THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN, APRIL

‘LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY.

os ON THE BUDGET CLOSED | YESTERDAY,

The House Gets Through Supply To-day —Other Matters,

Fripay, April 23.

House met at 11.15.

Mr. Mackinnon introduced a bill respect- ing surety and guarantee companies, which was read a first time and set down for second reading tomorrow.

Hon. Mr. Mcl.ean presented s bill pro- viding fur the incorporation of the town of Souris, which was set down for second reading tomorrow.

Mr. Blanchard then resumed the debate on the motion to go into committee of sup- ply. He thought that tne premier, in the face of his boast concerning economy, should have run the affairs of the province fora less sum then the late Govern- ment. Bat this has not been d-ne. There was a yearly difference of abou’ $30,000 between the two admin- istrations, and the Leader bad not shown | where the money had gone. Then in | regard tothe debt. Despite all the taxes | they have levied, and the debenture debt that they have fastened on the orovince, the Leader admits a debt of $206,000. Will the country be satisfied with this? The Government, before they introduced an assessment act, should have practiced economy in every branch. But instead of this there was a large increase in the expenditure. Ip the matters of interest and ferries there was great extravagance. The farmers, he pointed out, were satisfied to pay tax: s, but they want to know where the money goes. Although the late Oppo- +i ion complained regarding the delegations of the late Government, we fiod that when the Leader was abroad in connection with the Bebring Sea matter a lawyer had to be employed as Attorney-General, while the usual salary was paid. They did not practice what tney preached. In conclu- sion Mr. Blanchard pointed out that it was not tbrongh avy desire of his that he had occupied a seatin the House during the past four years, and he intimated that if left to bimself he would not be in it daring the four years that are to come.

The motion that tue House go into com- mittee of supply was then put and carried, Mr. Robertson taking the chair.

On the item for the administration of justice Mr. Campbeli pointed out that it was hie intention to make a few remarks on the motion to go into Committee of Supply, but through frome misunder- standing he had not done so. He spoke in terms of commendation of the late Hon Alexander Laird, with whom he had beea associated in public life. By the death of Mr. Laird be thought the country had lost a man of sterling integrity. Mr. Campbell then proceeded to criticize the item under consideration making special reference to the Attorney-(General’s drawing full pay while he was absent from the Province. He also pointed out that the reductions in expenditure referred to by the Premier were small compared with those ettected by the Sullivan Govern- ment. Referring to the abolition \of the Legislative Council be pointed out that the late government had made many at- tempts to effect this object, but their efforts had always been thwaried by the Liberale in that body.

The item passed.

When the item for education came up Mr. Campbell protested against the manner in which the schools in his dis- trict were inspected, and urged that the law be amen ed so as to make the in- spection more thorough. He had no com- plaints to make, however, regarding the men. His objection was to the systew as it is carried out.

Hon. Mr. Peters tbought that as Mr. Campbell bad been a representative of his district in this House for some months he should have eomplained of the laxity of the inspection of schools in his section.

Mr. Campbell said he had represented the matter to the Superintendent of Education.

Hon Mr. Farquharson thought that the inspectors did not give the time to the schools that they required although they may bave given all tbe time thev could. He considered aday short enough fora thorough inspection. The matter was of great importance in view of the large ex- penditure in this direction, and it was also in the interests of the pupils. He heard of no complaints regarding the inspection of schools coming in from the ccuntry and the present inspectors seemed to be competent met.

Hon. Mr. eters said if Mr. Campbell could prove his statement regarding the inspection of schools in his district there would be a new inspector appointed very soon.

Mr. Campbell gave his authority for the statements he had made.

Mr. Shaw expresved himself as favorable toathorough inspection of the schools once each year instead of having two burried annual inspections as at present. He thought that female teachers. should receive the same pay as male teachers, other things being equal, and complained that the money paid for assistance in the way of examination papers came out of the Provincia) Treasury instead of out of the pocket of the Superintendent of Education.

