OTTAWA. April 30.-,Last evening

in connection with the item of $60,-i

000 in the Prince Edward Island esti- mates, for the Souris breakwater the Hon Mr. MacDonald (Kings) asked for su explanation. The Minister of Public Works stated that the amount was required to complete the contract

with H. J. Phillips, CharIott»?otivii.

Mr. MacDonald thought the coin-

inunity would be better served if seine portion of the appropriation were spent on repairs to the railway wharf, The shed. he said, was in ii very bad condition, and on account

_oinmendation of the district engin- eer. Mr. MacDonald expressed cori-

_llflrnce in the district engineer. but Vasited "I-low far is this wharf from :thc West River bridge wharf, for

_which there is a votc of over $8,000?"

_ Mr. Elliott: “My informaliign jg _that it is three or four miles below itliat. bridge," '

Mr. lilzirllniiald (Kings): When

lihrisc of us who know the situation _existing there compare the treat-

_mcnt the \Vest River district is re- ,ccirlng ivith that accorded to other

_points in the Province, especially in 'Kings County, we cannot help won-

Df 91° \‘00f 195-kin! mB¥'Ch9-H0152 ill- ldrrlng why it ls that so much atten-

teiicied`for the Magdalen Islands could not be stored there. If this were not pocaiblo an extra approp- riation Jiould be provided for the purpose. V

The Minister agreed but stated the

completion of the breakwater was ur- gent.

In connection with__the $10.60() ap-

propriation for a wharf for Westville the 'I-lon. Mr. MacDonald asked "Where is Westville?" and was in- formed that "It ia in Queens Co. On the south aide_ of the West River." Thereupon Mr. MacDonald retorted: “It is rather difficult to understand why so much money is voted for these places. There is a vote of $8,- 200 for wharf reconstruction and ex- tension at West River bridge, and this vote of 010.600 for the wharf at We's"t\"iil'e. Cari the minister tell us just what business is being done at there places to justify such an ex- penditure?"

Most of the time was taken up in the read- lfls of long fyles of correspondence. and in this connection the Hon. Mr. Bennett said he did not intend to

_make comments but to allow the' 'members of the committee to judge for themselves. The trouble involv- ed the misappropriation of funds and unfriendly relations among the inspectors. I-Ie concluded by saying that the correspondence revealed a

[situation which was a disgrace tol 1 Canada and the duty devolved on the i Prime Minister to make good hlsf high pretensions of virtue Ln office by dealing with the I-lon. Mr. Venlot as his case deserved. The Postmast- er General, after half an hour, was;

P. 0. IRREGULARITIES IN

SAINT _JOHN DISTRICT

OTTAWA, Ont., April 30.-Admln- 1

istratlon of post offices in the Saint John, N. B., district was under con- sideration in committee of supply; of the House of Commons today ` Hon. H.. B. Bennett. opposition lead- er, said he would present the factsi in connection with the admlnistra-i tion there and he would leave it. to, the House and the country whetherf the post office department shouldl have their confidence considering what was disclosed in the fyles. l

Offices in the district were urider_

the control of a. district superlnten- E dent and two inspectors. The sup- erintendent was Mr. Wood, the sen-

ior inspector, Mr. Emmerson andthe _

junior inspector, Mr. Grlf'ft.hs. Titel relations between the inspectors. Mr.

Bennett continued, had not alwaysl

I Nova Scotia estimates were then dismissed. and they continued until the houss adjourned. _

This morning an importaiit. if ra-

ther noisy and unconventional dis- icussioii of the Marine and Fisheries Committee was held. The regula- tion of the lobster fishing occupied a good deal of the time, some of the members claiming that fishermen should be restricted to their own dis- tricts, and others that it would be 9. coiitravciilion of the common rights of fishing. Tivo concrete conclusions were lirrived at amidst ai mccllcy of conflicting opinions. It was recom- inendcd that the Biological Board bc asked to invcstigiito the lobster and smelt fisheries with special reference to coitscrvutlon. the establishment of s'1nctuarlcs,: and the duration and time of opcii fishing in the different districts, and make a report to th! Miiiisier.

