Friday, Jan. 7, 1927 INTEREST WAKING IN MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS. Some interest is commencing to be taken in the matter of the municipal election which is now but s?x days' distant. It is pretty certain that Mayor Newton wjll be opposed, even though tp beat him would appear to be a job that would take more than si days or less campaigning. If there are any candidates who wouiu essa.y to oppose him, they would have done well to make an earner start. Undoubtedly many people who would like to end His Worship's "mortgage" on the mayoral chair but they have been frightened that they would be turned down. It has been a case of "the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak" which is not a very desirable state of affairs. With five in the field, there is already enough material in the field to contest the four seats on the aldermanic board. More candidates will likely offer themselves for the voters to choose from as ifar as the seats below the mayor's are concerned. Nothing js yet heard about the school board contest but the three retiring members of the Board will probably submit their papers again on Monday. There may even be a contest for the three seats on the board. Certain campaigners in connection with the police plebiscite have been active recently and their voice will likely be more distinctly heard within a day or sq. In this connection, it looks as though the champions of the city police system are waiting for the other side to say something. Judging from the. opinions that are expressed around town, the chances do not look very good for the nassinir of the , $35,000 Sometimes Canadian papers are criticized for featuring news and views more than t.hey dp the affairs' of the. Mother country ana the empire. The criticism to a large extent may be justified but to rectify it is a task that Is, so far, removed from the hands of the publishers of Canadian newspapers. In most papers the big as well as the small there is a gqod deal of space to be -filled by correspondence material that is usually furnished by news bureau services. Often press agent material, if it does not conflict with advertising, proves acceptable. The Daily News as well as all other Canadian papers uses such services and it is generally difficult to select British material of such a nature which would appeal to the reading public. United States hds developed highly efficient news organizations such as the Associated Press, United Press and International News Service. Until Great Britain develops similar organizations that will produce Old Country and Empire. News suitable for Canadian consumption there will continue to be the American tinge to Canadian newspapers. HRKiHT PROSPECTS FOR JUUTIS1 COLUMBIA. Twenty years ago British Columbia was one, of. the least important of all the provinces of Canada, considered from the point f view of the producer or the manufacturer. Today British Columbia is th,e third of the manufacturing provinces of the Dominion uno. its products are more various than the products of any of the provinces of the Dominion. In the course of another twenty years, if the manifold products of British Columbia are projected and apt plied to the best possible advantage, there are abundant reasons for believing that British Columbia will lead all the provinces of Canada in the volume and value of its products. We have a superhundancc of raw material, a.nd the conditions for manufacturing and export are. more favorable than the conditions in any of the other provinces pf Canada. Our harbors and waterways are open all the year round, and we ha.ve direct and cheap accesa to all th markets of the world. Our shipping business has grown tremendously within the .last three or four years. The harbors of our principal ports are .now crowded with ships and our yards for the construction and repairing of ships are doing a flourishing business. The prospects i of- British Columbia from a business point of iew are therefore brighter than they ever were at any period in our history. i I ALDERMAN JOS. GREER SPEAKER IlEAl.T WITH MiVKIl.U, ANPKfTS OK 'i civic riNAM'Ks in addkkss HKt'OKK IHIT.VUV Cl.t'll Alderman Jos, Greer addressed th Rotary Club at Its luncheon yesterday and dealt with the financial position of the city as well as some of the problems which would race the new council In 1927. Starting with the Incorporation of the city In 1910 when It was necessary to make borrowings for street work and other city needs, he described the manner of financing by selling bonds and then creating a sinking fund Q meet these bonds when due. In 1916 the city adopted the serial bond system by which a certain amount of the principal and the Interest was retired each year. This system, which was still In effect would result In the retirement of the major portion of the city's Indebtedness created at that time by 1940. From now until 1946 however. It would be necessary to provide $196,000 each year to take care of debts already contracted. The present bonded Indebted . of the city amounted to $2,200,000, which was $300 for each man, woman and child In the city. The bonded Indebtedness was divided up as follows Local Improvements, $900,000; General Account $311,000: Water department $436,000; Light Department $234,000; Telephone Department $51,000; Schools $223,000. Although the total assessment for the past year amounted to $15,668,000. Improvements, government property, hospitals, churches and other exemptions left the taxable property at $6,481,929. This Included the railway property assessed at $2,500,000 on which the company paid $45,500 per year as per agreement with the ttly. Theh was left a net taxable property valued at $4,250,000. Alderman Greer then took the past year as an example of how the revenue was raised ta meet this requirement as well as provide for the carrying on jf the various services of the city. In the mtllage rate which was arrived at last year 21 mills were required to pay off Interest and a portion of the principal, 12 mills were necessary for school purposes and 11 mills were necessary for general administration. Speaking of the borrowing power of the city. Alderman Oreer said that It was Impossible to borrow- more than 20 per cent of the assessed valuation. The speaker said .tit the concensus of opinion was' that the debt of the city was high and when the city debt got sewer bylaw. This would provide at least for the starting of a muchlover the t' minion mark it was get-needed improvement but there is a rather strong view that the $35- tlng ne,r dn8 Plnt- However 00Q for the work would by no means see the job completed. t,tJ'! ssew w in good shape. . uu uuv utrneve u naTiwDjf to say that the city Is hard up and connot pay" remarked the Alderman. "It la only necessary for any one whom the city owes to present his account and receive payment." said the speaker, rotvcit ritoiu.KM Turning to some of the problems which faced the city in the comln; year the speaker referred to the city's hydro-electric plant which was not able to supply J1 the power for which the city had contracted. It had been found necessary to make an agreement with the dry dock, which plant the city was now operating to take care of the peak load. This year's council would have to decide whether they thought It advisable to spend a quarter 'of a mil-tVn c. liars at th Shk-vtt;ns plant to l:itiev the ainr.u it of puw.r av- ible from that area. Sooner tor later hqw-ever the city would have to consider other power sources If It continued t" own its own plant or would have ta consider making arrangements with a company which would meet the clty'i requirements. Another problem which would face the city council in 1927, Aid. Oreer said, would be a new agreement with the 'C.N.R. as to assessment and taxation The agreement entered Into In 1922 would expire next month. Also there was (he matter of sewerage for the c(ty. Taking all these matters Into ronsideratlon It certainly showed that there wpulj be plenty of work for the council this year. Alderman Oreer'a address was listened to with much Interest by the club and, at the conclusion, President Orrne thanked, the spesker for the very con cise way In which he had brought matters of Interest to its attention.
