the member for Nanaimo was squelched effectually by a vote of thU House. In addition lo his pyroie, liny he also proved himself ■ rather skilful political gymnast when dealing with the Asiatic question. He Intimated lhat Hoeialists would have no objection to the admission of Orientals, and wheu cornered aboul il by Mr. Hrewster, ho said he was speak ng ouly of Ihe ideal state of interna liooul i'o operation that would exist If the JUocieliit had world wide power.

PROVINCIAL BAILWAY OHAETEBS The recent decision nf the provincial governmeut not to consider any further applications for estension of time under railway charters will meet with general approval. The number of prlyate companies holding railway charters which have failed to comply with the terms of their charter aB to commencement of construction operations has been vory large hitherto iu proportion to the number of charters issued. The practice of couipaniustw defaulting with respect to the time clause has been to make application for extension of time under their charter by means of a private bill, thus keeping their charter in undisputed force and effect. Two such instances came before the house last week. In both Instances the private bills were rejected, but provision was made for reasonable treatment of these particular companies by means of an amendment to the provincial railway acl. The government however, took occasion to announce thai in future no '■Hsll applications will he considered. II, n.i innl. such proceedings must be carried on under the Jtailway Act. That is, if a company holding a rail - 'way charter fails to comply with tbe lerins of its charter with respect to the time clauses, ils charier lapses and in order tp retain possession of its privileges it will lie necessary for such 1 a company to reorganize and to apply for a now charter under the Ilailway Act, iu which event any other com i .ha has of course, au eipial right to apply for a charter covering Ihe same mute. Uuder lhe obi method, a railway nimpaiiy might succeed in holding pus session of valuable railway privileges fur an Indefinite period without any intention of actually const nut ing or op erating any line of railway, but for the sole purpose of monopolizing certain rights and privileges until sui-TT liiiie as the owners were able to make u profitable sale of Iheir charier. The provincial railway act is credited by Ihoso most familiar wiih its workings .'. ill. having done a great deal lo slop this speculation in railway char t.rs and there is certainly good ground I., conclude that the procedure now laid down by lhe government will prac 11, ally abolish that unjustifiable prac ine, as for provincial charters. The move is one which will ter taiuly accomplish a great deal for the protection of public interests in the matter of railway privileges. Any company which procures a charter wit It l,ui.a fide intentions In build and up cruto u ruilway and which carries I hose intentions into effect at the car l„st possible date, becomes an import ant factor in the development of the province and is worthy of every en ,uiiragemcnl. On Ihe other hand lhe proi urii»!< of « railway charter by a Miinpaiiy whose real purpose is to hold ll,e same fur purposes of sale only is un attempt to exploit the public for personal gain. II is wrong in principle un.I harmful iu practice and its abso Inle abolishment not only iu provincial • irilee, bul throughout the entire Do nmiion will mark a distinct forward step ili legislation iu the interests of Ihe people. TUB BIOHTS OF THB INDIAN There is nn organization in Hrilish Columbia known as "Friends of the Ji,slump" which has been making itself particularly active with reference to agitating for the protection of the Indian population in the rights which this society alleges belong to the In dian with reference to the reserves which have been set aside for their occupancy throughout the province, and )n otber respects. Tbe representatives of this organize lion, recently had an interview with l'remier Mcllride during wbicb tbey slated their position with reference i., ibe Indian and his rights. Tbe reply of the premier made it perfectly clear lhat it was the intention of tbe government lo exercise every precaution lo sec that the Indians of tbe province are given every fair consideration but (hat it wu not tlie intention in pro i.'culing that policy to sacrifice any of Ih* rights of the white race which owu tb* province. It is set for a moment to be doubt ed tbat tb* .people of Hrilish Columbia tmite tint tin aboriginal population iball he treated witb absolute fairness and with broad liberality in all re spouts, but there is no evidence Hint they are in favor of accepting for guidance any far fetched theories or any purely sentimental collaborations in this matter. Any reasonable and sane interpretation of the rights of the In diau wuulil meet with hearty accept unco at the hands of the citizenship hut any strained construction of the situation to make in their favor would meet witb prompt rejection. The Indians held undisputed posses sion of this land fur many centuries previous to the arrival of the white man. During all Ihuse centuries tbey utterly failed to develop to any poreep tihlu degree its magnificent latent re sources. Notwithstanding his uni|ues tinned sway, the best the Indian could" do was to perpetuate tbe existence of the country as a howling wilderness As some one has said, the utmost efforts of the Indian succeeded only in extWtiug iu the presence af fat ulous resources from tbe forests i canoe, from she earth a flint and from his i.mi.nu,.lm." ■ ;i picturesque form of speech. Under i i... - conditions it was as necessary as il wbs Inevitable that the possession of ilu.. n, I, heritage should in due time pass fitim the pus session of those who had |ihiven ut terly incapable in themselves »/ ils development and that it should Nji come the possession of a race wb would develop its latent possibilities in the interests of mankind. The only respcei, therefore, in which the coming of the white man clashed with the rights of the Indian was wilh reference to that which the Indian had proven himself capable of procuring out of Iiis surroundings, such as the right to procure food and raiment, Ilu right to roam through the jund, the right lo ajplura to pitch his lent, and to a place to bury bis dead. In any particular in which lhe coming of tin white man interfered with such privil •■;•."■ bs tlw Indian actually exercised it was incumbent upon the Caucasian lo give a fair equivalent to tbe Aluir iginal. It would be utterly fantastic however to hold that the white man should account lo the Indian for thai which the while man alonu by his in genuiiy and industry was able tu cause the country to yield. It is likewise very difficult lo perceive in what man ner the Indian is justly entitled tu any claim upon llic benefits which hate re suited exclusively frum the efforts of the white man since his arrival in the country. Notwithstanding the won derful strides of progress which have been made, the country were yet a howling wilderness had il been left to the will and the devices of the In dian. Broadly speaking, il is Incumbent up ou the Caucasian to provide the Indian with the nearest possible equivalent to what the country would have been worth to lhe Indian, had be remained iu undisputed possession. An effort lo accomplish Ihis purpose must however be prosecuted iu bar inony with certain fundamental facts such as: 1—The changed conditions must necessarily affect the character of the equivalent which is available lo the Indians; 2—Tho equivalent must be uf such a nature as to adapt itself to modem progress and to pre vent the Indian from impeding the development o' tbe rountry according to the methods of modern civiliia tion; .1—The equivalent should be de signed as far as possible to protect tbe Indian from bis proven tendency to acquire the vires of the Caucasian while rejecting his virtues. Auy argument thai would lead In Ihe conclusion lhat tho Indians have "a |,iiiiiin.,iiiil title to evety square foot of land in British Columbia, which tbey bave not formally ceeded to tho crown" is, aa the Victoria Colonist re marks, preposterous. The' expediency of having recourse to tbe court* for a decision upon questions which may be mooted bet wbicb must find aome means of adapting thcuiselvos to tbe practical requirements of tho onward march of development is more than doubtful. The practical importance of tbe quo* tion as to whether the reversionary rights in the reserve* shall belong to the Dominion or th* provincial government, is at lust but a negligible quantity with relation to tb* rights of'the Indian. While tjher* doubtless exists every disposition to place a most liberal con- itructioe on tb* question of the rights Of the Indian, those rights must nevertheless find mesne of adapting themselves in inch a way t'o the demands that may arise, tbat tbey shull not cnnatituta.au.ubatructinn-to tha pru grew and thu development of tbe pro-' Vince or nt any rnniiiiunily therein ill any particular.

