THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1929 BRITISH BUDGET 15 PRESENTED (Continued from Page 1) spectable solid budget surplus had been realized this year. Material prosperity had maintained a steady advance. in Alcohol It w a good sign, he said, that there had been a record consump- tion of tea and also a notable de- cline in the consumption of alco- holic liguor accompanied . by pro- gressive diminution of drunkenness, .. Government Economies The government's greatest econ- omieg had been in armaments upon which savings of £7,500,000 (about $37,000,000) had been made since the Conservatives took over the government from the Laborites in 1924, There was no room for large cuts in the social services said the chancellor, while large cuts in ar- maments were dependent on inter- national agreements which he fear- ed would not be as easy to reach as all could hope, and even then were limited by theabsolute requirements of safety to the British Isles and the unity of the Empire. Large reductions in the navy could not be made without Great Britain falling below the one pow- er standard which he considered would be a fatal position, or with- out endangering the Empire's trade routes, nor could the air force de- velopment he safely held up. He then proceeded to a defense of the return to the gold standard as offering lasting advantages. Ag to the arrest in the develop- ment of Britain's air forces, Mr. Churchill said that this could not be safely done without placing the country largely at the mercy of that very neighbor toward whom we are constantly accused of being subser- vient and whom Mr. Lloyd George is never too busy to offend." This was accepted by his hearers as a reference to France. The present bookmakers' license of £10 annually, would be continu- ed and a duty of £40 annually im- posed on every telephone in the offices of bookmakers producing £500,000 annually. There will be a manufacturers' brewers license to counterbalance the brewers' benefits under the de- rating proposals. The Chancellor said that there would be a 25 per cent. reduction in beer and spirit licenses as from October 1. : Certain harbor dues would be re- duced and improved telephone fac- {litie#s accorded rural districts. Estimated Surplus These concessions would reduce theestimated surplus to £10,546,~ 000 (approximately $52,700,000). Last year's budget, which Mr. Churchill also presented to the House, afforded an estimated sur- plus of £6,302,000. (roughly $31,- 510,000). This was based on an estimated expenditure of £806,195,- 000 (approximately ($4,030,000,~ 000), and an estimated revenue of £812,497,000 (approximately $4,- 060,000,000). ' The Chancellor announced that the tea duty would be immediately removed. - The income tax would remain unchanged under the budget. Use of Surplus Asked what he was going to do with his, surplus, Mr, Churchill said that there would be an in- crease in the percentage granu tor road improvement and new con- struction up to a certain amount, In the Government's view unem- ployment could be reduced to nor- mal by a revival of industry as a whole, an despecially the basic in- dustries. Railway passengers duties would ge abolished on an undertaking of the companies to devote the savings to the modernization of equip- ment, The Chancellor said that further -relief for productive 1n- dustrp would be provided by bring- ing relief of rates for agricultural produsers into immediate opera- tion from April 1, instead of from October next. The manufacturers' relief must wait until October. Up to this point he estimated that the surplus. would be reduced to 10,- 246,000 pounds, from which fur- ther relief would be provided for the tax payers. I Tax Ui ged He then announced that the in- come tax would remain unchanged but that the tea duty would be im- mediately abolished. Coffee, co- coa, and chicory would not be af- fected. The cost to revenue of the tea ta repeal would be 6,150,000 pounds. He estimated the budget surplus on the new basis at 4,096,- 000 based on an estimated full rev- enue of 826,680,000 pounds (about $4,133,000,000) with a total esti- mated expenditure of 822,584,000 (about $4,112,920,000). The Chancellor resumed his seat at 5.45 after speaking for almost -two and a half hours, Seeks Tea Drinkers' Support London, April 15.--The pre- election budget speech in the House of Commonsof Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, today, revealed him making a dramatic drive for the tea-drinkers' friend- ship which méans practically that of every man, woman and child in Great Britain. Towards the end of his address which lasted two and a half hours, he announced the immediate abso- lute abolition of the tea duty at a cost to the treasury of more than £6,000,000 or approximately $30,- 000,000. This was the outstanding feature of his taxation announce~ ments. The chancellor, who was present- ing hig fifth budget to the House of Commons estimated. the govern- ment's expenditures for 1929-1930 at 741,964,000 pounds sterling, Th I feel like a new person now."

