T. P. assessment\ncame before the city council last night\nin the form of a letter from Mayor Stork\nsetting forth the resultof the negotiations\nwith C. M. Hays at the council representatives' interview with him yesterday morning.\nThe letter ran as follows:-\n\"To the City Council of Prince Rupert.\n\"Gentlemen\n\"I beg to report that upon the request of Mr. Charles M. Hays of the\nGrand Trunk Pacific Railway Co I had\na conference with Mr. Hays this morning\naccompanied by Aid. Pattullo, Aid.\nLynch and City Solicitor Williams.\n\"Mr. Hays expressed his dissatisfaction with the assessment of the G. T. P.\nrailway property, and stated that his\ncompany would not undertake payment\nof the taxes based on such assessment.\n\"After a lengthy discussion of the\nwhole question we took this view, that\nowing to the fact that the present assessment roll was prepared by the\nprovincial government and handed over\nto the city, we are not in a position to\nalter the assessment roll, and therefore\ncannot in anyway alter the taxes to be\ncollected.\nYours truly,\nFRED STORK.\nThere was no discussion upon the\nsubject, the mayor's report being accepted by the council.\nRAILWAY SIDE OF ISSUE\nD'Arcy Tate seemed to be disappointed\nwith the outcome of the meeting of\nrailway officials and the city council,\nwhich took place in Superintendent\nMehan's office yesterday morning. He\nsaid as much on the Steamer Prince\nGeorge last night, just before sailing.\nHe considered the position taken by\nthe council was preposterous, and the\ncity assessment altogether unreasonable.\n\"Why, our company's assessments\nin Montreal and Toronto, the first and\nsecond largest cities of the Dominion,\nwith all the company's buildings that\nhave been accumulating there for many\nmany years, is less than the assessment\nplaced on our realty in Prihce Rupert.\"\nwas the statement made by the celebrated counsel of the company.\n\"We have here in Prince Rupert,\"\nhe went on, \"three hundred and forty\nacres of real property, which is un-\nBubdivided and cannot be sold until\n1963 under the terms of the Dominion\nAct and conforming to the bond mortgages. Yet the city has assessed this\nthree hundred and forty acres for as\nGeneral Strike Is On, Tying Up\nAll the Shipping and Nearly All\nThe Trains.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDTroops are Fired\nUpon At Seaport of Bilboa.\nmuch as the balance of the townsite,\nwhich comprises seventeen hundred\nacres with practically all the buildings\nof the city on it. I think I can fairly\ncall this an outrage.\"\n\"And President Hays told the Optimis\nthis afternoon, Mr. Tate, that the company did not purpose beginning the\nbuilding of the hotel and other improvements under the circumstances?\"\n\"Certainly; that is the point. I have\nnot had time to read the Optimist yet\nbut take it for granted that is what Mr.\nHays said. He could not very well say\notherwise. It would not be a business\nproceeding, and the company's dry dock,\nshops, yards, hotel and so on must remain in abeyance meantime.\n\"What they may do at the council\nmeeting this evening of course I have\nno idea; but from what the mayor and\nthe aldermen with him said, there is no\nhope of anything being done to change\nthe situation this year. We might wait\nand apply to the next council, going\nthrough the same arguments and possibly with the same results. Large enterprises cannot afford to wait, or be kept\nwaiting, in this manner. What course\nthe company will now take has to be\ndecided as soon as possible and decided\ndefinitely.\"\n(Special to the Optimist)\nBilboa, Spain, August 29.\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDThe situation in Spain continues to go from bad\nto worse and if the country is not in\nactive revolution at the present time\nit is very near to it. The general strike\nis spreading everywhere, and this is the\nplot of the Carlists aided and abetted\nby clericals, who are actively fomenting\nthe outbreak.\nShipping in all the harbors is tied up\nand very few trains are running. It is\nsaid all the trains will stop tomorrow all\nover the country. Thousands are idle\neverywhere and inclined to violence.\nThis morning all the strikers began\nto be violent and the troops were ordered\nout to restore order. The strikers fired\non the troops and the latter retreated.\nIt is feared they are in sympathy with\nthe strikers.\nAdditional outbreaks are predicted\nfrom various points, and news travels\nslowly from point to point owing to the\nstrict censorship of the government.\nH.

