Hon. Charles Tisdale
Will Visit This City
Within Short Time
At a conference, held yesterday
afternoon in the rooms of the Board
of Trade, between Hon. William Man-
son and the members of the Board of
Trade, it was announced by Mr. Man-
son that Hon. Charles Tisdale might
be expected to visit Prince Rupert
shortly, when he would look Into the
subject of the shipbuilding possibilities in the city.
It was decided' by the Council of
the Board to invite Mr. Tisdale to pay
a visit here. Accordingly, Mr. Man-
son telegraphed the Minister of
Works last evening.
The conference held yesterday, was
for ilie purpose of considering the
shipbuilding proposals of (he Govern-
•nieiit. President, <!. \v. Nlckerson,
presided  and  asked   Mr.  Mansnn  fni
any information  relative to the subject.
Mr. Hanson explained that the
matter was one that the Government
was considering. The plans were not i
fully laid, and he thought it might i
be well for the Board to get any in
formation possible together, for pre-
sentation to the Government, looking
to this city's interests in this respect, j
After discussion, in an informal
way, it was decided to place the mat-'
ter in the hands of a committee, con-1
sisting of Messrs. Garde, Clayton and
Lynch, with power to add to their
numbers, tn go into the matter with
the G. T. P. and prepare data.
Mr. Mansnn stated that the Government  had  In  view,  aiding  In every

The Dominion Government will be
asked to impose a special war tax
upon mineral production used in the
manufacture of munitions. This is the
proposition of the local city council,
in a 'resolution introduced a few
weeks ago by Aid. Casey, and which
has since been put in exact form by
the city solicitor, who added the per
centages of taxes that it was proposed should be asked. The resolution as prepared by Mr. Peters and
was presented last evening to the
council read as follows:
RESOLUTION.
WHEREAS the cost of the great
war has rendered enormous taxation
necessary, the burden of which falls
heavily upon citizens of Canada as a
whole, who are also, in many ways,
put to great loss; all of which it is
believed has been and will be cheerfully born:
BUT WHEREAS there are certain
classes of industries in Canada which
are making enormous profits on account of the war, this being particularly the case with regard to certain
firms, who are engaged in the manufacturing and supplying of war munitions and supplies, who, it is alleged', are making exhorbitant profits from their contracts; and to certain products of our mines, such as
! copper, which have greatly increased
I in value owing to the conditions created by the war:
I AND WHEREAS it is proper that
industries w'hich are so specially
benefited by the war should bear a
share of the Increased burden somewhat proportionate to the advantage
reaped by such industries:
AND    WHEREAS    Ihe    Canadian
people will have to pay their share,
not   only   of  the  actual   cost   of  the
war whilst   li  lasts, but  also,  in pro-

mg 1?
Russian Frontier But
Little Change Elsewhere
The city will purchase twenty
water meters at a cost of $320. These
will be located in the places where
the larger amounts of water are used,
and will be used to test out the proposition. It was explained that at
present the water department was
falling short in the amount that
should be raised from it. This would
afford a check upon the matter and
test the meter system out.
Aid. Maitland said the water returns were not up to what was expected. If this were tried they would
find out how it would work.
Aid. Montgomery was opposed to
the system being introduced by the
council. This should be left to next
year's council. This city had plenty
of water.
The Mayor said the hotels were the
ones who were asking for this. They
were objecting to paying the rates
they were called upon to pay. The
apartment houses also complained.
Aid. Casey said that this explana-

London, Jan. 3.—Heavy lighting
continues along the Russian front,
from the Pripet Marshes to the| Buko-
wina frontier, where the Russians are
on tile offensive at several places.
The Russians have captured important heights In Bukowina, taking 870
prisoners. The army is abundantly
supplied with munitions and is fully
equipped.
The Russian campaign, through
Bessarabia, extends along a front of
three hundred miles from the Pripet
Marshes to Rumania. The Russians
have an army of a million and a halt.
The movement is regarded as an
ambitious strategic step to break the
back-bone of the Germanic line across
the Balkans.
In the   Balkans there has been no
change  in  the  situation.
At Other Fronts.
Artillery engagements mining and
sapping operations continue along
French, Austro-Italian and Dardanelles fronts.

the men will remain here for their

to recruit outside of the city for the
local company, so that Capl. Brandl
expects before long to have his command up to strength.
Orders were received last week to,

School Notice
To meet requirements necessitated
by new pupils being received Into the
Primer Classes, by certain promotions, particularly in the Junior
Grade and consequent congestion in
the Borden Street and the Seal Cove
School, it has been found necessary
to transfer the Junior Fourth Class
from the Borden Street School, Div.
X to the Second Division of the King
Edward (Central), also an aovanced
First Reader Class from the Seal
Cove School to First Reader Class
(Div. VI) King Edward School.
A careful consideration of conditions obtaining in the various
schools, divisions and classes has led
to the belief that the transfers, as
announced, will attain the desired
end with the minimum change or disturbance of classes for the current
school   year.
According to figures on hand, the
class-rooms in the city will be filled
almost to their full seating capacity
when school re-opens next Monday.

While there may be many of us in
British Columbia who would prefer
the Saskatchewan system as more
moderate, in the plebiscite to be submitted to our people, there should be
no confusing of the main issue. Details should be left for future consideration.

Thomas Trotier raised an objection before the city council last night,
to what he held was an unfair appropriation for the Borden Street
sewer. The city solicitor explained
that already one assessment had been
paid. It would be a very dangerous
move to allow anyone to come forward and open up a grievance, when
It had been duly passed upon by the
Court of Revision.
Aid'. Montgomery was surprised at
the argument raised by the city solicitor. If there had been a mistake
made, it should be righted. He
thought the assessor should look into
it. The man should not have to pay
more than he was entitled to.
Aid. Beveridge seconded the motion to have this referred to the city
assessor. '*i"n;- :  »>  . ^     *
Aid. Dybhavn felt that the discussion was out of order, as they did not
know what they were talking about.
He moved to refer this to the city
solicitor, the assessor and the engineer. -••        m   |..»
Aid. Maitland did not blame Mr.
Trotier in the matter. If he were paying more than others, it should be
adjusted. He moved that it go to the
Board of Works for investigation.
The matter was referred to the
city assessor.

To the Editor,
Sir,—As many are inquiring about
the Alberta Liquor Act, in view of the
j coming Plebiscite in this Province,
1 should like to explain that this Act
does not prohibit the sale of liquor
for medicinal , mechanical, scientific
and sacramental purposes, but allows
Governmenl vendors, who receive a
fixed salary, with no profits or commissions, In '-''II liquor for such pur-
poset under definite restrictions, such
as doctor's prescription! nor docs it
prohibit an Individual householder in
have In his own house, and for prl-
vale use, a limited amount of liquor;
but it ii'oife prohibit, within the Province, all sale of intoxicating liquors
for beverage purposes, and so abolish"* the bar-room and does away
with Ihe treating system.
The ch'ef point of difference between the Alberta Liquor Act and
the Saskatchewan Liquor Act is this:
in Saskatchewan, to bring about a
great reform more gradually, a certain number of dispensaries, under
strict Government control, are allowed to sell liquor as a beverage in the
larger centres, but the people of these
municipalities are given the local
option to close these Government dispensaries by vote. If they wish to do
Certificate of Improvements.
