On the 31st of Aunnst, iSS.S, the Dipnty Minister of Marine hy appointment met the lioard of Tr.ide and others in this city, and on th.it occasion your sec- retary had the honor to ])r(.sei.l a statement coverin;.^ the i)roceedini^s u]) to that time, from which the followiiij.^ facts are taken; In I'ehrn- ary, iSSS, Mr. John Hendry, m:iuaj.(er of the Royal City rianinj.^ Mills Co., w.is in .San I'raucisco i'iideav()riiij.i to chartt-r some vessels to load luni')er at the comiiany's nills in this city. ( )ne of the chief obstacles which met him was the ahseiice of reliable buoys ami l)eacons to mark the river eh.iniiel, and the ab.seiice of any authorized cliart showing the depth of water. Mr. Ilemlry recpiestcd the Hoard of Trade to do all it could to liave these thin.ns sui)])lied. The Hoard did so, but found the umlertakiiiff lari^er than had been e\]>ected. .\ letter was addressed to Mr. Hole, M. I'. I*., then in Victoria, retpiestiuj.^ him to see Cai)tain Lewis, Aj^ent of Marine, and have the necessary buoys placed at once. ]\Ir. lU)le replied as follows: "Captain Lewis told me nothinjf could be done till after the 15th March about i)lacin,n spar buoys on the sandbanks of I'raser Kiver between the month and New Westminster.

" !Mr. W. 11. nij,f!.^ins, re])reseiilin^ an Ilasteiu firm who i)roit<>sed lo erect a lar^e sawmill here, stated that the location depended on the navi^^atiim of the river, iitid su)4^esteil that tlu city should at onci procure ■■in accurate survey of the chaniii'l and a chart \\hicli should he ])laced in the principal ship hrokinj^i ofHcts for iuforuialiou of vessel >iwners. On March Kjth a iiieinorial was sent to the .Mii;i>.ler of I'uhlic Works, from v\hicli the followinj,; are extracts: " I. Thai the hraser is the most important river on the Cauailian I'.icific Coast, jieini; easy of access and ruuninj^ throu}.(h the heart of the ricliesl and most po])ulous ]);irt of Mritish Ci>liimhia.

