Ottawa TOTIIght "For i3 years the budget in this , province has not been balanced. when this government came lntn offlce on Sept. 5. 1933. the fiscal year had only a few days to run. The deficit for that year had been estimated a few months previously at $484,000 When the books were closed on Sept. 30, 1933. and when the balance was struck, we were disappointed and alarmed to find the deficit was $1,618,000. “In. our first year of ofiicc. while we had hardly an opportunity to properly set our sells and while we had to meet heavy items in respect of old age pensions and school books. we were nevertheless able to reduce that deficit to $1,292,300. "In the succeding year we cut more than $300,000 o1‘. first/deficit and in the public accounts which I tabled e. few days ago we showed a deficit for the 12 months period said. by making savings wherever possible and by paying due atten- tion to the collection of revenue we are budgeting for a. deficit of $361.- 000. "In thse unsettled times it is very difficult to peer into the fu- ture hut I think I can say to this House with every confidence that if this government maintains in the year that. lies immediately ahead the same rate of progress as that which it has achieved in the past, when the budget is brought down in 1937 we will be able to show the people of Nova Scotia for the first time in 14 years a balanced budget." In estimating for revenue of $9.- 99B,862.60, the Premier indicated an increase of $878,125. The de- partment of highway; was expect- ed to bring in $318,000 more than the previous , the department of health $28,000, provincial sec- retary 8280.000, provincial treas- urer $217,000, work and mines $92,- 000. Decreased revenue was ex- pected in the department of the Attorney General, $12,000, ed- ucation $2,000, agriculture $11,300. public service $12,000, labor $700- Increased returns were estimat- ed in all branches of the highways department. Owing to the hard- surfaclng program it had been found possible to lessen the am- ount to be voted for maintenance of trunk reads. More money was to be devoted to the upkeep of county and local roads. and the department's expenditures were set at $208,000 more than the previous year. _ An increase in revenue from the provincial treasurers department was expected to be derived chiefly from a federal subsidy greater by $188,000 and an increase of $10,000 in profit; from the liquor com- mission. Expenditures in this de- partment were increased $174,407 due to interest on the funded debt. Other departments given more money to spend than the previous year were Attorney General $49,- 000. agriculture $35,000. 060ml $N,000, provincial secretary $11,- 000, public service $4.285 and labor 84.920. Expenditures of the department of education were expected to be 809,000 lower, due to decreased de- mand for free school books, and the estimate for the department of public works and mines was down 082,000 owing in part to a lower deficit at the Invemesa mine and in pert to higher coal royalties.
