The $510 .account submitted by Mr. Lafkche was for his fee in Payment was authored on' Jeturnl.ng to Jhe city Jast month recommendation of the .finance committee, whose chairman is Alderman Young's and who advised the council that the committee was not satisfied. Sharpest crlt:cl.cm of Mr. Lantern's work .as appraiser .was levelled by Alderman T. B. Black, who had appealed the assessment on his own property in court of revision. Alderman Black asserted that, as a result of last year's appraisal, "we shall have to fpend to give eyiaencc at we coun oi revision following his previous services as appraiser or valuator last year. "Worse- than the $510 payment is the fact that the appraisal necessitated our city solicitor putting; in so mu?h time and work as to render a bill of $1,150 for legal services," Alderman Youngs concluded-.Council approved Mr. La- fleche's payment with Aldermen Black and Casey dissenting.

Theatre Box Office Yields No Less Than $8819 for Red Cross The odd pennies which Capitol Theatre patrons may toss jnto the Red Cross box after getting their change at the box office may seem negligible but over the period of the last five years they have aggregated the substantial amount of $8819.19 for the humanitarian cause, it was announced yesterday afternoon by Manager J. H Black follow ing a check-up. Coppers, of courJS, have predominated In the hox but there have also been a few nickles and dimes. As might have been expected, the box received its peak offer ings in the year 1944 when the war boom was at its height In Prince Rupert and it was almost a privilege to get into the theatre. Last year a definite slump was shown. Here are the figures year by year: 1942 $1200.00 1943 2400.00 1944 2700.00 1945 1738.43 1946 655.70 1947 125.06 BUILDING REQUIREMENTS GENERAL REPAIRS FOUNDATION WORK CONSULT THE NORTHWEST CONSTRUCTION LTD.
