A city council debate on forming an executive committee for the water works and hydro electric scheme reveals concerns about trust and efficiency. The piece defends committees as standard for executive work, praises local councils, cites reciprocity issues with the United States, and notes the council's tax rate of about 12 mills with prompt-payment rebates. Local progress and fiscal prudence are highlighted as the city grows.
Former Ontario premier Sir George W. Ross has not publicly stated his stance on reciprocity in the campaign. Observers note he condemned reciprocity before the treaty and may delay his manifesto until after votes are counted, as in 1891.
City council agrees to treat waterworks and hydro electric scheme as a matter for the whole council with weekly meetings. An executive committee could be named only if needed to speed emergency action, while opponents urge open handling by the full council.
The city council and city solicitor decided not to insure the recently purchased team of horses used on the streets. The proposed policy barred exposure to danger, which the solicitor deemed impossible in Prince Rupert at the present time.
