TO KEEP THE PUPILS FIT Dr. N. McNeil Appointed Medi- cal Health Officer for the Public School. Janitor’s Sal- ary Raised. Use of School Building by Outside Organis- ers Vetoed. Dr. Nei] McNeil has been ap- pointed Medical Health Inspector for the Public School of Prince Rupert at a salary of 125 per month. His duties will be to keep a watchfu) eye upon the pgysical condition of the pupils generally according to the Jatest edu ational ideas and to report and act upon any cases of defective sight, hear- ing, or other physical imperfections found liable to impair the child's aptitude or health at school. Phys- ica) examination of the children will be held periodically. It had been at first intended to appoint Dr. J..O. Reddie, medical health officer of the city ,to under- take this work, but as Dr. Reddie pointed out to the Schoo] Board at their meeting yesterday he as city officer is Jiable to have cases of infectious illness to attend to at any time when he could not perform his schoo] duties. A raise of $15 per month making his salary $90 was granted the janitor, the raise to take effect from November Ist. General ac- counts of the janitor’s efficiency were given by the headmaster who was present at yesterday’s Schooi Board meeting. The monthly pay ro]] amounting to $815 was passed also minor accounts just ecxeeding $100. Three coa] tenders each of $9.50 per ton were received from Messrs. Lindsay, Rogers & Biack, and the GOVERMENT TO RETAIN WHARF (Continued from Page One) some time, and suggested that a Government appointed manager of the wharf would constitute a practical means of managing «the undertaking satisfactorily. Commission Again Mr. D. G. Stewart suggested a commission to have absolute con- trol) of the wharf. The Mayor thought that a single manager— call him a commissioner if you jike—would do the work fully as wel] as a commission, Mayor Gibson remarked that if the concern were going to pay then the city wanted it. If not, then they better let the Govern- ment experiment with Govern- ment money. (Laughter). He thought the Government could quite well fix the rates, and one man appointed to run the concern free of the usual Govern- ment red tape would satisfy the people of Prince Rupert. To be Big Job Mr. Foster expressed the idea that the man put in charge would need to be given considerable authority. He would require to be a man of considerab!e authoirty —a man big enough for the job which would be a big one. The adjustment of claims of various kinds for instance was a matter demanding the greatest possible judgment and authority. Suggested a Resolution At this point Mr. Foster put it to the meeting that his im- pression now was that they were Union Transfer Co. respectively. Messrs. Lindsay wil] be asked to deliver the November supply, and Messrs. Rogers & Black the De- cember supply of coal for the schoo] if these firms are agreeable to supply a month’s cua] at the rate quoted. App. ications were received from two _ ladies, Miss Robinson and Miss Mac- kenzie. They were filed, the clerk being instructed to inform the Jadies that there is no vacancy in sight at present. Principa] Hunter mentioned that a Jady connected with one of the churches, he thought, was drilling some of the younger children in a Maypole Dance in the school basement. He mentioned this in case the Board had any objection. The Board had objection to the extent that they wished those desiring to use the schoo] building in this way to seck permission by application to themselves in proper course. They agreed that to es- tablish any precedent in giving the use of the building indis- criminately would be unwise. for teacherships Principal Hunter reported that} schoo] affairs are in general, very} satisfactory there being at Jeast| 270 scholars in attendance now.| Classes are not yet overcrowded, | but those of the teachers educating | the younger pupils are likely to| be so in the new year, and pro-| vision to meet this must be made} before Jong. HENRIETTE TOWS | opposed to any leasing of the Government wharf. ‘‘Is this so? he asked. “If so I should like it put in the form of a resolution.” Mr. D. G. Stewart put the matter in the form of a reso- Jution: ‘That this gathering of representative citizens of Prince Rupert is opposed to any leasing of the Government wharf.’’ Cy Peck seconded the motion which the Mayor put to the meeting. It was unanimously carried. Mr. Foster noted the emphatic expression of the resolution and stated that this was exactly the class of information he wished to carry to Victoria. The question now came to be that of the sug- gested management of thw wharf. Board of Appeal To have a Board of Final Appeal in Prince Rupert, which would settle disputes, ‘was an idea which Mayor Gibson declared would suit most citizens. The idea that the wharf once in good working order would not be a cut throat competitor to the |G. T. P. was expressed, and it was suggested that the end would be in steamers calling at both wharves. Mr. Rogers agreed that this would be so at least with carload lots of freight. Ald. Hilditch's Idea Alderman Hilditch made the suggestion that the city should run the wharf paying the Govern- ment 3 1-2 per cent on the capital outlay and taking all profits above this. In the event of loss the Government to share this with the city. (Laughter). i !

C. and Aiberta and will be one of the Jargest cities in British Colum- bia.” NAAS RIVER NENT May Become Smaller Sort of Skeena Next Summer. It is evident that there is to be extensive development done by the Naas River district in the spring of next year. Firms supplying engineers for river boats are already being ap- proached regarding installations for new boat contemplated, one of the latest being a gasoline driven shal- low-draught vessel on the same lines as the Hazelton, only about forty to fifty feet long. A proposal to have this boat built either as a funnel boat or a sternwheeler is under discussion by a small group intending to get hold of some of the business that is certain to be profitable for suitable boats making Naas trips next year.

ANGLICAN CLUB FOR ATHLETICS New Organization Fairly Launched and Will Occupy Spacious Hall on Second Avenue, Quite quietly during the past ten days the young men of the Anglican Church have been organizing an ath- letic club and last night arrange- ments were made by which the club shall have the use of the building on Second Avenue formerly occupied by Messrs, Flexman & Brown's, which is suitable for a gymnasium, Tonight the young men interested in this club will meet there to make final arrangements. Amongst the leading spirits in the organization of the club were the Rey. W. James, Mr. Gamble, Mr. W. E, Fisher, F. 8. Long and W. H, Vickers. These constitute the com- mittee responsible for the initial ar- rangements in the launching of a club which already numbers about seventy promised member and is cer- tain of great success this winter be taken into consideration too. Want Gov't. Administration Some general opinions were ex- pressed following this motion, and to bring matters to a head Mayor Gibson put the following motion “that this meeting approves the Government's running the wharf.” “IT am against the city’s having anything to do with this,’ he said. ‘‘The counci] has enough to do.” D. G. Stewart seconded. The motion was put by Mayor Manson promptly and as promptiy carried without a dissentient voice. Reconsidered the Motion After a pause Alderman Newton arose and said the motion had been put rather hurriedly and suggested reconsideration. A. J. Morris was of similar mind and Major Gibson himself moved re- consideration of the motion re- marking, however, that his own mind was made up about it. The reconsideration resulted in a little support for Alderman Newton's amendment that the Government appoint a commission to discuss the city’s taking charge of the wharf which, however, was Jost. Major Gibson's original motion again carried by majority on a show of hands. Three Commissioners The idea was mooted by several minds that there should be a commission on which the city should have representation and which the wharf manager could consult in matters requiring joint mind judgment. This was put into a definite motion by Cy Peck: “That the Government appoint a com- mission of say three on which the city shall have representation which shall act with the wharfin- ger.’ This which Mr. Foster called “tan advisory committee,” ——_- o-——_———_- W.
