That plank sidewalk on Third avenue east of Fourth street is an improvement to be sure, but quite a number of citizens have been asking why it wasn’t built on the other side of the street at this point. It starts off at the Police Office, which is only a temporary police office after all, to be abandoned when the new City Hall is ready. Then it passes along a group of barren Government lots, unoccupied except by one small shack which once did duty as the police office. Across Third street the new sidewalk passes Mr. Barrow’s house. Mr. Barrow was once an alderman, but it can’t be for his convenience that the sidewalk takes his side for he doesn’t live in his house now. The next and last building passed by the sidewalk is the Mu- nicipal ‘Hello House,’ which, though a busy centre, costs no shoe leather to reach, and has no special need of a sidewalk. The sidewalk ends at Second street just opposite The News’ office. Now on the other side of the street, where there is no side- there are a great many business premises. First, there is Wallace’s department store, still isolated by morasses and rockpiles. Then there is Mr. Kauffman’s music store, also iso- lated by contractors’ leavings. There is the Empire newspaper office, the McCaffery & Gibbons residential and business block with William Grant’s plumbing office and show rooms and E, L. Fisher's funeral chapel. Besides this there are several occu- pied flats, where women and children all of which are reached across makeshift side planks. but not least, there is The News office, access to which wilderness of jagged rocks. By every rule of obvious public need the sidewalk should have been run down the opposite side of the street to that which Why was it not built?

WANTED—SOME LABRADOR FISHERMEN. Full credit to Herbert H. Stevens, Conservative member of Parliament for Vancouver, for advocating in the House of Com- mons the settlement of a thousand Labrador fishermen and their families upon the coast of Northern British Columbia.
