Its current Public finance statis- tics contained "elements of serious 11151811111148" the commLssion warri- ed. The effect of the commission's general finance plan would be m improve the position of the Ngva, Ssgetlgoo sevgrnaielne annually by b? . an i Ocal governments by $194,000. The. commission recognized Nova. Sootias long stru le with serious economic disabilities and its fru- gal administration. "The relatively 10w and variable cash proportion of the income and the fact that an important amount of sunplus income and wealth ls drained off to central Canada, impose hm“. aliens on the tax system and at the same time create special de- mands fcr expenditures," its re- port stated. "rm current effort f4 otrehggh. en the economy by large-scale capital expenditures has added substantial fixed charges and the debt. structure is such that there is little prospect of reduction in ex- 151111: charges through normal re- funding operations." The commission found that ed- ucation and welfare expenditures increased during the 1930s in re. 1801011 1O 0121161‘ plbvlnces but, were still materially below the national per tapita average. It estimated an additional expenditure of $600 000 a year on these services would b11112 them up to average.

That works program. the com- mlsion saJd, provided necessary and productive works on very fav- orable terms but it could not be continued on anythln approach- ing the same scale. rovincial net debt service charges increased 30 per cent in two years.

Tho debt, with comparatively low tax revenues-total provincial- municlgal. revenues were given u two-tl-i tho national average- created a situation in which tho provincial government would be hard pressed to carry present bur- dens even with substantial in- creases in provincial taxation, the commission stated.

While the direct benefits On. tario governments would receive under the cvmmlsslon’; ppm mlghfl not in themselves justify such 5111611111111! 0115118135 as were recom- mended. the report asserts: more 1111510 811d lmllnrtant benefits would result for Ontario from nation. wide improvement. It pointed to Ontario's position as industrial and financial centre of the country, “the logical m“- cent-ration point. for profits and fortunes of the outlying regions," as a result of natural advantages and national policies. For tho some 11185011. it was sensitive and vul- nerable to regional disasters and bankruptcies Outside lab bbpdg", Strong Munlclpalltlel Outstanding featum of tlu On. tario revenue system was tho 11 $16111, both proportionately and a. - solutely, of real estate taxation. Because of this, Ontario muni- qliiallties on the whole were in n ‘comfortable financial position," by far the strongest, in Canada. Ontario had been in o pin-fig“- iarly favored position to develop succession duties and income taxes, the report said. In the decade cud- ing 1937. for instance, Ontario col- lected $l00.000.000 succession dut- ies of total succession duty collec- tions of 8180000000 in Canada. The high yield 0f general prov- incial taxation was held to bo 11191913’ a reflection of the much higher averaige per capitb, lncmne enjoyed in Ontario-in 1937 h was 43 Der cent above the rest of Can- a a. Statistically the final plan pro- posed would improve the Ontario government’: pmitioh b $5,320,000 on the basis 0f i937 fgures. No adjustment grant would be ne- 01155111‘? 8s it would be in the case of other provinces. MANITOBA ion gave the Manf- cial position. Because of the low standard of services at prasentl carried, however. spending about half the amount necessary to main- tain a national average, a national '10 adjustment grant of $1,500,000 was also recommended. ThL-i would still not bring services up to stlmd-| ard but taxes could be increased to- cover the remainder. QUEBEC A "fairly drastic" overhauling of Quebec's provincial revenue system is necessary. as indicated by ex- periences of the last few years. thel Commision h d. i To support the new level of ex-l pendlturcs and greatly enlarged‘ debt. reorganization of the inter-I ml division of revenues and re- sponsibilities between province and municipalities is required, as well as a broadening of the provincial- munlclpal tax base. according to the commlnlon. The financial position of Quebec "deteriorated alarmingly" during the depression. its revenue system proving to be a "fair weather hue only." the commission found. Dc- lnv in overhauling the revwnue system in the lace of new eco- nomic circumstances resulted in pllltul up a heavy burden of dead- welght dcbt. Net debt service costs increased about $2,200,000 from 1937 to I939. Quebec municipalities paid 28 per cent of relief costs. compared to i5 in all the rest of Canada. The Oommiss toba government credit for fol- lowing a "severe policy of retrench- ment." although in some cases do. ferring maintenance expenditures which might prove oostly in the run. The government chose a "direct and efficient though not particularly popular method of maintaining revenues by imposing a two-per-ccnt special income tax —to create the heaviest income tax on loiy income group in North America. "These measures. with Drxninion assistance, sufficed tb weather the worst of the storm and Manitotn has recently been favored with ex- ceptionally good crops." comment- ed the report. "Manitoba. remains hltiidicaped. however, by a rigid public debt structure and b a chronic metropolitan unenipoy- ment problem which affects the suburban municipalities tlculcr." Education. welfare and deitclolp- mental services all suffered severe- ly in the retrenchment. so that now an additional $1,100,000 would be required to bring them up to the nnlqual average. Highway ex- penditures hnd also been reduced $200.00.’) below the 1928-31 average. To bring these services up to oversize and at the same time per- mit Manitoba. to be transformed from one of the most heavily taxed areas in the Dominion to average. an adjustment, grant of $2,100,000 was advised.
