Vancouver City Council conducts charity petition and officer elections
The Vancouver Common Council meets with Prestab presiding and approves minutes. A petition from Sisters of Charity seeks street rights, a Special Committee is created to study it with legal advice. Fire Department Chief Engineer and Assistant officers are elected. A stray local tale recounts a race with a betting twist, and notes editor Struve will contribute from the Sound about regional affairs. A soap factory plan by Lewis Solena and D A Conlisk is announced, with Mr Coolish as a veteran in the trade. 106 Artillery recruits arrive from New York for Forts Han cock and Stevens.
