The other view as that the new disarmament proposals are meet- ing with serious objections from U.S. partners in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

Fire Damages Parkdalo Plant

Fire yesterday morning roused exiensive damage to the asphalt plant of Warren Maritime's Limit- ed. located on the Mount Edward Road. The blaze which apparently originated in the roof of the boiler shop. aided by the oil and asphalt which had saturated the ground. quickly spread to the remaining work buildings.

Called to the scene shortly after eight o'clock' the Parkdale Fire Department finally brought the blaze under complete control by about ten a.m. The firemen were able to prevent the fire from spreading to the office buildi and a bunker car of oil standing on the siding in close proximity.

F r o m information obtained from local company officials. it is thought that the first estimate of damage may not be as costly as expected. Their belicf is that practically all the machinery is salvage-able and can he put back into operation with very little dr-

The tenth anniversary of lll! founding of Kingston Branch No. I the Canadian Legion was com- memorated recently when mem- bers with their wives 85 sue-ts. assembled at the Clover Club to en- Joy I lobster in the shell dinner and social evening. Also present as guests of Kingston Branch mem- bers were several members a nd wives from Charlottetown and Victoria Branches.

Tl. gathering was brought to order by president Foster MacKln- non. Following the l ins 0l "0 Canada" with Mrs. Hector Currie It the organ Comarde MacKinnon called for two minutes silence. After this act of remembrance was observed with all standing in ailent tribute to dcparted com- radea. Comrade Hector Currie was called upon to act as master 0l ceremonies. I

Comrade Currie. after extending a sincere welcome to the guests. on behalf 'f Kingston Branch mem- bers. madc brief reference to the activities of the Branch over ill 6 past ten years.

He observed that in that period the following members had served as president and had shared In guiding those activities. Comardes Earl Docherty, A.C. liiacliachern. M.C.; Roy Pruce; Michael Mur- phy and Foster lliacxlnnon.

Comrade Currie called on Com- rade Spurgeon Leard, president of the Charlottetown Branch to ad- dress the gathering and to offlclate in the presentation of the past presidents badge and medal. to the immediate past president, com- rade Mlchaei Murphy.

Comrade Leard referred to commendable work of Kingston Branch in connection with service and assistance to Veterans and their dependents.

Comrade Murphy was presente with the Badge and Medal and in response to request for speech. ex- pressed his appreciation of the honor conferred on him-

the recommendations of this com- mlttee. -

1- Assessment on Real Property - assessments on real property in Parkdale and Spring Park should remain as now shown on the assessment rolls for a period of four years following amalgam- ation. Should changes in the pres- ent properties occur. such prop- erties will be reassessed on the same basis as the present proper- ties were nsaesscd prior to the change.

2. Business and personal prop- erty aasessmcnt- So as to share in part at least. the tax land with owners of real property the City of Charlottetown has in effect a business Tax and a Personal Prop- erty Tax. The assessment for both taxes are small. but it secures revenue from citizens who may otherwise pay no tax at all - name- ly the persons who pay rent. Per- sons who operate a business in a community should pay a higher tax to that community than the persona who merely make their home there .. hence the business tax based on the amount of rental paid on the amount of inventory carried. ..

The Business and Personal Prop- erty Tax would become effective immediately following amalgama- tion.

Educational or non-resident tax As most of the adult males in both Parkdale and Spring Park now work in the city of Charlottetown they now pay this tax and of course will continue to do so Males who do not pay this tax and who are between the ages It and 60 each would be required to pay 825.00 yearly. And females who

tween the ages of 21 and 55 years will pay lIz.50 yearly.

It will be noted that no longer would there be a Poll Tax such as that now paid to the Villages of Spring Park and Parkdale. Nor would persons of so years of age and over be required to pay either a Poll or Educational Tax.

Rates - Water and Sewage-As this subiect requires much study and careful unbiased consideration it is recommended that the mat- ter of rates for water and sewage be left to the Board of Public Util- ities. This body is a provincial one and has leanings toward neither Charlottetown nor Parkdale and spring Park

Firs Insurance-Reduction of Rates - By ' 'ln-1 the fire departments of Charlottetown. spring Park and Parkdaie. and by the provisions of water and fire hydrants. a considerable reduction in roles for Fire Insurance will be experienced. Until the amalga ation and all it implies and entails takes place it is impossible to quote exact figures. However prelimin- ary estimates indicate that the saving to owners of real and per- sonal property in Parkdale and Spring Park will be at least one dollar in premium per tii t dollars of insurance and to the
