REDUO
MAYOR
Hills'
decisive
move
to
clear
up
the
hoard
of

mess
did
not
come
a
moment
too
soon.
With
a
price
tag
on
it
of
$172,:i67
in
the
new
budget,
this
board
has
no
place
for
brawling.
That,
figure
represents
close
to
6f
per
cent
of
the
proposed
sum
to
be
raised
by
taxes.
The
money
has
sweat
n
it
and
demands
the
best.
The
mayor
vas
in
a
tough
spot,
as
iiiumI
of
Prince
Rupert
was
aware,
and
it
might
be
argued
that
much
of
his
trouble
was
self-imposed.
But
it
is
hoped
now
that
his
firm
action
will
give
the
important
board
of
works
plain
sailing
ahead.
The
budget
itself
is
evidence
again
that
the
city
has
a
long
way
to
go
before
it
can
start
giving
attention
in
earnest
to
its
recreational
facilities.
The
total
amount
budgeted
for
parks
and
the
Civic
Centre
is
more
than
.$,8,000
below
what
the
parks
.
board
considered
was
necessary
for
its
requirements
alone.
While
it
is
unfortunate
that
the
parks
program
cannot
be
pressed
with
more
vigor,
this
should
not
be
done
at
the
expense
of
essential
projects,
and
the
mill
rate
could
hardly
stand
any
more
stretching
"
-
v
'
:
..
The
plight
of
the
parks
is
considerably
offset
by
the
improved
outlook
for
the
Civic
Centre
through
an
annual
grant
of
$6,000,
compared
to
$1,800
in
the
past.
Without
such
support,
the
Centre
would
be
in
real
danger
of
closing
down.
If
this
happened,
the
city
would
lose
an
asset
which
is
becoming
more
valuable
all
the
time.
It
is
encouraging
to
think
that
the
time
is
close
at
hand
when
Prince
Rupert
will
have
paid
off
the
debt
it
incurred
to
stay
in
business.
This
will
remove
much
of
the
pressure
under
which
the
finance
committee
has
to
operate.
It
must
be
realized,
however,
that
if
the
city
is
ever
to
catch
up
to
itself
in
such
pressing
matters
as
the
replacement
of
its'
public
buildings,
the
laying
of
roads
and
sidewalks
and
the
installation
of
improved
waterworks,
it
will
have
to
borrow
more.
It
is
not
too
optimistic
to
believe
that,
when
that
day
comes,
Prince
'Rupert
will
appeal
to
financiers
as
a
sound
investment.
