French “meeting

Last evening French speaking
electors met in the Catholic hall
and discussed municipal affairs.

Thése who spoke were M. de
Mussey, M. Lannic, T. Collart,
Ald. Maitland, A. J. Prudhomme,

M. Sequin, O. Besner, A. Couture
and VY. Basso-Bert. Some of the
speakers spoke on each side of
the mayoralty question and sev-
eral were not-committal,

F, M. Lannic said the agree-
ment was giving away a fran-
chise which would be worth 10
or 15 millions in a few years.
If we sold it at. that. price we
would not have to pay any more
taxes.

T. Collart replied that the the-
ory was absurd. If the fran-
chise was worth millions to a

company it would be worth more
to the city. He'also criticised
Newton severely for publishing
statements about the city water
being polluted. He was a knock-
er of the city.
There were
present.

Morrissey Election Dope

Candidate Morrissey

used nu-

merous doctored and distorted

figures last evening in an en-

deavor to show that he is some
financier.

He stated that if the power

agreement is passed the city

would pay for a Diesel oil plant
$36,000 a year of a primary
charge alone and $720,000 in 20
years out of the people’s taxes.
The city light superintendent
estimates the primary charge
for the first year at $6,000, and
that the lighting of the City Hall,
the business houses, all the resi-
dences and the power for local
industries would cost less than
$25,000 the first year.

Morrissey also said that Mayor
Pattullo elaimed there was a de-
ficit last year of $50,000, and as
he used the figures for compari-
son the glaring exaggeration was
all the more noticeable.

Mayor Pattullo has repeatedly
placed the deficit at $30,000.
This is the kind Of stuff Mor-
rissey is putting over to you in
an attempt to get elected.

mont will advocate sane spending

Prince Rupert has never been
ashamed of Pattullo.

So long as Pattullo is mayor
of Prince Rupert there will be no

party polities in civie affairs.
oo a a
By accepting the agreement

with the power company Prince
Rupert ties up the competifion of
that company. It gives the city
control of the rates.

Unless the water, light and
telephone extension bylaws are
carried the outlying sections will
have to go without these public
utilities for a long time.

The whole campaign of Mayor
Pattullo’s opposition is one of
petty cricitcism, flase  state-

ments, false figures and the cry
of rascals, swindlers, etc.

If you have any suspicion that
Wm. Manson will not have that
bylaw ratified in the legislature
this session if it is accepted by
the electors, just vote for it and
see.

Without. power no industry
can come to this city, and under
city operation no power can be
supplied to industries that want
to come here in less than two
years.

when they come here and must
be able to provide industries with
electrical energy.

Some people seem to think that
municipalities can operate by a
miracle, and these same people
give the advice to let the future
take care of itself. No business
man can proceed along this line,
neither can a municipality.

A good start during the next
two years will be worth more to
this city than any subsequent
five. Under the hydro-electric
agreement the city can immedi-
ately advertise that it can supply
power ai fixed and reasonable
rates.

It would take one year longer
to get Woodworth Lake power
than to buy it from the company.
If the electors accept that agree-
ment they will have saved by
lower rates in'that year $30,000,
or enough to light the city one
year for nothing.

None of Mayor Pattullo’s op-
ponents have had the courage to
face him on the platform with
petty criticisms and their mis-
representations. Mayor Pattullo
fights clean. He has given every
one a square deal in office and
he is absolutely fair in his cam-
paign.
