SPLIT COMMISSION

of this issue, the written judg-
handed
judges cf the Supreme Court in
fhe suit of Cole vs. Read, for
recovery of $20,000, being half

of the coniniission received by

ment down by the

Bowser’s friend Read for put-
ting through the Kitsilano Re-
said $40,000 being
haif of the total of $80,000
paid in commission on the al-
leged purchase.

It has only been through
proceedings taken in the courts
that the people of British Co-
lumbia have become aware of
the huge sums which Bowser
and his friends have squand-
ered in the past few years. The
Kitsilano reserve deal is only
ONeg of many such. Had there
been a lawsuit over the division
of the spoils in the Songhees
