City
IfflDf
In
her
"inaugural"
address
to
the
first
session
of
the
1947
city
council,
Mayor
Nora
E.
Arnold
last
night
named
improving
the
condition
of
the
city's
streets
as
"the
greatest
job
ahead
of
us"
and
predicted
"heads
will
fall
in
the
dust,
including
pur
own"
unless
some
immediate
and
permanent
improvement
is
made.
Terming
her
remarks
"a
brief
outline
of
the
work
ahead
of
us
in
1947,"
Mayor
Arnold
listed
seven
items
inherited
from
the
1946
council
and
also
stressed
the
need
for
a
long-term
street
and
sewer
program.
"Much
of
this
necessary
work
cannot
be
done
out
of
present
income
and
it
will
be
the
responsibility
of
the
finance
committee
to
work
out
ways
and
means
and
to
bring
in
recommendations
to
this
council,"
she
said.
Items
inherited
from
ldst
year's
council,
and
termed
"extremely
pressing"
by
Mayor
Arnold,
were:.
1.
The
chlorinating
plant,
purchase
of
which
was
later
approved
by
the
aldermen
during
the
meeting.
2.
The
Seal
Cove
seaplane
base,
which
has
been
offered
by
the
government,
and
which
must
be
investigated.
3.
The
Civic
Workers'
Union
request
for
a
working
agreement.
This
was
referred
to
the
chairmen
of
the
utilities,
works,
and
finance
committees
for
consideration.
4.
The
new
police
agreement,
solution
of
which
is
dependant
oni
a
requested
visit
from
Provincial
Police
Commissioner
T.
W.
S.
Parsons.
5.
Future
operation
of
the
city
ambulance,
from
which
the
hospital
board
has
withdrawn,
and
which
cost
the
city
$1,000
as
half
share
last
year.
6.
Operation
of
the
Pioneers'
Home,
which
Mayor
Arnold
has
suggested
should
be
administered
by
a
board
of
governors
composed
of
members
from
city
council,
the
public
and
interested
organizations.
7.
The
Zoning
Uy-law,
which
is
in
need
of
immediate
revision,
to
facilitate
the
orderly
expansion
of
the
city.
BUSY
YEAR
COMING
UP
Mayor
Arnold
predicted
:
"busy
year"'
for
the'
Board
of
Works
and
utilities
committee,
explaining
that
for
that
-reason
she
had
chosen
five
aldermen
for
the
board
of
works,
three
of
which
also
were
named,
to
the
rermanem
ovements
utilities
committee
"so
that
they
can
work
closely
together."
She
cited
the
need
for
repairs
and
replacements
of
the
city's
sewers
and
urged
a
plan
covering
a
period
of
years
for
all
public
works.
"Wc
cannot,
even
if
wc
had
the
money,
do
it
all
this
year
but
the
most
pressing
jobs
should
be
done
first
and
a
sccdulc
for
other
years
worked
out
with
the
hope
that
succeeding
councils
will
follow
the
lines
laid
down,"
she
said.
"The
greatest
job
ahead
of
us
is
improving
the
condition
of
the
sreets.
How
far
wc
can
go
with
major
repairs
will
depend
on
the
money
available
but
some
immediate
and
permanent
im
provement
must
be
made,
or
heads
will
fall,
our
own
among
them."
Regarding
the
proposed
road
to
the
fishermen's
floats
at
Fairvicw
Bay,
"which
has
been
approved
but
is
still
in
debate,"
Mayor
Arnold
said:
"It
is
most
necessary
that
we
do
all
we
can
to
support
our
main
industry
and
the
route
must
be
satisfactory
to
all
concerned.
Since
the
road
will
serve
not
only
Industrial
concerns
but
the
Dominion
government
floats
as
well,
it
seems
that
the
city
alone
should
not
be
expected
to
bear
all
the
cost."
Mayor
Arnold
concluded
with
a
wish
for
a
"congenial
and
useful
year
of
work
together,
know
ing
as
I
do
that
you
are
all
desirous
of
Improvement
and
progress
for
our
city."

during

Mr.

on

some
of
his
plans
for
Chamber
activity
during

There

Past
Year
In
Review
Reviewing
efforts
which
had
been
made
to
have
ships
built
at
the
local
dry
dock,
the
establishment
of
a
pulp
mill
brought
about,
the
locating
of
a
naval
base
at
Prince
Rupert,
passage
of
grain
through
the
elevator,
development
of
freight
shipments
on
ocean
going
vessels
through
this
port,
operation
of
car
barges
from
Prince
Rupert
to
southeastern
Alaska,
the
building
of
a
new
hotel
at
Prince
Rupert,
engagement
of
housing
loans,
starting
of
small
industries
arid
other
matters,
the
retiring
'president,
Mr.
Stone,
described
the
past
year
as
one
of1
"disappointment
and
frustra-.
tion."
However,
it
had
not
been
without
its
bright
spots
including
the
highly
successful
convention
of
the
Associated
Boards
of
Trade
of
Central
British
Columlbia
at
Terrace
and
the
'development
of
purchases
here
arid
traffic
through
this
port
to
southeastern
Alaska.
"The
possibility
of
Alaskan
shipping
developing
through
this
port
and
the
buying
of
certain
commodities
from
Prince
Rupert
and
vicinity
is
the
brightest
hope
we
have
to
develop
additional
trade
and
commerce
in
this
port,"
declared
Mr.
Stone.
With
the
territory
of
Alaska
calling
for
statehood
and
fighting
for
abrogation
jf
the
Jones
Act
so
that
Canadian
shipping
could
serve
the
territory,
(Mr.
Stone
said:
"It
is
up
to
all
of
us
to
get
belter
acquainted
and
keep
posted
on
the
needs
altd
problems
of
Alaska.
It
will
be
to
our
mutual
benefit
and
may
be
the
forerunner
of
larger
developments
to
come
to
this
northern
port."
