The murder charge investiga- tion concerned a mother who {had reportedly strangled her | child approximately one month | previously. As the mother was | confined to Riverside hospital for mental treatment, and the cause of death could not be es- tablished when the body was | exhumed, no further action was | taken, the report explains.

There were 11 cases of cattle theft, one of robbery with viol- ence, 165 of breaking and enter- ing and theft, 210 of other thefts five of safebreaking and seven of arson. This represents an in- crease in all charges except that of arson.

Great difficulty is reported in investigating cattle thefts as “positive identification cannot be made of the cattle after they have been stolen. Ear tags or brands would be of great assis- tance,”’ the report states..

Nine cattle thefts were report- ed in 1960,

By RALPH CAMERON Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer Moving ahead with plans an-

nounced prior to the civic elec- tion, city authorities are cur- rently endeavouring to obtain the services of an expert ip Metropolitan traffic problems to come to this city and make recommendations regarding both traffic and parking.

Mayor A. Walthen Gaudet said yesterday Police Chief Charles MacArthur is making the ar- rangements for such a survey.

Regarding remarks of Frank Myers, MLA, in the Legislature Tuesday about Market Square parking, the Mayor said “I could not agree more as to the need.”

He recalled that his annual re- port to City Council \pointed out the necessity for solving the parking problem and said -‘‘the only thing holding us up now is the obtaining of the services of a@ competent expert.”

STEPS TAKEN

Mr. Myers remarks re park- ing came in connection with mention of the new Confeder- | ation Memorial Building, and |moted the farmers would lose |their traditional area. Mayor | Gaudet remarked that the Fath- jers of Confederation Foundation had already announced they had taken steps to obtain alter- nate parking areas to replace | the present section of the square devoted to that purpose.

His Worship stated this mat- ter, as well as several others included in the pre-election plan, is scheduled to be discussed at a@ special meeting of Council called for tonight.

Among the subjects for the first action by the new Council | will be the city dump, the breast- | work at Victoria Park, and the | proposed new assessment of city properties.

Mayor Gaudet that in any way connected with in- creasing city revenues. “It is simply to give a realistic pic-

ture of present day market val- | ues.” IS OUTDATED

In this connection, he said, the present assessment was hope- lessly inadequate and outdated as it was based on two-thirds of the 1939-1945 replacement value. “That era is gone forever and the figures used then have no meaning today.”

The Mayor said he was going to try to obtain the services of a firm noted for its work in this municipal field, and would ask Council approval of the plan at the coming meeting.

If the new assessment is made it would probably mean proper- ties would be assessed on their actual value in the market to day.

Since this would automatical- ly mean a considerable hike in the assessment rolls, it would be followed by a sharp decrease in the present tax rate. The net Tesult would be the same amount of tax income for the city as the tax rate is computed on city financial needs,

LEVELLING OFF

Such an assessment, it is ex- pected, would result in a levell- ing off of taxes. For some prop- erties it might mean an in- crease, while for others a de- crease could result.

Under the present system, the task of the city collector ts made more difficult as it is al- most impossible to make any adjustment when owners object to ‘assessments. Replacement costs of 20 years ago bear no relation whatever to present conditions.

One distinct advantage of the proposed assessment would be that it would offer an immed- late picture of changing trends when properties changed hands. Such transfers, in connection with prices paid, would provide a steady check on trends and | area valuations. This might be especially valuable to owners

attempting to arrange mortgag- es.