Revenue for 1929-1930 was esti- mated on the existing basis of taxa- tion at 763,940,000 pounds sterl- ing (approximately $3,769,700,- 000) this would give a prospective surplus of 11,976,000 pounds, or roughly $59,835,000. Mr. Churchill vigorously defend- ed the safeguarding of industries act. Debt Situation Dealing with the debt position, he said the country's obligations under existing debt contracts had been reduced in four years by 175,- 000,000 pounds streling, which re- presented almost exactly what Pre- mier Lloyd George proposed to spend in a couple of years in trying to win the general election. The nation's meagre savings were to be "butchered to make a showman's holiday," Mr. Churchill said amid ministerial cheers. The chancellor declared that the existing turnover tax on betting would be immediately repealed. He added that the betting tax for which he himself was responsible had been a failure and a fiasco and had caused more trouble than it was worth. House Agrees The House of Commons agreed to the repeal of the tea and betting duty and then immediately adjourn- ed until tomorrow. y TORONTO-OSHAWA BUS SERVICE IS 0 BE DOUBLED (Continued From Page 1) we would have to buy out certain private bus operators in April. Give Hourly Service "Last week, after the purchase of the five routes, we placed an order for 15 more busses to look after the needs of the lines we have just acquired. On one deal we got no busses and the previous owner was operating five. We will have to give an hourly service to Oshawa in place of the two-hour service, and we have never taken over a bus route yet without ex- periencing an increase in the busi- ness that was done by the line un- der private operation." The original order for 20 will look after the increased business that is expected and is now being handled on the Toronto and Niagara lines. Fifteen of these busses seat 21 and live seat 29. The pew busses, on order are of the same make and style as those at present in the fleet of Gray Coach Lines Limited. This policy of keeping to one type makes for low maintenance and operation costs, speedy repairs, and assures that all employees are familiar with the type of vehicle on which they are working, wheth- er as repair men, cleaners or drivers. The order placed last week, fol- lowing the purchase of the new routes, is for ten busses to seat 21 and five to seat 29 passengers, is also for June delivery and will amount to about $165,000 where- as the early 20 cost $200,000. While certain members of Coun- cil who opposed the purchase of routes may try to question the bus order just placed, Con. Sum- merville pointed out in the Board of Control on several occasions that equipment would have to be secured to give proper service on the lines, particularly the Oshawa line, which was secured without any equipment. SPEAKER URGES EVE HEALTH SURVEY OSHAWA SCHOOLS (Continued from Page 3) speaker outlined its origin shortly after the war, and the renewing ef- fort at the .Brantford Institute, the only state institute for the blind in Canada. It operated five broom shops two in Ontario, and in connection with each a willow shop where bask- ets and other articles were made. Teachers also went into homes of the blind and taught them useful arts and either the Braille or the Moon system of reading. Braille was the standard, but the Moon system was taught to elderly people. A library was established with 20,- 000 volumes and 15,000 musical works for the music students. In this con- nection, Mr. Gustard gave the in- teresting information that, since a book in Braille was much more bulky than a printed work, the Bible in Braille took 42 volumes and the third reader of public school days, GARAGES Special $85.00 FRAME OR METAL Erected in Oshawa.

Braille was a system of dots, taught to pupils up to about 35, while Moon was a system of em- bossed lettering much larger than the letters used in ordinary printing and was the system that had to be taught to the older pupils that had lost the keener sense of -touch, x Many Plicements Many blind men had been placed in factories, where in certain occu- pations they proved 80, or even 100 per cent as efficient as sighted men. They were also successful in conducting plant cofeterias and can- teens. In moving a vote of thanks to the speaker, Dr. T. W. G. McKay, me- dical officer of health for the city, stressed the importance of examina- tion of pre-school children for eye defects, and again urged the neces- sity of establishing a pre-school cli- nic in Oshawa for the health of the | 'children, "At least 25 to 35 per cent. ES -- TT of ocular defects could be ascertained by the age of three to four, and in these cases by the time the children reach the point in school where they are thoroughly examined and the de- !| fects found, nearly all of them as so '| far advanced that a cure is practi- cally impossible," the doctor declared, He spoke of the regulation of the Provincial Department of Health that all doctors must use a preventative | solution on the eyes of new-born ba- bies, which had prevented a great deal of the blindness formely prevalent.

Work of breaking up the con- crete debris underneath the bridge has already begun, There is a large quantity of asphalt with a concrete base laying down the bank on the east side. Whether the breaking up of this will bring io light the missing body or not is a matter for much speculation. Slowly the work is being rushed to completion and in the course of a few days it will be known whether the body still remains un- derneath the bridge or "not. Many Peterboro Visitors Many residents of Peterbura were visitors at the scene of the accident yesterday and a number o1 these spent considerable time walk- ing along the banks of the stream in the hope of finding traces of the missing body. Althougn e:rorts to find the body in the stream away from the bridge are considered fu- tile, there is generally always some- one patrolling these banks, so that if any evidence of the presence of the body did turn up, it would be seen in a short time. Report Not Confirmed It was stated this morning that a violin belonging to one of the occupants of. the car was found a considerable distance from the bridge, and farther down-stream than the position where the car was found. This report, however, was not authentic, and no one would say that they had. seen the grim relic. a Toronto Rose Society To. t Royal York Hotel in July | Toronto, April 15.--Toronto's Rose Society will have its annual meeting in July at the Royal York hotel, when one of the innovations which will particularly interest many women is a new prize.
