H. Cowan, M.P., relative to tin- work of the delegation at the capital, which letter was referred to the delegation by the council. Before reading tint- manuscript, .1. Balfour Ker explained that Aid. McNeish was not in quite the same position as the other two members oi the delegation with reference to the letter of Mr. Cowan, inasmuch as Mr. McNeish explained to the delegation previous tc the preparing of the supplementary report that Mr. Cowan had expressed to him his conviction that, as legislative representative for this constituency, he ought to write a letter ol explanation to the city council, and that the letter had been read to him (Aid. McNeish) after it was written. In a sense, therefore, the supplementary report is the deliverance of two- thirds of the delegation. Mr. Cowan's letter was as follows: Thomas Shepherd, Esq., City Clerk, North Vancouver, B. C. Dear Sir,—The dav before yesterday, the delegation, composed of Messrs. Ker, McNeisl- Dick and McNaught, had a long conference with Wm. McNeill, representing the railway company, in the presence of Ralph ■smith and myself. Mr. McNeill was frank in admitting that the land values should lie those of the date ol the charter extension,and that his compan sliould build ten miles within two years, connecting the two cities. In reference to the bridge, we had not, when I left the conference, reached an agreement. My position was that the construction of the bridge should be such as would support thc structure to be used, not only for railway, but also (or tram, vehicular and pedestrian trallic, and that these three matters, viz: thc land values, the construction of ten miles, and the character ol the bri,,.i should be incorporated into an agreement between the railway company and North Vancouver, and that this agreement should be incorporated into and become part ol and a condition of the extension act, which the company is now a-pplving for. ____________ Mr. McNeill did not, when 1 left val.ues' th.e construction thc conferenco, seem opposed to this. At noon, however, I had to leave, to attend a conference between the government and thc Vancouver delegation. On my return I met the delegation, who informed me that an agreement had been reached to insert into the bill now belore the house, a clause in the words ,,| the enclosure. Pursonally, I would have preferred if your delegation, bnort reaching an agreement with llu- company, had lurther confcrris wilh myself and with VOW so licitor here, Mr. Bethuiic. Mv tactical point in insisting on an agreement between the company and North Vancouver, was to prevent any further extension in the future without the consent of North Vancouver. However, the bridge difficulty made it difficult to get Gentlemen,-Said delegation, consisting of W. Ill N'cish, I). 0, Dick and ,1. B, Ker, in the matter of the letter from George II Cowan, M.P., to Thomas Shepherd, city clerk, North Vancouver, dated Ottawa, sth March, 1909, met at noon on the 2hth inst., and the letter received by J. B. Ker from the city clerk, covering Mr. Cowan's letter was read to the delegation. It was a surprise to two-thirds of the delegation, but Mr. -McNeish very frankly stated at once that Mr. Cowan had dictated this letter in his presence while in Ottawa, and that it had appeared to him to be a correct statement of matters. The undersigned Dick and Ker, however, do not agree altogether with this view of the matter. It is endeavored to indicate correctly any of the differences ol opinion in this report. Mr.Cowan's letter is taken seriatim by sentences: First sentence. "The dav before yesterday the delegation, composed of Messrs. Ker, McNeish, Dick and McNaught, had a long conference with William McNeill, representing the tai way company, in the preecnci oi Ralph Smith and myself" In reference to this, Mr. Mi- Naught was not, % as you are aware, of the delegation, llnil came along with it to the conference with Messrs. Rtilph Smith and W. McNeill. This conference with Ralph Smith took place by request ol the minister ol railways, antl as regards Mr. McNeill's presence that wa.s arranged by special desire of Ralph Smith, who was in charge ol the bill. Second sentence. "Mr. Mi Neill was frank in admitting that thc land values should be those of the date of the charu-i extension, and that his company should build ten miles within two years,connecting iln two cities." Re this, the delegation told Mr. McNeill what the city's resolutions were. Hi* reply was that he thought them very reasonable, and his words ahout expropriation values wen "There is a grievance ihere," or "That is a grievance." Fourth sentence. "Mv position was that the construe inn ol thc bridge should be smli ni would support the structure tu bc used, not only for a railwai but also for tram, vehicular ami pedestrian traffic,and thai llu-si three matters, viz., the land --^-^--mm^ I ten miles, and the character ul tin bridge, should be Incorporated into an agreement between llu railway company and Nurtli Vancouver, and that this agreement should be Incorporated m to and become part of and a condition of the extension act which the company is now applying for. Mr. McNeill did not, when I lefl the conference seem opposed to this." In reporting on the litter part of this letter we ask miititil t, note that wc do so in nu othei j spirit and with no other vieu than that Mr. Cowan is a na tleman of trained mind, talent and integrity, and when we differ from him, all diflwenm an stated in accordance with this attend to a Vancouver matter in connection with mother department of government. Mr. Cowan's first contention was that the bridge shuulil lie a joint trallic and railroad bridge. That such bridge should be built Ker staled, wa.s lhe desire oi all concerned, but alsu that iln- de- mud made upon the minister ul railways try the cilv, th.it .1 guarantee uf the itatine ul ,1 penalty, should be attached to the railway company, if it foil' ed to build ten miles in two years, Including the bridge, was not consistent with the lenglln negotiations which would be necessary if lhe linances wete nun to be searched lor in order to get the joint bridge constructed, Ker mentioned, however, that Mr. Jeffrey, secretary of the V. w. k Y. Ry. Co., had informed him a year ago that the foundations of the bridge would be sufficient to carry a joint bridge for railroad and traffic purposes either by overhead or lateral structure. Mr. McNeill then said that), owing to thc North Vancouver agitatioo, the detailed plans sent in to the dominion government by the railway coinpanv had, or showed foundations sufficient to support the Sl'KClAL COUNCIL 'Iiu city council held ,1 special mix 1 iug last evening lor the purpoM ol consulting wiih tlie liuliiiTs ul the former ,tru strei t contract, in order to wind it up preparatory to letting a new k >ii 11,ul under the muddied plans.

