Mr. Gray outlined to the ramberg of the Council the position of the Department of M~nlcipal Affairs and of the Provincial GoverI~aent regarding fixed assessments in the Province of Ontario. He stated that it was the policy of the G~vernment in the future to eliminate all fl~ed assessments and the intention w~.s to appoint a Com~dssioner of Assessment who would have the authority to eq- ualize industrial asses~aents throughout the Province. Regarding the Private Bill to be presented to the Legislature validat- ing the assessment on the Niagara River Lev~er Arch Bridge Company property for the ten-year period, Mr. (fray stated that the Department of ~iunicipal affairs was opposed to the passage of the Bill, and he had grave doubts that it would be possible to secure s majority of the membersof the House in fayour of the same. As an alternative, he suggested that an agreement be made with the Directors of the Bridge Company, the Dep~rtment of Municipal Affairs and the Council of the City, accepting the assessment of the property as made by the Assessment Coi~mis- sicnor. After considerable discussion on the matter, it was left in abeyance until the meeting with the Directors of the Bridge Company in the afternoon. Mr. Gray explained to the Council that he considered it was possible to refund that portion of the Debenture Debt having callable features and sold when the City debt was refunded at the end of 1937. The original debentures carried interest coupons of four and ane-hatf per cent. and Mr. Gray stated that he expected to be able to refund on.an average of three and three-quarter per cent. The saving over the lifet3~ne of the debentures would be $25,000.00. After considerable discussion, it was ordered on the motion of Alder- emn Scott and Grant Donald theft Mr. Gray be given permission to negotiate for the reigncling of a portion of the City Debenture Debt at a lmver rate of Inter- est; ~nd that he report bask to the Council upon the progress of his negotiat- ions.

It would not only be more economic, but just and necessary, to extend this same'military protection to the power phmts and distribution systems which provide, and will continue to provide, if protected, electrical energy to those industries manufacturing war munitions and war materials so vital for Canada's best contribution in this present war; 2. It views with allies the presser extremely costly and inefficient meth- ods of p~viding.civilian protection to electrical plants forced apon the munic- ipalities and the Province of Ontario, and feels that more efficient means of guardling these vital facilities can be effected by th~ Dominion Covertruest using the militia now in training without any additional expense tothe taxpayer, and with the added advantage of giving valuable practical elxper. ien. ce to the militia; 3. It respectfully urges that the Dominion Government immediately take over and supply all necessary protection for all vital hydro-electric and public ut- ~!Uring the Gruat War. and is now being done in many cases for pr~.viate industry. ility plates and power distribution systems in the same way as they were ~aurded 4.
