That

took
a
leading
place
last

in

of
a

committee
report
to

council
that
an
application
has
been
made
to
Wartime

and
Trade
Board
to
increase
garbage
collection
charges.
If
you
raise
the
garbage
fees
arc
you
going
to
increase
the
service?"
Alderman
Nora
E.
Arnold
asked.
"I
for
one
am
sick
and
tired
of
carrying
my
garbage
can
to
the
street."
Alderman
Robert
McKay
replied
that
they
intended
to
return
to
the
back
door
system
of
collection
dear
to
the
hearts
of
householders.
'That
will
start
the
ball
rolling.
The
point
is
that
the
garbage
collection
department
is
going
$50
a
day
in
the
hole.
We
want
to
do
something
about
It."
"Well,
we
can't
think
of
raising
the
collection
fees
without
improving
the
service,"
Alderman
George
Hills
commented.
"I
think
that
should
be
written
into
the
report."
Alderman
Brett
said
that.
In
spite
of
the
total
increase
In
the
garbage
department
s
acncii,
nc
did
not
think
that
the
per
capita
cost
to
the
city
had
increased.
"Even
before
the
war
the
gar
bage
collection
cost,
the
city
something.
I
don't
think
that
the
per
capita
cost
has
increased
much
over
the
pre-war
years.
The
loss
has
simply
multiplied
with
the
increase
In
population,"
he
said.
Council
adopted
the
recommendation,
as
well
as
one
advising
that
no
consideration
be
given
to
the
letting
of
a
contract
for

and

explore
the
possibility

The

on

part
of

authorities
but
they
have
succeeded
in
gaining
assurances
that
the
matter
Is
being
considered
in
Ottawa
and
Montreal.
The
city
council
and
Prince
Rupert
Cham-ber
of
Commerce
were
so
advised
last
night.
Fear
that
because
of
the
present
uncertainty
of
the
future
of
the
dry
dock,
many
workers
may
leave
the
city
was
basis
foe
the
urgency.
Mayor
Daggett,
chair
man
of
the
committee,
told
the
council
last
night.
"There
is
-a
good
deal
of
unrest
in
the
city
and
it
could
be
settled
if
we
knew
what
is
to
happen
at
the
shipyard,"
Mayor
Daggett
said.
Seeking
specific
information,
the
committee
wired
R.
C.
Vaugh-
an,
president
of
the
Canadian
National
Railways,
and
Hon.
C.
D.

minister
of

on

Tlie
following
reply
was

from

on

'Everything

has
been
done
and
is
being
done
to
se:ure

and
keep

yard

The
Chamber
of

feu
that
the

Its

In

Immediately
moved
to
