The other outstanding feature of the municipal field is the increase in unâ€" employment relief expenditures, which, in some municipalities, the committee finds, has been accompanied by the disturbing factor of the issue of debenâ€" tures to meet such expenditures in whole or in part. Considering these mattem to be of such paramount importance that they should have the immediate attention of committees in all municipalities throughout Ontario under the auspices of the Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce, or working in claose coâ€" operation with them, the committee unanimously and most stror)3ly reâ€" commended that such local commitâ€" tees should make studies showing the expenditure, taxation, tax collections, and tax arrears for each year since 1927. Studies based on these figures would, it is believed, bring out the facts and could be made the basis for repreâ€" sentations to local administrations to reduce expenditures and taxation clently to halt the increase in tax arrearsâ€"demands for real reductions, not reductions effected by borrowing money for purposes which will leave no tangible assets behind. In addition, the committee takes the view that, in these times, munici.palities should limit their current appropriations to the â€" cash revenue available. . _â€" Coâ€"operation Urged The Ontario Committee further reâ€" commends â€"that : focat«committees ~es=" tablish coâ€"operative relations with all local ggpending bodies to the end> that programmes of economy may be set up and .darried out and further, that pubâ€" ko apimon be educated to support such spending bodies in any economy proâ€" gramnme that may ibe adopted. The Ontario Committee is in full the first esential step toward economic abjility of business, and the citizens gencrally to pay. It points out that a properly balinced budget, whether in the foregcing, and that such works should not be undertaken by any municipality should the credit of that municipality be such as to involve the horrowlng of money at a high rate of phasis on the great need for the closest scruth: y of expenditures if tax armars are to be halted and taxaâ€" tion reduced more in keeping with the in their economy programmes. .4. That the local boards and chamâ€" bers endeavour to secure the adoption by their municipal councils of a policy with respect to civic works similar to Encourage Opposition 2. That the local boards and chamâ€" bers advise their local members of Parliament and of the Ontario Legislaâ€" ture of their adoption of such a policy, and encourage the members to oppose in Parliament and the Legislature and throughout their constituencies the exâ€" penditure of public funds which canâ€" not be fully justified on the aforemenâ€" tioned grounds. 3. That the local boards and chamâ€" bers use every means at their command to educate opinion in their respective communities to strongly support the accord with the policy of providing work in place of direct relief wherever possible,: but emphasizes the necessity for the, greatest care being exercised in the selection of works for relief purâ€" poses,. In this connection, and in view of the Provincial and municipal work programmes now under way, and that the Prime Minister of Canada has anâ€" nounced ‘ A Federal construction proâ€" gramme will be undertaken next spring, it recommends: 1. That the local boards and chamâ€" bers support the Governments of Canâ€" ada and Ontanio in their efforts to reâ€" duce governmental expenditures by reâ€" fraining from petitioning the Governâ€" ments or supporting petitions for the expenditure of public funds unless the , undertakings for which pubâ€" lico debt will be incurred will be «ther (a) selfâ€"supporting, or (h) are absoâ€" lutely necessary to effect econumy in operation, or (c) are for the general benefit of Canada or Ontario in the duceq them insufficiently, while the revenue of the citizens, out of which taxation, is paid, has shrunk continuâ€" ously for some years. At this point it may not be out of place to note that in regard to tax arrears and in reference to the general situation of the town, Timmins is in good shape. â€"Only a transient here, or one deliberately shutting hs eyesto facts would say that Timmins has not suffered:from the depression, hundreds coming here and being a burden on the town, but despite all this the town has come through in good shape. To return to the report of the Onâ€" tario Committee on Economy in Public economic development of national reâ€" these mounting tax arrears can only mean fnability of the people to pay, and either that municipalities have not reduced their expenditures or have reâ€" Issue of Debentures The Sudbury Star should be of interest mmmwtiommme- nationalities, but also as to tha lkm and art of these peojle.
