CIVIC CENTRE AWARD THERE CAN BE little complaint at the 'award which has been made by the board of arbitration which settled the price at which the federal government turns over the former Y.M.G.A. war services building here to the people of Prince Rupert for permanent use as their Civic Centre. Undoubtedly there were some who might have hoped the building would be acquired at a lower price even a nominal figure but a fair reflection on the situation on its merits will, undoubtedly, bring one to the conclusion that the federal government itself was entitled to some 'consideration as well as this cify. There is also the matter of precedent for there are other cases in Canada of somewhat similar circumstances. The important thing is that the city of Prince Rupert has possessed itself; at ten times less than it would have cost to build, an eminently 'suitable structure for immediate ue without having had any of the worries of having to erect the building itself. Tlie unanimity of the arbiters is also an indication of the fairness of the a'ward. We think the arbiters are to be thanked and congratulated on the culmination of a good deal all around. THE BIG FIGHT THE: KEEN INTEREST that was ' taken in the Louis -Conn world, championship bout last night was' indicatiqn,iif any such we're needed, that "we are getting back to our peacetime attitudes again even in the fighting game. Yankee Stadium was crowded with ; the second largest paying crowd in pugilistic history. Even here in Prince Rupert many of us had been talking about the fight for days: Last evening we absorbed ourselves with the radio broadcast. And today our readers will be interested again in the newspaper accounts of the battle. Tljere is something satisfactory and llelaxing about getting down to such things as these again after the war years during which graver and more ivital matters made prize fights seem -so inconsequential and hardly o servicing PHONE 6 and Our Technician liwill call at YOUR HOME Satisfaction Guaranteed worthy of even passing interest. We are getting back to normal again and it is a relief. UP TO CITY NOW THERE CAN BE NO complaining at the lack of co-operation on the part of the federal government in making readily available to th city of Prince Rupert facilities for the establishment of an essential local base for marine aircraft. Not only has the city been offered the multi-million dollar seaplane base of the Royal Canadian Air Force at Seal Cove but, in order that the overhead and insurance costs may be kept within due bounds for the city to handle, Mr. Howe, the minister of reconstruction, has agreed that it will be necessary for the municipality to take over only such part of the establishment as it feels it requires. As the situation of negotiation now stands, it is for Prince Rupert to decide just what portion of the buildings and facilities at Seal Cove it desires, to formally acquire same as soon as possible and take, without delay, the steps necessary to set up the air terminal which it is agreed must be provided here if Prince Rupert is to stay on the modern transportation map. No doubt the city will immediately set about to get expert advice upon which necessary action can be based. THE 1946 BUDGET FORECASTS that Finance Minister Ilsley, in his budget at Ottawa riext week, will remove the excess profits tax from business and further relieve the personal income tax are reassuring. Of course, it is a foregone conclusion that something of a very substantial nature must be done along these lines. In fact, the action now expected is due even by anticipation from the words of Mr. Ilsley himself who, in his budget speech of last year, said that It was imperative "we restore incentive and encourage investment in the expansion of the employing capacity of our industries whether in large or small enterprises!" That incen-' tive had been nigh stifled by taxation, the inordinately high level of which had as its only justification the winning and paying for the war which, since last budget, has ended. Here is what a writer in the Financial Post has to say of the 194G federal budget: "No budget in Canadian history has paralleled in interest and portent the one which Hon. J. L. Ilsley must deliver shortly at Ottawa. Pew, Indeed, have been of such immediate concern and importance to business. , "What's at stake is business and personal planning, profit and expansion for many years to come. , "At stake also is the postwar fiscal relationship of Ottawa to the nine ; G.
