At the present moment an im- mense territory is being opened up in Northern British Columbia, of which Prince Rupert is the me- tropolis. Already in this present stage of development the south- ern portion of the province has profited in a commercial way by hundreds of thousands of dollars from Northern B, C,, while the ex- chequer of the province has pro- filed likewise by hundreds of thousands of dollars. The government of the proy- ince has guaranteed terminal fa- cilities in the southern cities, and also is assisting a joint sewer scheme, There can be no doubt that this assistance is given be- cause it is thought necessary to do so in order to secure a larger and quicker development, as well as to proteet the public health.

Before T left Prince Rupert at all I asked the’ government to join with the Grand Trunk in guaranteeing our bonds. All that I have since learned accentuates not only the desirability but the necessity of this course. Here we are building the terminal of a great transcontinental railroad, compelled by force of cireum- stances, though having a popu- lation of only 6,000, to provide for a large city. Though only four years old we have not only been paying our own way, but have been assisting with large amounts the southern portion of the province. We are thoroughly capable of continuing to pay our own way, but it is not asking too much to, request a guarantee which will enable us to secure the finanees carry out public works during this order that we to properly and trade here rail- necessary urgent formative period in may be in a position take care of the people which are certain to upon the completion road next year. The building of a terminal such as Prince Rupert, is extraordinary and ought to be met fairly on its of the merits and without timidity. Having these things in view and knowing the situation as I do I interviewed Sir Richard Me- Bride, the prime minister of the provinee, as Victoria. { am pleased to say that the prime minister listened carefully to our representations, and not only did he appreciate the emerg- of the situation but freely admitted the specia! claims of Prince Rupert. At his request I submitted our requirements in writing, and he suggested that it would probably be necessary to send some one up ency here to look over the situation. with a view to verifying the urgency of our claims, Since returning to Prince Rupert I have received a telegram from Sir Richard MeBride stating that Hon. W. R. Ress-was leaving soon to jook over the situation. It will take little argument to show Mr. Ross the necessities of the situa- tion. For instance, take the mat- At the present ive eonnection while of we the business ma of the ter time sewers. cannot g¢g mn section, residential sections are entirely without sewer ac- commodation. It will take-a year to instal the proposed trunks and another year to instal laterals under the best of conditions, and by that time our population will all probability have doubled. How important it is therefore that this werk should start immediate- ny m ly is at once patent. Practically all of the work outlined for the year is equally important. Taking into consideration the amount of private and public works under way and contem- plated, and with city work pro- gressing, there is no reason why Prince Rupert should have a dull between now and the of the railroad, be- government assist- ance will save the city many thousands of dollars when we pledge our securities. In conclusion I am free to say thai I believe our trip to London will be provocative of much good. We were able to correct many misrepresentations in quarters of special value to the city, while were fortunate in coming in contaet with a considerable num- ber of people whose influence and good will will be of distinct ad- vantage to the city.