"2. 'I'h.it the industries above noted would all l)e L^reatly stimu- lated and materiallx benefitted by havint; the mouth of I'raser River so inijirovi'd as to admit freely vessels of deep draui^hl. The operations t)f our luml)er mills ha\e hithert(! been confined almost entirely to the home market, while their capacity and the sources of siip])ly are such as would enable them, iiiuhr other circumstances, to do a lart^e e>:])ort trade. Xe<.rotiations Imvc for a \ou^ time been carried on with a view to induciii!^ lumber vessels to take charters for this harbor, but these nei^otiations have hitherto failed on the sole t^rouii I that the condition of th.e ri\er iiavii^ation was not satisfactory ^o ship owners and shi]) masters, and the interests of this city riiid district had suffered accordin.Lii'ly. "3. That in view of the lart^e interests involved, and the fact that the local ii)n of the i)roposed new mills is contin.^X'nt upon the ability of sea-t;i)ini^ vessels to reach them v.ith reasonable s;ii"ety and con- venience, your memorialists deem it to be of the utmost imj)ortance that your Ljovernment should make an appropriation sufficient for the purpose indicated. "4. That the sum of jJro.orKi set down in the estimates this year for imjirovements to the i'Yaser River is entirely insntlicient, inasmuch as it will not j^rovide for carryin.Lt the work forward so as to make the river ava.ilable for the class of vessels required. Your memorialists have good reason to helie\e that if an additional sum of #50,000 is placed in the sujiplementary estimates for this ]nir])ose, the river could be so im]n-oved this season as to make it cpiite safe and easy of access for vessels drawinin' from twenty to twi'iity-five feet. The plea for uri^ency is based on the fact tlirit if steps are not taken to make the river navi,i.';able this season, the lar^e benefits ex])ected to come from the establishment of tlie proposed mill may be lost forever. "5. Your memorialists respectfully call attention to the acconi- ])anyiii,ii resolutions ami charts, from which it will be s( en, (i), that the views they hold respecting the importance of the work are cor- dially endorsed by other rei)resentative bodies competent to judge of the circumstances; (2), that the work already done has materially im- proved the channel, and only re.juires to be carried on to completion. The channel shows a greater depth of water than before the works I A lart,^' flnii •tidii of iifw )ni loo.fXK) to iroiij^ri, wliich iciillura] (lis- ■ itc'd at about ■eatly stiimi- iiscr Kivfiso f oiK-rations tirc'Iy to tin- ])ly are such lari^rt- exjjort with a view T. hut these K' condition ■rs aii>ugh. I:i consequence of this notice considerable diffi- culty was experienced in inducing the Camana to come up the river. She did come, however, and arrived here on the 18th June in charge of Pilot ^McAlister, who found no trouble with the channel. On the :(itli June another letter was sent to the Minister of IMarine protesting against the unfairness of the reports made by Capt. Lewis and urging the neeii her way to i newspapers Iter at h. \\\ t entrance to lerabJe diffi- ip the river, ill charge of -r of Marine -apt. Ivcwis •"id a chart :ietern;iiied iiigs taken, Lewis to be t;iigaged to ■ an;l Capt. i'le gauges '^ spent in Julv, Mr. - 1^, in the Ji — II — Irack of shipi)ing, a (lei)lh of thirteen and a (juarter feet '-fivc feet." It will be noticed that these careful soundings l)y a (jualified engineer showed results maleriall}- different from the reports of Capt. Lewis. The Board sent Mr. .\lex. Lweii in Victoria for the ]>urpose of obtaining some infor- mation res])ecting the channel and the buoys, and when he returned he reported that Capt. Lewis had stated to him that he l)elieved there was iiHjre water in the channel than he had mentioned in liis re])orts, but it was not judicious to re])ort more than seven or eight feet, as it was better to be under than over the mark. Mr. John Ilendry, Presi- dent of the Board, repf>rted that Capt. Lewis had made a similar remark to him. It would seem, therefore, that Capt. Lewis did not re]K)rt the true depth of water, but discounted it for some reasoi: nhich the B<^aril could not comprehend. Having related these circumstances, the statement read to the I)e])uly Tvlinister at th;>t memorable inti-'rviev.-, conclnded as follows : ■■ Tlie Board has frequently asked for some official chart or statement, showing the actual condition of the channel, which C(vald be laid before I ^ -"* — 12 — shippers so as to satisfy tlu>m of the iiaviffability of the river for vessels of moderate draught, and enable niillowners to secure charters. But hitherto tliis request has not been complied with. Capt. Lewis reported to the Minister of Marine on the i ith July that he did not see the need of a chart, and the Minister of Marine assures the Board that the admiralty charts are 'j^enerally reliable.' I'or the navigation of the sandheads the admiralty charts are utterly useless, because they re])resent conditions which have not existed for years. As a matter of fact the channel laigether but it was neitlKr corrected or recalled. It nia}- be ad'led that a new survey oi the channel was made last year, and the Hoard was i)rou'ised lliat bifore this time a new chart founded thereon Avould be issued. It is hoped it may be free from the fatal defects of the other. .As evidence of the desire of the I)e])artment to esta])lisli these latest soundings was, by order of the Minister, submitted to the amicable relations with the Hoard, it may be mentioned that a draft of Board for examination before going into the hands of the lithographer, and that Uu ISIinisier advised the Hoard that the resident engineer had been instnuted to furnish for its use such information respecting the depth of water in the channel, etc., as might be required. The foregoing statement of facts is necessarily curtailed, but it may be sufficiently full to give some idea of the difliculties which pre- sented tbeujselves to the Hoard when it undertook to adjust a matter most seriously afTecting the public interest. Jt shows, also, that the Board has not lost sight of the purpose for which it was organized, but has actively and persistently exerted itself for the pul)lic good. Another matter of great pul)lic interest which engaged the attei'-lion fif llie Hoard for some years was the Southern Railway. .\s early as 18S6 the Hoard began taking steps in tliis matter. In October of tliat year tile .Minister of Railways was asked whether, in the event of a i)roviiici;il charter being obtained for a railway connecting this city vv'iih the United St.ates such a charter would be allowed by the Federal authorities. The reply was to the effect thai the Government felt itself liound to ])revent the construction of such a road, as it might be injurious to the interests of the C. P. R. Notwithstamling the dis- courging outlook, however, the Hoard applied to the Provincial Legis- lature for a charter, which was granted. A similar a])])lication was made to the I'ederal Parliament in the spring of 1887, but afterwards withdrawn, as it was determined to stand by the provincial charter and fight the i]uitier out. .\ convention of rejjresentatives from the various municipalities in the I'raser valley was called and met in this city to discuss the proposed Southern Railway, the improvement of the river and other ])ublic (juestions, and in many otlicr ways the Hoard contin- ually kept demanding the right to connect this city with the American railway system. The proposed route v.as surveyed by direction of the Board at a et)St of over |2,(x)f), and o\\ the 25th of Ajiril, 1888, a tele- gram was received iVom Ottawa stating that the Government had de- 3 ! fidt'd not to dis.illow tlif cliarttT. After soiiir fruitless lu-j^otiatiotis with Senator CanfieM, who wislied to ])r(H'iir(' tliis charter, the Hoard fiiiallv assijfiied it on certain conditions to tlie Westminster vSonthern Railway Co., a conipan\ conj])osed of ourown citizens. The remainder of this history of this undertakinjf calls for little comment. The road is now completed, and has virtually passed into the handsof the Crre >* Xorlhern. and before the next annual meetini;- it will doid)tless he in success ful o\ )eraiion. It would probably be quite correct to say that these two are the of the ittt 'hich ht d th ittenti most important Hoard, and they are the matters which have occupied its attention more larj.jely than any others. The one has been satisfactorily con- cluded, and it makes the City of New Westminster the most imjiortant railway centre in the ])rovince, j^ivinj^ it direct communication, by two ,i(reat transcontinental and competinj^ roads, with the Canadian and American railway systems. The other, although far from satisfactory, has materially proj^ressed. Several ships have already taken carj.joes of lumber for foreit^n ports from our mills, our carj^o of salmon has been successfully shipped, and sea<.(oing vessels are now lirinj^injr merchan- dise from (ireat Britain and elsewhere direct to this city. There is reason to believe that the new river chart will shortly appear, and that it will be such as to alTord material aid to ship])in,i( on Fraser River. We are now within measurable distance of the time when the great advantajtjes of the river will be held at their true value, and when the citv whose interests the Hoard has ever been anxious and zealous in ])romotinj^ will be reco',Miized as the most important commercial and industrial centre in the ])roviiue. The Hoard has devote>l considerable attention to the securinj^ of reliable i)ilots for the river. On several occasions ])ilots who had no knowled<.(e of the channel have undertaken to bring vessels to this ])ort, and vessels have been grounded and detained. vStroug repre- sentations in these cases have been made to the Vilot Board, and it is ex])ected that a pilot will l)e ap])ointed, whose duty it will lie to take charge, exclusively, of Fraser River pilotage, and that such accidents will be prevented in future. I-'ortunately. the character of the river is such that in no case has any damage been done to vessels which have grour.ded in it. The Hoard has been actively interested, also, in securing better mail connnunication ; in iiromoting the interests of the fisheries; in the construction of the INIud Hay Canal ; the i)rotection of the river bank at Sumas ; the appointment of a T'. S. consular agent at this port ; the ]irocuring of street letter boxes ; the erection of a traffic bridge over Pitt River ; tlie obtaining of increased facilities f jr freight lillcss negotiations oliartir. tlu- I5o;,i-(l tminstiT Southern !^- Tlu- reniaindfr ""iit-'iit.

