Daggett to be thc third member. Tlie date when thc delegation will present thc brief has not yet been settled but probably it will be at least two weeks away. In thc meantime, a ways-and means committee, composed ot Alderman Robert McKay, Jamca Nicoll and Paul Ti.raugcr was set up to raise funds for thc venture.

Alderman T. N. Youngs countered that "someone should represent Prince Rupert who is not Interested In labor or business but in the city as a whole.
