Gen. C. A. P. Murison, reeve of North Cowichan and _presi- dent of the Union of B.C. Muni- cipalities, told the UBCM’s 56th annual convention here today Order-in-Council 1171, passed by the provincial cabinet in June, is a major step toward rectifying a “ vexed situation.” Final solution, —_ however, awaits amendments to existing legislation probably next win- ter, he said. The years-old problem stems from the fact that, once a muni- cipality provides water service outside its boundaries, it be- comes subject to Public Utili- ties Commission control. It may be ordered by the PUC to extend the service to all ap- Plicants, a costly New regulations may save expense of fringe water development the responsibility of a munici- pality to expand services. Continued use of trailer homes to escape municipal taxes was criticized here today before the Union of B.C. Municipalities 56th annual convention. UBCM president Reeve C. A. P. Murison of North Cowichan reported that although he had been led to believe a stop gap measure would become effective this year, nothing had happened in Victoria. _ “Mobile homes at present are practically immune from both school and municipal taxation, so much so that manufacturers and distributors of trailers might well adopt as a selling slogan: ‘Buy a trailer and es- cape local taxes’,” Reeve Muri- son said. PGE TAXES No easy solution is at hand, he warned. “But obviously owners of established homes are for which the municipality often must wait many years to pay from water profits, and for which it did not plan. TRAILER TAXES Order-in-Council 1171 now in- tegrates fringe area planning with planning within municipal- ities, thus ensuring orderly growth, and defining in advance having to pay the taxes of those who keep.their homes, and often very costly homes, on wheels.” Later during the conversa- tion, a resolution will be con- sidered asking the provincial government for appropriate ac- tion in the matter. Exemption of the Pacific described here today as “an indirect subsidy not granted to the national railways.” Reeve Murison said, “If a subsidy is needed, and no doubt it is, then it should be openly paid by the provineial govern- men( which owns the railway) and not take the form of com- pulsory, hidden contributions from the municipalities through which the line passes.” While the UBCM has been asking the government for many years to lift the PGE ex- emption, Murison said the only advance made so far was cabinet agreement to exclude industrial concerns in which the government has financial in- terest.
