Noting the vehicle registrations from 1961 to 1966 have risen by the councillor told the group that metro has spent 550.5 million on capital traffic volumes Here Are so far below minimum warrants As they make this decision questionable in every sense of the word.

He said that in 1967 Premier Roblin s administration will col Lect approximately million in revenues from fuel tax and vehicle licences registration while Only million will be diverted Back in support of the area s Street system. Out of the foreseeable million from fuel tax and vehicle licences if we add million for liquor taxes a total of better than million is arrived at of which we suggest 75 per cent is raised from the metro he continued s the approximate million in contrast he said the province had spent Only million in the same period. Coun. Wolfe also criticized the government for failing to establish priorities of spending in the metro area and he claimed a typical example has been provided by the province s pro Grams regarding the perimeter Highway. The moneys spent on the perimeter should have been reviewed in the Light of More intense priority requirements of the Central Urban areas As the perimeter Highway not the acts really effectively serve metropolitan area and More As a the government s decision to spend almost million for construction of traffic overpasses at the perimeter and Roblin Boulevard and the perimeter and Highway 6 is another example of the Lack of under standing constantly being shown coun.
