By Harold Morrison

Canadian Press Staff Writer OTTAWA. (OP)-The government will shortly launch the biggest re- financing job in post-wnr history and officials hope it will result in a. saving for Canadian taxpayers.

With little extra cash in the treasury, the government within the next few weeks likely will be in the market for some 51,100,000.- o00 required to ay off the Fourth Victory Loan ca led for redemption Oct. 1. . i This will be the biggest single government borrowing operation since 1940 when the Ninth Victory Loan brought the treasury some S2,N0,000.000.

The Fourth Victory Loan carried an interest rate of three per cent and officials likely will offer a mix- ture of short and long-term bonds aimed at reducing the public debt carrying charges borne by the tax- payer.

Those interest charges are for- midable. rising last year to 8476,- 0W.000 from 84lll,300.000 in 1952-53.

INTEREST SAVING MADE

However. interest rates on gov- ernnient.bonds have been declin- ing einee mid-loll and a major re- financing job earlier this year re- sulted in an interest charge saving. That was the uso.ooo,ooo bond operation to pa off the Third Vic- tuy Loan on um i. The govern- monii offered 00004000000, worth of long-term. If-year bonds at 3 be per cent and eseo,ooo,ooo short-term I i-e-year issues.

The aver a cost to the govern- amit was I. per cent. compared in the three-per-cent rate borne by the vfotwy bonds. since the gov- ernment had no trouble disposing of its earlier offerings, it may try again. -

Hie trend towards lower interest charges was reflected in the an. nouncensent of the new Canada Iavfngs Bond tune to be offered

OTTAWA. August Iii (Special)- The Montreal firm of Anglin Nor- cross (Maritime) Limited was are lowest tenderer for construction of the new Federal Building at Char- lottetown. Amount of this large construction firin's tender was :2,- 38R,034. 1

In view of the constantly rising costs of labor and materials, it had senernlly been believed that the tenders for the Charlottetown Federal Building would be highsr than this amount. In view of cur- rent unemployment and of close competition iii the construction industry, it is now established that the building can be erected well within the Public Works Depart merit estimate.

Works Department officials told The Guardian late today that Wihlic the Anglin-Norcroas firm was the lowest of eight contract- Ins firms which entered bids, the tender like all others in similar circumstances would be carefully examined and reviewed before a definite award is made. They could not give a starting date for con- struction of the building but ex- pect it. will be very shortly after the award is made.

It is government policy as an- nounced by Labor Minister Gregg at Regina this week that a larger proportion of government contracts will henceforward be carried out in winter.

While this practice is admittedly more costly. it is regarded by the Cabinet as extremely important that unemployment be kept at a minimum. It is hence expected that after excavation for the Char. lottetown building is completed. the contractors will continue im- mediately with the foundation and structural steel work.

lax Ruling On Top Soil Dealers

OTTAWA (CP)-Selling top soil can be a profitable business but the income is not necessarily sub- ject to tax.

The income tax appeal board has overruled the revenue depart- merit and granted the tax appeal of John Pawluk, an Edmonton farmer, who sold about 312,700 worth of his farm's black top soil in 196i.

The revenue department main- tained this was subject to income tax, but the board ruled Wednes- day that by selling his top soil, farmer Pawluk was disposing of part of his assets and therefore the money received was a capital receipt.

cent. compared with 3 3-4 per cent offercd in last year's campaign. DOWN IN U. K.. U.S.

Declining yields also are evident in the United States and Britain. some think the decline started in the U. s. when the federal reserve board decided to encourage borrow- ing by reducing interest.

Yields on long-term U. 8. bonds declined to 2.51 per cent on June 30 from 3.01 a year ago. Canadian long-term yields declined to 2.38 from 3.72 in the similar period. In giauin they dropped to 3.11 from

What impact this decline may have on other forms of borrowing is uncertain. Mortgage loans under the National Housing Act bear 5 1-2 per cent interest. The rate is set by order-in-council and is based on the trend in long-term government issues.

