PAGE TEN THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1931 REVUES FROW FRESTS LOWER * File to Collect Levies From Lumber Companies Toronto, April 1.----Inability of Jf numbering interests to meet their payment obligations to the Crown J resulted in a heavy drop in reven- J 7 pe to the Lands and Forests De- ent of the Provincial Govern- J ent during 1930, according to the -amnual tement for that year, ¢ tabled in the Legisla- ture. : While bush operations through- _the year comprised accruals to extent of over $6,000,000, as nst approximately $4,250,000 ¥o 'the previous year, the actual " wollections of entire revenue >t tlie "department amounted to only $3, + | 307,945, as against $5,059,878 for 'the fiscal year ending Oct. 31, 1ode. #'Special concession privileges on the basis of instalment payments _ with interest abatements were ex- tended to operators and this urged some to effect initial instalments which otherwise might not have been paid within the year," the re- port states. 'Of the total amount, collected, $2,024,248 is divoctly at- tributed to timber, administration, and. the balance to the sale, and lease of lands, water powers, ren- tals, land tax and incident items.' The number of settlers locating | and purchasing land under the free nt section of the act during 1930 was 460, a slight increase 'over 1920, Crown Land Purchases . A noticeable increase in the number of persons buying Crown land for settlement purposes .c- curred during the year, it was stated. "The largest increase is t> Ye found in Cochrane, gays the report. "In that portion of the great clay belt traversed by the Transconti- nental Railway, over 1,000 acquir- ed lots as against slightly over 400 in 1929. For settlement, tourist, townsite and other various pur- poses, the total area sold and leas- od, netted $145,110, for which part payment to the extent of $89,579 was received. In addition the sum of $474,672 was collected on for- mer sales and leases, the aggre- gate exceeding the receipts of the year 1929 by over $76,000." Revenue derived from provincial land tax was $139,832, over $12,- 000 in excess of the year previous. Total expenditure for survey work during 1930 was $144,059, being an increase of $22,100 over the former year's expeaditure. Wa- ter power rentals reveuue was $249,628, an increase of $44,666 over 1929, While there was a general re- duction in logging aperalions, the report points to the surprising fact that the cut of pulpwood fiom Crown areas reached the large to- tal of 1,061,631 cords, vr two end a quarter times the output in 1929. Expenditures for the year am- ounted to $3,834,684, of which $2,408,332 comprised ordinary and $1,426,361 capital, Fire rang- ing cost $2,215,838 and of this 78 per cent. wag ordinary and 22 per cent capital, Forest fires account ed for the increase by over #500, 000 of the cost of fire fighting.

The measure, which is regarded by Conservatives as drastically sc- clalistic, provides for setting up a council which would investigate all questions relating to produc- tion, distribution, supply or price commodities which seem to re- quire study. The bill also enables the Board of Trade to regulate, by order, prices to be charged the public for certain articles of food and other commodities in which the Govern- ment considers there is too great a discrepancy between the whole sale and retail prices, especially since the recent market fall in the former.

The smart organizers of the Montevideo Chamber of Commerce knew this apparently, for they went to a great deal of trouble to pro- cure the music. a gesture entitling them to the party's gratitude, But their hosts did more, for in a few hours they succeeded in con- vincing the Canadians that, not on- ly was Montevideo one of the nicest cities in the world. but Uruguay as a whole was one of Canada's best friends. After meeting the new president of the republic, Dr. Ga- hriel Torra, a man of great distine- tion and culture, and talking with the Monievideons who accompanied them during an extensive tour of the city of 20 beaches and ultra modern architecture, the represen- tatives of Canada were surprised to (igcover so many Urhguayans fully conversant with all the Canadian questions. Politie, finance, trade, social life--nothing apparently has escaped them. They talked of Can- ada as if they had heen living there for many years, although most of them never set foot on Canddian soil. This tact, besides making the vis- it a most pleasant one, would seem to indicate the poscitility of easy trade rélations. Unfortunately there are still a few olstacles to be removed before {ull advantage Is taken of a very. propitious situa- tion, Uruguay 1s rich. This country, although much gmaller, possesses more sheep and cattle than Canada. Its magnificent Parliament is built with 67 different kinds of native marble and one has everywhere the impression of wealth, But this land, for 26 years free of revolu- tion, did not escape the world fin- {ancial depression, The story of {Canadian wheat has been repeated for the Uruzuayan wool. Uruguay. an money hak suffered a deprecia- tion of about 30 per cent. and al- though a recent amelioration of 12 per cent, in the money situation has been registered, business is still 1ag- ging behind its previous figures On the other hand, although the present situation does not appear to be very favorable to inereased trade relations there are possibill- tfes for the future if proper steps are taken. These have been sum- marized for The Canadian Frers by Leon Peyrou, President of he Mon. tevideo Charaber of Commerce, in the course of a brief interview, "What Canada must do to get a larger share of the Uruguayan business now going to North Ameri- ca," says Mr. Peyron, "is, first, to establish more direct communica- tions between our two countries, and 'intensify its steamships ser- vice; secondly to appoint good re- presentatives here who will soon discover the ways and means of get- ting into the Uruguayan markets and, thirdly, to advertise herself better. At present several Cana- dian products are sold here without any indication of thelr origin, This should be corrected. We Urnguay- ans would like to deal with Canada direct."
