III MEMIIIIIAM

MRS. HANNAH ROGERSON

After a brief illness. of less than one week, there passed to her rest on Jan 3, 1956. at the home of her nephew, B.C. MacKny. Cole- man P.E.I.. Mrs. "annah Roger- son. so well known as ”Aunt flau- nah", in her 104th year. the last of a family of thirteen.

Tile late Mrs. Rogerson. dangli- ter of the late John and Flora tMacNevini MacKay. was born in Desablc. Jan 20, I852, and after her marriage to Leonard Rogersnn moved to Milo. P.E.l. where she lived until one year after her hus- band'a death which took place on March 1925.

After residing for some years in Maine with her family, the late Mrs. Rogerson. in Sept. 1941 re- turned to P.E.l. and took up resid- ence with tier nephew. B.C. Mac- Kay. Coleman. where and in which community. she was highly rasp- ected and greatly esteemed. The late lilrs. Rogcnson was a mem- ber of the Coleman Free Church of Scotland.

She leaves to mourn four sons, John James. and Jeffrey of Maine U.S.. and Philip of Coleman. P.E. I. One son William tBrocklon. Mass.) predeceased her two years ago; and one daughter Flora Ann. Mrs. flowad. (Springton. P.E.I.) predeceased her one year ago. There are eight grandchildren. and five greatgrundchlldren.

FLORAL TRIBUTES PILLOW

Have vpry much thought and study .to the difforcnt ways and means of liquidating the debt for this most necessary school. for the further- ance of our children's education. ' Your Council did not feel that this should be a charge against the real estate property. therefore. with authority under amendments to the City Incorporation Act, pas- aed by the Provincial Legislature in 1964, whereby an educational tax could be imposed on male: and females: your Council passed a by- law authorizing the City Assessor to put such Educational tax into effect. The revenue from this source takes care of the interest. and amortization of the serial bond Issue made to pay for the cost of the school. I am happy to say here. that these serial bonds sold at a price of 90.428 (with interest vary- ing from SM to 356 over a twenty your period). Truly an exception- r"y high price.

Mr. and Mrs. Joseph T. Gallant of Forest View were visitors on Friday evening January 20th at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Arsenault of Forest View.

We were also given the right to continue the real estate tax on certain pmpcrtles. which were pre- viously privately owned, but are now the property of the Govern- ment while the former grant in not. annual. and was made in 1955 only. the latter will continue to be an item in our yearly Real Estate Revenue.

NOT ENOUGH

I feel. however. that thin Cit! is not getting its proper share of the Dominion-Provincial grants. from the Provincial Government in its per caplta -rant. Municlpalitiec in other Provinces are receiving many times more than the City bl Charlottetown.

At the present time we have the right to tax Federal property with certain limitations which I will re- fer to later. when I deal with Fed- eral Aid. I feel that a similar sys- tem as that which allows us to tax Federal property should be inaug- urated to deal with Provincial pro- perties. I feel also that this munici- pality should certainly be entitled to tax at least part of the stock in the Liquor Store. proportionately to that which is purchased by re- aidents of our City.

I feel. likewise, that we should be entitled to a share of the gaso- Ilnc tax. based on the galtonage consumed by the motor vehicles owned by our citizens.

FEDERAL AID

Through the efforts of the Fedor- atiun of Mayors and Municipalities. the four per cent exemption of federal property was dropped to two per cent. and supplementing this with a considerable increase in the assess hunt on the new Fed- eral building. based on the progress of construction. has meant a great deal to our City's finances. By way of comparison. in the year I954. we received as a total payment for the years 1952. 1953. and I954, the sum of w,308.55. With reduct- ion exemption from 4 per cent to I per cent. and with the increase in asscssmclii we received 321.574.- 00 for the year I965.

To sum up the financial picture. Rcvcnuc aild Receipts were 101.2 per cent of the current levy. The perccnizlize of the I955 Real Estato levy collected during the year will on per rent The percentage of tin

STREETS

A most extensive street paying and parking area program was car- ed out by the Street Department. under the Clinirmanship of Council- tor P. R. Mccormac. This was upplemcnicd by a chip sealing program. Work was started just as soon as conditions permitted and was continued until late Fall. Practically all the streets of our City today are either asphalt or chip seal; thus the dust nuisance has been practicaly eliminated.
