Donald said today that the pro vincial covernhicnt could not accede to Prince Rupert's re quest that it be allowed to fore go sinking fund payments for the next two years In order to rehabilitate its streets. Mayor Arnold and Alderman Youngs sought to have the capital payments of $58,000 a year diverted for this purpose. Coun cil approved the measure at its meeting a week ago. However. Municipal Minister MacDonald has sent a strongly worded message to federal Finance Minister Douglas Abbott urging that the federal government pay Immediately to Prince Rupert $172,000 for damage to the city's streets resulting from military activities during the war. The 1172.000 Is half of the i total cost of rehabilitating the streets, estimated by Brigadier Walsh in a survey here mors than a year ago So far, the city has had no information on the reparation recommendation contained in the Walsh report.
