E : GEOKGfc PO&T INCORPORATION/ OF SEEMS VERY ^maintenance, of jsutsh' '.seiwerage jsyp-:; ii ¦Movement"for Municipalilncorpo'ratjbn Is Beset by-Divergent 'Intewigts \ That municipal inoorpbrhtion is, at this date, a matter still rSTnoteand far from ac-coiiip.lish.ment is lief of the P.rince <2eorge Post. We1 ¦-(lo not wish to discourage-the people who, see in a sensible municipal'mpye-ment^elief, from many distressing coriditionsNwilh'.wKich the unorganised community rnijSt. put up, such as primitive . sanitary ^^arrangement; absence of water supply, and ungraded streets, hut this is our belief, and we wish to state the facts upon which we base it. It must be xrehieinhered that the-movement for municipal incorporation began in South Fort. George. ...This movement commenced as far back^as the year 1912. In 1913, acting under the powers conferrad under the "Municipal Incorporation Act," petitions were circulated at South Fort George, ' which were signed by the proportion of property, owners required byjjttft^ ute. The application of South'Fort George for incorporajjoifwas adver-. tisod. and the ipatter was presented for the ¦approval of. thei Executive Courvpil^at. Victoria in due 'form -through the attorneys "of the town, 'Messrs. Bowser, Eeidx«& Wallbridge, of Vancouver. . , x South Fort George was. put to a large expense in'dealing with the nvat-ter of their1 proposed incorporation, and although their application was in jroper orderthe application was turn,-.;; ed^down definitely in March, Wfi, when the following letter was^eceiv-. ed.by Mr>J. B. Oaniell, cha'irman of the incorporation "comnytfee:- Dear Sir—We ^j^/adyised by the Provincial Secretaryxt-hat' the Executive CouncjKAVill not go on, at the present J-in>e with the incorporation of South/Fort Georjre, but thfU^ they , ration, of the whole district/if. re tnree centres would ' combine/iyid i^ask for incorporation covering" Kort j George, Prince Geonn? and South.
