COLLA If For No Other Reason Than Friendly Gesture to People of North, It is Considered Advisable . lii connection with the campaign to bring the Peace River railway outlet to Prince Rupert, the rity council dtcided unanimously last night to send Aid. Theo Collar! to Ottawa to Interview with regard to the project not only members ol the government but also members of the House generally The decision to send a delegate to Ottawa came on motion of Aid Collart, seconded by Aid. Macdonald. after a rather lengthy discussion as to whether or not it would be advisable to send the delegate In view of the results it might be hoped to obtain. Even In view of the stringent finances of the city it was decided to stretch a point and send the delegate if for so other purpose - than a friendlyi gesture towards the people of the Peare River who have already expressed their favor for this port as Uie outlet and who themselves are sending a delegate.

Collart was selected the delegate on motion of Aid. Brown, seconded by Aid. Pullen. In bringing up the matter. Aid. OoL'art announced that the Peace River committee at Its last meeting had decided to leave the question of sending a delegate to the council. From the Peace River district, C. W. Frederick was being sent to Ot tawa and the people there were an xious to have some one from Prince Rupert accompany him. It was ad visable. Aid. Collart felt, that Prince Rupert should show the .people of the Peace River that It was still behind their fight for an outlet. The committee suggested that the cost of sending the dele- jate to Ottawa should be taken out )t any grant the city might make this year towards the Peace River utlet campaign. Aid. Llnxey inquired how much tad been, appropriated to the Peace River committee this year, Mayor 6rme -reptytog- tba no -appropria tion had yet been made. Aid. Pullen stated that the committee felt strongly that Prince Ru pert should be represented at Ot tawa on the matter of the Peace River outlet. The route was something that the city was greatly concerned with. He understood that both the federal member, Mr. Brady, and the Liberal candidate, Mr. Hanson, who would be unable to go himself, were desirous that Prince Rupert should send a delegate. II the cost could be kept say within $500. AM. Pullen thought a delegate should be sent. Aid. Macdonald thought that a delegate should be sent The whole community was behind the campaign for the Peace River outlet. He believed that Prince Rupert should show the people of the Peaee River that this port was willing, to co-oDerate even if It was Burns Lake last week was the best .necessary to spend money" in so do- trig. In any case, ne wiougm we matter of the Peace River outlet would probably be settled within a year and It was not likely that the sending of Peace River delegate to Ottawa would come up perennially.
