I
did
this
because
we
would
have
had
one
of
the
most
powerful
financial
groups
in
Canada
working
for
Prince
Rupert.
The
elector
turned
down
the
bylaw.
After
gome
years
of
municipal
operation
the
I'ity
sold
the
power
system
to
private
interests.
A
second
mistake
I
think.
I
would
advise
th
its
own
telephone
service
as
well
as
other
services.
A
private
corporation
had
been
given
the
right
lo
operate
a
telephone
service
in
Rupert
by
the
provincial
legislature.
The
domestic
water
supply
was
in
private
hands
and
power
rights
al;;o
given
to
corporate
interests.
Before

machinery
had
been
set
up
I
made
a
proposal
adopted
Dy

rcuperi
Rotary
Club
Tuesday
afternoon
as
its
primary
object
for
tha
coming
year.
The
project
was
approved
by
club
members
in
a
vote
involving
two
other
proposals.
Club
President
D.
C.
Stevenson
announced,
after
the
voting,
that
a
committee
would
be
formed
in
the
near
future
to
handle
the
park
development
project.
Proposed
by
P.
H.
Linzey,
the
Roosevelt
Park
plan
won
out
over
two
other
suggestions-financial
aid
to
worthy
and
needy
students
and
financial
assistance
to
the
Prince
Rupert
District
Boy
Scouts'
Association.
The
former
was
proposed
by
Aid.
Robert
McKay
and
the
Utter
by
F.
E.
Anfield.
All
three
members
spoke
briefly
in
support
of
their
projects.
A
number
of
other
projects
had
been
put
forward
in
a
canvass
among
the
members
but
were
cut
down
by
the
club
executive
to
these
above
three
which
were
put
to
a
club
vote.
In
speaking
to
his
proposal,
Mr.
Lindsay
pointed
out
that
the
project
would
be
carried
on
in
co-operation
with
the
city
and
the
civic

WITH
Rupert
three
years
ago
took
its
traditionally
named
Acropolis
Hill
and
renamed
it
Roosevelt
Park
in
honor
of
the
memory
of
the
great
man
vho?e
forces
manned
this
port
during
World
War
II.
We
warned
then
that,
while
the
most
was
being"
made
of
the
publicity
of
that
event,
there
should
be
acceptance
of
the
continuing
responsibility
of
making
and
maintaining
a
beautiful
shrine
which
would
be
a
credit
to
the
city;
and
a
lasting
honor
to
the
man
whose
name
was
memorialized.
But
what
has
Roosevelt
Park
become
a
dilapidated,
grass
overgrown
debris-strewn
barren,
such
as
to
actuate
the
now
famous
remark
of
a
tourist
who
saw
the
name
on
the
cairn
and
said:
"So
you
didn't
like
Roosevelt
either?"
But
all
that
should
be
ended
now.
The
Rotary
Club
yesterday
decided
to
adopt
the
beautifieation
of
Roosevelt
Park
as
its
primary
objective
for
the
coming
year.
We
congratulate
the
Rotary
Club
on
the
choic?
of
this
objective,
a
choice
which
had
to
lie
made
from
among
other
very
worthy
suggestions
which
it
is
to
be
hoped
will
find
other
sponsors.
Tha
.Rotarv
Club,
in
investing
the
money
this
year,
will,
doubtless,
take
steps
to
see
.
that
the
investment
is
protected
by
continued
maintenance,
either
by
its
own
undertaking
or
effective
guarantee.
Otherwise,
next
year
or
the
year
after
it
would
have
been
just
so
much
money
wasted.
It
will
now
be
"Rotary"
as
well
as
"Roosevelt"
Park
and
we
again
express
the
hope
that
it
will
be
a
lasting
credit,
rather
than
an
eyesore
stuck
on
the
height
of
land
which
is
Prince
Rupert's
best
panoramic
viewpoint
to
which
visitors,
especially,
climb
to
view
the
grand
scenic
prospect
there
af-forded.
