For many years trade experts have bemoaned the fact that Canadian "imports", have been far in excess of "exports." The latest,figures of the Customs Department show that this condition has , been changed, and for the month of October -exports far exceed all imports. These figures also show a marked increase over the same month last year. Exports for October, 1913, were $57,144,000, ���������and the imports, both dutiable and free, were $52,381,000, or a total trade for the month of $109,525,000. In October, 1912, the exports were $33,785,000, and imports $61,045,000, or a total of $94,830,000. So that, we have an increase in trade for Octoben 1913} overthe^^ corresponding month last year, of ' $14,695,000, or over 15 per cent, and an increase in exports of $23,359,000, or about 70 per cent. The total trade for the seven months of this .fiscal year to date is $666,165,000, as against ,$606,542,000 for same period of 1912. 7 These fi_nres speak for themselves, and require little comment to demonstrate that in spite of the , money stringency Canada wi prosperous. There is no doubt bnt that much credit is due ' the Dominion Guveriwnent for this happy condition. By wise and honest administration they bave fostered the trade of Canada. Ih the United States trade has dropped off at an alarming rate, , while in Canada we can boast an increase. A 0XtfflMM>? Pf -*������ Jn the great manufacturing town pf Liege, out of 40,000 working men 10,000 live in the country *they. do it because they have cheap transit that takes them into the country. How do they get that! They have nationalized the railways. They have not allowed great monopolies to strangle towns. The result is that they are able to get the most extraordinary fares. In Belgium you have 30 miles of railways for every 22 miles here; ypu have 23 miles of light railway for every one-third railehere, and they have 70 miles of tramway for every mile you have here. In Belgium a workman can travel six miles each way every day for 25 cents a week; }2% miles each way every day for 30 cents per week *, 25 miles each way every day for 39 cents per week; 62 miles each way every day for 621/_ cents per week. So we. have come to the conclusion that a man who likes to come to the country to live ought to be encouraged, whatever bis work; there has been top much discouraging of people to come and live in the villages. , You find the landlord with his blunderbuss turning out the man whom he does not know by. face because he is a "stranger." No man is a stranger if he is of British blood in England.��������� (From Lloyd George's great speech at Swindon.) Contrast with these figures, as given by the great British statesman, the rates we are paying in British Columbia. From Victoria to Prospect Park, 6^ miles, 25c each way straight, with absolutely no commutation. From-Vancouver to New Westminster, 12 miles, 25c straight each way. There is something rotten somewhere and somehow. CIVICi ELECTION CANDIDATES FOR 1914 Pressure is being brought to bear on the following well-known citizens of Vancouver to induce them to serve the city in an official capacity during 1914: Mayor���������T.

We state without hesitancy, no, it is not y Now what aw i^e facts in ti terl The company have subscribed by the cities, municipalities, the Provisional Government and the Dominion Government enough funds to keep matters going up to point of completion of the bridge. .They have right to issue bonds for an amount not actually provided for. They say they cannot sell the bonds. Have they ever tried? Everyone knows they have not. These bonds are or should be almost as good as municipal bonds; they will be secured by assei_s of $2,500,000.00 against $750,000.00. Surely the element of risk is reduced to a minimum, and there remains no valid reason why the tenders should not be called for at once, and this important work proceeded with. - ,���������; - * - ��������� '��������� It has been suggested by the Provincial Oovernment that the bridge might be reduced to a mere railway bridge to accommodate the Pacific Great Eastern.

To illustrate: Recently a prominent transportation man, Mr. Stanley Pollar of San Francisco, personally visited Montreal for the purpose of arranging for dockage and transfer facilities. JJe stated he had made a tender for 35,000,000 feet of timber for the Toronto Harbor works, and purposed bringing it through the canal and transfer it at Montreal. The result of his trip was that he secured an option to lease a most suitable site for transferring the lumber and also made arrangements for lake steamers. Now would it not be well for Vancouver and H. C. shippers to look to their interests?