It is situutt'd on the north hank of I-'ra'^cr River, 16 miles from its entrance into the (inlf of (k'orj^ia, and the situation was chosen both on ac- ronnt of its inii)ortance from a military point of view and becanse of natnral advanta,t;es as the site for a commercial centre. The I'Vaser is the most important river of IJritish Columbia. It is tlu' ;^reat waterway which reaches from tlie Rocky Mountains in the interior, and, in its course to the ocean, flows throuj^h some of the richest ^o\(\ mines and most fertile aj^ricultnr.il lands on the continent. The river is quite navij^able as far as Westminster, and some miles above, for vessels drawing 21 feet or more ; and when the works of improve- ment, under course of construction by the Federal Government, have l)een completed, it is confidently believed that any merchant ship will be able to reach the city with perfect safety. Above Westminster the river is navi}.fable by flat-bottomed, stern-wheel steamers, such as ply on the Mississippi. Duriiij^ the last three years several ocean-j^oinjf vessels have come to the city with carj^oes, and taken away lumber and fish for foreij^n ports, and this year it is expected that about 20 sea-jjjoiu}^ vessels will come to this jiort, brin}.^injf or seekinj^ cargoes. Westminster is tlic only city on IVaser River, and is, therefore, the distributin,^ point and place of ex])ort for all the cDinnierce which the river and adjacent territory produce. It is nearly in the centre of Westminster District, the finest agricultural district in Hritish Colum- bia, the district in which are situated a lar^e majority of the great salmon caniiing establishments and saw-mills, and, as well, the most p()])nl()us and rapidly increasing district in the Province. The cit}' is easy «>f access from all parts of this territory, l)y railway, steamer or wagon road. The Fraser flows through the finest agricultural and timber lands anywhere to be found ; and, as no other medium can compete with water in ])oint of cheapness for the purposes of trans- portation, the Fraser gives Westminster a substantial advantage in this respect over any other city in the Province. It is, therefore, one of the most desirable points, both for trade and manufacturing. Besides possessing the advantages of its situation on the river, Westminster is well su]ipliey alioiit 25 iilik'S.

This hridj^a* ccnir.i rts the city with Lulu Island, one of the most fertile avfricultural districts in tin- rountry. The cost of the work was about #65, (hk). This cost was paid out of the lands reclaimed, and the corjioration has remaining 75 acres, where line sites may be found for manufactories. In the iall of iS' 11 the Council jiurchased an electric li.iiht jilanl. which is r.ov.- in successful ojuration.

The cost of the works so far has been about 5*^0, ay), and Westnunster is better lij^hted, and at far less cost, than any other city in the Pro\ ince. It is ]iroposed to add another incandescent dynamo, of i.Sfxj lam]) jjower, this year, and when the ])resent demand for electric li^hl has been met it is believed the whole cost of street li.ijhtinjf will lie nearly met by the revenue from incandescent lights. The Council of 1890 also erected the I'ul-Iic Library liuildini.j, at a cost of ;^25,or«j. T'-e revenue from the renti:!,^ of sho])s in this build- in!^ is expected to lie more than the cost of its maintenance. The same Council onstiucted a new and commodious sti'am t'erry boat to acconnnodate traffic across the river. This l)oat is jirovided with a powerful puni]) for fire purpttses. and is, therefore, an im])ortant ad- e self-su])])orting, as well as the electric light works and ferry.
