As

the

resolved
to

would

At
the
suggestion
of
C.
G.
Ham,
it
was
also
decided
to
explore
the
possibility
of
having
new
vessels
for
the
Department
of
Marine,
construction
of
which
was
projected,
built
at
Prince
Rupert.
In
the
course
of
a
discussion
on
industrial
prospects
.generally
at
Prince

it
was
revealed
that
two
eastern
concerns
were
angling
for
the
privilege
of
es
tabllshing
a
pulp
mill
at
Prince

The
Industrial

committee
was
getting
out
information
in
regard
to

which
was
requested
from

Document

The
Cameron
report
on
educational
costs
was
discussed
at
regular
meeting
of
the
Prince
Rupert
and
District
Teachers'
Association
this
week
and
Is
being
further
studied
by
members
subsequent
to
the
meeting.
With
respect
to
the
widespread
reports
carried
In
the
press
and
over
the
radio
to
the
effect
that
teachers'
minimum
salaries
were
be
cut,
it
was
pointed
out
that
Cameron
report
did
not
call
for
the
reduction
of
teach
er's
minimum
salaries
and.
that
the
reports
to
that
effect
were
comoletely
false.
What
the
Cameron
report
does
Is
to
recommend
a
new
system,
of
making
grants
from
the
provincial
government
to
local
school
boards.
School
boards
have
to
pay
certain
specified
salaries
to
qualify
for
these
grants
and
the
grant
syit'e'in
proposed
by
the
Cameron
Commission
at
first
study
"would
seem
to
be
a
tremendous
lm
provement
over
the
old
system
because
for
the
first
time
it
would
commit
the
provincial
government
to
make
a
financial
provision
to
cover
the
buTfcorthe
cost
of
paying
of
a
large
number
of
increments
by
local
boards.
The
teachers
were
generally
of
the
opinion
that
the

would
