That, despite the Increase of J3.000.000 in expenditures, tlw great public services such as the i-oads, the university and grant to municipalities are curtailed. 3. That the two-cent increase tn gasoline tax is an unwarranted imposition on the motorists because the normal revenue from gas tax and motor licence fees for the next year Is capable of carrying an ad ditional highway loan of $20,000,000 instead of the $8JDOO,000 provided for. UbTgWnfiit, vartouslf sUt-ed at from $4,500,000 to $16,000,000 by cabinet ministers, were a myth and that the loan bill of $5,140,000 purporting to be for the purpose of retiring these accumulated deficits was in reality to provide money to cover up the extravagances of the present administration. 5. That the 19 largest cities In the province, containing 72 of the population do not share in the government's scheme to take over arterial highways but were the heaviest losers by the curtailment of grants to municipalities. After the Mackeniic amendment was defeated, the main budget motion carried and the house went into committee of supply.

Increase In Mill Rate Any Increase In Gross Amount Taxes Seemslikely This Year Informal Meeting; of City That 49 Mill ' For three hours last night the city council in informal session wrestled with the estimates for the year paring wherever possible in their endeavor to keep the mill rate down. In spite of that it looks as if the rate would be 49 mills on the dollar or pretty close to that. The general lowering of the assessment this year has reduced the income from general taxes while the increase in school expenditure has added about a mill. The proposed laying of a fire protection water main on Second Avenue and another on Bicon Street to serve part, of theo- district in the east-end and to bel part of the permanent waterworks scheme of the city, will, If carried out, add two mills to the rate. A slight increase is proposed for the library and provision Is made for the better upkeep of the tele- nhone svstem with an increase in the staW to keep Dace with the srowmg demands. Policing came in for me debate and the attorney 7cne:al's department will be communicated with in that respect. Another session will be necessary to decide finally on several debatable points before the estimates are finally adopted and the mill rate struck. Should' the 49 mills be decided on, It means that the city will collect from the ratepayers about the same amount as last year. Some will pay more and some less.
