180 CANADIAN PUBLIC ADMINISTRATION

Compte tenu des sources de revenu actuellement disponibles, est-ce que les provinces A revenu 61evk dkveloppent invariablement des systkmes de finance locale qui, proportionnellement comportent de plus grandes sommes que celles des provinces Q bas revenu? Les preuves sont ici Q cet effet: mais dans trois des quatre provinces dont il n'est pas question dans cet article, on remarque me tendance contraire.

Lorsqu'on tient compte des variations d'organisation locale et de fonction- iement fiscal, il demeure Bvident que les finances provincales et municipales dans les provinces atlantiques sont relativement limitkes B cause d'un faible fond de ressource fiscale. Une analyse des composantes de revenu personnel rbvble que les variations parmi les provinces et les rkgions sont dues surtout aux mkrences dans le revenu gagnh et que ces diffhrences ne sont pas tellement attknu6es par la variation gkographique dans les niveaux de paiements de transferts fkdkraux. Les programmes fkdBraux dans ces rCgions ne favorisent pas outre mesure la rkgion de I'Atlantique; malgrk certaines mesures fiscales, le produit des revenus provinciaux e t municipaux dans les 4 provinces demeurent beaucoup en bas de la moyenne.

PREVIEWING THE CONFERENCE Toronto, Ontario, October 21st to 24th, 1959

Reports from the Program Committee indicate that this year’s Con- ference will meet the high standards set in previous years. Under the chairmanship of H. H. Vl‘alker, preparations are being completed for a program that will include some of the most important issues now facing public officials and will present some of Canada’s leading authorities to discuss them. Both subjects and speakers have been selected to represent the far-ranging interests of all members of the Institute. According to custom, the program allows ample time for informal discussion and association amongst those attending the conference.

Members and friends of the Institute will shortly receive the printed programs. Among the general subjects of the sessions of the conference will be the operation of the St. Lawrence Seaway, farm marketing and price support programs, civil service administration, financial and organi- zational problems in education, provincial-municipal fiscal relations, management of energy resources, and public credit policies.
