The Do- minion Government had the pol- icy, he said. In regard to artificial insemin- stlon unit, he stated that such a unit would cost one quarter of s million dollars. He did not think it was succeed‘ so wel in other provinces, and in those provinces. he added, the people pay for par‘! of the services. Answering a de- mend for consideration of a fish- meal plant project, he said that negotiations were already under- way for one. Dr. Msclilllian "It is the function of the Gov- ernment to deal with all recom- mends‘lun. in the wisest manner possible", stated Hon. Dr. W. _-T. 1’- Macbfillsn, who was not present when the brief was read. He indi- cated that he was in favor of re- stricting margarine from enterlnz this province in which the condi- tion of agriculture was a long way from being satisfactory. "1 am not satisfied with the handlink and management of the potato industry." he stated. "I would limit the acreage and cut out the speculators. We need mix- ed farming here which I! much better than putting all our eggs in a gambling basket. "My attitude is that whatever the Government ploposes to do to aid agriculture the OPPOIWOH W1“ help. It is the duty of the Gov- ernment and the Iaellllllufe '0 nurture and develop the industry.’ Other Speakers Mr. Louis O'Connor. lmiident 0' the Federation, in remarks apart from the brief warned the L931!- lature about the danger of allow- ing margarine to enter the P|'°V' ince.

Village Service Bill In legislalure Provision for enabling villages with populations in excess of 100 persons to establish local admin- istration under elected commis- sioners is made in a bill which passed second reading in the Leg- islature yesterday. Entitled “The Village Service Act", and introduced by Hon. Eugene Cullen, Minister of Indus- try and Resources. the bill pro- vides that when the inhabitants of any village in the Province de- sire to avail themselves of the legislation, they may present a requisition signed by at least twenty-five ratepayers to the County Sheriff, requesting him to hold a. poll on the subject. Only such residents as are pos- sessed of real or personal property of the value of $350 or upwards within the boundaries of the vil- lage may vote. If a majority of the votes polled are in favor of the application. the Lieutenant- Governor-in-Council may by pro- clamation bring the Act into ef- fect, defining the boundaries of the village to which it applies and ap- pointing thtee commissioners who shall hold office until connois- sioners are elected at the first an- nual mee-ting thereafter. . The commissioners are vested with the ordinary powers of a town council, their bylaws. ordin- ances, etc., when approved by the Minister. having the force and ef- fect of law. ‘ Attica Wins Vote of confidence LONDON.

