It Is said that the committee in Sharge of the investigation of the pumping plant and city coal yard questions are making prepara- tions to sift the possibilities in this direction to the bottom, par '.icularly the coal matter. The chamber assumes the view that he fuel question is one of the most vital of the many on which hat body is engaged owing to being so closely associated with
 he future development of the ter ritory. This view has become specially strong, in the minds of the members since the delivery of
 he report of the committee on placer mining last week, through t having been shown in that re- port that mining development is practically dependant on cheaper fuel.
