O, FRIDAY, MAY 7th, 1915. All Parties United in the Municipal Campaign - Neil Gething For Mayor The citizens and friends of Porter's platform or lack of con- Prince (leorge anxious for a clean and progressive administration of its civic affairs, were decidedly encouraged this week by the various movements that brought about the selection of one candidate for Mayor opposed to W. G. Gillet From doubt as to the outcome by reason of the splitting up of thc vote among three lidence in him, but, we feel, was largely due to his not being well enough known. Mr. Porter, unlike other candidates, has not been prominently associated in the work of the city and its preliminary plans and ideals and therefore was under the handi- j cap of not being so well acquainted. We feel sure that had he candidates, Lo confidence in the!been as actively and freely asso- election of Neil Gething and the'ciatod with the past history of candidates for aldermen w ho j the city as some of the other men Mr. N.

The securing of a loan from the GoveWKOnt for improvements. 4. A moral and orderly city. 5. Exemption of taxation on improvements. 6.

Fair distribution of appropriations to each district in the city. 11.

This happy condition was brought about by Messrs Porter, Ellis and Gething and a number of representatives from the supporters of each getting together last Saturday night. Realizing that none of them could be elected if they remained divided, they agreed to test the strength of each candidate by a vote in the most thickly settled business section of George Street, each agreeing to abide by the result and to support the winner. Neil Gething was the choice, and Ellis and Porter ever since have worked hard for his success, realizing this was the only way to secure a united, progressive, clean administration of the city's affairs, A meeting was held Monday night by the supporters of these spoken of, so that the people would have known of his sterling worth and character, the result might have been all that his fol-1 lowers desired.

