The council at that time purchased the Army Camp and since that time - it has been able to house several hun- dred people who otherwise would have been homeless. Also the ° council has practically realized the purchase price of the Army Camp through the sale of land and buildings. The same “administration was responsible for the hiring of a city engineer, which policy was since proven to be correct. The drafting of a sewer bylaw by the same council and several other progressive plans made that council one of the best that the city has ever had. Yates has pledged that if alect- ed he will thoroughly investigate the possibility of establishing a partially permanent fire depart- ment and stands for a compre- hensive pubHe works program that will give Port Alberni de- cent streets and sidewalks.
