There was not a large vote east, for the reason, probably, that so many took it for granted that this would be the result in any case and therefore avoided the trouble of going to vote. In all, 270 ballots were cast. To carry the bylaws a_ three-fifths majority is required. This would be 162 for each bylaw, and, as a matter of fact, the lowest vote east, that for the Second street excavation, was 199 with six spoiled ballots. The bylaws will now receive the formal! consent of the coun- cil and become law, and the flota- tion of debentures to raise the money can be immediately under- taken. Everybody was pleased at the result of the voting, as it en- sures a large expenditure on pub- lic works that are badly needed. “What will be the next course the. council will take?’ Mayor Pattullo was asked this morning. “To get the money,” he smil- predicted, BY SUBSTANTIAL MAJORITIES His 3 GRATIFICATION AND EX- PLAINS THE NECESSARY COURSE TO BE NOW TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL. ingly replied. Then he went on to say: “Tam naturally gratified at the result of yesterday's vote on the bylaws. It shows that the rate- payers are pleased with the work of the council. We are now ina position to undertake the flota- tion of our bonds. In this con- nection the public will be glad to know that we have the assurance of the Grand Trunk Pacific that they will render us every possible assistance. From this it does not necessarily follow that we will be able to make the flotation as the money market is very stringent, but the assistance of the railway is indispensable to our success. With this in view we should al- ways bear in mind that the city and the railway must co-operate at all times for their mutual benefit. “We have a great deal of work ahead of us during the next fort- night, by which time I expect ad- vices that will definitely determine (Continued on Page 4.) CREW HAVE As the result of an explosion of gasoline yesterday the G. R. Hughes, a fishing boat owned and operated by the Deep Sea Fishing Supply Co. of Vancouver, was burned to the water's edge and the majority of a crew of twelve had hairbreadth escapes from being blown to pieees or drowned. The accident oceurred about 11 o'clock in the morning while the boat was lying at anchor some three hundred yards from the shore of Stephens Island and about thirty miles from Prince Rupert. The boat had made an early start for the fishing banks but on account of trouble with her exhaust had to come to an- chor for repairs. When the ac- cident happened most of the men were around the bow of the boat on deck and as the explosion was in the forward tank most of them were thrown into the water. The bow of the staunch boat was com- pletely blown to pieces. Captain James Batt, who happened to be near the stern, with the assist- anee of another man immediately launched a dory. Several men were swiniming and calling for lines. Fortunately all were picked up by the dory and made their way to shore, The large boat took fire as soon as the ex- plosion occurred, but owing to the bow being blown out it filled with water, thus preventing the fire from doing as much damage as it otherwise would. About twenty minutes after the first explosion another tank in the after part of the boat explodéd with a terrific report, the flames shooting high in the air. Luckily, a fisherman from Dundas Island named Thomas Anderson saw the flames and im- mediately set out with a launch to investigate and assist those in distress. On his arrival at the place where the aceident hap- pened he brought the whole crew to Prince Rupert, arriving here about 7 o’elock Jast night. Two of the men, James March and |Joseph Marsh, were quite seri. ously injured and they were im. mediately transferred to the hos. pital here, Two others, Kenneth Hieks and Josiah Babeock, were jalso taken to the hospital this | morning. Nearly all had to have FISHING BOAT EXPLODED; NARROW ESCAPE —veenpectiiivnnaransincay MOST OF THE CREW WERE HURLED INTO THE WATER AND BADLY BURNED—BOAT BURNED TO THE WATER'S EDGE. burns dressed on their arrival here. About the only one who escaped without any injury was Captain Batt.
