S'side Canadian. Legion Branch Annual Meeting
-Maior Francis MscNeiu was
elected president of the Canadian Legion B. E. 8. L. Summerside Branch at the annual meeting held last night at the Legion home. The retiring president. Charles Hogan, occupied the chair. The other officers t -' were: Honorary president, L1,. Col. Dr. J. A. MacPhae; 1st vice- presidsnt, Dr. Hubert Mscbleill; 2nd vice-president, Dr. Hillard Clark; sergeant-at-arms, Arthur Carney.
The Summersids branch at last, night's meeting unanimously vot- ed to sponsor a corps of the Roy- al Canadian Navy Sea Vadets.
The matter of sponsoring this movement was introduced by comrade Roland Phillpson who stated that the Legion, while it had fulfilled all its obligations to the veterans, had not so far spon- sored a movement to benefit the youth of the town. He pointed outfthe many advantages which would accrue to the youth from the ages of 14 to 18 who would care to join the Navy League and that here in Summer-side there was an ideal harbour admirably suited to lend itself to such a project.
The retiring president, Charles Hogan, was appointed as chair- man of a committee to under- take the sponsorship of such a program and with power to add two members to form a com- mittee to carry out the project.
total expenditures, on a per pupil basis, and in comparison with com-l parable communities in the Mari- tlmes. There is a great deal of factual information on assessment valuations, tax rates and bondedi debts by years and communities; and all of the figures are present-' ed as a background for study and in substantiation of the conclusions expressed. The Report is carefull tol, emphasize, however, that alll statistical analyses must be con- sidered aiong with and in the light of other conditions having a bear- ing on the matter in question. The need for up-to-date revision of the, tables from time to time is also pointed out. i
No attempt will be made here to repeat the details contained in the? Report. Rather, the following high- lights have been summarized from the Report with the thought that they should be of interest to Char-i lottetown citizens and could Weill form the basis for further study,
and discussion. I, V i

The Charlottetown school system' has not engaged in any capital ex-y pendlture that assumed major pro- portions during the past 75 years. In 1877 Prince Street School was purchased for 523,000 and West Kent School was built at a cost of? sl-M51. Thirty years ago six room annexes were added to both schoolsi at a. cost of sl8,000 each. In 1887' the first of two additional build-i ings, both of which still continue- to be rented, was obtained on a rental basis. The aggregate of the annual rentals of this building, exclusive of the equipment and maintenance costs, over the 75- year period amounts to 3145.984; the currently yearly rental is 53.844. The' second building so acquired has been rented since 1917. During' the course of this 35-year rental period a total of 375,629 has been paid for its use, the current annual rental being 53,000. A grand totall of 3211.813 has been paid for rent alone for school space by successive school boards over the past 75 years.
Total expenditure from all sources on public education in 1050 in Charlottetown was approximate- ly 5200.000, the City contributing 8ll0,000 and the Provincial Govern- ment 876,000. The distribution of these monies was 9692 for current expenses, 89!; for debt service and 191; for capital outlay. This dis- tribution indicates that the Char- lottotown school system is in a
. , 4... so nu. as its pre t indebtedness is con- cerned. This is a great asset to Charlottetown as it faces a build- ing program that will require as- suming cdnsiderable debt.
While the real measure of a school system is and should be the educational return for each dollar spent and not whether the com- munity is spending more or less than other school systems, it is interesting to note that in spend- ing 090.75 per pupil in 1949 Char- lottetown ranked sixth among nine Maritime communities compared. The expenditure provided by Char- lottetown itself, s5s.59'per pupil. was approximately one-half the amount raised locally by the city ranking first.

