Walter Mitchell! | there is only one change in regard to the amusement tax. At present there) is a charge of $20 a day on ne coors | ary places of amusement; no matter what the capacity of the, place may | ll be. It is now proposed to change this to a charge of one cent per seat per day, which Mr. Mitchell believes will mean a reduction. Owing to the facet that the province is renouncing its share of the amusement tax ou tickets to the municipalities, a modi- fication of the provisions of the law is contained in the bill, but except for the change in temporary places of amusement there i8 no 'Change iu tarifis.
