One would authorize the sale to the Canadian Legion eor its assessed value of property on Third Avenue on which the old building stands. The other is for tax exemption on the portion of waterfront property where the new building is located. The Third Avenue lot was originally sold to trustees of the Great War Veterans' Association for one dollar with the proviso that the property revert to the city when it ceased to be used solely by the Great War Veterans' Association. The association was succeeded by the Canadian Legion. In the meantime, the association has erected a building on the property. The bylaw is to fell outright to the Canadian Leeion the property it has owned for many years with the proviso and which is now leased to a business concern. The second bylaw is to exempt from taxation the site of the new building. When the property was bought from War Assets Corporation, the Legion was obliged to buy three and one-quarter acres.

If the bylaw is passed, the remainder of the property will still be taxed. That portion of the property that will be taxed is larger than the portion for which exemption is asked. For-merly owned by Canadian National Railways, during the war it was taken over by the Department of .National Defence and subsequently War Assets. Until purchased by the Canadian Legion it was completely tax exempt. The Legion is asking sympathetic consideration for the bylaws which will doubtless be given. PRESUMPTUOUS IRRITATION THE District Post Office inspector has sent a letter to. the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce irt response to a request that the lock box lobby at the local post office be kept "open on the evenings of statutory holidays, saying that the present holiday, hours from 8 am. to 6 p.m. are adequate for the requirements of the patrons of the Prince Rupert Post Office. We think that the District Post Office inspector has .taken a rather arbitrary and presumptuous stand. The people of Prince 'Rupert, we believe, should be the judges of what is adequate in this matter, instead of a public servant telling us what we need or do not need. The Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce should at least be given the credit of intelligence when it makes requests of this sort without being virtually told that it does not know what it is talking about or what it wants. The Daily News takes issue with Mr. McLean, the District Post Office inspector, that the 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. period for statutory holidays is adequate for the requirements of the public here. For one thing, the air mail is delivered here late on the afternoons of statutory holidays as on other days. If it is worthwhile to deliver mail from Vancouver in six hours or so, it would seem ridiculous to hold it up overnight in the Post Office. The purpose of the lock boxes, for which the holders pay rental, is to make available mail that would, otherwise, be held up if it went through the ordinary general delivery distribution. To lock the public out of the box section on these few hours on holiday evenings to say the least of it seems arbitrary and unnecessary. The Chamber of Commerce saw fit to make this very reasonable request. We would now suggest that the Chamber refuse to take "no" for an answer and continue efforts to get satisfaction. call "comic relief." But there was mire to the "be1" bottle" reference than appear at first glance. Last year tr Britain I had a lot of fun delvlrr into the story of Britain's Home Guard.