The Government Agent has been authorized to impose such conditions as he may consider advisable, and, in the opinion of the Minister, the scheme outlined by you should be given a very fair trial during the year 1915. You are at liberty, if you care to do so, to make ibe announcement that persons desiring to cultivate vacant Crown Lots may secure permission to do so upon application to the Government Agent. 1 have the honor to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, R. A. Renwick, Deputy Minister of Lands At a meeting of the citizens! to it that facilities are rendered held Wednesday night, a fullI'Mthe public that will make it ticket was selected of six aMfavjw men, all of them endorsing the station site at George Street and otherwise standing on the platform of the Head of the ticket. The six candidates endorsed for election by the people are J. T. Armstrong, F. G. Brynolson, H. Parks, T. L. Adams, John B. Lambert and E. Livingstone. The Herald is of the opinion, with many others interested in the municipal outcome, that no stronger combination could have been selected to entrust the affairs of the city at this time. The several candidates spoke on the questions of the hour and deeply impressed the citizens with their sincerity and conscientious ideas on the welfare of the future city. All of the candidates are young men, representing every portion of the town and every line of thought and endeavor within the incorporated area. We also feel that they will safelv handle the interests The aldermen selected encourage the support of the electorate because of their character and clean record as business men and citizens of the district. Mr. Armstrong has been a hard fighter for the present incorporated area and for the station site at George Street. His has been an intelligent, conscientious effort in the people's interests. His every appearance in public, and to those who know him in private or business relations speak of him highly as well worthy of the confidence of the voters. A real estate man, he has ever been on the constructive side of public matters, Mr. Brynolson, of the Cookson Plumbing & Heating Co., is a young man that has produced a good impression, and unmistake- ably did so in his few words of address to the meeting Wednesday night. He looks far into the future for industrial development of this city, and speaks on the of properly anil business repre- subject with knowledge and abil- senled in the new city but not entitled to a vole. Keen disappointment was fell that Mr. Poller would not allow ' his name to be voted on for an alderman, as his previous experience and well known reliability would have been of immense value. But for reasons best known to himself be would not permit it, although repeatedly urged. The reason for Gething's selection over Mr. Porter at the test vote was not because of Mr. Mr. W. G. Gillett s Platform. 1. The immediate installation of sufficient fire protection for the business section of Prince George. 2. The inauguration of a permanent water system for domestic consumption and for lire protection, funds for which are to be provided by the sale of bonds as soon as the same can be approved by the property owners. 3. The immediate grading of George Street to a permanent grade, and the building of suitable sidewalks thereon from the railway to Coniipught- Hill, and the grading and opening up and the building of sidewalks on all streets that will be of the greatest benefit to the citizens generally. 4. Encouragement of the establishment of a wholesale and warehouse district with proper street and trackage facilities 5. The building of two public schools and a high school, and asking the government to furnish the necessary funds for the two public schools, as recommended by the Superintendent of Education previous to incorporation. 6. Public ownership of public utilities, including water, light & power. 7. Exemption from taxation of all improvements. 8. Thc insistence of an early building of a railway station for the City, regardless of location. 9. The name of the City to be Prince George. 10. The payment of union scale of wages for all city work whether done under contract or otherwise. 11. All city work to be done by residents of Prince George in preference to out-siders. 12. Fair distribution in the purchase of all supplies. 18, A clean and orderly city. 14. The building of a City Hall, Police and Fire Hall combined, on a site to be chosen by the rate-payers. 16. To ask the Dominion Government to erect a permanent Post Office and Customs Office building. 16. To assist in the establishing of a City Hospital. 17. To ask the Provincial Government to erect a Court House and a Land Registry Oflice in the City to meet the requirements of the district. 18. To secure all lands now set apart for Park purposes to become the property of the City for Parks and Recreation Grounds. Price Five Cents J Cost of Opening Up the Station Site at Oak-Ash Street - Estimate of P. J. Kelly That the action of Railway Commissioners Scott and Goodeve in acceding to the Fort (leorge interests, the station site at Oak- Ash Street, as against the overwhelming sentimentof the people of the district and Prince (leorge in particular, for a location on the site at (leorge Street, is to saddle on the tax payers a large expense as set forth time and again by the Herald, is now a matter of expert opinion. The following estimates submitted by P. J. Kelly, for the city, and what it will have to pay for that blunder of the Railway Commission, should imbue the people with mightier wrath than ever against the Railway Commission, and the candidacy of Gillett for mayor, who fought against the (leorge Street site, and in favor of a site that will cost the city a lot of money. The Herald has stated the cost of opening up Oak-Ash Street Depot site will cost approximately $50,000 and it is proven that it will cost that and more. The Railway Commission engineers stated it would cost $12,- (X)0, but it appears they were thinking that the people would be satisfied with a "wagon trail" a cheap get-there-any-old-way approach. No thought was ever given to the ultimate necessary wide thoroughfares, and several of them that time would entail. Engineer Kelly was asked to figure on two approaches, and he places the lowest estimate at Candidate Gillett's Meeting War Notes. ity.

