Miss Gaultier was appropriately costumed in Acadian Seventeenth Century peasant garb, entirely handmade In the fashion of the country.

The present "inefficient and wasteful'- tax structure, the commission reported, "sabotages" efforts to increase the national Income and even depresses that Income. While the proposed plan would not involve reduction of the abso!ut t. x level. th eom-p v ..id it w uld permit substantial Increase in the national income, which would make .the present tax load relatively lighter. The commission suggetcd that, the added revenue required by the Dominion to carry this fiscal plan might be obtained by broadening the income tax base by substantially increasing the load In the lower and middle brackets, and increasing succession duties. It recommended the progressive elimination of the sales tax Municipalities benefit directly by being relieved of the relatively heavy relief burden, amounting to about 20.000 .000 a year. 80 percent of which comes from real estate taxation The commlaskm also recommended that the provinces exercise greater control over municipal borrowing and budget ln.
