Edward
Hon.
E.
T.
Kenney,
minister
of
lands
and
forests,
informed
the
Prince
Rupert
Chamber
of
Commerce,
in
a
letter
Monday
night,
thai
he
was,
not
inclined
to
let
progress
and
operations
of
the
Department
of
Lands
be
"lmld
back
by
the
tempo"
of
the
department,
of

works.
Mr.
Kenney
was
replying
to
a
communication
from
the
Chamber
that
marketing
of
a
resur-veyed
townsite
at
Port
Edward
he
deferred
until
the
highway
be
tween
Prince
Rupert
and
Port
Edward
was
put
in
shape.
The
Chamber
had
feared
that,
if
the
towmite
w;is
marketed
now,
jieo-ple
might
be
induced
to
buy
properly
al
Port-

and
make
homes
there
Instead
of
Prince
Rupert
in
view
of
cuireut
unfavorable
conditions
for
highway
traffic
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Port
Edward
which
was
in
course
of
being
rectified.
Mr.
Kenney
said
he
would
be
glad
to
give
serious
consideration
to
the
request
but
to
do
so
might
he
nuTatr

people
who
desired

In
