Mar. 2/ & 9 ' *"*Money" Measures May Raise Considerable f Argument Present indications are that the Ontario Legislature will wind up its 1932 sessional business in the early ; hours of Thursday morning next, and will be prorogued in the afternoon with all due pomp and formality by Sir William Mulock, Administrator for the Province. Only a few supplementary esti-- mates, the main estimates and the Government's "money" legislation re-' main to be disposed of in the House proper. In committee activities the Private Bills and Fish and Game Com-- mittees are practically through. Pub-- lic Accounts will likely complete its inquiries Tuesday morning, and Agri-- culture's final meetine will be on Wed-- nesday. There should be no undue * hold--up in this work. *"*Money" legislation, to which the House will give consideration in the next three days, includes Provincial 'Treasure©: Dunlop's corporation © tax emendments; a bill to cut the ses-- sional indemnities of the members either $200 or $100; Hon. Leopold Macaulay's bill tacking another cent on the per gallon gasoline tax; and a measure providing for whatever legis-- lative changes may be required to get more revenue for the Treasury out of the Provincial amusements tax. There 'is likely to be considerable f argument over these bills, as well as on the Hon. Charles McCrea's amend-- ments to the Game and Fisheries Act, establishing, among other things, a Provincial--wide ban on the use of dogs in the hunting of deer. Tory members are said to have vigorously opposed such a ban in caucus last week, but last--minute reports are to the effect that the Government will shove it through.
