to

a

to
the

at

on

was

The

It
form
the
basis
of
an
article
in

periodical.
This
will
be
given
full
and
Immediate
consideration
by
the
committee.
The
lack
of
Information
residing
the
policy
to
be
adopted
by
Canadian
National
Steamships
was
the
subject
of
serious
discussion.
Their
failure
to
replace,
the
-steamship
P-rl
nee
George
on
this
run,
particularly
when
50
many
Americans
wish
to
visit
this
northern
area,
was
s"vcrrly
criticized.
The
matter
will
be
followed
up
very
definitely.
The
development
of
local
In
dustries
was
considered.
It
was
felt
that
a
survey
would
reveal
that
certain
Industries
might
readily
expand
if
more
capital
were
available.
The
firms
would
need
to
.supply
information
as
to
their
future
plans,
their
present
activities
and
their
immediate
needs.
The
need
for
more
direction
signs
In
the
city
to
enable
tourists
to
kpow
how
to
find
their
way
to
various
centres
of
Interest
was
discussed.
Auto
Camp
Here
Needed
The
desirability
of
having
an
auto
camp
established
was
stressed.
It
was
reported
that
the
local
Public
relations
Committee
had
planned
to
put
up
signs
and
place
a
plan
of
the
city
showing
centres
of
Interest
at
the
wharf.
The
fact
that
the
Canadian
National
Railways
had
removed
the
"Welcome"
sign
at
the
foot
of
the
ramp
from
the
wharf
was
regrettable.
A
notice
stating
that
"Prince
Rupert
Welcomes
You"
would
be
a
kindly
and
positive

to
all
tourists.
