Hon. Paul Leduc Urges Fairer Mine Tax Split "The municipalitiese and the prov» ince are not getting their fair share of the mines tax," declared Hon. Paul Leâ€" duc, Ontario minister of mines, in his address on Friday night at a banquet at the Empire hotel, tendered by the Board of Trade to the visiting memâ€" bers of the Ontarioâ€"Quebec Weekly Newspapers Association. Mining Municipalities Unable to Build Schools and Other Public Services With Share of Seven Per Cent., Ontario Mines Minister Tells Visiting Publishers at Banquet Here Last Friday Night. "Under the present conditions, the Dominion Government get too mucn, the tax being divided into the followâ€" ing proportions: Federal 72 per cent., Provincial 21 per cent., and municipal 7 per cent. This is an unequal and unfair distribution and I hopses that the Dominion Government will see fit to give a greater share of the tax to the mining municipalities, where tac problem of finding enough money for the building of schools, sewers, and other necessitiee is most important. The province should also share to a greater extent to assist in the paying or roads into the new mining areas that are opening up," declared Mr. Leduc. Yol. XXIlL. No. 45 In telling the publishers that the mines are paying all the tax they can bear, be announced that the annuai levy on the mining properties in Onâ€" tario is $13,600,000, which has been stabilized at this figure by agreement, lasting until 1940. This permanent arrangement of mining taxes has been a blg’ feature in the development of the industry in Ontario, Mr. Leduc pointed out. His Worship Mayor J. P. Bartleman extended a warm civic welcome to Mr. Leduc and the visitinz publishers and echoed the remarks of the mines minâ€" ister made earlier in the day that there should be no dividing line between Northern and Southern Ontario.
