Beiierose, general manager. The increase was not confined to any one territory, he said, but was fairly general over the entire country. While the major proportion of the Improvement was due to an Increase In the volume of general merchandise traffic, there were also fair Increases In the movements of fresh and salt water fish, domestic and foreign fruit as well as other perishables usually transported by express. Mr. Beiierose pointed out that a substantial reduitlcn in charges on packages weighing two to 25 pounds destined to points reached by express companies in Canada was placed in effect on December 20, 1937. by the Canadian National and all other express companies operating In Canada. There were corresponding reductions In charges on heavier packages moving between transcontinental points. In keeping with the practice for some years past a large number of 'horse-drawn vehicles were with drawn at several points In Eastern and Western Canada and replaced by motor trucks. Such changes were made for the purpose of speeding up collection and delivery of express traffic. "So far as can be foreseen at this date." Mr Beiierose said, "the prospects of Increased express business, during 1938 appear to be fairly good" Cityls Asked To JTveiHUVe Dpmnvp lUUlgClU5 Inf1iCTPnfc Communication Received in Regard to Hospital Inmates no Longer Needing Treatment A letter from the Prince Rupert Oeneral Hospital was received at the City Hall today requesting the city to make arrangements for the removal within fourteen days of six Indigent patients who, having been in the hospital In excess of three hundred days and ceasing to need hospital care, the provincial government Is withdrawing the per diem erant covering them.
