For on May 20 a great event occurred when the local Indian tribe, by unanimous consent, surrendered 36 acres of Hazelton Indian Reserve. This means a great deal to th£ residents of the community, and might be said to be a "life-saver" in the way of putting Hazelton on the map. It is, In fact, say local people, the biggest thing that has happened in the old Hudson's Bay Trading post for 50 years, and thus the economic future of t.ie district is assured. Prior to the surrender of these acres, the white settlement covered onl}- 11 acres. The land surrendered has been sub-divided into lots and will be sold to the public on application at rates fixed by the surveyors and approved by the department of Indian affairs. Plans are being made for the erection of a new high school, and possibly a federal building may be one of the projects established in the near future. Settlers in the villrge are anxious to locate further from the banks of the Skeena River, which has recently been such a menace owing to the flood conditions. There is every indication, therefore, that with the additional land, now surrendered by the Indian population, the Hazelton village and community may grow to an extent not previously thought of, and that the future of the community may be an important one. Tills latest development in regard to the land is viewed by all residents In the Hazelton area with optimism and hopes that the future of the community will form an important part ot the future of th> province of British Columbia. Water Supplies Form City Council Topic Application from the Finning Tractor and Equipment Co. for the leasing of a lot near C.X.R. trackage was the major business discussed at the regular meeting, of the city council Monday night. ' 'We will negotiate with them." stated Mayor Nicholson, "but the application concerns the C.N'.R.— will the C.N.R. provide trackage if we rent the sites?" Thoroughly discussed by th council was a petition from resi dents of the area bounded by Pat ricia Avenue and Alford Park. 1 requested the installation of hy d'rants for fire protection and the assurance of an adequate suppl.v of water from the city in case of emergency. It was unanimous ly decided by council that current water supplies were insufficient for present uses. City Clerk W Fraser was asked to reply to the petition. Aid. Harold Assman then brought to the attention of the meeting a request from Thor B. Thome whose property at the corner of Canterbury and Wain-wright Streets, purchased from the city, was not supplied with water. Discussion regarding means to connect water lines with this property was led by Aid. J. N. Keller and City Engineer Charles East. A suggestion that local real, estate men should be informed of the water and light-in'g facilities of all lots to be sold by the city was moved by Aid. Assman and seconded by Aid. W. R. Munro. It was decided that a bylaw to close Saskatoon Road, which passes through the hospital grounds would be given its first, second and third readings; copies of a traffic bylaw were distributed among the aldermen for their perusal. Ex-Inspector Spiller, Formerly Here, Dies At New Westminster Word has been received of the death of Ex-Inspector W. V. E. Spiller, D.C.M., at New Westminster on Monday last. The late Inspector Spiller was well known here having been in command of "F" division which had its headquarters at Prince George from 1930 to 1932. Previous to the forming of "F" division he was in command of "D" division with headquarters at Prince Rupert. At the early age of 12 he joined the Royal Navy as a "boy," and served for many years, retiring with the rank of chief petty offic-«»\ Coming to British Columbia, he joined the B.C. police as a constable and \VZ$ Stationed at Ar> botsford. Later he Cains to Clinton, and was later transferred to the 150 Mile House. Many of the characteristics aC* quired in the navy were evident in "him as a police officer. His direct and forthright approach and breezy manner were a byword in the force. He served in World War I with inland transport in Egypt and was awartled the Distinguished Conduct Medal. In conversation with Sub Inspector George Clark, the latter remarked, "The first time I met Inspector Spiller was when I was transferred . to Prince George in 1924. At that time he was staff sergeant in charge'of "D" division,, and made frequent trips from Prince Rupert to Prince George. He was a kindly man and constables used to go to him with their personal troubles. Many of us look back with gratitude to the good advice and assistance which he was always willing to give," After his retirement the late inspector lived at Salt Spring Island for some years and then went to live with a brother at Langley.
