ARTICLE
Prince
Rupert
needs
Industry
and
should
press
hard
for
the
possible
ones.
We
should
Insist
that
a
mill
be
started
by
the
Northern
B.C.
Power
Co.
before
their
franchise
Is
extended
not
necessarily
a
pulp
mill
though!
The
pulp
market
Is
getting
overcrowded,
and
with
the
war
over,
other
countries
are
entering
world
markets.
Sweden
for
Instance!
But
they
could
put
in
a
rayon
and
dense
plastic
plant.
Ihcre
Is
an
unlimited
market
for
both
these
products
with
a
higher
profit
and
of
course,
they
are
made
fiom
the
self-same
wood
pulp.
The
Power
Co.
has
the
capital
and
wide
experience
in
mills
and
It
would
be
a
far
more
stable
industry
for
Prince
Rupert.
The
American
Can
Co.
is
rumored
to
be
interested
In
the
large
American
warehouse
here.
It
would
be
an
Ideal
location
for
them.
We
have
railway
and
ship
facilities
and
a
large
percentage
of
their
market
lies
around
Prince
Rupert.
There
Is
also
Plenty
of
timber'
for
boxes
etc,
Hammond
Bros,
of
Vancouver
have
shown
an
Interest
in
establishing
a
furniture
factory.
While
not
a
large
payroll
it
would
help
the
district
as
a
whole.
We
have
plenty
of
timber
and
certainly
plenty
of
available
space
for
this.
However
the
city
council
must
realize
that
ery
generous
concessions
are
necessary
to
bring
'hese
or
any
other
industries
to
Purree1
Rtrpert;.
wlthW
resulting
beneficial
payrolls.
They
should
do
everything
possible
to
make
It
advantageous
for
the
companies
to
come
here.
The
government
should
be
pressed
to
bring
work
to
the
Dry
Dock.
They
should
at
least
build
one
coastwise
vessel
here
at
Prince
Rupert.
Otherwise
private
ownership
seems
the
only
solution
to
bring
competitive
work
to
the
yard.
Wc
should
also
pres3
the
government
for
coal
bunkers.
They
are
a
vital
need
If
Prince
Rupert
Is
to
expand.
Also
of
course
we
must
have
a
free
port.
Vancouver

s0
why
can't
Rupert
receive
the
.same
consideration.
A
free
port,
fuel
bunkers
and
assurance
of
a
full
cargo
will
bring
ships
here.
Why
not
try

o
have
a

cpen
an

here
to
arrange
these
things.
For
a
smaller
project,
the
Famous

Corporation
should
now
build
the
theatre
they
(as
I
understand
It)
promised.
Materials
are
available
now
as
other
theatres
are
being
built
and
the
present
theatre
Is
a
disgrace
to
any
clt
half
the
size
of
Rupert.
For
the
social
side
we
should
get
behind
a
"Teen
Town"
of
our
own
and
boys
clubs
etc.
to
keep
the
youth
off
the
streets.
An
Indoor
swimming
pool
and
roller

would
help.
Also
a

the
native

would
help.

for

a
he

his

of
the

at
Victoria.
He
told
the
Prince
Rupert
Gyro
Club;
so
in
a
luncheon
speech
yesterday
as
he
recounted
his
Impression
of
the
session.
Mr.
Brett
was
not

he
made
it
clear,
that
there
should
be
any
abolition
of
the
democratic
right
of
free

ha
did
feel
I
thathe-
ordinary

cies
really
had
little
effect
upon

and
to
him
they
became
"somewhat
boring"
The
real
work
is
done
by
the
cabinet
and
in
the
committees,
he
declared.
The
local
member
told
how
nearly
every
member
at
the
recent
session
had
taken
the
opportunity
to
"ride"
the
jiublic
works
department.
"Of
course,"
he
admitted,
"I
had
to
chip
In
too
but,
when
one
considers
the
tremendous
amount
of
work
involved
in
attending
to
the
roads
of
the
province,
it
is
understandable
that
those
in
charge
might
be
inclined
to
feel
each
separate
complaint
rather
Insignificant."
Speaking
of
the
road
policy
situation
that
had
arisen
In
regard
to
the
Prince

Highway,
Mr.

acknowledged
thc
assistance

the
Prince

"If
