Likelihood oi s change in the road maintenance system oi the Province was intimated in the legislature by Hon. George H. - Barbour. Minister of Highways, in the course of his sddreu on the Budget on Wednesday eve- n s

ng.

‘rheroaci tax last year. -‘ Mr. Barbour said. amounted to 825.000. whereas a few years ago it. was $0.000. Some improvement is "Out of the grant given to public works we must. take 8%,- 000 or 800,000 and pay it into the treasury," he said. "They get men then to work on the roads when it suits them. not when the work shouldjse done.

“I have been thinking that we will do better i.i we change that system. do away with the road tax altogetherland increase the land tax to make up for it. and add certain patrols on the road. We could give some men permanent work on the roads and I think we would get far better results."

Openln, ‘Remarks

If the Opposition were of Gov- ernment calibre they would be “all set for Attorney Generals at least," Mr. Barbour said. Their own Attorney General (Hon. Mr.

Heaviest taxpayers. This district was in the same position to the Province as Ontario was to the rest of Canada. It was centrally located and enjoyed advantages the outlying sections did not have. The people of North Cape. Tig- nish, West Cape, Murray Harbor and East Point were really the largat taxpayers because they had to drive several miles over poor roads and pay much more in gasoline. They were a saddled with much greater expense if they wanted to send their children to Prince oi Wales College.

Fourth Prince had twenty-seven miles of paved road. Mr. Barbour said. They should figure up the interest on these road expenditures that they have had the‘ use oi dur- the last ten years.

Chief Deficit Offender

In the matter of the deficit, he confessed, as Minister of Public Works he was the "chief offend- er." It was that bad last year that they were about $200,000 worse than their estimate. In 1943 there had been a very wet su - mer and any new roads machin . that were not properly gravelled were cut up by trucks in places where they did not have hard- wood land.

In the first years of the war the government machines were used by airport construction com- panies. but not recently. Mr. Bar- bour salcl. The department has 17 tractors, which have been in use. on the average. eleven years. Last year they paid about $30,000 ior parts for these machines, which went into current account. They also had to pay men to repair the tractors.

The department has nine grad- ers, all of them several years old. They could not purchase a. cuter- piiiar tractor since i938. They are hopeful of being able to get one container this spring.

"I expected all along that we might get some tractors from the ainport this year.“ Mr. Barbour . "There are two very good ones et Mount Pleasant. They have a snoluplow too. They will not be available until the airport closes and I don't know Just when that will be. I am afraid it will in time to be oi much use to us this summer." he said, costs three times as much as it cost ten years ago. Labour costs at least twice as much. These \vere factors in the increased expenditures in- curred last year.

During the four years 1980-1942 the Department collected $1,813,- IUI from gasoline tax. That paid during the same period the costs oi administration and suprrvision oi ltighways, the nmllttenancc of highways, bridges. ferries. and wharves. and the bushing of ice. and left a balance of $674.50.

The Minister said he had been

fie even in the fall of the year. He. referred to a conference of provincial departmental heads wit the minion cabinet some time ago. He had empha - ized that they expected to build a trans-Carlson highway from Bor- den to Charlottetown oi the same standard as the trans-Canada high. way in other provinces. They expected. two or three years after the war, to get a. large revenue from tourists. In this Province. he believed the tourist. trade would become the second Largest indus- try. "We expect thorn to supply all the money to build theee tour- ist roads," he said. “ . Crcrar said that prior to the war the tour- let business was worth $200,000,000 to Canada, andifthatoouldbe in- 00.000000 the Federal Government would be perfectly justified in spending a few mil- lions. But Mr. Ilsley said. "At the same time, we are operating in the red." He could not see that the Federal Government was lustified in giving large grants to pAOVLILCES that were having large surpluses. The matter was left there.

Reporting To Ottawa

"Some time ago I had e letter from the department preparing for the lnterprovincial Confer- ence. They asked me for e state- ment oi what was spent on our roads and bri ee since 1914. We o ba that far but we to 10% and sent them a statement." Mr. Barbour cited the figures. "This year," he continued, "we arc spending 0501.000 on the roads but we are spending 080,000 in re- avements and 8214.000 on . n your time you would ave both those items "in capital account and it would reduce the deficit now by $000,000. The rc- port tabled t is year was for a ifteen months period and that covered a provincial general elec-

tion year for that."

