ing in the \Legislature yes- terday. Morley M. Bell (L—Sth. Prince) who promoted the bill reported that the bill had been referred to the committee on private bills and had. been agreed to unanimously.
He also stated that a commit- tee from the Town of Summer- side- had met with the commit- tee last Thursday morning and had gone over it with the legis- lative standing committee. The Town of Summerside Act of In- corporation has mot been con- solidated since 1903, Mr. Bell said. The bill, a very lengthy ‘document was taken as read sd the House.
EDUCATIONAL TAX
R. R. Bell asked whether the bill contained provision for the Town's imposing an educational tax to which the promoter te- plied in the affirmative.

Mayor Currie welcomed. Coun- cillor Llewellyn Rogers who is beginning his first term in of- fice and also . Leo Wood who was re-elécted in last month’s civic election. His Wor- ship stated he hoped all would vooperate throughout the com- ing year.
A notice of resolution was presented by Coutt; R. B. Dewar which stated that previous to October 1957 Summerside churches enjoyed domestic elec- tric light rates but had since been placed on the general ser- vice rate. It requests that the churches and church halls be put back on the domestic rate.

Summerside Act
Gets 2nd Reading
Mr. Bell said he thought Sum- merside was justified in asking for an educational tax. He said the Town during the last three years spent over a millidn dol- lars on education and there were a great many living outside the town who were earning their liv- ing in the town and were not con- tributing a cent toward taxation.
Hon. Mr. Cullen: “Do they earn their living from the town?” —
WAS OPPOSED.-
Mr. Cullen said he was oppos- ed to the imposition of the tax when it was brought into the House in regard to Charlotte town and he was still opposed to it. He said there were those who argued that because a man rents property he doesn’t pay property tax. He said this was nonsense, “Everyone knows that the landlord doesn't pay the tax- es, it is the tenant who pays them,”’\he declared.
‘Frank \Myers said he was op- posed td educational tax for persons hVing outside cities and who may be paying a sizable tax in their own district. Taking Crapaud for example, Ae said a man pays $1 n Crapaud village and if he goes into Char- lottetown or Summerside to work he has to pay an additional $25. Mr. Myers. felt there should be a compromise, t is to say, the $10 which he paid in one place be deducted from his ed- ucational tax in the town or city.
