Inception
a
couple
of

ago,
has
been

Idle,
Its
secretary,
Don
Forward,
advised
the
city
council
In
a
communication
read
at
last
night's
council
meeting.
The
letter
was
written
In
view
of
questions
asked
at
a
recent
meet
ing
of
the
council
as
to
what
the
recreational
association
was
doing
in
the
way
of
promoting
local
activities
for
the
young
people.
The
council
was
advised
that
a
large
portion
of
the
funds
deemed
necessary
for
the
carrying
on
of
recreational
activities
had
become
available
through
solicitation
of
orgarzatlons
and
Individuals.
The
executive
had
also
been
successful
In
finding
a
suitable
director
in
the
person
of
George
A.
McGregor
who
would
arrive
In
Prince
Rupert
shortly
after
August
31.
More
recently
with
the
air
directorate,
Mr.
McGregor,
a
graduate
of
the
University
of
British
Columbia,-
had
been
identified
with
the
Department
of
Recreational
and
Physical
Education
of
the
provincial
government
for
several
years.
Meanwhile,
summer
work
In
the

had
been
carried
out
on
the

with
Miss
Bobby
Balrd,
Mrs.
Carlson
and
George
Ferguson
as
supervisors
at
McClymont

Fraser

and
Seal

respectively.
-
As
for
winter
activities,
negotiations
were
now
under
way
with
the
Y.M.C.A.
whereby
It
might
be
possible
that
the
Y.M.C.A.
War

centre
could
be
used
for
the
youth
In
this
city
prior
to
the
time
It
became

Failing
this,
negotiations
were
under

to
carry
on

In

in

today
that
legislation
making

the

may

be
far
off.
The
Indications

In

conferences
among
a
number
of

officials.

that

That
music
which
issues
from
juke
boxes
is
a
form
of
merchandise
Just
such
as
comes
from
other
types
of
vending
machines
is
the
contention
of
the
Prince
Rupert
city
council
which,
at
last
night's
meeting,
while
considering
resolutions
which
are
to
be
presented
to
the
forthcoming
annual
convention
of
the
Union
of
British
Columbia
Municipalities,
put
forward
a
resolution
that
juke
boxes
should
be
licensed.
At
present
they
are
not
covered
by
license
fee.
Alderman
Hills
brought
up
the
proposal
that
they
should
be
licensed.
Another
resolution
to
be
.submitted
by
the
local
council
Is
that
property
which
Is
sold
by
the
provincial
government
to
private
owners
who
later
might
default
without
payment
of
taxes
should
Instead
of
revetting
back
to
the
government,
go
to
the
city
like
ordinary
delinquent
property.
This
proposal
to
this
effect
was
made
by
Aid
McKay.
No
action
was
taken
by
coun
ell
on
a
proposal
of
Aid.
Sorerii
sen
that
the
provincial
government
should
offer
property
ll
holds
for
sale
at
the
prices
com
patlble
with
assessed
valuation
of
city
property
similarly
located.
At
present
the
provincial
gov
ernment
holds
out
for
what
Is
considered
actual
rather
than
assessed
valuation.
No
less
than
64
resolutions
were
on
the
list
which
was
con
sidered
by
the
council
last
night.
Emanating
from
various
muni
cipallties
of
the
province
and
covering
a
wide
range
of
questions
of
municipal
Interest,
they
were
each
read
individually
and
took
about
three
hours
to
deal
with.
'
One
resolution
which
met"wlth
hearty
approval
was
the"
hardy
perennial
that
the
provincial
government
should
assume
the
responsibility
for
the
entire
cost
of
education.
Another
calling
for
the
sending
back
to
Japan
of
all
people
of
Japanese
origin
was
rejected
by
the
council
on
a
majority
vote.
