That promise has now been When the Ontario delegation went to the interâ€"provincial conference at Ottawa, Hon. David Croll, _ welfare minister, presented the case for Onâ€" tario as far as relief was concerned. He came prepared with figures and statistics covering every phase of the situation, and ho showed in a clearâ€" cut manner the necessity of the Doâ€" minion government contributing _ a larger amount towards the cost of relief. Mr. Croll convinced the Doâ€" minion cabinet that the requests were not unwarranted. _ The figures spoke for themselves. So muth was being spent, so much was coming inio the treasury, and the two were not balancing very well. The whole matter was threshed out thoroughly The establishment of a provincial income tax by which it is hoped to raise $15,000,000 in additional revenâ€" ue also enters into the relief picture. In place of their taxing privileges, the municipalities will be given cerâ€" tain concessions in connection with relief matters. Just what this will mean to _ the hardâ€"pressed municipalities is not difâ€" ficult to figure cut. The Ontario govâ€" ernment has maintained . continuousâ€" ly that municipal bodies could not continue much longer to bear relief costs in their present proportion and that the burden would have to _ be eased . Now that the King governâ€" ment has signified its intention _ of shouldering a greater amount of the relief burden, the Hepburn adminis tration will at once take such steps as well lighten the _ responsibilitiies of the municipalities. Che Burkum Arview butions has at last been made and Ontario geis a satisfactory .slice of money from the Federal coffers. Starting immediately this province is to receive _ $1,050,000 per month. Almost «@ouwble its previous allowance fiom the Dominion treasury. Other provinces are also given substantial increases amounting to 75 per cent.

THE DURHAM REVIEW Effective coâ€"ordination of effort is necessary, with active coâ€"operation of citizens. Then we must have proper accomâ€" odation at reasonable prices.

Greyâ€"Bruce should receive from 7 to 10 millicn dollars a year _ from this business. How can it be obtained First by advertising. The Domâ€" inion as a whole got almost twice as many _ people in 1935 as in 1934. This was largely due to greatly inâ€" creased advertising. The raw materials of this business our scenery, climate, natural faciliâ€" ties for sports are remarkable. They cost us little or nothing. They are a part of our vast â€" wealth of natural resources . Canada‘s Tcourist Business for the same 5 years totalled $1,168,965,000. Tourist Business benefits everyone, just as wheat exports co.
