VICTORIA REPORT

- By James K. Nesbiit

The Fight that Had to Come

It’s certainly
quite a row g0-
ing on between!
the  provinela?

over the place.

Until these amalgamations
come, ord say the provincial gov-
ernment is going to get fougher

it has an
@ sooner or later,
uN img it had to be fac-

_ ed up to,

The Premier was really
tough when he said, in a very's
Joud voice that city and muni-
cipal fathers are a bunch of
erybabies and that someone
should present them with sets
of crying towels.

Naturally, this put the ity
and municipal fathers: into.
great uproar. They never felt és
insulted in -all their lives, The
huffing-and-puffing of indigna-
tion that went on all over Bri-
tish Columbia was wondrous to
behold.

In an argument like this I
am for the provincial govern-
ment, the senior body of authori-
ty,. which ‘looks’ out over this
vast province and sees dozens
and dozens of municipalities, all
overlapping their services. What
the provincial government wants

in the interests of economy and | in;

and| 2 and all the be-
cause it must, if it is to its “duty

py all the people, Local _home-
town pride and prestige cai he
longer be pandered to. The way

it is now Js ridiculous,

The Premier, in what some
municipal leaders called an un-
reasoned tirade, lashed out at
all the elected officials who are
always raising their own salar-
jes. That, for sure, is what they
are doing, all right, and it scan-
dalizes the taxpayers, making
them feel elected representativ-
es are out to feather their own
nests with the public’s money.

Saanich municipal council
one day raised the reeve’s sal-
ary from $7,500 a year to $10,-
000. Councillors’ pay went up
too, The Reeve, sensing public
ces pert day had the coun-

his pay increase.
