From: Alf [T.A. Patrick]

To: Mrs. Marion G. Patrick, Yorkton, Assa.

He mentions that he had lunch with Sanford Evans, editor of the Telegram, who had wrote "one of the articles on Territorial Autonomy in the last number of the Canadian Magazine." He states that he had to refuse to say anything for publication but that the discussion resulted in Evans agreeing to send a Telegram correspondent to Regina to write up the debates.

Patrick states that "the Nord-Westen (German) is a convert to my views and kindly consented to give reports of my work at Regina at full length without asking anything for doing it. This is unusual in a German newspaper." He then reports that he attended a the Winnipeg medical society "to hear and see a lecture on Neilsen's stomach and liver."

Patrick also had diner with H. A. Robson, late deputy attorney general of the North West Territories, and they chatted about Regina and the North West Government, which Robson thought "worthy of condemnation." Patrick reports that Robson assured him "that the opinions expressed to the Devils Lake school district in respect of the assessment of Doukhobortsi were wrong and that the opinion I expressed to them was right."

He finish his letter stating, "I expect a fighting session and will probably have given and received hard blows before I see you again."

A report on the need for redevelopment or repair of urban areas within the City of Winnipeg, produced by the Urban Renewal & Rehabilitation Board. The report evaluates a number of areas in then-southeast Winnipeg, along the Red River, for the prevalence of ‘blight’, as determined by a visual survey of building exteriors. The authors separate this area into three types of zones: ‘Redevelopment Areas’, subject to wholesale clearance, ‘rehabilitation areas’, which may be improved through improved enforcement of city bylaws, and ‘conservation areas’, where only preventative action is required. The report recommends further analysis of the areas it examined, re-examination of existing by-laws and enforcement, and better communication of ‘conservation’ programs to the public

The attached maps are of the area examined by the report, and comprise:

  • An overall area map
  • A map of designated ‘urban renewal areas’
  • A maps of existing land use
