Electric Railway was Investigated, not with the government Intention of going into the business of transportation but that the government would supply power to the large municipalities if they wished to so into the business of transportation and the distribution of power and light. In the meantime a Public Utilities Commission had been appointed to govern the charges made to consumers of light and power throughout the province, and benefits had been passed on to the consumers since U1I3 commission had started work. A bill for half a million dollars had been passed to purchase heavy machinery for land clearing purposes, to clear land for faitnars at cost. The only reason why such machinery had not already started operating was because It could not yet be purchased. Priorities on thU machinery had, however, now been removed and it was hoped to be able to get machinery soon for this puiipcie. Legislation had also been passed whereby village municipalities could borrow money on bond issues, which bonds would be guaranteed by the province, for the purpose of installing water and sewerage facilities and like self-liquidating utilities. This would prove a great baon to small communities. A million dollars a month was being roent on social services and such services in British Columbia were the highest in all Canada, bar none. The Workmen's Compensation Board legislation had recently been overhauled and the labor legislation of 13. C. was the best in Canada. No Increase In Taxation There had been no increase in taxation under this government but some reductions two years ago had reduced motcr licence fees by 20 per cent, this having taken away $400,000 per year ive Prince Rupert a A A.

Opp. YMCA from the tax receipts of the province. The government had two large nurseries for young trees in operation, growing and distributing 20 million young trees per year for the reforestation of logged off lands. Another nursery 'was In course cf construction which would add another 10 million young trees per year. These trees were being distributed free to the large lumber companies and anyone else that would use them for replanting the million acres of logged off lands that had to be reforested In order to assure a continuous crop of timber for' the future. A commission under Mr. Justice Sloan had been appointed to go into an investigation of the complete timber Industry from growing trees to the eventual marketing of timber prcoucts. In the matter of public works Mr. Anscomb stated that there were 27,000 miles of roads and 67 miles of bridges in British, Columbia. A highway board con ' sisting of three best engineers in the province and headed by Mr. Carruthers had been appointed tq settle the problems of roads and bridges. They had complete control in the matter cf what roads and bridges were to bg built and where. Three hundred men had been employed during the past year in surveying new roads and straightening out old ones, and outlining future building programs. The Fine Pass, road to Peace River was now being built to connect this vast area of British Columbia with Its vast and productive lands with British Columbia,. all of the business from this area now going through Edmonton and Alberta. Twenty-two million bushels of wheat was now being grown In the Peace River Block and there was an estimated two billion tons of coal which was of better quality than the Welsh anthracite coal. The highway would not solve all the requirements of this area, however, and It was necessary to continue the P.O.E. Into that area, .This matter was already under consideration by the B.C, government. The B.C. government had supplied the Dominion government with the most comprehensive program for rehabilitation of any of the provinces and covered a program for the next ten years. Upon the insistent demand that the heavy school taxes be taken from the land, the government had adopted the report of the recent Cameron Commission and it was expected to lower the mill rate on lands to an average of five mills, and that only 75 per cent of Improvements would be taxed. Mr. Anscomb then turned his attention to the policy or the lack of policy of the C.C.F. party. He pointed out that the proposed C.C.F. policy for reforesta tion was already in operation in the province. The same applied to the C.C.F proposed electrifi cation policy and a number of THIS MUST NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN! Remember the raucous voice which hurled out threats through '37, '38 and '39? And the dark months which followed, with the news always of defeat? .It is to prevent this happening again, that Canada shares- in the occupation of Germany.

The C.C J", pnposed to put 100,-000 men to wcrk whereas, as he pointed out, not one of the members of the C.C.F. In Victoria had ever given employment to anyone and yet they wanted to take on the business of the running of the government which was the biggest business In B.C. He exhorted those present to see that they marked their ballots for their present member, E. T. Kenney, on election day, and so continue in operation the best government that the province had ever had. Mr. W. J. O'Neill was chairman of the meeting, and other speakers for a few minutes were Olof Hanson and Dr. L. M. Greene. SOS FOR BANANAS CARDIFF.

Prince Rttprrr Daflg JActos Saturday, October 13, 1945 LETTERBOX I HELPING BILL BRETT Editor, Daiiy NDews: With a great deal of interest after keen anticipation did I listen to Mr. Casey's radio address Thursday night in support of Tr D. Pattullo. Mr. Casey's address was advertised a3 being entitled "Socialism and the Policy of the C.C.F." However, during his entire speech the speaker did not once mention the word Socialism so it can only be' concluded that his knowledge of the subject is very limited. Mr. Casey's reference to Mr Brett was of such a nature that lr scarcely merits reply. To put it mildly, it was In very poor taste. Mr. Pattullo Is not to be con gratulated on his choice" o supporting radio speakers. Onejmore exhibition such as that of last night and it will be almost ui)f animously for Brett. 1 H. E. E. FAUHe.
