there are. some ‘differences of —

opinion on Council: and this is |

not unhealthy. The matter is

in process and certain: steps .

have already been irrevoc-
ably taken. It may’ well ‘be
that there is an alternate to
the present plan which. may |
be acceptable to the ‘public

BUDGET. ECONOMIES -

9. In the matter of”
taxation, the ‘budget:
presently in preparation and.
all departments advised. that.
the greatest economies must.
be exercised not. only in the -
total expenditure but in the -

work effort received: by the |
| Municipality for these expen-

ditures. In’ this:. budgeting ~
and cost reporting | system
should start at. the. foreman.

or section head’ level. ‘and *.

they should: know.. monthly"

where they stand. against

their own estimates. This is

so important in order:to have ©
_ knowledgeable |. staff. “and.
_ work force who are conscious
- of the prudence that they are
_ individually responsible for.

10. I believe the Council
should apply. itself yet again

to the subject of asking the-

Union of B.C. Municipalities.
to bring its whole weight to
bear in recommendations to.
the Provincial government.
that school taxes should: be |
raised through» ‘ability to’

pay’ taxes and not directly on
land. ’

Buses, I can report that. the
initial meeting with the
Urban Transit authority staff.
gave me the impression that .
they were entirely reason-
able and sensible to ° our.
needs. It is possible that this
changeover could be:to the —
advantage of the. riders: in —
general and the Municipality
in particular. We will be
retaining the. operating
management of our system.

12. On the matter of
appointments to the various

3 issions where vacancies have
occurred, 1 will have rec-
ommendations for Council
afier the first of the year
when I have received input
and suggestions from them_

payers groups and general
public.

NEEDS OF PUBLIC

‘In conclusion may I say
that the Municipal Hall
during its working hours is
something akin to a medical
centre with its various.
specialists and people come
to it because something ‘is
