OTTAWA. (Special) - In a meeting lasting upwards of an late Tuesday. Premier Alex Matheson laid the

Wednesday and Thursday.

After the gathering. Mr. Mathe- son told newspaperrneu that he did not make any specific request of Mr- Harris on behalf of the Province. He did. howevenpomt out the mounting debt and particu- larly the debt this year, which may be in the vicinity of S3.000.000.

"Ten years ago. our provincial debt was about ten million dollars. now it is nearly up to twenty-five million." Mr. Matheeon said. "Now in a Province of our population we simply can't keep on that way."

In the five-year period of the 1952-57 tax rental agreement, Mr. Matheson said. it seemed clear that P.E.l. had been overpaid by "upwards of,p million dollars."

There was no doubt whafexcr he said. that the Dominion Burcuu nf Statistics had decidedly 0i'el'v.sI1- mated the population when making its annual calculations.

USED OWN FIGURES

While conceding that the finzim-ml situation of the Province was ”dr- cidedly serious." the Premier would not go as far as to call it a "crisis." It was unfortunate that the D.B.S. he said. used their own figures for population esti- mates.

"We have a complete census of our cities, towns and villages which is much more accurate than the one provided the Bureau."

l-ie admitted that from a legal point of view. the 1952 five-year tax-rental agreement was a "firm contract-" At the same time. in view of the overall financial situa- tion and certain factors which he did not reveal, the Premier is hope- ful for some type of adjustment, whether by an administrative grant or some other arrangement.

Reminded that last week. J. An- gus MacLean, Conservative M.P. for Queens said that P.E.l. was too poor to participate on the Federal- Provincial Health Insurance plan, Mr. Matheson said that while Mr. MacLean was "not too far out." he felt the Island might yet join up with the other provinces.

it was on this account. he said. that he held talks with Health Min- ister Paul Martin. Mr. Matheson also spent some time in conference with Works Minister Robert Win- ters.

was the fact that very few cattle have had caifhood vaccination against brucelosls.

He urged all breeders of pure bred stock to have their calves vaccinated so that if and when sufficient numbers of cattle could be assembled there would be no holdup for this reason. Calves must be vaccinated between the age of six and nine months. The ani- mals required for the South Ameri- can market are first or second calves aged two to three years.

Mr. Macllae said that while the South American market at pres- ent does not require a certificate of vaccination it is reasonable to assume that they will in the near future. require such protection. For the time being they are satis- fied with animals which are nega- tive to the test.

J. Angus MacLean PC -Queens asked whether the New Brunswick -Nova Scotia program will be expanded later to include Prince Edward Island. Mr. Lesage said he had mentioned the "Maritime Provinces" and he always thought they included Prince Edward Is- land. He didn't elaborate.

Mr. Lesage also rejected ap- peals by Premiers Flemming of New Brunswick and Stanfield of Nova Scotia for expanded subven- tlons on Marltirne coal so it could be used econonically by thermal on Maritime coal so it could be used economically by thermal power plants.

Mr. Lesage said the first plant. scheduled to deliver power in 1950 and any future Installations would use Maritime coal. Recent price increases for oil made it appear that it would be cheaper to use coal.

The attitude of Ottawa and New B. nswick authorities to further hydro development on the St. John River is contained in a ser- iea of letters exchanged by Mr. Lesage and Premier Flemming. They were tabled at the request of Thomas M. Bell (PC-St. John- Albert).

On March I4. Premier Flem- ming sent Mr. Lesage an engin- eering report on the St. John River prepared by J. L. Feeney, chief engineer of the New B. ick Electric Power Commission. A let- fer to Premier Flemming from Ed- gar Fournier. chairman of the New Brunswick commission. also was enclosed.

WAIT FOR COST REDUCTION

Mr. Feeney's report said in part that future projects on the St. John or the Tohique River should not he proceeded with "until the cost of money is considerably re- duced. . . ."

CONSIDER WATERSHED

However. he said "we feel that the question of federal assistance for the initial phase of Beechwood construction should continue to re- ceive your attention as weli as the entire question of powe rdevelop- ment in the St. John River wat- ershed."

Th Beeechwood project repre- sents the first phase of St. John River development proposed by New Brunswick in January. 156. It envisages three hydro units. two of which are being financed by the province.

On April 6. Mr. Lessge wrote. in part. to Premier Flemming:

"I have your letters of March I and your telegram of March 27 in which you agree that collid- eration of a third unit at Beech- wood and the question of Tohique storage should be postponed until I" ncial conditions are more fav- orable.
