LONDON. March .29— (AP)- Wlnston Churchill's Conservatives tonight handed the Labor Govern- ment its first defeat ,ln the new House of Commons. but it was on a technical issue and does not mean the overthrow of Prime Min. later Attlee_'s' Government.
The Government was defeated 283 to 257 on a motion for ad- journment.
The Conservatives forced the technical issue to a vote in a sur. prise move. It apparently was\part of Conservative strategy to keep under pressure the slim over-all mfilority of three which Labor holds in the House.
After the vote was announced there were crie. of "Resign" and "We are the masters now" from the Conservative side of the House. ‘

motiori of Premier Jones. His mot- ion carrled on 9. straight party vote, the Opposition members voting contra. All the Liberal mem- bers present stood up in support of the Premier.
'll'.1e preamble of the bill. Which was sponsored by Hon. Dr. Mac- Millari. stated that the present Hospital site is insufficient to carry future exlentions and ad- ditions. and that adequate parking space is required. The land ap- plied for is an unused part of Government House lands fronting on Brighton Road. running from the present Hospital land to Gov- ernment Pond.
Premier’: Statement
"I don't know why the Prince Edward island Hospital wants that." the Premier said. "The Gov- ernment has no knowledge of any particular purpose. I am not clear and I haven't been able to get the information. 'I'he.l'e was talk a few years ago about another cstazblislr iirtsnl. goingrup across the Pond. and I don't know just what ob- ligations we have.

Do they propose to pay for this land?
Dr. Maolvfiilan raid it was to be vested in fee simple.

ct it for nothing? That land is

Still Seeks Proof Of
Premier’s Allegations
Only 05,000 has been placed in the Estimates this yerfr for cori- str-uctlon of potato warehouses and it is not the intention of the Clov- ernment to encourage more build- ing except in a few outlying sec- tions’. Premier Jones informed the Legislature yesterday.
He spoke after Mr. William Hughes. former Provincial Treas- urer and Minister of Health and Welfare. had stated that he could find nothing in the warehouse ag- reement and Federal order-ln- council tabled on Monday by Pre- mier Jones to substantiate the Pre- mier’s claim that he had been re- sponsible for the agreement.
In reply to a query from Mr. I-Iighes, Resources Minister Cullen said it was not intended to aban- don the potato warehouse pro- gramme completely. "In some marc- houses that have been built we have had a little trouble with
got in," he said. "We would like to iron out these difficulties before proceeding with any more."
Mr. Bell said there should be more information as to the man- ner in which the potato agree- ments had been implemented. He understood that at Bloomfield some producers would have a loss on account of frost. Would any con- sideration be given to those who have sustained losses through their‘ potatoes being frozen in govern- ment warehouses?
Hon. Mr. Cullen said he ha-.1 heard some rumbrs that a loss hlil been sustained. but no official no- tice had been recelved. and the matter had_ not been u‘scussecl by the Government. There had ,be_en no requests to the Department for assistance.

from Mr.. Bell, he said the matter was being investigated.
Premier-‘s statement
Premier Jones said that in 945. when the programme was m ted. a. survey was made by officials of the Dominion Government and it was hoped to be able to teach peo- ple in the outlying parts of. the country -to look after those ware- houses. io see that the frost was kept out of them. The warehouses are built in the best possible way, and are placed in outlying parts so that the potatoes can be loaded in refrigerator cars in one day and get away quickly. He was told that at present there are 1,000 carloads in various warehouses in the Prov- lime. and they could keep on ship- ping from these buildings even though the roads are closed to

FREDERICTON. ‘March 20 - (CP)—The rate of New Brun.swiok‘s proposed sales tax will be four per cent, Hon. .1. G. Bous-her. pro- vincial secretary-treasurer. an- noun-iced today in bringing down a record high budget in the legis- lature. The new tax is expected to yield $2.000,000——en-ough to bal- ance the budget-—ancl cost almost $100,000 to administer.
Mr. Boucher estimated that both expenditure and revenue will ex- ceed $30,000,000 for the first time in New Brunswickb history. He forecast revenue of $30,221,531 and
expenditure of $30,103,308, which would leave a surplus of $110,213 for the fiscal year ending next
Oct. 31. in the preceding year, a surplus of $1,902,708 was left from a, revenue of $29.4..'>3,146.
The estimates lnclilde S-1,300,000 expected from the special three- cenvts-per-gallon tax on gasoline for winter road maintenance. This amount raised both the estimated revenue and expenditure totals’. above the $30.000.00'.) mark. With- out the speciai gasoline tax, antici- pated revenue was shown as $28.- 02l.531 and expenditure as $20,-

‘Mr. Boucher said the Govem- ment measure would recommend “liberal exemptions" which would seriously impair revenue from the tax but lessen the burden on the lower income group.

