Bennett today in discussing with representatives of the Trades and Labor Congress of Can- ada its forty sixth annual mam- orsndum of legislation laid before the Prime Minister and his colleag- use.

The subject was one. Premier Ben- nett stated, which must be consider- ed from two standpoints; technical and national. Canada's geographical position, he interjectcd, presented certain difficulties which must be borne in mind in the consideration of the matter from a national view- point. "ZYho cabinet will determine the action to be taken," Mr. Bon- nett stated, "so that steps will be taken at the next session of Por-

Premier Bennett declared, some sup- porting and some pposing national broadcasting.

Old age pensions legislation would also be introduced at the coming ses- sion, tha Prime Minister stated. "The Conservative Party has made its declaration in this matter," Premier Bennett said. The subject was engag- ing the attention of the Govern- ment, and at the omont it would be improper for him to make any declaration. "This is another mat- ter," the Prime Minister declared, "respecting which there will be no cause for any suggestion of delay on the part of the Government in deal- ing with promptly." Grants for tech- nical education will be restored, Pre- mier Bennett assured the delegat- ion. "When in opposition we took the view that technical education grants should be renewed, and we will not depart from that position," he de-

liament." Many letters have been re-

ceived by himself and his ministers, i engaging the attention of the Gov-

clarod. Unemployment insurance was

Gentlemen: Your Committee on Finance leave to report as follows: We have given the most careful consideration to the finances of the City during the past year and while the result is not all that could be de- sired as will be seen by the Annual Statement which shows a. difference of expenditure over revenue of $41,- 378.84, yet when the world depres- sion in business which has prevailed during this period is taken into cou- slderation, our affairs will compare very favorably with cliics of similar

beg

or even larger populations and much greater sources of revenue.

Our deficit, if such it can be call- od, has been caused by an increased expenditure of $10,324.72 over 1929 and a shrinkage in revenue due to uncollected taxes to the amount of $50,345.72, which includes $12,791.13 Stroetnnd Sidewalk tax, not hereto-

{fore shown. It also includes the sum ‘of $20,000.00 which was borrowed last ‘year 1n lieu of outstanding taxes and which has been paid in this year's accounts and is no. longer a liability on the City. Had this precedtn of borrowing money in lieu of uncol- lected taxes been followed, we could

To the Members of the Council of the City of Charlottetown. dcntlemenw-

With the close of the year 1930, the Corporation of the City of Char- lottetown has passed through another year of continued progress. Q

The past year 11.2.". been one, you] might say, of astounding advance-l merit in the way of building in the City of Charlottetown, with the 1 practical completion of the new Can- adian Notional Hotel which is be- yond doubt, one of the finest build- Ings in the Maritime Provinces, also The Charlottetown Ice Forum, which has just been completed and com- pares favorably with any artificial Ice Rink cast of Montreal, The Tele- phone Companyh new office build- ing, The Island Fertilizer Plant, and a new business block for Stanley, Shaw 8c Pearden; The near com- pletion of the Provincial Sanatcrlum and negotiations have been complet- ed whereby a new annex to the City building will be erected in the year 1931.

The usual amount of Asphalt street improvement has been carried out; during the year.

The various departments of Civic Government have functioned in the proper manner-all working in the best interest of the City.

The reports of the various com- mittees will be submitted to you in detail. These reports require time, energy, and thought. The work of all departments has received care-

izens. Trying Period

The Finance Department has pass- ed through a very trying year andi it is no fault of Chairman Foster, that the accounts do not show a sur-i plus. If our citizens realized their; responsibility to their representoq tlves, they would have paid their; taxes before the 31st day of Decemw her, as the amount of the Taxes out- ‘ standing far exceeds the deficit, had’ they been paid the Finance Com-i mittee could have shown a splendid‘ surplus.

work of the Street Committee under

Chairman McDougall and his Com- mittee, who have had this work in charge.

Cur Police Department under Chief Birtwistle has maintained its wonderful reputation. All the offic- ers are to be congratulated on their appearance and attention to their many duties. We have every right to be proud of this department which maintains its efficiency at all times. This department is under the guid- ance of Chairman Holman who gives. most unsparingly of his time and to'
