paganda that was used to defeat the socd roads scheme in 1919.

“The Arsenault Government," It was charged, has committed the Island in an expenditure of $875.- 000 for improved highways for five years. Where is the money to come from’! Does It mean increased tax- ation or increased debt‘! Electors, ask the candidates these questions at every meeting!"

And again: “Vote out a Govern- ment that is attempllll: to bribe the people with their own money by spending thousands on the roads just before an election."

"The Tories have been the tax doubler; in the put. Now they are planning to be the tax treblers."

Those were the kind of scare- headings used in the Patriot news- paper during, the campaign of 1919. Here is another piece of campaign Propaganda from the same news- paper. It is entitled: "How the Tor- ies Propose to Tax the Farmers."

"What does this (Education) Proposal’. . . Take for instance a farmer whose farm is worth $6. 000. What increase does this mes-n in taxation? It means en increase of $19 on the land and a pol] m; of $4.00, a total increase of $22.00 for education. But that is not all. they propose to merit the Do- minion Government mad scheme, putting up sixty per cent from Prince Edward Island to every forty per cent from the Domin- ion. The initial grant is 880.003. We will have to put up $120,000 in order to obtain that 8110.000» What will this mean in addition- al taxation? Will they raise this on the land as usual? Roulhly- speaking ~ the valuation of our taxable lands is $17,000,030. T0 raise $120,000 on this valuation ,w11l mean that the rate would, “be”! mills on the dollar, or 7-10- ths of 1 per cent.

As I mat- ter of fact. the then Memier of the Province was making provision l0 take advantage of the grant before it had been passed in Parliament, and I do not think that the II"- sent leader of the Government hi! any right to say that his III"! were the orrinators of the I000‘ roads scheme in this Province.

DR. MCMIILAN: If Providence aver shows its wrath on you, it will Wlllc you cut altogether; unless it fives you a second chance under the Ticket of Leave Act. (Laughter) The first thing we encountered in 1923 was this storm, which is thus Nierrod to in the report of the provincial Engineer;

“It is impossible to state the actual cost to the country of re- pairing the damage done by this storm as in several cases the structures will be rebuilt or more perament material and in other

and left substantial steel structures which are there to this dayyct the members of this Government will get up and say that the Stewart Government neglected the Fridges of the Province when they came into power!

PERMANENT WORKS

You will ‘notice, Mr. Speaker. that these were permanent works- not work that needs to be renewed every second year. like much of the

instances partial repairs only will made until permanent structures can be built. It is safe to assume, however. that the damage was no loss than was done by the storm of 1915, when it was estimated that the cost of repairs would ex- ceed $50,000.00, as the destruction

expenditure that was detailed the other day by the present Minster of Public Works.

At the end of 192a, notwith- standing the fact that upwards of 400 wooden bridges had been re-

Regularly w

placed by iron culverts“ and 45o larger ones by reinforceed concrete. there were still approximately 4,- 000 wooden structures to be renew- ed or maintained. In the 1924 re- port of the Department we find that the policy of replacing these wooden culverts by pipes of cor- rugated lron was extensively pur- sued. 8,000 feet of these pipes belnk purchased, varying in size from 15 in. to 36 ln., end 375 wooden struc- tures were thus replaced by these

was just as widespread and the cost of labour and materials higher now than then."

That was the first legacy we re- ceived. And the condition of the roads, when we came into power, augmented the difficulty. The Pre- mier says that in 1927, after this Government assumed office, he had occasion to go to Freetown station and that his car got stuck in the mud of the road. in the middle of summer. He did not tell us, how-

ever. about the year 1923, when he was a, member of the outgoing Bell Government, and when, to their everlasting disgrace, they stopped all the road work in the Province through pique and spite over their defeat at the polls, and left not only one place but a hundred plac- es on the roads where cars could

placed by reinforced concrete struc- tures.

In the following year, 1925, this policy was steadily continued. 4,- 850 lineal feet of these pipes were purchased varying in diameter from 12 in. to 36 in. and 200 struc-

that the people of this Province had to travel over for several weeks after the second day of the defeat of the Bell Government, Ind my hon. friend who is now posing u! patron of good roads was the first lieutenant in that Government. l-Ie talks about the condition caused by the elements in I927. but what about the condition for which he and his Government were direc- tly responsible in i923, and which they could have remedied. Thly might, in common deceri ,. have continued the employment of men on thou projects which were left in such s. state of dispsir. But, no: just as soon as they found that they were turned down by the people the order went out the next day. and every man and child that was working on the roads obeyed that order, and quit the job.

concrete structure with openings varying from 3 to 100 square feet. 1n 1926 we replaced ivith corru- gated irun pipes 150 of the former wooden culverts, twelve of the larz- er wooden bridges being replaced by concrete structures with open- ings varying frcm 8 to 100 square feet.

At the end of 1926, 1125 culverts and 609 bridges bad been errected. where we found 400 culverts. II"! 609 bridges when we came into power.

The year 1927 was an election year and it can be left out of the reckoning.

In the year 192B, this wonderful Government that claims to have done so much for public works, al- ter borrowing over half a million dollars every year, put in 268 small culverts and 29 large ones. I-low does that compare with. out. 375 small culverts and 110 large ones in 19M, the filst full year uni" the Stewart Government. The fil- ures speak louder than any will‘! words.

That is 1800 that they did not have to do anything with, and so. when the Minister of Pub- lic Works states that he went over the Province in 1927 and found evi- dance of neglect of public works on all sides, he is making a statement which is more or less imaginary.