There is no indication that this latter rate will be lowered. One reason is that mortgage borrow- ings under the NHA have been heavy and demands for these loans continue to be strong at the cur- rent rate.

MILLTOWN. N. B.. '(CP)'-Textile workers here vol-

unteered Wednesday night to

take a cut in wages in a

last-ditch effort to save their jobs. The union employees of Textile Sales, Ltd., agreed to make "reasonable sacri- fices if the resultant reduction in operating costs would enable the St. Croix mill to stay open.

Reporters were barred

from the meeting on the

grounds that their presence would discourage freedom of expression among the membership of the Textile Workers

Union of America TLC-CIO.

A terse summary of dgvelop. ments was released later by union executives. It used the terms "rea- sonable sacrifices" in referring to the p r o p o s e d voluntary wage slashes.

But members straggling out of the hall before the meeting ended said the 350 men and women there were prepared to give up as much as 15 per cent of their earnings if by so doing they can keep the mill in production.

The union executive declined to confirm this figure, asserting that no definite percentage was set in the resolution covering the mem- berships' action.

COUNCIL PLEDGE8 AID

It was learned too, that the town council of Milltown is ready to make an all-out attempt to save the mill. The community's only in- dustry is scheduled to be shut down in about three weeks, and the working force is being pared steadily.

An authoritative source. said the town will likely offer a tax-free concession to Textile Sales, Ltd, for one year, with the provision that the company guarantee that the mill keep open for at least that long. g

The town has been receiving about 900,000 annually in taxes from the big plant. In surrender- ing this, revenue, it would be giv- ing up the bulk of its tax collec- tions. But alderman are said to be taking the position that if the mill goes under. comparatively few people-in Milltownjwill be able to pay taxes, while the reverse would be true if the shut-down is averted.

The union and council proposals are to be presented jointly today to the president of Textile Sales. .Alan C. Salter of Montreal. The three-party talks have been ar- ranged for 4.30 p. m. in the Mill town municipal chamber. It was understood that the press will be excluded.

Connolly To Seek N. S. Premiership

HALIFAX (CP)-Premier Hsr'- old Connolly said Wednesday night he would be a candidate for the Nova Scotia premiership at a hom- inating convention here Sept. l0.

The former newspaper editor. who assumed the premiership in A rll as "temporary custodian" after the death of Premier Angus L. Macdonald. had hitherto com- mitted himself only to say he wasn't dealing himself ”in or out."

In dealing himself in, Mr. Con- nolly, 03, said in a prepared state- ment fhai if he is not chosen Lib- eral party leader at the conven- tion he would "accept the decision without complaint."

Besides Mr. Connolly, only two

other have said they will allow

his life Tuesday to four and and their names to go before the del-

egates. They are Municipal Af- fairs Minlster R. M. Fielding and Harold Naaon, chief inspector of schools and assistant director of education.

Fire Causes 3100.000 Damage At large Grocery Store In Montreal

Firemen were forced to use res- pirator equipment because of the dense smoke.

Downln

of Labor, said in a statement the figures "emphasise the crmtinuedi seriousness of the situation andl fully warrant the calling of a special session of Parliament."

Members of Parliament should be given an opportunity of meeting to take. positive action to alleviate unemployment.

meeting was an open letter to Prime Minister St. Laurent, sent him Tuesday from Toronto head- quarters of the union. it was signed by the union's Canadian director, J. Harold Daoust, and said in part: "The textile industry in New Brunswick has been murdered with the cold steel of federal gov- ernment apathy and complete in- difference to the suNerings'of Can- ada's textile workers in the face of an ever-rising flood of cut-rate iextilies imported under the pro- tective cloak -of government legis- lation."

The union urged the government to limit textile import: imme- diately to the extent necessary to save the remains of the Canadian textile industry; advance govern- ment orders immediately to those textile areas in a depressed condi- tion, irrespective of lowest bids: further strengthen the anl.i-dump- ing regulations to protect the tex- tile. workers from cut-rate foreign dumping; reverse the defision in open the doors to Japanese and Czechoslovakian textiles.
