J
Commissioner
Alder
The
first
speaker.
City
Commissioner
W.
J.
Alder,
spoke
of
the
development
of
the
natural
resources
of
this
district
since
the
founding
of
the
city.
The
pioneers
had
had
little
conception
or
appreciation
of
the
real
importance
of
possibilities
of
timber,
fishing,
minerals
and
agriculture
hereabouts.
Despite
setbacks
which
the
city
had
suffered
principally
through
the
war
and
the
depression,
definite
progress
had
been
made
and
the
natural
resources,
the
speaker
believed,
had
been
developed
to
an
extent
exceeding
all
expectations.

In

world.
The
Importance
of
the
agricultural
hinterland
of
any
city
was
stiessed
by
the
commissioner.
Communities
with
sound
agricultural
background
had
weathered
the
recent
period
of
stress
the
best.
The
farming
hinterland
of
Prince
Rupert
had
as
great
possibilities
as
that
of
Vancouver
and,
with
more
attention
now
being
paid
to
the
problems
of
marketing,
Mr.
Alder
felt
that,
in

HOSPITAL
MEETING!
Proposal

For
Optional
Tax
;
Privilege
Rejected
Joe
Bron
To
Operate

The
board
of
directors
of
the
j
Prince
Rupert
Oeneral
Hospital,
at
its
regular
monthly
meeting
last
night,
after
due
consideration,
de-I
elded
against
endorsing
a
resolu-,
:
in
from
the
city
council
of
Trail
,
requesting
that
municipalities
be
given
the
option
to
levy
a
tax
for
;
medical
and
hospital
services
similar
to
a
scheme
which
has,
been
introduced
by
the
employees
of
the
Consoldated
Mining
&
Smelting
Co.
j
at
Trail.
The
reason
of
the
local!
board
in
not
endorsing
the
resolution
was
that
the
relative
position
of
Trail
and
Prince
Rupert
were
entirely
different
and,
while
it
was
felt
that
the
cause
was
a
worthy
one,
it
was
considered
that
the
time
of
putting
It
into
effect
so
far
as
Prince
Rupert
is
concerned
was
'most
Inopportune.
