But the Government carried on, and their record showed that they were more economi l than their Liberal predecessors. It showed also the insdvisability of the elec- tors returning the Opposition mem- bers to power. ~

TENDERS PROPERLY AWARDED The Opposition had criticized the tributi of tenders by the Conservatives. Yeo‘s Bridge. Har- mony. had been mentioned as one job on which the lowest tender was not. recognized. This, Mr. Arsenault said, was incorrect. Ai- though James Diamond tendered for $1.90 per cubic yard, he ac- cepted contract at $1.95, or the same figure that the lowest ten- derer had quoted. as shown on page 58 of the Public Accounts. Mr. T. A. Campbell: "The sec- 0nd chance."

Hon. Mr. Arsenault: “It has been the policy, as explained by the Miri- lster of Public Works, that when a man tenders at the right, price, if he happens to live in the comniun- ity he should get the preference. and that has been the system car- ried 0n by this Department." (Ap- plause). Reference had also been made, he said, the Sharbeiis" have received more than they were en- titled to. This criticism, ho show- ed, was, not in accord with the facts. An analysis of the Accounts shows that last year the Minister gave every deserving person, whe- ther Llberal or Conservative, a chance to make a few dollars.

He wished to thank the Minister for the assistance given, to fisher- men in his own district in the dis- tribution of public works, Mr. Arsenault continued. The project is a part of the Western Road. where Rfavel must be hauled a long distance by auto truck, and B8 only a. few auto trucks are owned by the residents of that locality, some men received a few hundred dollars, but the cost per ton of delivering the Zravel was very reasonable.‘ ‘ '

. A LIBERAL IIERITAGE

Continuing the debate on Friday mWBII-ll. Mr- Arsenault dealt with the Opposition argument alleging a mistake had" been made in tho borrowing 101' the purpose of pay- ing off the Lea Government overs draft. He reviewed" the financial condition facing the Stewart Gov- ernment when it took office. On Aug. 12, 1927, the External Audit showed a balance due the bank of 3351.000 011d 0i’ $358,000 due on IBM 10mm. or a total. due bank and loans, of $009,916. On August 39. 1931. when the Iea Govern- ment went out of office, the External Audit showed an over- draft of 81.041241 and $884,411 due loans, or s total bank overdraft and loans of $l,425,Gbl_ By the "it! 0f 1901. after all Liberal bills were paid, there was due $1,950,592

But that, Mr. Arsauault showed, was not all. Of the bond issues made by the Liberals in 1931, $135,- 000 had been issued by the pres- ent Opposition lesder at 0 per cent. and it cost all-a loan taken when financing was much easier than in 1932. The debentures is- sued at that time were for ten years, and at their maturity the Stewart Government had to pay $77,510. This, added to bank loans and overdraft. made a total of $1,736,592, which was the amount of Liberal liability facing this Gov- ernment when it assumed power. Accordingly, they issued bonds. first for $150,000, then for $350,000, and subsequently for $1,000,030. Even after these issues, there were still owing to the bank and loans, the sum of $336,592.

Mr. Lea: "You didn't pay the loans off."

Hon. Mr. Arsensult: “The lisbil- ity was there. The leader of the Opposition knows it is not good policy t0 have loans of $300,000 with such a large overdraft at the bnak. If those are call loans we must increase our overdraft to pay the depositors"

' Mr. lea: "In this case you didn't have to pay the loans."

Hon. Mr. Arsenauit: “Here was an amount facing us of $1,736,000, and not funded_ And besides that, we had those disastrous fires at Faiconwcod Hospital and Prince of Wales College. The result was that we had to go on the bond market when conditlonswere in bad shape. The leader of the Opposition says we didn't have to sell bonds at that time; but where could we have gotten the money?”

Mr. Lea: "I didn't say you didn't have to sell bonds; I said you didn't have ‘to sell so many."

Hon. Mr. Arscnauit: "My hon. ‘friend says it is quite true that in 1921 he went on the market for $125,000 bonds at 6 per cent, but he says he was careful, he issued only a small amount. and it was ail right, he argues. to do that. He was not sure about his own financ- ing; he would only do it little by little. The late Mr. Bell was a bet- ter financier than that, None of the Opposition have ever been able to take his place, so far as financing is concerned."

In four years. continued Mr. Arscnauit, the Liberals increased the liabilities by $1,117,000. ‘Most of this went for road machinery and imported gravel. “What per- manent structures,‘ ‘he ‘ asked, "have they left behind them to ac- count for that. huge debt that future generations will curse the ex-Minister of Public Works for 110111118 foisted on them-

THE PRODIG AL S

Dealing with the Conservative problem of having to finance the Lea. Government's accumulated debt, Mr. Arsenauit cited the case of a. farmer who is faced with a large amount of debt incurred by his son's extravagance. The farmer has to mortgage his farm, and the prodigal son, instead og being grate- ful. turns upon his father and says:

Mr. Lea: "We will kill the fatted calf next summer."

Hon. Mr. Arsenault: “The (atted calf? We had that 1m night." (Laughter).

