West Vancouver May
Operate Own Busses
Over New Bridge-

WEST VANCOUVER, BC, Dec. 15.—Sitrong sentiment was
expressed against any curtailment of the present ferry service
by a meeting of 500 people in the Inglewood High School Audi-
torium last weekend which brought from the reeve and council

pledges to make no changes in
transportation without first con-
sulting the public of the munici-
pality first.

The meeting. which was called by
the West Vancouver Ratepayers’
Association, was primarily for the
purpose of questioning the reeve
and council on their stewardship
of municipal affairs, but the main
discussion revolved around muni-
cipal transportation, a topic of im-
portance here.

Speakers disclosed that the ferry
receipts were down by 30 percent
since opening of the Lion’s Gate
Bridge and urged municipal own-
ership of the transportation system.

Since this municipality has the
right at any and all times to oper—

ate its own busses in competition
with other transport systems over
the bridge, Reeve Leyland evinced
the fact that a terminal site had
been offered.

In speaking of their stewardship,
council members revealed there
was a surplus of $20,000 on hand.
Crowded high schools where base-
ments and halls were made avail-
able for classes pointed to the need
for enlarged school buildings. At
present some classes have between
44 and 52 students, and it is esti-
mated that by spring there will be
500.

inadequacy of the present water
system was singled out by the
speakers. 5

|\Demand Construction

Lillocet-Bridge River
Highway Ass'n Is Formed

LILLOOET, BC, Dec. 15.—Demands for roads from organ-
ized districts all over BC were given added strength by 3,000

members of the newly tormed

Lillooet-Bridge River Highway

Assn which threatens to build the remaining 13 miles between

here and Bridge River if the pro-
vineial government refuses to pro-
vide the funds.

The 13 miles would connect with
the Moha road on the east and
Bridge River road on the west and
provide an outlet for the 400 auto-
mobile owners in the Bridge River
ralley whose only means of trans-
portation to the outside is by ferry
te the main road here or by ship-
ping via the PGE railway-

Estimated cost given by an en-

sineer is $275,000, which includes a
$75,000 bridge over the mouth of
the Bridge River and improve-
ments on the Moha road.

Of the 13 miles remaining to com-—
plete the link two miles are said
to be of rock formation while the
rest is considered easy to construct.

Meanwhile a committee has been
struck off to look over that or any
other route which might be feasible
and report its findings and est-

mated cost of such a project.

Reported For Relief
Work Without Shces

Weed of overhauling the relief department and changing its
inhuman treatment of recipients as advanced by Labor Pro-
sressives in their election campaign is amply borne out by the
treatment of Stanley Matthews, a married man living at 1690

East Pender Street.

Wot satisfied with refusing the
man’s request for shoes Over a2
period of three weeks relief of-
ficials now demand that he work
out his shift before he gets any
food allowance.

Matthews is a sick man and has
been attending a doctor for four
years. For the past five months he
has been aitending the outpatients’
department of the General Hospital
for stomach trouble.

On November 28 he received in-
structions to work out his five
days in Stanley Park. Last Wriday
when he reported for work without

was the way he had been going for
a week, the foreman had him taken
back to the relief office in one of
the city’s trucks, but there the re-
lief authorities refused to do any-
thing.

After reporting his case to one
of the local daily papers their Santa
Claus department provided him
with boots.

Tuesday was his relief day, but
here again he was refused any as-
sistance until he had completed
his five days work. The next day
their hard hearts softened a little
and the work shift was reduced to
