Dated March 8 1911 WILLIAM MUNFORD DANGER 0 Rather expecting that jobs are being handed cut to particular people on city work without the formality of bringing the appoint- ments tip for approval of Mayor and council, Alderman Douglas last night enquired how it had happened that certain tirne- keeper had been’ appointed on the public works department without even the mention of the matter in committee. He suggested that Alderman Hilditch had made the appointment himself on the strict q. t. Alderman Hilditch, however, de- clared most emphatically that he did not know the first thing about it, and Alderman Kerr stiggested that perhaps the man was ap- pointed by the superintendent of public works. ‘‘No, said Alder- man Douglas, ‘‘I have reason to believe that the committee ap- pointed him. And we have enough men already appointed employed, and paid who have nothing to do.” Hilditch Attacks Mayor This brought Alderman Hilditch a *!man Hilditch gaily. to his feet annoyed. He was not ALDERMEN WHO WILL TALK WILDLY Discussion Held Over Mysterious Appointment to the Public Works Department—Ald.

He was annoyed at the Mayor. “Mr. Mayor,” he complained, “T want to tell you that there are some members of this council board who talk wildly. They open their mouths and taik wildly, that is all I can say about it, and you simply sit there and overlook the fact. You sit there and don't call these members to order. I must ask you to attend to this.” Kirkpatrick as Buffer There was no reply from the Mayor, but Alderman Kirkpatrick suddenly remembered yaguely hav- ing given some instruction or ap- proval to the superintendent of works about the appointment of someone recently. This diverted the squall from the Mayor for a moment, and gave him time to suggest suavely in reply to Alderman Hilditch that possibly Alderman Hilditch would now appreciate the need for a stringent system of rules in regard to enquiries, though they were not yet working under the New Procedure By-law that portion of which he had not approved. ‘COUNCIL DIVIDED | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 had no retaining walis after all. Alderman Smith’s Contract How much should the walls have cost? How much. should have been done? Alderman Mor- rissey believed Alderman Smith was responsible for the carrying out of a contract for the railway company for about a mile of coursed masonry right here in Rupert. He would like to know why the city couldn’t have solid retaining walls too, Alderman Hilditch interrupting exclaimed, ‘‘There aren't 500 yards of Alderman Smith’s wall.’’ Alderman Morrissey: ‘I’m open to bet there’s 500 yards at least and a good deal more.” Alderman Hilditch to Alderman Smith: “I fancy that wall was built by force account, wasn't it, Alderman Smith?” Alderman Smith was silent, and Alderman Morrissey went on to point out the $9000 retrenchment included in the report on the engineering department. The Retrenching They Didn't “On our election we were pledged to retrenchment,’ said Alderman Morrissey. ‘‘We have yet to show some signs of retrenching any. This is our first opportunity to retrench, and we are bound to do it. Alderman Hilditch may think this is a huge joke but it is a serious matter.” “This is far too important a question to vote on in a hurry,” said Alderman Smith, ‘I should like to move an amendment that it lie over until Wednesday night.” “Hear, Hear,’’ Says Hilditch “Well,” said Alderman Newton resentfully. “It was suggested not long ago that if I did not get a gait on as the saying goes, I should find the matter done over my head.” “Hear, Hear!'’ shouted Alder- With a scornful glare in the direction of. the noise, Alderman Newton went on solemnly. He was only trying to do what he had been sent to the council to do. But if Alderman Morrissey was willing he would allow Alderman Smith’s amendment to come in as a motion. He wanted the matter fully considered. He had seconded the motion simply to bring the matter before the coun- cil. Alderman Newton reproved Alderman Hilditch for his un- seemly levity. Hilditch Hits Back No sooner was Alderman New- ton down than Alderman Hilditch was up. “Alderman Morrissey,” he said, ‘‘says that I think this a huge joke. Alderman Newton says so too. I am only going to say that when a man comes to this council and talks about some- thing he knows nothing whatever him. It is the proper thing to do to show the whole council that these men don’t know what they are trying to talk about.” Who's Two Faced? This got Alderman Newton go- ing. “‘I’d just like to say this,” he said. ‘Until just lately Alder- man Hilditch has taken the at- titude of objection to the engineer- ing department. Well, I may be ignorant, and Alderman Hilditch may be ignorant, but all I can say is this, that there are some mem- bers of this council who are either ignorant or two-faced. Alderman Hilditch can take his choice, or both.” Alderman Hilditch’s reply to this was to tell Alderman Newton to his face that whoever might be ignorant .on the council the en- gineering department is certainly the best in B. C. Douglas Gets in His In it at the finish came Alder- man Douglas saying gleefully: “Well, I think Alderman Newton is the ignorant one in this case but Aldermaa Hilditch had _ his chance to show his ignorance when he couldn’t read my writing the other night. (Huge mirth over council board and audience. Even Alderman Newton smiled). Finally with still more perilous politeness than he had yet shown Alderman Morrissey rang down the curtain: ‘I have the highest opin- ion possible of Alderman Hilditch's intelligence,’ he said, ‘‘and I must really thank him for his opinion of mine.” The Reorganised Staff According to the report the re- organized staff would be made up as follows: Rngineer pro tem, Lucas at $250 per month; Esti- mator and Inspector, Oakley $150; Local Overseer of waterworks, sew- ers, etc., Heward, $125; Overseer of Grading, ete., Miller, $125; Overseer of Retraining walls, cul- verts, etc., Newcombe, $110; Dr- aughtsman, Simpson, $110; and Accountant and Stenographer Bratt, $100 per month.

