Saturday, March 2, 1929 KpW FOR A QILWGE Prince Rupert has sold .the powers franchise and is promised the expenditure of 3 million, ddllars in improvements. N.ow, it is lipped, Prince Rupert may make progress. We must not expect tWmnienium, for that will never arrive, but we do expect that we shall get some benefit in a business way from the change. In connection with the sale, a good deal of credit is due to Mayor McMordie for the part he has played in this connection.

Govr3ti THE DAILY NEWS Saturday, March 2, 1929 RESIGNATIONS INEVITABLE (Winnipeg Free Press) The retirement of Mr. Clubb and Mr. Major from the Manitoba government was, of course, inevitable from the moment announcement? was made of their purchases of Winnipeg Electric stock while the arrangements between the company and the provincial .government werepending: nor is it possible that anyone could have really believed for a moment that their retention was being considered by the premier. me announcement made yesterday merely registers a decision, which was made for the ;governmen.t by the facts themselves. i J . ' . . . : This is a community of fine political.temper and of good sense; and while this decision will be universally accepted as right and proper, there will be little disposition on the part "of the public to give the circumstances the sinister significance which ill-will might readily Suggest, with some show of reason. Mr. Clubb and Mr. Major are widely known in this city and province ; and no one who knows them will believe that either of them was less the guardian of the public interest by reason of these transactions. Nevertheless, though this be accepted without question, it is incontestable that they, by inadvertence or otherwise, broke certain inflexible rules which govern the relations of public men in office to their colleagues and the public : and they have had to pay the forfeits.