We feel that a policy on some. what similar lines. and recom. mended by the Agricultural coun. cil should receive careful investig- ation. "W9 5‘ -'.. recommend that a conference be held between our leading livestock farmers and of- flclfl-ls at the earliest possible moment to discuss this matter. We believe a bonus policy might create more interest and be of sreater value to the majority of our grade breeders. We might hi.-so suggest that every effort be moxie to have the Dominion Production Service revamp their present Bull Looming policy on the Island to Dominion authorities with respect. to potato , storage warehouses. Farmers in many areas are anxious to take advantage of the amlstance offered by the Dominion Govern- ment in this respect. The ware- houses. generally speaking. in spite of any contrary representations that may have been made, on working successfully and are pro- viding a very valuable service to our potato gmwers who have them. Prod-ucers in many areas are anxious to establish such storages which they can market a uniform pack in an orderly way and store small quantities at rail siding: during the fine weather and good roads. We ask for renew- ed efforts to reach an agreement with t-he Dominion authorities at the earliest possible moment so that some measure of assistance will be available. «We strongly urge that such warehouses con- tinue to be established on a co- operative basis where they will be uncier supervision and remain in the control of the farmproducers." Regret was expressed that the artificial imemlnation unit was disbanded. as the project is meet- ing with a great deal of success in other provinces. The department was commended for the work dome in the provincial laboratory with respect to blood testing of poultry and checking of diseases satis- faction was also expressed with the progress being made with swine. The banning of margarine from the province and a new livestock program to promote the breeding of good grade dairy cattle was urged. Appreciation was expressed for the help in bonusing frclg-ht on limestone, and approval of a probable grain seed survey to be undertaken during the coming summer was expressed. ‘ The services of a qualified field crop expert in theprovince toas- sist the farmers and promote the production, c'.ea.ning and grading of aigh quality seed grains was urg . "We regret very much that you have not seen fit to procure quali- fied C<‘Jl.lIltj' Agricultural repre- sentatives for Prince and Kings Counties. Without going into the details which are apparent to‘_all, we urge you to appoint qualified full time Agricultural Representat- ives for Prince and Kings this spring, so that the farmers in those counties will have ready ac- cess to mfarrnation and help with various technical problems." The brief noted that the Govern- ment has seen fit to investigate the land drainage problem and suggested that the forestry prob- lem should be g.'.en very careful attention stressing the need of the services of two or three forcsters during the next two or three years. Appreciate Action Appreciation of the Govern- ment's efforts towards solving the transportation problem was ex- pressed, but more alertness on the part of railway officials in the Msrltlmes to the need of an ml- vance supply of reefer cars for the potato movement was asked. Appreciation of the facilities provided for the vocational train- ing was also expressed and the co- operation of the Federation to- wards maklng contacts with mo rural youth and explaining the training was promised. The brief recommended that a. survey‘ re- specting the feasibility of a. fish- meal plant be made. The Federation indicated, that rural telephone companies opera‘.- ing as utilities were providing poor service due to their run down structural and mechanical condi- tion. They strongly urged that the Public Utilities Board be instructed to institute a policy of inspection and supervision over those rural lines so that those companies will be required to restore and main- tain their corporation, lines and phones in s , standard of efficiency. The brief gave an illustration of the trend of production costs and the comparative returns to farm- ers on three main food items over rhfive year period.

