DAILY EDITION. ees WEDNESDAY, JAN. 31! “BOOSTER” WHO DESERVES A WELCOME. Our readers learned from The Daily News of Monday that the| genial Sir George Doughty, accompanied by his son, will be here | shortly on his second visit to this port. He came here with the | President Hays party a year ago last fall, and since that time in| the large cities of the Dominion and in those of the Old Country| he has been one of the most able and persistent boosters Prince| Rupert has ever had. The one thing that impressed him most! during his visit here, and which he frankly expressed to the| representative of this newspaper (then known as The Optimist) | was the immensity of the undevloped fishing industry of this| port. This was natural, as Sir George has made fishing for the| | and a part, at least, of the fame of'| Grimsby, England, fish mart of the world, isl undoubtediy due to his well-directed energy and foresight. me has not only talked up the marvelous fish resources of this coast| adjacent to Prince Rupert for publication, speaking as a recog- nized authority on the subject, but he has himself his} faith in what he preached by embarking no less than one million | and a quarter dollars for himself and in a prs industry of which Prince Rupert will be the headquarters. Under these flattering circumstances Sir George can be assured of a most hearty welcome on the occasion of city. as the wholesale shown associates his second visit to this OUTSIDERS TO KNOW.

"| } | Simple though the question may be there are few of us who} can look into the future and answer the question with the confi-| dence of a seer. Rather it suggests other questions that spring} to the tip of the tongue eager for expression. What will the} traffic be in midsummer, when the line is in operation as far| as New Hazelton?

Still, there will undoubtedly be a lot of tourists this summer, Yet having decided upon all these points the main question is still unanswered—What will the traffie be when the main line is open clear through? The usual answer in such cases is: That will depend. Let it go at that. It will depend upon how well and widely all these things, and our natural resourees and our business openings and our industrial opportunities are advertised.

In this provinge there are two distinct authorities or jurisdic- tions which assess and collect taxes in real property, vlz the Government of the province and the municipalities The Provincial Government can assess and collect on the personal property and incomes of all per- sons in the province, and the taxes so collected form part of the consolidated revenues of the province, It has also reserved the right to tax all real prop- erty outside the boundaries of in- municipalities. have a corporated The municipalities right to assess and collect on all jreal property within their incor- }porated boundaries; the same are a part of the revenues of munici- | palities, and each municipality |has separate and exclusive juris idiction over such; and = no re- jheene of such are made to the rovingius government. For purposes of provincial taxation, all real property is di- vided into two classes: 1. Real i.e., improved) property; 2. wild land i.e., unimproved When assessment is made on limproved property, the owner is |not asked to state the value of the land and the value of the im- provements separately. The tax |imposed on improved land at pre- lsent is three-fifths of one per cent. on the assessed value (i.e., /on the actual present cash value | Wild assessed alt land is also lits present cash value, and that may be anything from $1.00 up. Timber and coal lands vary from $10.00 to $25.00. The wild land tax was introduced in 1873, and no serious objections have ever been raised to it It has tended to be a preventative against spec ulation in land. The subjects of provincial tax- ation in this province under the Assessment Act are: 1. Land including improvements 2 Wild lands; 38. Goal lands; 4. Timber lands; 5. Personal pro perty; 6. Income; 7, Mines and minerals; 8. Unworked crown granted mineral claims; 9. Crown lands for which Crown grants have not been issued, but which are held under pre-emption, lease or agreement; 10.
