Trade Board Resolutions

L}

The Council of the Charlotte- town Board of Trade decided last night to encourage the idea of hav- ing all City retail stores close at 5 o'clock instead of 5.30 froun June 1 to Sept. 80 in order to give the employees an extra half hour of daylight for recreation.

Mr F. W, Curtis. president. of the Board presided at lest night's meeting which was held in the City Hall. .

Plans were also media for the observance of World Trede Week from May 31 to June 5.

Following are‘ the resolutions which were unanimously passed by the Council:

"Ilhst the Charlottetown Boa-rd of T‘rs.de go on record as booking up the efforts of Premier Jones and the Newfoundland Trade Com- missioner W. E. Agnew tn their endeavors to obtain improved steamer facilities betweerf Chur- lotietown and Newfoundland in- cluding cold storage steamship facilities. Newfoundland trade is a natural outlet for our agricultural products and it ls vitally necessary that proper and adequate facilities be continuously provided ‘by boots during the open navigation season.

“The Charlottetown Board o! 'I‘rade in common with other Boards of Trade on Pirinee Edward Island views with alarm the hind- rsnce to our economic development caused by the fact that proper facilities for truck traffic on the Boriden-Tonncntlne route ere ex- tremely detrimental to Prince Edward Island and to New Bruns- wick, We therefctre strongly urge the Provincial Goverrment to press upon the proper authorities at Ottawa. the urgent necessity of s proper boat being put on this route for this purpose‘ st the earliest possible moment; we also urge that lihe ramps leading to the automobile deck of the M. S. Abegweit be strengthened to carry vehicles of 30,000 lbs. gross weight end that tthe turning ares at the top of the ramp be of sufficient length to enable trucks to make the tum in safety; we also urge thet pending the arrival of a steaizwr suitable for vehicle traffic on this route that the lower decks of both the M. S. Abegweit and the S. S. Prince Edward Island be levelled off so that trucks ‘can drive on these boots without the necessity of having to be loaded on flat cars. as st present. This l; also necessary for the late fell and winter truck traffic when the vehicle boat. could not operate on account of ice conditions."

Other Resolulonl

"Tlhat the Canadian Notional Railways be again approached in regrd to e late evening crossing of the Cni- Fenry from Tormentine to Bordon during the spring. Siilfltmel’ snd foil months as no word has been received yet in regard to the request unade in this matter."

A welcome clause of the budget for the well to do comes with the Finance Minister's raising of the exemption level on estates for Do- minion succession duties from 85-- 000 to $50,000. (This action witi re- lieve about 90 per cent of the smaller estates which are now taxable by the Dominion Govern- ment.) Bequests to charity which formerly were taxed st the rate of 50 per cent. are now 100 per cent tax free. Income tax concessions are conspicuous by their absences. Among the very few ere the rais- ing of the exemption floor for single persons over 65 years of sgs from $750 to $1,200 end for mer- ried persons of from $1.500 to $2,- 000 in the case of those with no dependents.

Mr. Abbott announced s new concession to the strictly honest taxpayer in that the Government will pay interest at the rate of two per cent on overpayment of taxes up to $5,000 end a half per cent over that smount.

The Finance Minister took ll large fooiscsp pages in explain why there hsd been no "sartorial tax reductions". saying that any such reduction (such as the United States Congress passed earlier this year) would be "a betrayal by the Government of its responsibilities to Canadians." There were long faces both on the floor of the House and in the galleries which were crowded with more than C00 spectators. The most frequently heard comment on Mr. Abbott's conclusion was "Well. that's that;