Th������ Jict wafes^ Tentoj more detcrB^vd^pa^ forwardwm^tx^^ ready to act M a part of the German fleet tnd forces. No wonder that Germany pushes forward night and day in the wre belief that when the hour of strife arrives she will,have the above shipa in such relationship to the whi*te theifeire^ol war as to ensure success to her ind her allies. As I ventured to write sometime ago on tbis matter, I said that when Germany and hep aUie-s are prepared to strike, tbey will do so without one word of warning. And before there is an open act of war, these ships of the aboye powers will be so placed as to seize almost the entire ships of value belonging to Denmark, Hollandr Belgium, Norway and Sweden. Thia will be done so as to perfectly amplify and round out the immense naval and commercial fleets of the allies, and also to prevent Britain from capturing the ships of those smaller nations. The contest will be undertaken before Russia can be in any atate of preparedness to co-operate with Britain and France. The British and French fleets will be face to face with the above combination; Spain and For* tugal may or may not he neutral. How would the conflict terminate with the above ranging of forces f How would the armies of these nations act? and what would they perform in co-operation with the fleets or independent of themt It would be, humanly speaking, a sure catastro- phy-for France. With the three big nations in arms against her,*4U-d the Russian fleets a nonentity, it would go hard with France, if there be no further lining up of other big powers. But here we begin to see daylight. Ae surely as the sun shines, the Empire of Japan and the United States would decide to act in combination on the moment rather than take chances of being crushed a little later. The result would be that on one side we would have Britain, France, Japan and the United States. On the other we would see Germany, Austria, Italy and a sprinkling of the smaller powers which would be forced to act as co-partners so as to save themselves from speedy destruction. In this coming war there will be no mercy, no humanitarianigmJn the cold calculations preceding the combat. What would be the result of such a double lining up on the high seas? Here is my opinion as to what the final course \vould be, no matter what might.be the various mixed intervening results: Before the war had gone far forward, Russia would be in the European military combination as the second or first partner. The seas would be swept -clear of the European vessels which would mostly be captured or sunk. This is inevitable for many reasons, but especially because the beginning of the final drama is about due, and will be a part of the series of conflicts now within sight. The world of great powers will be grouped somewhat as I have stated. The fleets of BritauS and her allies will have swept the oceans clean of the enemy, but the opposing forces will be irresistible on land. Then it may follow, and almost surely mtu,t, that France will be forced into the European military combination. The three allied powers, Britain, United States and Japan will be^jnvincible on water and the others invincible on land. r PW9* 2 . .< ������*���������*-#}>������#������������.. THE WS8TBRN CALL.

Emphasising the importance of education to the public and to the young citizen as a means of lessening the social and moral evil, l?r. Coulthard's paper read at the Progress Club rooms on Thursday night before the session; of the civic Improvement committee J and a number of the public, who were present was carefully prepared and contained statistics from the highest authorities in the medical profession. It took up the question from the physician's standpoint, the. suppression of disease. Beside this and the moral \ aspect the paper waa of Interest from the economic point of view aa it show* ed tbat the havoc from the present sit uation waa greater than that of any other disease wlttf the possible epeeep* tion ot tuberculosis. From statistics presented it appears that if this infection could be removed but a very small per eeat of some) of thiB most destructive maladies would remain as well aa a small proportion of the diseases which afflict the innocent That the ignorance which is every* where prevalent concerning thisf thing, is responsible for the larger part of the trouble, waa maintained by the. speaker, and that the medical profession have not sufficiently grasped the importance of enlightenment that some scheme of action might be devised to lessen the evil. As a con* structlve policy the Doctor suggested a propaganda of education which might be carried on through organisations such as the army, fraternal orders, clubs, etc., but the young citisen should begin a special course In the public school, where he could moat Effectually have subjects {presented through the medium ot biology, which ahould be placed as a nature study oa the public school curriculum by the department of education. Special teachers, said the speaker, could be employed for this work, who would be able to carry on a more advanced course; in the high schools. These teachers should he trained in the Normal school. Regarding the control of prostitution, Dr. Coulthart advised toleration between the; two parties, who desired the same end. even though one was tor segregation and the other for abolition end aald that In the caae of lo- '9*ap*r**m*&**9*.m\0 . *)w 7" fSw*'SS������������Si' tfSSJfWt t^SSSV Tty9^*9^������- to atop the sale of liquor la these lo* 'wWttft������������������! ^Pea-v^ w**-iVw S-rv^WgS*a���������v w *gsR**P*TT"*"'v> such a law should he punished by Imprisonment with hard labor. Statistics which were presented at this point were in favor of abolition and the speaker aald that personally he believed ty an active, campaign against the vice. Beside as area being the breeding ground tor disease it favored slavery,, which should not be allowed. Proceeding the speaker pointed out that disease could he greatly regulated If the law required medical men to report this worse form of malady so tbat the Board of Health could investigate and isolate the case, hut he- cause it was malodorous the' authorities were apathetic aad the public tn* active, and said: "Why should society* which baa done ao much to eliminate disease, neglect this?" Concluding, the Doctor made 'a strong plea to those who stood for the betterment of public lite to grapple with, and get rid of thia most malignant evil in our midst A number of those present spoke along the same line aad made eloquent appeals for a course of action.

