If my interpretation of the section is correct, we stand in imminent danger, and I ask each ard all to look into the matter carefully and defeat this bylaw. “It may well be asked why the people should consider seriously any such adjustment of the G, T. P. assessment. Many people ap- pear to think that an adjustment of this matter will settle our money market so to speak, make our securities unquestionable, and cause a rise in real estate. By what manner of logic they arrive at this conclusion, I know not. How can a higher rate of taxes upon the land held by private owners in Prince Rupert increase the value of real estate? How can a decreased assessment add to our security? Truly a tug-of- war condition between the city and the railway company is not to be desired, but this may be better than the condition which will probably ensue when we and the world at large come tO realize MAPLE LEAFS CAN COME BACK Score at Last Night's Ball Game 32-25 in Favor of the Foliage. Crescent B.'s Have Their Glo- ry Bedimmed a Bit. The Maple Leafs ‘‘came back”’ last night defeating the Crescent B.’s by 32 to 25 in a good game. As the Leafs include in their “make up” a good sprinkling of the original ‘‘Typos’’ team, the undefeated doyens of indoor base- ball in Rupert, the victory is a ‘ that we have consented to bear the burdens of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company. Under the very worst conditions imayin- able, the Grand Trunk Pacitic Railway Company could not re- duce its annual taxation to any- thing like $15,000 ‘per annum, and the outside money lender could quite easily be convinced of this, hence how can such an adjustment add to our security. “The word padding in sections 7, 8, 9 aid 10 means nothing for these are merely ancillary to trans- portation and traffic and are gov- erned by laws of economic necessity more immutable and _ irresistible that this agreement. The future of Prince Rupert is assured and there is no accelerating its progress by trash agreements or retarding its development by a railway com- pany petulant over a few thousand dollars of taxation. The great danger is lest its progress be stayed by a foolish shifting and irrational apportioning of the bur- den of taxation from the shoulders of the giant to those of the pigmy holder, Treat the railway company fairly, but surely this sacrifice on behalf of the people is too generous and the efficacy of the agreement too uncertain.” A PROPERTY HOLDER WATERWORKS CONTRACT (Continued from Page One) cumference. I am in favor of the days labor system, and in the event of the bylaw’s passing I am ready to resign my seat and run again in competition with any other man on a straight issue of days labor versus the contract system.’’ Applause greeted the redoutable Douglas as he thus flung down the gauntlet. Mayor and The News very popular one. Crescents were in swashbuckler mood after defeating the Quills in their last game, especially when the very next match the Feathered Bunch showed themselves equal to the task of laying out the be- ribboned Royals. The crowd quite expected to see the Leafs begin to turn pretty colors and_ flutter earthwards again, but it didn’t happen. They are at the top of the tree today. But they had a close tussle for it. Not until the eighth innings when the score stood 21-20 their favor did the game turn for them. Then with a grand spurt they made 11 runs with two men out, and won amidst terrific enthisuasm. Cres- cents’ chances for the Manson silverware are somewhat crimped now, and the Leafs are aflutter with excitement over their own. The next few games in the League will be hot stuff as rivalry grows intenser every day. in In addition to the President Hays party the Prince Rupert, which got in shortly nine this morning, had an unusually large list of passengers. Among them were Sir Jchn Barker, of the famous Barker _ stores. With Sir John are Mr. and Mrs. Cope- land, W. Burt, G. Glasson, H. Pearce, Miss Pearce, Mr. Tharby and Miss Duff. Sir Reginald McLeod of Scot- land, has with him a party of twelve and among the other nota- bles on board were Mr. Walker of the family so long connected with the management of the London Times. ¢ alver Mrs. McClymont will hold a reception at her home on Borden street on Friday, September Ist, from 4 to 6 p.m., in honor of her sister, Miss McLenaghan of Por- tage la Prairie. The Graham Island Oil Fields, Limited CAPITAL STOCK $1,000,000 The Mayor gave a lengthy ex- position of both bylaws in his speech at the start of the meeting. Referring to The News editorial pointing that bylaws could not be submitted the people as one, the Mayor declared that the city solicitor had advised them that all was in order with the hydro-electric and water supply system's being combined in one bylaw and that the responsibility rested with the city solicitor. Mr. Brutinel Replies Mr. R. Brutinel on the invitation of the Mayor replied to the state- ment made that his company was behind the agitation to knock the Hhdryo-Electric Bylaw. ‘‘Our company is not behind that agi- tation,”’ he declared. ‘‘You can take my word for it. I am a gentleman. Mr. Manson himself has vouched for it.’’ Which was in fact the case as Mr. Manson had referred to the gentlemanly dealings of Mr. Brutinel with the council throughout all discussions on the business. ' Quoted the Mayor In further reply to criticism of his company’s proposal’s Mr. Bru- tinel quoted the Mayor who at the outset of the meeting had said “When we get into technicalities over electrical matters we are all at sea, and I am not going to try to explain them to you.” “Mr. Manson has said that he is not a technical man,’’ remarked Mr. Brutinel. ‘‘How then can he advise you on the merits of elec- trical matters?” R. King the labor spokesman in a perfervid speech declared that the laborers on the waterworks should have the right to say (1) how much the work shculd cost (2) how much their wages should be (3) how long and how hard they should work.

Granted that the city council had given the rate-peyers enough time to thoroughly the matter, perhaps fearing that dis- cussion meant disclosures, or that if delayed a few weeks our usual season of wet weather would be discuss upon us and the people might then be more reluctant in voting over a half million dollars into the hands of two or three individuals to spend as they saw fit in securing a permanent supply of water and power for Prince Rupert; pecially as costly mistakes are very likely to happen, as a result of and such es- numerous in event, the individuals spending the money, having nothing stake, lose nothing, of increased falling on rate-payers. Have the present the majority, shown themselves capable and competent of having responsibility thrust upon causes, at the burden cost the council, in such them, as the passage of this Bylaw means? Have they shown them- selves to be economical in the ex- penditure of the rate-payers’ money in the construction of walls, building of pole lines, con- struction of sewers and man-holes? No hes yet been able to ascertain definitely the cost of any of the above work, but ask retaining one the opinion of any disinteresied party who hes watched the progress of the work and their answer will invariably be, the cost must be enormous. Is that the reason the Board of Public Works and the Engineering Departmert are dodging these questions of cost? Perhaps Providence not only sent this rain to relieve our present needs, but es a good omen that all tax payers should heed, and before consenting to the expendi- ture of this large amount, assert their rights and demand that the most economical methods be used in carrying on. the work, and re- quire those doing the work to furnish sufficient bond to guarantee its completion at no additional cost to the city. How are the rate-payers to know, but that with $550,000 they will only get $100,000 worth of work done? I overheard three laboring men who are employed by the Board of Public Works Department dis- cussing the situation. One of them remarked, that this was the easiest job he had ever had, that one had work, much harder with contractors than they did now working for the city, and that they must vote for these same men the next time, for that reason. How does that to you rate-payers here who are anxious to avoid building up a. strong political machine in Prince Rupert? Even though promises are made, 1 should strongly object to this money being spent by the present men in power, Yours very truly, “A CITIZEN" to sound CAREFUL LOOKIN Pot seers rere ~~ rere Money to Loan Sides willl Money to Loan on Prince Rupert Real Estate.