The Provincial Government has not determined "exactly" the route which will be taken by the pro- posed trans-Canada. highway in this Province, but the agreement will be signed next month in which it will have to be clearly defined, Premier Jones informed the Legislature yesterday.
speaking on the $600,000 estim- ate for the project while the House was in committee on sup- ply, the Premier explained that a portion of .this money would be returned to the Province.
He said that he and the chief engineer of the Public Works De- partment would proceed to Ottawa on April 17 to sign the agree- ment.
“As I said before, I don't think we gain so very much by building the trans-Canada road," he added; “but when it comes to bridges we certainly gain, because one-half of the cost is borne by the Dom- inion and the route from Borden to Wood Islands is a pretty good one in that there are quite a few bridges.”
"We -haven't ourselves determin- ed exactly the route. and I do not suppose that anything should be announced until the agreement is signed." he said. “I am sorry I am not able to give the House this in- formation at the present time."

The question came up in con}- mlttee on Supply under the esti- mates for the Department of in- dustry and Natural Resources. Mr. Philip Matheson asked whether Mr. Graham Rogers, director of transportation for the Department. was responsible for giving "the wrong information" to Transport Minister Chevricr at Ottawa.

OTTAWA. March 29 — (OP) -- An unprecedented budgetary defic- it of 300000.000 looms for the can- adian National Railways this year if all current demands for wage increases are met.
Donald Gordon. C.N.R.. presi- dent. today told the commons railway committee. that the sys- tem. without considerlng possible changes in wage rates. believes it will end up the year's activities with a deficit of only $32,300,000.

Transport Minister chcvrier and Mr. Gordon both said that the budget indicated no such thing.

Hon. Mr. Cullen: “I don't think that was just exactly what Mr. Rogers stated. I-le dldn’t say there was no shortage."
Quotes Letter
Mr. Bell quoted the following statement in a letter from the director of transportation here, ad- dressed to the Deputy Minister of Transport and read by Hon. Mr. Chcvrier in Parliament:
'‘The real facts are that during the past several. months we,havc had the best refrigerator car sit- uation here for some years past and l, for one. have no hesita- tion in going on record as stating that the Canadian National Rail- ways have done everything in their power to aid us in this re- frigerator car situation. I feel very strongly that they should be given fuli credit for this. and to my personal knowledge the Cana- dian National Railways officials at Charlottetown. at Moncton. and at Montreal have given every atten- tion to this matter and I feel very confident they will use all means within their power to aid our shippers in the months of March and April."

Premier Leaving April 17 th To Sign Road Agreement
Salary Boosts For Ministers
Increased salaries for a -number of Government members is con- tained in the estimates voted in the Legislature yesterday. it was explained by Hon. W. E. Darby. Provincial Treasurer. i
The Premier's salary, he said, was being increased from 84.500 to $6,000. and the Ministers of Public works and Highways; and of Health and welfare, from $3.000 each to $4,000. The Minister of Ag- riculture gets a 3500 increase, from 33.000 to $3,500; salaries of the Ministers of Education, Industry and Resources, the Attorney Gen- eral. and the Provincial secretary are unchanged at 33.000. The Pro- vincial Treasurer gets $1,500. Ala: included in the estimates was the $1,000 increase for the leader of the Opposition, which had been previously voted by the House.
This provision made the Province a part owner in the bridge. as it was doubtful whether the Domin- ion could build one within a Prov- ince on its own account. "That was the way the Legislature of that day solved the problem of getting the bridge built," he said. "I think perhaps it was a pretty good arrangenierit. but there is no doubt. as the leader of the 09- posltion says, that we have paid over $400,000. The interest on that would amount to an equity of over $100,000 in that bridge."
The Premier said that he had called the attention of Mr. Donald Gordon, president of the C.‘N.R.,h the question of Hillsboro Bridge. It was thought first the bridge could be widened but they were assured by the best bridge builder! the_ steel_in it has pro Ibly crystallised. and that it should be discarded. Arrange- for a
the near future in Montreal, and they are just waiting for the date to be fixed.
