Budget Has No Relief For Taxr ayersln New Brunswick

i-IIEDERICTON iCPl -. New Brultsxtlck taxpayer! Wednesdty facll another year with no letuv 1,. provincial taxation after Secre- um-Treasurer Donald M. Patter- wli pmscllled I mlmlm guldl” gislature.

1957.53 budget and future ones be- cause as other provinces increase expenditures to provide their citi- ms with greater benefits ”there will obtiously be demands for sim- ilat services here."

The only tax change exempts coal miners buylnl UYMWIG (ruin tlteir employers from a three-pcr-cent sales levy.

The secretary - treasurer. PI'9' senllllg lheyfifth budget of HIIIII Joint Flemming": Progressive Con- gcl'VaIlI'e government. said it was ”nul prudent to make any down- hard tax changes" and laid most oi tlte blame on the federal gov- elllllflffll.

OTTAWA FAILS

fllr. Patterson said an easing of the tax burden was deemed un- me because of "the unrealistic pert-t-utage formula of the new tax rental agreement" Ottawa's fail- ure to recognise the need of a na- ttnnal adjustment grant to poorer prumtccs. and future budget prob- lems.

The budget estimates expendi- tures at 50310.0(!) against reven- ues of leaving a sur- plus of til1.lll0. Comparative estl mates in last year's budget were expenditures 85'l.I7I.G'l. revenues l57.036.M0 and an expected surp- lus of about 3S'I.0N.

Public works estimates are up t2.7oo.ooo to 3l6.tm.000: health and social services will take 814.- 0'f3.000: education 08.033900 and lands and mines u.oo9,ooo. Ser- vicing of the public debt will take an sll.000.lll0 bite.

Chief revenue sources are fed- eral grants and provincial taxes. Grants under the federal- provin- cial tax rental agreement will be up almost S3.(l)0.000 to 821100.000 while gasoline. ale and tobacco levies will net 823,000,000. The ll- quor control board is expected to earn 36,000,000. ,

NEED HIGHER GRANT

Mr. Patterson was critical of

Ottawa's "unbelievable disregard of the realities" of the new tax rental agreement which "is a 'rich lily rich and poor stay poor' pro- posal. ' He said that with taxes at a high level and provincial budgets rising yearly. the federal government holds the only hope of providing new revenues.

"We see no way our budget problems of the future can be met

except through acceptance of the principle of a national adjustment grant." he said. lie suggested a fair grant to New Brunswick would be Sl0.iIll.tm above what is now

being received. Mr. Patterson also took issue with the report of the Gordon

Commission which he said implied that New Brunswick lacked na- tural resources.

"New Brunswick is in the rela- tive position it is today not due to any lack of natural resources but due to national policies." he said. "We have the resources. It is na- tional policy-or perhaps a lack of national policy-which is the root of our troubles."

1056 PMBPEROUS

Mr. Patterson said that although the postwar years might be called the period of "the gift neglect" as far as New Brunswick is con- cerned. 1956 was generally a pros- perous year.

For the first time in history. per capitaincomes rose above 3900 but still remain 32 per cent below the national average of Si,- 349.

As for the future. Mr. Patterson said:

"Action on this Gordon report could unleash the economic reins of restraint and lead toward a full development of our natural re- sources potential.

Smaller Mesh Not: Required

OTTAWA (CP) - New regula- tlons governing mesh sizes in nets used by Canadian fishing trawlers and draggers in the northwest At- lantic have been announced by the fisheries department. They go into effect Wednesday.

It said the regulations are de- signed to conserve stocks of cod and haddock. Tiny were recom- mended by the international com- mis on for the northwest Atlantic fish ies and were similar to those in effect since June 1953 for the Georges Bank area off the New England coast. known as sub- area 5.

The sub-areas to be affected now are Nos. 3 and 4. No. 3 takes in the Newfoundland fishing banks and waters adjacent to that prov lace. and No. 4 covers Nova Sco- tlan waters. the Gulf of St. Law- rence and the Bay of Fundy. The department said different minimum mesh sizes are specified for sub-areas 3 and 4 because scientific information has shown that the stocks of fish in each sub- area are distinct and separate, and that there is a slower growth rate in sub-area 3. The mesh size in sub-area I is to be a minimum 4H inches. already in effect in sub-area 5. but in sub-area 3 a four-inch mesh size will be per- mitted.
