Pleads For Tax Exemption For

Nursing Homes

The necessity of exempting nu:- sing homes as well as hospitals from civic taxation was empire sized in the Legislature yesterday by Hen. Dr. W. J. P. MaoMillan. who spoke of the increasing de- mands involved in hospital man- agement and maintenance under present conditions. .-

The Charlottecown Incorporation Act already provides for exemption tohospitals, and in the bill now before the Legislature the Cit; council's discretionary power to exempt is extended to nursing homes as well. The amendment passed second reading yesterday without opposition.

"When our two hospitals in Charlottetown are complete they will be worth about a million doi- lare each," Dr. Maeitfillan said. "They are monuments to the char» ity of our people. and they M" been maintained by 01"‘ 119°01'- with splendid generosity."

I-fe referred to the 1on8 118111 1° obbin government assistance fer hospitals, beginning with the $51" grants made under the Msthicson Government at Dr. MacMlllat-ts request in 9914. when ht W115 P1"- vincial health officer. Later under the Stewart Government the grants were increased to 031.0011- then to $3.000. Under the Camp- bell Government they were rel-ted twice to $8.000 to each hospital.

Dr. Macmillan referred to the shortage of nurses -both in the Unihd Mates and Canada, but said this Province has been lor- tunate. "We are stilt-mi ""115" recruits from our own fsrailiu m Rims lfwani Island to develol! qua own nurses. and I want. to to the homes of this Province um for were he" 119°" sending ue such splendid younl wanted. ‘lbw Divot be 1011 1~1 the 11mins profusion e d I 3g a they ten t» earliest“-

as a school tezleher. - Connected vxitlt the City Hus- pithi are the old Navy Ixngue building, the Stewart property am‘. the Morris property. all occupied by nurses in training and by Sis ters who nre port of the hospital training staff.

"We have not paid any taxes or. these properties up to the present." he said, “but the hospitals have received bills for taxes forr the nursing home and I feel that this amendment is a very proper one. providing for exemption. Where the Provincial Government has done so ivell. I hope the City will follow their example."
