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.
