Explanatory Note 2. Because of the tax change being made by clause 3 of this Bill, many of the places of amusement to which this Act relates will not be remitting a tax for every week and it is therefore no longer necessary to require regular Monday returns.

Section 12 now reads: "12.

(1) On every Monday the owner of every amusement or place of amusement in a city shall make a return to the Minister in the form of a statutory declaration showing the prices of admission to and daily attendance at the place of amusement during the previous week, together with such other information and in such form as the :l\Iinister may require. "

(2) The owner of every amusement or place of amusement other than in a city shall make such returns to the Minister and such remittances of the tax collected, at such times and in such manner as may be prescribed by the regulations.". 3. This amendment removes all the taxes payable where the price of admission is sixty cent.s or lESS. Paragraph 1 of the Schedule, where relevant, reads: "1. (

a) the amusement tax payable on the price of admission to a place of amusement "(

i) shall be nil where the price of admission is not more than thirty-five cents, "(ii) shall be three ('ents where the price of admission is more than thirty-fiye cents but not more than thirty-seven cents, "(iii) (Repealed, 1956, c. 5, s. 4) "(iv) shall be four cents where the price of admission is more than thirty-seven cents but not more than forty-four cents, "(
