Beir an coc en peter rere n a 2 aM ene po reammannncy $F Ns NO REAL ALTERNATIVE TO PLAN OF THE MAYOR (Continued from page 1) An altempt had beenemade, said the mayor, to prejudice the public mind'‘against his situation at the present time. It had been inti- mated that he possessed financial connections which would give him the money at fny time. As a matter of fact, he had never promised anything of the sort. He had never promised anybody anything since he took office, save that he would do his duty as mayor. Some had’ said, “what the use of his trip to Europe? He doesn’t know the financial situa- tion there.’ But that was all the more reason for going, that he might become more thoroughly acquainted with the situation and not go groping in the dark. As a matter of fact, he had con- siderable knowledge of the situa- tion before going and had talked it over with prominent financiers in Montreal. He had been ad- vised by, the Canadian manager of the Bank of Montreal to make the trip to London. One result of the trip was that the city was now likely to obtain the guaran- tee of the Proyvineial government. is City of Dissension. As soon as he returned the fact was heralded abroad, not only that he had not found it possible to dispose of any of the deben- tures, but that the city was still a city of dissension. Since some of his opponents were so good at criticizing, he would ask why last year’s admin- istfation didn’t sell the city de- bentures which were authorized to be sold? Yet last year there had been no general financial de- pression and it should have been a comparatively easy matter to dispose of the debentures. This year the underwriting houses’ could not handle the Prince Rupert debentures. These were too large for a city of this size, yet too small for the under- writers to make any profit from handling them. In the ease of bigger cities no such consider- able explanation of their position was needed as was the case with Prince Rupert. If all the agencies in London were unable at the time to place the debentures, if the members of last year’s administration had been unable to sel! the debentures under much more favorable con- ditions, what was the solution for the problem? He would ask those who were not satisfied with what he had been able to do to offer their own soluti6n. He desired and hoped that the feeling of the citizens would be such that when Hon. Mr. Ross ar- rived they would say to him: “We want this work to proceed,” and would all join in showing it absolute urgency. Then the city could count on getting what it needed. Sir Richard McBride was now in London. His trip there would help him to realize the difleulty of the general financial situation. The premier appreciated already the position of Prince Rupert. In conclusion, Mayor Pattullo said: “Tt is not fair to stand on the street corners and gossip. When you have doubts, why do you not come to the city hal) and talk them over with your mayor. He is there ready to discuss these things with you. Remember that after all he is your mayor.” Ex-Alderman Montgomery. Ex-Alderman Montgomery was the next speaker. He said that as the mayor had asked why last year’s council didn’t sell long time debentures and securities he would give the reason. The eity had not owned anything of the sort. The debentures were owned by the Bank of Montreal, owing to the action of the council of 1910. The mayor replied to this by saying that not all were pledged in 1910. The city should have been able to sell the seeurities last year, in the state in which the market then was, and pay off the bank. Ex-Alderman Montgomery said the Bank of Montreal had refused to sell when a customer was put forward, An offer of 85 had been turned down, He then proceeded to attack the present administration and _ to indulge in personal attacks upon the mayor. The audience showed that it would not stand for tuis, however, and after loud cries of “Sit down! Sit down!" the ex- alderman changed his topic. The burden of the rest of his remarks was “go slow this year and next if necessary. [Tt will be time enough to do something when the G, T. P. has been completed,” Alderman Naden. Alderman Naden now rose to his feet. He referred to a remark of Mr. Montgomery's that it is impossible to borrow money in large quantities until a city has a large population. In this, he said, he agreed with the previous speaker, Until a city had the Leon eh nan wang eee THE DAILY NEWS population it was impogsible, to get the money at a reasonable rate. The financiers would first ask for the assessment and then for the population. When they heard that the one was $25,000,- 000 and the other 5,000 they would think the corporation in- sane, not understanding the pe- culiar situation of Prince Rupert. Although the situation in the London market