‘Suggest Beiier Facilities For Civic Voli_ng

with tlie civic elections less than one week behind the City Goun- cil were busy discussing the lack of polling facilities and the re- strictions of voting privileges at the first monthly meeting o"! the present council held in the City Hail yesterday evening.

Presided over by His worship Mayor MacDonald. the meeting heard Councillor J. D. Stewart open the discussion by suggesting that some action should be taken in the future to provide better poli- liii: facilities. He particularly re- ferred to Ward Five where returns from some stations iii last week's elections irere very late in being received.

The meeting agreed that there WCIL‘ not enough polling facilities in Ward Five. Mayor MacDonald suggested that the City should be zoned differently and that the rit- irens should either have their taxes paid bv Dec. 3i or_not vote. or be allowed until January l5 t0 pav taxes and every one have a vow‘. .. . ..

hiiivoi" MacDonald and Council- lor O'Donnell both stated the fact that voting lists depending upon whether or not citizens had their taxes paid could not he drawn up after Jan. l5 and be ready for the civic elections. The lack of prop" voting lists was accredited by the council as causing confusion in voting as well as some 1119811 W1- ing.

Councillor Arthur Gormley spoke of a number of men over 65 years b; age who went to the polls but found out that they had no vote. These men. he said were exempt.

Reduction Shown ln Canadian Farm Prices

there were many people in the City over 05 years of age who for- merly camc from the country. owned no property in the City, had never pnid any poll tax and there- fore were not entitled to ii. vote.

The question was also raised about the voting restrictions on people who own property in the City but live in the country. It was pointed out that these people have no vote. Cbuncilior Johnstone stat.- ed that, in view of all these cases, voting privileges should pe liberal- ized.

Finance Committee

Councillor I...E. Prowse, Chair- man oi’ the Finance Committee presented his first council report. He stated that expenditures for the months or Januarv totalled 37a.- 83835 including 320.000 in bills pavable. charges against the year i940 which must be paid in 1950.

I-le reported that the expendit- ures were largely accounted for by the interest on debentures, pay- ment to the School Board. purchase of a motor grader and the ordin- ary running expenses. This amount is somewhat in excess of receipts us our first instalment of civic

cent per 100 pounds,

At first, when he had read the American report. he had believed the U.S. Government was mark- ing the product so it could not be sold iii Canada. However. it might moan that the Aimericaii Giovermment was trying to pircvent Maine potatoes from being sold to Canada and then shipped to New Orleans.

Mr. Gardiner diid not amplify this remark. but he appeared to be referniiig to tiiie fact that while Canada exports potatoes to the U 5,. she aLso imports New England spud: during the off-season per- iod.

Hopes Fur Solution

R. .T. Leslie of Kentville, N. S, president of the Couriicii. bald he hoped the delelaites iwouid make a thorough study oif the prdbiem of suipi-uses and their disposal. Nova Scotia. had had trouble with the problem for many years, Now il- had become more widespread. It was a pmibiean which all Canada

had to face.

But the delegates had io be "very careful" that in attempting to solve these problems, they did not crcivte others.

The aim of Canada's niaitional policy. sold Mr. Leslie. should be to get rid of the surpluses, not protect them.

“We must avoid thinking on a short-time basis,’ lie added. "but must consider the problem in oird- or to obtain a long-term pollution."

C0 . R. L. Wheeler. ttho Agri- culture Departments asuociate dir- ector of marketing service in the fruit and vegetable division. said the 1950 "price prospect. is not en- oouraging for any product likely to be in over-abundant supply."

He estimated that Canadian ap- ple growers would have a surplus of 4,000,000 bushels in 1950 if the

crisp develops into the 18.000000 bushels expected. Outlook Fm‘ Potatoes

Potatoes, too. would be in over- atruiidant. supply. Grclivcrs in i948 produced 92,100,000 bushels. Last ycar. when they had decided to cut diown the crop. the output still amounted to 90,500,000 bushels.

The export possibilities for, iiicsc products, said Col. Wheeler, "does not at this date offer to improve. it. may even worsen. temporarily."

Hc said he would take up with the council late-r the possibility of revising the Fruit. Vegetaiifes and Honey Act to make grading stand- ards more rigid and thus imPm" the quality and appearance cif Cah- adlan potatoes. -

BRiUSSmS. Fob. B -(AP) —- T-he Belgian House of Represent- atives today voted to ask the people of this country whether they want King Leopold to return to this throne. The referendum will be late in March. By n vote of 1l'l to 92 the House approved an "ud- viscry referendum bitli" on 1h
