Not Paying i
The trouble stems from provi- sions of the British North Am- erica Act. under which all mun. icipalities are vested in provin- cai governments which have to be asked for what is needed.
Another factor came about during the Second World War when the federal government en- tered into tax agreements with the provinces and took over the income tax field.
However, the main municipal problems. he noted, ariSe from the vested rights of the provinc~ es which hold all provincially- owned property to be exempt from municipal taxes. This crea- an unfair situation unless

If in the right of Canada. the city would receive a grant. but if it is to be owned by the Pro- 'nce of Prince Edward Island there would be no sation to the city —- and he said the maintenance costs of such a‘ structure would be extremely

HOT DEBATE SEEN
The shape of opposition criti- cism won’t be fully seen until Commons debate starts next week. The throne speech itself has opened the door to a hot debate on defence policy—the biggest single issue of the last election battle.
There was an oblique refer- ence to Government policy on acquiring nuclear warheads for

The new department of in- dustry would provide a “central point to which industry can look for consultation. stimulus and assistance."
The department would include an area development agency to co—ordinate economic programs for areas of chronic unemploy- ment needing “a special thrust for development."
To AID URBAN GROWTH
A new municipal development and loan board would provide loans and grants for provin- cially-approved projects.
The five-member Atlantic De- velopment Board set up last winter under the former Con- servative government woul be strengthened — presumably with additional members—and armed with a capital fund for promotion of basic projects in the Atlantic region.
A government spokesman in. dicated that around $500. , would be provided for the mu~
