The assistsuse so willingly extended by the city officials and e~ployees and the members of the various boards and commissions has rode possible the accomplishment of a successful year at a time when war is increasing the costs of government and will be most severely felt in the present year, through increased levies for war purposes. 319 .During the past year ma~y important problems were presented to you for your consideration. I believe the people of this city appreciate the difficulties which had to be faced in your discussions and that every attempt was mae to ar- rive at a satisfactory understanding of the several pxublems and we appreciate the assistance and convenience afforded us oK these occasions.

The Hencurable l.:r. i.ic%uesten santed tha6 erie of the :Yiin objections t.o the 3ity secur- ing taxation on the centre span was the fact that iU was over the bed of the iCia- Sara l{iver rhich ~lon{ed to the Province of 0atomic. l.l'.

' It was also brought to the Premier's a tention that farther rro!le ty was being expropriated by the Department of iiiCtnvays, adjacent to the Rainba~ BridGe. Prenier Hepburn stated that when the Bill was drafted, :living the City a U:m-nt of $12,000.00, it was in lieu of taxation on the properties thr. t had been acquired at that time. Jmy additional properties acquired since t~mt date r~ould have to be considered, and the City v:ould receive full compensation for the taxation lost by the expropriation of these propestles.
