BoNNERs FERRY SHOULD COME MIRO DRAINAGE DISTRICT


The biggest project which started in aud about Bon
Ferry that of the drainage the Kooenai valley The bene
fits which would be derived by Ferry and the whole of the
Kootena valley with the successful outcome OF the poecand It's
has been promised by has investigated it,
hardly be estimated The of benefit we'll known
need to be discussed.
Just project fairly way
because Boomers objected being taken into the
drainage district and having her assessed according bene
fits derived along with the of those owning lands between
this and the Canadian line The objections raised not
of desire hinder the and is unbelievable that
they made from selfish standpoint But the fact remains that
Ferry making has taken
attempting understanding and compromise with
the valley below supporting the business
enterprises and the drainage PROPOSE
ton carried successfully and in fairness all concerned
The basis organizing drainage district of size is that all
should benefited according benefits
ceved No has said that Ferry would be bene
flied We all know that the the drainage project
the benefit of improved trade and increased population This is
absolutely and literally Then that
the its existence and growth and
country upon Ferry should be wiped off
flood earthquake the could and would
get along contrary
wiped there would be for the existence of the
would gradually dwinde hamlet Boomers Ferry therefore,
deeply interested increased population That
on must come drainage successful and with the population
would be bigger resulting benefits Certainly
the If these benefits right and
fair the should according the benefits received just
the the rancher.
1t poorest argument
that its impaired just
thing Individually district The credit of the
would impaired bonding for high school
Granted for arguments sake that the credit
would be impaired 1t for the credit of Boomers Ferry
impaired the ranchers credit be The
ought the the ranch
to the received just the
the valuation basis
They according benefits received We ought
Ferry The question of
would naturally be settled after much discussion with the business
think should be settled be
going Any however feeling aggeved will have
right before jury The law
rights The basis that a-big little white
black in who are benefited
/ is unfair that part should be left
How of Boomers Ferry stay out of the drainage dis
the time itself with the people larger Ou
circulars, written spirit
asking
Ceston and had big ofcaion Many speeches made favor
ing reclamation dozens of have boosted reclamation
fairness take the position that won't
into the big district because will have something because
our credit will be impaired, for other reason'
itself with the British Columbia
refuses into the big district The rancher
all times kept faith with the British
Columbia people, and have been consistent their attitude They
signed the petition for the organization of big district and
their willingness according the benefits received
If the Boomers Ferry after shouting loud for reclamation
refuses share then the blame will
entirely with the in killing the whole project
