Plan Will Remain Ini Effect For One Year After End Of Hos- tilities.

By C. R. Blackburn Canal! an Press Staff Writer

OTTAWA. Jan. 15 —(CP) - Close to $100,000,000 will be requir- ed annually from the federal Z1885- ury to compensate the provinces which agree to vacate the personal income and corporation tax field for the duration of the war and one year after, Finance Minister Ilsley announced tonight,

The Minister, at a press confer- ence enrly this evening, released details of the draft agreements be- lng sent i0 the nine provinces-a- greements completed after months oi’ negotiations based on the min- ister's budget proposals last April that the provinces vacate these tax fields temporarily.

Mr. Iisley said he believed all the provinces would sign after their legislatures had approved the it- greements and passed the necessary tax amendments.

Compensation will be pnlfl the provinces, annually, pills "fiscal need" subsidies to Prince Edward Island, Nova Bcotia, New Bruns- wick, Manitoba and Saskatchewan. The following are the total a- mounts payable to each province:

Prince Edward Island S701.- 943; Nova Scotin $2,900,430; New Brunswick $3,650,061; Que- lm: SMJIMJQ/l: Ontario $28.- 981388; Manitoba $5,634,740: Saskatchewan $5,830,471; Ai- berta $4,080,218", British Coi- umbia 8l2.048.367.

The total of these payments is $84,521,466. In addition. the Federal treasury will nay grants to the pro- vinces sufficient to make up the amount by which their gasoline tax receipts fall below the totals col- lected ln 1940. For the nine prov- inces, gasoline taxes in 1040 airl- ountcd to about t50.738.5l4.

Mr. Ilsiey gave no detailed esti- mate on how much these gasoline grants would be each year, but he said that this part of the agree- ments “may prove to be very im- portant to the provinces, as when gasoline sales are rationed th.ir revenues from gasoline taxes may l;e seriously curtailed."

The total of about $100,000,000 s year needed to compensate the pre- vinces will include the grants to take the place cl‘ present provincial income and corporation lax collect- ions, and the gasoline payments.

The budget proposal, made as Mr, Ilsley raised federal taxes to unprecedented heights, was that