Mr. Campbell thought that there was room for improvement in the matter of education, and argued in favor of remod- delling the Education Act in some particu- lars. He thought that the fullest value was not received for the monev expended on edu- cation, and argued in favor of paying the femule teachers the same as was pad males, provided they were equally compe- tent and were doing similar work.

Hon. Mr. Fargubarson asked Mr. Campbell if it was his idea to put up the salaries of the female teachers or bring the salaries of male teachers down to what

| to furnish some information on the point. Referring to the matter of scholarships, he pomted out that the idea of their intro- duction wa. to place the poor child on the

But

same footi.c asthe rich cildrén. this was not the case now. The standard had been so changed that the poor boy

was practically ont of the race. He thought a change should be made in the standard so that the chi lren of poor parents, coming from districis which could vot afford a first-class teacher, migui b- able to take advantage of it.

Mr. Campbell was speaking at one o’clock when the Honse took recess.

At the afternoon session the item for education was farther disenssed by Hon. Mr. McMillan, and Messrs. Campbell and Blanchard after which it passed.

When the items for ferries cam2 up Mr, Campbell pointed ont that this aren of the pablic serv c# hal not been condueted in an econom:cal manner. These ferries cost the present Government mach more than thev did their predecessors.

Mr. Shaw did not wish to deprive the people of any measure of accommodation to which they were entitled, but he did take exception to the enormous amount of movey that was speut in that service. This was one of the leakages in the ahip of state. The receipts from this service fell far short of the revenue, and he thonght it was high time that something was done to effect a remedy. There has never been a greater instance of boodling then in the construction of the steamer Hillsborough, commonly called the Boodler.

Mr. Aitken said he would liketo see a ferry established at Cardigan. The ferry there was required 25 years agu.

Hon. M. Sinclair aimitted that the ex- penditure on the Southport ferry was large, but he failed to see how it could b lessen- ed and do justice to the people. When the ferry was run by con:ractors it did not give satisfaction. The Summerside- Bedeque ferry carried only a small number and the cost of that ferry was also considerable. This ferry and the George- town ferry are sinking monev. A change

in the East and West River service has been made this year. The-e will never be justice in the country until the Hilleborough River is

bridged and it looks as if this would b> done soon. This service must be kept up, as the people insist that this should b: done. If the Dominion Government would build a bridge there it would pay the Local Goyernment to contribute a large sum to this work. There were six menibers of this House whose seats de- pence upen the accommodation furnished y the Southport Ferry.

Mr. Shaw took the hon. member from Springfield to task for his intimation that six members of this House held their seats on account of the money expended on the Southport ferry. He thought it was a strange admission to make.

Hon. Mr. McMillan pointed out that the Summerside-Bedeque ferry was cheaply conducted. Prince County had one-third the population of the Province and paid a fair share of taxes. The ferry there was required,

Mr. Campbell! thanked the hon. gentle- Yan for what he hai said regarding the Bedeque ferry. In regard to the Montague ferry he pointed out that it wae built b7 the Conservatives. He complained of the extravagant expenditure in conrection with the Southport ferry. ‘

Mr. Prowse pointed out that he was a member of the comm ttee waich investi- gated the expenditures on tbe Southport ferry, and he informed the House that the committee could not see where the money had been misapplied.

Mr. Speaker Cummiskey spoke — in defence of the Southport ferry, and. pointed

ee

been made there. He hoped the day was not far distant when there ‘would be a bridge built.

Hon. Mr. Gordon sail that the Opposi- tion were.always pleased to see good ferry accommodation provided at Southport bat he contended that too much money was expended on it. In this connection he referred to the admission of the hon. member from Springton that the seats of six members of this House dependea upon the manner in which the Southport ferry was conducted. He did ‘not think that ‘so long as the present party remained in power there was any chance of getting a steamer at Cardigan.

Mr. McKinnon spoke of the necessity of maintainivg the efficiency of the ferry service. He was favorable to making the Southport ferry free, as that would only be treating the people of tie South side fairly coosidering their lack of railway accommodation.

