Smith Curtis Interviewed At The Coast
Victoria Times reports Rossland Liberal candidate Smith Curtis in the city to discuss interior business conditions. He says conditions are very fair outside lumber, and interior towns’ aid for Fernie tire sufferers shows both poverty and well‑being. Rossland has donated over $1 per inhabitant. Vancouver would need $85,000 and Victoria area $45,000 to match. The total aid fund must reach $200,000 or more to avert severe hardships.
