pert
no
catastrophe
to
wipe
out
the
city
and
its
services
and
appurtenances.
Yet,
from
the
standpoint
of
our
municipal
equipment,
we
are
none
the
less
decaying
and
disintegrating.
We
might
as
well
lie
honest
and
realistic
about
it,
even
if
it
may
not
be
particularly
good
publicity.
Streets
are
dilapidated
and'
nigh
impassable,
sidewalks
in
many
parts
of
the
city
are
unwalkable
or
non-existent,
sewers
are
broken
down
and
odoriferous,
schools
are
dangerous
and
dilapidated,
telephones
are
obsolete,
uncertain
and
inadequate.
Last
week's
storm
pointed
up
to
the
weakness
of
some
of
our
municipal
services
and
gave
us
some
cause
for
reflection.
It
made
us
think
that
it
is
high
time
if
not
long
overdue
that
something
effective
was
being
done
about
it
all.
The
situation
is
reaching
a
state
of
emergency
through
age,
decrepitude
and
obsolescence
just
as
much
as
if
there
should
have
been
sudden
and
widespread
disaster.
The,
position
has
been
reached
where
tinkering
and
patching
up
the
old
machine
will
no
longer
do
It
looks
like
Prince
Rupert
will
have
to
start
from
scratch
again
with
large
scale
and
long-range
planning
which,
of
course,
involves
a
new
idea
of
financing.
,
Certain
it
seems
that
there
shall
have
to
be
some
new
and
drastic
outlook
and
view
of
things
since
what
we
are
doing
now
and
have
been
doing
for
some
time
hac,
apparently,
been
ineffectual
in
even
staging
the
4ii'ogTess
of
deterioration.
If
we
are
to
keep;
Prince
Rupert
a
habitable
city,
much
less
a
creditable
one,
we
are
going
to
have
to
do
things
in
a
big-ger
and
more
expansive
way.
The
industrial
development
which
is
now
under
way
demands
that
we
be
something
more
than
an
unkempt
and
broken-down
community
such
as
this
is
today
particularly
from
the
municipal
standpoint.
Maybe
there
will
have
to
he
some
drastic
changes
in
our
outmoded
ideas
and
ways
of
doing
things.
'
But
something
is
going
to
have
to
be
done
about
it.
There
will
have
to
be
a
new
deal
somehow
or
other.
We
only
regret
that,
like
the
rest
of
people
werealae
all
the
needs
but,
in
the
perplexity
of
their
mass
and
magnitude,
it
js
a
little
difficult
to
perceive
the
way
of
going
about
things.
Maybe
that
is
because
we
are
all
so
loath
to
change
our
views
about
the
mechanics
of
getting
things
done.
The
easy
thing
to
do
is
blame
those
who
have
bee;i
in
charge
of
affairs
the
early
city
fathers
with
their
big
ideas
and
extravagances,
'the
petty
politics
in
the
days
of
adversity,
the
commis-siojerships
with
their
supertbrift
and
economies
and
the
later
perplexed
regimes
with
their
inability
to
jneet
the
fast
deteriorating
conditions.
After
all,,
who
of
us
would
have
done
any
better?
And
how
many
of
us
are
more
prone
to
criticize
than
do
anything
to
be
actually
helpful
?
.The
present
state
of
affairs
is
but
the
natural
result
of
the
vicissitudes
through
which
we
have
been
passing
from
those
days
forty
years
ago
when
wtslaid
our
plans
for
an
immediate
large
and
thriving
community
only
to
be
frustrated
by
a
variety
of
unfortunate
and
untimely
circumstances.
The
whole
scene
has
changed
today,
yet
we
still
have
the
foundations
even
if
it
seems,
in
our
municipal
develop-merit,
we
almost
have
to
start
from
scratch
again.
J3uilding
Prince
Rupert
from
here
on
is
going
to
be
a
big
job
but
it
is
a
job
that
must
be
faced
up
if
vi
e
are
going
to
continue
to
live
comfortably
and
modernly,
not
merely
existing,
here.
With
confidence,
courage,
ingenuity
and
vision,
ways
and
means
wihbe
found
of
doing
the
job.
But
it
will
require
the
best
of
our
talents,
the
utmost
of
our
service
and
above
all,
mutual
helpfulness
and
co-operation
with
theUong-range
goal
in
view.
It
is
time
for
all
to
putthe
best
foot
forward
and
give
of
our
time
and
ouivtalents
in
the
building
up
of
a
better
community.
It
is
no
time
to
be
indifferent
or
carpingly
critical
Te
be
either
is
only
slowing
up
the
wheels
of
progress
This
is
a
job
for
all
and
not
just
something
to
talk
about
what
the
other
fellow
should
do
