W. P. Hfnton, vice-president and general manager or the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway, interviewed in Montreal last Saturday, stated that the Government of British Columbia is now about to open five new land settlement areas adjacent to the Grand Trunk Pacific. Each of theae areas will be pproximately 50,000 acres situated in tho Bulkley and Nochako valleys
It is estimated that those new districts will receive 20,000 new settlers during the present year, the bulk of them coming from tho United States with a* proportion from Southern Alberta, said Mr. Hinton. The British Columbia Government is also selling ou easy terms some 3.800 head of cattle to new settlers along the Grand Trunk Pacific this year.

Auction Sale of City Lots Was
Illegal; Titles Will Be Made Valid
? ? -t-
i.
A lengthy opinion wus received this week fi-om S. S, Taylor, K. C, of Vancouver, upon the legality of the auction sale of city lots held here in September last. This information comes in response to the desire of the City Council to secure expert opinion upon thig matter. In the opinion of Mr. Taylor the gale is deemed illegal, and proper title can Im? issued to the properties involved in tills sale after the passing of an Enabling Act by the Government. At the Council Meeting in the City Hall last nig'U the council authorized the Mayor to get the action of the former civic government in this sale legnlized, unless it is found that the City is not responsible for damages in the event of the titles not being iiuiile good. Legal opinion appears undivided upon the matter of the City's responsibility for damages if the sale is deemed illegal, hut opinions differ upon the legality of the action of the 1010 Council in this matter. In our next Issue vre will print the opinion rendered by-Mr. Taylor In this matter. The Citizen would like to reassure people whom, having purchased property at this sale 4iiid contemplate development work thereon, might hesitate to proceed jby reason of the present, action. The attitude of the present administration is calculated to adjnst this matter so that no injustice shall befall any of those ho purchased these properties in good faith.
