Vol. IX HOLLYBURN PA. WEST VANCOUVER. B.C.. THURSDAY, APRIL llth. 1935 No. 50 w THE TAXPAYEks HOLLYBURN HALL Since the spring of Vancouver, in common with the rest of the world, hw had an unemployment situation.. _on itS' From the very beginning Init has been the policy of the Council that the jyrmanent cipient of rehef, if able-bodi^, should wo^ for such,amounts as he received, the prmciple' in volved being that a man not only retained his self-respect but ^ physically, mentally ;^d moraj- Iv a better citizen while working than if taking relief ajnd not working. Incidentally, the work-■ - er is paid in cash, arid not in "script^' as is the case in direct relief. It is a pleasure to, state that as a body the unemployed have co-operated ,with.th.e..C.ouiiT.. cil in this policy and have work ed to the best of " their abdity. The result' has - been that, not only has the relief recipient re-. tained his morale, but.the tax payer has been sympathetic, and the community has been free,, from unrest. . Last August the Council ar-.. ranged in addition to vtĥ Gov ernment scale, for an extra day's work per month at $2.70̂ the re lief "work-day" being six hours, and in addition a.special cloth ing allowance of $10.00., About' three weeks ago the uneniploiyed asked for a further increase m d the Council have offered'approid- . mately 25% over the present -Government scale to be worked out, at i5c peri.Aour.I.The,ta^, payers are called upon this yeai ̂ to pay 40% of'the present .Gc -̂ ei'hment scale and,with.- the extra 25% as proposed, it will; be a most difficult .undertaking to balance the budget, though the Council is striving not to in crease the taxes which would mean taxing improvemei^ts. ̂/ • ̂The Council is naturally. op- WEST VANCOUVER MAY d a y . committee people's ? ^ io e Illustrated with a meeting o f the West Van- lantem views at 7:80 p.m. to- louver May Day Committee was H a r w h if t h f ip S f e win^^ •'«"> 7 ""7/ '•'amber of Jack Sanderson.