In saying goodbye last\nnight he said impressively \"I hope to visit you again soon: probably before your new\nrailway is completed.\"\nThis undoubtedly means that, as he has stated, he if fully satisfied the cons-\nditions and the situation for the building up of a great fishing industry on this coast\nwith headquarters at Prince Rupert. This being so one may expect him to go about\nthe establishment of such an industry immediately upon his return home to Grimsby.\nHe is a man of large means and of powerful influence. A man who does things when\nhe makes up his mind and does not need to form a financial corporation, with its\ndelays, in order to carry out any plans he may form, no matter of what magnitude.\nIt is to be hoped Sir George does come again, and soon.\nThe ladies of the company also enjoyed their trip immensely and were not slow\nto praise everthing they had seen and experienced, even the weather. But among the\nofficials, all smiling and courteous and well-met gentlemen, there was a trifle of\ngloom behind their charming smiles. The country was all right, the railway was going\nahead fine, but the legislation of the city council did not seem to agree with them, j\nSo perhaps their goodbye handshakes were not so cordial as those given at their\ngreeting. And no wonder. They had been enjoying the lovliest kind of weather, j\nand were hilarious over everything- But a cloud \"the size of a man's hand\" came up '\nand silence reigned.\nCondensed Advertisements.\nARE YOU IN NEED OF HELP ?

It was a time for astute business methods, requiring\nfirmness and sound judgment, but the aldermen attempted to throw the responsibility upon the late assessor who was appointed at the request of the citizens'\ncommittee and paid by the city. The assessor was a city officer, but even if he\nwere a provincial officer it does not relieve the couna.il from any responsibility.\nIt was simply a cowardly way of avoiding taking a stand which might not meet\nwith unanimous approval.\nThe Optimist does not advocate that the city council should give way to all\nthe claims of the Grand Trunk Pacific, or to give up a right or just tax belonging\nto the city. The people must be in control if we are going to have a city, and\nthat control must not be sacrificed; but in refusing to argue an apparently\nreasonable claim or give reason for turning it down shows a very disappointing\nweakness in the mayor and council.\nOne of the real causes for the present difficulty with the G.T.P., which promises to grow larger with ensuing weeks, has been the secrecy which the\ncouncil has maintained in its negotiations with the railway company. The question of this assessment has been before the council for some week but it was\nkept secret. The newspapers and the public were not let in on it. Consequently when the representatives of the railway company came up here to treat with\nthe council and get public opinion on the question they discovered that the citizens were entirely ignorant of the issue. After the council have succeeded in\nantagonizing the G.T.P. and bringing on a big law suit the citizens are being let\nin\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDmostly for costs.\nThe council have a lot of questions that are pretty big for them to handle,\nbut treating them in private is not likely to strengthen the public's faith in them.\nthe Wolfe creek power for four years\nthe company reserving the right to the\nsurplus Wolfe creek water power. Or,\nthe company offered the city a half share\nin the Falls River power provided the\ncity would assist in the development of\nthis power.\nThe Mayor was unwilling that the\ndetails of these propositions be made\npublic at the present stage. The Tsimpsean proposition was not read but Mr.\nBrutinel was present.\nSeeing this Aid. Barrow wanted to\nknow if the propositions by the Tsimpsean\nLight and Power Co, might be considered as separate deals.\nMr. Brutinel came forward and on\nthe request of the mayor said that this\nunderstanding of the Tsimpsean propositions could not be entertained as\nthe two first propositions set out in the\nstatement before the council were money\nlosers.\nAid. Barrow said that he would like\nto consider the city engineer's proposal\nto establish a steam plant at the foot\nof McBride street.\nVhe mayor pointed out that in any\nof the firm's propositions set out before them the city was expected to supply\npoles and distributing equipment for\nthe current supplied. In the installation\nof a small city-owned system the only\nthing really temporary about it was the\nengine and dynamo. The distributing\nplant would be permanent and city\nproperty.\nAid.Mclntyre said that he believed in\nmunicipal ownership. \"Let us instal\nA local jurist of considerable merit remarks that a bad settlement is better\nthan a good lawsuit\nWith three large prospective law suits already on their hands the present\ncouncil can be said to be doing fairly well.\nAid.

