use, the Canadian Radio Commission
would be well advised to consider the
question of interference with broad-
cast reception. In this connection it
might borrow suggestions that have
been made by the council of the Brit-
ish Institution of Wlectrical Engine-
ers, which recently investigated such
interference arising from the oper-
ation of electrical plants, The invest-
jgation dealt with domestic apparatus
including refrigerators, fans and
vacuum cleaners; larger plants such
as generators, motor lifts and rect-
ifiers; traction; automobiles and air-
craft. The idea was to make st

Abolish School Boards
Suggests Sumas Reeve

Representatives from Matsqui, Su-
mas, Abbotsford, Mission and Lang-
ley municipalities appeared before the
municipal commission which sat here |
on Thursday to enquire into munic
pal conditions, Reeve Cruickshank
sought powers to obtain additional
municipal revenue by taxation of the
large areas of Soldier Settlement
lands situated in Matsqui, He also
advocated a special tax against indus-
trlal concerns and residents who are
not property owners with in the mur
icipality. Reeve Booth of Lang!
stressed the need for greater govern-
mental assistance to municipalities if
the standard of relief set up by the
provincial authorities Is lived up to.
Reeve Catherwood of Mission held
shat there should be one ndard of
education throughout Co and
that the Dominion government should
issume all responsibility,

Reeve Murphy recommended the
appointment of a commission to ad-
minister local school affairs instead
of elective school boards as at pre-

sent, each commissioner to be in
charge of say three districts. Among
improvements seen by the Sumas

reeve in such a plan were easier and
more effictient ility of school bu-
siness in times such as at present
when roads make assembly of boards
difficult, and elimination of favoritism
in appointment of relatives
of trustees to teaching staffs,
Restoration of government grants
was urged.

Judge Harper and Mr. A. Patterson
sat as the commission.

ions for prevention of interference
with broadcast reception and to give
some estimate of the
is that the suppression of such inter-
ference is possible without any great
€ incorporating

themselves. This can be done in do-
mestic equipment, and some further
investigation is necessary before a
plan is arrived at as it affects larger
plants,
teception in this city is not nearly
S80 00d as could be desired. Every
community has it’s problems. There
is a question too, which should en-
Sage the Canadian Radio Commission
namely, the rectification of some of
the wave lengths of some of the sta-
ons. The recent changes made for
certain stations in this province have
been far from sauisfactory. The result
has been that there are stations in
Vancouver, hitherto Popular, that are
now hardly listened to at all by
people in this city, and no doubt it
1s the same in the rest of the province.
‘There is a good deal of spade work
for the Commission to do before nat-
jonalization of broadcasting ean be
justified in the popular mind."—vic-
