With plans to open up a new area for a town cemetery, councillors discussed merits of an Idea to limit markers on graves to a small headstone, which would lay face up and level with the surrounding surface. The suggested plan was also to disallow use of any cement work around the grave Itself. Reasons given were that cemetery caretakers would have a much easier time to keep grass cut and also that the uniformity and neatness of the arrangement would result to a better looking cemetery.

Bailey Monday night Accused the provincial government of taking away the right 0 municipalities to govern themselves. His accusations stemmed from tie recent forced switch to Mountain Standard Tune and the new Commercial Agents Act which will go Into effect Jam 1. councillors present at Mondays meeting, as- well as the mayor, were perturbed at the news that tiie Commercial Agents Act will take away their right to establish license fee for hawk rs and peddlers. According to the act. municipal licence fees for such persons has been set at a flat rate of $10 for very town.

City licenses have been set at 125 and other municipalities at $5. ACT REPLACED The act will replace the present Hawkers and Peddlers Act and Will supersede the licensing provisions of the various municipal acta as they apply to persons licensed ju commercial agents or salesmen. The section under the act which riled Melville councillors most was the one stating: The holder of a licence under this art is exempt from compliance with any licensing bylaw of a municipality with respect to the business of a commercial agent. The matter was brought up while councillors were reviewing a recent complaint by local photographer George Brown that a group bt eut-of-provinc photographers were making a door-to-door canvass of the town while operating on a licence fee of only $23. Mr.

Brown had oontended that euch a fee should bo at least on par with his own. Councillor, howavtr. who agreed the fee should be higher, were stymied by the news that after the start of ths new year, they would have no sag in the matter of fees. PROTEST MOOTED Mayor Bailey suggested that the council should make a protest to the government Hot only because of "the low fee, he said, but it appears that they ars taking" sR rights away from the municipality with regard to controlling agents. He added that the executive of the Association of Municipalities has objected to the new act and felt that Melville as weg aa others should protest individually.

feel we should have some say os to who is going to get a hawkers or peddlers keen here, he said. The suggestion made by Coun. Champagne that a protest should be voiced over the compulsory change here to Mountain Standard Time also found backing by the counciL Mr. Champagne pointed out that Estevan was making a protest and advised that Melville should do likewise. According to Mayor Bailey, this area is not suited to Mountain fTime because of the way it cuts down the number of working daylight hours and the fact that school children will soon be going 'home to the dark.

It was suggested that the only who benefita from the time change Is the Saskatchewan -Power Corporation which will gain revenue from lights being used longer each day. A complaint will also be made to the SPC from council with regard to the recent power failure of two hours and 40 minutes.

He said there is toe impression that past regulations were intended mainly to protect the merchants, and while this is true to part, (t was not the main intent.

City agrees to assume social aid MOOSE JAW (Staff) The City of Moose Jaw has agreed to assume the social aid work now being done within this community by the provincial government, effective Jan. 1, 1959, This action is being undertaken on the understanding that the new social aid program as approved by the rural and urban municipal group will be Implemented by the provincial government March 31, 1959. City Commissioner Jamas Beveridge has pointed out that Moose Jaw had never agreed to assume responsibility for social aid to connection with the Inter-provincial cases, or transients. As a result, this work had been done by provincial government social workers, with a provincial office located to the regional health office. Mr.

Beveridge noted that at the rural and urban association conventions earlier this year, the minister of social welfare and rehabilitation requested committees be set up by both associations to consider a new social aid program. This was agreed to kiia representative met with the minister and agreed upon the method of sharing cost. Since then, the province has approved the new plan to principle, said Mr. Beveridge, and waits approval by the legislature. The general basis is a sharing of social aid costs by the municipalities on a per capita basis, plus administrate! and health costs.

It was noted by the commissioner that the additional costs of extra stall and office equipment would amount to some $775 per month to Moose Jaw but he estimated that on the overall social aid program, there would be a savirg to toe city.

MOOSE JAW (Staff) The Prime Ministers announced plan to aid winter unemployment was criticized Tuesday, for having too many qualifications, by W.

G. Davies, MLA for Moose Jaw. Mr. Davies, who is also executive secretary of the Saskatchewan Federation of Labor, said it was difficult to see how full advantage could be taken of the offers of financial assistance for winter works projects, by municipalities and toe provincial government "Labor to Saskatchewan has advocated for many years a basis of federal provincial municipal works schemes on a share-cost arrangement of 75-15-10 per cent, he said. While we welcome any statement by federal authorities recognizing this principle, it does not appear that the essence of the plan outlined by Mr.

Diefen-baker will help much as he has described it. The main reason is that it is so hedged in with qualifications it 'an bring about very little winter work, claimed the labor leader. Mr. Davies referred to the eon-fined period of December to April and he also advocated genuine works plans" including home-building construction projects. He said that the prime minister had declared that the 50 per cent offer applies only to direct wages costs.

This, according to Mr. Davies, means that indirect charges, often heavy, will not be considered. Most important, he added, it means that the eoet of materials used to work pro- jects can not be included at alL Nevertheless, said the federation official, it -as time for local and provincial government auth- orities to press for enlargement of toe proposals outlined, so that they could be broadened to a Rockgien has tliree break-ins ROCKGLEN (Special) Three business places is this southern Saskatchewan town were broken into during the night Monday but at only me of them was anything found missing.
