The late Mr. White, who retired several years ago because of ill health, was for many years assoc- iated with the firm of Bruce Stew- art A: Co. Ltd. He learned his trade as a plumber with the old firm of Shaw and Bearisto (later Stanley. Shaw at Pearden).

IPor some years he carried on a dairy business in association with the late Edward Cameron. with whom he also conducted a rest- aurant,

William Aubrey White was the oldest son of the late Edwin White. and the late Adeline C. Fotvie. and is survived by a broth- er. E. Cleveland White. retired C. N.R. station agent, and a sister. Mrs. J. P. Clarke, both of Char- lottetown. '

He leaves to mourn his passing. his wife. nee Margaret B. Semple, and five children. Rev. Edwin J. White of Montreal; Walter White . of the Swift Canadian 00.; Ida. Mrs. Lloyd H.

to the fund by provinces and municipalities as well as the D0- minion. (3) That the Dominion Government permit municipalities to tax Federal Government prop- erty within their boundaries eith- er af. the prevailing municipal tax- rate or a direct charge for mun- icipal services.

The Summerside Mayor said after the meeting that the coun- . cils of both his municipality and of Charlottetown were “solidly be- 5 hind the Federation's proposals",

Summersides Position

"I'm glad to say that in gen- - erai Summerside is not nearly as e badly ofl for housing as most of the municipalities represented ln Ottawa here today. At the same time we could always use low- rental homes in the city."

. Mayor Arnett was enthusiastic - over the proposal that Canadian municipalities be permitted to - levy taxes on Crown-owned W09- erty whether the property was in the right of the Dominion or of the Provinces. Failing permission to tax Crown property at prevail- ing rates. he approved a "service- nt-cost" tax program for such property or a Government grant in lieu oi taxation.

The request that municipalities be permitted t0 tax Crown prop- erty within their boundaries was neither revolutionary nor unusual. rile Summerside Mayor said. He recalled that the Dominion Gov- ernment pays the City of Ottawa a grant of $300,000 yearly in lieu of taxes. and that taxes are paid the Cities of Halifax dnd Saint John on certain selected Crown property owned by the Harbor Conunission and the Canadian National Railways.

Mayor Arnett. said he could not say offhand what the assessment of Federal Government property in Summerslde would amount to. Since it. would include such build- ings as the post office, customs building, armories and other of- fices. it would probably mean a worth-while sum. He’ conceded that Summerside despite its‘ pros- perity could use any extra taxes ivhlch the Federal Government would contribute.

Slimmerside taxpayers according to a recent report issued by Rev- enue Minister Dr. J. J. MoCann. have the highest per capits in- come of any city in Canada.
