"The gross Injustice of this part of the new rules lies in the fact that there was no reason whatever why. when the old regulaUons were being revised, the Summer Zone on this Coast should not have! beert extended to latitude 58 de-j grces Instead of 50 degrees, to in- j elude not only Prince Rupert but1 also Stewart, Anyox and Ketchi kan.
