Installations ' No definite interest having, apparently, been shown In retaining them for useful purposes, the large warehouse and administration building established by the United States Army on the local waterfront during the war are threatened with early demolition. Advised to this effect by E. T. Applc-uhaite, M P.-eleck for Skeena, the council of the Prince Rupert Chamber of Commerce went Into special session yesterday afternoon and decided to make a last ditch stand to save at least the administration building. Rt. Hon. C. D..Howe, minister of trade and commerce, and War Assets Corporation will be j asked to defer any move1 towards disposal by demolition until the possibility of having' the administration building put to use in some way in relieving ; the local housing shortage or for other practical purpose is completely exhausted. The Chamber of Commerce, until receiving yesterday's notification, had understood that negotiations were going on with War Assets for purchase of the administration , building with a view to converting it Into an apartment building. A letter from Mr. Howe stated that "there is no interest by any one in the purchase of these properties (warehouse and administration building . We have advertised the administration building but did not receive any offers. ."Representations were made to the Canadian National Railways which, it was hoped, would lead to their taking over the warehouse but the C.N.R. have no interest in doing so." The Clmmber was advised that the wooden buildings, subject to rapid deterioration while unoccupied, were costing War Assets the sum of $8,700 for maintenance and security. V would appear that demolition appeared to be- the only logical procedure. Hon. Brooke Claxton, minister of national defence, also favored demolition, the correspondence said.
