What is necessary at the present time is to keep all public expenses down to a minimum, in order that the unemployed may be fed. and also that our cltteens will be able to meet tax bills and keen their homes out of the tax sale.

The letter would also Indicate that there Is not co-operation between the school board and the council. This certainly Is to be regretted.

Every citizen who has tre welfare of Prince Rupert at heart should canvas his school trusleemjid council friend and Impress upon him the necessity of getting together and having these matters straightened out and both school and city expenses reduced to a minimum, that will enable the city council to strike a mill rate that will not bankrupt most of us, and without resorting to an "Improvement Tax" as, apparently, unless further reductions are made, this is Inevitable, and it will be a sorry day for Prince Rupert if it is ever instituted.
