BRITAIN'S BUDGET
[By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.] (Per Press Association.)
London. July IS. In the debate on the Budget-Bill Mr Chamberlain ridiculed Sir' W. Harcourt's pessimism over the financial prospects of the late republics. Already, he said, the Orauge T River Colony showed a surplus. The Bill was read a third time by a majority 170 votes.
During the debate on the Bill, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach stated that coal tax concessions amounting to three quarters of a million would be provided for out of the loan fund. He had still £19,000,000 in hand. During thirteen months of the war £45,000,000 had been provided out of taxation.
