'so
far
at
least,
has
no
idea
of
what
i;uu,
may
be
made
of
the
great
port
installations
which
the
war
brought
to
Prince
Rupert
such
as
the
huge
warehouse
and
cargo
wharf.
A
nebulous
idea
is
put
forward
that
something
eventually
may
be
done
through
co-operative
effort
between
"the
railway,
the
municipality
and
the
government.
This
was
disclosed
before
the
civic
court
of
revision
yesterday
by
the
railway
taxation
com-...jaissioner
who
unsuccessfully
sought
to
have
some
special
consideration
rgrvenjn
the
way
of
taxation
in
view
5Pf
the
buildings
being
idle
with
no
H$Iimeditite
prospect
of
any
use
being
7Tade
of
them.
".'
We
aye
not
particularly
interested
in
disfcussing
at
the
moment
the
advisability
of
making
tax
conces-
sions
on
these
installations
in
order
to
encourage
their
use
for
industrial
purposes.
It
is
timely,
though,
to
suggest
that
once
again
we
should
be
bestirring
ourselves
to
"sell"
them
for
active
use
so
that
the
development
of
this
strategic
port
may
be
speedily
brought
about,
ly
Here
in
Prince
Rupert
we
can
wntinue
the
campaign
along
these
lines
no
more
effectively
than
by
endeavoring,
as
we
have
been
doing,
to
spur
the
railway
company
and
the
government
into
some
action
whereby
Prince
Rupert
may
be
brought
to
play
its
part
in
the
opening
up
of
this
port
and
area
from
a
-national
standpoint.
After
all,
the
property
concerned
is
theirs
and
we
''
Would
think
it
only
good
business
"that
they
should
endeavor
to
do
sqmething
toward,
putting
it
into
-profitable
use.
True
enough,
Prince
Rupert
should
not
expect
the
railway
com-'
pany
or
the
government
to
do
everything
without
any
effort
of
its
own
jbut
jthe.fact
is
that
the
development
of
Prince
Rupert
and
this
great
northwest
country
of
Canada
is
something
that
would
be
of
national
much
more
than
mere
local
bene-.
fit.
.,'.'7.
Further,
the
railway
company
i,arid
the
government
are
in
better
position
to
make
the
contacts
which
'
may
ultimately
lead
to
the
utilization
of
these
great
terminal
facili-
-;
ties
and
the
achieving
of
the
ment
which
will
make
for
the
com-
mon
prosperity
not
only
of
the
community
of
Prince
Rupert
but
of
the
whole
of
'Canada.
We
should
pull
our
own
load;
here
in
Prince
Rupert
but,
when
we
seek
the
assistance
of
the
'
railway
and
government,
we
have
no
reason
to
rest
content
with
"it's
up

Fifteen

people
in

by
1990
would
represent
a
gain
of
approximately
38

from
