Committee
For
Report
at
Next
Meeting
The
Prince
Rupert
phamber
of
Commerce,
at
Its
regujar
meeting
last
night,
referred
to
a
committee
proposal
to
recommend
that
a
branch
highway
be
constructed
from
Galloway,
Rapids
to
the
can
neries.
The
resolution
was
moved
by
W.
O.
Fulton
but
Mr.
Fulton
said
he
did
so
not
because
he
liked
the
policy
but
because
he
had
been
requested
to
do
so.
He
would
like
to
have
the
sense
of
the
chamber
in
regard
to
It.
'
Personally
Mr.
Fulton
said
he
liked
the.
idea
of
the
highway
golnr
by
way
of
the
lakes
and
Warke
Canal.
It
was
proposcdjto
build
to
Prudhomme
Lake
thlt
year
anc
very
soon
It
would
be
possible
to
drive
to
the
h:ad
of
Wjxike
Canal.
The
motion
was
seconded
by
John
Gurvlch.
S.
E.
Parker
made
a
Strong
plea
for
continuation
of
the
highway
as
laid
out
by
the
engineers.
He
thought
the
chamberllshould
be
consistent-.
'
Last
year
"It
opposed
a
proposal
to
go
to
th?
canneries.
He
could
not
see
where
the
city
would

sufficiently

Mr.
Parker
said
he-had
gone
Into
the
matter
with

and
he
thought
it

then

I
have
inquired
from
the
Sisters
of
St.
Ann
who
have
charge
of
St.
Joseph's
Hospital
at
Victoria,
if
they
could
undertake
the
erection
at
Prince
Rupert
of
a
hospital
thoroughly
modern,.
"In
reply
I
am
advised
by
said
Sisters
that
they
are
prepared
to
build
at
Prince
Rupert
a
modern,
up-to-date,
fireproof,
75
bed
hos
pltal,
which
very
likely
will
cost
over
$200,000.00
provided
the
hos
pltal
field
Is
left
entirely
to
them
by
the
Prince
Rupert
Hospital
Association
and
that
no
other
hos
pital
shall
receive
any
support
from
the
province
or
the
city;
and
providing,
also
that
the.
Prince-.
Ru
pert
Hospital
Association
turn
over
its
assets
to
the
Sisters
of
St.
Ann.
"In
return
the
Sisters
will
agree
that
their
hospital
at
all
time
be
of
a
slze
and
condition
to
satisfy
the
hospital
needs
of
Prince
Rupert;
adding
to
the
institution
whenever
the
need
arises.
It
Is
understood
also
that
the
Sisters
Hospital
shall
receive
the
same
support
from
the
medlary
to
help
to
start
negotiations.
I
believe
moreover
that
two
Sisters
representing
their
Order
should
come
to
Prince
Rupert,
If
so
desired,
to
meet
the
local
authorities.
"Yours
very
truly
"E.

Most

and
Objection
Is
Taken
to
This
It
was
reported
at
the
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
last
night
that
a
letter
had
been
written
to
Olof
Hanson
at
Ottawa
In
regard
to
the
Japanese
fishing
licences-
issued
here
as
follows:
'
"This
Chamber
of
Commerce
to
of
the
opinion
that
some
change
should
be
made
in
the
method
of
distributing
the
licences
that
are
granted
to
Japanese
gill-net
fishermen
in
this
district
each
year.
"While
the
295
Japanese
licence
holders
catch
their
fish
in
the
waters
contiguous
to
Prince
Rupert,
only
about
one
hundred
of
them
are
residents

their

newed

to
year,
and
be
unable
to
fish,

is
replaced
by
a
Japanese
fisherman
permanently
resident
In
this
district.
"This
system
has
proven
satisfactory
to
Prince
Rupert
and
district
until
comparatively
recent
times,
as
there
were
no
more
than
100
Japanese
living
permanently
here
who
could
use
the
licences.
However,
the
situation
Is
now
dlf-
ferent.

of

theie
are
'now'
another
fifty
Japanese
altogether
available,
i
who
could
efficiently
use
the
Ja-
panese
fishing
licences,
but
by
the
system
now
used,
it
will
be
a
long
time
(if
ever)
before
they
will
be
able
to

"Therefore,
In
view
of
the
fact
that
the'
salmon
are
caught
In

ve
feel
that
the
department
should
more
actively

that

"We
