Gas Service Subject of Talk At Rotary Rotnrizin Jim Becket, past prehi- deiit of the Three Rivers Club, was truest. speaker yesterday at the Charlottetown Rotary Club. He gave a talk on his own classifica- tion “Gas Service." The gas industry may be divided into three main divisions, said the speaker. The manufactured gas in- dustry ln which the gas is pro- duced by the distillation of cool. Second the natural gas industry which is by far the greatest div- ision having gained impetus through the discovery of wells in the Eastern and Southern States. and in Canada by the opening uf the Alberta fields. This type of gas may he distributed thousands of miles through pipe lines. The third division is known as the Liqulfied Petroleum Gns Industry. This is the infant division, havlnr: been started only in the last twenty five years. The development of the bottled gas business was held up because of the necessity of refining u fuci which combined four main require- menis. Operation at comparatively low pressures. constancy of chemical composition, assured supply, and reasonable price. Ail these were met by the new L. P. Gas. Rotarian Becket said the main source of L. P. gas is the crude and natural gas wells. This source is supplemented by secondary sup- plies produced in certain refining processes. Supplies for this indus- try in Eastern Canada are obtain- ed by the latter method. L. P. gas is being used to meet the four main domestic fucl needs. cooking, water heating, refriger- ntion, nnd space heating. On thc farm it is also used for chicken brooding clue to the close temper- ature conizroi possible with 20$ Rotarian Becket explained the in- stnliation of the equipment rind its automatic characteristics. He also explained that while natural B115 contains 450 to 470 B.T.U.'s per cubic foot propane gas has a value of 2550 for the some volume. Com- pared to electricity, iiie vnlue of a KWH is 3412 B.T.U.'s, so that a cylinder of gas contninillil 100 lbl is equivalent to about 535 KWH. Rotations Hal Shaw and Fred Moore were chairman. Guests yesterday were Rotarians R. N. Miller, Caribou. Mnine, and Joe Dewllng, St, John's, Newfound- land. Rotarian K. S. Rogers, chair- man of the committee in the ap- proaching drive for funds by the National Institute for the Blind. asked the Rotnrians for theiresup- port. ‘ PARKINHTIETERS Continued from page 1 passing a resolution of sympathy to his widow and fnmlly.

"I agree that. such a motion should come from the Council. I didn't know, Councillor Johnatone, you didn't know what was on the flle." Coun. Johnstone: "Did you have any figures on file that flttll in‘ with the Board's figures?” The Mayor: "No, Edwin." Coun. Johnstone: “There must be something wrong somewhere." He then read from a letter from the manager of the Supply Division of the Canadian General Electric at Halifax, dated November 9 and addressed to the president of the Board of Trade. The letter stat- ed that in January, i948, his com- pany had submitted prices to the then chairman of the Police Com- mlttee. Coun. N. W. Imwther. for six intersections. These prices. It the time, were "in the neighbor. hood of five or six thousand dol- lars to which installation charges! would have to be added. “This proposition." the letter laid. "was looked into thoroughly by our traffic control engineers at Head Office and was based on very complete information on traffic count, dimensions of intersections, etc. sent over to us by the Police Committee." The letter went on to state that “prices are somewhat higher to- day, I feel that these installa- tions couid have been installed and operated successfully at quite a reasonable figure..." The Council then got down to finding out what was meant by I "light" and the difference in the prices mentioned. “Councillor Lowther, correct or not correct?” Coun. Johnstone. "l turned everything over to Coun. Farmer," replied Coun. Low- ther. "If we had a quotation on file around $800 why has there been a dispute with the Board of Trade? Hares the chairman of the Police Committee saying he didn't know of this," said Coun. Jchnstone. Coun. Cox said he welcomed the suggestions of citizens and the Board of Trade and Coun. Benton seconded the motion which was passed unanimously. "We should really deal thorough- ly with the Board's requests." con- ciuded the Mayor. "Here's an- orhcr on the Peddlers‘ licence." Coun. Stewart suggested a fur- ther meeting to discuss the latter subject and the council adjourned until tonight at 7 o'clock. exchanges‘ that naked is Text of Letter Following is the text of the let- ter from the Canadian General Electric Company read by Coun.

"Early in 194B, in January, our Company made a proposition to the City of Charlottetown, to the attention of Mr. N. W. Lowther, Chairman of the Police Committee, at that time.

