Approximately the same price is now standard in all three Meri- tlme Provinces. while in Toronto consumers are paying 85 cents per D0!-Ind it. was learned. Cheese. which used to be valued at half the price of butter. is now sell. ing wholesale at so cents per pound. and has remained at this price for some time. No increase in this price is expected.

Restaurant operators in the

Province state that their present menu prices do little more then meet their costs on many foods. and it is expected that a revis- ion will take place in the near future. As the basis for the in- creased nrices they will take pre- sent high prices of all foods. fuel. and overhead. together with the higher wages which must now be paid to their help. Pork prices are a little lower than previously but beef has been steadily climbing until now the lowly hamburger sells .to restaur- ants nt 58 or 80 cents per pound. Restaurant operators say that the 10 cents increase in the price of hamburger sandwiches which was brought into effect last year does not by any means cover the mom than 75 percent increase in their present cost.

Sharp Drop In lieiurns from N. B. Poiaioes

FR.ElDi3RlC'ION, March 13 - (OP)-A large reduction in finan- cial returns to New Brunswick potato growers for the 1950 crap, as comp ed with previous years. was reported in the Legislature today by H. C. Greeniaw (L- York).

Resurning the Throne Speech debate after the week-end ad- journment, Mr. Greenlaw, a prom- inent potato exporter. said that norms”. returns for an average potato crop in the Province were from sl'i.000.000 to szo.oo0.oco. so far this ”',,' season. however. only about 35,000,000 had been received.

Although fewer potatoes were on hand than at the "corresponding date last year, the altuaion was worse because the some markets were not available. shipments to the United states had practically

ceased since the low duty rate quota was filled long ago. New Brunswick shippers and growers

had to depend almost entirely on the Canadian market. which could not absorb the balance.

Mr. Grecnlw said he consider- ed that New Brunswick growers were not receiving "the same con- sideration as producers in other parts of Canada and even forcicn countries."

The Govemment'a stocks were purchased from producers during summer months last year when the market, as usual. dropped and producers sold butter to the Gov- ernment ' at the 53-cent-a-Pound ,, t level.

After the butter-producing sca- son ended in October. the Gov- ernment began selling supplies at 57 cents 'a pound. basis Montreal. in car-load late. The four-cent-s- pound difference in buying and selling prices covered storage and freight costs.

With production down and Can- nth on the edge of a possible but- ter shortage. the Government had little trouble disposing of stocks In fact. as Mr. GM-diner said in the Commons. sales were confined throughout the selling period to those dealers with less than two week's supply in sight.

Not Moved To Prairies

Mr. Gardiner also told David Fulton (PC-Ksmioops). that Gov- ernment butter was not moved to the Prairict though sales gener- ally could be made in any Prov-

Says Proiesis lusiifledie Tax Agreimeni

The Opposition resolution intro- duced ln the Legislature in 1917 with regard to the Dominion-Prm vinoial tax agreement was amply justified in the light of the address given in the House this year by Mr. William Hughes, former Pra- vincial Treasurer, declared Mr. J. Philip Matheeon. Second District of Queen's. in speaking on the Draft Address on Monday evening.

Citing Mr. Eugher analysis of the Island's fiscal need claims, and the manner in which the present agreement has fallen short of sat- isfying these claims. Mr. Matheson recalled that the Opposition reso- lution of 1941 had criticised the Payments as being unable to stab- ilize the revenue of the Provime, and of failing to safeguard the Province's statutory claims. "Tonight we heard that the first offer made to this Province was 83.000000. and later they increas- ed it to 82.100000". Mr. Mathcaon said. '"I'ho.t was quite I. revelation to me. to know that at that time they were going to stop at that. "But we didn't get that 32,100,- 000. because we already received 8647.000. You are claiming credit for the statutory subsidies as well. You only got the standard amount that the other Provinces received. plus what we had already obtain- ed through agreements presented to Ottawa throughout the years.

"At the time that this agreement was argued. it was claimed that we received 322 per capite, when we only received the standard of some 1315' per capita plus the old subsid- es.

"This was precisely what we contended at that time, and the facts have proved the wisdom of the resolution which we introduc- ed. and which was killed in-' 1941 on the floor of this House. We certainly hope that we shall get it beter deal at the next conference."

Mr. Matheson said that there was no question as to the importance of extending old age pensions pro- visions, but this subject was in- troduced at Ottawa coupled with a proposal for a provincial ules tax. He emphasized the danger of am- ending the British North America. Act in this regard, quoting from a Guardian editorial in this connec- tion.

Referring briefly to the Trans- Canads Highway route. Mr. Math- eson said the new North River bridge should either have been placed further down the river. or else left on its old site.

l-larder hitting tactics by the members of the Legislature to stir up interest in the House proceed- ings were advocated by Mr. Math- eson in continuing the debate yes- terdayaftemoon. '

Rocky Point Ferry

He noted that about 880.000 had been spent on the Rocky Point ferry last year. This would have gone a long way on building a bridge over the West River. he ob- served.

He wondered how the people in Rocky Point felt over the Premier's statement about setting up a liquor store in that locality. "If that were lots of communities the people would be put out by such reflection of their habits." he stateid.

Premier Jones replied that Mr. Matheson might get some votes on the matter. to which Mr. Math- eson answered. "Possibly. but I would just as soon not obtain votes in such a manner."

Farmers in the past few years had followed the pattern of the Government and borrowed and borrowed at a low rate. The fann- er bought and he finally found himself in the same position as The Government, - down. he stated.

One of the big problems facing the farmers was the uncertainty in prices, he continued. While the beef prices are steady the other prices are not so good. The price of butter during the past year has been low and consequently we now have a shortage.