STIR-HUNG COMPARISON

- Continuing. he showed that the Liberals had had a total capital ex- Pmdllllre 0! $791843. this amount b01118 mostly made up o; gravel and road machinery purchases. The Conservatives‘ total expendlturg on will! Icwunt was $1,399,396 u. their three year period; and this included the rebuild!“ work n Prince of Wales College and Falcon- wood Hospital. ‘

“My hon. friends claim," said Mr. Arsenault, that we should not rote;- to the year 1931, because it was an election year. Let me go back to the year 1927. That was also an election year. When the Stewart Government went to the country on that occasion there was an increase in liability of $159,000. This as com- pared with the increased liability of $544300 In the last eight mouths of my hon. friends opposite!" (Ap- plause). Why should we not oom- Dare the two years and show the difference? Is it any wonder that the difference was so great, with the Liberal Public Works Minister buying road machinery by the hand. red-thousand dollars‘ worth, and or- derlng $300,000 of gravel at $2.77 a ton?" (Applause).

“Out of his own mouth the ex- Minister admitted he had lost con- trol of his department. That was in 1930. And If he had loot control before the election year, what con- trol did he have during the election year?" (Applause).

Tho Liberal Minister, Mr. Arsen- auit continued, had seen the middle western provinces spending without economy. and he thought that he should do likewise,

Charging that partisanship had been evident during the 1931 cam- paign, Mr. Arsenault said a previous speaker had well stated that it was not difficult at that time to desig- nate a man's politics. The Conserva- tives were on their farms, working, while the Liberals were on the roads, ioafing." (Applause),

FALCONWOOD PLANS

p The Opposition member iind crit- icised at some length the architect's fees in connection with Falconwood Hospital. Mr. Arsenault pointed out that these fees are fixed at the same amount all over Canada. and it had been shown during the debate that the sum of ‘$30,000 had been paid by the trustees for plans of the new Prince Edward Island hospital —a building which did not cost over $300,000. "Are my hon, friends go- ing to castigate the trustees of the hospital, who are known to be able business men, and say that they did not know the value of money?"

Mr. Lea: "They must have paid more than six per cent at that rate."

Hon. Mr. Arsenauit: "They revised the plans several times. The ex- Minlster of Public Works admitted last night that he knew very little about the plane. the clerk's room. No man could study and make an accurate statement of them after such little examination as my hon. friend gave to the plans, and few men would attempt it; yet the Opposition member came here and made the statement that those plans were not used. after the, Premier had made the statement that they were used in part, and will be used again. The plans are there. and as soon as we can do so. something further must be provided for the care of our insane people. “It is known that more patients at that institution could be cured if; the proper facilities were uailable, and it is surely the duty 0f this Gov- ernment to do what it can to restore these people to their mental health.- When we are able to go ahead. I‘ am sure that something oro wilii be done in that onnection. Then we will ask the ex-Minisier and the‘ leader of the Opposition to come back and visit the hospital and see, what is being done, and perhaps they also will be cured of making, illogical and inaccurate statements." (Applause). l

As for the expenditure involved‘ in the architect's plans. I think that futur; generations in this Province would gladly have paid that amount to the elf-Minister of Public Works to send him away somewhere w live on his money and keep him away from the Department of Public Works. Ilad my hon. friends taken that precaution when in power, they would have saved that $1,177,000 that they went behind, and the pro- vince would be that much better off.“ (Applause).

ROAD WORK CONTRASTED

Resuming the debate on Monday afternoon, Mr. Arsenault gave a striking comparison of expendi- tures in the Provincial Works De- partment under both administra- tions, taking the years 1930 and 1994, as the two last complete years of both Governments.

The Liberals, with heavy power machines, machined 320 miles of mad in that year, as against 521 miles done in 1934 by the Conser-

vatlvcs.

0,904 miles of road were scraped byhorsepowerdrasflin 1930.06 against 0,728 in 1934.

I miles of med were gravelled in 1900, as against 99 1-2 miles last

"What," asked Ir. Aracnsult. "was tho Miniiefl attitude about our Island gravel. Ills mm slate- monfl an contradictory. but .we look for his alttitudo in the report of the at of Public Works that year, which is the authen-

They are now in_

statanent:

"The abundance of gravel led to its use in many Provinces and was found to give a very satis- factory road. The scarcity of that material in this Province delayed its use for some years until the demand for a better road sur- face compelled the department to gravel at least the approaches to the towns and those weaker sections of the road where traffic demanded it. At the end of 1930 there had been surfaced with this material in all 140 miles. It has been found, however, that this material has to be renewed every four years and while making a. satisfactory surface the nuisance from dust is considerable. Al- ready the use of asphalt and concrete had been demonstrated as suitable for the streets and roads carrying heavy traffic, but its high cost from $20,000 to $40,- 000 a mile seemed to piaoe it out; of reach of even the main roads of the Province.

“The problem of obtaining a cheapened road surface has been engaging the attention of road builders in all countries. . . Con- siderabie study was given to this by the Department; officials and the Deputy Minister was sent to Memphis.” . . . It is planned to continue the work into Char- lottetown if in the spring it is shown that this type of pave- ment is capable of withstand- ing our winter conditions. and it is believed that slch a pave- ment could be laid down at a
