Again, in the year 1931, the commitments of the Road Fund amounted to £62,000,000, which had been Incurred without any vestige of parliamentary control or sanc- tion. Immediate effect should be given to the recommendation of the Committee on National Ex- penditure for the abolishment of the Road Fund and the submission of road grants to the control of ¡Parliament.

Local authorities in the United Kingdom last year raised £165,- 000,000 in rates, while their out- standing loan debt is now £1,300,- 000,000. In the years immediately preceding 1931 their loan debt

It is imperative that offer. tive Treasury control should be established over all schemos Initiated by the departments which involve expenditure or borrowing by local authorities. For rates fall as a burden upon the cost of production and constitute a grow- ing mentco to our competitivo power in world markets.
