Saint John Not To Benefit By Grants

SAINT JOHN. N.B.. Nov. 29 — Opinion was expressed today that saint John will receive nothing un- der the Federal plan for grants to municipalities in lieu of taxation on Federal properties.

The opinion came from Mayor E. W. Patterson and executive direct- or E. Hayden Colter at a City Council meeting after their return from Toronto sessions of the exe- cutive of the Canadian Federation of Mayors and Municipalities.

The executive appointed Mr. Cotter chairman of a ccmmittec set up to devise a formula “which would contain equity and fairness for all municipalities in Canada." This formula is being withheld un- til its presentation to federal authorities.

Mayor Patterson said the Feder- ation had oonciuded that only 1t) or 12 municipalities would benefit from the gratits. It also agreed “that the cost of providing mutil- clpal services to Federal-owned property was properly a. charge which belonged to the country as a whole and not to the ratepayers of the mutiicipallties where federal property was located."

Alberta Heard 0n Freight Rates

OTTAWA. Nov. 29 ~70?) ____a1- berta complained to the Royal Commission on Transportation to- day that the freight-rate structure retards some secondary industry in that Province.

A brief front the Alberta Govern- ment listed industries lilt by freight rates as livestock processing. pet- roleum refining. vegetable canning, wool processing. soap manufactur- ing and leather goods and tanning. For Alberta. Hu Harries of Ed- monton. economic adviser to the Provincial Government. said aibout 40 per cent of Alberta's livestock was sent out of the Province for processing. and freight rates were largely responsible for this "untie- sirable" situation.

He explained rates on meat were so much higher than those on live- stock that it was cheaper to ship Alberta animals out of the Province than to slaughter and process them

Oats prices attracted good com- Nam,

mercial demand on the Winnipeg l

Grain Exchange today. There was

considerable buying from shippers

and United States interests which (Continued from Page l)

kept the trade active and allowed prices to maintain a steady under- tone.

Offerings‘ in oats were liberal and well-taken. as was the case in barley trade also. Trade in barley was moderately active, Despite light offerings, the barley trade closed firm.

Rye shpwed some United States selling and some local buying, btit no advances were scored ancl trade was not active.

Flax was listless for the most part, but slight demand forced closing prices up a little above yes- terday's mark.

Closing quotations:

The saving of money from that l4 miles would pay for constrttc- tlon of the necessary new btidgfi at the crossing point over the North River.

The slow-moving discussion on the highway was followed by an equally quiet debate on dctaiis o! a bill under which the Govern- ment proposes to reduce down payments for prospective home- owners and carry out a housing program in co-operaticm with the Provinces.

Members gave no indication that they hope to reach the prorogation date tentatively set by Prime Min- ister St. Laurent for this Saturday. Dec. 3. The feeling among mem- bers appeared to be that unless some of the items are dropped from the heaviLv-ladcri ordvr pa- per the session will be prolonged iii/to next week.
