DRAFT RESOLUTION

RCM SES

That the following resolution be forwarded to the Union of
British Columbia Municipalities for submission to the September, 1975
Convention:

"WHEREAS Section 381A of the Municipal Act provides that a
Council may by by-law provide for the payment of such real property taxes
as may be designated in the by-law by monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual
installments;

AND WHEREAS Subsections 6 and 7 of the said Section 381A provide
for an automatic exemption from such a by-law by any person who so
requests;

AND WHEREAS it is thought desirable to have such provision for

automatic exemption eliminated in order that an efficient system of

installment tax payments may be instituted by the those municipalities
desiring to do so;

NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Provincial Government be

requested to amend Section 381A of the Municipal Act by repealing Sub-

sections 6 and 7 thereof thereby continuing the present provision for the
installment collection of taxes without the automatic exemption therefrom

granted by the said Subsections 6 and 7 to any persons so requesting."
