The matter was brought to the fore by Councillor Johnstone who stated that only half of the taxes had been paid this year and this per- centage compared favorabiy with past years. Councillor Jobnstone pointed out that less than 60% of the taxes had been psld in 1947 and the remainder would never be paid, Among those who were lsx in this matter. he stated, were many prominent wealthy citizens. Worst feature of the problem was inequality. Tax arrears on real estate, he said, presented a different pic- ture. Councillor Farmer stated that much emphasis had been placed on the collection of real estate tax s and suggested that a list be gven to the Council of poll tax payers in arrears. it was also resolved that the Lieutenant Governor in Council be requested to make a regulation under section (29) of section 6 of the Public Health Act compelling sewerage correction and flush toilets within the corporate lim- its of the City of Charlottetown in terms of the subsection. poll taxes Police Chief Applications Three applications. it W!!! learned, had been submitted for the position of Chief of Police.

The property report was read by Councillor Cox. It showed that no progress had been made in the matter of installing s, library light.

Biggest Problem Some weeks before the House re-opened, Mr. Smsllwood ssldthe high cost-of-livlng was Newfound- lsnd's biggest problem and "either the proilteers or the Government will be going out." The Govern- men had been investigating prices snd would take "the hide of! any proflteers." Mr. Smallwood told the House: "One of the surprises of confed- eration is that it hasn't brought about a greater fall in living costs. "The members of the Govern- ment, including myself, told the people to expect a considerable falling off in living costs. We be- lieved what we told the people and we are deeply disappointed- indeed humiliated-do find our words haven't come true." He said officials of the Supply Ministry had gone to Halifax, Charlottetown, Sydney, N. S.. and Saint John, N. B, to ascertaimthe retail prices of such gools ss sold in Newfoundland. These officials also had carried out similar investigations in St. John's and Newfoundland’: threc big towns, Corner Brook. Grand Falls and Buchsns, to arrive st price comparisons. The Premier said these compar- isons showed that Newfoundland prices were l0, 20 and 80 per cent higher than those in the Nova Scotla, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick centres.

Addressing the Nth annual con- vention of the League, Father Marmcco. director of the Social Action Department of the Canad- ian Catholic Conference, charged that the reception given to many immigrants has been tainted with selfishness and lack of true Christ- ian spirit. He said the main cause of the need for immigration is not Com- munlsm, cascism and Nazism. but the human selfishness. individual- ism snd secularism responsible for this false creed. He advocated the C.W.L. strive to find sponsors for needy families in Europe. Rt. Rev. W. E. Dillon. pastor of Sacred Heart Church. told the dele- gates that no father. mother nor child can be bsd for long when the family kneels together in daily prayer. “If the home is what it should be. all else will be well." Father Dillon told delegates who represent 63.000 members from coast to‘ coast. He urged mom-hers to cultivate snd practise humility. "What Canada needs-what the world needs-is an army of devot- ed women such ss the Catholic women gathered here. who will place mother love and humility first in their lives. . ."
