This yeer’s budget, while markedly higher than last year's figure, offers at least some hope of relief. The enlarged school district has a broader tax base from which to draw its revenues, instead of the hard pressed tax payers of Terrace who have fong looked enviously at neighboring, indus- try-rich Prince Rupert and Kitimat. The further announcement by edu- cation minister L, R, Peterson of a more equitable distribution of taxes is welcome news to this area, While Mr. Petersan’s statement is necessarily vague before changes in the Public Schools Act, there ‘= reasonable assurance of hope of some "~ to the local school board which has in... post done a highly creditable Gues: editorial Who needs hydro?

Certainly, we can expect no educa- tional bonanza in the year 1968 and it is reasonably safe to predict no sudden drop in taxes, But the. enlarged school district and the Peterson pledge in the B.C. legistlature at least promise a brighter future for our children - here, cessive tax burden on local ratepayers. with such conditions.
