New Allocations “Where necessary new a location of cwera and duties sh uld be ms c as between the Dominion and the Provinces and exclusive revenue adequate ‘to such allocations should be o\ i ed the Dominion and the o» ces.

The present Domin on proposals went only a short distance toward of responsibility and sources of revenue. lie he Dominion had expressed willing- ess to assume new responsibilities iln social’ services in return the Provinces were asked to give up completely their rights to income and corporation tax and to share succession duties.

National adjustment grants m. cuiated on the fiscal requirements of certain provinces, to bring provincial services up to the aver- age Canadian standard, were an integral part of the financial " lsna recommended by the Howell oi; Conunission. In 1941 the Dominion accepted that principle. It was up. piled in certain wartime tax agree- mepts. Special rrovisinns “It must be noted also that the new Dominion revision of its ro- ppssis recognizes the special ud- getary problems of two provincial governments and makes special c ncessi n. for them while deny- ing such to others." Before the wartime tax agree- ments. the municipalities of New Brunswick occupied the income and corporation tax fields “in a general and substantial way.” Un- der the present agreement, tho Dominion in effect pays New Brunswick municipalities $1.384,- 410. Now New Brunswick was asked to exclude the mu icipalities from these fields but "a? the expense of the provincial treasury." “No one can reasonably suggest that the needs of our municipali- ties should be met out of our flat raic per capita grant." If this became necessary, New Brunswick would have to divert $3 out of every $15 received as sub- sidv to the municipalities. “To state that result should be sufficient to prove thl case for special treatment for our prov- ince. having in mind that an avow. ed purpose of the Dominion's pro- gram is to place each provincial government in a position to pro- vide the services for which It is constitutionally responsible.” Mr. McNair said the people of New Brunswick were “compelled with practically every purchase of manufactured goods to s_v a 5.11,. dy for the benefit 0 Canadian dustry elsewhere which has will doubtless seek to continue to shelter behind the protection of national policies." His Province was obliged to "place great store in Federal rub- sidies." The Rowell-Sirois Commission's recommendations. as enlarged in later studios. would have liflprgy- Mi ihc financial position of New Brunswick by nearly $4_p90|qg0 annually. “That estimate of our fiscal need. made st a time when administra- tion costs were considerably lovrcr than today, indicates Gist much antlal treatment through special tgratrgts, to bring our services up o enverazc ta-nd d i" throughout Cangda?“ Dav/u Jug P.

Without carefully worked out plans for the handling of the scr- vice men's claims. the unemploy- ment office would be in a state of confusion all the time, Mr. J. B. Murlcy. local manager, said yes- terday. The office not only handles the unemployment claims, nut conducts a registration bureau whose data is available to both employer and cmployee. It also issues national registration .c-rti- ficates. and has a very large out- of-town correspondence with em- plow-rs and employees. Of the 1.600 claims handled each week. 1.000 are for out-of-work benefits for err-service personnel. The remaining 600 are claims for unemployment insurance, most of which are l‘n the City. In order to have the payments made to the cx-servlce personnel without too much delay or con- fusion. the applicant is told to call at the office at a certain hour. If payment begins at i! o'clock. then five of the applicants are tolrl to he there at that time: the next five are requested to present themselves at 9:05: the next five at 9:10. and so on. Each man has his papers checked and verified and the check made out and pre- nented him within one minute so that every Jive minutes from the time payment begl s, five men have bccn accommo ated. Postal Claimants The task involving most of the clerical work is the checking over nnd making out checks to "postal claimants”. Mr. Murlev said. These “postal claimants" are ex-servlco personnel who live in the country and who are not able tn make req- uln" visits to the City. Their stoic- menis that fhov are out of work have to be verified by two of their nefohhnrs and all the “mitten-In- mattcr on tho regular form pres- cri-bcd for that purpose, has to be car-Mull" checked by the unemploy- necnt office. For the next few months at least there will be a decided clmp in the number of GX-HWVIFG claims.
