Who is to Blame for the Waterfront Fiasco?

 

 

DAILY Epiiion.

 

There is one last question which might be asked in connection
with the assessment problem, ‘‘Who is to blame for the waterfront
fiasco?”’

 

Although none of the negotiators, and few of the citizens perceive
it very clearly as yet, the whole fight in the assessment dispute raged
round the question of the waterfront. If the railway company could
hold it idle until after the line is built, its leases will be worth many
times over what they would bring today. If equitable taxation were
exacted, then it would have forced the railway company to sell or
lease a little of it to carry the remainder, and the city would have
had a permanent payroll from factories and mills on the waterfront.
By having the city’s representatives agree to a lump tax of $15,000
a year, and making this tax cover properties of the development
company already assessed to pay over $9,900 taxes, the company man-
ages to retain its grip on the waterfront for a paltry $5,000 a year. It
is safe to say that no leases will be given until after the line is completed.

How little some of the negotiators were qualified for their work
hag been shown not only in their agreement, which is riddled with
loopholes, but also in their comments since the agreement was made.
Even an alderman who recently brought the council to its knees by
his threat of having other means to make himself heard, never used
those other means to enlighten the public about the economics of
the dispute. His only published reference on the matter, apart even
from its pitiful childishness of tone, betrays the incompetence and
ignorance of the writer. There was only one man on the council whose
training and ability fitted him to qualify as a negotiator, and from
all accounts he was content to sit back and let his colleagues go ahead.

 

There is no suggestion of blame intended to apply to the members
of the council. They were the people’s choice. The work was forced
on them. There was no strong and enlightened public sentiment
to back them up. Undoubtedly they did the best they could. And
they were sincerely of the opinion that the settlement they made
was a good one for the city.

It was a hopeless task to take any heterogeneous body of men—
a capable carpenter, a qualified dentist, a country editor, an excellent
haberdasher, a good butcher—and set them up against a company
of clever railroad chiefs and corporation lawyers, to’debate a question
of economics. The blame neither now nor in the future, can fairly
be laid to them.

And even the most splendid leadership would have been handi-

capped unless it had strong and united backing from the citizens.

t The blame goes much further back than January 14th, 1911.
It antedates incorporation. It goes back to the time when the original
plan of the townsite of Prince Rupert was filed with the Provincial
Government at Victoria; before most of us ever knew for a fact that
the G. T. P. terminal was to be located on Kaien Island.

Though none of us were citizens of Prince Rupert then, the
Provincial Government had a sacred trust to protect the interests
of the future citizens of the town whose plans were then in preparation.

One of those duties was to see that the citizens were not so situated
that they would become the prey of corporations and monopolists.

How well they kept that trust is seen by the fact that the
Provincial Government and the Grand Trunk Pacific divided
up the whole of Prince Rupert's waterfront between them. As
a consequence, not a stick of timber, nor a sack of potatoes, nor a
loaf of bread can enter Prince Rupert without paying tribute to the
Grand Trunk Pacific. With standing timber all round us, with every-
thing, even to our streets constructed of lumber, and with a need
for a permanent payroll in the city, we are obliged to import every
foot of lumber, and pay tribute to the Grand Trunk for bringing it
into the city over their water-frontage.

Contracts for millions of feet of lumber that could have been
filled here, and would have given employment to hundreds of men,
have been sent—many of them by the G. T, P.—to the mills of
Washington, U.S. A. Why have we no saw mill on the waterfront?

Perhaps nothing could have saved the situation in the assessment
dispute, and in other difficulties which have arisen and which will
arise, save the taking away of the reins of municipal government
out of politics and out of the hands of the butcher, the baker and
the candlestick-maker, and vesting that authority in the hands of
a commission of skilled municipal experts. A commission, composed
of a skilled engineer with ample authority, an expert financier, and
an expert business organiser, would have saved the city thousands
of dollars and much bickering. It was the same Provincial Govern-
ment that ran its pen through the city’s demand for power
to create a civic commission.

“It is unusual, and a new thing,” said Mr. Bowser, as he murdered
the people’s charter.

It was the same Provincial Government that denied to Prince
Rupert citizens the right of the Initiative, the Referendum and the
Recall.

As the author of the city's troubles, the Provincial Government
of British Columbia, should not be overlooked.

LIVE DOINGS ON’
THE WATERFRONT

Rush of Passenger Traffic from
' Three Steamers, Special Tra-
in. Rupert, City of Seattle,
Princess May and Vadso.
Whether it was because C. M.
Hays was here or not the scene
at the waterfront Thursday night
vas quite the busiest ever in
Rupert this season. There was
the Prince Rupert there of course,
and beside her lay the City of
Seattle with a throng of north-
bound passengers who streamed
ashore for a spell ‘‘to see the
sights.” Centre street was al-
ready crowded with passengers
to and fro when the C. P. R. SS.
Princess May arrived with a big
crowd for Prince Rupert, and full
list for the North. Three big
passenger steamers occupied berths
close by one another at the wharf,
but while the traffic was busiest
the Vadso also steamed into the
harbor and berthed by the other
boats.

Just at the height of this festival
of waterfront, liveliness in steamed
President Hays’s special train from
up river passing over™the busy
level crossing at Cerntre street
with clanging bell, and pulling
up in metropolitan style a step
or two from the City of Seattle.
If the merry ladies and gentlemen
from the States were not duly
impressed by the stir and bustle
revealed to them by their. visit
to Rupert they must be. classed
with the dumb emotionless green
stuff that also comes from Seattle.

CLEAR THE RESERVE

Orders Given to have the Whole
Space Vacated in a Week or so

 

Squatters on the G. T. P.
reserve will have to find other
quarters. President Hays told
Alderman Morrissey last night

that orders have been given for
the reserve to be cleared, and
that it will be entjrely unoccupied
in about a week. The houses are
destroyed as soon as the tenants
and their belongings are out of
them.

 

EXTEND WATER SUPPLY

G. T. P. Engineer will See about
Morse Creek Dams for City

Asked by the Mayor last night
about the proposed extension of
Morse Creek Dams in order that
a further supply of water may be
obtained for the city Mr. Hays
said that he would be very glad
to allow permission for this, but
the matter must pass through
the hands of the company’s en-
gineer who will advise the city
about it on his arrival in a Leek or
sO.

“The Gaiety of Faith’’ will be
the subject of Rev. Warren H.
McLeod’s sermon at the Baptist
church tomorrow evening. Service
commences at 7.30 p.m. You are
cordially invited to hear Rev.
McLeod's discussion of this unique
theme. Mr. John E. Davey,
organist and choirmaster. Church
