Paving Programme Coming to the Government's paving programme for the present year, the Premier said it consists of three items, completion of projects slreuJy be- gun. These sre u follows: to Dingwell’: Mills. connecting Souris and the north- eastern part of the province with the main trunk highway system. 2.

ESTIMATED REVENUE Dog Tu And school Books Disc estimated revenue, the Premier sa d it intended to make s, chcgfie t is year in dog tax collections. is tax originally was imposed as s protection to sheep breeders. The col action by the pro- vincial treasury apparently lllVOlVEd an amount of expenditure and un- leasantness out of proportion to e retwns. It is proposed to turn the collection of this tax over es revenue to the trustees of the local school districts. The tax Will be en- essential to en- children of indigent families nd school. “It may be said that this is s snmli beginning but I believe that with such care ul husbanding ss the trustees o1 the school districts will be able to give to the matter there should be a. revenue of $4,000 or $5,000 at least and that will en- able some experiment alon the lines of free school books to e menced. Governmental Rentals com- Two new items of revenue were cited by the Premier, one of $600. from the R. C. M. P. for occupancy of n portion of the court house at Summerside; another item of $2.500 rental from the tenants of the Bank of Canada, building which was pur- projects," the Premier said. “That will depend on the policy and pro- gramme of the Dominion Govern- ment in those directions and on the assistance which we are able to obtain from that, source. “There remains of our trunk highway two connecting links, one from Charlottetown to Borden by way of Bonshaw, the other one linking up the eastern points in- cluding Georgetown, Cardigan snd Dundas. In normal times I believe we should have been encouraged by the expansion of gasoline tax and m0t.or vehicle revenue to st- tempt to proceed immediately with the completion of those projects. Unfortunately there is the some- what uncertaln effect of wsr con- ditions which would seem to make advisable the postponement of cs the PX‘ , much work on the projects and also on the secondary roads as is ‘not absolutely necessary for the pre- . sent year at least. “We should be inclined to follow that some procedure in the case of the first two roads which mentioned, namely from Morell to DlngwelPs Mills and from Montrose to Tlgnlsh, were it not for the foctuthat thée former dot those roec is u a y "11 e!’ Th9 R0311 Visit. illvfilvillil m" contragt alt an extremely favorable rate, and the second. from Mont- mwnung t° $10582- Was 315° TB- i rose to Tlgnlsh, lies in part oi’ the l country where s paving plant has been set up for and which if that section of road is not completed this year ince in common with the rest of W111 doubtless be I replacement of e. new setup with the probable increase in the scale expenditures the Premier caieulat-i 0g Conn-Mg price; for this form of ‘work, woufd involve no doubt s very greatly increeui expenditure if that portion of work were de- ferred. For those reasons it seems imperative to continue with these two projects during the present "I don’t think I need mske my comment as to the desirability and necessity of re-payrlng the portion of road lying between the Hillsaoro Bridge snd the provincial highway The Premier sdded that I an! ambitious paving M0- gramme is to be carried out, new sources of revenue must be found and allocated for the purpose. Csnse ef Deficits? "I have attempted to indicate." he continued, "that although cap- ital expenditure om highways have been large, they have not been the cause of the deficits which are shown and forecast. What then is the cause of such deficits? I think the answer is that they are due merely to increases in what may be termed public welfare services." In i939, he continued, expenses for public health, Falconwood Hos- pital end Infirmary, grants to hos- pitals, child welfare, old age and. blind pensions, unemployment rc- lief, vital statistics, grant to San- atorium and other plblic welfare grants totalled $581,691. money came out of current socount. In 1034 the expenditures on those items amounted to 8375.31. sn in- crease in five years of more than $310,000. Going buck to 1925 he found that similar expenditures totalled only $117100. Other items of increased ex- penditure were gasoline rebates. loans and assistance to fishermen; loss claims paid to flshennen; un- employment projects: distribution of seed grains; assistance to dis- youth training; relief projects for Charlottetown; which added to the public welfare expenditures already cited mule s. grand total of $961,078. "I think those figures are much more alarming that the sums spent on paved highways, because the capitol expenditure on highways creates n. revenue producing asset," the Premier said. ‘The public wel- fare expenditures on the other hand yield no pecuniary revenue ey- cepi in the form of proportionate contributions from the (Dominion Even that Dominion Government revenue has the dis- advantage of requiring increased expenditure of provincial momays." The total of Dominlm Govern- ment revenue received, subsidy and the amount from the C. N. 3., was $1,152,151. that money is spent and circulat- ed ln the Province, and to that ex- tent. it is beneficial. But apart from tress-ed farmers; chased by the Government during ‘the year. It is contemplated that alter the close of the present your it will be possible to make use ol the spoce in this building for hous- ing some of the departments and branches of government winch arc now scattered in various Durts 01 the city. The blllltllllg L; intended ultimately as an annex to the pres- ent Provincial building. Referring to the estimate for the Provincial Sanatorium, increased this year from $33,000 to $38,000, 01.8 Premier said this expenditure would likely continue to increase until the facilities for treating, tuberculosis are axle uate. The original agree- ment ca. led for an annual expendi- ture of only $12,000. Two reasons for the continued increase were given, namely, provision of extra bed ac- commodation and the necessity of accommodating an ever increasing number of non-paying patients. "The suggestion comes to us.’ the Premier continued, "that there should be some source of revenue, specially collected and specially ex- pended, for purposes of pubiic health. There are very considerable revenues-over half e milliun d01- lars-—whlch are allocated for the purpose of highway maintenance, but public health and public wei- fare expenditures do not bring W101 them any correspondin income. It therefore seems ineyitab e that some source of revenue should be devis- ed, collected and set aside for these services. The Government has been giving very careful consideration to this problem during the past two cr three years. "The suggestion which _I shell have to make is that a committee be appointed by this House to study in detail the various phases of tlis problem during the recess months. and report its findings at the next reggéaryannual session of the A5- se .’ Dealin briefly with war-time farm pro lems, the Premier cited advice recently received from the Federal Minister of Agriculture, to the effect that the experience of the present conflict to date does not indicate the advisability of greatly increased Or greatly specialized pro- duction. Farmers were advised to continue rung present reduction lines, giving immediate a. tention to improving quallt, and stepping up the demand as t develops, Prohibition Plcblsclte Included in the estimates was sn i f .000 f i blscltc ‘igfmpgldllgld, 8n ‘$19 pr0%il:ti%xl ques- on. The H-emler devoted some time to c discussion o! the issue 0i’ PN- hlbltion vs. the sale of beer and light wines. maintaining that there was s. divided opinion as to the merits of our present Prohibition Act and that it was for the people to decide, by plebiscite, whether or not they wanted a change. The plebiscite would be "held shortly", he said, and the basic question would be whether to re- tain the present Act or to substi- tute a. system allowing the sale of beer and light wine by permit for beverage purposes, 1n any case spirituous liquors would still be sold only on o physicians prescrip- ion. In the event of the amendment coming into effect as o, result of the Blebiscite, the Premier did not thin any additional revenue which would accrue should be put into current account until the system had been tried and approved. In any case he was estimating for B decreased revenue in vendors‘ sales as compared with last year. The laws of the Province, he said, have been "vigorously and effectively enforced." Special 3t. tention had been given to highway petrol and as a result there was d marked decrease in reckless driving. He referred to mom.» 11- cgense cancellations and stressed 1- e imlflrlflnce of this measure as s deterrent. In conclusioka he reviewed the ems 0 c017 1 e cnditure o- telling $406,500. x” ‘ Says Industrial Planning Needed HALFAX.
