W. PUGSLEY Assistant Secretary Sir, des not to Sir, : reading out of the above in council at an early stage oceedings last night had the is effect of bringing Alderman ch and Alderman Newton D the same side of the fence He manifest discomfort of man Hilditch. That ‘fine ie phrase From Mile 0 sly” has sent a cold shiver the backs of those councillors aattled for the bays before. ian Newton, Alderman Dou- glas, and Alderman Hilditch begin to doubt now whether the promises made by Mr. D'Arcy Tate re- garding the filling up of the bays beyond Hays Creek are as good as they seemed. Map Marked Red When the city agreed to with- draw the protest against the plans filed by the G. T. P. it was dis- tinctly understood by the aldermen that only the bays as far as the Cold Storage were to be filled up. They understood that the protest withdrawn did not cover Seal Cove for instance. But it now appears that on the map filed by the G. T. P. and read as part of the protest now withdrawn red lines meaning filled up bays looks as if the city has relinquished the right to protest against the filling up of Seal Cove and even bays beyond it too. Got a Gold Brick As Alderman Douglas put it: “The city has been handed a gold broick by D'Arcy Tate. Alderman Newton's phrase was: ‘The wool has been pulled over our eyes." Alderman Hilditch who was evi- dently ill in the same at ease lin the also received last night. team with Alderman Newton, be- trayed some symptoms of crawling down in his agreement with Al- derman Smith thai ‘‘Shawatlans Passage was as good an anchorage for small boats as Seal Cove."

City in Danger Declaring that his disgust at the doings of the present Licence Board outclassed even his con- tempt for the behavior of the last board, Alderman Newton de- clared that Prince Rupert is in danger of becoming a roystering reckless city of huge flaring corner saloons haunted by bums and bad characters, their proprietors under the thumb of men still worse principled. That the effort to alter the present Liquor Licence By-law was purely for the purpose of getting two more bottle licenses issued, Alderman Newton was con- vinced. In vain did Alderman Kerr assure him that the amend- ment was proposed in order to save all the liquor licences in the city except one hotel man’s and one wholesale merchant’s from being quashed because of the technical defect in the dates de- tected first by Mr. A.
