IN KAMLOOPS. The labor eos in this fokovinr ety has named two candidates for municipal office. Lance Randall (left), was nominated for alderman in North Kamloops. Mrs. C. E. McInnes, secretary of the council (also shown above), was nominated for an aldermanic seat in Kamloops. New civic policies essential says Morgan Cont'd from page 7 solve the municipal financial crisis and lighten the munici- pal ratepayers’ burden are:— (1) Increased Aid From Se- nior Governments: Establish- ment of a “Municipal Devel- opment Fund” through which the federal government would loan the municipalities money at cost for essential services (public works, slum clearance, traffic facilities, housing etc.); federal gov- ernment assumption of the cost of elementary education; provincial government as- sumption of 50% of the bal- ance of school costs; increased grants by the provincial treas- ury for traffic, hospital and ‘welfare services; maintenance of Unemployment Insurance as long as workers are with- out jobs; extension by the federal government to home- owners of the right to deduct municipal taxes from income tax returns (already allowed corporations, apartment house owners, etc.) (2) Measures to Shift The Tax Load: Insist the Provin- cial gov’t. carry through its promise to increase the Home- Refreshments owner Grant to $100; Estab- lisiment of a $2,000 exemp- tion for residential properties to apply after deduction of the provincial Homeown=r Grant increased business tax revenues on qa graduated basis to protect the small business; a thorough and complete re- assessment of all properties to obtain equity, with incorpora- tion of the essential methods, factors and system of determ- ining values and assessments embodied into a public guide rule on which assessment ap- peals can be made. The struggle for such changes is of vital interest to all working people. What is needed for their achievement is broad, popular united ac- tion by trade unionists, farm- ers, ratepayers, members of the New Democratic and Communist Parties, boldly -d- vancing a program of ‘ar- reaching reforms and fighting to elect representatives to council and school boards to carry them forward.

Wylie had publicly stated that Van- couver aldermen were “un- cultured”’. In his letter, Rankin stated: “This council, of course, has been so able that they are now in a position where & little accurate criticism net- tles them to the point where they are going to fire people for making what is probably the most honest observation that has been made about them in a long time.” He ridiculed statements like those of alderman Frank Press Drive closes The Annual PT Sub Drive closed on Nov. 30 with re- sults still far below our tar- get of 1900 subs.
