SCRAP OVER LOTS PRESIDENT HAYS IS SUED FOR THREE MILLIONS Case now being heard in Vancouver��� ��� Moreton Frewen Claims he was to have had Choice of a Thousand Prince Rupert Lots MUSKEG TROUBLE. WESTENHAVER BROS. AWARDED THEIR CONTRACT BEFORE. New Ruling of the Council they Claim is a Hardship on them.��� Engineer Instructed to take the Matter up with them. A' a result of the council's decision '"permit muskeg and rock dumped on 2Strw 0ll'y t0 a height of three feet WW grade, Westenhaver Bros entered ''Protest and asked the aldermen to WM them some concessions on the P��unds that they had awarded their ��raot under the old rule and the new ����� would mean a lot more expense. inose present were acting Mayor ShAi"'Lyneh' pattuu��-smith- ���Wtch and Dr. Mclntyre. ��plroveTUteS ��f the lMt meeting were m��y& with the mu8ke* Pro" JiUon Mr. Westenhaver, who rbuild- �� the corner of Second, avenue council w .Slreet' addres*>d ^e Perm ; S:l"' he would like t0 ��et yjlonu, dump muskeg on the streets ��P to grade.

Engineer Clements asked if Mr. Westenhaver could not have his men take the stuff across to the deep hole near Second street. The engineer did not think that the muskeg should be allowed to come up higher than three feet from grade. Aid. Mclntyre said that while property owners did not own the streets it must be remembered that all the property owners along the street should have the right to dump immediately in front of their own lots. If one man was allowed to dump all along the street and in front of other properties it would work a hardship on the other owners. Mr. Westenhaver said that he learned in Victoria that muskeg would settle at least one thirdv He did not want to do anything that would interfere with the progress of the city. On the contrary he was doing all he could to build it up. Aid. Pattullo moved that Mr. Westenhaver take the matter up with the city engineer and come to some arrangement to be subject to the approval of the streets, works and property committee. Aid. Mclntyre seconded the motion.���Carried. Speaking to the motion Aid. Hilditch said the engineer should find a place where the muskeg could be dumped by the builders. He claimed it would be cheaper for those people to have the stuff out now than later on when the city starts to build the roads. The engineer was instructed to take the matter up with Mr. Westenhaver at once. Changing the Coronation Oath London, June 18.���Premier Asquith announced today in the House of Commons that he was formulating a bill modifying the coronation oath, eliminating some of the phrases objectionable to Catholica.

Messrs Newman & Burt Bought 110 Feet at the Corner of First Avenue and First Street.���Two Lots in Block 1 9 Section 1 at $10,000 More English capital has been invested in Prince Rupert this week. Chas. Halsey of M. M. Stephens & Co has completed a deal or a series of deals amounting to $42,425. The purchasers are R. L. Newman and Fred J. Burt, of England. Thej are the same capitalists who purchased Helgeron's lots on Second avenue last week at $18,500, thus their total investment in Prince Rupert to date is nearly $70,000. The lots included in todays deals are:- Lots 9, 10, 11 and 12, block 13, section 1 or at the corner of First avenue and First street. This gives them 110 feet on First avenue some of the best wholesale property in the city. It fronts on the harbor, with the G. T. P. yards right at their door. The corner lots 11 12 were owned by G. R. Naden &Co. and lots 9 and 10 were owned by the Atlantic Realty Co of which W. S. Benson is the representative here. The corner lots sold for 20,000 and the other two for $12,425. The same gentleman also purchased through Mr. Halsey two lots in block 19, section 1 for $10,000. This does not represent all the property Messrs. Newman & Burt will hold. They are considering further investments which will be made public in due course. Vancouver, June 21.���The hearing of a suit for three million brought against C. M. Hays, president of the Grand Trunk Pacific, was begun this morning. The suit is brought by More- ton Frewen, a wealthy Englishman, who claims that sum as damages for a breach of agreement which gave him his choice of one thousand Prince Rupert town lots. Mr. Frewen has been here for several days. Mr. Hays arrived from Winnipeg yesterday morning. P. E. Davis is handling the case for the plaintiff and Mr. McPhillips appears for the defence. David H. Hays, local townsite agent for the company, has left town to meet his brother in Vancouver, and nothing is known here of the issues at stake. It is believed the alleged transaction took place either in London or in Montreal. William McKenzie is Specially Added to the Directorate.���All "the Company's Trading Posts and Stores to be Eatonized by Experts. London, June 20. ��� The report of tHe Hudson's Bay Company says that the directors arranged last autumn for Richard Burbidge, managing director of the Harrods Stores, to examine into and report on the condition of the retail stores of the company. His report is receiving the consideration of the governing committee. The retiring directors, Earl of Lichfield and Sir Walter Vaughan-Morgan, do not seek re-election. It is recommended that Vivian Smith, of Morgan Grenfell and company, and Mr. Kindersley, of Lazard and company, be elected to fill their places. Further it is considered in the interest of the company that R. Burbidge and Wm. MacKenzie be also elected directors. Thomas Skinner is to be deputy governor. . Reading between the lines of this statement it is evident the reform party has won and that beneath the surface there has been a strenuous struggle. The election of Skinner as deputy governor means that the administration will be quietly but resolutely modernized. This imperative demand comes from the controlling stockholders. The retail department is especially to be remodelled, to be eatonized and made to produce adequate returns or to be closed altogether. Burbidge is the most progressive of the London board of directors, but changes in the Canadian personnel will be made as the needs of the new policy demand. Vivian and Kindersley especially represent them in control of the majority stock. MacKenzie's elections is capable of several explanations.

