Recommendation to Council

with them in regard to In the opinion of the Board of

the incoming and settling here of
industries. A letter will be sent
to the city council expressing this
and requesting an assurance that
this will be the attitude of the
city so that the fact may be
stated definitely and with authority

Kindly state if it is the policy
of your city to encourage the
establishment of industries em-
ploying a large number of hands

The question of the Tsimpsean
Power Company’s position was
discussed at some length. While ~
it was agreed that the coming
into the city of a corporation
ready to instal speedily a power
scheme would be an inducement
to other industries to locate here,
the members of the Board of
Trade are by no means assured
that the Tsimpsean Company is
the only one. Mr. J. Kirkpatrick
announced that he had a corpora-
tion, and which he believed to
be a better concern for the city
than the Tsimpsean. It had been
principally a gas company, but
he had himself induced its heads
to go into the electric power
business and aim at Prince Rupert.

The Tsimpsean Proposals

Some talk about the Tsimpsean
Company's proposals in which
these were criticised more or less
resulted in the statement by Mr.
L. W. Patmore that the proposals
published in the local press for
the perusal of the public were
drafted in one day by Mr. R.
Brutinel asd that their intention
was simply to form the basis of
discussion and further negotiation
