Dear Sirs,

I beg to advise you that Mr Justice Macdonald has this morning appointed you to be Local Improvement Commissioners under Section 21 of the “Victoria City Relief Act, 1918, No. 2”.  His Lordship, in announcing the appointments, took occasion to remark that the City is fortunate in possessing among its inhabitants three men who are so well qualified to perform the prescribed duties, and who are so public spirited as to be willing to perform them without remuneration.

I shall have the Oath of Office ready for administration whenever you call at my office, and as soon as the Commissioners are sworn I presume that they will elect their chairman and proceed to the exercise of their duties. The Council has provided for the necessary accommodation of the Commissioners a the City Hall.

Yours faithfull,

RW Hannington,

City Solicitor.

Paulin – Clark Marriage, 1959

Daily Colonist, 12 July 1959

Paulin-Clark Rites

Couple Honeymoon on Oregon Coast

St Andrew’s Presbyterian Church was the scene of the wedding Friday evening, which united Elizabeth, daughter of Mr and Mrs Alick Reginald Clark, 849 Pemberton Road, and Mr George Paulin, son of Mr and Mrs CW Paulin, Pembroke Street.

Dr JLW McLean officiated at the double-ring service.

After a wedding trip to the mainland and the Oregon coast, the couple will return to Victoria to live at 85 Sims Avenue.

Enchanting gown of silk organza was worn by the attractive bride.  It was fashioned with fitted bodice complemented by softly draped sleeves and a sabrina neckline outlined with Chantilly lace.  A tiara of seed pearls and rhinestones held her veil of illusion trimmed with lace.  She wore as jewelry, a pearl necklace and earrings, gift of the groom.  Her cascade bouquet was of white and pink roses centred with a sprig f white heather, sent by friends in Scotland.

Preceding the bride up the aisle was her sister, Miss Margaret Clark, maid of honour, and her small cousin, Miss Susan Clark, as flower girl. A ballerina length dress of frosty white nylon organdy over net and turquoise taffeta was worn by the maid of honour.  Tiny turquoise daisies dotted the pretty frock, and a cummerbund was tied at the back in a butterfly bow. Her hair bandeau was of pink and white carnations, as was her bouquet.  Little baskets of flowers embroidered the dainty white organdy frock worn by Susan.

Best man was Bud Brice and ushers were Don Hamilton and Bob Caldwell.

Receiving guests at a reception in Holyrood House, mother of the bride wore a two-piece dress of beige-toned lace.  A clever pink lace and taffeta dress was worn by the groom’s mother.

Bride’s uncle, Albert E Clark, proposed the toast.

For her going-away outfit, the new Mrs Paulin donned a sheath-style dress and matching coat in beige tone worsted fabric. Her hat and gloves were mint green and she had a corsage of white carnations.

Marriage Pauline Victoria Gardiner, 1934

Daily Colonist, 4 November 1934

Miss V Gardiner is pretty bride

In the presence of relatives and a few intimate friends, in a charming setting of flowers and greener, Rev Canon Chadwick conducted the marriage last evening at 8:30 o’clock of Pauline Victoria, only daughter of Mr and Mrs George A Gardiner, 1016 Pakington Street, and Mr Kenneth Fraser Moffatt, only son of Mr and Mrs GA Moffatt, of Vernon.

The Bride was given in marriage by her father, and wore a lovely imported frock of suede lace, made in the new streamline mode, flaring to a short train.  With this she wore a smart little jacket fastened up the back to the neck, and finished with long sleeves tapering to a point over the wrists.  Her hat of suede lace was edged with a small brim of tulle, and she carried a tiny muff of lily of the valley and roses.

Mrs Gardiner wore for the occasion a beautiful ensemble of pansy velvet and a corsage bouquet of roses.

Supper served

Following the service, supper was served at the home of the bride’s parents from a table artistically arranged with roses and Sheffield candelabra holding tall cream tapers. Before the bride cut the cake, the toast was proposed by her uncle, Mr FA Pauline.

After a motoring trip in the South, Mr and Mrs Moffatt will make their home in Vernon.  The bride left on her travels wearing a Patou model high-necked costume of lovebird green cleverly laced down one side with satin in matching tones, and a velour hat of a deeper shade, and a Hudson seal swagger coat finished with an Ascot tie.

George Frederick Paulin, obituary, 1968

Times Colonist, 23 July 1968

Travel Transport Pioneer Dies

George Frederick Paulin, a Victoria native son associated for many years with travel and transport in the Pacific Northwest, died Monday in Veteran’s Hospital.  He was 72.

Retired for three years, he was president of downtown Victoria travel agency George Paulin Ltd, and former president of Black Ball Ferries Ltd, before it became BC Ferries.

He had been in the travel business in Victoria since 1940.

Born in March 1896, Mr Paulin left the Boys Central School in 1911 to work.  At the outbreak of the First World War he joined the army and served overseas with the Canadian Field Artillery.