The material to be used is creosoted wood blocks, and the cost is placed at $438,494.93. This action was the outcome of .the visit,of a delegation composed of about twenty property owners along Main street to the council,"requesting that the proposed contract with the Dominion Creosoting Company be awarded, work to be started as soon as practicable. The delegation -contended this road paving was absolutely essential to the development of the North Arm of the Fraser river for industrial sites. It was pointed : out by the.

It is fairly clear that if this should be the culruination of the coming tragedy there can be no very clear way of coming into any open and definite battle. A water army cannot fight a land army, because they cannot get into fighting contact. Then what f To my mind the- next move is manifest. The European forces will decide to capture Egypt, Palestine, Turkey; if not already^ in the alliance, all the small Balkan States, Palestine, Syria, Persia and India. - But by the time they have got as far as Palestine on their journey of military conquest* and while the naval forces are watching from the sea-coasts, the historic panorama which has been foretold for about 2500 years will unfold itself before, the world. The God of Battles will then act in the presence of an ^officially assembled fighting world and do some terrible acts, long since announced. When He is through with the matter, the military European forces will have melted into helplessness, and the naval forces assembled will see in the outcome that not they, but the God of Hosts, did the work, of humbling and overturning a material, brutal military force, the mightiest alliance in the history of mankind. (Read Ezekiel, 38 and 39.) This wiU prepare the way for the revealing of some of the other wonderful acts of the Almighty which He has been so kind as to present prophetically thousands of years ago. These are some of the great movements "at hand to come,", and 1 which are the precursors of other events of the most helpful character to mankind. In this series of tragedies the hand of the.Lord will be upon. God's Isreal for good, and the whole world will see that"TheChotea Rwg^wiU stand out on the high mountains of perpetual success, while' their enemies go down to final defeat. Then shall come to pass a strange thing: There will be only one dominating people on earth, and all others will acknowledge their inferiority to their masters of the HlLnglo-Saxon Royal Race. THE NEW LIBERAL JOLICY. Here is jthe lat-^t-antt ittosV striking bit of plat- geeia in a long time. It is up-to-date in its Let us look at it: 1. "An increase in &$, British Preference to. fifty per cent." \ 2. ^The abolition of all duties oft all food." 3. "The abolition or material reduction of the duties on all machinery used in the production of foods/*^���������.-.,;---.- ������������������' yx.'x:. Ay i- "The appointment of a permanent tariff commission for the purpoBe of constantly watch ing for and advising parliament on the presence of^jnstices in the customs tariff/^ "Weshall givei ffiese fbur planks a look , "An increase in the British Preference of fifty per cent." This is good, and shows sound sense. This plank-should be acceptable to the vast majority of Canadians, and especially to those who are true Britishers. The Conservatives would do well to aim at tHfe same end or, better still, at.as nearly free trade as possible, in relation to the Old Land. , Second, "The abolition of all ditties on food." I would draw the line here to. at least some extent, as bearing upon sausages made from poodle dogs and imported from* the continent of Europe. There are a few other foodstuffs which could well be excluded. But in the main the Liberal proposition is good, and should meet a general acceptance. - Third, "The abolition or material reduction of the duties on all machinery used in the production of food.'' For the most part this is folly, and out of place. It is another one.of the many useless ^attempts at winning the farmers on. a purely selfish basis. And further; it is a fundamental mistake at the present time. As an abstract theory it sounds good. But we are not living in an abstract world. It is very concrete, very material, and therefore we do not want to go the whole dreamland-journey into manufacturing and economic disaster. Somehow there is a lunatic sentiment that at times creeps into the skulls of certain nebulous-minded Grits that when put into language gives one the political and industrial creeps, This is the result of an abstraction on the part of the radical wing of the * political microbes which would bring national ! disaster. The misrobe does its work and the politician plunges ip wildly and "imagines a vain tiling,'' even worse than jthe psalinist refers to when he says: "The heathen ^fine ft vain thing.-";,,:. <xa.-a^ ��������� ' - '"''���������'���������'" Fourth, "The appointment of a permanent tariff commission to look into and report upon necessary tariff changes." This is good and wise, and should be adopted by the Borden administration. It looks in the right direction and seems to have come from the action of the right kind of political microbe. ��������� Prom the above we. :ggg that our good Liberal friends are making some solicLheadway. If they keep \m the'pace and "lengthen their cords and atrengtnen their stakes" ^continually they will make national headway and, sooner or later, will come to their own again. But they must put into their platform a sound British Imperial plank concerning which there can be no mistake, or 1 down they are and will remain until the crack of doom. Perhaps this will get into their heads in due course. If so, then look out for lively times ahead. ������.'.:-':s_feS:#^i_ ymym$i0m Qo Down Towii^ yiSlili^it^ -and Prices iii Farlb ' 26c Local Lamb legs, and lotus ������*ltW Mutton tags 22c, Wns20c OwieeFotRosst - 42X������-He Choice Rolled Roasts, 20et62Ee PTosh> Spare Ribs - - - 16c Good Laid - - - 2 lbs.

