Storm Clouds Gather - For Next Council Meet

Arising out of a rumored sharp increase in City tax rates a storm of protest is expected to develop in the local Council chamber next Tuesday evening. »

Sparked by the resignation of Frank Storey as chairman of the Town Planning Committee the coming tempest gained edded fury yesterday with the ev-TPC committee chairman's statement that rejection of his committee's proposal to access levy a $600 surcharge on lots developed in the area west of the North River Road would mean a tax boost of possibly one third the present rate.

Councillor H.E. “Hyndman and | Councillor .William Boyles said “they would attempt to have the matter clarified at next Tuesday's meeting. :

Coun. H.E. Hyndman said yes-

sonable amount. He explains that this is how the $600 amount was arrived at.

AGREED TO CHARGE

Mr. Storey states: that while his committee had the proposal under consideration almost all of the property owners involved were interviewed and although there was difference of opinion regarding the amount to be char- ged, all agreed that they pfrould share in the development" costs.

Mr. Storey yesterday expressed the fear that city taxes would have to be increased by one-third if the city assumes the entire de- velopment costs. This he said would drive business and indus- try from the city, leaving the bulk of the tax load to be paid by residential property owners.

He contended that all munici-

terday that the voted for the

palities look for the larger por-

resolution at the last meeting of| tion of their taxes from business council, which provided for the} and industry and if’ such a situa- property development, on condi-| tion were to arise, the city’s fin-

tion that the general tax rate. would not be increased as a re- sult.

He said he has not received a satisfactory answer from Fin- ance Chairman Gaudet on this matter and unless Coun. Gaudet is able to assure him of no tax increase, the councillor declared he will ask that the motion deal- ing with acceptance .of the town planning committee report be re- scinded. Coun.

(Continued from page 1)

to make it clear that building a road across the waters of the Northumberland Strait is not quite so simple as constructing an equal stretch of Trans-Can- ada Highway over, say, the flat Saskatchewan Prairie.

There are many interests, fre- quently conflicting, to be care- fully weighed; many novel prob- lems to be settled, including these:

Will a solid causeway affect the tides? Will it destroy the val- uable fisheries? Will it cause erosion of the adjoining shore- line? Should the causeway also carry the railroad?

UP TO $120 MILLION

Studies covering all these points and others have had to be prepared: now the recom- mendations are being co-ordin- ated by the consulting engineers. The only sure point, which needs no study, is that the causeway . will bring a boom to P.E.I.’s | ‘tourist industry, now , lagging through grossly inadequate ferry services.

The cost is estimated to run between $70 million and $120 mil- lion.

COMPLEX PROBLEMS

The water in the Northumber- land Strait, between P.E.I. and the mainland, reaches a maxi- mum depth of 85 feet. An em- bankment must be built cap- able of carrying an all-weather road across this 9 mile gap.

This is a more complex en- gineering problem than excavat- ing, say, the St. Lawrence Sea- , way to a depth of 27 feet, Dr. | Phillips pointed out. One is a construction job; the other an | always simpler destruction job.

The best answer to the many problems appears to lie in a rock-based and rock-fronted em- bankment, with intermittent | | gaps through which the tides may | flow, ships sail, fish swim and even no doubt lobsters crawl. High level bridges would perman- ently span these gaps.

START BY 196) |

The necessary transportation and ‘placing of 180 million tons of granite, in 12-ton hunks, on the sea bed poses serious prob- lems. These, according to Dr— Phillips, are likely

j

to be solved by land transportation at either end, coupled with boat-lifting of the rock into the centre stretches

The projected 23-month sur- vey period, launched by the Conservative Government in January of last year, compares favorabiy with the 20 vears over which studies for the St. Law- rence Seaway were dragged out.

Construction should start in| the spring of 1961, thus allowing | time for Canada’s smaller con- tractors, including two well- known in P.E.L, to amalgamate to participate,

Work will take perhaps five | years, thus substantiating the | forecast made by this bureau last} {June that “the over-sea road | will be in use within ten years’’.

Delayed Bequest Pleasing

Declares YMCA

A.H. Duvar,

Charlottetown YMCA board of governors last niglit expressed ap- preciation of the executive and members of the organization for the manner in which its work was recognized in the will of the late D.J. Bonnell.

Mr. Duvar said that Mr. Bon- nell’s gererosity was not surpris- ing in view of the interest he had shown in the “Y” while ‘living here.

However, Mr. Duvar pointed out that it might be some con- siderable time before the “Y”’ would benefit from the bequests of its latest benefactor.

The specific bequest of $5,000 remains with the estate during the lifetime of a donor's wife, while the residue, of which the

|*Y” was willed 50 per cent, will

remain intact during the lifetime of his daughter.

Mr. Bonnell died early last March in Vancouver where he had resided since 1944.

He had operated a chain of home. furnishing stores:in Glace Bay, Sydney and North Sydney.

|and lived ih both Sydney ° and

Charlottetown before moving to Vancouver. A brother of Rev. Dr. J.S. Bon-
