Small Budget Surplus Forecast By McQuaid

Current Deficit Said

Due ToHeavy Snowfall

By DON MacLEOD Guardian-Patriot Staff Writer A balanced budget resulting in | a surplus of $18,396 was forecast for the provincial government's 1962-63 fiscal year by Provincial Treasurer Melvin McQuaid in his budget speech, delivered in the Legislature last night.

Provincial finances are fore- cast to fare out much betier in the next fiscal year than they are expected to do in the fiscal year ending this March which will see an estimated over-all deficit of $621,673.

With the application of the next fiscal year’s estimat- ed surplus of $18,386, the net debt will stand at $32,850,422 on March 31, 1963,

NO TAX INCREASES

No tax increases were fore- cast in the budget.

Total ordinary expenditures, estimated at $16,890,157, will be $2,498,204 higher than in the cure rent fiscal year

The department of education gets the biggest slice of the in crease, being $807,362 higher than in the current year. The major factors responsible for the in- creases are higher teachers’ salaries amounting to some $376,. 5; vocational education, an ad- ditional $175,615; physical educa- equalization grants, up $33,500; a $38,000 rise in operation costs of regional high schools. “These,” said Mr, McQuaid, “together with a uew appropriation of $121,716 for the operation and maintenance of Montgomery Hall and slight in creases in other services make up the appropriation pro for next year.
