Lesage Federal
By JOHN YORSTON
QUEBEC ICPl—Premier Le- sage Friday night announced in‘ creased taxes on gasoline. diesel fuel and forest operations in a budget speech laced with acid remarks about federal-pro? vincial fiscal relations.
The tax on gasoline was in- creased by two cents to 15 cents a gallon and on diesel fuel to 21 cents from 181/2 cents. Pres- ent gasoline prices vary through the province with Montrealers paying 37 cents for regular gasoline and 42 cents for pre- mium. Diesel fuel prices range from 36 to 37 cents.
The gasoline tax goes towards road building in the province and Mr. Lesage said Quebec had to seek additional funds elsewhere because of the stable" federal government's “lack of understanding."
Mr. Lesage forecast that for the fiscal year which started April 1. Quebec will have an over-all record deficit. of some $146,000,000 c om p a r e d wrth $112,801,000 last year. ‘
He placed heavy emphasis on Quebec‘s demands for a bigger share of direct taxation and say, that percentage increase in thi government's expenses was 9.1 1 from last year to this year.