We submitted the\nproposition because we thought the city\nwanted to solve at once both the power\nand light problems. Now I understand,\"\nhe went on \"that the city wish to consider all the propositions more fully and\nmay instal a plant of their own.\" To this\npostponement for further consideration Mr. Brutinel said he readily agreed.\n\"I am sure\" he said \"that the Tsimpsean\nCo. has the only practical water power\nfor the purpose in view. We are not\nwolves nor beasts of prey\" he said\nemphatically; \"we are anxious to make\na fair deal with the city and are confident that in time the city of Prince\nRupert and the Tsimpsean Co., will be\non the friendliest terms and doing\nmutually profitable business together.\"\nAid. Pattullo declared himself strongly\nin favour of a scheme that would light\nthe whole city.

Naden said that as far as cost\nwas concerned he believed that the\nengineers' $30,000 scheme might prove\nin the end the most ecominical and give\nthe most marketable supply. He thought\nhowever that the Sash and Door factory\nmight perhaps be approached again with\na view to business and if their offer\n, was definitely off that the city engineer\nshould be asked to get estimates for a\n\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD\u00EF\u00BF\u00BD small power plant to tide the city over\nfor the present.\nAid.

It would be only a\nlimited light supply at that, however,\nand the city would put $6166 worth of\nmachinery into the Sash and Door\nCo's hands. Probably the cost of plant\nwould total up to nearly $10,000 and\nwould not properly light even Section\nOne. A city owned plant could be put\nup at McBride street on city ground\non a good rock foundation, and the\ninstallation of the $30,000 plant would\nbe adequate for several years to come.\n\"1 am in favor of this scheme\" said the\nmayor.\nAld.Hilditch said that the Sash and\nDoor factory sheme looked costly but\nIt was not really so expensive and it\nwould be ready soon while the cityl\nengineer's plant would take a long time\nto be ready.\n\"But if we cannot get the Sash and I\nDoor factory's plant offered over again;\nthen I am satisfied that we can get\ntenders through our \"wn engineers in\nthe city of Prince Rupert who will be\nready to give us light in a very short\ntime. We could get estimates from firms\nin Vancouver who could give us power\nand give it to us early. But even if we\nget only 2,000 lights from the Sash and\nDoor factory it is better than no light\nat all. We were in the dark last year\nit is true, and none of us liked it. I\nthtok we should call for tenders on the\nspecification of our engineer and put\na time limit of say twelve weeks on the\nwork.\"\nAid. Lynch said that he had installed\nboilers and engines nearly as big as those\nproposed for the Sash and Door factory\nscheme in two weeks.\nAid. Hilditch asked how it was that\nthe city engineer had figured it would\ntake so long to instal a plant, and Mr.\nBurns who was present explained that\nthe engineer had been liberal in allowing\nthe time set.\nAid.

Hilditch who meanwhile had been\nhaving a little talk with Mr. Burns rose\nto say that he understood it would take\nfrom six to eight weeks to put in a city\nplant. \"\"Let us send wires down to\nVancouver and have a lighting plant\nquickly\" he said.\nAid.

The griginal cost\nof staging the eastern scene was supposed\nto be fifty-one millions. This has been\namended. What the other scene cost\nnobody seems to care; so long as it keeps\nmoving.\nThe photographs were taken at a\npoint west of Superior Junction.
