Last week Victoria Labor Council passed a_ resolution calling upon the provincial and federal governments to bear the cost of education and sent a letter to that effect to the city council. The reason for these latest developments in the popular struggle to obtain tax relief from mounting school costs lies in the fact that the lower Vancouver Island region ig feeling the tax pinch first be- cause of the high concentra- tion of older people with lim- ited means, its Weak industrial base, its lower wage scale in comparison with the rest of the province, tourist prites, and tax concessions granted to industry. Last December the Victoria school district defeated a five- year school bylaw for ‘$5,600,- 000 and was the only district in B.C. to do so. A pared- down bylaw for $4,600,000 was re-submitted, in March and barely passed by less than one percent majority after a vote which saw Victoria city section of the school district vote against the bylaw.