Eastbrook Preached two Splendid Sermons to Large Congre'ifa- ��� tions.���Music was Lead by Mrs. Robinson and the Choir. The Baptist church has been established in Prince Rupert. Sunday Rev. Estbrook, of Sumerland, preached the first sermon and marked the establishment of the Congregation here. The Baptists are strong in Prince Rupert and the prospects for a large and influential congregation are very bright. Already the members are looking for a site upon which to erect a church. There are several in view but no decision will be arrived at until a congregational meeting is called and everyone given an opportunity to have a say in the matter. The services yesterday were very bright, Mrs. Robinson presided at the piano and was assisted in the musical part by a small choir. For the time being Mclntyre's hall on Third avenue is being used as a church. Next Sunday Rev. J. W. Litch of Vancouver will take charge of the services.

Harrison returned from Stewart this morning after a visit to a couple 6f the mines there. He reports everything being very favorable. He was in Stewart Mine and the Portland Wonder. On Sunday a resident of the town shot three bears, one black and two brown. These animals are quite numerous in the mining town having come down from the mountains in search of berries and other food and when they hit the camp they hang around for the refuse from the tents and houses. Mr. Harrison says he saw a black bear on Ninth street. He did not have a gun so he did not try conclusions with the hugger. There is a party of mining men in the town representing large financial interests. They are waiting for the prospectors to come down from their new fields before they decide on any movement. As yet only one or two have returned to the ca np and they say the strike is good although it is not free milling gold. The Prince Rupert Dairy!

Tuesday, June 21 LOCAL IMPROVEMENT TAXATION The question of taxation for local improvements now before the city council is one of the most difficult problems requiring their consideration and decision. The principle of raising funds by general tax, local improvement district tax, or frontage tax is practically the same, being merely a difference of limitation or area effected. In either plan it is apportioning the burden, but in the working out of each, details arise which will materially effect the general result. Elsewhere in this issue there is published in full clause 256 of the Municipal clauses act which shows the wide scope the council has in the method of meeting the cost of local improvements. These various plans are permitted for the very obvious reason that all are good for certain classes of work and under certain conditions. For instance the construction of sewers on the frontage plan is best for the reason that only the property using that sewer is benefittea but if the city has gutters . emptying into that sewer then the corporation should contribte to the amount of which the public highway is benefitted. In case of a trunk sewer where some street has a much more expensive sewer than necessary for that one street, in order to carry off the product of branch sewers, then the whole district benefitted should be taxed. In the building of permanent streets the benefit derived takes a different form. The cutting out of a hill on Second Ave., or the filling in of a low spot on Third, the making of a first-class highway on the principal avenues is a direct benefit and convenience to everyone in the city. Naturally a first-class street will enhance the value of a lot fronting upon it but that value is only the result.of the public appreciating the advantage of good roads and sidewalks. The benefit to the property is secondary. Thus it would seem that the general tax for road improvement is the most equitable. The difficulty the city council encounters on the general tax plan is that it is necessary to receive the assent of the electors, after having prepared and published a by-law outlining the scheme. Under the improvement district plan or the frontage plan the work can be done without the assent of the electors but it means that the whole amount must be charged to the property. The city cannot assume a proposition over $15,000 without the assent of the electors. Haste in commencing the permanent street work is most commendable but a good principle should not be satisfied to gain a few weeks' time. The system adopted now will effect the city for a long time but the gain of a month on the commencement of the work will be forgotten before winter. A very important point which should not be over-looked in adopting the plan of taxation is the G. T. P. assessment of upwards of seven millions of dollars. In two or three years when the road is completed this will be lost���the property will be exempt. On the frontage plan of taxation for roads that assessment cannot be reached, and on the district plan only a small portion of it Would be taxed while on the general assessment plan the G. T. P. would pay a big portion of the cost until such time as they become exempt. No person, firm or corporation can better afford to contribute towards the construction of permanent roads here and it will be working no hardship or injustice in getting a good contribution from the company that is getting millions out of local real estate. No doubt the G. T. P. would like to see the frontage tax. COUNCIL HELD SHORT SESSION. Few Small Matters came up and Then Committee Work. A very short session of the council was held last night when a couple of small matters were dealt with. The council then resolved itself into committee of the whole to discuss the local improvement plan with the city solicitor. A communication was received from Premier Laurier acknowledging the mayor's invitation to visit Prince Rupert this summer. He accepted the invitation and stated that while his visit would be short it would be a pleasure for him to come and it was a duty. Local Option Letter D. Spencer, superintendent of the Temperance League in British Columbia, wrote stating that a large committee in Prince Rupert were moving to have the Canada Liquor act acted upon here so that the citizens would have the right to say yes or no as to whether the liquor traffic should be allowed in Prince Rupert. The letter will be acknowledged and this request will be dealt with in due time. Aid. Hilditch moved that the letter be placed on file. He did so because Mr. Spencer expressed the hope that the council would give the people free speech on this question. He considered that clause an insult to the council. A petition was received from residents of Seventh avenue asking the council to plank the road on Seventh avenue from Fulton street to McBride street.