On the present bask of 40 _per cent. contributed by the Dominion, 40 per cent. by the provinces and 20 per cent. by the municipalities. it is estimated direct relief in the fiscal year 1941-42 would cost the Domin- ion government $7,000,000 as acnmst an actual outlay of $13.200,000 in the present fiscal vear. the minister told a press conference. Relief rolls had been s0 reduced. however. that the estimated expen- diture of the provinces and. the mu- nicipalities in bearing the wlirle cost would be 52.800000 le~s in 1041- 42 than they were in the fiscal vern- ending next. March 3i. with the Do- minion mdkiniz its contribution. News the Dominion Govern- ment would discontinue contri- butions for direct relief on March 31 was a. "shock to ntc", Mayor B. Roy Holman declar- eci last night. While the num- ber on relief rolls 1n Charlotte- town was less than at. the local: years it was not reduced n proportion to some other places, Mayor Holman said. In Charlottetown there had been no work more than last year since construction on the airport ended in the full. The airport job was t-he only jcc‘. which absorbed large numbers of workmen here last summer, he continued. Many former recl tents of relief not 0n the rols this year were dependents of “ten who en- listed in the armed forces. No orders for war material have been given firms here and consequently the situation in Charlottetown was not chanced much from tyhat it. was 1n recent years so for as employment went. ‘The provinces have repeatedly pledged their desire to cc-operritc with the Dominion in matters es- sentlal to the prosecution of the lwar,” said a prepared statement ‘issued by the minister. l "In the opinion of the Govern- ‘merit this co-c eratlon can bc ex- tended and wil be extremely help- ful if each of the provinces assum- es the responsibility cf such un- employment ald as may be neces- sary in the comlnliz year."

A 9.9 per cent lu- crease in clothing cost. was cited as an outstanding factor in the boost. Utiring Decetuber, 1940, the Bur- eaus index stood at 108.
