BRITISH COLUMBIA FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20th, 1925 SUBSCRIPTION PRICE; TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM DREDGE WORK AT COURTENAY CRITICIZED COURTENAY, Nov. 17—Very eevere criticism ot the dredging operations which are at present being carried on In the Courtenay River were heard at last night's city council meeting. Two ot the aldermen expressed the opinion that the type of dredge being used Is unsutted to the work. It was suggested that the present operations are being taken In hand merely tor the purpose of enabling the contractors to regain what was said to have been lost on aformer contract. Aid McKenzie brought the matter up when he reported that it was almost Impossible to obtain trucks to receive the contents of dredge at the wharf Alderman Cooke thought that the matter should he brought to the attention of the Board of Trade. The mayor was of the opinion that the dredging work In the river opposite Captain Lloyd's property was fairly satisfactory. Alderman McKenzie agreed with Aid. Cooke that the matter should be brought to the attention of the Board of Trade and to the attention of Mr. A. W. Neill, the local member in the Federal House. He doubted if the public officials knew what was going on. Mayor Duncan suggested that there must be some specifications that had to be carried out before payments were made to the contractors, and thought the proper way would be to ask the engineer to come before the council. This view seemed to meet with Alderman Pearse's approval who wanted to know wha/ Mr. Neill or any other member of parliament knew about dredging work. Alderman Field was In favor of putting the matter before Mr. Neill as lt waa he who obtained the appropriation for the dredging work. Alderman McKenzie felt sure that Mr. Neill was under the impression that the money was being spent to advantage while some of the members of the council thought that it wasn't. He would like Mr. Neill to know the facts. At this point the mayor aaid "It you get Mr. Neill and Mr. Forde the engineer to the Board of Trade you will have all the machinery on the spot." A meeting of the transportation committee of the Board of Trade, Mr, Nelll's committee and city representatives will probably take place in the very near future. City clerk Mr. C. S. Wood reported that Mr. J. M. Mitchell, city solicitor, had received notice that Mr. A. M. Hilton had been appointed by Mr.D. Roy as his arbitrator In the matter of the expropriation of Mr. D. Roy's property by the city. Alderman Cooke, ln asking how much a chairman of a committee could apend In excess of the estimates of expenditure for his department, thought that the city was beginning to sail close to the wind as far aa the public works department was concerned. The next work to be done should be that which is the moat essential, he thought, and he wished to draw attention to this matter. Mayor Duncan said, "As chairman of the finance committee Alderman Cooke was quite right to. bring this to the council's attention." Alderman Cooke went on to say that the city would probably have a larger surplus than had been expected and suggested that Alderman McKenzie, as chairman of the public works department call a meeting of his committee after which the council could perhaps make further provision for public work. Alderman McKenzie would, he said, be quite pleased to call the suggested meeting On motion of Aid. Macdonald, after he had submitted a report as chairman of the light committee, the window lighting rate for store keepers etc., is to be reduced from 7 cents to 4 cents. In his report Aid. Mcdonald showed how high rates for power were a handicap to Industry. The I Creamery, for instance, who were I paying 3H cents for power, had to ] compete with a rate of % per cent | which prevailed elsewhere. Recently I when this organization had contem- ! plated the manufacture of milk pow- I der, it was found that owing to the high cost of electrical power and coal such an undertaking would not be profitable. In the midst of an abundance of both water power and coal, power should be at the very lowest rate, he thought. A by-law, which received its first and second reading and which was Introduced by Aid. Cooke, would amend the business tax on Banks from twenty-live dollars per year to one hundred dollars. On motion of Aid. McKenzie and ^s. seconded by Aid. Cooke, it was decided to purchase a new Chevrolet light truck for the city. A grdht many other matters kept the council busy until midnight. DUNSMUIR AVE. ENJOYED FREE RADIO CONCERT Storekeepers and householders on and adjacent to Dunsmuir Avenue were treated to a rare concert yesterday afternoon, and what was more Important, It didn't cost a red cent. John Cameron, genial proprietor of the Cumberland Motor Works, turned loose his De Forest-Crosley R-5 Radio and so perfect was the reception that several people thought an orchestra was playing ou the avenue. The music could be heard from one •nd of the town to the other, and was an excellent demonstration of whut a really fine radio set can accomplish. The Cumberland Motor Works are authorized De Forest-Crosley dealers.

