The first of the three provides, among other things, that incorpor-- ated companies must pay their cor-- poration tax within six months of the date of the close of their fiscal year periods. The Succession Duty Act amend-- ment is designed to prevent the cutting down of the value of an estate by the creation of unwar-- ranted liabilities for wages to a member of the family. In explaining the purpose of the amendment to the Employment Agencies Act, Hon. David Croll, Minister of Labor, said that it gave the Government power to regulate private employment agencies who # profess to deal with executive help and charge for servces which might, or might not be given. | Investigations Made. "We have investigated several of these bureaux," said Mr. Croll. *"There was one that had 122 regis-- trations at $50 apiece. Of this number they obtained twelve or thirteen jobs. It is time the Gov-- ernment stepped in and regulated this business and let the individuals who run them know that we are prepared to step in and stop their operations unless they conform to sound business practice." *
