NOKTIl VANCOUVER, B. C, FRIDAY, JANUARY 15.1909. NUMBER 'l\ The last regular session of the city council for 1908 was held on Monday evening. There were present Aldermen Irwin, Crickmay, Wheeler, Smith and Hraim. Mayor Kealy presided. A letter was read from H. V. Smith, secretary of the ratepayers' association,advising the council of the meeting under the uitspices of the association that evening, and asking thai iTuncil arrange its business to allow aldermen who were candidates to attend the meeting. Received and filed. The delaved letter from Manager A. G. Terry, of the B.C. Kl. Ry. Co., relerred to last week, was read. A letter from Postmastir J. A. McMillan, in explanation of the delay in delivery of the a- bove letter, stated that there had been an extra amount of mail matter that day, and as local and outside mail matter had been deposited in the same box, some of this mail had not been sorted until the next morning, among which was the letter referretl to. Since that time a separate box for local mail has been installed, which will greatly facilitate delivery. Letter received. The N. V. Land & Improvement Company wrote, advising the council that they had tleui- i.iteil as a lane the lot described as lot "A" block hb, miIkIi- vision 271. Referred to the solicitor lor completion. Manager A. 0. l'erry wrote, advising the council thai the railway crossing requested al the corner of 4th streei and yueensbury avenue, had heen put in the lollowing day. To In acknowledged with thanks. The lirst annual report of the Xorth Vancouver general hospital was submitted, showing that during eight months tin hospital had cared Ior eighteen patients, ol whom ten were inside and eight outside patients, while three were cases ol bad accident. Received, Mayor Kealy gave a verbal report of the delegation lo the convention ol the union of B.C. municipalities, with special relerence to a uniform system of municipal accounting, the definition ol a householder under the municipal clauses act, and the choice of this city as the place ol meeting for the next convention. Aid. Irwin supplemented the mayor's report, by relerence to the plan considered by the convention, to have the provincial government establish a government bureau ot information in Vancouver, where those districts which so chose might maintain permanent exhibits ol their products, with such olher means of advertisement as they might wish, and where government maps, pamphlets, etc.,and general information concerning the province, might readily be obtained al any time. The report was received and a vote of thanks accorded the delegation. Aid. Crickmay, chairman ol the lire and light couiniittee, reported thai in consultation wilh lhe architect, it had been decided inadvisable lo put in an additional healing pipe from lhe lurnace Ior the dormitory, imt lo recommend ihai a Hue bt cut in lhe chimney and a stove installed. Recommendation a- doplcd. Aid. Sinilh, chairman ol the waterworks committee, explained the recent difficulty at the intake. Between the stream antl the intake, a part of the line runs under a ceinenl protective surface. Anchor ice had found its wav under this cement, with the result that the passage had lie, mm fni/i*li and stopped the walcr It had become necessary to break through this solid cement and to clear out lhe pas sage underneath. Aid. Irwin was of opinion that now that a plumbing inspector has been appointed, it would be well to re-inspect tl connections already made, in order to make improvements for the protection of service pipes. Aid.Smith thought that house j taps should not be allowed to run in order to prevent Iree/ ing. Householders should use . the stop and waste for.this pu j pose. There was more watei going through the pipes at pri - I sent than during the hottest , summer season. Aid. Wheeler did not agree I with this position. Because the mains and the pipes therefrom to the houses are so near the surface, users should be allowed to keep the taps running. The stop and waste would empty the pipes within the house, but that was not where the difficulty arose, but in the pipes ! in the street, and the only way ! to prevent these freezing wa.s lo allow the taps lo run. I Aid. Crickmay declared that , there was one place at any rate 1 where city workmen had dug I | ditch and actually left the main ,exposed. The main on 17th street is frown practically solid ! The difficulty is chielly iu the I pipes in the streets. Aid. Braim agreed with this position, and evidenced his per I sonal experience in trying to \ keep the water running in linns es owned by him. Aid. Smith, as chairman ol the city waterworks committi( brought in lhe lollowing recommendation, "That the water a mains and service pipes be laid I at a depth of not less than two , feet beneath the surface; that pipes running into a basement lie properly Ixixed, and packed with sawdust or other suitabli material; that service pipes in every case tie litted with a stop and waste, and that no taps in 1 allowed to run continuously." The recommendation was ,i dopted and ordered on to next year's council, Bylaw No. 53, to grant a franchise to the North Vancouver Heat, Light oi Oca Company, was reconsidered and li- jnally passed, subject lo the ap- ; proval of the city solicitor. The mayor and clerk to sign the bylaw should the solicitor not require any important changes, otherwise a special meeting ol the council to lie called. A recommendation was pass ed to thc new council, lhat they consider (avorablv the request of City Engineer Hanes, that he be permitted to study conditions in Seattle and Tacoma, before proceeding to draw plans for local street intersections. City Treasurer Woods read a preliminary report, showing that the ex|>enditiircs lor the year by the respective depart incuts li.nl been kept on the whole well within the appropriations. On motion, Mavor Keah was requested to vacalc lhe chair iind Aid. Smith was appointed chairman. Aid. lrwiu, in a (ew well chosen senlelices moved a hearty vote ol thanks Inllie Mayor lor his efficiency and uniform efficiency in presiding during the year. The motion was seciiltded by AM. Wheeler, supported by Aid. Crickuiai, and passed unanimously. Minor Kealv thanked the council for Iheir lltmigliUtil consider,1 tion. BOGUS MONKY II. R. Hellell, local manager ol the Bank of B.N.A . is in nceipt ol advices, to the ellect that counterfeit hills have been uttered at certain places. One is a Bank of Toronto Ive dollat note, which has been raised In a ten, by cutting oul where the "5" appears and inserting a similar corner cut from a ten dollar note. The Bank of Toronto has therefore issued advices that it will nol redeem at llieir face value notes from which the corner has been removed. The other is a straight counterfeit ol iln- Bank of Montreal live dollar note. In this the photos are poor, the paper is pour, lite engraving ami the coloring are both feint. The whole elicit is much lighter in appearance than is lhe genuine; the numbering is done in black, whereas the official numbering of that particular issue was done in red. The picture ol the bank is crude and defective in lhe louulerfeit. While it is perhaps improbable that litis spurious money will bl circulated in the west, it is nevertheless just as well lhat the facts sliould be made public. MAVOR W. II.' MAV W.