Mr. Darby said. “We can feel reasonably certain, how- ever. that with the large work! program projected for the coming year, with the increasing tourist traffic. and with the general level of business conditions throughout the country, no serious lecasio - is likely to occur during the en- suing period. and no doubt you will be happy to learn there will be no increase in taxation. SUPP‘! “The Supply proposed to be. granted to His Majesty involves exvpend-itures on ordinary account of $6,498,288, and these we now submit for your consideration. This represents an increase over the current year by an amount of -$384.10 "The proposed expenditures are as follows: On debt charges and sinking fund $1,080,495; health and welfare $2,508,232; education $917.- 500; administration of justice $139,- 540; legislation $82,080; agriculture $209,685: industry and natural re- sources $84,250; public works and highways $888,895: refunds of rev- enue $202,000; other current ex- penditures $78,511; general govern- meni,'$355,300. Total $6,496,288. “The proposed disbmselnen-is provide for an anticipated surplus on ordinary account of $45,434." Past Year Reviewed The Public Accounts for - the year ending March 31. 1949, shows: Provincial revenues, $5.- il88,162.19; provincial expenditures. $4,979,207.35, and a surplus on ordinary account of $708,954.84. During the year ca/pltal expendi- tures were $2,237,258.40 and capital interest on sinking fund. Total ex.- pend-lture ordinary and capital amounted to $7,293,430.50, total revenue to $5,813,276.83. leaving I gross deficit of $1,330,153.87. Deducting from this ihe -sinic- ing fund provision of $388,003.00 and adding interest of $76,864.75, left -a total of $485,967.75, or I net increase in liabilities of $014,- 185.92. The estimated increase in liabil- ities according to the Budget adopted in March. "1048, was $1,- 187,332.00: so that the actual in- crease was $273,147.00 less than budgeted for. In the forecast of receiipls and expenditures presented at the last Session the anticipated increase in liabilities was calculated at $913,- 824.00 — the actual $914,185.92 — a difference of only $581.00. The total liabilities of the Prov- ince as of March Ill, 1948 were 311.958.848.52, which added to ihe above mentioned increase of $914,- 185.92. left total liaibili-ties at March 31, 1949, of $l2.873.032.44. This was made up as follows: gross funded de-bt $3,823,000.00, lem sinking fund $1,820,325.96, or a net funded debt of $12.002.874.04. The unfunded debt amounted to- femporary loans $1,620,461.45, lea current accounts $750,103.05. “Though the public debt was in- ycar," Mr. Darby said, “at the same time we acquired capital as- sela consisting of highways. bridges, wharves and road ma- chinery st a cost of 31.378.338.76: fixed assets such as additions to Falconwood. Beech Grove. Voca- lions] School, snow-plough sheds. cold storage plant, etc. at a cost of $514,381.21. and made loans and advances totalling $2l0,8N.90—or I grand total of $2,103,850.87." if the Province carried a stale- meni. of assets and liabilities the showing would be as follows: An increase in oasis of 52.103.850.87 less increased liabilities of $914,- 185.82 or an added net worth of $1.- lii8,864.82 as if result of the ycar‘s activities, Mr. Darby emphasized. "I believe it would be a step forward if this Province main- tained such an account and we have under consideration such a move.“ he added. On ordinary account the rev- enues were as stated before-33,‘ 888,182.19. and expenditures $4.- 079,207.35. These figures are com- psrativcly large in relation to those obtaining some years ago: Expenditures in 1829 were $1.- l42.000: in 1934 $1,886,000: in 1930 $2,198,000, and in 1944 $2,988,000. For the fiscal year ending March 31, 1947. these had climbed to $3,- 813,000.00; in 1948 to $4,875,000.00. Increased Demands “This tremendous increase in Provincial expenditure is due largely lo the increasing demands for health and welfare services. for extended highway and paving programs, for increased expend- itures in education, as well as the rising cost of living due to the war lnflationsry period." ihe minister said in. this connection he noted for public health and welfare, in- $807.000; 1947 $991-1.000; 81.733.023.89. in Child and mm:_-.- weliar.- portion of our revenues are de- tilat in 1828 the total expenditure eluding Falconwood, was $147,000.