This dispersion of Israel took place 721 B. C. Sonte twenty yesr������ prior to this Pul and TigHth-Fiteser had carried away the trans-Jwrdariic tribes, Reuben, Gad, and the ihs.Tf-tr.be of Manasseh, alio to the Aforenamed cities (1 Chron. v-26'). In the memoirs of Sir John Drum- ���������mond Hay is to be found very valuable information gleaned from Rabbi judah Azalia, who had travelled much ������the East, had spent three years in the southern districts of Morocco, and had -visited many of the towns and Villiges bordering in the Great Dessert beyond Dra; and his facts have quite recently been verified by Dr. Robert Kerr, the well known* med-csll missionary, in 1912, after living twenty-five years in Morocco, ahd what follows is from their combined testimony: "Later, when the oppression of Assyria and Babylon became unbearable, those captives in the north cast in their lot with their maritime neighbors, and through them resolved to seek a resting place in one of the Phoenician colonies, so from Halah and Habor all the Israel- he tribe of Naphtali, or the greater portion thereof, sought refuge in Raden, a town situated on the limits of Guinea (Ajnaua), that is, the upper borders of - Sahara, which town of TBaden, at that time had direct maritime communication with Halah and IHabor. From Baden the Israelites then maritime glory." This has been confirmed by old Jewish writings, which istate that many of the Jews came from the East to Morocco in sailing ships about 580 R. C." Still we may imagine many, ye*r after year finding their way by ancient c*ravan route to the upper borders of the Sahara, representatives no doubt of many other of the Israelite tribes. However, the tribe of Naphtali is special named, and Dr. Kerr referring to their exodus from the East, writes "Many of the captives could not have been altogether ignorant of the Phoenician colonies in North Africa from information brought back by relatives and friends who had sailed in the Phoenician ships during the reigns of David and Solomon; so having struck a bargain, they set sail in the ships of Tarshish from some of the seaports in the now Province of Aleppo for the "Land of the Setting Sun," though not without fear mingled with hope. Safely landed in Morocco, and once more free from the hand of the spoiler, these exiles named a mountain in the vicinity of their new home Har Gorizim (the Mount of Blessing), now Cape Gor- rizim in Sous, which has retained its name to this day���������a standing monument of the truth of God's word. History repeating itself two thousand years later, when, the Pilgrim Fathers landed in New England in AD. 1620." These were of the first captivity; the Israelite population of the Moorish Empire numbers stome 450,000, but these are not all descendants of the first captives; there are he sriiiswrtiinvS jews ir imicgi These were expelled from Spain and Portugal in the 15th and 16th centuries, and are chiefly to be found in the seaports. But where did they set his heart on the capture of Jerusalem, he invited the Kings of Lepbaradiro (Spain and Porfcgal), to assist him' in the reduction\of the city," which we have no reason to doubt was both long and tedious. Now, we have no other source of information. as to how this quite different race of Jews originally settled in Spain. The spirit of the age is to be critically inclined, and so because a locality named Sepharvaim was in close proximity to Babylon, and many of the captives from Judah resided there. There are not wanting those who assert ,that the two names have been confounded one with the other. But the fact remaining that the Jews, evidently of Jerusalem, and not Israelite descent, were expelled from Spain and Portugal, and thousands of their descendants are now in Morocco,' inclines us to attach credence to tradition, until more reliable evidence, if any, can be produced, to account for their presence in those countries. The Bible does not help us, but many minor transactions in Hebrew history are purposely omitted from Holy Writ Just previous to the Chaldean captivity, we are told, There were three classes of inhabitants in Jerusalem. The suburban were the poor working people, who formed the outer circle; the second were composed of the better, or middle class population; while the inner circle was composed of the nobility of the Jews. In gratitude for the assistance given by the kings of Sepharadim, Nebuchadnezzar gave them a gift of 50,000 Jewish captives from the inner circle as a reward for their services. These did not return with the others from the captivity, although they were invited to do-so by Ezra." These Peninsular-descended Jews are generally held to be superior intellectually to their other brethren in Morocco, though this is not invariably the case. If the above theory be correct, it would fix their arrival in Spain and Portugal about 588 B. C. So numerous did they become, that had it not been for the advent of the Saracens in A.D. 711, the Gothic rule would have been overthrown and a Hebrew Kingdom established. After the fall of Grenada and the subsequent introduction of the infamous Inquisition, the whole race (excepting 83,000, who found a temporary home in Portugal) rather than sacrifice their religion to their worldly interests, left the country and crossed to Morocco, like Moses of old, "Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season." Alas! to have to acknowledge it! but they found the Moslem a truer brother than the Christian!"