It says, however, that desperate fighting continues. The first gun in the municipal campaign was fired by mayoralty candidate Gillett in the Rex Theatre, on Wednesday evening, Mr. Gillett has carried on a rather spectacular campaign up to the present, and the average citizen was somewhat curious to hear his views on the subject of municipal rule, The speaker was introduced by John Boehner, manager of a local pool hall. Besides Mr. Boehner there were perhaps a dozen of the candidate's supporters arranged in a semi-circle on the platform. In his opening remarks Candidate Gillett sought to impress upon his hearers that he was the real "Moses" to lead the city of Prince George into the golden highway of prosperity. He then took up the various planks of his platform, and in a long speech sought to arouse his audience. Little enthusiasm was manifested however, and it was with a sigh of relief from the assemblage that the speaker concluded his peroration on plank 18, the last of the edifice of promises he had built up. About the only interesting spot in the evening's programme was the presence of Casey Jones, a socialist. Casey wanted to know what rate of wages would be paid the laborer on city work— the "pick-and-shovel stiffs" as he termed them. Candidate Gillett then declared himself for a $...00 a day wage for 9 hours. Another heckler wanted to know why municipal ownership of telephones was not included intlillett's platform. This was evidently a facer for the candidate, and his very lame reply that he did not think a city-owned telephone system would pay, dissappointed many of his avowed supporters. The meeting was concluded rather abruptly by the chairman, and no one even volunteered a cheer for the candidate. 821,225 for the First Avenue, Victoria Street entrance from Third Avenue, and $25,215 for the straight Oak Street to Third Avenue entrance. Neither one of which or both together will be either efficient, or give adequate or proper approaches. The whole matter has been bungled, and made a farce of and in the opinion of the Herald and its readers, opened the Railway Commission to serious condemnation and the feeling of "no confidence" of the public expressed on every hand. Mr. Kelly's estimates are as follows: Estimate of P. J. Kelly, Re. Street Grading, Prince George, B. C, based on grades established by Brett & Hall, the landscape architects, who laid out the Prince George townsite, and also according to profile submitted : Estimate on Grading First Avenue prom Oak and Ash East to Victoria and South on Victoria to Third Anenue. To grade First Avenue from Oak Street east to Victoria and thence south on Victoria to Third Avenue. This will require 20700 cubic yards embankment. For this we have approximately 4000 cubic yards excavation, remainder of fill 16700 cubic yards will have to be borrowed. Only available borrow pit is on First Avenue east of Victoria. And grade lines as shown on Brett & Hall map only allow one half of street to be taken which does not give sufficient yardage to make fill. By changing street grade on Firt Avenne and also on Victoria Street, sufficient yardage could be gotten, but this would lay the city liable for heavy damages to the adjoining property, therefore thin estimate is based on the grades established by the architects. Calculating on two-thirds of the total street yardajje, this will also necessitate a retaining wall being built in centre of street on First Avenue from Victoria to Quebec Street and on Victoria to Second Avenue, at a cost of about $4,000. Remainder of fill would have to be made by train haul at an approximate cost of ($1.00) one dollar per cubic yard. lt would also require one log culvert, 90 feet long which would take 1500 linear feet of logs at 20 cents per foot (this price includes iron drift bolts.) For replacing this temporary log culvert with iron pipe would cost $600. This would make the work cost as follows: Victoria St. Yardage First St. Yardage - 4000 cu. yds. 11100 ,, 15100 ,, 15100 cu. yds. at 75c - - $11,325.00 5600 ,, Borrowed Yardage at $1.00 - - - 5,600.00 Retaining Wall - - - - 4,000.00 Log Culvert 300.00 $21,225.00 Estimate on Grading Oak Street Produced Through to Third Ave. This requires 16400 cubic yards embankment and there is only 3100 cubic yards excavation, and which could be moved for 50 cents per yard. There is no ground nearby to borrow. This grade line is the maximum being 8 per cent, and is governed by grade on Third Avenue. 16400 cubic yards leBS 3100 cubic yards leaves 13300 cubic yards to be borrowed. See no way to make this fill unless material is brought in on train which in place would cost at least $1.25 or $16625.00. One log culvert would also be required 114 feet long which would take 2200 linear feet logs at 20 cents per foot or $440.00 (Cost of replacing In future with iron $700.00) Approximate cost of lots to open up street. Running price of lots at present $3000.00 or $100.00 per foot front. 66 feet at $100.00 per foot is $6600.00. Cost of job would be as follows: $1550.00 16625.00 440.00 6600.00 3100 cubic yards at 50c. - 13300 cubic yards at $1.25 Log Culvert Approximate cost of lot $25215.00 Gstlmats on Grading Ash Street produced through to Third Aevnue:—Ash Street is practically same as Oak and would cost approximately the same $25,000.00. We hope the voters will digest and examine this matter carefully and vote for Gething and the aldermen pledged to fight this raw deal given the people and insist on the station site being at (leorge Street.

MAV ill Who Shall Be First Mayor 1 It is at last fairly up to the voters of Prince George to select the first Mayor and Board of Aldermen. The time is at hand. Candidates and the platforms on which they seek election are before the electorate. The responsibility is now up to the voter. It is a serious opportunity.

