For Relief for . - . ® . a This Province With a revenue of 31 million dollars for 1937-38 British Columbia's minist- er of finance gave a ‘brief report of the financial position of the province to the legislature. With this all time high revenue the minister reported a surplus of. something over 3 million, but he did not include relief payments which amounts to 5 million by the pro- vince and 3 million by the Dominion. ora, total of 8 million dollars for re- lief alone in British Columbia for-one yenr. That is something for the tax payers of the province to think over during the winter evenings. Whether the Dominion takes over rellef pay- ments or not, the fact remains that the wealthiest province in the Domin- ion with a population of only one fair sized city, is paying out relief at the rate of eight million dollars a year, {und at’a time when business and em- ployment have greatly improved. One might well ask that old, old question: “Where does the money go?”, Vancou- yer no doubt can sive the big answer. Caring for Natives Cant.
