Reasonable
Rate
For
Carrying

and
From
Hazelton
is
Asked
by
Chamber
of
Commerce
The
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
at
its
meeting
last
night
endorsed
a
resolution
forwarded
from
the
Smithers
Board
of
Trade
asking
for
abolition
of
the
present
prohibitive
rate
for
carrying
automobiles
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Hazelton
and
the
institution
of
such
a
rate
as
will
appeal
to

enable
them
to
transport
their
cars
on
the
regular
trains
each
way
during
the
summer
I
nnT.,
nv-v-r
months.
The
resolution
follows:
Whereas,
the
construction
of
that
portion
of
the
main
highway
connecting
Prince
Rupert
with
the
interior
of
the
province
is
not
making
very
rapid
progress
and
will,
at
Its
best,
take
years
to
complete,
and.
Whereas
the
trunk
roads
from
Hazelton
to
the
east
and
southern
parts
of
the
province
offer
excellent
opportunities
for
auto
tourist
travel
and
connect
with
the
main
highways
throughout
all
parts
of
the
continent;
and.
Whereas,
the
tourist
traffic
is
proving
to

one
of
British
Columbia's
greatest
sources
of
revenue;
and
Whereaerhe-many
hundreds

The
only
car
owners
of
the
city
of
Prince

are
anxious
to
take
advantage
of
this
mode
of
travel,
and
hun
dreds
of
i
car
owners
who
reside
in
the
city
of
Ketchikan,
Alaska,
and
other
northern
coast
towns,
complain
that,
while
they
are
willing
to
transfer
their

via

they
are
still
denied

of
