ports, has come. to rest, at
least for the time being, in the

retired at Curteis Point, this
46’ ketch ranks in the annals of
sail along with such famous
names.as Gypsy Moth IV,
Lively Lady and: Trekka. All
have at least one thing in:
common -- they have circled
the globe under sail.

Tzu Hang had.an ill-starred
birth. Her keel mould burst at
the first pouring, sending
seven. tons of molten lead
skittering around the shipyard

campaign on behalf of the farmers for relief from farm-
land taxation for school purposes.

Action sparked by council’s agricultural committee

will enlist the support of Vancouver Island Association

of Municipalities with view

tation at the forthcoming UBCM conference.

It is proposed. that farmers
shall pay school taxes only on the
farm dwelling and its site.

‘“‘Maybe the government’s
archaic attitude and approach to
school taxation can be changed.
This might be the thin end of the
wedge to have school taxes
removed altogether as a charge

on land,’ said committee
chairman Alderman Ted
Clayards.

. ‘Have you any supplementary

‘recommendation. as ‘to: where

school taxes could come from?”’
enquired Alderman Don
MacLaurin.

Alderman Clayards agreed
that the alternative must be.a tax.

based on income, but mentioned

‘that according to a land study it

had been said that removal of the.

tax on land would result in a 25
per cent increase of income tax.

“Of it is true, I’m ‘afraid that mi n
government would «put ..

“Yq also hope that this resolution

could be a wedge leading. to a