"Nice, bright sleuth, you," commented he, mockingly; "can't you see through a grindstone whon there's a hole In 117 Nlow, looky here, Bwlft; ' old Page kept tho replica In tbe box as a blind; Ibis cryptogram tell* whore Iho real ruby Is.'' I shrugged my shoulders; tbo Idua "I did not make the assertion from Breen m one end of the big library the performance pf the not Itself," said table. As I did so I observed that Mr. j Maillot at length, with a great show Fluette was taking stock of me wllh a I'd ui nidi ".'.'ini' look. I rocognlied In* h|s regard, surreptitious aa It v/pt, lhat quality which la accustomed tn estimating and Judging tho characters of other men,—usually with unerring exactness, I fancied,—but I affected to appear unconscious of the fact lhat he was noticing mo at all. Alexander Burke was lhe socond witness, ills testimony did not vary from his"already familiar story, and after the deputy-coronor had put all the Interrogations ho could Ihlnk of, I begun lo prompt llic energetic and shrewd examiner. Thenceforward tlio whilom secretary's examination proceeded a* follows: "Did Mr. Page havo a revolvor?" "Yes. Bul II Is now In my possession. More than a week ago I wqB engaged wllh'Mr. Page bore until a lalo hour, It was necessary for me io go lo his tillleu io procure some papers; It mm iinm eleven, and ho hendetl mo his pistol. 1 forgot to return It." So much for the pistol. The weapon was Immaterial, "In pursuance of your duties ua Mr, Pago's confidential clerk, Mr. Burke, you had occasion quite frequently to come hero lo the lipuse, did you not?" "Not frequently—somollmos." "Were you familiar with his habits aboul Ihe house?" "I suppose so^yce." "Which rooms did Mr. Page uso iho oftcnesl?" This one- and his bedroom. Ho scarcely ever entered any of lhe olher " '"' ■»"»■"•■• i \"°'"°" 'rooms—seldom ascended the stairs was by no means novel. But It did | nu„,„ „,„„i,i „„.. , .„. not make mutters uny clearer. How would you account for Iho door-hinges on all Ihree doors heiwocn of deliberation. A man can't be utterly hardened who can quia another at such a lime. "I advanced It aa tbe most likely theory by whlcb to account for all of his action* during tbe time I waited here In the library, explaining tbe antecedent accurenge with knowledge subsequently acquired. Do 1 make myself perfectly clour?" The Inquisitive Juror stared a moment, then subsided. Dr. De Bre*n turned lo mo, with a broo.d grin. "That all?" be whispered. I nodded. "Ut tbe axe fall; I'm curious lo sen what effect It will have." Everybody's attention was abruptly diverted by Oenovlove Cooper, Wllb-if] out a word lo any oue, ahe rose precipitately, glided noiselessly acroii tbe mum lo the alcovo, and disappeared behind the curtains.

