Thain has Just finished reading a letter from Inspector F B. Woods-Johnson , outlining reasoiia for the necessity of a twelve man force to patrol Prince Rupert. Alderman Casey hotly oppos- d the additional cost to the ct-i's expenditure pointing out the city had other costs to meet such as exten lions to Fair-view cemetery, gravelling and paving of streets, the sewer and water system and others "that are .staring; us In the face." He stated Prince Rupert is not worse olf than any other community In British Columbia, citing spots such as Rossland, with a third of our popiUation and about a third ol our police force. Trail with 10 police and approximately the same popula tion as Prince Rupert and Nan- tdmo, half of this city's population and half the amount of police as compared to Prince Rupert.. "We should exercise jurisdiction over our domain and not receive orders from the police force, the Alderman thought. Alderman Black explained the 1 men ou the force have been putting in a - considerable mount of overtime and are usually on duty -during day-olf i periods. He pointed out Prince Kupert is experiencing a greater ! tr;,si;,ient population and, re- UrtUibly some pi these are not law-abiding and satisfactory citizens... The recommendation Out the '.HO Police -contract, be -ac- n ?. t-ed on the basis of twelve men was presente.J by the Health, Social A.si.tar.co Police and Licensing committee and finally adopted."

L. A. who spoke to members of city council Monday nijht. Mr. McP.ac was invited by the Mayor so that members of council cduld put before him any proposals irom here regarding the provincial government. Prince Rupert has nevor before experienced competition the M. L. A. said. He reminded the body a permanent population will be employed 12 miles from the city and It will be up to Prince Rupert to see that every employee settles and does business here. Competition will come from Port Edward and, as the Columbia Cellulose Co. Is not constructing a company town. It is up to the people to make the city attractive to newcomers. - . ; , Speaking of the Federal-Pro vincial housing scheme Mr. McRae promised his utmost assistance in the matter. The council asked the MX.A. to look into the sales tax matter. Although municipalities are receiving some of the three per cent sales tax, the provincial , government ls , claiming the lion's share. Alderman T. B. Black explained that, when the sales tax was put Into effect at the request of B. C. municipalities, the provincial government only expected $3,000,000 of the to tal Income. But at present they are receiving . $26,0uQ,M- ndr , therefore, municipalities should demand an Increase In their an mtaf portion. - . , ; In the Dimout Prince Rupert Is Taking It Housewives Compare Notes Business as Usual Industry Carries On lii the current period of restrictions on electrical power aupplj Prince Rupert housewives are not complaining a great deal apart from comparing notes and conjuring up how people in one part of the city might be getting a bet- ter deal than those In another in tne distribution of the staggered hours.
