canvass could only be undertaken if every contribu tor it given a complete accounting of all fundi raited and the method m which they wire ipent to produce the centre we now have preliminary discussions indicate such a itttement will be given every contributor those contributing by payroll deductions and bank deductions will be requested to con tinue their pledge for an addftionol two am opes letter ehaainlirer of national revenue hear sir for some years now like a host of other email businessmen weve been your unpaid collector of a thing called federal sales tax it has been c little inconvenient for us met it has made our bookkeeping invoicing no collection a little more complicated but jpeire tried to be pretty reasonable about we have to keep a complete set of in voice of every job weve printed for your special purposes and they do crowd us a bit but we havent kicked like every other businessman we re- gwrtably dont get paid for ail the work we do but we still have had to pay the federal seles tax ev though w not only g jtuck with the cost of the materials and labor but also the tax we haven t com- ptewtod loo bitterly except perhaps under our breath we haven t objected to the arrival of your auditor on the most inconvenient day tylthe week because we realized he had to tpafntam tome sort of schedule we only had a newspaper to produce and everyone ffjgtrda that at simple so we didnt register ny dismay getting fined because we were in a hurry one morth and neglected to file a return didnt upset us too much because we reelbe the government has to be pretty strict with the small businessman for hs tardiness we patd up and shut up without struggle it has always bothered us a little that your auditor appears only every two years but then canada is a pretty btg place and big government dealing in mjltons can hdlyb expected to drop m and tee us lust to pass the time of day whenever we trunk about it really about the only thing that got us months cash contributors in last years cam paign are asked to make an additional con tnbution while final accounting has not been com pleted because the deduction time has not finished indications are that there will be a deficit of approximately 2000 this is the amount of pledges which have not been honored as yet if the campaign for the additional funds is successful and there is no reason to sus pect it wont be the deficit will be covered and funds would be available for painting parking floor and the multitude of smaller obs required to give us a final and complete community centre let s finish the ob upset was a recent tetter from your customs and excise department it told us that back in 1959 a customer ordered work from us and certified it as tax exempt we trust our customers and delivered the ob without collecting your percentage now you tell us we have to get after that customer colled your share and pay a pen alty ourselves for not having collected in fhe first place and when we phoned to complain about this situation we were told there was no such thing as appeal we should write to you personally we also suggested to your representative the problem was between him
