The
Prince
Rupert
Radio
Association,
at
Its
annual
meeting
in
the
City
Hall
last
night,
decided
to
cir
culate
a
petition
among
radio
own
ers
of
the
city
for
ultimate
submission
to
the
proper
federal

authorities
requesting
that

gradually

with
a
view
to
having
the
situation
cleared
up.
The
text
of
the
petition
expresses
the
opinion
that
radio
owners
of
Prince

are
entitled
to
be
given
such
an
investigation
in
view
of
the

which
are

-
The
meeting
discussed
other
phases
of
radio
interference
In
Prince
Rupert
but
all
boiled
down
to
the
one
essential
fact
that
a
very
large
part
of
interference
in
the
city
is
attributable
to
the
6fl.000-volt
high
power
line
of
the
Northern
British
Columbia
Power
Co.
The
fight
will
be
kept
up
with
a
view
to
having
the
necessary
changes
to
I
the
line
brought
about.
The
asso-I
nation
has
been
advised
by
experts
that
much
can
be
done
along
this
line
it
tne
company
can
De
persua
ded
to
do
so.
It
was
also
admitted
that
considerable
cost
might
be
involved.
The
problem
of
bringing
about
a
rectification
of
conditions
has
not
been
facilitated
by
the
official
statement
that
the
power
company
was
authorised
both
by
the
city
and
the
Inspector
of
electrical
energy
of
the
province
to
In-stal
the
high
power
line.
The
association
elected
officers
for
the

as
follows:
