An increase of unconditional Grants to per capita from these Grants represent revenues derived by the Vince from motor vehicles to assist in the construction and maintenance of roads and traffic control. It said the municipalities had reached the limits of their tax resources. It said taxpayers Here pay about million in Federal taxes and million is returned to the province. About million is used to assist municipalities. On a per capita basis greater Winnipeg should be receiving provincial assistance in 1968 of about million with million going to the citizens of Winnipeg but the Brief says Winnipeg receives Only million.

It wants to be sure that the october meeting of Commonwealth prime ministers now almost certain to be held in London with prime minister Harold Wilson in the chair will not offer easy ammunition to critics of the government s rhodesian policy. Tanzania s Julius Nyerere and Zambia s Kenneth Kaunda pressed Canada to act As Host at the october meeting but prime minister Pierre Trudeau has shown no disposition to accept and it is now taken for granted that London will be the venue. Barbados and Jamaica have also been considered As possible Sites. The Date will probably be the second week in october rather than later in the month when a clash with the reopening of the British Parlia ment would be hard to avoid. The legislation Laid before both houses of parliament Mon Day restricts the operation to and from Southern Rhodesia of aircraft that Are British registered operated by British companies or chartered by British nationals.
