watershed.
The original project was to include
both hydro-electric power develop-
ments and a deep-water seaway from
the Great Lakes to the Atlantic, along
the St. Lawfatnee river. Canada is
ready and willing to go ahead with this
great undertaking, but the United Sta-
tes is still undecided. In the mean-
time ever increasing power needs in
Ontario and New 'York State hava
made the early completion of at least
the hydro-electric developments a vital
necessity.
The present hydro power shortages
in Ontario is additional proof that the
early development of the St. Iaivrence
river project is badly needed and pow-
er authority spokesmen in New York
State say that "the state can no longer
get along without additional power".
Robert H, Saunders, chairman of the
Hydro-Electric Commission said the
need for the proposed development is
obvious, and Franklin J. Leeberger, an
engineering consultant to the New
York State Power Authority, said the
state's need for electrical energy is so
"colossal" it can absorb the yield from
the proposed development "without a

New York State will also need ap-
proval by the international joint !cola-
mission to develop the tremendous
hydro-eleetrie power resources of the
St. Lawrence River.
Titer site of the proposed dam and
power houses is in the international
Rapids section between Massena and
Ogdensburg, N.Y. Cost of the pro-
ject is estimated at $643 million, It
would develop 72,600,000,000 kilowatt
hours of energy a year. Mr,,,Saunders
said his organization has full, authority
to raise the necessary money, which is
more than $200 million, to pay Ontar-
io's share of the cost. Mr. Leeberger
says "the way demand is growing, and
will continue to grow, is fantastic," and
New York Sate is anxious to go ahead
with the project. Surely the time has
come to develop these tremendous re-
sources.

INCOME TAX STATISTICS
PROVE CANADIAN
PROSPERITY
The taxation division of the revenge
department recently published its third
annual edition of its "green book," of-
ficially known as "Taxation -Statistics"
Perusal of the mass of interesting fig-
ures on its pageS, reveals quite clearly
the fact that Canada is enjoying a per-
iod of great prosperity. Corporation
income tax returns were made by
35,406 firms in 1946, including 2,001
exempt from tax. Of the total 23,563
declared a total profit of $1,392,000,000
and 9,742 declared a loss of $59,422,-
000. The profit makers were up from
21,331 who made $1,198,000,000 in'
1945. Those who took a loss compar-
ed to the 29,932 who lost $1,160,00,000
in 1945.
It shows that 2,353,122 Canadians
paid tax in 1946 on a total gross in-
come of $4,810,000,000. Of the total
individual income tax of $647,000,00
that came out of the gross of $1,317,-
1706,000, fifty-one per cent came from
!people making less than $3,500 a year.
!Fifty-two per cent of all income tax
;payers made less than $2,200 a year.
Married men, with an average income
of $2,514, and an average tax of -$336,
paid 68 per cent of the individual tax-
' es.
Farmers average earnings were
,$2,118, authors and writers $3,122,
!salesmen $3,467,dentists $5,289, en-'
gineers and architects $5,984, lawyers
$6,528 and doctors $7,466. The Prince
Edward Island town of Sumnierside,!
I
with $2,292,had the highest average in-
come reported in tax returns from 51
selected municipalities-
After Summerside came Lethbridge,
Alta., with an average income of $2,200
for its 5,332 taxpayers; Edmunston,
N. 11„ with $2,197 for 2,200; Toronto
with $2,187 for 353,810, and Montreal
with $2,185 for 338,299. In the 1946-
47 fiscal year, 21 Canadian left estates
at more than $1,000,000, all of them
east of Manitoba, with 11 being in On-
tario, eight in Quebec and twit in the
,Maritimes.
