It's 20 miles from Bridgewater to the Sherbrooke dam as the crow flies. 35 by water and 65 by land. The last 2H miles had to be made on foot through rain-soaked woods.

New-Federal Tax-Sharing Formula Is Made Public

Bigger Slice Corporation Tax Offered

OTTAWA lCP)ePrimc Minister St. Laurent has offered the prov- inces a slightly higher slice of the corporation tax fields as part of a new five-year deal to replace cur- rent tax rental agreements.

But his tax-sharing formula. as disclosed in letters to provincial premiers made'public Wednesday. is otherwise basically unchanged from the original suggestion he put before them last Oct. 3. The prov- inces had criticized the original suggestion as inadequate.

In his new proposal, one which he said he is prepared to recom- mend to Parliament. the federal deduction allowable for provincial corporation income tax paymentg IS increased to nine per cent from SW1. The present federal rate is 45 per cent on incomes of more than 320,000 a year.

REACTIONS DIFFER.

Thus provinces would get 20 cents of every cocporation tax dol- lar. On every 3100 of taxable cor- poratlon income, the federal gov. ernment would get 336 and the province 39. This does not include the two-per-cent federal tax fog old age security. i There were two immediate pro-x vincial reactions. Ontario said the offer appears more realistic than previous pro- posals. Premier Douglas of Salk; atchewan said the plan would weaken centralized fiscal control. He could see no significant differ- ence! from proposals placed before the provinces last October. Authorities estimated the -new corporation tax concession could add an over-all s15,ooo,ooo to pro- vincial revenues based on" 1964 yields or 350.000.0110 or more in such a prospaous year as 1956. But Mr. St. Laurent -yielded not
