Delany endorsed the library extension program put forward, which will mean construction of a central library with branch li- braries distributed throughout the city, as necessary to place library facilities within the reach of all of the people of Vancou- ver. “Vancouver’s sewer facilities should be improved and atten- tion paid to the provision of sewers in built-up areas before installations are made in new sub-divisions,” Delany stated, commenting on a civic works pro- gram. “Water mains are badly in need of modernization, to as- sure an adequate flow of water in all areas for domestic as well as protective purposes.” A large-scale school building and extension program was stres- sed as important to meeting needs of Vancouver’s growing population, and Delany stated the minimum requirement as 15 new schools as well as modern- izing of existing schools and ad- dition of annex establishments. Pointing out that refunding of the civic debt at substantially reduced interest rates will re- duce debt service charges, El- moderate reduction would mean the saving of at least one mil- lion dollars a year.

Ruddell stated that a review of civic assessments with labor representatives on the assess- ment board was essential to as- sure that business and other commercial properties will be as- sessed on a fair basis. He stated that present assessments on large business enterprises are a “closely guarded secret,” and urged opening of assessment rolls for examination and revision. In closing, both Ruddeli and Delany stated that the Labor- Progressive Party will fight to lift the intolerable burden of taxation that is at present borne by small home-owners, and by non-revenue producing establish- ments, with the transfer of the main burden to those best able to pay. Establishment of the ward system and reorganization of the council were urged to pro- vide equitable representation for all areas and a proper distribu- tion of civic services to meet the needs -of the broad mass of the people of Vancouver. “MOVING-TRANSFER” ASH BROTHERS CARTAGE 2239 CAMBIE — FA. 0469 Give Books This Year for.

At the same time the LPP must con- tinue to sharpen its critical fire against the CCF leadership, who by their demagogic and irrespon- sible post-election pronounce- ments, clearly intend to pursue’ the same suicidal path of social- democratic betrayal of the inter- ests of the people,” Morgan -stat- ed. Turning his fire against the Coalition \ Government, Morgan scored its failure to do anything about reconversion of shipyards and other war industries, vacil- lation and weakness in its -pol- icy relating to public ownership of hydro-electric and steel re- sources, its playing into the hands of Drew and Duplessis to undermine the Dominion-Provin- cial Conference last August, as ominous signs unless labor can rally its forces and weld a solid united front against the offens- ives of big business. Morgan warned that constitut- ed changes in taxation powers and administration of Dominion- Provincial relations will meet with opposition from this prov- ince’s government, and caution- ed that the program for a na- tional labor code, minimum wages, and improved social and health legislation cannot’ be launched without first resolving inter-governmental relationships. “An indication of added tory pressure is to be found in the coalition’s betrayal of the prin- ciple of public ownership of Bri- tish Columbia’s public utilities,” Morgan stated. “As the LPP warned, the coalition government has successfully sabotaged public acquisition of the light and pow- ethat public ownershiy | er system at this 7 hour.
