In common with "other communiti�. unemployment had presented one of the major problems. So far as the imemployed in the district were concerned he regarded them as men and women who were enduring hardship, with courage and patience. His hope � was that a solution might be worked out while patience continued to be a virtue. As to the board's finances, they were sound, there being a substantial credit balance on hand at the end of the year. This had been made possible through the action of the secretary niak'rig a donation of his services during the past five months, and to the fact that Mayor Patterson had also made a donation of his convention expenses. Mr. Mclnnis made an appeal to members and to citizens generally to give local products a preference at all times, as by so doing they would help to keep money in local circulation to their mutual benefit. In closing he tendered hLs thanks to the officers and members of the board for .their co-operation throughout the year, and �'expressed the wish the new officers and the board would enjoy every success during the^ensuing year. J. Q. Wilson. secrctavy-tveaM'.rc;-. submitted his annual report showing cash on hand of $73.27 at the end ol the year. C. A.

A communication was read from W. , G. Manders, freight traffic manager of the C.N.R. at Winnipeg, in WVrch he stated it would be impbwible t0 erant a special rate on potatoes out of Prince George as any such rats . would constitute discrimmat "on against other points interested in the shipment of potatoes.
