September 1935
Compounded of realisation of the exiling depressed trading conditions and a rantions outlook for the future, the Budget speech of the Hon Mr N. L. Smith, Acting Colonial Secretary, de- livered at yesterday's meeting
of
the Legislative Council, foretold a probable temporary levy on Government salaries next year, with the unhappy prospect of increased taxativa for the general public.
Although the 1985 scale of faxes was unaltered, save for a reduction in the hardship of
excess water charges, with
consequent loss of half a
million dollars to revenue, it was well, he said, that a noto of warning should be given now, that increased taxation and a temporary levy on all Government nalaries might be necessary if the state of the public finances in 1930 shund seriously deteriorate.
