Not Guilty. "If the Attorney General at the trial of this case had consented to an adjournment, this inquiry might not have been asked for," the Com- missioners report states. "I am not attaching blame to anyone for what happened in this case. In the ex- citement and heat of prosecuting or defending an accused, t

lad matters come up which ' are

sometimcs difficult. to appreciate and assess on the spur of the mom- en . "Before I started in my inquiry. I had the ..dvanta.ge of reading all the evidence taken intthe Watter- worth case together with his Lord- shlp's charge to the Jury. This was made available to me through the Attorney Gcneral's Department. I cannot. therefore. plead ignorance as to what this inquiry is about and what gave rise to it. The unfortun- ate part. however, about this in- quiry is that part of the evidence was given in the Supreme Court where the rules of cross-examine. tlon are almost boundless. and the other part given before this public inquiry where the rules of cross-ex- aminatlon are rather limited. This makes weighing of the evidence read and heard difficult to appre- ciate and to Judge."

Substa of Allegations "The substance of the Winter- worth allegations in his defense of the conspiracy charge was that he was acting as Dr. Grant's agent in obtaining loans from the Fisher- men's Loan Board and that the money obtained through these loans was used for political purposes at the Provincial election held Dec. 11, 1947." . -

After citing excerpts from the Watterworth evidence in the Su- lire-me Court. the report continues: "Watterworth appeared in person beforeunc at two hearings of the Commission in Montague. He re- peated in substance his evidence given in the Supreme Court and asked that sub-poenaes be issued by me and served on certain per- sons in and around Montague. This was done. Some of the per- sons Watter-worth named were absent front the Province at the time and had been absent before this inquiry commenced. The object of having these witnesses sutblpoenoed. I gathered, was to corroborate Waiter-worth's state- ments. Wattei-worth also stated that he and Dr. Grant had work- ed togethcr on a votersi list for the 1947 election.

"Dr. Grant appeared before me at a. public hearing in Murray River on July 31. 1950, where he denied Watterworths accusations above referred to. He stated that he was interested in politics and had as-sisted Wattcrworth with his campaign in the 1943 provin- cial election where Watterworth was a candidate, and had cor.- tinued to work with him until 1945 when disagreement broke out in a provincial by-election. From 1946 on. he (Dr. Grant) had not-h- in; further to do with Walter- worth.

I Misuse Of Funds

"There is no doubt that Fisher- men's Loan Board funds were ob- tained fraudulently by Walter- worth and some of his associates. This appears in the evidence giv- en in the Supreme Court and be- fore me. Watterworih states that all the loans to the fall of 1947 were legitimate implying that those loans made after the fall of 1947 were notilegally olbtained. Dr. Grant states that when the rumor got: around that Watter- worth was keeping money out of loans. or part of it. he refused to sign more applications. Keir Clark. M. L! A.. Montague. states that be was a bit suspicious about the loans in general, made some Ntnqu-iries about the loans around Montague and what he learned was not very reassuring.

”The question now arises. 'Did the Fisher-menis Loan Board know of these fraudulent arpplications?' Watierwort-h states that Keir Clark and Joseph Campbell were above board. Keir Clerk states that after he investigated some of these loans in Montague. he not- ified Mr. Seville. I member of the Board, particularly about loans involving Watterworth as agent. This would be about three weeks before the election of December if, 1947.

"He (Keir Clark) also warned

Dr. Grant at the same time about recommending loans. told him what. he had heard around Monta- gue and that he was rumicious of these loans. Keir Clark states further that Mr. Saville as a re- sult of the information given him had turned down several applica- tions for loans. but that some had already been passed. "Should the Board have been suspicious? Wattet-worth operated a fish plant in Montague and had dealings w-ith fishermen. He had been a candidate in the i043 elect- ion. He had recommended sev- eral applications for loans before those of the full of 1047 which ap- peared to be regular. There was. however. a conviction in 19-14 of breaking and entering the ven- dor's store at Cardigan against Wattei-wort-h. Was this in-forma- tion available to the Board? And. if so, was that alone sufficient to turn down applications where Watterworth was concerned?

"With reference to Dr. Grant. much of the evidence against him is contradictory. particularly as to time. There is no doubt that at one time Dr. Grant and Walter- worth were good friends. to say the least. Dr. Grunt says this as- sociation ceased with the by-elcc- lon of 1940. Waiter-worth says that Dr. Grant signed applications in the fall of liM'I. My terms or reference do not require me to express an opinion and for-.thls reason. I wtlli not quote or com- rhent further on oil the cvldaflce sthmittod. 4

of Cement

The suggestion that a cement highway be laid between sum- merside and Kcnsington was made in the Legislature last night by Mr. Carroll Delaney. 5th Prince. and supported by Hon. Dr. Mac- Mlllan and Mr. D. A. Macllae. 4th Kings.

Mr. Delaney made the suggest- ion during the consideration of the estimates for Public Works and Highways. He noted that 5150.- ooo was being budgeted for the maintenance of paved highways and figured this would be the in- terest on 35,000,000 with which 80 miles of cement highway could be la d.

Ha recalled that pavement and cement roads were laid down in the Summersi e area 25 years ago and that while the paved roads were gone. the cement road still remained in good shape.

"Now if we are going to spend 3150.000 a year on repairs to pav- ed roads we may as well put. down cement." he stated. "We can cem-

menvt. Both he and Mr. Mackae noted that a. street in Montague had been cemented in 1931 and

was still in good condition. Precautions against fire and overloading the Rocky Point ferry. Falrview were urged by Messrs. R. R. Bell and D. L.lMathieson. The lack of a decent boat to replace the Fairview was briefly discussed. Premier Jones stated the Gov- ernment was planning on institut- ing s new system of collecting gasoline tax rebates which would keep a better track on taxes in the

various district that the system presently in force. "I think we are losing between 011.000 and

530.000 a year under the present system." he stated.

A higher rate of pay for truck- men was urged by Messrs. R. R.

true in some places money was used to buy food and for purposes not intended in the Act. But in some cases an impression existed that the money was intended for relief. It is not quite clear to me really how the money was to be spent except to assist fishermen. I found very few fishermen who understood the loan was intended as relief and not to be repaid to the government.

”Some members of the Board understood the money was intend- ed for relief, although a promis- sory noto was taken in all cases. The Board explained this by say- ing that it was to comply with a requirement of the Dominion Gov- ernment and the note was not in- tended to be acted upon. There were no regulations made under the Act governing fishermen's loans durin-g the period under re- view by me. It is really difficult to say for what purpose the loans were to be made except to assist fishermen and that is a fairly broad expression.
