Alberni Pioneer A^ lLlJ-\ Volume 5. Port Alberni, B. C, Jan. 13, 49T1. No. 23 GOVERNMENT GRANTS PORT ALBERNI PETITION Masquerade Ball, Enormous Delegation Has Desired Effect In Victoria— Incorporation Without Further Delay—Bright Outlook For New City at the Head of Alberni Canal—Civic Works To Be Proceeded With. Just as soon as the usual form can be gone through Port Alberni will have a municipal election, the government at Victoria having decided on Thursday of this week to grant the petition for incorporation which was presented in August last. The decision of the government to issue the letters patent forthwith was arrived at after the case, for and against, had been exhausted by delegations from Port Alberni and Alberni on Tuesday and Wednesday. The monster delegation, 33 in number, from Port Alberni, was received by the Executive council on Tuesday when all the arguments that were made before were repeated in condensed form and with stronger emphasis. The delegation took up but little of the Executive Council's time, simply pressing in the strongest manner possible for a definite decision without further delay. The only representative of Alberni present at this session was C. M. Pineo. Mr. Pineo took no part in the discussion, confining himself to taking notes for the Alberni delegation, which it was announced would appear the following day. Premier McBride suggested that some of the Port Alberni delegates should also be present the next day, and about half of the delegation remained over in Victoria for that purpose. - The Alberni delegation was composed of Jas. R. Motion, A, W. Neill and H. H. Browne. Before noon on Thursday Premier McBride announced that the petition of the Port Alberni people would be granted in accordance with the prayer which meant that the boundaries were not to be altered. A substantial report of the. case and the outcome is given by the Victoria Colonist as follows: An executive decision of very great importance to the development of the west coast of Vancouver Island was reached yesterday by the Provincial Cabinet, when it was decided to grant the petition for the incorporation of the City of Port Alberni, in connection with which letters patent will now issue at the earliest possible date. This petition has been before the government since August last, but has been held up through strong opposition offered by the old town of Alberni. The residents of that town, which is two miles distant from Port Alberni. the terminus of the newly opened section of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, agitated for municipal union with Port Alberni, or, failing that, for an alteration of the proposed civic boundary. The Executive decision was from time to time postponed in the hope that residents of the two neighbor towns might reach some amicable arrangements, but this was found to be impossible. Finally the citizens of Port Alberni grew somewhat impatient and sent an influential delegation, thirty-five strong to Victoria by special train, commissioned to urge as energetically as possible the immediate granting of the petition. This delegation waited upon the Executive on Tuesday, and on Wednesday was followed by a smaller delegation from Alberni. After hearing both sides of the case the decision as announced above was reached, and was yesterday communicated to the inter ested parties by Premier McBride. Port Alberni, the new city, is the fifth city to obtain incorporation on Vancouver Island, although its energetic citizens both hope and expect that it will in a few short years take rank second only to Victoria on this island. Great developments in the way of railway enterprise, lumbering 'and mining are now taking place in the contiguous district. The Canadian Pacific (E. & N.) has already completed its connection with the town, and the Canadian Northern Pacific has surveyed its line through to the southern boundary of the new city. The B. C. Telephone Co. has installed a local service during the past few months, and it is confidently expected that the trunk service with Victoria and other coast cities will be inaugurated this year also. When the infant city has emerged from the throes of its first municipal election, among the urgent duties awaiting the attention of its Tcouficil Will be the provision of adequate water and sewerage services, and attention to the streets of the town. Its citizens are enthusiastically optimistic as to the future growth of their city, especially as Port Alberni will be on the through route for mail and passengers between Canada and the Orient, as recently announced. Apart from the many valuable resources of the district which alone suffice to make it a busy city, Port Alberni aspires to become one of the important seaports of the Northern Pa- cifiic seaboard.

Continued Increase In Provincial Revenue The public accounts for the last completed fiscal year, which were presented to the provincial legislature yesterday by Finance Minister Ellison, show in unchallengeable terms the satisfactory condition of the country's business and its substantial growth during the twelvemonth under review, an increase in revenue over that of the last preceding year of $1,618,150.33beingrecorded, while the increase in the aggregate of public expenditures, keeping pace sympathetically with the growth and development of the province amounted to $1,- 811,809.68, the grand totals for the contrasted periods being: Net Revenue. Net Expenditure 1909-10 1909-10 $ 8,874,741.94 $ 6,382,993.27 1910-11 1910-11 $10,492,892.27 $ 8,194,802.95 At the close of the fiscal year, on the 31st March last, the balance sheet of the province showed a total of provincial assets over all obligations and liabilities of $1,497,694.35, with a cash balance in bank and in the treasury (inclusive of the gold bar deposit of $511.18 with the Canadian Bank of Commerce and various sums in cash in the hands of district agents aggregating $269,398.71) of no less an amount than $8,744,197.63. Analysis of the several sources of provincial income producing the general increase of slightly better than eighteen per cent, in revenue indicates development and expansion in all departments proportionally well maintained; for while land sales constitute a notable exception in showing a decrease for the year from $2,618,188.75 to $2,- 431,231.36, this is almost offset by the one related item of land revenue, leaping within the year from $175,778.11 to $321,586.98. Other conspicuous examples of increase are noted in the advance of license receipts from $58,951.49 to $92,- 498.00; of succession duties from $108, 495.39 to $200,459.88 (almost doubling); of registry fees from $408,826.15 to $613,092.22; of wild land taxes from $250,904.71 to $316,130.83; of printing office receipts from $65,194.44 to $127,- 776.49; of rebates under the Chinese restriction act from $356,200.00 to $1,066,- 000.00; of fishing and cannery licenses from $31,340.00 to $83,657.79; and bf'in- terest from $157,493.13 to $282,772.40- a very different condition from that indicated in the accounts for 1902-3 (the first year of the McBride regime) when the interest total appearing in the statement of provincial revenue amounted to exactly $256.63.

While no authoritative announcement has been made on the subject it is the general belief in political circles that there is to be a general provincial election after the present session of the British Columbia parliament. Referring to this the Victoria Colonist of yesterday said: If the government shall ask the Lieutenant-Governor to grant a dissolution of the House and a new election, there will be nothing at all unprecedented in such a course. The practice both at Ottawa and London, as well as in many of the provinces, is not to allow a legislature to live out its full term, and in a province like British Columbia, into which there is a constant influx of new people, and in which new areas are being opened up, it is excellent policy to have elections at frequent intervals, so that the legislature may be truly representative. If the present House is not dissolved until after its fourth session, that is in 1913, and the next House shall sit out its full term there would be one election between 1909 and 1917, which we submit is too long a period for the affairs of the province to be carried on without an appeal to the people in view of the rapid increase in the population and the changing conditions of the community. For this reason, if for no other, if Mr. McBride shall determine to advise the Lieutenant-Governor that a dissolution after the present session is desirable, he will be consulting the public interest. Opponents of the government will no doubt object; but they will also object if he permits the House to live out its full term. Mr. McBride is not likely to do in this or any bther matter of vital importance what his captious critics say he ought to do, for experience has shown that they are never right.
