the georgetown herald seventysecond year of publication wednesday evening may 3rd 1939 1 50 per annum in advance 200 to ua little relief in budget tor canadian tax payers attempt to instill new life into industry 1939 deficit es timated at 60 millions by spectator ottawa may 2nd as was expected the budget brought down in the house of commons by mr dunning mini ster of finance did not offer much relief for the taxpayers of canada taxes remain for tile next year pretty much as they have been in the past fiscal year the main reasons for this were explained in the speechjij the troubled international situation with all its potentialities for a pas slble world catastrophe has retarded the wheels of industry in canada as elsewhere has hindered the normal growth of international trade and has forced canada to spend more money on national defence there has of course been the relief in indirect taxation through lower tariff rates on goods imported from the united states the treaty providing for bers of n royal canadian air force these decreases in import duties ha been in force since the beginning of tins calendar year the budget fur ther puts into effect the promised cancellation of three per cent excise dull on goods from the united states actually the budget arranges for the cancellation of the three per cent on all goods entering canada under the intermediate tariff as well as the im perial preferences will not hae to pay this excise tax this means as point ed out bymr dunning a decrease in revenues of about 14 million dollars for the year quite a substantial amount not many tariff changes changes are made in import duties on 77 comomdities in the budget nearly all the revisions are down ward as stated b the minister tariff changes now announced are ne ther numerous nor of striking 1m glen williams united church annual meeting of celebrated 99th anniversary childrens aid society juht a jtar shoit of complot ng a tin annual meeting
