Announces Successful Tenderers on-Eight Coaling Stations on Main Line. As a preliminary step to meet conditions forced on the company by the impending stoppage of the oil fuel supply for its locomotives, it is announced by the C. P. R. engineering department that contracts have already been..awarded for the construction of eight coal bunkering plants at various stations along the Pacific division of thetC.*P.R. main line. These eight bunkering plants will cost in" the neighborhood of $100,000, although the definite figures in the case of individual contracts are withheld for the present. ; .

The other plants are to be erected-at Ruby Creek, Notch Hill; Sicamous, Revelstoke, Albert Canyon, JBeavermouth and Golden. Successful tenderers on these individual plants are announced as follows: False' Creek—Vickers Contracting Co., Ltd., Dominion Building. Ruby Creek—Nickson Construction VANCOUVER SHOWS BIG GAIN IN BUILDING WHILE COAST CITIES IN SLUMP While other coast cities have been showing a decided slump in building, activity, it is at least comforting to local contractors and builders to realize that Vancouver is a decided exception to this state of affairs further- down the coast/and that this city on the contrary has been showing an approximate increase of about 90 per cent, for several' months past in the' amount of new construction authorized, as compared with monthly totals lor the same period last year.

MAY SUBMIT BY-LAWS FOR TWO MILLIONS TO ELECTORS/ IN JANUARY; Based entirely on a promise given by Attorney-General Farris at a recent meeting of the provincial executive here that the government would, give Vancouver-at least,$250,000 a year as the city's share of the auto and amusement taxes' collected' by the province, Mayor Gale proposes to submit two money by-laws for, $2,000,000 to the electors of J Vancouver at the civic elections on January 13. One of these money. by-laws, as proposed by the mayor, is to be for $1,000,000 in* 6 per^ cent. 20-year bonds to provide for the erection of a.combined city hall and public auditorium. The auditorium part of the combined building is to be designed to'seat 5,000, so that it may be used for conventions and other large" gatherings as well as musical festivals.'. The-other by-lawt is also to be for $1,000,000 to provide for a comprehensive scheme of road improvement and street opening, which factors of community development has been so sadly neglected here'tor the last five years. ' ' , In submitting, these by-laws'" to the city council for .approval,. the^ mayor It is only when October figures are compared with other years that it is apparent how far building activities have dropped. The following-table emphasizes the foregoing statement: 1016 624,000 627,000 776,000 rfl20 $ 626,750 0501,640 $503,524 public natatorium, waterworks exten-j-^io 1,000,000 S60.000 S90.000 sion, sewerage extension, more parks 191s ' 2S7000 225,000 162,000 1917 416,000 plans afoot in that direction already It will be time enough, four or five years from now, if there- is no large auditorium in the city then, to consider erecting one under civic auspices. In the meantime there are such urgently needed things as a fire-boat, a and improvements to existing parks and bathing beaches, that it would seem better civic economy to put bylaws for these projects before the ratepayers rather than for the erection of a more ornate building in which the aldermen can orate. Of the need for at least $1,000,000 for a programme "of road improvement throughout the city there should be little difference .of, opinion. Every- resident who pays,taxes should, have a road that gives access to his home and affords transport'for the necessities of life. But these things are lacking for many a home in the outskirts, while many miles of macadamized highway throughout the city generally is sadly in need of resurfacing and should be attended to at once.

When proper allowance has been made for the differencsu ins construction costs as between 1920 and 1915, for example, it" is obvious that the volume of business in October, 1920, was much less than 50 per cent, of the October record in 1915. 3163—F.

Farris has promised the .government, will allocate to-the city next year. A significant feature about this promise, however,-is-that Premier Oliver has,practically repudiated it and declined to commit, the government to "such a financial allotment until such time as the new'cabinet'meets and formally decides whether provincial finances and the' heavy demand for public works will allow of a'grarit of a quarter of a million to- the; city. Leaving aside the probability of voting on these by-laws—should they be ,.approved by~ the council—-being largely .a. question of "counting your chickens s before they are hatched," it is.a debatable question in the minds of,even the most ardent advocate of !a-big h.uilding. programme-tor the city, a* to whether this -$250,000.a year shqujd be tied up and, disposed of sin this way.

There is nc gainsaying the fact that although' the October gross tonnage total was 3,015,- 982 the total, tonnage for the year will fall below that of last'year,and will be the lowest annual production since 1915. .There has been no-.increase in buying in the'last week, but the general impression prevails that business will shortly be.on the up grade.

In support'of his contentions that city schools are very much overcrowded today, Inspector Gordon points out that at present there are" 78 classes with an enrolment of from 45 to 50, while there are 24 classes which have an .enrolment of more than fifty. It is a well known and generally conceded fact that thirty is the maximum which any teacher can impart tuition to in ^ a proper manner. Classes are city schools, there being at least a being held in basements and attics of score of rooms in use that, are unsuitable for the purpose. W.A.
