THURSDAY, APRIL 6TH, 1939 Bowmanville Passed Up Again Poor old Bownianvillc is agaîn listed among- the missing- when the patronage phuns are handed ont. This timie it is the supplementary estimates for the Depart- ment of Public Works which were tabled in parlianient on Fridav. Think of it, over two and a liaif million dollars for harbors in Ontario and îîot a penny do wc sec to dredtge. repair or otherwise improve or heautifY Bow-manville harbor, whiehi at one tiîne mas considered the bcst naturally pro- tected harbor along- the north shore of Lake Ontario. It's a bit embarrassing, as wve1l as annoy- ing for Bowmanville folks to see other nearlir towns gcetting these generous band- outs: Cobourg- drcdging, $18.400; Port Hope - harbor repairs, $36,000; Oshawa - harbor improvements. $88.000; Whitbv -- harbor improvements $17,400; Port Perry- improvements. $15,000. Oh, wcll. maybe the government and our town council are quite willing to just think of Bowmanville bar- bor as a pleasatît memorN and a thing of the past. To niany of uin~ our youth it ivas a busy place with Iligh grain elevators. hinge coal sheds, three or four-masted schooniers bring- ing <on I from Oswego. and takzing baek grain to the US. Then there were pass- eng-er and freighit steamers which plied be- twen Hamilton and Kingston three times a week. Excursion boats such as the "Gar- den City-' and "Argyle" made trips to Nia-ara Falls, Toronto and Port Dalhousie. Vien the 01(1 lighthouse at the end of the wharf w-as a popular rendezvous mnoonlight nighits for loyers to spoon in a sccluded hencli (if thev wcrc not aIl occupicd). Do you renîcmber the initiais and other fancy carviugs ahl over the lighthouse?

Hon. J. L. Ilsley. Minister of National Revenue. in addrcssing the bouse of G'ommons ]ast week said threc huiudred and eighty-two individuals w-hose taxable incomes excced $50,000 aîîuually pay 34 per cent. of the total Federal income tax collccted. These 382 taxpayers represent jnst .16 per cent. of the 2-37,064 persons w'ho paid income tax in the 1937-38 fiscal N'car. Coînbincd individual and corporation in- corne tax colleeted iin thc period wvas $141,- 000,0wX, w'hieh w-as $20,000,000 better than the corrcsponding prcvious twelve months. Figures which werc gîven by the Minister of National Revenue, providc ample proof that it is the taxes paid by Ontario and Qncbec vhieh make thc Federal machincni- move ini the other seven provinces. British Columbia is in third place as the largest revenue producer. Little Prince Edward Island pays more than Saskatchewan. Ontario leads the w'ay with $68,170,000; Quebec, $34,111,000: P.E.I.. $970.000; Nova Scotia, $1,614,000; New Brunswick, $1.100,- 000; Manitoba, $3,008,000; Saskatchewan, $537,000; Alberta, $1,922,000, British Col- tumbia. $8,819.000. aud the Yukon, $26,000.