Between the wars he formed the Vancouver Island Rapid Transit Company, which he later sold to another trucking company.  He later went into the securities and shipping businesses.

ON HARBOR COMMITTEE

He took over agencies for the Northern Pacific Railway and Black Ball Ferries in 1940.

During the Second World War he served with the 5th BC Coast Regiment, RCA and in 1943 was promoted to lieutenant-colonel.

Mr Paulin was a member of the Union Club and for many years headed the harbour development committee of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce.  He was elected president of the BC Tourist Association in 1961, and served as a Rector’s Warden at Holy Trinity Church, Patricia Bay.

He is survived by his wife, Muriel, at their Deep Cove home, one brother CW Paulin, and a number of nephews and nieces.

Funeral will be held Thursday at 2pm at Holy Trinity Anglican Church, the Rev Canon FC Vaughan-Birch officiating.  Other arrangements by Sands Chapel of Roses funeral home in Sidney are pending.

Mr Paulin, Churchwarden, Henley-on-Thames,

Jackson’s Oxford Journal, 3 April 1875

Henley-on-Thames

Vestry meeting – On Tuesday the annual vestry meeting was held in the Town Hall, the Rector occupying the chair. After reading the minutes of the last year’s meeting, the churchwardens’ accounts for the past year were adopted, subject to the examination of the auditors.  Mr Watts observed that the directions of the will of the donor of Smith’s charity, respecting its distribution, had been departed from, and complained that some of the funds had been expended in beautifying and decorating the chancel of the church.  The Rector thought the charity had been properly dealt with, and as regarded the way in which the money had been expended, he was of opinion that he and the Churchwardens had a right to deal with it as they liked. After a few further observations the matter dropped. Mr O. Simmons, of Northfield End, was appointed Rector’s Warden, and Mr C Lucey and Mr Paulin, the late warden, were nominated for the office of parish warden.  A poll was demanded by Mr Lucey, and the following was the result: Paulin 211; Lucey 92.

Dear Fred

Yours of Aug 29th to hand and contents noted. Re Sealskins and my answer is to accept 18.00 per with as good grace as possible, and Ill be quite content, and try to do better next time.  I note what you say about Behring Sea Catch, and no doubt will tend to improve prices.  Capt Johnston is known as “Jacob” so you can inform the department of this fact, expect to use these licenses next week, and sure will remember to send for yours if necessary.

You’ll kindly have cheque for skin drawn in your favor and deduct charges also 1.15 1.25 owing to yourself and pay in the balance to Bank of Montreal Vancouver.

Im sorry that I did not see you a few days ago, but time was so limited.  Mr Lerser got about ¾ of am down, also an order about $550.00 which no doubt pleased him, when Freddie phoned you I was due at the Olster Wharf to meet Capt Park, and intended getting in touch with you later on, but my wishes did not mature.

[2]

You’ll notice in using a straight few, so excuse any miss q’s.

Business Im glad to say is improving very much, and I look forward to a good fall + winter, the Indians are getting more than usually energetic, owing to a bad fishing season; they appear very eager to commence halibut fishing also Beaver + Martin trapping, and some hand-logging.  Im glad to say that some of the BB Indians fished at Smiths Inlet this year, and the cannery put up a record pack, the high gill net boat had 4300 at 12 ½ cents each

My trip to Vancouver was made for the purpose of bringing up a new 50 ft launch which Mr Robson late of S/S Venture and myself bought in July last, and it was to be ready to be taken over by us on Aug 15th but the party we bought off skinned out and had done nothing to the boat. On my arrival in Vancouver last week, I then placed her in the hands of Chappel Bros Coal Harbour, who promised to have her ready to sail to day the 9th and Mr Robson who is there will bring

[3]

Her up with the assistance of a 35 HP Hercules Engine, also two men.  I trust all will be well, but bad weather is setting in quite early this year, price of fresh halibut should be good next month, and I sincerely hope it will, as unless it is so, its hard to keep the men fishing in bad weather.

The old folks at home will no doubt tell you that I got out that far, and found them ready to move, did not get a chance for a private talk as we were quite a party as usual.

By the way I left a cheque with Charlie Gardiner to be used partly in paying auto hire out of Freddie’s garage.  I hope this was attended to, you might find out please will you?

Well Fred, I’ve had a busy day in the store, also in my official capacity of registrar I married Miss Rosie Stewart to Harry Dumchit Jr who are now man + wife, ah, ah, what next.  Best wishes to all

Yours faithfully Jno

Dear Fred Pauline

To say that I am sorry to hear of your leaving your present position in London to return to BC but [illegible] my feeling – I am very very sorry indeed – I know partly of the reasons for the change but of one thing I am certain + that is that you are leaving a hard task for the next man to follow up if he is to continue

[3]

Well + all your family including your good + genial self. Perhaps for will be glad to lay down the reins of the office + take an easier time I don’t know but it is an honourable post + honourably + well have for filled it + many times have I heard that said of you for here. With every good + kind wish to you + yours + may God Bless you in your retirement.
