Hon. John Hart, Minister of Finance, asks Right Hon. W. S. Fielding to remove Dominion priority of income tax arrears over mortgages on real and personal property. He warns mortgagees risk losing security if the mortgagor is delinquent on federal taxes.
Mr Hart urges the Dominion to use the coming Ottawa session to repeal last year's War Income Tax Act amendment. He says the government should protect capital investments in the province and prevent mortgagees with charges from being displaced by a prior income tax lien.
The provincial government launches a campaign to attract settlers to agricultural lands along the Pacific Great Eastern Railway. Minister J. D. MacLean says higher traffic and production will make the railway pay. Collaboration between Railways, Land Settlement, Education and the Agent General in London will provide information and support. Dutch emigration groups offer to purchase 200000 acres in the Stuart Lake country under similar terms.
The Minister of Lands classified the area for settlement and offered it to the British Government to sell at the classified price with proceeds funding roads and development. Sir John Pitka visited Stuart Lake last summer on behalf of Estonian interests and plans to travel to Vandervoort with Estonian farmers to become settlers in British Columbia.