���Referred to the streets committee. The finance and assessment com mittee reported recommending that accounts amounting to $54 be paid.��� Carried. The council then went into committee on the local improvement system. PERSONAL James H.

II, ,,,:, :ai meeting of the publicity held in its new quarters the Mining ^elation Exchange last night, was til attended and the members showed enlivened interest in the several Ljeets brought forward for discussion. ��of tin* K'83 the advisability of the b uniting with the board of trade, [���ich was introduced by a letter from ipokanc addressed to Mr. Christie and L by the secretary. This suggested ���hat a boosters" club lacked the digliity Ld force of a board of trade and that in- Lead'of a publicity club, the work of Ihich was a necessity in every live Immunity, ii was advisable for the Lard of trade to have a publicity Bmmittee, By this arrangement there IfOilld be more coni|)lete harmony and two organizations could afford to lay a liberal salary to a man thoroughly lapable as a publicity man as secretary If the board of trade. Several members who are also mem- lers of the Board of Trade at first ���emed to think the suggestion a good |jne, Mr. Stephens, the present secretary f the board, being one who favored it, 8 he thought one secretary could do the kork of both organizations if he demoted his whole time to it. But there |��ere members of the Publicity club, t.H. Clarke, thepresident, among them, hho did not take kindly to the suggestion that the club should be "gobbled, lip" by the board of trade. Furthermore ft was pointed out that not all the members of the club were eligible for membership in the board of trade under |ts incorporation constitution. It was further shown that Prince Rupert had need of both bodies. They tad them in other cities and both gave excellent service, as they did here, but Forked in the public interest on separate lines altogether. They might share the ppense of a paid secretary but should remain separate institutions. Then came up the question of rais- pg the clubs membership dues to the "ame figure as that of the Board of Trade. The president thought it was ��tter to retain their present low dues 1 as to have as large a membership I Possible, as each member became an advertising force ,-��� the community. P��.

At the present moment American settlers are bringing into the country an amount of money which, it is estimated, will amount to $150,000,000 at the end of this year. The investment of American manufacturing capital is increasing as never before. At the same time the imports of American merchandise into Canada are larger than ever. Although American exports to the United Kinddom, Prance, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands decreased during April 1, the exports to Canada increased by one- third. Canadian purchases in the American markets in April amounted to $6,670,920. This clearly shows that a large amount of the American capital brought in by settlers is returned to the United States for the purchase of American goods with which the settler is familiar. At the same time the proportion of this capital which remains in Canada is larger than the proportion of that sent over from England or from the United States for investment in Canadian railways, mines or manufacturing enterprises. In the latter Canadian industry still iB more or less dependent upon foreign machinery. The agriculturist, however, finds it necessary upon settling in the Canadian West to make a large direct expenditure on his land, followed by a considerable out lay for buildings. The American settler particularly is not content, like his forefather to establish himself is a slab sided shack, but must house himself comfortably and permanently. Many persons competent to judge consider this exodus of American capital to Canada to be as important to the United States as gold exportation to England which is so much talked about and to which the stock market frequently seems responsive. The best opinion here is that the money situation this fall in the American Middle West will be rendered even more stringent than usual because of the withdrawal of capita! by Americans settling in Canada. The complaints of Chicago and Minneapolis bankers already have been heard here. The process works out in this way: A prosperous farmer in Minnesota, the Dakotas, Nebraska or some other western state decides to sell his farm and emigrate to Canada. He usually finds a customer in a neighbor. The farmer not only withdraws from his local bank all his cash capital, but his neighbor usually applies to the same bank for a loan with which to make the purchase. Immediately the purchase is paid the emigrant carries the cash to Canada. It has been estimated reliably that every man, woman and child settling in Canada brings into the country on an average of $1000. Since the emigration from the UnitedJStates to the prairie provinces is expected to amount to 150,- 000 persons this year, the flow of capital across the border will be enormous even compared with the direct investment of British Capital in Canada. Mr. William MacKenzie, who, with Mr. Daniel Mann, controls the Canadian Northern Railway', its affiliated steamship lines and many other large more to come.

