Ed- itor Bruce McKelyle of the Colonist says: ‘Vancouver Island could maintain the present social services, pay off the Island's proportion of the public debt at the rate of a million dollars a year, spend an additional million dollars In public works, reduce taxation by three quarters of a million and still have a credit balance of $300,000." We are a much bigger and a more prosperous unit of population than Prince Edward Island at the other side of Canada” comments Comox Ar- gus, “And that tight little island came through the depression far better than any other part of Canada. It's worth thinking about.” . . Undoubtedly the province would Save an amount equal to the revenue received from the Island were govern- ment headquarters moved back to the original site—overlooking the Fraser River at New Westminster. Such an accessibility to the province at large could not but contribute to efficiency and economy, both in time and money in governmental operation. We cannot in this practical age afford the pretentious luxury of government- al administration from Victoria. And it wlil do the powers-that-be no harm to view from close vantage the oper- ation of such projects as the new toll bridge they so sanguinely forced upon the people.