The} method to be followed is simijar'to that in successful operation on the National Forests in the United Statea In case of many applications for grazing rights on any one reserve, the number of stock which any one person is entitled to pasture is fixed by a "grazing unit" based on the number of stock which can be carried during the winter by a homestead or small ranch, the object being to give settlers without large grazing areas of their own, the same facilities | as those who have such areas. $uU where there is no danger of o-*er- grazing, the number of stock grazed by any,one person on a reserve may considerably exceed this "grazing unit." .." ..:���������.������������������ ,l '"y ' . ���������;' Application for grazing permits^ must be on special forms, and should be made to the Director or local forest officer before the first of March. Small resident farmers who are dependent on the forest reserve for range for their stock receive'first consideration. The Director of Forestry Axes the dues for grazing permits for each forest reserve, but the''min**. irnum dues ior cattte and horses are; to be five cents per head per month, and the maximum dues are to be ten cents per head per fnonth. The rate of dues charged for sheep is to be one-fourth that charged for catle. .Previous to these regulations only actual settlers living in the vicinity were permitted to graze cattle (not to exceed fifty head), on these reserves, and very little grazing was done. But these new regulations permit the grazing of a much larger number of stock by a much greater number of stock owners, and also make available to the Dominion Forest Service, a source of revenue second only to that derived from the management of the timber on these reserves. way out" Tea, yes, I uadcrttaad," I whit* [pered, drawing her to am.

Poison, of IBnderby, addressed a fair aised audience In Annstrong*g HaU on Friday, Nov. 14, and took et hia, the themo ot his talk the question of the present financial stress, its causae and remedy. The chief cause for the money shortage he laid at the door of the banking institutions and the privilege*, given them by the government He did not claimto be an authority on banking; but his curiosity had been aroused In recent yeara on this question and he bad recently been making a study of lt with tha result that he had come to the conclusion that the banks en- Joyed unwarranted privileges. ��������� It waa the abeolute opinion of all, he. stated, that the banks of Canada were the strongest and beet ln tbe world���������beet for the people of the beaks, he said, but worst for the people outside the banks. Money waa the medium enacted by the government to make it easier for the.people to deal with each other. The original Intention of the banking system waa to set tiie money Into circulation, hut money, like blood, was in bad condition when circulation stopped. The government had practically given control of the currency to the bants and a rink of about twenty-seven bankers in Canada haa assumed control and perverted this money into wrong channels. Five or six years ago a financial stringency had been created ln Canada tor no good reason. The cause of tbla had been a call from Wall Street; Now York, tor money on short loans at high rates of interest, and banks took advantage of this. 8uch tactics should not be permitted;; this was drawing money from legitimate enterprises in order to relieve someone else tn a foreign country. Similar forces were at work now, acnoe the present striagan- cy. The speaker stated that the banks peld only 5 per cent to tha government tor all the money received. This wes not five per cent per year, bdt only paid as an Initial deposit without interest on the money received In return* Aa a remedy he would suggest that the millions of dollars deposited In savings banks be transferred to the poet Oifice department end loaned out fly the government st a nominal rate of Interest He advocated, also, government inspection of banks. The government many years ago had cot out private mall carrying which had been costing the people of the country enormous sums and had taken over the control of this and brought tbla cost down to a penny postage and be saw no reason why the government should not take over the banking system of the country. The longer the present system continued the worse it would be for the country. Mr. Poison drew many apt similes and put pointed questions. "Why," he aald, "should men of privilege get fioo for f 5, when other people bave to pay one hundred cents on tbe dollar for money? The banks also pay no taxes on the capital they have Invested, while other people bave to pay heavy taxes." Mr. Poison's remarks were listened to attentively and at the close a vote of thanks wss tendered him. es Mother of Prise-Winning Saay Wrttaa in Praiee ef Vancouver - The mother, of Uttle Herbert Rlcb* ard Libby, Fraaer atreet South Vancouver, in acknowledging enclosures from the Vancouver SbtUbltlon Association in connection with the prise won by her baby son at the Vancouver Exhibition, says: -I write to acknowledge the receipt of the diploma and prise, cheque.