And notwithstanding any law to the contrary, the Council may assess or levy and collect the said amount so settled or determined, either before or after the commencement or completion of the work, as a special rate or tax in addition to all others upon the land or the real property so to be connected or so connected; and in default of the owner or agent of such land or real property paying such amount within sixty days after demand, the same may be recovered, with costs and expenses connected therewith, in a summary manner from such owner, or by sale of the property. The Council may distribute the payment of the amount assessed or levied under this section over a series of years, as provided in sub-section (17) hereof: (12.) In any case where, in order to afford an outlet for the sewerage and drainage of land or real property other than that fronting or abutting upon the street in which a main or common sewer is constructed, or shall hereafter be constructed, such main or common sewer is or shall be constructed of a larger capacity than that which is, in the opinion of the Council, required for the efficient sewerage and drainage of the land or real property fronting or abutting upon the street, then, and in every such case, the Council may impose a special assessment and levy a special rate tax upon the other land or other real property benefited, or to be benefited, by the construction of such sewer: (13.) In all cases where a main or common sewer is or shall hereafter be laid in any street or through any lot or land, the Council shall have power to pass a by-law, and thereby to assess, levy and collect a special rate or tax per foot frontage upon the lots(except corner lots)on each side of the portion of the said street, or on the lands on each side of the said main or common sewer, in which or through which the said main or common sewer shall from time to time be laid. In case any of such lots are earner lots, then such corner lots shall only be assessed at one-half the said rates: (14.) The Council may by by-law provide an equitable mode of assessing for local improvements, works and services, corner lots, triangular or other irregular shaped pieces of land situated at the intersections or junctions of streets, having due regard to the situation, value, and superficial area of such lots as compared with adjoining lots and pieces of land assessable for such improvements, works and services, and may charge the amount of any allowance made on any such lot or piece of land on the other land or the real property fronting on the improvements, or assume the saine as a portion of the municipality's share of the work or improvement: (15.) Where the lands on either side of the street, lane, or alley, in the opinion of the Council, are from any cause unfit for building purposes, and the Council deem it inequitable to assess the same for local improvements at as high a rate as the lands fit for building purposes fronting on the said street, lane or alley, the Council shall in all such cases determine in what proportion the cost of any such improvements shall be borne by the lands fit for building purposes and the lands unfit for building purposes on each side of said street, lane or alley, respectively: (16.) Where it shall, in the opinion 1 of the Council, be deemed expedient or necessary to construct or repair bridges or culverts on any street, lane or alley, j or to open up and extend any street, | lane, or alleyfwithln the limits thereof) [ for the more immediate convenience' or benefit of any locality (within such , limits), and if the Council is of opinion that from any cause it is inequitable to I charge the whole of the cost of improvement on the lands fronting thereon, the Council shall determine what lands are benefited by such works or improvements, and the proportion in which the cost thereof shall be assessed against ;the lands so benefited: (17.) In the event of the Council deciding to distribute the payment of the costs of such works over a series of years, they may pass all by-laws necessary for the purpose of borrowing moneys to defray the whole of the expenses thereof (nothwithstanding that the Council may propose to contribute to such expenses by way of allowance rebate or otherwise) upon debentures (called "Local Improvement Debentures") secured by special rates upon the lands or real property (in the opinion of the Council by by-law expressed) benefited by such works; and no such by-law or by-laws shall require the assent of the electors before the final passing thereof. No petition, as required by section 69 hereof, shall be necessary, and the Council may, in order to facilitate the negotiation of any such debentures, declare that the debt or any portion thereof, is further guaranteed by the Corporation at large: 1900, c. 23, s. 33; 1902, c. 52, s. 55. (18.) The total amount of the estimated cost of such proposed works(as herein contemplated)may be assessed, levied, and collected prior to the commencement of the actual work of construction of such works, and the Council may pass all necessary by laws defining the terms, times, and modes of payment thereof and otherwise for the purpose of providing the means of making such assessments, levies, and collections: (19.) In any case where the Council affirms by a two-thirds vote thereof that the constructiong, erecting, or making of any bridge, culvert, embark- ment, or laying, making, enlarging, or prolonging or constructing