Alberta — Bills

Bill No. 30 of 1951. A BILL TO AMEND THE PUBLIC UTILITIES ACT. NOTE. This Bill an1ends The Public Utilities Act, being

chapter of the Revised Statutes of Alberta 1942.

Section is amended by repealing subsection (2). This subsection confers jurisdiction upon the Board to hear assessment appeals in any area where the financial affairs are under the supervision of the Board by reason of an order made under

Part V of the Act. This gave the Board complete jurisdiction over defaulting municipalities. How ever, it appears advisable that assessment appeals in such areas should be dealt with in the same manner as assess ment appeals in other areas throughout the Province. By repealing the subsection assessment appeals will be directed to the Alberta Assessment Commission which will lead to greater unifonnity in assessments and in assessment pro cedure throughout the Province.

Section is amended. This

section deals with the issue of refunding debentures ordered by the Board of Public Utility Commissioners in the ,case of a local authority which has defaulted with its debentures. The

section now re quires that such refunding. debentures be sealed with the seal of the Department of Municipal Affairs. Such refund ing debentures may be school debentures as well as munici pal debentures so it appears advisable that they should be sealed by the seal of the Board of Public Utility Commis sioners which orders and approves the debentures rather than by the seal of the Department of Municipal Affairs. The amendment enables the Board's seal to be used. This Bill ,comes into force on the 1st day of July, 1951. KENNETH A. McKENZIE, Legislative Counsel.