This point wc think Mr. Cowan hei forgotten lo mention in his let ter, and with relerence to Mr. McNcish's believing at tin- tiun the letter was dictated that il was ;■ 'nir resume of what bad takut place, we ivuiild sav lli.il the afternoon had been one ol strain, that the delegates wen so engrossed in the conference thai it was easy lo lake ,1 partial report for a complete one, antl not easy, owing to the heat and fatigue gem-rated by llu* conference, to state things at once as succinctly, or even u correctly, as could have been done had the matter itood ova and thc statement been revised Mr. Cowan's statement, thai Mr. McNeill did not, whin lu left the conference, seem oppo ed to all these points which Mr Cowan refers to being incorporated 111 an agreement and in tin act, was not evident lo twu thirds of the delegation.

McNah, the travelling freight agent ot the C.P.R.,wns in the city on Monday, in consultation with a committee ol the board of trade, relative to the possibility of arrangin- with his company for the transfer of freight cars on barges a* cross thc Inlet. Mr. KcNab went carefully over the ground and likewise considered such statistics as thc committee aru prepared to submit, and tlu- matter wa.s left in abcvaitce pending the procuring of further data. The chief dilliculty in the way of the scheme appears to be the fact that facilities could not be provided at the Lonsdale avenue wharf, and consequently I suitable wharf would have to be built on some other site. Thc company is favorably disposed toward the project if details could bc arranged. BOARD OF TRADE A special meeting of the executive committee of the board of trade was held on Tuesday evening.

Ry. of a railway bridge at Second Narrows, with substructures sufficient for the accommodation of a trallic bridge, was considered, but no recommendation was made. A. Philip read the drait ol a resolution favoring the appoin' ment of a harbor commission for the north shore of Burrard Inlet, which he will move at the general meeting of thi board on Tuesday evening next. per, of Mt.
