Local Government Plight Ignored in Manitoba Debate
In the Legislature on February 13 Conservative John Thompson of Virden attacked Municipal Affairs Minister Edmond Prefontaine. He cited Union of Manitoba Municipalities resolutions showing rising tax bills and debt, while the province held reserve funds with no tax increases. Thompson argued cash surpluses shrank as municipal taxes rose from about 11 million in 1946 to 23 million in 1955 and tax arrears grew from 72 million to 11 million, signaling worsening finances.