It might have been a wiser course .hail Mr. Campbell confined his introduction tu tlio somewhat irregular verse 'from which w» have quoted, rather than given us the twenty pages of scolding about tin decadence of the race, and in hnliliiiji up systems of religion and governments of former days as higher uml hotter than are to be found today. Is it cor red to .lc. int.'. for instance, as Mr. i'iiin|.|ii II docs, that former writers un Hcotsmcn uml Sootlnni) have dcull nni the subjects in a shallow, childish.and claptrap manner!

The records so care fully,, on the whole, aud so laboriously liruuglil together in Ihis volume and put within the reach ,i ull Canadians will become invaluable os llic years go by. In tho chapters dealing more extlucively with Hcolsmeii in Canada, Mr. Campbell is in his happiest vein. 11 is noticeable that the biographical sketches of Hcolsmeii, many uf whom are still living iu Canada or Britain, and many others whose ijeuths are uf comparatively recent dale, all seem I. contradict Die whole tenor of the intro ductory chapters. The volumo wil live, and will be welcomed because of its very many valuable features, and for Hie careful compilation nmi re search thul. its publication represents, "It is the great man who points out the way, but facile and palii ul follow ers alsu no doubt work fur humanity." The anlhor of this paragraph, I'rof Bryce, has already given to tho world sovo/al, excellent volumes on Canadian affairs, so Dial the reader lakes up the second volume of "The Scotsman iu Canada," expecting very interesting reading and is not disappointed. It is perhaps-an error of arrangement Dial I'rof. Bryce as well as Mr. Csmnhsll had lo write rather long introductions dealing wilh prehistoric as well as wilh historic Hcollaiid. The aulhors, how ver, deal with the subject from such differing standpoints that there are but fow repetitions, lu this volume I'rof. Bryce deals largely wilh the Hcola- man in Manitoba, Alberta, HusliatchV wan, British Columbia ami the Torri loin's, while Mr. Campbell's vnluine is practically confined to Nova Hcotia, i'rinco Edward Island, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. Beginning with tbe advent of tbe Orkney man in Prince Itupert's Land, Professor Bryce traces the Scotsman's trials and romantic story iu Canada's great west lands and tel|s how bis influence sbkped and moulded the des tinies of the Dominion. ,The biographies, a* far a* known of these venturesome Scotsmen, who came to the West largely In tbe early yeara as Hudson's Bay Company servants, is told Hiimiiliiiics by the mil hor ill a few lipes, but Into wull wtmt~t|ip tliouglit- fol reader ean put a life story of during ,ul' adventure and always of sterling honesty and faithful dealing with the natives, uutil, ut ono writer has aaid, "to wear a Scotch bonnet in this lone laml is to be made welcome by every Indian c»mp-firo," Today, the author points out, the Scotsmen or descendants of Scots aro loaders' iu the great religious bodies of the West, prominont in tcacbilig agriculture, literature, engineering, railway muniigo. munt, finance, and even politics, The Wholo volumo is, like thu purely historical and biographical parts of Mr. Campbell's volumes, full of records aud fads whicii will become ecb year more favorable.—Toronto fllobo.

The tjuustion wus laid over until the mayors return from tho casl. Mr. .lumes Firth called uttuulion lu the condition of the dump ul thu suuth end of St. Duvid's rood, lhe said dump being mude up of rubbish nf all kinds likely to be injurious to health. The inultl-r was referred to lhe health committee. Mr. i il.