Federal Tax Collections

"When I sent the figures to the Dominion authorities we showed that we spent last year $520,000, and we put in our estimates $500.- 000, and when we go this year We I think the Leader of the Opposi- tion will agree that we should get more money from the Federal Government. The agreement made by this government with the Fed- eral Government. in 10411 was based pretty much on the revenue and expenditure of 19441. Since then our expenditures have increased in every department. There is never a meeting of the government but‘ someone wants more money for something. The Federal Gov- crnmcnt, too, I believe, is collect- ing twice as much in taxes as we were. If we had the amount of taxation over and above what the Federal. Government collected we would be able to balance our bud- get in 1044. When we go to the lnterprovincial Conference we will be able to show them that they collected much more taxes than we did."

Dr. McMillan: "In other words it was a bad bargain for us."

'>Housel1o|ders given priority in delivery of next winter's fuel if "they orclerfbefora June 1st,. . . .

Q Every Canadian householder is strongly urged to continue conserving coal, and to place his order for next winter's supply as soon as possible. The demand for coal is greater than ever before in history. In particular, the demand for household coal, up about 40% since the war began, now far outstrips the supply. It: will be absolutely necessarytfor every householder who ordinarily bums anthracite coal, to use a propor- tion of substitute fuels. If every householder co-operates with his coal dealer by placing his order at once, and accepts his fuel whenever his dealer is able to deliver it, the trucking problem will be greatly lessened.

Read these 3 Important New Regulations

Coal dealers must, available supplies of June 1, 1945.

Between April 1‘ and September 30, 1945, a consumer must not accept delivery of more Class "A” fuel than 75% of hie normal annual requirements. However, not more than 50% of the normal annual requirements may be in anthracite (Class “A” fuel). A consumer of Class "3" fuel must not accept delivery of more Class “B” fuel than 75% of his normal annual requirements, of which in the Maritime Provinces not more than 50% may be chestnut sized anthracite.

Every householder who buys hard coal or other Class "A" or "B” fuel is required

until September 30, 1945, give priority on deliveries of fuel to consumers who place their purchase orders before

to accept 25% in substitute fuel with each delivery. Coal dealers are prohibited from deliverin Class “A" or Class “B” fuel without at the same time delivering substitute fue . '

You can buy no more than 75% of your normal annual requirements in Class “A” or Class “B” fuel. This is the maximum and not a ration.

"If you burn Class “A" or Class "B” fuels you are l required to use substitute fuels in coniunction with a them, for the remaining 25% of your normal ' annual requirements. A

As an example, if you ordinarily use anthracite coll end burn six tons of fuel in the coal year just ending, the regulations permit you f0 order three tons of Class "A" anthracite, 11/, tons oi coke or other Class "A” fuel, and 1% tans of Class "C” fuel.

If you regularly use coke or pocahontas coal and burn six tons of fuel in the coal year just ending, you may order 4% tone of Class "A" coke or ,_ cehontes and 11/, tans of Class "C" fuel.

Class "3" fuel is provided for burning in equipment in which no other type of fuel can be satis- factorily uecd, such as blowers, Spencer heaters, magazine type heaters and anthracite atokcrs.

If you are a user of this type of equipment and you burned six tons of fuel in the coal year just ending, you are permitted to order 4% tons of Clese “B" fuel and 1% tons of Class "C" fuel.

The quantities of Class "A" and Class "B" fuels allowed under this Order are e maximum and are contingent upon sufficient supplies being available.

CLASS " B" FUELS

Class "B" fuels comprise: Unlbed States anthracite- Buckwheat Na. 1 size end Buckwheat No. 2 (Rice), in ell provinces to which this order applies, and Chestnut in the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Bruns- wick and Prince Edward Island only‘, Welsh enthra- olie-ull blower sizes; any mixture containing any of the above classifications of Class "B" fuel; rersge oolse in the province of Quebec only.
