Administrative committee city council is meeting Friday night for their first crack at whipping preliminary estimates into line. The financial horizon for 1954 is expected to come into clear i focus the following week, with a full council meeting later to decide whether it will be necessary to raise taxes to make estimated revenues meet estimated expendi-. tures. Aldermen have already indicated they are extremely unwilling to raise the tax rate this year, and they expressed strong hopes Monday night that such a move would not be necessary.

Wire Rope Supply Ltd. 599 Taylor Vancouver 3 Council Meets Comic Opera Situation Will Alderman Cliff Skelton lose his city council seat? Will the department of municipal affairs in Victoria come through with a decision in time? These and other climatic issues will be settled at the next meeting of city council.

In the meantime, however, there is no cause for alarm or hint of scandal in Chilliwack's civic adminUtrstiun, but something like a comic opera situation has developed all because Alderman Skelton is bound by his oath not to enter into a contract of any kind with the city. The city Ls entering into agreements with adjoining property owners in order that it may widen and pave Victoria between Young north and Nowell. Alderman Skelton is one of those property owners. The other property owners concerned have agreed to deed their strips of land to the city for SI. So had Mr.

Skeltcn until somebody reminded ihim Monday night that he was bound by oath not to enter into an agreement or contract with the city in any form. The Municipal Act provides he could lose his seat on council if he were to do so, knowingly or otherwise. Alderman Skelton agreed hastily to donate the required land to the city, but on second thought decided to seek a decision on the matter from the department in Victoria. After all, he said, he does own other property in and 'about the city, and the matter might come up again. There might be a limit, he said, to what a fellow might have to give away to the city just because he happens to be an alderman.

A decision from the deputy minister of municipal affairs is expected to be received in time for next meeting of council. Chilliwack was represented at the B.C.

jusi iPK drop in or phone. Mary Mildred English Funeral services are being held in New Westminster today for Mrs. government's sales tax from three to five per cent. They saved two per cent. But they lost 15 per cent.

The federal budget brought down yesterday repealed the 15 per cent special excise tax on many electrical appliances. However, the loss to those who made their purchases may not be as great as it seems. The reduction of 15 per cent applies at the manufacturers' level and not at the retail level. If an item costs $100 to manufacture and sells for $150, the tax reduction applies only on the $100. At the same time, however, the cut Ls expected to provide a healthy boost for sales of electrical appliances, such as waffle irons, toasters, floor polishers, coffee makers and vacuum cleaners.

Not covered are TV sets, radios, automobiles, phonographs. There is no change in the present tax on cigarettes, tobacco or liquor. There is no change in corporation or income taxes. Special excise tax on a wide range of consumer goods has been dropped from 15 per cent to 10 per cent in addition to the elimination of the 15 per cent tax on many appliances. Municipal officials are hailing the removal of the 10 per cent sales tax on municipally purchased equipment.

Pleasing to the women was the news that the budget provides for tax reduction on toilet articles and fur coats, the price of the latter being now in a position to drop up to $750 on the $5000 numbers to $50 on the less expensive articles.