McDougall Jenkins, Engineers, Ud., eouiplained of being most seriously in convciiieiicel by the closing of Ores- ' eut street by the contractors who are excavating for the sewers. The firm has in band at the moment contract ^amounting to $10,000 which have to be completed under penalty in one month.

Both requests wore referred tp the.Board of Vfntkt. AAA. Dick was surprised tbet there wus no communication from the O. p. P. with reference to the aubway on the Vancouver side. He had noticed in the papers that Mr. rulers, the usst. vice-president of the O. P. K., had been in Vancouver for the last two or three days, and .(hat the subway question was one of the reasons of hia visit. It was strange that the council had heard nothing from bim if that wub the case, Vancouver' bad played quite a secondary part in the matter. It was Nortb Vancouver that had brought it before tbe railway commissioners and pushed It in overy way. Why wae North Vancouvor being left outt Some thing ought to he done about thia. Aid. Irwin asked if the committeo appointed in this connection could uot get tho necessary information! Aid. Dick contended that the mat ter should have boen placed before the council and not in the newspapers Aid, Irwin suggested writing to Mr. Peters expressing desire for an inter view- «, It was eventually settled that Hit committee should take the matter up and see what could be done Tenders wero then considered for the sinking of the sewer on 1st street be twecn St. Patrick's and Bt. David'a Four companies tendered, theso being Leiliiighiim &- Cooper, $8,058; Kennedy llros., $7590; Thompson k Stuart $5489.60. and J. Shumm, $8,434. The lender of Thompson and Stewart was accepted The parks committee reronimended that lend, ra be called for the opening up of Jones avenue to the military line and that the equipment and poles of the wireless station be removed on the expiration of the contract. Aid. Fore man stated lhat he understood the contract had already lapsed The water committee recommended that the district municipality be bill ed for $9 per house iu settlement for water supplied to 176 houses in Lynn Valley ami 40 houses in Tl. h. 66.1. II was suggested that should tin municipality fail to mail this bill the water be shut off. Aid. Foreman quea tinned whether the lowest rate should be imposed under Ibe circumstances. Aid. Irwin did nut consider the charge loo low. II was certainly th in in nn inn rale charged in the city. He thought thut the city and district should deal wit h one auotiier in a considerate manner The rcpurt uf the finance committee lu the .llii I that deeds should be obtained for all property expropriated by tbe city or at present in the possession of the rity, was adopted. The fire and light committee recommended that tenders be called for the supplying of a motor .chemical combination hose wagon lo Ihe local depart ment. Thai tenders must be in the builds of the city clerk by March ISth II wus decided to mention in lhe noli Hcation tu lenders the rough roads and grades of the city Aid. Irwin said the committee had entertained tlm idea of ordering two engines, but had decided to wail a little while before getting a second. Omul any rate should be procured before the advent of the dry season, Aid. Foreman, the chairman of the Wasting Committee, merely had to re port thai tbey had taken up the que* lion of blasting with the chief of police, who would see Ihul lhe blasting bylaw was carried out The question of a local bathing beach was then introduced and briefly touched upon. Aid, Dick considered that it wai a matter whioh shwld be tokm up »' onoe U..they.int«aei.hMii»gJUl»tk ing beaelf for the coming season. Aid. Irwin thougbt it jiit going to mean p considerable expense as dressing rooms end other conveniences would havu tp bo supplied. Aid. Foremen dirt not favor the proposition at all unless they could get » ItMl.at the Ipeatjoe |n question. The acting -major thought tho matter ahould ho taken up at any rate. Bis Worship had also been deputed by the forry board to inquire as to the feasibility of getting tho cars further down to the wharf. The question was relegated to tho Hoard of Work*. The acting-mayor further inquired as to fim advisability, pf Ruing a date for the forthcoming juini meeting of municipalities ill Nurth Vancouver. Aid. Irwin suggested that if there Is time available after the disposal of tho go* franchise at the special meeting they might discuss tho mat tors to lie brought before tho conference—matters of joint inlerest to tho municipalities. Mr. Clark of 18th and Williams, addressed the council in person on tho necessity of access to hia house by sidewalk. His-past troubles in this ounection had culminated recently in his family having fallen iuto a ditch The council promised tho matter at tention and referred the request to the Board of Works. Aid. Irwin sought information as to the accuracy of the rumor that the 0. P. B. bad already done a mile of grading on the north shore anil had got part of their property fenced In The acting mayor said ho had no official information in this connection Close to C. P. R.
