to be entitled under and by

Act" and the By-laws of the
City of Prince Rupert to have
granted to him a renewal of the
liquor license held by him for the
Savoy Hotel from the 17th day

Agreeing thet an ambulance

to perfect the efficiency of Prince
Rupert’s General Hospital, the
Hospital Board last night decided
to refer the matter to the Exe-
cutive Committee who will con-
sider the cost of the vehicle, and
upkeep. Meahwhile the cheque
for $500 donated by the G. T. P.
Railway Co. has been handed
over by Dr. Eggert, and it is now
up to the citizens to subscribe the
further amount necessary, about
$500.

Auto-ambulance Favored

President D. G. Stewart is in-
clined to favor the purchase of an
auto-ambulance. Mayor Manson
has been considering a system by
wich the city will employ an
understudy for the fire depart-
ment’s chauffeur, who will be
available for ambulance service
at any time. Probably the auto-
ambulance wiil be housed beside
the fire brigade auto.

Some little time has elapsed
since Mr. Arthur Cuthbert ten-

Nothing further was done in

connection with the idea that

thought advisable to make voting
power a prerogative of all Hon
Presidents of the Board.

DISCUSSES IMMIGRATION

They Re-affirm Resolution

(Canadian Press Despatch)
London, June 10.—At the Im-
perial Conference today Premier
Fisher moved for the reaffirmation

British emigrants to proceed to
British Colonies rather than to
foreign countries and that the
Imperial Government co-operate
with any colonies desiring emi-
grants, to assist in selecting suitable
persons.

John Burns said that since the
last confereice the object of the

 

resolution had been to a great
extent secured. If the rate for
the first four months of 1911

continued for the whole year the
tota) emigrants from Gtrea Britain

 

of Four Years Ago, Where-

by the Home Authorities Pledge Themselves
to Aid in Selecting Suitable Persons

to all countries would amount
to 300,000 of whom eighty per
cent weuld go to different parts
of the Empire.

Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that
Mr. Burns's statement appeared
to him to be quite satisfactory.

The resolution slightly amended,

unanimously passed the Conference
