After
hearing
of
a
good
and
effective
job
which
was
done
in
the
advancing
of
Prince
Rupert's
various
claims
for
recognition
and
development
as
an
industrial
and
snipping
centre
by
the
civic-business-labor
delegation
which
recently
journeyed
to
Montreal,
Ottawa
and
Winnipeg,
a
largely
attended
and
en-,
thuslastic
public
meeting
in
the
'.
;
city
council
chamber
last
night
resolved
that
there
should
be
no
let-up
ln
the
effort
so
ably
In-
itiated.
Accordingly
a
permanent
continuing
committee
was
named
consisting
of
Mayor
H.
M,
Daggett,
W.
M.
Watts
and
James
Nicoll,
who
comprised
the
delegation,
and
J.
S.
Wilson,
W.
F.
Stone,
T.
N.
Youngs
and
Bruce
Miekleburgh.
The
three
delegates,.
In
their
reports,
laid
much
interpsting
Information
before
the
meeting,
it
being
apparent
that
their
representations,
to
government,
rail
way
ana
nnanciai
interests
whose
leading
representatives
they
had
met
had
been
as
good
seed
sown
ln
fertile
ground,
giving
promise
of
fruitful
yield.
The
mission,
if
it
had
accom
plished
nothing
else,
had
shown
the
powers
that
be
that
Prince
Rupert
was
alive
to
its.
own
po
tentialities
and
advantages
and
intended
to
insist
that
due
rec
ognition
and
advantage
be
taken
thereof.
But,
further
than
that,
there
was
good
reason
to
be
lieve
that
concrete
and
substan
tial
results
would
ensue
from
the
mission
providing
there
was
follow-up
by
continuous
pressure
ln
the
proper
quarters.
The
first,
.of
the
delegates
to
present
his.
report
was
Mayor
Daggett
who
commenced
by
narrating
the
movements
or
tne
delegation.
First
there
was
the
visit
to
Winnipeg
and
a
lengthy
Interview
with
W
R.
Devenish,
vice-president
in
charge
of
western
lines,
Canadian
.National
Railways,
and
J.
M.
Horn,
freight
traffic
manager,
to
whom
the
brief
regarding
future
operation
of
the
dry
dock
and
replacement
of
coastal
steamships
had
been
presented
as
well
as
the
brief
on
subsidizing
of
a
stcamhlp
service
out
of
Prince
Rupert
to
the
United
Kingdom.
On
to
Montreal,
there
had
been
conference
with
N,
B.
Walton,
executive
vice-president
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways,
on
the
same
matters.
In
Ottawa
there
had
been
meetings
with
the
deputy
minister
of
national
defence,
Minister
of
Transport
Lionel
Chevrler,
Minister
of
Reconstruction
C.
D.
Howe,
Minister
of
Trade
and.
Commerce
J.
A.
McKlnnon
and
Deputy
Minister
of
National
Defence
Rc.ss.
Re-'
turning
there
had
been
another
stop-off
at
Winnipeg
to
again
see
Mr.
Devenish
after
the
members
of
the
government
had
plainly
laid
on
the
lap
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways
the
responsibility
of
making
a
go
of
its
terminal
at.
Prince
Rupert
together
with
the
dry
dock
property
with
the
suggestion
that
the
railway
management
get
out
and
rustle
like
other
businesses
had
to
do.
"To
my
mind,"
said
the
mayor
in.
further
reflection
vthc
meeting
with
the
minister
of
trade
and
commerce
"was
one
of
the
most
satisfactory
interviews
of
the
whole
trip.
I
believe
Mr.
McKlnnon
was
really
impressed."
Getting
down
to
the
particular
business
of
the
city;
the
mayor
expressed
satisfaction
over
a
meeting
wth
the
deputy
minister
of
national
defence
ln
regard
to
the
matter
of
repairs
to
war-damaged
streets
and
utilities
of
Prince'
Rupert.
"I
have
no
doubt."
Mr.
Daggett
told
the
meeting',
"that
we
will
be
recompensed
for
the
damage
that
was
done.
I
was
informed
that
a
special
committee
was
to
meet
October
9
to
consider
the
matter
of
damage
done
to
communities
such
as
ours
due
to
the
war
effort."
As
for
the
question
of
the
local
Y.M.C.A.
war
services
building
being
obtained
for
isc
as
a
civic
centre
now
that
the
war
is
over,
the
mayor
Informed
the
meeting
that
no
4eflnlte
answer
was
yet
available.
Regarding
maintenance
of
naval
and
air
base
at
Prince
Rupert,
the
mayor
said
he
had
been
told
that,
due
to
the
atmolc
i
bomb,
naval
and
air
bases
as
defence
projects
were
now

ed
officially
as
of

regarding

Mr.
