Abbotsford, as a border town situa-
ted upon a busy highway adjacent to
large cities, should not leave unpro-
tected its business section between the
hours of 11 p.m. and 5 a.m., as at pre-
ent. This was the opinion expressed
at the regular meeting of the Board
of Trade on Monday, and a committee
was named to enlist the assistance of
the Conservative Associations and the
Village Council to make representa-
tions to the B. C. Police department,
with a view to appointment of an ad-
ditional officer. Prevailing industrial
conditions and recent burglaries in the
district was deemed sufficient justifi-
cation for the request. .

Representing a group of the first
settlers on Sumas reclaimed lands,
Messrs, H. M. Ord and Menzies sought
the continued assistance of the Board
in an appeal to the government for

What we say to
©ur Employees

~ ERY public utility company needs the
z goodwill of the public before it can bring
the maximum benefits to the community. But
goodwill must be earned. It is essential that each
of us in the B, Op Electric Railway Company
> : render that alert, helpful and intelligent service
to our customers which is their due. Only so
shall we merit their goodwill.

What we say to

Our Customers

Wt need your goodwill but we realize that
goodwill results only from honest, effi-
cient and economical administration; from ser-
vice that is safe, certain and abundant for all
demands; from fair prices and rates; from

Pp who are king and

Public utility companies need only one rule: to
I serve the public well and truly.

‘Only on that basis does the B. C. Electric expect
the attitude of public mind towards it which
will enable it to progress with maximum benefit
to itself and its customers.

clause for such revision. Personal in-

of adjustments, it was reported, land-
owners appealing up to the present
upon moral grounds. Messrs. A. Camp-

requested to interview Mr. Dixon, and
obtain details of the government's at-

Condition of Riverside road and other
roads tributary to Abbotsford was
complained of, and Messrs. A. McCal-

of the Department of Public Works,
and municipal councils.

‘The Secretary reported that the Car-

School Trustee.

While much of this talk is too petty
to be worth while answering, yet in
fairness to my supporters and myself,
I wish to make the following state-
ment.

Previous to the school meeting I was
approached by a body of highly re-
spected residents of the Abbotsford
School district, with a request that I
be a candidate for School Trustee, and
when I consented to do so, I was fully
cognizant of the duties and respon~

It certainly was not my intention,
if elected, to use my position to form
a one-sided school board, as some of
my critics seem to think; nor am I in
the habit of allowing any person or
persons to dictate my actions to me.

Had I been elected, my first con-
sideration at all times- would have
been the welfare of the Abbotsford
school, backed by an honest endeavor
to co-operate with the other members
of the board in a fair and impartial
manner, showing preference to none.

Replies to Reeve Starr’s Letter
Editor, News:

I would like very briefly to reply to
Mr. Starr’s letter in your last issue.
In it, Mr. Starr states Mr. Day and
I are the only ratepayers taking any
part in the movement for his disquali-
fication on grounds of citizenship.
hink had the ratepayers under-
stood the real facts of the case and
the position it has placed the muni-
cipality in regard to damage sults, etc
they would have been just as active
as either Mr. Day or myself. Now, if
Mr. Starr did know he was not qual-

ly deceived and mislead his supporters
and if he did not know he should most
certainly have found out before seek-
ing office. For his nationality has
been questioned from time to time for
years. N6w I only ask was this the
right thing to do, to go on trying to
fill the important position he was try-
ing to fill without making sure where
he stood?

Apart from all this, I think that
just now above all other times, Sumas
municipality needs a very competent

Pete—“Can’t say as I have, Hank;
takes a mite of figgerin’ out which
side is telling the least tarrydiddles.”
Hank—“That’s jest what I say, but
you an’ me, being purty good neigh-
bours, should be able to approach the
subject cooly and without fear or
favour. That feller Dunning opened
my eyes, he did, telling about our en-