was hopeless, the mayor had done a good thing in going. It had enabled him to get the assistance of the Provin- cial government, One reason why the government should come to the assistance of Prince Rupert was that it had al- ready come to the assistance of the cities on Burrard Inlet, and Prince Rupert deserved govern- ment aid even more than these. In a Vancouver paper which Ald. Naden had lately read, it was stated that nearly one third of the revenue derived from lands by the provincial government was from the sale of its holdings in Prince Rupert. Surely then the government could afford to guarantee the bonds. In another two years, many big buildings would be going up, and the sew- er connections would be urgently needed, This was work that should be started on at once. Wm. Manson, M™.P.P. The member of the local legis- lature, William Manson, was next called for and invited by the ma- yor to take the platform. He said he would like to do everything he could to co-operate with the mayor and council to come to a satisfactory arrangement with the provincial government. He could not, however, yet conceive that the government had yet ag- reed to guarantee the bonds of Prince Rupert. He thought that the city was in situation from which it would have to get out by its own ef- forts. He didn’t think it possible forthe government of the prov- ince to guarantee the bonds of any single city. He was not sure what Sir Richard had in mind concerning the city of Prince Ru- pert. He felt safe in saying that Sir Richard McBride would «vot guarantee the bonds of Prince Rupert without making a new departure, that was, to guarantee the bonds of every city in the province. Many cities were coming into existence under the same quarter interest arrangement Pri ice Rupert. He instanced Smithers and Fort George. Furthermore the amounts expended by the provincial government on works here would closely approximate, he thought, the amounts received from sales. If the government were to guarantee city bonds, it would also mean in the end that it would be impossible to sell any bonds without the backing of the province—an almost impossible situation. So far as the situation in Prince Rupert was concerned, he believed that the trip of the ma- yor had resulted in good thing. It had shown, in the mem- ber’s opinion, that the city should go slowly, and that the citizens shouldn't hammer at the council for improvements. The Premier’s Attitude Mayor Pattullo now comment- ed on some of the remarks of the last speaker. He said that Sir Richard McBride had admitted the special claims of Prinee Ru- pert and was treating it on a special basis, as he _ had dealt with Vancouver in the matter of its sewage scheme. The Premier was to aid the city only in ob- taining absolute necessities. If he were not intending to do that, why was he sending Hon. W. R. Ross? It eouldnot be to enquire into the financial situation, con- cerning which inquiry could be better made elsewhere. It could only be to size up the amount needed by the city. He felt sure that in another couple of years the government would be guar- anteeing all municipal bonds, but would not go into’a lengthy dis- cussion of that question for the present, Arthur Cuthbert was the next speaker. He suggested that each of the financiers of Prince Rup- ert should approach his friends for small sums of from $5,000 up, for debentures, a scheme which was not taken’ very ser- iously by the audience. Ss. M. Newton Ex-Mayor Newton spoke at some length, but his speech con- sisted mainly of vituperation of the present mayor. He made a suggestion that the city should call a halt in municipal proceed- ings until it could elect a mayor and council that it had confid- ence in, As, strutting up and down the platform, he made sim- ilar hints that the citizens had better put a fine fellow like him- self in office again, he was greeted with loud laughter. His attempts at self-advertisement failed. as conspicuously as some of his attempts at rhetorical similes, for instance his declar- a as one a ation that the mayor's trip “had fallen as flat as in inflated bal- loon. He succeeded, indeed, in amusing the audience, but it was more at the expense of himself than of the present mayor. The Only Solution Mayor Pattullo in conelusion asked what solution for the fin- ancial problem had been put for- ward, other than his own? The only alternative suggested so far was to go slow until the end of the year and then put the present couneil out of power. For his part he was taking Sir Richard McBride at his word as a gentle- man. He put Prince Rupert far ahead of party, and would be will- ing in the future to say frankly to Sir Richard “You have helped out Prince Rupert in its hour of need.” After King,” singing “God Save the the audience dispersed.
