Last night there were' little more than one hundred present at S. M. Newton's meeting and not as many at a previous meeting held by Alderman Prudhomme. This does not look very well for the solution of the civic problems at a time of real crisis such as that which now faces the city. Next week three meetings are to be hold and it is suggested that those who have a vote should try to attend as many of them as possible.

This is just the opposite to the most re-jh4 protested at that. . r. . J, . Mr. Newton claimed that the city im i ji u 1.1. cent campaign, in the south which is to try. to divide the ;counel, of i929 had nad t0 eo Q country between the railways, naving one turn eoutn to iand borrow money at the time when Vancouver ami- the other take the more northerly route to Stewart. When the builders of the Canadian National Railways decided to bring the railway through to the coast they thoroughly examined all the harbors on the coast and none was found suitable except that which is now known as Prince Rupert Harbor. It is the only harbor that is i J"5 such deficits a that on practically perfect without spending money on it. The grade of the railway to Prince Rupert is the best probably in the world,'as against the P. G. E. grade which engineers say is impossible for heavy freight haulage. One great advantage in interesting both railways in coming tolPrince Rupert would be the likelihood that the work woujft be done at a much earlier date than otherwise would'be the case. Opposition in Parliament would be reduced to a minimum and there would be no division of forces in the matter of construction. Prince Rupert has in the past relied wholly on the Canadian National Railway. But there has come a change. Today we are also looking to the Canadian Pacific Railway to help give us those services which we have lacked for so long. With both lines interested here We can indeed hope to become an important port, doing business with the whole world. NEW PUBLICATION We are glad to welcome to our desk a bright little new weekly publication from the British Columbia capital. It is "The Spokesman," edited and managed by C. Fl Davie, with William H. Bunting as associate editor. While it does not seem to deal with any large subject in a large wauLwjli doubtless be a useful publication. ,yjqtqm has seen the rise and fall of Jnanv weeklies. the bulk of the taxes should have been coming in. Never before in the city's history had it been necessary to do that. In addition to thai, $100,000 from the sale of the hydroelectric system had been used up to purchase city securities and tide sewer construction The ex-mayor thought it was very unwise, as Aid. Prudhomme had done, to talk of the possibility of the city going into the hands of a receiver. If the city were wisely governed, he thought there was no danger of that coming about. Mr. Newton stated, that it was clear to him that Aid. Onne had resigned after "one year of poor service,". so that he might be elected mayor and re-appoint Aid. Brown as chairman of the Board of Works. Then between them they would continue bungling for another year. He thought that Aid. Orme would have been well advised to hold his seat on the council until he had gained some experience. "Chief Pinhead" Mr. Newton ridiculed the professions of Aid. Prudhomme, whom he described as "chief pinhead of the 1920 council," as to wonderful work he had done. He thought the people would use their common sense about that. He did not think Aid. Prudhomme was entitled to all the credit for the turning down of the money rowing bile JJUVOliJS Ui bllUOV lUUUCJ' oyiaws now. He thought it would be wise to wait and see the complexion of next years council. "Sup -pose," he suggested, -that some influence gets control of the City Hall next Thursday. Then, by passing the bylaws, you would be giving them that much more money to blow in." The people had been told that the former city engineer was solely to blame for last year's trouble. He thought, however, that some blame attached itself to. the whole council, including Aid. Pndhomme.

SwilMd. sponsiblllty therefor by the excuse that he had been on the QueeN Charlotte Islands. He likened Aid. Prudhomme to a grasshopper. "One never knows where he is going to land." If Aid. Prudhomme had been "fired" from the 1928 Board of Works and Aid. Orme and Aid. Brown from that of 1929 the bungling would probably have proven much lees. But there was no use, Mr. Newton pointed out, in tearing down the work of others unless some concrete solution could be offered for repair. He believed that Aid. Prudhomme was too prone to tear down and was not ableenoueh in the matter of applying a remedy. It was up to the people now to elect men who would be best fitted to mend the damage that had been done. He and Ex-Aid. Perry were applying for the Job. They had given the city sane administration in the past and he was sure they would be able to do It again. . If they were elected, Ex-Aid. Perry would be his right hand man in righting the situation. If they were given the repair Job, he believed they would be able to reconstruct the damage without boards of arbitration. He would also have liked to have had the valuable services of Ex-Aid. W. J. Oreer but It would be necary for him to be out of the city for the greater part of the coming year and, therefore, he had found it Impossible to be a candl- Uunh l.inninibim writs t.

He urged that the people forget -any hates they might have against himself or Ex-Aid. Perry and vote for an administration that had proven it could give the best service. He particularly asked that B-Ald. IJerry be given support at the forthcoming election. Aid. Prudhomme carry on work as the city had done and remiiln in the business for a month. The only apology he had to offer was that hr had not kicked twice as hard as he had done. There had been examples of waste in many places. It was untrue that he had endeavored to persecute a single city cfficial. If the administration of the public works department had been bad in 1928. it was twelve defeat of the money bylaws last year had resulted in the city obtaining as its engineer a man who he believed was very capable and-who, with the right kind of a council, would carry on the work of the city very successfully. After the defeat of .those bylaws, he woujd have re- ed to some million dollars a year and it was desirable . that a board tf directors was eiected that would Rive a businesslike administration. Aid. Prudhomme saw a great future, ln store for Prince Rupert. It seemed almost certain that the Peace River outlet would come here. Hydro-electric development also promised much ln the way of establishment of industries. Perhaps the 1930 council would be the most Important that had ever been elected. If the electors approved of the work he had done, he requested that they vote for him. 17 amBuk fl is Uniquiflia f for ECZEMA ULC6PS CMBUMCOID $0filS CUTSBUMS'SCALOS MNCWORH-PILES BscnsispwMD mm crisis in civic afaflfl.

He suggested that the electors make the candidates come out flat footed and say how they were going to give the city a business administration. Aid. Prudhomme stated that he would have more to say about civic finances at his meeting next week. He hoped ithahey wpiid thep be able to-.'saj jusfwhat the deficit of the last year had amounted to. i Aldrrmahle Aspirants H. P. Pullen, the first of the alder- manic candidates to be called upon, might, however, compensate for this. In the matter of the Peace River outlet, Aid. Casey suggested .that the P.O.E. line might be completed to the C. N. R. line and the C. N. R. build a line to the Peace. This would give both Vancouver and Prince Rupert a fair show. Referring briefly to the police question, Mr. Casy said he had carefully analyzed the comparative figures presented by the city treasurer and had found that, taking into account deductions that had been made from liquor protlts to cover special policing under the old system and the share of fines that the government had received under the provincial police system, the said that he was offering himself j provincial police in .three vpant hnd for the aldermanic board at this , actually cost $1500 more than the time because there seemed to be a.:cjty police.
