Ontario's Financial Report (Contributed) Toronto, May 7th, 1937 (Special)-- The balance sheet or a business in which every person in Ontario is interested., noteworthy for a substantial surplus and an equally substantial debt reduction, is brought to the attention of the Province to-day with the publication of the Government's financial statement for the fiscal year just closed. Subject to widespread favorable comment when Hon. Mitchell F. Hepburn, Prime Minister and Provincial Treasurer, presented his budget in the Legislature, Ontario's showing of an estimated surplus of $7,000,000 after paying a relief bill of $12,500,000 was considered remarkable inasmuch as it represented the first balanced: budget in Canada since the depression. The complete picture, as revealed in the figures of the published statement shows the actual surplus to be much larger than Mr. Hepburn indicated, namely $9,313,938; and this after taking care of a relief bill, not of $12,500,000 only, but ot $13,270,000. Action of the Treasury Department in publishing the statement press is a departure in Government procedure and one which is designed to give promptly all the facts of the Pay-As-You-Go policy to the persons most interested--the taxpayers. Unprecedented Surplus Examination of the statement now confirms the fact that the surplus is twelve times the surplus budgeted tor a year ago and achieved while other provinces were striving to borrow to meet current expeditures. This is the largest surplus realized by any Canadian province since Confederation. It has also been noted that, in addition to realizing an unprecedented surplus, the funded debt of the Province has been reduced by $26,000,000 and the gross debt $33,000,000--or three times the ount promised in the last budget dress. It is the first reduction in gross debt of the Province of Ontario that has been made in the present century. Discussng the decrease in funded debt, experts agree that it has been accompanied by a change in carrying charges even more revolutionary than the turning over from a 1936 deficit of $13,000,000 'o a surplus. It is pointed out that in the fiscal y ending in 1934. 42.62 cents out every dollar of revenue was required to meet the interest account. Now, less than 26 cents out of the revenue dollar is necessary for this purpose, which means that instead of 57 cents remaining for the benfit of the people, there is available a sum of 74 Attention is directed to the fact that the Treasury Bill debt has been lowered by $12,000,000 and that the average rate of interest is half that standing on the books in July, 1934. Another fact which is stressed is that 15-year money was obtained at home at . the most favourable rate received by any province in a quarter of a century. Bondis with an average maturity of 16V, years, it is pointed, out. were sold at a cost of about' 3%'%. the two issues reflecting the high credit enjoyed by the Province. Social Legislation Acclaimed Many of the budget announcements have been enthus.*stically acclaimed throughout the Province by reason of the widespread benefits they represent. The highest commendation has teen forthcoming from municipal councils as a result of the granting ot a provincial subsidy to municipalities equal to one mill on the tax rate. At the same time, these councils have been enabled to reduce taxation as a result of the Province having reliev-them from contributing to the cost of old age pensions and mothers" allowances. The government's sympathetic attitude, so far as social legislation is concerned, is also reflected in the Premier's statement endorsing the Dominion Government's decision to grant pensions to the blind age of 40. Farmers Will Benefit It is pointed out also that, dition to abolishing the amusement tax, representing a sacrifice enue of $1,900,000 a year, there have been other drastic cuts in taxation which have been greeted with thusiasm on every hand. In the of license for farmers' trucks and commercial vehicles, there wa duction in cost of 25%, which a saving of over $1,000,000 a ; some 80,000 oi these commercial operators, and a corresponding loss in revenue to the government. At the same time, there has considerable rejoicing over the tional relief to rural municipalites in the reduction from 5 to 4% in the interest rate charged under the Municipal Drainage Act and the Tile Drainage Act, and the lowering of service charges for Hydro to farm-Political observers recall that even during its period of careful retrenchment, the government did much to case conditions, one of the first steps having been to abolish the tax on ;chool children's examination papers. Sound Public Finance During the coming year, it was intimated, there will be capital expenditures of $31,935,000 to provide employment, $14,587,000 going into high-extensions and $2,65,0,000 for public buildings. At the same. time, the government is: budgeting for a surplus of $2,282,000 after allowing $11,000,000 for relief. A year ago, it is recalled, Mr. Hepburn made the following statement: 'With the saving of interest and a consequent reduction in the cost or government, we shall be able to carry the blessings of good government into the homes of the humblest man and woman in this province." And in de-ivering his; budget address in March, .ie remarked: "We turn our faces not toward the shadows, but toward the and view in that direction a brighter and happier day for this great land."
