NO ACCIDENTS City police report all was quite

City Police are hoping for a quiet Hallowe’en this year but Deputy Police Chief Sterns Web- ster, who is acting in the ab- sence of Chief MacArthur, said yesterday every effort will be made to keep in subjection the small minority of thoughtless youngsters who do not seem to have regard for the property of others. ‘

This year he will seek the co- operation of some ten provosts from the Army. Every* member of the force will be on" duty and fifteen patrol cars with. two of- ficers in each will kes a con- stant watch in suspected trouble areas of the City. |

On the other hand, he asser- ted that anyone caught in acts of vandalism will be given no al- ternative but to be taken in and give an account of their actions in either the juvenile or magis- trate’s court. -

The police will co-operate with service organizations who are; already planning Hallowe'en par- ties for the children. “We want everybody to enjoy themselves, so long as they do not do it at the expense of damaged proper- ty’, Deputy Chief Webster con- cluded. ° ‘ r

Thus it will be possible to drive from St. John’s to Victoria—with ferry crossings of Cabot —Strait and the Strait of Georgia — 138 miles of the distance being through national parks in New foundiand, Alberta and British Columbia.

The federal government pays the entire cost on sections run- ning through national parks. Elsewhere, it pays half the cost of Trans-Canada standard high- way, and 90 per cent for complet- ing vital gaps, up to 10 per cent of a province’s mileage.

QUEBEC ON OWN

Quebec is not taking part in the program on grounds that the federal government has no place in the highway field) However, a direct 400 - mile provincial route across Quebec will link Ontario and New Brunswick.

Federal payments to provinces

thus far have totalled $200,000. 000, and these will rise to $312, 000,000 when projects already ap- proved have been completed. ', Total cost of the two-lane, -wide- shouldered highway may be about $600,000,000 or about twice the original estimate.

Prior to the Second World War about a million visitors came to the National Parks of Canada, and last year the total exceeded for millions, Approximately 80 per cent of these Visitors have been Canadians, and the great bulk of the remaining 20 per cent crossed our southern bord- er from the U.S.A.

The facilities of the Island Nat- fonal Park were taken advant. age of by 21,375 persons last year as compared with 14,000 the pre- vious _year and 3,651 in 1955, and that clearly shows the trend, Mr. Kipping said.

lar mark from these three sour- ces. During the year the city has collected $123,670 in tax ar- rears, a considerable. increase from the $57,899 collected in ar- rears during the same period in

to 1958. This marked increase is due

to taxes from government prop erty, it is explained.

In spite of arrears of taxes collected during the past few years, outstanding taxes still pre- sent a_formidable figure. They are as follows: education and former poll tax, $190.150; per- sonal property $160,935 and real estate $195,044.

Some of these taxes have heen of long standing and a§ a result will have to be written off as uncollectible but efforts put forth to collect unpaid taxes during the past three years have resul- ted in getting accounts squared as far back as 1934.
