“There's absolutely nothing wrong with the ship" Transport Department officials assured The Guardian hero today. "The brief delay has been caused simply by our ship inspectors insisting that everything about the craft must be in top condition and that all her equipment is as near foolproof as possible.

"For this reason it has been de- cided to prolong the already ex- tensive trials of the ferry which have been in progresd for tlho past two weeks. The “Abegweit" will then go to Quebec City for 1n- spectlon in drydock and when this is completed wil1 make the trip

The committee said the limited tax sources available to munici- palities pisoed- them in l. "taxo- tion strait-jacket which makes it impossible for them to assume in whole or in part thrsvor-mount- in: burden of social ices and other mouurel enacted or con- templated by senior sol/ml- ments. - - -" '

The Federation rosffirmod its bollef that Ottowa should recog- nise the right of Oonsdrs muni- cipal govonimsnts to direct sc- cess to the Iisdersi Government. and that in Federal-Municipal matters the munisipsiitios should be taken into negotiation both in tho framing of policy and in its administrative oppliestlon.