In another comparison of eleven Maritime oommu '” in 1940 it was found that Charlottetown ranked eleventh in average per capita levy for all municipal pur- pone including schools, tenth in average per capita levy for school urposes only, and seventh in per- centage of total school budget rais- ed locally. This in spite of the fact that Charlotteto as ranked first in average income among the top ten Maritime cities and towns in 1947, and first in assessed value of pro-
During the past 20 years the estimated school tax rate on as- sessed valuation of real and per- sonal property in Charlotte is has varied from 20 cents to 85 cents with an average of 55 cents. At the same time the percentage of the total tax dollar spent on educa- tion in Charlottetown has averaged 20.2 While this percentage of the total tax dollar spent on education has varied between 14 and 20. it stood at exactly in .1832 and 1952. These figures are significant when it. is considered that it is usual for a community to spend 30 to soqt of its total municipal budget on education. In a comparison of 10 Maritime communities in IMO, when Chariottetowns estirmted school tax rate of 85 cents was the

On the strength of the above facts and numerous other interest- ing comparisons and studies the Report presents a number of con- clusions among which are the fol- lowing:
Cherlottstown is and has been using a mailer percentage of its municipal tax dollar to support school: and has been making less financial effort to support educa- tion than most other comparable Maritime communities. In other words. the public schools in char- inttetown have not been getting the percentage of the municipal tax dollar to which they are entitled.

FINE WATERWAYS
The lake and canal systems of Finland provide 3,000 miles of navigable waterways.
Building a new street
the waterfront south of the busi- ness section in Summecsid was suggested at Town Cotmcil meet- ing last evening as an answer to the congested traffic and parking problem on Wator street.
Tho idea was suggested by May- or Wedge who stated plainly that the town must look to the time of solving the problem and that this matter had recently been discussed with the Provirwial Government. He said that although the town maintained Water street it is a joint responsibility. Mayor Wedge. said the idea was being put forth at this time so that citizens and organisations might give it some thought. And that if the project was favorably considered the in- coming council might make a survey into the pomibllby of the proposed highway which he sug- gested might start at a point on Water street near Hall Manu- faotlrring Co., and. running along the waterfront bmassing the two RR crossings, across the three wharvea and connect with Water street West at a point -beyond the Crystal Service Station.
This would provide a through highway for heavy traffic, easy access for truckirlg to the wharvee and adequate parking space for automobiles within a short dis- tance of the business section hi the town.
Introduced by Councillor Steele, a motion was passed authorizing that application he made to the Provincial Government to have 23 miles 0 new rural electric line rnnstrll ed in 195.7 by. the town of

six year warranty. Councillor Elmer MacDonald oppose-d llw movs and expressed the hope
thst the city would not have or- rasion to regret the action as the hond was the only protection it had for a job which he maintain- nd was not satisfactory at all. He said the streets were not what had been bargained for and
for that reason he opposed the return of the bond. When thr- matter came to a with he via:
supported by Councillors Gcrmir-y and Keefe. Favoring the move were Councillors Johnstons, Curl- more, Farmer, Storey and Mc- Cnrmac.
The Council spent considerable time in talking about the "abso- lutely unnecessary" travelling a- round "Dizzy Block". Police Chief MacArthur said that it was appa- rently isnpossiblo to prevent "young bloods from the country" coming in especially on Saturday nights and driving around the block of Grafton, Great George, Kent and Queen streets as many as so times. He also noted the problem created by drivers of these vehicles

was brought forward again by Mayor Stewart when he stated that it should he clearly under- stood that any Councillor or May- or, if he represented an incorpo- rated company, should be per- fectly free to tender for any city contract.

OTTAWA, (CP)--Cansdsfs hotel business jumped 10 per cent in 1952 over the previous year.
A total of 5,157 establishments with l4B,6l5 rooms to offer grossed s391,936,000, the Bureau of Statistics reported Monday. This compared with 5,092 hotels. 146,441 rooms and a grass of s357.282,000 in 1951.
Bulk of the 1952 gross-s344,47e,- 000-was taken in by the 3.253 full- year hotels licensed to sell beer or liquor. The sale of beer, wine and liquor accounted for 51.5 per cent of the total receipts, meals for 17.2 per cent and room rentals 32.9 per cent. The other 8.4 per 'cent came from other sources.
The rooms had a percentage oc- cupancy of 58 per cent, the report showed. Hotels employed 58.348 persons and paid s88,747,000 in sai- aries and wages.