The exteriors of the Carlyle home show the result of that research and painstaking adherence to reality, for ming Borne of the most attractive and lavish sets seen In any recent picture. Heading the all-star cast to be seen in "East Lynne" are Edmund Lowe and Alma Rubens, with the following support, Lou Tellegen, Marjorie Daw, Frank Keenan, Belle Bennett, Lydia Knott and Leslie Fen- ton. A moating of the Parent Teachers j Association was held in the Public' School building on the evening of i November 16, 1925. The meeting was i well attended L'.v both parents and I teachers. The mem'.ershlp of the i Association is increasing numerically j and several new members wore en- j rolled after the conclusion of Iho evening's business. For the programme coinmlitee II WB> announced by Dr. G. K. Mac- Naughton that promises had been made by Dr. Weir and Mr. C. U. Wood i to address the Association In the near future. He also Bald that at a tu- ture meeting, perhaps in January, a question box would be instituted, giving everyone an opportunity to ask for Information without embarrassment. Mrs. Apps reported tor the social committee that the teachers had very kindly presented them with a new kettle and everything wus In order for the carrying out of the social programme which comprised the serving ot refreshments to thu j meeting. A most interesting report was sub- mltled by the library committee. Miss Partridge, the convenor, repor- ted that she, together with Mis Gal- llvan and Mr. Shenstone, had inter- viewed the Board of School Trustees ! to declare the need for more books in the school library. Their plea for more books had received kindly con- slderatlon from thc Board who had J voted a donation of $200 for the pur-! pose of making additions to the 11- j brary list. Miss Partridge also read to the meeting a list of brochures. forty in number, dealing with all phases of child lite and parental responsibility. This list had been Obtained from the Point Grey Parent Teachers Association and the treat- j ment of the subject mailer In the books had their full approval. Thc total cost was (10.00. II was resolved by the meeting to open a sub scription list and any member wishing to present the Association with one ot the books could do so by paying 25 centa. On behalf of the visiting committee Mrs. lit,Wilson staled that they had made a visit to the school uml thai she had been very greatly impressed by the excellent way in which things were done. II was her (lrsl visit to a Canadian school. Tho "piece de resistance" of the evening was u report read by Mrs. Hanks of the convention of School Boards held tills year in Victoria, While the report was too lengthy to print in detail, some ol' Ihe outstanding features may be given. A long discussion hud been entered into at the convention on the advisability of equalizing tlle rates of school luxes throughout the province. Some school districts hail been receiving Government grant! far beyond their Just needs while other districts hud been burdened by a heavy mill rate. Equalized rates, computed soleutlf- lially, would spread the burden even- Is and fairly. Another controversy and one which had, hy all accounts, laken a deal of the attention and lime of the convention, was Ihe question of abolishing or at least modifying the exam luatlou system of admitting pupils lo high school. Some delegates were of the opinion that Intelligence tests should supersede examinations, and the concensus of opinion seemed to be that this superscdure will eventually take place. Tho meeting vtoed a hearty vote of thanks to Mrs. Hanks for her splendid address, and resolved thai u letter of thanks should bo iont to thc School Board for their generous contribution lo iho school library, The visiting committee for the month of December Is Mrs. I'llmou.

Hi On Frlduy ninhi iho berry men of the district hold n meeting In the Agricultural Hull for the purpose of winding up the Benson's business. Nearly four thousand dollars worth of small fruit had been bandied by the association Idurlug the season at a cost of about ten por cenl of the turnover. This wns considered a very reasonable percentage. About slxiy per cent of the total receipts had already been paid to ilie growers and some of the berries sent to ihe lie. Berry Growers' l'nion In the enrly part of the Boason bad not been pnld for. The debt amounted to over four hundred dollars which equalled nearly len per cenl o( tin- total receipts, Mr. N. Prltchard, secrotary of the local association, said it wns unfortunate that tho amount had not been paid, but bo could seo no other way but to ss-nd the fruit to the l'nion at the lime. Mr. II.

Mason At The Royal Candy Store Or Phone 25 Residence Phone 22 CAB car A rather interesting question has been submitted to the writer. "If your partner bids, no-trump and second hand bids two hearts, with what type of hand should you double?" There arc two separate and distinct cases in which the partner of the no-trump bidder should do-.ilsta an adverse over bid on his right. For example, suppose the dealer bid one no-trump, second hand bid two hearts a ml you hold the following hand: Hearts —7,2 Clubs—K.J. M Diamonds — A, J, 10, 5 Spades — K, 10,2 Don't yen think you should double two hearts? K your partner has a no-trump hand, it should be impossible for the heart bidder to make his contract. On the other hand, it would be difficult to score game at no-trump or a suit bid. On the other hand, suppose your partner bids one uo-tmnip, second hand bids two hearts a nd you hold the following hand: Hearts—1,10,9, 7,5 Clubs —R, 7 4, 2 Diamonds —K, 10,2 Spades —10 Don't you think ynu ought to double two hearts with this hand ? If your partner haa a sound no-trump you should defeat the two heart bidder by two or three tricks. These hands are not inconsistent. They merely specify the two types that justify a double of an adverse two bid over partner's no-trump. The same player has suggested that •,'ith strong hands ol the first type, it would be better to double with the understanding that the original no-trump bidder should bid his best suit. This type of informatory double has been tried out many times hut it not considered gqc 1 tactics. The whole purpose of the informatory double is to force partner who has not yet bid to show his suit. To extend this principle to one who haa already bid is carrying the principle too far. By bidding no-trump, a player declares himself as havltjg at least two quick tricks distributed tn at least three suits. To ask him to give further information is unnecessary. If he has greater strength than indicated by his no-trump bid, he should be allowed to show this strength voluntarily without being forced to do so by his partner'a informatory double. He has done his duty by bidding no-trump. K he is overbid, his partner should not take up the burden. If he has a good suit, he should bid It. If he has a hand that justifies a double, he should double. If he has a hand that justifies a two no- trump bid, he should bid it. If his hsnd does not justify any such action, he should pass. It is then up to the no- trump bidder to make another bid if his hand justifies it. Auction is a partnership game and the object of the bidding is to find the best bid of the combined hand, the best bid for twenty-six cards, not thirteen. This can be best arrived at by bidding alter partner has bid rather than by use of the informatory doubles which force bids, because forced bids are always hard to read. They may have strength and they may not. Never voluntarily place yourself in a position where you must guess as to your partner's strength if there le any other way open. Guesses, no matter how brilliant, can never cope with cold, hardsfacta. In this connection a restatement ol the nature of a bustnesadouble is pertinent. A business double is a double mad.: for the purpose of defeating the bid doubled. Any double is a business double if made after partner has bid or doubled, or any double of an original suit bid of four or more, or a double of an original two no-trump. In this connection please note that alter partner has bid a no-trump and opponents have overbid and the partner of the no-trump bidder has doubled, such a double is a business double and made (or the purpose of defeating the bid.