Our reasons are many. We believe that Gillett is the representative of the Hammond interests who are after contracts to be awarded and the upbuilding of the western townsite as against Prince George. He has shown himself unreliable by twisting and turning and seeming to bend his sails to every wind that has blown that favored these interests. He is a- gainst the station site at George Street and in favor of the Oak Street site, which means many thousands of dollars taxes to the people of Prince George. The engineers of the Railway Commission stated it would cost $12,- 000 to open up the streets necessary to approach that site. It will cost nearer $50,000 and then will not be efficient. Why should the people pay even $12,000? Mr. Voter, you who own lots and pay taxes, a»k yourself some serious questions. The George Street site needs no expenditure. Vote to save yourself that $12,000 to $.".0,000. Mr. Gillett fought tooth and nail in the interests of the Hammond townsite against Prince < leorge in the Incorporation area. He originally started out in favor of Prince George alone, but heard his masters' voice, and presto - he had to do their bidding. He has imported labor and materials from the Coast for all his contracts and building operations. No lot holder, no laboring man, no business house in the dislrict has had any support from him. What a man is before election he will be after. Mr. Voter, do not let the political expediency, the soft voice of the promis- er, lure you from your best interests. It is one of the tricks of the vote getter. Mr, Voter, can you trust the business sagacity of a man as Mayor of your town who made such a frightful mistake as to invest hi-s backers' money and tie it up in a non-paying venture such as his Princess Theatre at Victoria Street, against the plain, written-all-over-the-wall development in the George Street area? I late on a future they knew noth- room for the city to take in that about> to ,u,.e the people to buy Fort George Water System, at 30 per cent advance on its "problematical" cost. Look out, Mr. Voter, for the jokers. Gillett promises a couple hundred thousand dollars -more or less— if he is elected. What is he going to pay for the money? He with cunningly devised advertising, and now are and have been trying by every device known to mortal brain to stop the progress of the natural city location we are about to launch in the sisterhood of municipalities. Mr. Vo- , _ ter, won't you consider the ques- doesnotsay Does he not know, i tion 8eriou8, and vote accord. Mr Voter, do you not know that | ing,y ?

Better not try the Gillett high finance. Better safe than sorry. Trust the men there still remains a lot lo be done. For instance the lane at the end of your lot may be dirty through ashes from your own garbage can, paper and material may be lying around making the place look disagreeable. A few minutes of your time and the lane is cleaned, your back yard is scraped and a match to the pile incinerates the remains of a dirty back yard. "Clean-up" yes and clean up good. Be proud of your home and your city, and the only way to hold your head up when a neighbor looks into your garden, is to have everything clean, noth- i ing lying around that is not useful. What a difference a few hours of work make ! The unkempt is now clean. The germ of clean- it-up has taken root and the efforts to establish a garden worth having has borne fruit successfully.

In his platform, he says "regardless of location," Don't you remember ery dollar invested. One would think —to hear Mr. (lillett — that millions of dollars were floating about growing on every bush, ready to pour into Prince George for every conceivable thing. He has "employed" already more help several times over than what can possibly be used. In fact, it is stated he has promised the same job to several men at the same time. — Have Post Office Act.

Two working men had exhausted the subject of the war, anil were discussing a big company failure announced in the morning papers. Said the younger ; "1 say, Bill, what are these'ere joint stock companies?" "Well, I'll explain it to yer. You said, "that if the business men of Germany have any weight in the councils of the empire, the war will be continued indefinitely. If the military element in Germany do not realise the economic disadvantages to the country arising from a long war, the business men of Germany will realise them clearly and unmis- takeably. No one is better able to gauge the advantage or disadvantage of a policy pursued by any country than the business men, and it is evident that the business men of Germany are already alive to the consequences to themselves and their country of the war. Moreover they will realise that the longer the war continues the more disastrous will be its results for Germany. Business Men Intervene. ' 'At the time of the Morroccoan conference when the military powers in Germany were apparently bent on war, the business men succeeded in inducing the emperor to preserve peace, and I do not doubt that the increasing economic indications that Germany cannot hope to win will induce the business men to bring all the influence they possess to bear on the governing classes to recognize the facts of the situation and thus minimize the consequences to their country of this war.

