Another variation of the many tramway schemes for Stanley Park was submitted to tho Hoard of I'ark Commissioners last evening by the Electric Railway Construction Company. The latest proposal of the Electric Company Is to construct a lino commencing at the Junction of the pipe line road and Coal Harbor shore line and proceeding thence through the woods to Siwash Rock. Among the advantages pointed out In favor of this alternative proposal was that the tramway would be away from the vehicular traffic, the area taken up would rot ba more than four acres, and In addition to the rood proving an effective fire break, connection would be made with the West Vancouver Hollyburn ferries across the west Narrows. It was decided to refer the question to the full board at a subsequent meeting. Six tenders were submitted to the board for the erection of two piers and two floats at various points In Stanley Park for use In connection with the landing of pleasure parties.

The tender of H. J. LaUrasht Co. of 7,450 was accepted, subject to the government approval. Upon tho suggestion of Commissioner Evans a clause In the bylaws was amended In order to allow Stanley Park to be thrown open to automobiles on Saturdays.

He pointed out that many automobile owners were unable to chug around the park during the week from business reasons, and now that the roads had been widened the element of danger had been eliminated. Mr. Georce Hlack appeared before the boar don behalf of Mr. Patterson, the contractor for the Stanley I'ark pavilion, asking for an extension of time to finish the work. Owing to the strike work on the building had been delayed and it would be almost Impossible to complete the contract by the expiring date, August 1.

The contractor was granted three months extension of time to complete the contract. Mr. A. M. Lowes of Newcastle, England, was appointed at a salary of $75 to $K0 per month as swimming Instructor and care taker at Kltsilano beach.

Application of Captain Haswell for the use of the Harris street grounds for balloon ascensions was refused. Several other matters of minor Importance were brought up and the board adjourned at 10:30 o'clock, DISTRICT COUNCILS On June 10 the Coqultlam council met, an the members being present except Councillor Lungan, who Is on a visit to England. Various plans of subdivisions were before the council. Those which have streets and lanes laid out In line with townsite plans were approved; others referred hack for alteration. All plans are referred to Engineer Wilson, as the council Is determined to have no blind streets or unnecessary jogs.

A petition was received from owners Ion School House road asking to have iiilu tj iwi road anu 01 fering sufficient land free from that purpose. The engineer was instructed to get plans ready. A temporary loan of lr.000 was made from the Rank of Vancouver, pending the receipt of the proceeds of the sale of the 1911 bonds, i Accounts amounting to were ordered paid. The reeve and Councillor Hawthorne were given authority to purchase another municipal team, and a road roller, two'graders and various other road machinery were or deed, as a very large amount of work will be, done on the roads this year. Tho revenue bylaw was finally passed, the total rate this year being 9 mills and 1 mill for school purposes, against 13l mills and 1 '4 mills, respectively, last year.

The Increase In the assessed values allows this reduction In the roads. The question of building roads In suoaivislons came In for considerable discussion and the chair was directed to write to other municipalities and cii'iuus nuw mey oeai wun mis matter. The engineer In making his report of work done, stated that he would have specifications ready for somt bis Jobs In a few days. The council then adjourned. Hot wvk stops bolt.

CHICAGO, June 15. The recent hot wave put the crusher on the proposed fight between "Come Back" Harry Forbes and Kid Prox, the Illinois scrapper. The match probably will be staged early next month. SUBMIT ANO New Coastal Boat Now en Route Here for Grand Trunk Pacific Northern Route Is Luxuriously Fitted Throughout Captain Davies in Command. Somewhere In the vast expanse of the southern Atlantic, ploughing her lonely way through the ucas off the Soulh American coast and headed for Vancouver is the steamer rrinee John, recently acquired by the Urand Trunk Pacific In Oreat Uritain fur the Trince Kupert Quccn Charlotte Island passenger and freight service.

The Prince John Is a steel vessel of 185 feet In length, 30 feet bean and 13.3 feet moulded depth and Is classed 100 A. li at Lloyds. She lias seven watertight bulkheads with a 'boublo bottom, affording ample ballast and fresh water storage. The vessel generates steam from two multitubular Scotch boilers and Is driven by triple expansion engines, which are capable of maintaining a speed of twelve knots under full loaded conditions on an extremely moderate fuel consumption. Her bunkers are large and capable of carrying a big coal supply.

The vessel has been modelled to stand the heaviest weather and Is guaranteed a first class sea boat. Formerly the Prince John was known a sthe Aniethylst and was built for the tiem Steamship Company, operating a fleet of passenger steamships on thu west coast of Scotland. In addition to a large and well arranged Bteerage accommodation for 150 the Prince John has good first class accommodation. Situated on the whale deck Is a very neat and comfortable smoking room finished In fumed oak with leather upholstery und a buffet Is run In connection. This is accessible only from the first class quarters.

The dining saloon, which has a seating capacity of 41, ia finished in mahogany with crimson upholstery and draplngs, and is situated on the shelter deck. Constructed aft is a large pantry and galley conveniently laid out and fitted with all modern necessary to first class cuisine and service. The chief steward's offices are also located on this deck. The dining saloon Is reached by a mahogany stairway leading from the lounge on the shade deck, into a well proportioned and airy vestibule also mahogany panelled and decorated. 'me principal stateroom accommodation Is situated on the shelter deck and consists of 18 twe berth staterooms of large size, veil ventilated and all having outside portholes.

These luxurious staterooms are furnished with folding lavatories, spring berths, hair mattresses and the standard linens of the company. Located for'ard of the dining saloon Is a very cozy seml curcular observation room fitted with large plate glass windows, finished In white and gold and furnished with cushioned wicker chairs. Undoubtedly the obesrvatlon room Is the most attractive feature of the steamer. Right above this Is located the pilot house and officers quarters. On the after part of the lower deck there Is ample promenading space for steerage passengers, and on the shade and upper decks there la ample shelter and lounge space for first class pansengers.

The steamer has a cargo capacity of 450 tons, In addition to her bunkers, and altogether It Is expected that she will be a very convenient and comfortable ship, well adapted for the purpose for which she Is Intended. It Is expected that the Prince John will arrive on this coast about the latter part of July and will soon as possible thereafter be placed In commission on the Prince Kupert Queen Charlotte Island route, thus relieving the steamer Prince Albert for other purposes. It Is altogether probable that the Prince Albert will be utilized In the Vancouver 1'rlnce Rupert freight service. The Prince John is being brought out from Great Britain by Captain Davies, who, it will be remembered brought out the first Grand Trunk J'aclflo steamer, Prince Rupert.
