HUNTER, Managing Editor. H. O. PERRY, Managing Director, MEMBER OP CANADIAN PRESS AUDIT BUREAU OP CIRCULATIONS CANADIAN DAILY NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION Up to City Council IN AN EXTENSIVE and exhaustive report on J the public works of the municipality, which may well be accepted as flie keynote document of reconstruction; long deferred and now becoming critically essential, the city engineer reminds the council that there is no overall plan for reconstruction of sewers, water distribution system and streets and that such an overall plan is a fundamental requirement if the money available is to produce the maximum of lasting results. It is not the first time that the need of such a plan has been mentioned but, so far, although there has been a loT of generalized talk about the deplorable condi-ions existing and the need of doing something about it, the councils, have not got down to business in the matter of planning a definite program of She needs. Now the city engineer throws the matter right in the lap of the 1947 council, pointing out that it will be necessary for him to have technical help in the laying out of the program. The immediate thing to do, of course, is the Jaying out of the necessary work and estimating finally how much it will cost. Then there will be the very perplexing problem of how it will be financed which, obviously, will have to be along extraordinary lines. Everyone in the city knows that something has to be done right soon about the streets, some of which are approaching the state of becoming impassable. We are told by the engineer that the condition of sewers and waterworks are relatively as bad. The situation is a challenge to the talent, enterprise and ingenuity of the mayor and aldermen. A state of deterioration has been reached now where no further time can be wasted in planning the repairs and, somehow or other, getting'something done instead of iust nlavinir Jirnnnrl TVlO HOW nlftf dMmni'l I,, U ' 1 1 11: 1 . . . -"""tJi is iu wisneu me Dest ggluck m getting along with a. difficult job. Qood Citizen Gone Petty Thievery LATE JOHN J. LITTLE, THE vice-president and general Jnanager of the Northern British Columbia Poer Co., whose geath we regretfully record today, was a good and useful Citizen. That he should have passed away at such a relatively young age makes his demise all the more regrettable. Mr. Little was not only a Competent technical man, who Jerved this community well for mariy years, first as an official of the city utilities and then as head of the company which supplies us with our Jiht and power, but also an able executive. He had Jived with us continuously for wore than thirty years, except for the time he was serving Overseas in the First Great War. In addition to his primary business duties, he had found time to be active in public and semi-public organizations as well as in clubs and lodges. Few local citizens had more numerous personal FORMER MAYOR OF EDMONTON PASSES AWAY EDMONTON -- John Wesley Fry, who served as mayor of Edmonton from 1937 to 1944, thus establishing a long record of tenure of office for this city, succumbed to a stroke Monday. The city council, which was in session, immediately adjourned oh being informed of Mr. Fry's death. (Born in Ontario, Mr. Fry taught school in Saskatchewan and came to Edmonton in 1912 t start in the construction business. He was seventy years of aHL -t- I HI-WAV SERVICE Now Open for Servicing, Light Repairs t and Vulcanizing BELLAMY k TWEED 404 McBride f OWE YEARS AGO the Daily J News installed oyer its tront office window a lighting fixture for the purpose of helping passersby after dark to read our bulletin board.

The. last time this week it was removed the same night as it was put out.

LETTERBOX THAT -WAS RIVER TRIP Editor, Daily News: I have iust rpa.i In vnnr nirvif of November 25, the account and experiences of the two men frcoi Alice Arm. Quite an experience but untrue.
