St James budget approved amid tax increases and debt relief
Editorial notes the 1952 budget by the Municipal and Public Utility Board increases mills by 5.59 over 1951 despite long term debt reduction from 3,775,000 in 1938 to 866,364 in 1951. It explains costs rise due to population growth, salaries, equipment upgrades, and extended financial supervision, with higher assessments and school expenditures driving the levy.

Petitioners Flip on Early Closing Hours Debate
Some original petitioners reconsidered the proposed early closing hours and decided against them, a move deemed justified by statements at the meeting. Councillor Morgan and Councillor Grimble disputed allowing changes, with the latter retiring. The Food Distributors Association noted 55 affected retailers, including 37 grocery and meat stores. After reviewing seven signatures, the counter petition urged no action and leaving the matter to merchants, while Councillor Dawe questioned the petition’s validity needing 75 percent. Solicitor Hanna advised ignoring both petitions and drafting a bylaw for merchant approval. The motion to table until May 20 passed.
