VICTORIA,
March
12:
(CP)
Hon.
John
Hart,
ruin-isicr
of
finance,
declared
a
policy
of
"endeavor
to
prevent
default
In
payment
of
interest"
in
his
budget
speech
today.
He
asked
for
power
to
refund
at
lower
rates
of
in
teres
t
practically
the
entire
debt
of
the
province.
Proposed
refunding
of
$121,120,000
is
based
upon
the
assumption
that
the
money
markets
will
offer
favorable
opportunities
to
carry
it
out.
It
is
proposed
that
the
refunding
lc
at
rates
of
three
or
three
and
one-half
percent
for
a
term
of
thirty
years
and
that
sufficient
sinking
funds
be
set
up
after
a
period
of
five
years
to
liquidate
the
debt
at
maturity.
Mr.
Hart
estimates
that
such
refunding
will
save
the
taxpayers
some
six
million
dollars
annually
for
the
first
five
years
and
some
three
million
dollars
annually
for
succeeding
years.
The
scheme
would
not
be
carried
out
in
one
large
transaction
but
from
time
to
time
as
favorable
opportunity
offered.
The
minister
of
finance
said
that
the
Dominion
government
had
been
requested
to
guarantee
ihc
conveision
loan
but
had
declined.
A
deficit
of
$2,066,810
on
current
account
is
butlgctted
for
in
addition
to
which
there
will
be
an
estimated
deficit
of
some
three
million
dollars
on
relief
prcount.
NO
NEW
TAXATION
There
is
no
new
taxation.
The
meal
tax
is
abolished.
The
one

wages
will

The

AID
TO
MUNICIPALITIES
While
grants
to
municipalities
will
not
be
increased,
tlielrovcmment
has
made
arrangements
to
loan
to
municipalities
their
share
of
unemployment
relief
during
the
present

The
budget
shows
a
reduction
in
expenditure
of
more
l"n
$1,000,000
with
revenue
decreased
by
about
the
same
amount.
A
reduction
of
nearly
$2,500,000
is
shown
under
capital
expenditure
due
to
the
fact
that
no

is
made
