be the most urgent problem on the minds of the mayors of Canadian towns and cities when they met here today for the sixim annual conference of the Canadian Feder- ation of Mayors and Municipalities. Mayor J. W. Cornett of Vancou- ver, whose city experienced a fuel shortage last. winter, was the most vigorous in pressing for action on the fuel problem but other mayors joined higi. anticipating shortages in the coming winter. ‘The executive committee came with preparations for a full dis- cussion of post-war reconstruction and a comprehensive brief for pre- sentation, after approval by the conference, to the Parliamentary Committee on Reconstruction. On the first day of the three- day conference, however, the im- mediate fuel problem overshadowed the future reconstruction problem and the conference after a short brisk discussion set up a special committee on that subject. Members of the special Fuel Com- mittee with Mayor Ccrnett include: Mayor Lucien Bourne, Quebec; Mayor R. Brunet. Hull. Que", May- or John Maclean. Sydney. NS: Mayor J. Wheian, Newcastle, NB. The conference welcomed a dele- gation 01' United States mayors and municipal officials. headed b?

A black market existed in wood, complained Mayor Paul Pratt of Longcuil, Que, who said loads of wood worth $5 were selling for $20.

“We have lots of fuel in Cape Bre- ton but we can't get it off the is- land," said Mayor John Maciean of Sydney, N. S.

He said if there was a bridge over the Strait of Canso fuel shipments would be a lot easier and he hoped other municipalities would support in 13love for a bridge to the main- Bli .

The draft brief for the recon- struction committee dealt with mu- nicipul problems as they may be affected by the post-war recon- struction period and the assistance municipalities can give. It asked for a widening of municipal powers in respect to taxation and suggested municipalities in all provinces be permitted to build up reserve funds now for expenditure on works de- velopments after the war.

Mayor John Lloyd of Halifax ob- jected to the reserve funds proposal in the brief and to its receiving ap- proval without further discussion. l-ie urged the setting up of a highly competent permanent post-war lwmmltY/Be. chosen on the basis of I kgowiegge _and ability rather than lzentlltiolifla o’ geugmpmcal repre‘
