Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from British Columbia´s Claim: Upon the Dominion Government for Better Terms Three conditions, permanent in character, differentiate British Columbia´s case from that of every other province, namely: 1. Its mountainous surface. 2.Its position in relation to the other provinces and other countries. 3. The character of its special products. Mountainous Surface. Its habitable area is about one-fortieth of its entire surface, or about 6,000,000 out of a total of 238,483,007 acres, and lies more or less evenly distributed over the whole province, along narrow but widely separated valleys and gulches, immured by 360,000 square miles of snow-capped mountains. This is a condition for which mo analogue in Canada can be found - and it is a permanent one. Its Distinctive Effects. Wholly as a result of this feature - that 97 per cent., at least, of British Columbia´s surface is mountains, the remaining 3 percent, forming the interstices between - it follows as night the day that her settlements, whether in the valleys or on the hills, are, and of physical necessity will for all time be, radically different from those of the other provinces, in being - 1. Small in area. 2. Isolated in position. 3. Difficult of access. The distinctive effects upon expenditure in British Columbia, specially for such local services to these settlements as public works, civil government, administration of justice, hospitals and charities, are not far to seek. True, in every new province whose settlements are small in area and population and are wide apart, the expenditure in these departments will at first be larger than it will afterwards become. But only in British Columbia, whose settlements must of physical necessity be and always remain widely separated by well-nigh impassable mountains, will there be an abnormal expenditure which will remain permanent. The permanency of this abnormal expenditure in British Columbia is traceable to a topography peculiar to British Columbia, and is one feature which differentiates and must always differentiate British Columbia´s case from that of every other province.