Tug Ends Tough Five-Day Tow ST. JOHN'S, Nfld.. Nov. i4 — (CP) The ocean-going tug Foundation Josephine hauled the I wallowing freighter Scottish Prince iinto St. John's harbor today after la five-day tow through a seeth- ling Atlantic. . The 50l-mile haul began early tThursday when the Josephine 1 reached the 7,000-ton British mer- I chantman following a hectic rescue tdash from a point off northern New Brunswick. r None of the freighter! 40-odd crew members suffered iii-et- fects from their battle with a 'rash of storms which began more than a week ago when the Prince's engines broke down. Said a member of the tug's icrew: "it was a difficult tow." The first big blow to smash the ships forced them to to four knots-just enough to maintain course into the teeth of a raging gale. The second swept down yesterday when they were 85 miles oiif here. They battled it to a standstill and hove to. weathering it out. The Josephine sighted the dis- abled ship late Wednesday. At dawn. they closed and lines were flung aboard. i struggling reduce speed went. .to a ‘farmer rienr Amherst and the other to an agricultural society at River Hebert. Edison Mutch of North River who won both the Premier Breed- er and Premier Exhibitor's Shields sold several young animals. Purple Valley Jelter Star, first prize jun- ior yearling, went to Donald Rob- lson of Soft Springs, N. S. and Purple Valley New Look, a senior male calf, went to John Wlrldcn of New Annan, N. S. Both were bred by Arthur MacDonald of Forest Hill. Farm Conference Ottawa, llec. 12-14 The annual Dominion-Provincial Agricultural Conference, usually held during the first week of Dc- cember, will convene this year ll‘. Ottawa. December 12-14. This change is considered desirable as a number of key officials who will attend the Conference are also delegates to the 15th Annual Ses- sions of the Food and Agriculture Organization in Washington whose sessions extend into the first wcck in December. As in other years, representa- tives of Dominion and Provincial Departments of Agriculture, anti representatives o! organized agric- ulture wiil get together for a three days‘ discussion of what next year is likely to hold for agriculture. It is hoped that delegates can be provided with commodity re- ports both on 19-19 production and for 1050 prospects in advance of the Conference. This method was followed last year, and in addition to speeding-up proceedings gave greater opportunity for thorough discussion. TWO EXEMPTIONS Continued from page 1 eludes all crown corporations, more or less self-contained ilefencc establishments and veterans hos- pitals, irrigation, rehabilitation and reforestation land, parks, harbors, canals and adjacent lands and Government-owned railways. However. in these cases, Mr. Ah- bott said, the Federal administra- tors would enter into independent agreements with the municipali- ties, including those tvhere a5- scssed Federal property came be- low the four-per-cent mark. Key to Formal-t Key to the formula, said Mr. Abbott, was the degree of “abnor- mal concentration" of Federal property in a. municipality. The Government normally believed that the mere location of Federal prop- erty in a city stimulated business and salaries in that area. This alone would be sufficient to corn pensate for the taxation loss. New problems arose where there were heavy concentrations of Fed- eral property and that was the premise on which the Government based its “formula? The heavy concentrations were believed to be in areas where the Federal prop- erty was greater than four per cent of the assessment value of other property. Grants will be made on esaezs- merits remaining after the four- per-cent has been eliminated. On that remaining assessm t the Government will pay ‘r6 per cent of the tax levied by the municip- altty. Thus. in a. municipality where the total tax assessment is $100,- 000,000 and where Federal property amounts to $10,000,000. the first step is to deuct the national av- erage -- tour per cent, or $4.000,- 000 — from the 310000.000. This leaves 56.000000 or six per cent of the whole subject to pay- ment. If the total tax levy ts. sail. $6,000,000. the normal payment on the six per cent slice of property would be $300000. What the Gov- ernment will pay is 75 per cent. of this, or $225.0». The Government's payments will be on municipal and school taxes only. They will not include busin- ess taxes. Ottawa. Esqutmait and Halifax. which formerly received annual ' Federal grants, in future will come under the payments scheme. On New Property Two features of the formula per- tain to new property which the Government may take over nftcr Jan. 1. One is that a municipality which may receive the annual payments plan will benefit from "a furthcr temporary adjustment grant" when- ever the Crown acquires s new piece of property in that munic- tpaiity. "This grant will ensure that the municipality will receive full taxes for the year in which the property is acquired, either from the ven- dor or from the Government, dc- pending on the sales agreement." Mr. Abbott said. The grant also will ensure "full taxes in the succeeding yenr nnd one-half of taxes in the next fol- lowing ycnr." "At the end 0f this period," the Minister snld, "the assessed value of such property will be included in the fotnl of Federal assessment of the municipality-with a com- mensurate effect on the regular grant." A similar procedure will ap- ply to municipalities below the four-per-cent. assessment. mark. In these cases, “the Govern- ment proposes in future to pny, in respect of any piece of property acquired by the Crown, full tnxes for the year of acquisition, plus full taxes for the succeeding year and in each of the next three years grants of respectively '75, 50 and 25 pcr cent of the full taxes." "At the end of this period, np further grants will be paid. These temporary grunts are intended to permit the municipalities to adjust themselves to the loss of specific tax revenue on the acquisition of property by the Crown." The Government also proposes to pay "as soon as possible" nil “proper nrrenrs rind charges" for locnl improvements against l-‘edornl property "in any municipality." To Pay For Water "In addition. it is the intention of the Government. to pay for nil charges for writer received at Gov- ernment building: on a meter basis." Crown corporations will be auth- orized to enter into inxation agreements with the municipali- ties on a "fair and equitable" bns- is. Such agreement already exists between the Central Mortgage rind Housing Corporation and munici- palities in which C, M. H. C. LADIES’ CREPE today at $2. so you'd better be TAKE.

Similar agreements also exist between Wartime Housing Limited. another crown company, and towns and cities where such housing has been established. "In the case of the Govern- rnent-owned railway: operated by the C.N'.R. agreements have been entered into with the cities of Halifax and Saint John for the payment of reasonable amount; in lieu cf taxes." said Mr. Abbott. "In understand that the C.N'.R. will endeavour to work out aim- llar arrangement: with other municipalities through which the Government-owned railway runs. "In general the policy will be to have Crown corporations work out arrangements with municipali- ties which are fair and equitable under all the circumstances." The Federal assessors will make final decisions on arbitrary assess- ments. ln a number of cases there were indications that local assess- ments of Federal property were "considerably inflated."
