IMPROVEMENT IN LOCAL AUTHORITY SYSTEM

The Governor said he would like to see the Urban Council have

control of its own finances.

Sir David Trench said this could be done by a separate budget approved by the Legislative Council with some provision to enable the Urban Council to raise and dispose of its own revenues.

"I have been concerned to see some improvement in our local

authority system.

"Little progress was possible in 1967, but in 1968 tentative fresh proposals were drawn up and have been under consideration by various interested parties, including the Urban Council," he said.

"We cannot have the exercise of power without acceptance of

full responsibility," the Governor stressed.
