The bricklayers of Vancouver have de-| - manded 50 cents an hour, and seem de- termined to get itor quit work. They wsay Seattle is paying 60 cents.an hour, and that their demands are reasonable and that they will have it or inaugurate). | astrike. As $4.60 aday is leas.than is|’ peing paid bricklayers anywhere in the West, it. seems only, reasonable that .contractora. in a prosperons..city like Vaucouver could afford to pay that wage. ‘The Recozp wishes success to the brick-| | layers.

Norman. secretary ‘of the Ross- Jand Water & Light company, on the 15th of this month, delivered the follow- ing letter to Alderman Clute, ‘which he filed with the city clerk: My Dear tie: told the council in our recent informal discussion of the ater question that our company wag {oliy alive to the requirements of the simation, and that we should have car- ried out a larger expansion of the plant, jrom time to time, hut for the fear that any investment we might be disposed to nake would be. impaired by’ tounicipal competition or municipal hostility ; that when we had sought to improve the ser- yice ag in the case of our application to the city council for sanction. under the Water Clauses act for right to: augment our present water, supply, by. the div- erion of Rock creek, we“ were opposed |. by the council; and thongh this. was more than 18 months ago, the situation today ig much as it was, at that time. Un that jon, ag_now, we were met with the intimation that we must sell outor suffer the* throes of municipal competion. We made our price then,, as we have made it now; our books are open to ingpt ction at any time to ascer- tain if that price is reagonable,-an arbi tration on the basis of our.gontract was offered then ag it is offered now; and if the governing body is co éertuin that the price we have asked is unreasanabdle, it sately has nothing to feat from the re- volts of that arbitration, and, for our partwe have always been willing to sand by it, believing that the price at which we have offered to sell, would ut least be sustained on such ah arbitra- tion. In this connection: you must ad-| ait that the position we tuke is reason- able, and that it is hardly “fair for. the governing body—the would-be pur- chager—to appear in the dual capacity of purchaser and the arbiter of what the p:tchase price shall be. We realize fully t at the matter ought to be brought.to a hend ag speedy us possible, zo that ex- tensiona to the plant could be completed before the enmmer drought; and recog- nizing that ia would be the heignt of tully for the city as well as ourselves to Ue engaged in a busines in which there is only a living for one, it bas occurred THE CRESCENT DRY GOODS COMPANY, LIM 'bD) MENS GOODS.

Our company will constiuct a storage reservoir in the mountaing in the vicinity of our point of diversion on Stoney creek, having a capacity of at least a million gallone. Pe 2, We will bring in water from Rock or Murphy into Stoney creek watershed, thas augmenting Stoney creek as per Plans previously furnished ; or, install a pusping plant below our present grav- ity flume line and elevate the eccumula- tion of water in the lower level of Stoney creek into our existing pipe line, should the natural flowage of the creek at any time be insu ficient for the needs of the and this would give usa water plant far in eqpess of the needs of Roseland of to- ° ay.
