it placed the Council in a very awkward position since the City had no working agreement with the Bureaus simply because they (the Council) had no wvarkilng agreement‘ with the Government.

In reviewing the history of negotiations with the the Provincial Government Coun- cillor Gaudet recalled that the previous Council had made an agreement with the Gov-. ernment to the effec-t that they would become responsible for . payments to the bureaus and in turn would be recom-pensed by the Government to the ex- tent of 50 per cent of their out- la .

3Af»ter signing the agreement Councillor Gaudet said, they discovered that of the money spent for welfare agencies in the Province, the Federal Gov- ernment was paying 40 per cent. the Provincial Governm-en-t 10 per cent and the City. 50 per cent.

"We were sold a bill of goods”, he said. .

Councillor G. R. Foster said that when the previous finance committee met with the Gov-- ernment the terms of the ori- ginal agreement were rpudiat- ed

Mayor Johnstone said the for- mer Council had entered in-to this agreement on good faith and “were taken for a ride”.

NON—POLITICAL BODY

Speaking briefly Mr. Storey said, “It is not sufficient that eight or nine Ci-ty Councillors or others wait on the senior govern- ment to have our civic policy re- cognized. We will be only doing our duty if we press for re- cognition either in acceptance or rejection. We are a non-political body and -have a voice which must be heard.”

Charges Gross

“It will be noted too that later. on the visit to Charlottetown of the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon. John G. Diefenbaker, he pointed out in a public address carried over CFCY here that “with such additional grant of $21/2 millions of dollars to this Province from the federal treasury for the next four years it should be possible for the Provincial Government to give assistance to the various municipalities in order to relieve them from the load that rests upon them today wherein real property -is taxed to such an ex- tent that the holder of real pro- perty finds it more and more in- expedient to own such property.

BRIEF PRESENTED

Subsequent to all this the Fed- eration of P. E. I. Municipali- ties, speaking unani-mously for its members, namely Charlottetown, Summerside, Souris, Montague, Kensington, Alberton, George- town and Borden, waited on the Premier and Provincial Treas- urer and presented a comprehen- sive brief asking the Provincial Government for a long overdue increase in our per capita grant, and by way of our share of such additional $2%. millions annual- ly, to $11.25. which would have amounted only to 10 per cent of the additional grant for this 31 per cent of the Island’s people.

“If such had been granted it would still. all told, have only seen 2.83 per cent of the new total federal grant to this Pro- vince passed on to Charlottetown with its 17.8 per cent of the Pro- vincial population, and only 5.21 per cent of ra 11 the municipali- ties with their 31 per cent of pro- vincial population.

"Surely that request of the municipalities of this Province was a reasonable one, asking

"Accordingly, faced at City Hall with estimated increased ex- penditures for 1958 of $165,908.60,

Birchwood High School, and with

hike in the civic tax rate from 2.75 to 3.19. your Council felt sim- ilarly justified in including in its 1958 estimated revenues such ad- ditional increased provincial per capita grant.

“Then we sat back and waited for the Legislature to meet and the Budget to be brought down by our own City representative - Provincial Treasurer B. Earle MacDonald, himself a former Mayor of our City, and surely one, you would think, who would know first hand the problems fac- ing our provincial municipali- ties today.

N. B. AND N. S. ASSIST

“Down came the New Bruns- wick budget, and in the spirit of such additional federal govern- ment grant, saw an additional cash payment of $1,269,327 hand- ed out to assist the N. B. Muni- cipalities.

“Down came the Nova Scotia Budget, and in that same spirit the N. S. Provincial Government passed on $1,000,000 to their municipalities.

“Down too, finally, came the Prince Edward Island budget, but not a penny of increase In per capita grants was passed on to our municipalities in this Pro- vince, with our Provincial Gov- ernment grabbing the whole $21/2 millions for itself, and accord- ingly breaking faith with the Fed- eral Government and with the spirit behind such ‘additional

grants.

LAME EXCUSE

"And then, as it were, to add insult to injury, it came up with the lame excuse that it had no knowledge 'of any intention be- hind such additional grants to aid our municipalities.

“Another reason City Hall awaited the recent Session of the Provincial Legislature was re the amalgamation of the City of Charlottetown and Spring Park. “Two long years of study and effort by the Metropolitan Com- mittee resulted in last Novem- ber’s plebiscite whereby the vil- lage of Spring Park voted almost unanimously to amalgamate with Charlottetown.

AGREED TO PAY

“When this takes place the Provincial Government is auto- matically relieved of numerous financial responsibilities in that village; and following negotiat- ions between all concerned it was agreed that the Provincial Government would pay over to the City of Charlottetown in lieu thereof the ‘sum of $22,500 for a period of the next 10 years. ‘‘This we were told would re- quire legislative approval and in correspondence with City Hall following that plebiscite the Pre- mier promised that his Govern- ment would so recommend to the next session of our Provincial Legislature.
