4 | GRADING OF STREETS IMPRESSES MR. HAYS ‘*From A Railroad Man’s Point of View’’ He Says ‘“‘The Rock Work is Well Done and I Can See The Beginning of The Surveyors After the preliminary conference with the council while Mr. Cham- berlin spent the remainder of the afternoon in consultation with Gen- eral Superintendent Mehan on important matters in relation to the arrangement of offices, yards, and approaches to ithe present Grand Trunk waterfront, Mr. C. M. Hays accompanied his brother Mr. David H. Hays on a tour of the central portions of the town- site. Struck by Progress President Hays was impressed by the amount of progress that has been made in the grading of streets and building up of the city since last fall. City Our Planned ”’ “Really,” he said. “I am sur- prised at the amount of work which you have accomplished here since my last visit. It impresses me very much indeed. I am going to make a more extensive tour of the city, but I have already seen your principal streets, and looking at it merely from the railroad point of view the rock- work and excavation seems to be thoroughly well done. Of course I am speaking thus from a railroad man’s standpoint. To the casual tourist your streets might appear to be badly tom up at present, but I can see now the ‘beginnings of the city which our surveyors planned.” The Insurance People EVERY CLASS OF INSURANCE.

Templeman Accom- panies President of the Road and Party on Special Train. At eight a.m. today a special train left the G. T. P. yards at the waterfront taking C. M. Hays and party out te the end of steel. With the party travelled the Hon. Wm. Templeman. General Superintendent Mehan had everything in spick and span order bright and early, and but for the still merely utilitarian style of “depot’’ the train might have been pulling out from Mon- treal or Winnipeg. With the track ballasted for the first hundred miles, the journey will be smoother tan any yet experienced on this end of the Grand Trunk by the president of the road. MR. GEO. D. HALL ON PARK SITES Landscape Architect Wiio Laid Out Prince Rupert Accom- panied Mr. C. M. Hays. “It is attributable to the generous spirit of the Railway and Government Officials and to the hearty accord between them, and the landscape archi- tects, that Prince Rupert will acquire parks, squares, boule- vards, and the opportuniiest for municipal imporvements, planned for in such a way as to fulfill the design in serving the public interest, and for the future embellishment of the city.” The above statement by Mr. George D. Haii of the firm of Brett & Hall, landscape architects, who laid out the townsite for the G. T. P. is of special interest today. Mr. Hall accompanied Mr. C. M. Hays on the present trip, and expressed himself as much interested in the progress of the work of carving and blasting out of rock and muskeg the streets which he has designed on paper. In laying out the plan of the townsite, with which the citizens are so familiar, Mr. Hall had unique problems and unique op- portunities. His first great aim in laying out the plan of Prince Rupert was to decide on a skeleton system of fundamental roads or arteries of traffic so as to tie the whole development together by ensuring a commodious, as well as direct intercommunication be- tween the various sections of the townsite. With Mr. Hays, Mr. Hall is satisfied with the begin- nings of the work of making our streets. REPRESENTS I. O. O. F. C. V. Bennett is Prince Rupert's Lodge Delegate to Cranbrook C. V.

Quebec, and the Western Provinces were almost solid for it, with Ontario divided as before, he said there was no doubt as to where British Columbia should stand. “A province which im- ports $14,000,000 of agricultural pioducts yearly, ought to look on the removal of the duties as a profitable thing for them."’ Served Constituency Well Ye told very modestly of the things he had accomplished for the constituency—mail services to the Queen Charlotte Islands, wharves at Massett, Stewart and other ‘places, telegraph line to Stewart and Valdez Island, and a marine station at Digby Island. “I take credit,” he said, ‘for the wireless stations on the Pacific Coast, the finest in the world. I happened to be acting Minister of Marine for six months and I had an expert investigate the matter, and ordered the first two stations. Now there are seven. Still at Work “I have some other things on hand too, that I see this district needs. I have arranged for a lighthouse at Rose Spit on Dixon entrance, and by the time you have ocean steamers going out of here, there will be a wireless station there too. I have arranged to have the marine depot divided, and the north part of the coast served from Prince Rupert in- stead of from Victoria. I have arranged for Mr. Williams, the inspector of fisheries to remove his headquarters here from Vic- toria, and I hope also to arrange for the headquarters of the Dom- inion Yukon Telegraph line to be located here. I think it should be. I have also arranged for a subsidy for the Grand Trunk dry dock here. It is waiting for them at Ottawa, as soon as they care to start construction.” Asked Questions In response to the invitation to ask questions, W. H. Mont- gomery inquired why the Liberal government did not support the demand for a two weekly pay for railway employees. He read from the Labor Gazette a state- ment that Sir Wilfrid Laurier had declined to act without con- sulting the railway officials. “That was a necessary thing to do,’ said Mr. Templeman. “As a result, the Premier found that for certain classes of men at the trip every two weeks. in the case of the car builders and shop mechanics it was pos- sible. My friend will be glad to know that the bill, so amended, was passed by the government.” Mr. Montgomery also wanted to know why a telegram he sent to the minister on the day fol- lowing the battle of Kelly's cut, asking for Federal intervention and protection had not been re- plied to. “The work of enforcing the law and giving protection to the citizens is a Provincial matter. If it was a request for protection it should have gone to your Provincial member. I remember receiving the telegram, and as it dealt with a labor dispute, I sent it on to the Minister of Labor for action. If no reply was sent you, I much regret it, for you were entitled to a reply.” Many Met the Member After the meeting was formally adjourned, many stayed behind to talk with the Minister, who went on to Kitselas by an early train today.

COUNCIL AND RAILWAY AGREE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 is that the railway reserve and present whart waterfront are to remain the property of the rail- way company and included in the railway lands upon which a lump sum of $15,000 is to ‘be paid anr.ually in taxes. Above is Mayor Manson's offi- cial statement of the terms of the agreement come to between the city and the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway company on their assessment. When the conference between the city council and the Grand Trunk magnates was ended at half past ten last night it was arranged between President Hays and the council that Mayor Manson should give out to the press the details of the agreement. Mr. Hays himself. making the general statement fresh from the meeting that a satisfactory agree- ment had been reached, and that he was pleased with it. Council Sat Later After Mr. Hays had left the new court room in which the meetings yesterday were held, the Mayor and council sat for another half hour to consider some par- ticular points. At five minutes to eleven however, Mayor Manson called an adjournment, the meeting broke up in can only be described as great glee. There can be no doubt that the Mayor and aldermen looked well pleased with the agreement arrived and what at. “Tickled to Death”’ Interviewed just after the ad- jourament Mayor Manson expres- with an air of restrained sed satisfaction relief.
