A spectacle unique in the history of the Province occurred 1n the Legislature yesterday afternoon when the Speaker. Hon. 8. B.

had to nut the motion of the com- mittee chairman. Mr; 5.1-1. Cox, to the vote. and this he flatly refused to do. A motion to wstdhhn from the chair while the vsl ity oi his action could be discussed, moved - Mr. Jones and se Mr.

‘Not Going Through"

After the vsnlous amendments in the bill had been discussed clause by clause and agreed to, the pro- moter moved that the Speaker take the chair and the committee report that the bill had been o-

Mr. Hessian objected. He would refuse to sign the bill and it was, not going through Parliament, he declared. Ton or fifteen words in the bill would cover his objection and the town of Montague a legal body. As it is, they are cov- ered by the Criminal Code. He cited changes which were neces- sary in the Georgetown Act under This was

object they had in mind

Activities of the Department of Agriculture were under review in the Legislature last night, when the Budget debate adjourned with Hon. W. H. Dennis still holding the floor.

Mr. Dennis was preceded by Messrs. Baker and Cox in the de- bate. He was at one point while dlscusing the return of two Percheron pure bred stal- lions. owned by a Montreal brew- ety. These horses might have been retained and used this year, he said, for the fact that (the brewery became aware that there was considerable dissatisfaction in the Province. as it was claimed the only object the company had in ere was to adver- a certain orand. to the company they immediately wrote the Provincial Department, re- gretting that under the circum- stances they could not see their clear to supply any more horses, as sppsmvntly the peopleof the Province misunderstood the

He had no hesitation in saying that he him- self was not one oi’ those wlhc thought these horsm were doing any injury. However, he respect- ed the wishes of the members who thought differently. When the brewery was informed that there was objection to the scheme, they notified the Department that they would discontinue it this your.

Opening Remarks

It was the ambition of his de- partment during the year, he continued, in make it possible to show a marked improvement in the hog and poultry industry oi the Province. “My reason for this," he said, “is on account of the; fart that it is the poorer fnmiors we wish to assist. and they mn ho- wme established in poultry and hogs more cheaply than they can in an. other class of live-stock of the arm. and mums come
