figures sur-

passed in amounts President Roosevelt seeks for

1941.

By RICHARD L. TURNER. Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. Jan. B.—(AP) — President Roosevelt sent Congress a 317.485.000.000 bugdet today. a re- cord for peace-time. andsorved no- tice that he would ask still further funds to throw the United States’ great industrial machine into the battlegagainst the Axis powers. _During tlic fiscal year which be- gins next June, he proposed that 810.811.324.000 be spent for the United States‘ armaments program. That figure and the budget‘s total. as well. are to be further increased bv the cost of war SuDDlies sent to

Glreiit Britain under his lease-lend - o

an.

By comparison, the budget for the current fiscal veer ending next June. as revised today. calls for to- tal expenditures of $l3.202,370.970, with 36.423.923.000 for defence. In the year which closed last June. expenditures totalled $8.90B,189.706, of uihlch the defence item was $1.- 579,905,425,

Other Items

Aside from defence, the principal items of the ncw budget were $502.- 884000 for Pubiic Works, as com- pared with $570,002,000 this year; 51.001.561.700 for “Aid to Agricul- ture," compared with 51.106.391.800: and 31.034.130.700 for Work Relief. as compared with 91.501.915.000.

Against the tentative total of 317.485.528.049. Mr Roosevelt Dldced estimated government revenues of 58.275.435.000. noting that the sum was sufficient to cover non-defence items and national defence outlays at the rate of a few veers ago.

As presented. the figures‘ left a prospective deficit of 39.210.093.049. the largest of the Roosevelt period.

"But liow close that would come to

the ifltimate figure. the President himself was frankiv in doubt. be- cnuse the cost 0f aid to Britain has st‘ be added. and revenue gains from a new tax bill increasing the rate have still to be added. Tentative-iv. it was estimated thet ilic Public Debt would rise from the nrescnl. ilQllFC of s45.000.000 000 to 958.367.065.056 on Juno 30. 1940.

ill. B. records Largest surplus In llistory

FREDERIGIDN, Jim. 8 —(CP)— A surplus of $538,143 for the fiscal year ending Oct. 31 last, the larg- est surplus 1n New Brunswick‘: his- wry. was revealed tonight in the annual financial statement of the province.

The previous highest surplus on any one year's current or ordinary account was 8198.209 in 192B. The 1940 surplus was nearly as much as tihe total of 0.11 1'7 surpluses New Brunswick has had since 1900.

In addition the statement dis- closed a. reduction of $335,212 in the province's net debt —t"he result, government officials said, of rigid economy in capital expenditure. They stated this was the first ap- preciable out in the net debt since 1929. The provincial debt now stands at 885.032.9110. In i939 it was increased by $8,288,231 and in 1939 by 399097.560. Record-breaking revenues and ex- penditurcs also were shown in the statement. Revenues soared to $10,- 302,143, or $305,534 above the es- lmate. and expenditures amounted io'$9.764,000, which was $411846 above the previous year but $218.- 886 less than estimated.

A $13,723 surplus had been bud- geted for last spring. The much ‘higher actual surplus presented a. sharp contrast to the outcome in I939. when a surplus of $16,755 was cstimired and s. deficit of $875,068 oocured —the second highest def- icit in New Brunswicku history The biggest single gain in reven- ue over estimate was made by the Department of Lands and Mines with receipts totalling 31.252361, or $411,798 over the 1939 revenue. Second largest increase was in liquor control board revenues. which amounted to 51.655338, or $379,939 over the 1939 income.
