His VJC)rship stated that the Premier's deci sion had been endorsed by leading newsp8pers and that he felt that the Common Council should go on record as supporting the Premier in this matter, as well as clearly indicating the City's understanding of the situation as previously given by the 1!~ederal Government- that is, that any advantage that mi.ght be given to any .i:'ro\Tince, over and above the basic subsidy decided upon f9r:.;-the Province of New Brunswick, would accrue to this Province's benefit.
