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
