Une of the items which has a sugges- tive aspect in comparison with earlier financing is $764,000 interest and sinking tund charges on' recent borrow: ings. It is a recently-developed item, and seetns likely to increase. The Hy- dro-Electric expenditures was $135, 697, and the advance to the T. & N. 0. railway was $1,412,324, The sale of assets through the lauds, forests, and mines department is tredted as revenue collected. The next important item in the receipts is $2,261,708 levied by the Dominion and paid as a Pro- vineial subsidy. The loan floated in London, after deducting $75,000 for expenses, amounted to $2,387,505. These two items, together with a mil- lion and a half worth of assets sold and half a million from various de- bentures, makes a total of about six and one-half millions out of a gross revenue of $12,229 600, The liabilities of the province now make the substantial total of £24,765, 922, Of this sum about $16,114,000 represents outlays for T. & N. 0. rail- way construction. This is an outlay promising good returns if no improvi- dent bargain is made in regihrd to run- ning rights. The total charges to the railway are $17,585,662. The indirect liabilities of the province now amount to $9,390,000, the chief item being the 87,560,000 guaranteed to the Canadian Northern Ontario railway. The items of actual revenue show that game li- cenkes vielded £38433, and the fisher- ies $130,267. The suoccession duties vielded over a million, and the receipts from licenses were $656,363. Under the supplementary revenue act insurance companies were taxed $182 vl, loan compaiiies $23,695, banks £73,748, trust companies 39.325, street railways $14,- 074, other railways £453,345, gas and clectric light companies £12,339, tele- phone companies $11,372, and express companies $41,000. Most of these are indirect taxation on the people of the province, and as such might at time be questioned. They tendency to prepare for the time when growing expenditure will no longer be sustained by the sale of provincial as- sets. The province is large and should be expanding rapidly. If value is ob- tained for the growing expenditure it will be shown by results. This is of vastly more importance than the counting of a surplus or deficit from year to year. The financial condition of the Province is eminently sound, and the heritage of natural wealth is vast that no imaginable misman- agement could make it otherwise. The any suggest a real revenue collected from the people is small in comparison with the public services mate available by the fortu- possession of inherited wealth. he prospect of a rapidly-inereasing expenditure should impress the wisdom of providing for a continuous return Con- suming capital without thought of the will bring increasing demands when the ability to meet 'them will not proportionately develop.
