Ottawa Pri ince Rupert will be best ser rved if ‘yes” is-the - answer to both. If the proposed new museum fails to get the nec- essary support, it is very likely that Prince ‘Rupert will go without a centennial project for B.C.’s gala year of 1958. Time for making plans is running out and it would be virtually impossible to find an alter- native scheme that would fit’in so well with the in- tention of the anniversary celebration. A few persons have contended that a museum is nota sufficiently useful undertaking to warrant the - expense and they point to the city’s need for move sewers, street repairs.and so on. Admittedly Prince Rupert needs these things and they. are -bound to come in the course of events. But let’s not be so un- imaginative that we. celebrate the province’s 100th auniversar y by building a sewer. | \ * There is probably no city in B.C. with a history nfpre colorful than Prince Rupert’s to commemorate of this occasion. . The influence of native culture and tle evidence of pioneering vision still remain in pos- . sibly greater degree than anywhere else in the pro- vince, so let’s not fall into the trap of believing that : we have nothing to boast about. There is no more ef- fective way to retain and display the proof of past agcomplishments than to establish a good museum. If there are those who believe such a project is not udeful, we might ask if education is not useful. In: tHis case, at-a cost of about 20.cents.a month per tax- payer for no more than five years, it is also cheap. a Let’s make sure we do not fail to get this valu- alle asset for the city. .£ There*should’ be no confusion « over wheré the 8 pfoposed swimiming-pool comes into the picture. his is not being suggested as an alternate centen- | nfl project. “In fact, it cannot’ be just so long as its Such an axvangement would prevent it from receiving the ap- proval of the provincial government.as an undertak- eee De oe ee ee. ee ae ing for which it is prepar ed to make a. grant. of finds. e Our choice does not lie in having one pr oject or thie other.

Because of the financial contributions vglunteer labor that generously have ‘been made agailable, the $250,000 swimming-pvol will cost con- siglerably less than half that to the taxpayers.” tyrn, the public will have a'vecreational facility that wall undoubtedly prove to he one of the most popular aftractions in the city. - * ‘This question also calls for vete. fay children and adults alike, ’ * With reference to the third question on whether tq reduce the size of city council, there seems to he vyowing reason for doing so. The office of clerk- cémptroller has increased steadily in importance in récent years, and now with the appointment of a special assistant that tendency is likely to become more pronounced. The natural assumption is that a strong affirmative the work required of aldermen will be reduced ac-. cordingly und that the time is at hand when we ean dgcrease the size of council] to six members, as pre- sdribed by the new Municipal Act, from the present eight.

Now that voting day is only one day away, let’s review some of the questions which have been asked most frequently, QUESTION: By how much will my taxes be increased if the money by-law is passed? ANSWER: By 1.4 per cent ot your present taxes. For example, if you now pay $140 per year in property taxes the increase will be only $1.96 cents per year, or about 16 cents per month. QUESTION: Will there ‘be enough volunteer labor to com- plete the joh? =, ANSWER: Yes. As of today, the swimming pool com- mittee has received pledge cards from 343 people. It is diffientt to estimate the number of work- ing hours represented by these cards because so many people have stated that they will work as many‘hours as are needed ta Jcomplete. the. job, However, the response has been ‘excellent and! dt Is evident that there will be sufficient volunteer Jabar to construct the pool, QUESTION: When will con- struction start if the by-law ts passed?