any common sewer, or connecting any real property with such sewer, or opening, widening, prolonging, constructing or altering, macadamizing, grading, levelling, paving or planking any street, alley, public way, or place, or any sidew.alk, or any bridge forming part of a highway thereon, or curbing and sodding or planting any street, lane, alley, square, or other public place, or reconstructing any work hereby provided for, benefits the municipality at large, and that it would be inequitable to raise the whole cost of such improvement or work by local special assessments, the Council may pass a by-law for borrowing money by the issue of debentures upon the credit of the municipality at large, to provide, as the corporation's share of the cost of such improvement or work, an amount not exceeding one-half of the whole cost thereof; but such by-law shall require the assent of the electors before the final passing thereof; but nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a bar or to prevent the Council from borrowing money upon the credit of the municipality at large to pay the total cost of such work, provided a by-law for that jiurpose receives the assent of the persons entitled to vote upon by-laws for contracting debts: (20.) Provided always, that neither the requirements of a two-thirds vote by section 69 hereof, nor the assent of the electors to the by-law borrowing the whole of the cost or the municipality's share of such improvements or works, shall be necessary where the municipality's share of the cost does not exceed the sum of fifteen thousand dollars. Nothing in this sub-section shall be construed as authorizing an extension of the general debt of the City beyond the amounts fixed by this Act: 1902,c. 52,s. 56. (21.) If in the case of the construction or repair of a bridge or culvert, or the opening up and extension of any street, lane, or alley, the Council shall determine what land or real property, other than that fronting or abutting upon the street, lane, or alley whereon or wherein the i mprovement is made, or to be made, is especially benefited, and ought to be charged with a part of the cost thereof, and shall determi ne the proportion in which the cost of the improvement shall be assessed against the lands so : benefited, the Council may assess and 'levy the proportion of the cost of the J improvement chargeable against the lands benefited, but not fronting or \ abutting upon such street, lane, or adey, j by a frontage rate in like manner as the ' same would be assessed and levied in the \ case of lands fronting or abutting upon the street, lane, or alley whereon or 1 wherein the improvement is made or to ( be made: (22) No such local improvement as aforesaid, except branch sewers and the : work provided for in sub-section.--(lO) and (11) of this section, shall be undeitaken ' by the Council if the majority of the | owners of the land or real property to be j assessed or charged in respect of such j work, representing at least one-half in : value thereof, petition the council again- J st such assessment within fifteen days ' after the Council shall have published a notice signifying its intention of mak- j ing such assessment, in one newspaper I published in such municipality; any ; leaseholder, the term of whose lease (including any renewals therein provided I for) is not less than twenty-one years, shall be deemed an owner within the ! meaning of this sub-section, if the lessee , has therein covenanted to pay all munici- I pal taxes on the demised property dur- ! ing the term of the said lease: (23.) The number of owners petition- : ing against the assessment, and the value of the land or the real property which they represent, may be ascertained and finally determined in such manner and by such means as are provided by bylaw in that behalf. 1896, c. 37, s. 240. (24.) The Council may, by by-law, determine what proportion (if any) of the cost of a work of local improvement within the municipal limits, not exceeding one-half of such cost, the muni- | cipality shall contribute, and may make such contribution in one or more, but not exceeding twenty, annual payments, out of any of the municipal revenue for ) twenty or lesser number of years. 1902, c. 52, s. 57. (25.) For the purpose of enabling : Councils to avoid the necessity of making supplementary assessments or of refunding in case of over assessments, and for the purpose of ascertaining the ; exact cost of any work or improvement done or constructed as a local improvement under the provisions of this Act, the Council of any Municipality may make agreements with any bank, or with any person or body corporate, for temporary advances and loans for meeting the cost of the work and improvement, until the completion thereof, and may in their option make the special assessments for the cost thereof, after the work or improvement has been completed, and may then pass the necessary by-law authorizing the issue of debentures to repay the amount of the temporary loan or advance, as well as to provide the balance of cost; such by-law shall provide for the repayment of the loan and the maturing of the debentures within the proper life of the work or improvement as certified by the proper officers appointed for the purpose, and should such by-law be ; set aside or quashed the Council may i cause a new assessment or assessments | to be made, and pass new by-laws to provide funds for the payment of the debt so incurred.
