INTERIOR
INTERESTED
We
are
glad
to
see
that
interior
points
are
taking
an
in-erest
in
the
move
to
secure
lower
rates
on
cars
being
shipped
between

and

Cedarvale
is
coming
into

picture
with

hat
the
highway
is
open
to
that
settlement
after
the
beginning
of
May,
and
Cedarvale
is
40
miles
this
side
of
Hazelton.
This
is
the
time
to
get
busy
if
anything
is
to
be
done
this
year.
It
takes
time
to
get
a
new
rate
approved
by
the
Railway
Commission
so
action
should
be
taken
at
once.
Where
there
is

purpose.
BACK
TO
THE
LAND
One
encouraging
feature
of
the
present
financial
difficulties
is
the
movement
back
to
the
land
in
British
Columbia
as
shoAvn
in
the
report
made
by
Hon.
Nels
Loug-heed
last
week
in
the
Legislature.
Hitherto
British
Columbia
has
imported
vast
quantities
of
produce
but
if
the
present
movement
continues
it
looks
as
if
the
province
would
soon
be
growing
her
own.

IMPROVEMENT
TAX
:
Editor.
Dally
News:
Rupert's
Ghost
has
once
again
emerged
from
Its
closet
and
prattling
Its
bones
and
stalking
in
our
,
midst.
For
Dame
Ruuor
has
it
that
,
the
levying
of
an
improvement
tax
is
again
being
considered
by
our
city
fathers.
It
is
to
be
hoped
that
such
a
retrograde
step
will
not
come
to
pass,
as
we
are
already
severely
over-taxed
with
our
land
assessments
double
and
three
times
their
value.,
Taxes
in
our
city
have
been
on
the
increase
for
several
years,
until
they
have
now
become
quite
a
burden,
and
the
Imposition
of
further
taxes
will
create
Intolerable
hardship.
True,
the
city
must
balance
Its
budget,
but
not
by
passing
the
buck
resorting
to
excessive
taxation,
but
rather
by
exercising
Judicious
spending
of
Its
revenues.
Is
this
being
thoroughly
done?
We
are
informed
the
city
hall
has
been
pretty
well
gone
over.
Has
the
same
been
done
about
the
fire
department,
the
schools,
the
police
department
and
other
employees?
There
is
little
work
for
the
fire
de
partment.
Fires
seldom
occur
here.
There
might
be
a
possibility
of
merging
this
with
another
depart
ment.
Amalgamation
of
all
city
departments
should
be
given
serious
consideration.
The
city
has
a
lot
of
men
in
that
locality,
and
with
a
couple
on
night
shift,
some
economy
could
probably
be
effected.
What
have
the
school
trustees
done
in
this
respect?
Our
schools
absorb
most
of
the
taxes,
it
was
reported
In
the
papers
that
the
teachers
took
a
10
salary
cut,
but
now
It
Is
stated
that
such
Is
not
the
case,
as
the
proposal
had
a
string
to
it,
de
manding
a
guarantee
that
there
would
be
no
further
cut
for
18
months,
which
the
trustees
will
not
give.
Don't
blame
them,
this
would
be
a
happy
burg
if
we
all
could
have
wages
guaranteed,
so
far
into
the
future.
The
fisherman
who
pays
most
of
the
taxes,
would
be
glad
to
have
even
his
rent
and
grocery
bill
secure.
There
are
very
few
drunks
these
days,
people
have
no
money
to
spend
on
liquor)
therefore
the
police
force
should
be
reduced.
Our
r-ity
cannot
pay
any
wages
except
for
services
It
has
use
for.
Before
the
imposition
of
an
Improvement
tax
Is
decided
upon,
all
channels
through
which
the
city's
money
is
spent
should
be
thoroughly
combed
and
then
combed
again,
an
improvement
tax
should
be
absolutely
the
last
resort.
Do
the
citizens
realize
what
thk
means?
Supposing
you
own.
a
lot
value
$300,
and
have
a
home
on
value
$4,000.
The
levying
of
a
15
improvement
tax,
which
is
about
.he
lowest
percentage
that
could
be
considered,
mean
that
your
taxes
will
be
Increased

you
have
been
paying
$15
ixct
In
the
past,
you
would
pay
)15
with
an
improvement
tax
of
'5.
Such
a
tax
would
have
to
be
mainly
borne
by
the
householders,

comes
up,
such

get
their
clever
lawyers
out
here,
and
some
arrangement
Is
always
made
with
the
city,
that
leaves
the

holding

Such