The legislation will allow the sale of margarine but will ‘restrict its color to pre- vent smltation of butter. If the bill was passed, he said. and this appeared likely, it would be held for proclamation until the Privy Council gives its decision on the appeal of the Canadian Agri- culture Federation.

I. supreme Court. meanwhile, still has not passed down a decision on the validity of the lam Dairy Act under which the P. 18.1. margarine ban was im- posed. The Act, not proclaimed until early last year, does not pre- vent Islanders from bringing in the butter substitute from other provinces. Delegates Iiebuked The Federation brief asked for increased services and faculties for agriculture and it resulted in a sharp rebuke from Premier Jones in reply. The premie chastised the deleg- ation for its insistent complaining that conditions were not satisfact- ory in the industry. He said that he could remember. The delegation complained that markets was their main problem but the Premier said the trouble was with the pro- ducers. "If you were good farmers, you wouldn't be here now. You can't run around to meetings and such and expect to be successful You must pay more attention to your farms," he said. Many of the projects they ad- vocated -were out of the scope of the Provincial Government, some had been or were being acted upon, others could not be consid- ered pralctical, he said. Before he wound up he gave them s. few helpful suggestions, based on his experience as a farmer and his reading on agricultural problems. After the brief was presented the House spent most of a three-hour sitting in committee of the whole. creased from $6,500 in 1939 to $103,- 173 in 1949. Public works and highways ex- penditures in 193 were $281,- 000; in 1934 $850,000; in 104-4 $595,- 000; 1947 $865,000, and in 1948 $1,- 117,000; whlle for the fiscal year ending March 31. 1049, they amounted to $741,442.40. The re- duction in the latter year was due mainly to large expenditures of a capital nature. _ In the Department of Education °"“9°d by 39“'185'92 during the similar increases are reflected in h expenditures mainly in relation to teachers’ salaries: in 19% these were $292,000; in 1034 $335,000; 1944 $486,000; and in 1948 $743.- 280.00. - llcvénue Sources Reviewing the sources from which revenues were derived in order to maintain these fields of governmental services, the Minis- ter said: “ln the fiscal year ending March 31, 1049, revenues reached an all- time high of $5,688,182.10. Of this amount from Ottawa we re- ceived from subsidies $847,181.81“ contributions to old age pensions and other assistance grants, $782,- 570.37; under the tax agreement in lieu of taxes, $1,443,088.00; plus ad- ditional money based on gross na- tional product. $358,813.43. a total of $3,229,433.88. "The balance was derived from Provincial sources as follows: From local taxes, real property. gaso1inc,. amusement. succession duty and public health-tax, $1,420,- 308.07; from permits, licenses and fees, $387,028.51; from Prohibition and Temperance Acis, $550,719.83; and from penalties and sundry items. $100,878.30; or a total of $2,- 458,728.51. "Thus out of a tolal of $5,888,- 182.18 we received from the Do- minion Government in one form or another, $3,229,433.88 and the bolance,—$2,458,728.5l——from Pro- vincial taxation sources. The main items of local revenue were: Gasoline lax, $985,648.85; amusement tax. $105,308.42: pub- lic health tax (liquor and tobacco) $285,885.32: motor vehicle llocnses, $252,592.23, and Temperance Act, $550,710.88; __total1ing $2,158,952.45. These revenues are not of a fixed or constant character but would be subject to drastic revision down- ward in case of a recurrence of a depression period. Ottawa Payments "It is true that of the $3,219,433.88 year. the subsidy payments $847,181.88 and the contributory other grants in the amount $782,570.37 or a source," the Minister said. Continued cn page 1:‘. received from Ottawa during that of payments for old age pensions and of lolal of $1,439,752.25 are unaffected by the ‘tax agree- ment but the balance of $1,707,881,- 4i is derived directly from that ‘This represents the payments received for the tax rental of income tax among all the Provinces.‘ The Opposition leader followed Hon. Mr, Darby in the debate, and woke for an hour before moving the adjournment at 10.30 11.11:, when the House rose to meet chi; afternoon at 3 o'clock. Subsidy Awards Dr. MacMl1lan reviewed pasl efforts to obtain increased subsidy ‘mm Ottawa. stating that under the Mathleson Government and throush the Duncan and White Commission award; the Iglgnd had obtained judgments against cu. ads in interest payments on claims Im°l"Ii9lnl to over $8,000,000 " Two of these awards were thrown into the pot" when ch.

Dr. MacMl11sn maintained an: the Mathieson award had been written into the B.N.A, Act in 1912 The other subsidies, amounting to. 3275.000 annually. were not includ. ed until the 1942 agreement was signed. and as a result this Prov. ince was entitled to an amount of -000 by Way of an unsatis- fied judgment claim uggjnu th.

MscMll|sn said. He quoted an ara- me ‘“ Time Mllszine indlcatlnl “ll! the Province had .esched the he'll‘! Of Us prosperity under Premier Jones. but this was not the story the farmers had as can in their appearance this afternoon before the Legislature. ‘Where is our vaunted prosper- ity.--What is the guage?" asked Dr. Maolvilllan. He maintained that the amounts paid out in social service; however necessary unrler present conditions, were not indicative of progress. Looking back twenty-five years c noted an increasing number of persons requiring to he cared for at the Infirmary. and said it was a sad commentary on the younger generation when they shirk the task of looking after their aged parents. "In fact it is coming to the time when the Government is expected to look after everything and everyone," he said. “I think often that so far as the amenities of Christianity are concerned, we are making progress in the wrong direction." Noting the reference in the Min- ister’: speech to the large disburse- ments in health and welfare, the speaker recalled that the Health Department originated with A Can- servafive government under his own administration, and that the Provincial Sanotorium lied been built by the public at the instance largely of the Women’: Institutes, an institution which also had been esiahllsherl by a Conservative Gov- ernment under the late Hon.

Last year the Premlcr improved somewhat on the meagre budget deliveries of his immediate predecessor in the treasury. but "this year it was much better." The new Minister had been given the most difficult role in the Government to fill, and the Opposition did not propose to criticise him severely. “But I do see signs of that dis- affecilon with which the whole Government is ravaged." Dr. Mao Mlllsn added, "and I am afraid ll won't be long before he is jusl like the rest of them.