Nelson, June 20.—The Nelson Board of Trade at a special meet- ing last night passed a resolution asking ‘that the attention of the government be at once called to the seriousness of the situation in connection with the coal strike, with a view of preventing any further loss of time by the Board of Conciliation. They asked that should there be any further delay the government would cause the opening of the mines under a guarantee to workers, so that any loss or danger may not be incurred. Make Position Clear Prince Rupert city council havi- ng had its attention called to the issue by ‘The Prince Rupert Hy- dro Electric Co.” of advertisements in Eastern papers setting forth that they have rights to valuable water powers for the supply to Prince Rupert of electrical power, and apparently indicating that they are also sure of the street car franchises, etc., instructed the clerk last night to communicate with these papers making the position clear. The company is evidently the Tsimpsean Co. with which R. Brutinel is associated. “WHIRLWIND” Alderman Newton on the Elec- tric Light Plant—His Energy Gets the Better of. His Vo- cabulary. “Fifty thousand dollars of the citizens’ money has been thrown into the junk heap. It is too bad to see city money squandered and city business mismanaged like this. ‘Let us spend a little more money now and get to rock bottom, and have expert opinion on the light plant. Someone in authority on last council bungled, and now we are reaping the whirlwind,” (AI- derman Newton called it the “worldwind,”” but he meant the other kind.) The famous sentence Was ut- tered after Alderman Smith had tried to explain to the Editor Alderman how hard it had been to put together the temporary light plant from odd machinery bought on short notice. In reply to the said sonorous sentence Alderman Smith, in business-like manner, explained that probably not even thirty per cent of the $50,000 would be found in material which cannot be used to good purpose in the HyPro-electric scheme. Made Timely Rescue The prompt action of Charles Smith, mate of the §.S. Hazel- ton, saved an Indian woman from drowning last night. The woman was standing on the edge of the wharf when she lost her balance and fell into the water. Mr. Smith threw a rope to the woman and dragged her out.

Phone 118 SMALL DEBTS COURT DISTANT No Great Encouragement Offer- ed by Mayor to Suggestion that Attorney General Should be Approached. Efforts on the part of Aldermars Kerr, supported by Alderman New- ton and backed by Alderman Douglas to steps to get the Attorney General to establish a Small Debts Court in Prince Rupert fell rather flat at the discouraging attitude of the Mayor. Mr. Manson said that he had spoken several times to the At- torney this, but Mr. Bowser had pointed out var- ious difficulties in the way. The question of salary of the magis- have the city take last night’s council owing to General about trate who would preside over the court was an obstacle.* The court would require all one man's at- tention, and it would worth a Iwayer's while to take the work at a slaary, or words to this effect. Alderman Douglas said the mat- by the not be ter had been suggested Board of Trade two years ago, but nothing had come of it. A small debts court was badly needed in the city. To him it looked as if the Attorney General were try- ing to protect the legal fraternity in Prince Rupert and afraid to take work out of their hands. “Oh no, no, it’s not that,’ replied the Mayor hastily, The motion was allowed to stand over meantime, FIRST GOLD SHIPMENT Alaska Sends $66,000 to Seattle- $15,000,000 Expected + Seattle, June 20.——The first ship- ment of gold from Alaska was received here today amounting to $66,000.
