Local

Makes
Observations
from
Friday's
Meeting
Kditor,
Daily
New;
Are
We
Fools
?
The
writer
attended
I'riday
night'
meeting
in
tlu
City
Hall
at
which
a
resolution
was
pas
ed
lo
close
the
port
of
Prince
liupert
and
Vancouver
to
Aincri
can
fishing
vessels.
without
exception
all
the
speaker
volunteered
the
opinion
that
the
city
would
be
hurl.
First
Some
of
the
Canadian
vessel
Owner
adtiiilled
the
pro-babilily
of
their
receiving
a
re
duced
price
for
their
fish.
Second
The
representative
of
the
ship
supply
house
staled
that
they
would
lose
more
than
any
other
merchant
in
town,
hut
llicy
supported
the
resolution.
Why
this
unselfishness
Third
Some
Canadian
fishermen
felt
that
it
might
hurl
them
but
they
were
prepared
to
take
a
chance.
This
is
gambling.
Fourth
It
was
staled
that
Hie
railway
company
might
be
compelled
to
reduced
their
train
service
from
a
daily
train
to
three
day
a
week.
How
pleasant
this
would
be
for
Prince
Rupert!
Fifth
It
was
the
concensus
of
opinion
1
tint
the
local
cold
storage
plant
which
ha
been
the
support
of
Ihi
town
through
all
of
il
vicissitude
would
he
hurt
more
I
ban
any.
Apparently
no
regard
was
shown
for
the
employees
of
the
cold
storage
concern,
whom
I
understand
number
about
two
hundred
in
the
summer
moulds.
Sixth
It
was
admitted
that
in
all
probability
the
Georgetown
aw
mill
which
supplies
the
fish
boxes
to
the
fish
buyer,
would
be
seriously
inconvenienced.
