_ An Open Letter from ‘Billy’ Atkinson

To the voters of Chilliwack electoral district:

I have been asked to express my opinions on several local matters of
importance and take this opportunity of doing so.

I am in favor of a paved highway to Vancouver, because I believe that

Why didn’t he have the bill

velopment and commercial Activity.
I believe in fair treatment of all taxpayers, and will work for money appro-
priations to outlying communities such as Parsons Hill, Columbia Valley, Kil-
gard and others for the necessary reconditioning of roads in proportion, at -
least, to the net taxes derived by the Provincial government from those areas.
In Agriculture, I realize our farmers are facing many difficult problems.
Iam 9, firm believer in the right of the farmer to engage in collective buy-
ing and co-operative selling and I will work for the reorganization of the
marketing system on more economical lines.
The “Milk Bill’, unsuccessfully advanced last session by the F. V. M. P. A,
was endorsed last Feburary by the Chilliwack -Young Conservative Association
of which I am a member, and to which action I assented. Notice of the resolu-

I am in favor of government supervision of our Hydo-Electric development,

In conclusion I repeat that my first duty will be to constantly and con-

Yours faithfully,