Mr. Charles Harrison, ex-secretary of tbe Board of Trade, haa returned from an extended visit to the old country. Be reports the monetary coo* dltkras there very similar to our own. The. government (Liberal) of Central Parliament, on Tuesday eight supported incorporation for all cities having a minimum population ot 10,000, and favored a salary of 14,000 for reeve, who would hold office for three years, while an alderman would be in office tor two years, which would make one going out aad one coming in each Mr. John 8. Harlock of Forty-fifth avenue wee married to Mlas May O. Pacey on^Wedneeday tha ltth Inst, at the Methodist paraoaage by Rev. J. Pye. The bride was attended by her Mother, Mrs. Paoey, and the groom was supported by his brother, Mr. W; 8. Harlock. Only the immediate frleade were present Mr. aad Mrs. Harlock will reside at Pacek avenue on the completion- ot Mr. Hartock's h< a large at tendance of the Main Street Improvement Aaeodatfcm on Monday evening, and complimented the society on Its growth since its inauguration four years ago and referred to the report brought) In by the committee with regard to the lighting of Main street, and he said the. best possible attempts would he made in tbe matter of light log up. Thia whole Question however, he regarded as a difficult thing on Recount of tha retrenchments of the B. C. Electric Co. Also the company would not be able to eopplr the KO lamps planned for the manletpa-tty before spring. The Reeve said that itt South Vancouver the foundation was being laid fer a great city. Ther-* waa ao chance about it ae there had been in Van- franchises were granted. At present municipal street trafflccould not be ar* ranged for aa that could only vbe done under the joint arrangement o fa unified Vancouver. But electric light, street paving plant industrial sites, etc., could all be arranged for. The electric light plant he continued, was vary Important. After the company had cut the fates till they were equal to those of the city it waa not proven yet that they were cheap enough. A company, advised the Reave, Is forced tc consider Its shareholders and not the ratepayers as long aa they comply, and lt is up to the latter to protect themselves. By controlling the lighting oursej ves said the speaker, we. would be able to do away with the wires and poles on at least the principal streets and supply the light at one-half thei. present cost He quoted cost flgures obtaining In some of tbe Canadian and adjacent American cities and aald he thought Vancouver was paying inoi-e for Its light than any other city in Canada. The Reeve painted out tbat there were 3000 kilowatt* used In the municipality at present at a total cost for this year of 128,874.00 and tbe cost of lighting up the municipality aa it should be would be f 100,000, while It would coat 1600,000 for the plant without the building and he gave an itemised estimate and showed how the cost could be covered. The Reeve spoke of the gas plant and -emphasised the > importance of municipally owned Industrial sites and said South Vancouver would then be able to sell to those who were inquiring and to provide work for its dtlsens as well as secure for the municipality the unearned increment. He strongly criticised those, who bad through the Press or otherwise minimised tbe Importance of the municipality and spoke ot the great works contemplated on the North Arm of the Fraser and the trilliaat proepects ahead. As he believed annexation could not be secured, the Reeve advised incorporation and pointed out things in its favor. A redistribution bill he said waa likely to go through both the Dominion house and that at Victoria. As a city of 40,000 Soutb Vancouver, the third largest city ln B. C, would be entitled to two members in the local hbuae. A city would also be ln better favor at the London market with the small buyer, who only considered a municipality as a sort of adjacent village. The Reeve pointed with civic pride, to what a prominent man of Vancouver had told htm, vis. that South Vancouver waa the most prosperous of any municipality or eity he had visited for some time. Councillor Third and several others spoke briefly. Mr. Pound, chairman of the Bridge Committee, said that he had inter viewed Mr. Carter-Cotton, M. P. P., who said he would do everything possible, and that it had also been necessary to interview the B. C. E. R. and Canadian MalUn Co. and that everything looked favorable. Messrs. Robertson, Hamilton and Hallberg were appointed a special committee to interview the Richmond council re a right of way from the northern to the southern boundaries of Lalu Island, for Main street. "Owning as much property as they stated it is not businesslike on their part to decry the municipality in the way they did and to allow their state; ments to be published broadcast to the detriment not only of South Vancouver, but of their own