BINDING THE

One of the chief arguments
against the calling of another

was that it would entail a great

the bylaw to the people was
revealed in the questions put
to the Mayor, Aldermen and
City Engineer by interested
citizens. City Engineer Mason
admitted that the laying of the
sewer in Prince Rupert would
probably cost more per lineal

foot than any system in Amer-
ica; yet, according to Alderman
Dybhavn, the father of the by-
law, all the consultation neces-

sary could be done by reading
books on the subject. He ad-
mitted that he did not know
anything about the scheme
other than had been told him
by Engineer Mason. If no

pther competent engineer is to
be called in for consultation,
who in that case will be the
man whose knowledge will be
gleaned from a book?
Contrary statements were
made by the Mayor and Alder-
man Dybhayn as to the method
of Mr. Mason’s work, one say-

ing that he consulted author-
ities as he worked and the
other making the statement

that he worked and then con-
sulted authorities,

With no other authority than
Mr. Mason and the books which
he or Alderman Dybhayn may
or may not have read on the
subject, the Council has the
audacity to come before the
citizens and ask them to ap-
prove of a scheme which will
ultimately mean the expendi-
ture of between three and one.
half and four millions.

The borrowing power of a
city is limited by law to a cer-
tain percentage of the assessed
value of the assessable prop-

erty. At present the
value of the property which
can be taxed is in the vicinity
of $16,000,000, Already

Prince Rupert would have

nanny years to come,

The amount necessary each
year for interest and sinking
fund would be enormous and
each year would cost much

more than the cost of the pres-

ent system in Section One,
which drains one third the
area proposed.

CONSISTENCY
is LACKING.
Mayor Newton certainly is
not overburdened with = any

great load of consistency. Last

night he stated that the one
reason he did not call in the
advise of experts was on ac-
count of the faith he had in
Mr. Mason. He would run the
risk with the citizens’ money

because of his personal regard
for Mr. Mason's qualifications,
and later he stated that

“Ninety-four thousand out of

were in the names of women. A

Only 24 per cent. of the lands
