He
aald
It

25
years
since

Each
of
the
communities
concerned
could
congratulate
themselves
on
the
establishment
of
good
communication
which
would
be
useful
commercially
and
socially.
Alderman
Bennett,
acting
mayor
of
Vancouver,
then
spoke
to

mat
he
was
repre
senting

He
8pokefUwuor4?thCc4heprid&cupied
fcryu-
it
as
another

in

by
one
of

pioneer
utilities.
It
was
a
distinct
advance
on
anything
that
had
gone
before.
He
hoped

their
anticipations
would
be
justified
in
the
years
to
come.

extended
good

to
the
city
council
of
Vancouver
and
expressed
the
hope
that

Illness.
He
spoke
of
the
splendid
work
done
In
this
connection
by
the
B.
C.
Telephone
Company
and
prophesied
that
the
radiotelephone
would
become
a
great
factor
in
the
social
and
commercial
life
of
the
north
country.
President

of

local
chamber
of

briefly
with

the
Victoria
Chamber.
Mr.
Pillsbury
expressed
felicitations
and
said
the
businessmen
of
Prince
Rupert
were
very
pleased
at
the
new
communication
and
hoped
it
would
be
profitable
to
the
company
operating
It.
Mr.
Mayhew
reciprocated
the
good
wishes
and
mentioned
the
necessity
of
all
keeping
abreast
of
the
times.
Harold
Brown,
vice-president
of
the
Vancouver
Board

He
wished

He
hoped

to
get
together,

II.
c.
Nicholas,
managing
director
of
the
Victoria

then
conversed
briefly
with
Aid.
H.
F.
Pullen.
He
suggested
that
the
radiophone
might
be
used
with
advantage
by
the
people
of
the
press
and
would
tend
to
unite
all
sections
of
the
province
through
the
press
more
closely
Aid.
Pullen,
In
reply,
said
this
was
an
Important
step
In
Prince
Rupert's
development.
The
next
forward
move
would
be
the
completion
of
the
highway
so
that
