CANADIAN MUNICIPALITIES PIOCUSS NOVEL MEASURE Would Put a Tax on the Real Estate Prof- its Made Throughout the Dominion on These Transactions. At a recent convention of the Canadian Municipalities, held in Saskatoon, Alta. Controller Church, of Toronto, had a good deal to say about Canadian high- Ways and in the course of his speech said that Canada was far behind other coun- tries in the making of good roads, and advocated the making of a road from coast to coast. Hedid not spare tke Ganadian Senate on their action of throwing out the highways bill He claims the Dominion government should build the trunk lines and the provinces and mnnicipalities the local and Jatteral lines. Alderman G. H. May, the Edmonton representative at the convention, was re- sponsible for the following resulution in regard to the taxing of real estate profits throughout the Dominion. “Whereas the developement and expen- ditures on public improvement have been tremendous in all Canadian towns and cities, and, “Whereas, the possibilities of procuring the money for the continuance of such public work is beginning to decrease because of a tightness of money all over the world, and, “Whereas, the expenditures have been immensely enhancing the value of urban lots directly affected by such improve- ment and adjacent thereto, and, “Whereas, these added values have formed the reason fora great deal of speculation, etc., “Be it therefore, resolved, that this convention believe the time is ripe for the application of the principle of an in- crement tax on the profits madeon the sale of real estate in excess of the assess- ed value for which such reality may be taxed by the municipality in which it is located,so that the communities of Cana- da who are making such real estate de- sirable and valuable by the undertaking of improvements, may reap some of the benefits by lessening the debts which have been incurred in the progress of their public improvements.
