WAY
PAVED
FOR
OFFER
Paving
the
way
for
an
offer
to
be
made
by
the
Roman
Catholic
Church
to
establish
a
new
hospital
in
Prince
Rupert,
the
annual
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
General
Hospital
last
night,
on
motion
of
W,
O.
Fulton,
seconded
by
Frank
Dibb,
passed
a
motion
that,
"in
the
event
of
any
person,
firm
or
corporation
coming
forward
with
a
proposal
to
erect
and
operate
a
new
hospital,
a
special
meeting
be
called
within
two
weeks
to
consider
such
a
proposal."
In
bringing
up
the
subject,
Mr.
Fulton
said
he
understood
the
Sisters
of
St.
Anne
had
a
suitable
site
on
Fourth
Avenue
and
had
a
fund
of
$200,000
which
they
were
ready
to
spend
on
a
hospital
if
suitable
arrangements
could
be
made.
This
might
meet
the
requirement
for
'a
new
hospital.
The
raising
of
$30,000
by
canvass
under
present
conditions
would,
to
say
the
least,
be
an
enormous
task;
In
seconding
the
resolution,
Mr.
Dibb
thought
the
present
board
should
be
given
full
opportunity
to
make
public
its
position.
In
further
discussion,
the
concensus
of
opinion
seemed
to
be
that
any
such
offer
as
that
sug-Tested
should
be
considered.
After
all,
the
important
thing
was
a
more
adequate
hospital.
Mr.
Fulton
expressed
the
opinion
that
the
offer
mitht
be
forthcoming
within
a
week.

OTTAWA,
Jan.
27:
(CP)
Estimates
totalling
almost
$9,000,000
were
approved
ia
the
House
of
Commons
last
night
for
the
departments
of
public
works,
fisheries
and
transport.
Hon.
P.
J.
A.
Cardin,
minister
of
public
works,
obtained
approval
of
all
his
appropriations
for
public
buildings
and
said
the
fact
that
estimates
were
lower
this

policy.
When
discussing
the
votes
for
public
buildings
In
British
Columbia,
David
Spence,
Conservative
for
Toronto-Parkdale,
objected
to
an
Item
of
$150,000
for
a
public
building
at
Prince
Rupert
which
he
said
was
"the
deadest
town
in
British
Columbia."
!
Olof
Hanson,
M.
P.
for
Skecna,
said
he
was
glad
the
remark
had
been
made
because
it
gave
him
an
opportunity
.to
say
that
Prince
Rupert
was
one
of
the
greatest
Pacific
ports,
occupying
a
position
of
gre'at
strategic,
importance,
with'
railway
facilities
second
to
none.

Mr,
Hanson
suggested
to
Prirce
Rupert's
critic.
Hon.
Dr.
S.
F.
Tolmie,
Conservative
member
for
Victoria,
endorsed
Mr.
Hanson's
observations
and
said
nobody
really
knew
the
potential
value
of
that
Pacific
outlet
to
a
great
country.
"Even
without
Mae
West,"
he
said,
"we
have
attractions
there
for
hundreds
of
thousands
of
people."
Party
Lines
Broken
'
Party
lines
were
practically
forgotten
In
the
House
when
Rt
Hon.
,
R.
B.
Bennett,
on
motion
to
go
Into
supply,
urged
that
steps
be
taken
to
hold
a
constitutional
convention
at
which
would
be
represented
all
schools
of
thought
in
provincial
legislatures
and
Dominion
Parliament
with
a
view
to
obtaining
'
agreement
on
needed
amendments
'
to
the
British
North
America
Act.
No
vote
was
taken
but
It
was
I
agreed
by
many
speakers,
Includ-j
ing
Prime
Minister
W.
L.
Mackenzie
King,
that
the
discussion
had
served
a
good
purpose
in
bringing
the
problem
to
the
forefront.
1
"The
question
Is
primarily
one
of
procedure,"
said
Mr.
King.
"I
believe
the
method
suggested
might
be
described
as
the
Ideal
one.
Personally
I
have
long
held
the
view
that
this
would
be
the
right
course
to
pursue
and,
at
times,
have
so
expressed
myself.
The
difficulty
would
be
to
get
all
concerned
to
enter
the
project
In
the
right
spirit
of
unity."
