What
of
the
Coming
Year?
HAVE
BEEN
ASKED
a
good
many
times
V'E
J
since
the
year
turned
as
to
what
we
expect
for
;
Prince
Rupert
in
1947.
Quite
frankly,
we
look
for
no
sudden
boom
in
Prince
Rupert
this
year
but
wj
do
hope
for
steady
progress
toward
the
development
and
expansion
of
our
great
natural
resources
and
the
use
of
our
strategically
located,
amply
equipped
port
and
facilities
along
sound
and
permanent
lines.
In
spite
of
reverses
and
disappointments
which
we
have
suffered
since
war
ended
arid
during
the
still
uncompleted
period
of
transition,
we
expect,
barring
soma
national
economic
calamity
which
would
carry
us
all
downward,
that
a
year
from
today
Prince
Rupert
will
be
enjoying
a
sounder
measure
of
prosperity
than
it
is
today.
Meantime,
there
are
none
who
can
say
that
Prince
Rupert
with
little
if
any
unemployment,
its
people
well
fixed
with
the
world's-
goods
and
business
people
enjoying
good
patronage
and
demand
with
some
lilies
they
still,
profess
they
are
unable
to
meet
isnot
a
prosperous
place
today
even
if
some
of
us
may
be
a
little
unhappy
over
the
recession
to
normalcy
from
the
unnatural
war
boom.
We
may
have
a
seasonal
quiet
for
two
or
three
months
between
now
and
spring
but
we
know
that
our
basic
industries
are
due
for
a
good
year
if
for
no
other
reason
than
the
still
unfilled
demands
not,
orily
of
the
home
but
the
world
markets.
The
lumber
-industry
has
still
a
lot
of
unfilled
oiylers
to
catch
up
with
as
the
whole
country
cries
for
building
materials.
That
will
keep
the
men
busy
in:
the
mills
and
in
the
woods.
The
demand
of
the
world
for
food
will
keep
the
fishing
industry
at
a
high
economic
level
and
agricultural
products
will
still
be
in
strong
demand.
i
The
year
1946
was
the
best
our
mining
industry
Klvhad
since
before
the
war.
All
signs
point
to
1947
being
an
even
more
active
year
in
reopening
such
coastal
areas
as
Portland
Canal
and
Alice
Arm.
There
should
also
be
a
real
revival
in
the
central
interior
as
long
inactive
properties
command
renewed
attention
and
steps
proceed
to
open
up
and
de'velop
new
properties.
Our
basic
industries
are
in
a
very
promising
condition
and
they
reflect
their
healthy
state
in
the
prosperity
of
the
distributing
and
administrative
centre
of
Prince
Rupert.
Wo
have
mentioned
nothing
about
the
more
problematical
possibilities
of
increased
shipping
through
Prince
Rupert
as
a
result
of
the
expanding
use
of
the
port
for
Alaska
traffic,
possible
grain
shipping
or
even
transpacific
commerce
which,
although
having
suffered
temporary
setbacks,
are
by
no
means
to
be
ruled
out.
We
have
not
speculated
on
what
may
ensue
from
the
clarification.
of
the
disposition
of
the
great
war
established
facilities
here
and
hereabouts.
Nor
have
we
counted
upon
what
may
result
from
the
extensive
surveys
tljat
are
now
being
made
in
connection
with
the
possibility
of
a
new
major
industry,
involving
not
only
this
port
and
Port
Edward
but
the
whole
lower
Skeena
Valley.
If
any
of
these
things
develop,
they
will
be
all
to
the
good,
over
and
above
what
we
may
surely
expect
from
a
normal
use
and
development
of
already
established
and
developing
basic
exploitation
of
our
natural
resources.
We
think
of
the
situation
from
all
angles
and,
although
to
be
sure
things
may
not
have
been
moving
as
rapidly
we
might
have
hoped
for,
we
can
see
no
reason
for
pessimism
or
uneasiness
about
the
fiiture
immediate
or
long
range
of
Prince
Rupert.
A
reactionary
is
anyone
who
talks
about
real
wages.
Council's
Burden
F
THE
INAUGURAL
address
of
our
lady
mayor
may
be
taken
as
the
keynote,
the
new
city
council
is
resolutely
setting
itself
to
the
job
ahead
with
realism
and
courage.
Mr?,
Arnold
accepts
the
position
that,
unless
some
immediate
and
permanent
improvements
are
made,
heads
will
fall
"including
our
own."
Shand
her
council
know
that
the;
public
is
becoming
increasingly
impatient
about
the
disgraceful
condition
of
the
city's
facilities
and
services
suc'h
'as
street!,
waterworks
and
sewers
and
that
even
the
mopt
valid
of
excuses
for
nothing
being
done
to
improve
them
-will
not
be
accepted.
In.
other
words,
the
1947
city
council
Is
"on
the
spot"
for
sure
and
it
must
get
something
done
or
take
the
consequences.
It
must
not
only,
try;
It
must
do.
It
is
not
going
to
be
good
enough
to
tell
us
there
is
no
money.
If
there
is
no
money,
something
must
be
done
about
obtaining
it
and
that
without
further
delay;

last

He
has
put
forth
a
rumor,
and
even
said
it
himself,
that
he
wishes
to
retire.
The
difficulty
confronting
Canada
is
that,
to
date,
no
one
else
has
appeared
in
any
party,
around
whom
the
electorate
can
rally.
Liberal

if
such,

be,
is
not

The
Gallup

the
relative

of
the
