DAILY EDITION Thursday, .March 11, 192(5. . Alniol every modern city lias to deal wilh the pruldein of reverted lands. There are always some properties that people do not wont and on which the owners refuse in continue tu pay 'taxes. Tbe.-e revert tit Hie. cjly mill lire held by them tuilil soine-ono i willing to lake them over. Effprts have been made by civio authorilie.s, to delil with the problem but. without gelling far. Victoria city once offered long term payments on overdue taxes with the object of inducing people to hold on lu their properly nud not have it all come hi un the city. Oak Bay sold their reverted lands ar- wholesale for a lump sum, the role per lot le nig vry low. ; This elieiiie,seems lo have been successful for immediately there whs a better demand for .property generally in the municipality and better, prices than formerly were obtained. ' Kduionliiu has an immense number of lots held by the city and is unable .to '-dispose of them. Prince. Rupert's Problem Today. The problem that confronts Prince Rupert is verj similar to that obtaining in olher d lies'. . .As liich money a. possible is-needed in tax collection so thrtl public works may proceetl without, making the tax. mfe excessive. Hut a good many properties are not contributing to the tax rale because they are held by the city. What is to be done about il? ' The general policy of Hie city has been to sell any of the lots: wilh a few minor exceptions, to anyone who will- pay the amount due in taxes. Kxceptinu is taken lo this by the Rate payers. Association, whoe members say it tends lo depreciate llmrvalue of property in Hie. city aild nfa'vrenlt in many others meowing up their properly. ' The plea of the members of the council is that they need all Jhe money Ihey can gel. If the property is sold, the owner at olire commences to pa.v taxes and the finnticffll position of the oily.: is improved. To refuse to, sclj nieans that gradually the oily-will accumulate property andthus the. income of the city is lessened. ' ' t . Speculation In City-; Property. .One -way out of the (lifficultyvw-otilrt be lo form a syndicate lo buy all reverted land.- from film olty at a wholesale price, just as whs done in Oak Hay, the 'residential suburb of Victoria. These would be held as a speculation by the syndicate. Taxes woif)d. be paid on them regularly so lhaf the portion of lhr. eiljwould le improved and there would be no slumping of prices. Another suggestion has been made thai special pricW shoiild be made by the city lo those who are ready In build on lheJols at once. The wfcole problem bristles with difficulties nnd i one Hint engages almost every other municipality. The general fon-ccu.iiis of opinfon seems to be that the city should nol speculnle in laud but should sell at th earliest possible mnmenl everything- it holds unless is property it wishes lo use. In Ibis Avny-the cily is able lo show good tax receipts which inspire eon-fidehee in the people who control the money markets. 'Kveryone expects Hint Prince. Rupert propertv will Improve iirnriee very soon but the cily should not be in the land bitsl-nesj If individuals are willing lo take the chance il is. all right for-lhem lo'do so. '"Prince Rupert is not a badly situated as a jrrent many eilles in regard to reverted lauds, which are n good thing not lo have. Good Health for All U3: the Family The newest idea in medicine is to prevent serious disease by looking after the "minor ills." Since,about ninety percent of serioul lliseases develop from cojisJijiiUion and torpid action of the liver and kidneys Mrs. Mary Fouiyere, Larry's IUver, N.S, writes: "I was troubled with constipation for years." At last a friend suggested that I try Dr. Chafe's Kidney-Liver Pills. I did so and must say that they have given me more relief than, all the medicine I. have taken during the last ten years." the use of Dr. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills to arouse the action of these organ is the most effective of preventives. Backaches,, headaches, indigestion, constipation, etc., noon disappear when this great regulating medicine is used. Dr. Chase'sKidney-LiverPills &6c a box, all dealers or The Dr. A.

Intense diffieulties. ; in came the Provincial Party and its charges of praft ir the Pacific (treat Katern Hail- way auiomisi ration and here the Premier put himself on trinl for' his political life before a lloyal Commission. This definite crisis fin the Premier career ended with a complete exoneration after he had faced his accusers Hiroiwh days of cross-examination. On lop of that came the lliree-parly election of IJJJI with two powerful organizations lined up against him. Once more tin Premier came out victorious. A few month s ngo he faced his Urt crisis when the Opposition summoned all its sfcHt'Hi lo tnna!i Ids Oovernment.
