Be member for Langley, and Hon. W. ‘kinson, member for this riding, will be written urging some ac- tion regarding the resolution sent the government a short time ago by Sumas land owners to the effect that the pro- vincial pvernment be asked charge only dyking and maintenance costs to land purchasers during the present de- pression.

R. as the line is not of Canadian importance, and there- fore can do nothing about the closing of the station at Clayburn.
