MAYO $ CONFER
AT LOND N
Many Favor Cash ReIieL
Recommendations Fordwarded to
Government.
Winding up a busy two-day con-
ference on relief .unemployment and
-welfare matters, 'mayors of 22 Ontar-
lo municipalities, at London on Fri -
clay, authorized a petition to be sent
to the Provincial Government seek-
ing legislation which would give mun-
icipal councils more cottrol over
board of education. expenditures by
permitting two council representatives
to sit on the boards.
This resolution was sponsored by
Mayor C. W. Cox, • of Port Arthur,
who declared that councils were sim-
ply collecting agencies fh r other
spending bodies without consideration
being 'given to general expenditures
and tax arrears.
An appeal to the Federal Govern-
ments is to be made for, a change in
the act 'covering Municipal incorne tax
either to permit municipalities to levy
this tax or to have the Federal Gov-
ernment collect it with the machinery
set up by the Government. ,
Probably the most interesting re-'
solution was that endorsing the policy
of cash relief and appealing to the
ProViricial relief board, to get enabling
legislation to put the system into ef-
fect. Most of the delegates .favored
this plan in preference to the voucher
systein.
Here is a summary of the. other
resolutions passed during the confer-
ence:
An appeal for extension of the time
limit for municipal works after March
31.
To urge that the per diem rate for
maintenance of indigents in hospitals
be borne equally by the municipalities
and Government.
A reduction in the old age pension
!limit from '70 to 65 years will be re-
qUested of the Federal Government.
