Foolish Spending —Continued from Page 1 same and collection of garbage is easier, the army spends $18,600 for the same service. Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, a government-owned company which was responsible for housing in Canada, recently purchased 281 acres of land for a building at a cost of $8,800 an acre. “That’s a lot of money for land,” Mr. Cardiff said. The corporation spent over two mil lion dollars before they finished the building. They built an auditorium for $40,000, constructed a dance floor for $7,500 and then added springs in the floor for another $2,500. George Drew, Cardiff said, promised $500,000,000 could be saved in taxes a year. That wouldn’t be hard to do because it represents only 14 percent of the taxes now raised. More Taxes Last year the Liberals reduced income taxes but hidden taxes were increased. “You are paying more moneyin taxes than ever,” Mr. Cardiff 4old the audience. Prime Minister Louis St. Lau rent charged in Sudbury recehtly that the value of Canadian bonds might be reduced under a Con servative government. These bonds have already depreciated considerably under the Liberal government, Mr. Cardiff said. Mr, Cardiff said Canadians who purchased them in 1947 have suf fered a loss of $33 on every $125. Mr, Cardiff charged the gov ernment changed his constituency to get rid of him. “That's not the government’s job, that's the task of the people,” ho said. “If they want to get rid of me they can vote mo out.” WEDNESDAY & THURSDAY August 5 and 6 Don’t Bother To Knock ★ Richard Widmark ★ Marilyn Monroe (Adult Entertainment) A tense drama that holds your interest all through . . .