property, Especially waa lt unbusinesslike and foolish when lt may be stated without fear of contradiction that South Van couver stands today in as good if not indeed a better financial position than neighboring municipalities. Moreover the council has done nothing to lower the* credit of South Vancouver either on the London money market or elsewhere. "It is true South Vancouver sold no bonds this year or last; but we are not alone in that respect. The failure of the Dominion Government issue in London showed conclusively the attitude of British investors. When one thinks the Dominion Oovernment 4 percent, stock at 99 going begging/it shows how scarce and particular investor are. As a matter of fact not only has South Vancouver had to be temporarily financed until the, market permits of the bonds being put on for public issue, but many Canadian financial enterprises are being temporarily financed in the same way. Almost ruinous prices have recently been paid by certain municipalities for temporary finance, aa compared with the price paid by. South Vancouver. These prices have created an unfavorable impression among financiers, particularly among th������* directors of life insurance companies and other corporations which buy largely in the municipal bond market * "The London newspapers have also been devoting considerable attention to Canadian securities lately and have hot only been giving more space to Canadian failures in their financial columns but on their placards also. Tbe effect on investors of placarding London with announcementa auch as these���������Canadian Government Loan Failure,' and 'Another Canadian Loan Fiasco,' can readily be imagined. Hence our financial agents have not thought it advisable to atten.pt to float South Vancouver bonds. We are1 convinced, however, that South Vancouver will be able to haeet the financial situation and our obligations at tbe proper time. "With reference to the statements made by the delegation to the Provincial Government tbat South Vancouver la practically in the hands of tbe receivers and that we owe the Bank of Montreal $1,125,000 at 7 per cent, interest at the present time and will owe the bank in February next 91,575,000 the statements are simply not true. All we owe the Bank of Montreal at present Is 160,000 pounds sterling, or roughly $800,000. The B, C. Telephone Company declines to, alter the Shaughnessy Heights telephone connection from but in the meantime the council has Eburne to the Bayview exchange. This full power to "dispose of the bonds if the price is favorable; but the* present council will certainly-not sell their bonds at a sacrifice, priee. "On September 30 last 140,000 pounds, or 1700,000 treasury bills came due, and these were rape wed In small blocks. On Sept. 25 thei Lon- ddn office of our fiscal agents Sold 50,000 pounds worth ot treasury bills on a 6 per cent, basis less charges, or about 51*2 per cent The following day they sold 10,000 pounds worth at the same price and later two blocks of 10,000 and 20,000 pounds worth were sold at 61*2 and 7 per cent. lesB charges. It was practically impossible to sell treasury bills tb meet the balance and we were obliged to make temporary arrangements with the bank to cover the loan till sufficient treasury bills were sold.. "To give the ratepayers an idea of the rate of interest at which our treasury bills have been issued I will quote the prices at whicb they have been sold. Commencing In June, 1012, South Vancouver treasury bills were sold at par value at the following rates of interest: June 17, 4.15; June 20, 4.24; Aug. 14, 4.85; Aug. 30, 5.19; Sept 26. 5.36 and 5.57; Oct 21, 6.35 and 5.64; Dec. 24, 6.50; May 27. 1913, \6.26; M^y 30, y06; Sept^ 10, 6.40 less charges ln each caae. Later prices I have already mentioned. "Compare those prices with the re* ������opt offers made, to Burnaby Council for 6 per cent treasury bills, the latest of which was, according to the press reports, $1,100,000 for $1,260,- 000 worth, and I think the ratepayers will acknowledge that South Vancouver has not fared worse than other municipalities. "In regard to Income and expenditure I may say that this year the expenditure .will come well within our estimate even allowing for a shrinkage in the estimated amount from taxes. It. Is not true aa stated by Mr. Gold that South Vancouver has $175,- 000 in pressing claims unpaid. "The tax levy this year was $624,000 to meet estimates amounting to that figure- This amount was made up as follows: Administrative expenses, $190,703, lees $50,000 estimated revenue, or $139,803 aet; Interest en sinking fund and loan into $214,406; Point Grey^ information was conveyed in a letter from the comjpany dated _*Tov. 22 and read at Tuesday night's meeting of the Point Grey council. In the letter it was stated that there appeared to be a slight misunderstanding, as the company had gathered from the letter