Canadian municipal financing for April, in the amount of $1?007,706,200, ;takes into consideration the reported total subscriptions of
$997,503,300 to1 the Dominion Government's second Victory Loan.
The original goal/ of $600,000,000 was quickly achieved and tHe
amount sought was then increased to $900,000,000.
The month of
April witnessed the sale of $10,000,000 Province of Ontario guaran¬
teed Hydro-electric Power Commission bonds to a syndicate headdd
by the Bank of Montreal, of Montreal.
Aside from this operation
there was relatively no activity in the new issue field.
/
In connection with the subj*ect of Canadian municipal borrow¬
ings, the quarterly review of the Dominion Securities Corporation
points Out that expanding revenues and a trend toward declining
debts have characterized the financial economy of the various Prov¬
inces since outbreak of the war.
It also contains a study of the
effect of the agreement under which the Provinces withdrew from
the income and corporation tax fields in favor of the Dominidn
Government's guaranteed revenue proposal.

subsidiary-in 1940, and of the

payment during 1940 and 1941 of bonds called for redemption in
1940, the taxable income in both years was reduced by extraordinary;
deductions, with consequent decreases in Federal taxes of $983,807
in 1940 and of $723,981 in 1941
(including $152,087 of excess .profits
taxes).
In its accounts for 1940, the subsidiary debited surplus with

deductions and credited surplus with the related
decrease in taxes.
After the accounts -for 1940 had been closed, - the
Federal Power Commission advised the subsidiary that the-decrease
in
taxes and
a
minor part of the extraordinary deductions-should
have been
included in its statement of income and that the net
•income should
have been increased by a net; amount■ of $759,120.
In
its accounts for 1941, in order to conform to the Commission's
instructions, the subsidiary credited expenses with the decrease in
taxes of
that year, so that the balance earned for common stock
for
1941 shown above is
greater than it would have been if the
-decrease in taxes had been credited to -surplus,

Taxation and other uncertainties are delaying intro¬

interest rates averaging around 4%, with some of the notes bearing a
rate of 314 %.

Practically our entire personnel now are wholly on war work.
While the corporation
is arranging to avail itself to the fullest
extent of the cash advances from the Government, nevertheless the
.volume of war work we are undertaking is so enormous in comparison
with our peacetime business that there are readily foreseeable circum¬
stances under which the combined Government advances and corpora¬
tion working capital would be inadequate to meet our cash
require¬
ments.
In
anticipation of such eventualities,
the corporation has
arranged with its regular depository banks to have a call upon a
loan of any part of $100,000,000 at any time and from time to time

Will Pay $1,000,000 in^jCash for Propertiesmore than $1,000,000 in"cask to Cities Service Co. is
provided in an agreement reached between^ that company and the
Mexican Government in settlement
of claims against Mexico arising
out of expropriation of Cities Service Oil Co. properties in 1938.
Under the settlement, made separately from other oil company claims
against the Mexican Government, Cities Service will retain four oil
properties and their subsoil rights.
These had not been developed at
the time of expropriation, and therefore were not included in the deal.
Properties involved in the settlement had been valued at $4,000,000
to $5,000,000 by Cities Service executives, this valuation including sub¬
soil rights.
The Cities Service agreement was similar to that con¬
cluded in May,
1940, by Consolidated Oil Corp. for payment of its
properties seized at the same time by the Mexican Government.

too high in the light of Federal tax requirements not accurately deter¬

The adjusted quarterly profit figure of
$665,739 is therefore presented for purposes of comparison.

provisions for 1942 (normal taxi surtax and excess

cerning the rates likely to be effective when the 1942 Revenue Act is
passed.
The reserve for possible future decline in market value of inven¬
tories, as indicated above,
was increased
by $200,000 in the first

subsidiary, The Brown Instrument Co., on the basis of; excess profits
credits
computed separately for each company-on its respective
"average base period net-income." This provision was based upon the
rates under the Revenue Act of 1941 which would be applicable to the
earnings for this period upon the basis of estimated earnings for the
full year 1942. No provision was made for excess profits-taxes in the
first quarter of 1941.
Provision for these taxes was made for the
year to-date in the second quarter of 1941.
