Local Business Men .Dzscuss Civic Affairs Prominent Citi-Zehs Interviewed In Effort To Obtain Cross-section Of Public Opinion On Pressing ‘Civic Problems. What is the opinion of our business and professional men with "Kn-d to Charlottetown’: financial situation, and the prospects for improvement in the near future? ed to gather a 5y The Guardian yesterday attempt- posium of such views in a series of interviews with leading citizens not personally concerned with civic politics, “c9111 B5 h!!! ilXPflyers. Iu over-y case, those approached were eager to discuss the situation, and the majority favored two s l" Pflfiifllllflr, namely, increased taxation and strict economy. Others, however, discounted ‘ “on increases and stressed the need of de- "lolllll: our harbour and transportation facilities in conjunction with canning factories for the manufacture of Island products. In the hope that it will interest pros,. well as ‘the public generally, the presented: Taxes and Economy “When the Council increased the taxes to 2 l-t per cent, why didnt they g0 farther and make it 2 1-2 per cent. and live within their income? asked one prominent merchant. The incoming Council, he believed, should make greater" efforts at tax collection. An effi- cient policy in this connection was absolutely necessary. he insisted. Furthermore. the Council should refuse to embark on large expen- ditures. "Keep what we have in 800d r air-our streets. sidewalks and cl o property. That will give eutrpioymen-t without resorting to further borrowing. The streets last year were neglected until July or August, and in the meantime the holes were becoming larger and more expensive to repair. There is no economy in that." As an example of “what not to do" this merchant-cited the re- cent purchase of a civic snow- plow. “Was that necessary?" he asked. “In view of the financial situation as revealed in the press, there was no excuse for such ex- penditure. What we want just now is an administration that will keep civic property in good con- dition. raise the taxes to 2 1-2 per cent and live rigidly within their income." The Public To Blame "I blame the public themselves." said another merchant when asked for his opinion. “Primarily the res- ponsibility is theirs for a good deal of the trouble, because of their lack of interest in civic af- S. “Also. of course. there is the re- ilefmproblem. We cannot blame the City Council for that. The amount of work available is not. at all in proportion to those seek- ing work. Many. of the unemploy- cd have come in from the coun- try. because of the poor prospects ior making a living on the farm under present conditions. The City has to support them and what are we going to do about it? "It scents to me utterly inipos- sible to balance the budget with the tax rate at the present fig- ure. And there is not much usc . raising the taxes unless the Coun- ~ oil can see where they can cut their expenses." “What do you think the tax should be?” the reporter asked. “I would think, if they had raised it to2 l-2 per ccnt and practiced economy, and cut out this buying of snowplcws and other extruvagances until the fin- ances were in better shape, there would be a. better story to tell." was the reply. "What is‘ your remedy for the on .. "Frankly. I think there are a lot gettt relief who are not. en- titled tot ." the merchant answer- ed.
