IN SESSION Charles Vizer Elected President at Meeting Last Night A meeting of the Prince Rupert Labor Council was held last night in in the the Prince Prince Rupert Rupert Labor Labor Coun- VISITED committee which had been assign ed to go into the matter of in creased school accommodation. This report suggested that the Ideal plan lor meeting the situation" would be a new eight or ten room schopl possibly J,n the vicinity of Conrad Sireel or adjacent to the 1 ptesenJKinsd ward Schjopl, It was llelt thir at least a new six room ! school would be required. iteporung ior uie cuiuauut-c, 3. Smith gave figures to Show that the greater bulk of the new houses which would produce the additional school population were being erected on the ether side of Hays Creek. Two hundred such new houses about to be completed, it been estimated, 'would result .n some 150 moie school children. The High School as at present should be able to meet the situa- tlon with the possible addition of another teacher. However, Seal Cove School would probably have to accommodate 170 children witn about ninety additional for King Edward. A six-room school at Seal Cove might fill the bill but the .deal solution was. a new eight r en room school either In the vicinity ' of Conrad Street or coluoiu K rig EdWa d School. The idea of Wartime Housing as suming the responsibility of build ing a new school here as It had done In North Vancouver at a cost of $68,000 was discussed. Trustee J.'T. Langridge felt U might be possible to have a new fireproof modem school erected adjacent to King Edward School, the present school to be eventually lorn down. Trustee C. G. Ham pointed out that $10,000 had been spent last year alone on repairs to old schools. Recommendation for a new school will go before the city cil with a view to Wartime Hous ing co-operation which' there was reason to believe would be Peter Cousins Is Laid at Rest Many friends gathered yesterday at the Second Street Chapel of the B.C.
