Zone 3 White Rock Ratepayers’
‘Assocation, Friday night, in White
Rock Lodge,

“Representatives from Crescent,
Sigin, Sunnyside, Occan Park and

mutable date for our first moct-
ing.” Irwin sald.

“The committee will not decide
boundaries, It will merely discuss

hinted. fal}
BEOKEN PROMISES

Trwin urged a good attendance at
the special general meeting on the
water question. “White Rock
Water Works |Company is not Uv-
ing up to its ngreements with
Surrey or promises to the Rato-
payors’ Association. There Is no
shortage of water, only proper dis-
tribution facilities.”

“Ms, Johnson told us there would,
‘be no raise in rates until the syx-
tem was Improved, but we learn
an application has been made for
an increase in ratex and no Im-
provements made.”

“We have no objection to Ocean
Park getting water, but we object
to them getting it at the expense
of White Rock.”

Rezoning of White Rock i under
consideration reported chairman J.
A. Barrie. Executive folt that zones
As now constituted were not the
best for organization purposes and
would probably be revised In the
Fall. ‘

CHANGE MIND

Dr, © W. B. McPhail, president
of the society sald this weok he
had recelyed definite word that the
Dominican Sisters are not golog

“This sets us back where we
started more than throe years
ago,” Dr. McPhail sald. “Need for
& hospital is far greater than it
Was at that time.”

“We have the consent of the
council and Victoria authoritics
are aware and waiting to hear
from us. It in up to the people of
White Rock to make the decision."
