INQUIRY
OF
RAILWAY
CO.
While
not
united
on
the
matter,
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce
last
night
decided
to
ask
the
Canadian
National
Railways
management
if
it
would
be
open
to
consider
an
offer
for
the
purchase
or
lease
of
the
local
dry
dock.
Some
of
the
members
were
of
the
opinion
that
the
I
local
yard's
only
hope
for
future
i
activity
was
if
it
got
into
private
,
hands.
Others
felt
that
a
re-1
quest
such
as
this
at
the

might
prejudice
any
plar-that
might
be
entertained

A

that
