Astep inthe right direction of
relieving municipalities of
financial burdens over which
they ave no control, is the way
the UBCM Executive felt about
the provincial government's
agreeing to assume the full
costs of provincial courts.
“While full and exact details
have not yet been ..com-
municated to the UBCM, ‘and
“therefore the immediate and
long range effects of the change
cannot be‘assessed accurately,
two important aspects are
noteworthy. First, the ab-
sorption of all lower court cosls
by the province has been
requested annually for several
years in resolutions endorsed by
the UBCM conventions.
Second, before announcing the
change and before completing
the ‘details, Attérney-General
Alex MacDonald discussed the
-subject in depth with UBCM
President Mayor Ross Marks,
First Vice-President Mayor
Kay, Grovhel, and Executive
Director Jeff McKelvey. The
. AG also asked them to place the
‘proposals before the full
Executive for discussion and-
_ recommendations.’

‘Al a special meeting called .

to .diseuss the subject, the
Executive. expressed some
* reservations,
subsequently been - banded | to
the A.G. Among these is the
request that court revenues
from allfines levied for local
.by-law infractions shall be
returned to each municipality
concerned.
municipalities affected should
be reimbursed al fair market
value.for court facilities and
equipment they may have built
or. bought, or may. be leasing,
‘and which will be required by
the- government under the new
format. A third
municipal costs incurred’ to
provide juvenile’ remand ac-
commodation also be borne by’
the government. Fourth is that
all personnel, union and non-
union; taken. over by the
government in this context shall
keep their present salaries or be
given civil service salaries
‘whichever is higher; and that
when municipaily-employed
probation officers are used their |
services shall be paid for by the
