;THE
NEW
ASSESSMENTS
i
WIDESPREAD
and,
in
some
cases,
indignant
protests
are
being
heard
about
numerous
in-;
creases
which
have
been
made
in
the
city
taxation
assessment
for
1947
following
the
Lafleche
revaluation
survey
of
last
year.
Many
say
they
are
gQing
to
file
appeals
to
the
court
of
revision
to
be
held
early
in
February
and
some
of
the
appellants
appear
to
be
already
resolved
that,
if
they
are
not
accorded
relief
there,
they
will
carry
the
case
to
higher
courts.
:
Unless
the
mill
rate
should
be
lowered
later,
an
increase
in
the
assessment
would,
of
course,
mean
a
-proportionate
increase
in
the
taxes
to
be
levied.
It
is
to
be
assumed
that
increased
assessment
is
tle
forerunner
of
increased
taxes
whether
or
not
th'e
mill
rate
is
lowered
this
year.
'
I
Increases
of
taxes
are,
of
course,
unpopular
and
afe
never
accepted
without
protest.
Because
the
increases
are
unpalatable,
however,
does
not
mean
trjey
are
always
unjustifiable.
;
We
have
all
been
clamoring
for
improvements-very
material
improvements
of
streets,
water
system
and
sewerage
services.
N'o
matter
how
we
may
finance
these
improvements,
by
grants
or
advances
we
may
acquire
from
the
governments,
by
pay-nfents
in
reparation
of
war
damage,
by
borrowing
or
by
local
improvement
imposts
the
general
taxpayers
must
expect
to
pay
some
portion
of
the
cost.
Certain
new
measures
of
economy
or
bringing
about
better
efficiency
might
help
some
but
still
there
appears
to
be
no
way
out
for
the
people
who
live
in
Prince
Rupert
and
own
property
in
some
measure
at
least
footing
the
bill
involved
in
the
niaking
of
essential
expenditures.
In
other
words,
there
is
no
magic
means
of
avoiding
paying
for
the
satisfaction
of
our
wants
and
desires
even
in
public
financing.
Everyone
feels
that
taxes
are
already
as
high
in
Prince
Rupert
as
we
ordinary
people
feel
we
can
stand.
But
this
has
been
and
is
an
expensive
city
to
develop
and
maintain.
That
is
not
the
fault
'but
the
problem
of
those
who
have
city
affairs
in
charge.
Even
they
are,
no
doubt,
quite
as
anxious
3s
we
are
to
keep
the
assessments
and
the
taxes
down.
But
they
must
fact
the
situation
in
a
business-like
and
realistic
way.
Of
course,
glaring
inequalities
or
ridiculously
fictitious
values
constitute
legitimate
grounds
for
appeal
and
correction.
;
As
for
straight
claims
of
assessments
being
too
nigh,
there
would
be
few
people
who
would
move-to
underassess
the
value
of
their
own
property
even
if
it
mightsave
them
a
few
dollars
in
taxes
;
The
city
might
also
explore
in
further
effort
to
relieve
the
'long-suffering
property
owners,-the
possibility
of
further
sources
of
revenue
from
those
who
do
not
pay
property
tax.

TN
ONE
YEAR
more
than
A
77,000,000
board
feet
of
lumber
and
timber
have
been
used
by
the
Canadian
Nickel
industry.
It
would
take
4000
freight
cars
an
average
of
more
than
ten
every
clay
in
the
year-to
transport
this
material.
Producing
this
timber
means
a
.Jot
of
jobs
for
Canadians
in
the
wooils
and
in
the
sawmills;
The
lumber
industry,
in
turn,
uies
a
great
deal
of
equipment
containing
Nickel.
The
tractors
and
hoisting
equipment
up
in
the
bush;
the
machinery
and
equipment
in
the
sawmills;
are
tough
and
strong
because
of
Nickel.
The
purchase
of
such
equipment
means
jobs
for
men
in
the
Canadian
Nickel
mines,
smelters
and
refineries.
So
the
Canadian
Nickel
industry
nelds
Canadian
lumber;
the
lumber
industry
needs
Canadian
Nickel.
To
some
extent
at
least
the
lumberman
owes
liis
job
to
the
Nickel
industry
and
in
turn
he
helps
to
keep
the
Nickel
worker
busy.
No

SEGREGATION
Editor,
Daily

I've
Just
reaa
my
copy
of
The
Dally
News,
January
9,
and
I
am
rather
surprised
that
in
this
day
and
age
when
everyone
seems
to
be
striving
for
a
better
world
to
see
where
Mrs
Bscker,
a
trustee
of
the
school
board,
tried
to
pass
a
motion
to
segre
gate
the
native
children,
also
to
ask
the
Indian
Department
t
establish
a
separate
school
In
some
ancient
2-roomed
building
(which
incicentally
the
school
board
Itself
decided
should
br
torn
down.)
Perhaps
Mrs.
Becker
has
never
read
or

of
the

and

entire
meaning.
