f^'ive it an appearance of solidity that must impress all stranyers with a
confidence in the future of Victoria.

Ir WII.I. SECIRE THE MOKE ACTIVP: I.NTEKEST ANO I ll-Ol'EKA I K>N OV

THE Canadian Pai h ir Railway. It is as well to realize just what this
Corporation is. No matter what we think about other corporations
and what ideas we may have on railway competition, let us, as
citizens, deal with one question at once, and bear in mind that this
Company has built up scores of cities upon its line that have been friendly
to it, and that very few have prospered that have beer, antaj^^onistic.
The Canadian I'.icific Railway made Winnipeg-, Calj^-ary, X'ancouver and
Quebec. Victoria, so far, has followed rather .\ neutral policy. Have
we gained anything ? Is there any reason why we should not trv what
we can <\o with a policy of friendship, especially as it costs us nothing?

HOTEL SITE

bing on Douglas and Hotel Streets and
le above plan remains the property of

e not studied this c|ueslion it can hardly be cred-
isiness can be so developed through the building
.•specially if those hotels are in the hands of great

railway corporations. Southern California estimates a profit, not a
revenue, o{' 25 million dollars per year, while the small city of Pasadena
with about ro,cKKi population, estimates a prolit ol .S2,5(xi,(xx).(ki per
year, largely through the " Cireen " Motel.

IN THE FIFTH PLACE;

WILL ^m A WE/\LTHY CLASS OF VISITORS WHO
NOW P/^SS Br THE CITV.

Mk. MiN'uiioi., CJi'N. Mc.K. 01 rniv f. I'. R.. has st.atkp i 11 a r
IF TiiKY HuiLD iiiis iioTKi. THKV wii.i. MAKK IT I'AV. Therefore the
people of Victoria must realize that the city will be advertised by the
company in an altogether different way to what it has been in the past.
The Steamship " I'rincess Victoria " is one instance of what the com-
pany can do if they see lit. .\t present all passengers for China, the
very best class of tourists, stop over and take their boat at Vancouver.
The company issue tourist tickets from Australia to Vancouver and re-
turn, etc., with the privilege of a tree 10 days hotel bill at Hanff or \'aii-
couver. These people uould have the option o\' staying at Victoria.
And in a hu.ndred other ways the company could contribute to the gen-
eral advertising of the city, in fact, the attractions of this city as a tour-
ist resort combined with their hoicl would be a very valuable aid to them
in securing traffic from the Kast.

IN THE SIXTH PLACE:

WILL l|<CRE/\SE THE VALUE OF EXISTING HOTEL PROPERTY.

The erection of this hotel would increase the value of all real estate
in the city, and of hotel property. At first sight this may not seem pos-
sible but it has been the case in every tourist city on the continent. In
Los .Angeles a few years ago the " \'an Nuys " was erected at a cost of
over half a million dollars. It was said at the lime that it would never
pay, but in less than five years the travel was so heavy that the
" .Angeles " was erected, costing furnished, a million and a (.juarter dol-
lars. The first year it was opened these two hotels were turning away
from 30 to 40 people per day and charging from S5.00 to S14.00 per day
for accommodation, and the smaller hotels in the city received a much
larger and much better patronage than they had before. To come nearer
home, the Washington Hotel in Seattle has only been opened a few
months but it has been a paying investment from the start, and all the
hotels down town are " running full " just the same. This hotel will be
different from those mentioned, because it will be owned and operated
by a railway company able to fill it and to draw visitors to the city from
the patronage of its own line, apart from anything the citizens them-
selves may do to advertise our attractions.

AND FINALLY:

WILL E/^TAIL NO CASH BONUS CN THE PEOPLE OF VICTORIA.

rtals can he liisposed of for any purpose tliat will improve tliecitv or that
will contribute much to its revenue, and it is tjuite possible *liat they
would remain unproductive for the len},''tli of lime for which the company
is to he free of taxation. If not, it is very doubtful whether the revenue
derived from the sale oi' the property would amount to very much. The
value at the present time of the piece of property to be j^iven to the
companv is very problematical even when properly filled in. Hut it is
\ ery certain that if it is used for the purposes contemplated by this by-
law that in fifteen years time it will be worth three times what it is now.
It will he taxed on its value at that time at the end of fifteen years after
all improvements have been made, both upon and around it, therefore
the city will receive for all time tiikkk times thk amoist ov ki;\ kmI':

The Canadian Pacific Railway has not approached the city in this
matter. It has been a proposition from the citizens oi' Victoria to the
company. It will cost the company more than the value of the land at
the present time, to build upon this site, in preference to any other, on
account of the difiiculty in securing a foundation. The whole t-juestion
revi>lves itself into this, that the company is improving and beautifyinj^
our town, improvinf^ the value of every piece of property in it, impnn-
inp the value of their piece of property for revenue purpi>ses, on which
they build, to three times its present value, improving the facilities oi
transportation to the city, improving the general business of the city by
bringing people here who will spend from two to three million dollars a
year. .Ml that the citizens are asked to do is to provide the site upon
which to do this, suillcient free water for ordinary purposes, and exemp-
tion from tax.ition in order to reduce working expenses for the first
fifteen years, all of which will not entail an actual outlay of one dollar of
the citizens' money.

VOTE FOR THE BY-LAW

The citizens' committee therefore ask voters to take all these mat-
ters into their serious consideration upon the 15th of September, and
vote for the most important liy-'aw that has ever been placed before the
citizens, the passage of which means increased prosperity for every
business and laboring man in the city.
