"We find it incomprehensible that such action has been taken in spite of the fact that Parlia- ment approved the report of the joint parliamentary committee to retain the death penalty fol- lowing a long and searching in- vestigation in the years 1954 1955," the CACP letter said.

E, Blakeney, Opposition CCF financial critic, said the 1965-66 provincial budget only masqueraded as one offering tax cuts. In fact, it would mean a shift of taxation to the munic- ipal level. " He said the budget provided an increase of only seven per cent in grants made to schools; compared with an increase of 14 per cent made for 1965-65.

"There is hardly a widow or old age pensioner who could spend enough so that the one- per-cent saving would equal the $20 increased premium they had to pay last fall for hospital and medical care, let alone the money they .will need for to- bacco," the CCF critic said.