Hon. Mr. Gordon, ia reply to a question asked by the Leader of the Government, said that if he were a member of a Gov- ernment he would submit the question of asteamer forthe Cardigan ferry to the people, with a view to ascertaining if they could raise enough money to get a boat. If they did this he would be favorable to giving the company a small subsidy from the Government. But if the people could not do this he would not be favorable to the Government undertaking the expendi- ture until every cent of the public debt was paid. ;

Hon. Mr. Petera then asked the hon. member from Bedeque what he would do in respect to the Cardigan ferry.

Mr. Campbell said they could put steam ferries where they were required and give the people raore money for roads and

a vear less than it cost the country today. The Opposition were not against giving good ferry accommodation, but they were opposed to extravagance.

Mr. James E, Macdonald also replied to the .quection asked by the Premier regard- ing @ steamer for the Cardigan ferry. He said he would be prepared to give a com- pany providing such a steamer $1290. The service now cost $200, and the addi- tional cost would be small in comp3rison

|

expressed himeelfas being favorable to giving all the ferry accommodation req tired but he was oppose! to reckless and extra- vagant expenditures, The extraordinary expenditure on the Southport ferry, it had been admitted, was largely to keep mem- bers of the House in their seats.

Mr. Shaw charged the premier with attempting to turn t+ whole matter of the Cardigar ferry into a farce. Toe Opp osi- tion were prepare! t+ vive the people the fullest possible t+ rv asc amodation.

The item passed.

On the item of $6,000 for exhibitions, Mr. Shaw said it would be we | to consider if the benefis from exh:btions warranted this expeaditure. He was not going to vote against tue grant, but his personal opinion was that the money thus exp>nded could be much better nsed in ether direc- tions, Hethought that if the Government took this $6,000 and used it for procuring thoroughbred stoe¢k ant distributing them for sale among+t the people of the pro- vince it would be money well expended.

Hon. Mr. Peters agreed with Mr. Shaw that they might do betier if they pent the money they setapart for exhibitions in other directions. But so far as the import- ation of stock was concerned he thought private enterprise had already don? mach in that direction. Referring to cold storage, he pointed ont that this innovation and a steamer calling at this point woull be of more advantage to the people than exhibi- tions, ;

Mr. Shaw pointed out that there was very little stock or sheep imported here by private ente~prise.

Hon. Mr. Sinclair said it would be almost impossible to take away the grant of exhi- bitions withoygt injuring the country. He argued that t e farmers were getting more value ont of the Stock Farm than they ever got hefore.

Mr. Campbell said he was not wholly oppoted to exhibitions, but he was opposed to subsidizing companies over which the Government had no control, -The Leader had said that he would not grant money to any company in which anv member of the House was interested. But the Exhi. bition Association bas several repesentatives on the floor of the House.

Atthe evening session the item for ferries passed as also did several others.

On the item for salaries. Hon. Mr.Peters pointed out that the present administration bad madea reduction of $6000. The salries paid when hia Government came in amount ed to $36,000 and they had been reouced to $30,000.

Mr. Campbell pointed out that when the late Government came in they found that the total scalar es paid amounted to $54,000. and they had reduced them to $36,000 This was a teluction of $18,000 compaie! with that of $6000 “about which the premier boasted,

Whenthe Land Office item came up, Mr. Campbell expressed the opinion that the small saving derived from that depart- ment did net justify the Government in keeping itopen. He aeked the Leader of the Government tor ihe amount given away in discounts.

Mr. Shaw, taking up the matter of dis- counts pdinted out that during the paet three veara the amount given away in dis— counts wae enormous. They actually expended $95,000 to collect $79,000.. He also charged the Government with extrava- gance in copnection with the Smith estate, showing that $25 a day was given certain individuals for services rendered in conrection therewith. He expressed the opinion that the Land Office and that uf the Attorney Genera! should be amalga- mated, therehy effecting a saving of $1,200t
