Hon. Mr. LeP e commended the work done by is Society, and particularly by its agent, Mr. Mac-

an.

Tile sectiom of the bill empow- ering the Societys agents to excr. cise the authority of a constable provoked considerable discussion. . hee cited the case of a farmer hauling a pres with two horses. The agent of the Society came along and Save the fanner “a terrible calling down“ for beet- ing the horses. "We all know," Mr. MdPhee said, “that it. is neces- sB-ry to use the whip at times. We beat our youngsters and we have a rifflit. to beat our horses sonic- tima. if they don't do their duty. This man lust stepped out of his Place. We don't want to abuse our animals but if they won't pull we must use the whip a. little. This man just carried his d-uty too far. I don-t know what restriction you should Dut on but that is what I am objecting to."

Mr. Saviile noted that under the Act the Society's agent could go into a man's stable and take his animal somewhere else and no- body could stop him. He was in Byllll-Pfliihy With the Society's aims, but there was danger that this legislation was going too far. He agreed with Mr. McPhee that one must use “reasonable means" to make animals work.

Mr. Stewart said them was pro- vision against the agents exceed_ ing their authority.

Premier Campbell said Sec. 8 of the Act provided that the Mayor and Council shall continue in of- fice until their successors are elect- ed or they themselves re-eiected. In spite of that section there was some contention that the defect was “still uncured." and "in order to make the matter absolutely be- yond question "he would move that there be added to the section the govision that it should be deemed Woiy inter eJia to "any case where for any reason an election is not held at the time prescribed therefore." this amendment to be deemed retroactive in its effect. and to the section as origin-

Colin. R. C. Chandler, chairman ~01 the finance committee, at the 1 meeting of the City Council Mon- day night in giving his statement of expenditures and tax collections i to date this year followed that statement with an analysis of how each $100 of revenue expenditure is distributed.

The figures given below refer to 1936. the last year, Coun. Chandler said. for which complete figures were available.

Uncontrollable:

Following was the statement of expenditures and revenue ioi" this year with corresponding figures for a similar period tlic previous year. The estimates for 1937 and for 1938 were included also in the statement Coun. Chandler read.

Commenting on different items the Chairman of Finance point- ed out that in some cases where this year's expenditures exceeded last year's for the same period the reason probably was because of work done earlier" this season. That was the case with respect to expenditure for Government Squares, while in- creased miscellaneous expenditure was due in large part to civic elec- tion expenses.

Coun. A. A. Heunessey, chairman of streets and Coun. Dr. Heath McIntyre. chairman of Police a- gleed to look into expenditure in their dopartilicnts to ascertain why there had bccn an increase.

On resumln . the Budget debate in the Legisia ure Monday evening, Mr. C. C. aker, Fourth District of Prince, indcrsed the sentiment-l of speakers on the Draft Address with regard to former members who had passed away during the year.

The Premier, he sai , had dealt "clearly. candidly and comprehen- sively" with the financial situation and the reasons therefore. I-Ifs arguments had been “sound, well founded and straight-forwardly brought to the attention of the House. This was only what was expected of one of the Premier's record and reputation.

To the borrowing under the late Conservative Government Mr. Baker attributed an interest charge of $25,000 yearly, which in ten years would amount to $300,000.

He congratulated the Minister of Public Works on keeping so close- ly to his estimates during the

year.

The Minister, Mr. Baker regretted to ay, had been "harshly criticis- ed" by the member from Fifth Kings (Mr. Hughes) about the pav- ed road projects. An apportunity has been provided to discuss the proposed program prior to its adoption, “and if my recollection serves me no serious objection was rated at that time," said Mr. Baker.

The same was true with respect to the criticism of the member from Strathgartney (Mr. Stewart), "I relnelnbcr opening the subject and lasing tlic objection that the Charlottetown-Borden road by way of Bonshaw was not. receiving, in the pro osed pro ram, a mileage in groport on to 0t er proposed routes

L‘. l‘ must say that; was very dis- appointed in he lukewarm support my objection received from the member Sula rtney. He should have been more interested than I was, because a much greater mileage of that road lies in First Queens than in Fouth Prince- "I understand that no contract has been let for the four or five mic. of hardsurfacirlg proposed to be laid on this road, due to the fact that tenders were too high, and that it would be more ec- onomical to defer this year until a greater mileage has been prepared for subgrading. This should meet with the a provai of the member. as it woul be inconsistent on his

art to bemoan the financlaistaild- rig of the province and yet insist 0T1 Dal/ed roads being laid in his district at a. cost which exceeded that in uzner localities."

Mr. Baker commended the Min- ister of Agriculture on his efforts during the year. He believed that never had a. more wholeheal-teri effcrt been made to promote and assist the industry. He strongly re- commended the continuance and development of agricultural short courses. .

He approved the govemmenvs effort to assist in distributing seed grain, and said it was important to correct the erroneous idea that

in eulosis, should be taken in

‘ chairman and $300 each

this grain was to be distributed free of cost.

In the matter of educational ro- form Mr. Baker noted that man people seemed to have a cure-ai or our problems. ‘The matter had been ably dealt with by the Pre- mier and he knew of no one better qualified to discuss this question. Latin and other studies objected to mighrtflbe thought. bemade option- al. but this would leave a gap which _would have to be filled by other studies, making still greater demands upon the teacher.

‘There was too great a tendency, Mr. Baker insisted. to leave edu- cation to the schools. Training in ood citizenshi may be taught in he home by t e parents. and this form cf education, by example, was vitally important. He thought one influence which

4 made for “insubordination" was the

garty newspaper. The Government, e complained, was recelvin "en- tireiy unjust and uncaled-for criticism" which was detrimental t0 the interests of the Province. In- stead of "mud-slinging" there should be helpful comments, and more good would result, he thou ht.

Passing over this subject wth- out s ecifying the criticism he had in m nd. Mr. Baker took up the public question. He expressed con- cern at the high provincial death- rate from tuberculosis and stressed the increased demands of the Pro- vincial sanatorium. A blood test. or at least a skin test. for tubal; schools, he suggested.

Fisherman's Loan Board

with regard to the Fisherman's Inan Board. Mr. Baker noted it had been charged in the House that the officials of the Board ex- ceeded, their estimate by 100 per cent. That charge was correct. However, this was a new venture, only organized last year, and the applications for loam have exceed- ed all expectations. thereby neces- sitating a great deal more work than was anticipated. There was no doubt that the estimate was in- sufficient and therefore had to be exceeded to some extent.

Hon. Mr. LePage: " ight I make an explanation?"

Mr. Baker: “Surely. It will give me a rest."

Hon. Mr. LePage: "I might say that the cost of administration is for two years and not for one. when that estimate was made lest year there was no thought of the ler e number of buildings to be bu t in this Province. 'I‘he amount would have been quite sufficient to take care of the office and the meagre salaries of the three mem- bers of the Board. Another thing the Premier just reminded me c‘. is that we had double the amount of money from Ottawa last year to administer. The saiariev. as stated before. were $000 a vear for the for the other mmebers. The rest was ex- penses."