of the council that the council were of Opinion that the company had-promised to consent to the change. This was not correct Tbe company had found that to make such a change would be absolutely impossible, aa all construction Boutb of Bodwell road had been carried out on the basis of the understanding with the council. Therefore, no change could be considered at the present time. The council also received copies of the two resolutions recently passed by tbe Kerrisdale. Ratepayers Association in connection with the alleged discrimination of the company against the district and the association's endorse* met of a public utilities commission, which should have jurisdiction over telephone and other companies. The council last night took no7 action in the matter, as they were not requested to express an opinion. The letter from the B. C. Telephone Company waa ordered to be filed. In accordance with the recommendation of the heat, light, fire and police committee it was arranged that an adequate addition to the night police force should be placed at Shaughnessy Heights, by organising the force so that the main body of men should be on duty at night, and to have a substation established for special attention to West district, and additional lights are also to be installed. A largely-attended deputation from West Vuncmveft" -��������� v, I . West Vancouver municipality at tie Tuesday's council meeting agreed n> purchase four acres of land in the Capilano Indian reserve at the price of $1,000.00 per acre, to accommodate the Marine Drive at the point where it is linked up with the Municipality of North Vancouver. ��������� As a result of the action, recently taken by the West Vancouver council, the P. O. E. R. Co. have agreed to replace the 3x3 culvert, which they had put in on Twenty-fifth avenue, with a 4x5 culvert as required by tttb district engineer. It ls elpected that various other matters, which hav* been under discussion with the RaUway Co., will be adjusted ln a manner agreeable to the municipality. A sub-committee was formed at Tuesday's meeting, to report upon the appointment of a police magistrate by the district and also on the providing of call accommodation ln connection with the police department. x Ward One waited on the sewerage committee with regard to the sewerage disposal at the Shaughnessy School.. Mr. A. J. Blackball, who acted as spokesman, advocated doing away with the septic;tank, and connecting the school with the sewer. They felt, he said, that tbla Should be done aa soon as possible for the protection of the children; and be blamed the prei- ent arrangementa for. the sicknees among the children. They had '*%' ctose the school last year on account of sickness, he declared, and this was a detriment not only to the health of the children, but also to the advancement of their studies. On the suggestion of the reeve* it ws> resolved- that a special committee of the whole council should enquire into the matter in conjunction with the deputation and see what could be dons.

Provision was made tor rebate of taxes estimated at $26,000 and for. estimated increase in arrears of taxes $50,000 thus bringing the total estimates to $624,142. Interest on treasury bills was provided for In the loan late and even though temporary financing may raise the interest a point or two and a certain amount of expense is Incurred In renewing ^t will come well within the revenue. Moreover, at the end of this year we shall have roughly $340,- 000 arrears of taxes on which no expenditure has been authorised, and as no money has been borrowed on the streength ot these arrears the amount of $340,000 arrears of taxes will be a straight asset to the municipality. "A good deal baa been said and written commending the action ot Mayor Baxter and the City Council in deciding not to put any more money bylaws before the ratepayers. next year. I would like to point out that thia policy was adopted by the South Vancouver Council, as far aa possible, twelve months ago. So far#e the delegation to Victoria was concerned 1 am inclined to thldk that they went for the purpose of airing their person- "As I have already stated no South Vancouver bonds were sold last year, so to finance the municipality temporarily tbe council authorised by bylaw and with the consent of the lieutenant- governor the issue ot 300,000 pounds treasury bills, roughly $1,500,000. On December 31, 1912, we had issued against that amount $1,250,750, and this year we issued the balance. On July 31 there came due $800,000 and as there was no market for municipal bonds generally we found it necessary to. enter-into an agreement with tho Bank of Montreal whereby they loaned us 1800,000 at 7 par cent per annum interest till February 1, next, The bank took our unsold bonds aslal grievances rather than in the Inter- security wltb aa option to purchase; jests of the municipality at large.'
