ment is contemplating the tapping of another hitherto untouched source of revenue this new proposed tax is a summer resort tax to be placed on summer residence proper ties in unorganized districts in

man woman and child in the dom inion last year would have paid 572 to support civil servants and their families the same return placed the number of federal civil servants af 39204 in other words one out of every 224 inhabitants gets his or her salary from the treasury vaults at ottawa the average sal ary figures out at 1284 or a little better than 50c per hour it must be understood that these totals do not take into consideration provin cial civil servants and municipal em ployees all of whom depend on taxa tion for their living neither are government railway employees in cluded the ice