Sleeves are almost invariably long and skirts short. The latest wrist bags are small and made of faille silk, Many skirts among the practical types have plaits at the sides. Sleeves are set in the armholes and are long or seven-eighths in length. Grays and tans in light shades are much in evidence in the new suits. Dull gold and metal soutache embroidery is used on chic tailored costumes. Faille silks, gros grains and taffetas are to be the popular materials for pretty frocks. The woman inclined to stoutness is very much favored in the present fashion of long lines. , Covert coatings are among the favorite materials for tailormades and lend themselves delightfully to both flatness and flare in the right places, To make the new wide skirts successfully and give them the necessary flare there must be a certain amount of crispness in the fabrics used for them. Blouses are comfortably loose, but not full, and skirts flare almost to a ripple at the lower edge. Over the hips they fit snugly, and yokes have a prominent place. The pervading tint for fashionable attire this spring is to be green—not a verdant green, but a subtle gray-green redolent of the vernal season and the young growing leaves.

The Boer war lasted two years and nine months. Mr. Lloyd (ieorge said that the character of the ammunition had to be changed in the middle of the war, and to secure supplies sub-contracts were given to between 2500 and 3000 firms. When it was found that they could not keep up the supply, the government took steps to take over all works suitable for the manufacture of munitions. As a result there had been a great increase in the output. If they took the figure of 20, the chanceller said, as the amount of artillery ammunition manufactured in Sept., in October it was 90, in November the same, but in December 156. January 186. in February 256, and in March 388. SUPPLYING ALLIES ALSO. Mr. Lloyd George said that Great Britain was also supplying her Allies with munitions, and that in spite of this there still was a large reserve, The chancellor adhered to his statement that a small minority of workmen could, through drink throw the whole work out of gear. He promised that when the government measure was introduced dealing with this matter it would be found that it had not been approached from the point of view by persons who wished to express any particular notion, but from the point of view of persons who had the object In |. mind--increasing munitions. It was no use saying that there was no more drinking than normally, the speaker said. These were abnormal times and they had to take abnormal measures with an evil which had become abnormal. W?

Canadian banks increased over $4,000,000 in March compared with February, and are approxi-; mately 830,000,000 over March, 1914, according to the bank statement for March, just issued, j This, say bankers, indicates the j frugality of the people of thei Dominion during the war. From a financial viewpoint this j latest statement is taken to reflect the fact that the finances of the country are in a sound state. The fact that the banks are j feeling more confident is shown in the increase of $653,432 in call j loans in Canada, compared with February. There was, however, J $842,989 less loaned in March than in the same month a year j ago. Call loans outside Canada in March of this year were about $44,000,000 less than last year, but were practically §12,000,000 more than in February.

V On Wednesday evening prior | labor can be secured to the meeting' of the citizens of Prince George in Ritts-Kifer Hall to nominate a citizens' slate of six Aldermen, a representative ot the Herald met Mr. Gething and accompanied him to the meeting. The affairs of the city, naturally, were discussed. Mr. Gething brought up the subject of the rate the city ought to pay for labor. He discussed the standing and interest of the working men of the district and unequivically said that having thought the matter out, he was in favor of a minimum wage of $,100 per day of 8 hours.

This we are only too glad to do, as his decision is entirely in accord with our own. Unexpectedly, however, this question was brought up in lhe Citizen's Meeting by candidate Livingston, and in straight, clear, unmistakeable language that rang with truth and conviction, Mr. Gething was ready to answer the question. and other places, The money earned is spent here in the city and is kept in circulation here. Also, he believed that as the people spent their earnings here, in their necessities, their pleasures and their home consumption, in their investments and purchase of homes and lands, here the money should be kept and not sent outside for labor or supplies that could be purchased here.
