A REPLY TO “TAXPAYER”

In reply to the letter last week in the Herald from “Taxpayer” of. Smith- ers, it might be pointed out that while tt young person, or even'an older per- son, nay be brought from other dist-

tet,” Titimerons instances may be clted of young, people from this district hav- ing been. given positions in other parts of the province by the provinelal gov- ernment, and at least one young man‘ from: Smithers: is among the number. The Herald believes. that the policy of moving young people around: to differ- ent sections is a good one, The pro- vince helongs to all the people in the province, and because a person lives in the south is no reason why he should not get a job in the north, and visa versa. It is aiso a good way to edu- cate the people of the province at to the merits of the different sections, . Then again the man who. recently. took a position in the public works of- fice at Smithers was an experienced man from Victoria, and be is only fill- ing a temporary position while Sin- clair is away on sick leave. There is therefore to complain about.