Mr. Ercst (Queens, Lunenburg)

pleaded earnestly for the revocation ol' the 25:: fee paid for lobster licen- 5,-_.5_ op the ground that it was only a nuisance tax and nddrd nothin! silbstalitial to thc revenuex

The Holi. Messrs. Sinclair and

MacDonald both said that they had ncvcr had a complaint as to impos- ition of this license fee, and the sui- gcstion was voted down by I ll-F85 majority.

In this connection, however, G¢n-

cral McCrce (North Vancouver). moved that a recommendation be made to the department that the li- cense fee for trawling and lllllhl net licenses for salmon throu8h0\li' Canada should be fixed at 25 cents and his motion was carried by U16 casting voe of the chairman, Wil- liam Duff (Antfgonishl.

A strenuous debate followed as to the prevention of beam trawlin§ in the interest of conservation and of the fishermen who had to leave for the United States owing to the de- pletion of fresh fish inshore. A few wer, insistent upon it: others held that beam crawls should be used.b\it limited in number until the fisher- men could ensure I constant auPP\l' of fresh flah under more modern me- thods and better conditions. It wal decided to adjoum further consider- ation to give members time to read the report of the Royal/ Commission on fisheries inet leaued. rmmoauioir own thv h°\1°° 'mi'

iresult of an investigation by thei ljuiiior inspector, a shortage of $907.- i

80 had been discovered. This was at! Dupeys Corners. It was dlsclosedi that the post master, a\er having liquidated $150 of his deficit, had given an undertaking to pay of! the balance at the rate of $40 a. month. Communications between the chief accountant in Ottawa and Inspect- or Griffiths showed that the inspec- | tor guaranteed these installment payments. Many months passed how- ever, and no monies were received by the chief accountant. To the chief accountants representations Mr. Griffiths reiterated his assurance that the installments would be received in due course and back payments would be made.

As a result of correspondence b,e-

tween superintendent and chief ac- countant tlie district superintendent himself announced an investigation of the case. Questioning the post-

Caledonian Club ` Monthly Meeting

The regular monthly meeting of

the Caledonian Club was held yes- terday evening in their club rooms the President Mr. Abeii MacLean oc- cupying the chair.

There was a large attendance, and

much liitercst. was manifested in the proceedings.

It was unaiiiinously decided to hold

the annual gathering at Vemon River station, July lst. It was also decided to hold a grand whist party

master, he discovered receipts for a total of $330 sent or given to inspec- tor Grlfflths. Inspector Griffiths had admitted receiving payment of $200 by registered letter but had not plac- ed it to the postmaster's account be- cause he wanted to walt until he could make a "better showing." The superintendent added that he was inclined to believe the postmasters accounts of payments were correct.

Mr. Bennett then turned to what

he termed the "Bhediac incident." in connection with the administration of the poetoffice there by Mr. Grif- fiths. In 192'! District Superintend- end Woods had not recommended Mr. Griffiths for an increase in sal- ary in view of Mr. Griffiths' irregu- larities at Dupey'a' Corners and She- dlac, continued Mr. Bennett. Bimi- larly ln 1928 when the matter of sal- ary revision was reported Mr, Woods had again declined to recommend an increase for Mr. Griffiths. But. the fyle showed A letter by P. T. Coolican, aupt. of postal services, written in 1921 to Mr. Woods where- in lt la set forth that the postmast- er-generel untrusted that Mr. Grif- nthu annual increase be proceeded with notwithstanding Mr. Wood‘a_ 're- fuaai. , »'r'he postmaster-general advised that he kriew all the details of the case. In 1928 Mr. Woods had again referred to the Dupeya Coram one and ul further memo was attached

in the club rooms on some date, not Iyet decided in the week of May 6th. i Two pictures were presented to l the club. One, a splendid pencil rep- | rcsentatlon of Flora MacDonald, done I by Mr. Frank Baker, City, was glvcn by Mr. D. J. MacDonald: the other. a. water colour painting was execut- ed by Miss Nora MacKenzie, 50 School Street. and was given by herself, _

Excellent music was rendered by

A meeting of the games committee

was held after the regular meeting »f the Club to arrange a programme for the annual gathering.

this matter had been enquired into by the postmaster-general and Mr. Geboury, that the explanation of Mr. Griffiths in conection with the case was considered satisfactory, that the case was considered closed and no further reference should bemade to the conduct of Mr. Griffiths. He did not intend to comment upon tbeae situations in the poet office de- partment, said Mr. Bennett.
