The Debenture Bill Fur- ther $)13 13/21,

STRONG ARGUMENTS AGAINST THE MEASURE,

How the Public Works of the Pro-

vince are Looked After.

W eovespaY, June 6.

Houre met at 11.30. .

On motion of Mr. A. Peters a bill amending the Act for the advancement of justice was read a first time. Second reading tomorrow.

Mr. A. A. McLean asked the Commis- sioner of Public Works whether 4 petition from certain electors of Wood Islands East, praying for the opening of a new road between Ewen McMillan’s and Mrs. Henderson’s farms(from (Giray’s Road to Poet Road) was received by the Govern - ment, aud if so, what action (if any) is intended to be taken in respect thereof.

Hon. Mr. McLean said the matter would be investigated. If deemed in the public interest the road would be opened.

Hon. Mr. Forbes asked the Commis~ sioner of Public Works if a petition of certain electors of Caledonia and Middle- ton, coacerning a road to extend from the Couaty Line Road at the proposed ex- tension of the Glen William Road through Caledonia West to Middleton had been re- ceived, and what action is intended to be taken by the Government.

Hon. Mr. McLean said that such petie tion had been received and if it is desir- able in the interest‘of the public the road would be opened.

Mr. Camp'ell repeated several ques- tions asked by him some days before, ard the information was promised.

Ov motion of Hon. Mr. Richards the bill amending an act regarding fur-bearing avimals was read a third time and passed.

Qo motion of Hon. Mr, Farquharson the bill ameadiog the I[ocome Tax Act was read athird time aod passed. The clerk declared the division 13 to 13 and the Speaker gave his casting vote in favor of the bill

On motion of Hon. Mr. Rogers com- miitiee was resumed on the bill relating to the taxing of persona other than commer- cial travellers selling goods to consumers. Mr. McW'liiamsa took tbe chair, and the bill was reported agreed to with amend- ments. Third reading somorrow.

On motion of Hon. Mr. Farquharson the House went into committee oo the bil! providing for the construction of a wit g to the Asyium and for tbe construction of ceriain steel bridges and other permanent wotke, Mr. Forbes in the chair.

Fon. Mr Gordon thought that in view of our lamectable financial po ton the Leader of the Government sbpoull pause b fore p acing turden on the shoalters of oar people. The money now pa’d fo. interest on cur dett would gua loug wy tuwaras paving tor roads and other public works. Tne Leader te follow ing in the foctsteps of his Lrbersl pre- dec+ssors in iegard to ivcrearing the public debi.

Hov. Mr. Fa:qubarson said the issuing of »eventures for permanent works was a veceerity in @ progressive couatry. Per- mavent works were a necessity bere, and the Only way to get the money to meet the cost was to issue debentures. It woull have been better to have issued debeo- tures during the thirteen years of the previous administration than to have drawn the $200,000 from capital. He believed the people would endorse the action of the Goveranent in regard to this matter of debentures. This country isnot in the deplorable condition the Opposition say itis. There is no place under the sun where the debt is lesa than it is 1n this province.

At the afterncon session Hon. Mr. Far- qubarsoa submitted statements regarding Victoria bridge and some other matters asked for by Mr. Campbell.

Committee on the ssylum annex bill was theo reeumed.,

Hon. Mr. Farquharsor contiaurd his re- marke. He would like to know what the Opposition would do. Were they opposed to permanent public works? Are we going to weglect our public works? The province of NovaScotia recently issued $300,000 for steel bridges. The issuing of debentures would not add to the debt; they would increase the value of the assets. There would be good public worke to shoe for ihe expendiiure. The statute passed fast year for $26,000 was to be repealed and the $48,750 take its place.

Mr. Campbell said he noticed there was @ steel bridge here already. But only 100 feet of the 500 of this structure was permanent; the rest was perishable material, Tne public works of this province were never in a more deplorable conditica than they are to-day, Yet the Leader says they are looking after the public worke. Ifhe is not mistaken this is the third time of asking for debentures. Some time ago $75,000 was voted and eaten up. Last year they voted $26,000, but that, for reasons best knewn to themselves, they did not float. He thought that the object of issuisg debeo-~ tures now was not so much to build the asylum annex astorepair some of the bridges throughout the country that they had allowed to fall into decay. The pres- ent government had no mandate from the people to run the country isto debt. In

ago had Under all

the circumstances it was nO won ler the Opposition hesitated tu vote for these de- bentures now. Tbe Goveromept has lost the confidence of the country and have no right to vote away the money of the p ople. How does the Leader make out that the debt of the province 1s not beiag increased by issuing debentures? The Leader speaks of the debt of Ontario. But look at the resources she has? Also look at the resources of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. But what are the resources of P. E. Island? The whole burden

must falloa the back of the poor far.wer.

Mr. A. A. McLean failed to see how the igauing of debentures would improve the position of the country, as intim ited by the Leader. It is simply mortgaging the resourcesof the province todo as he is doing. Last year heclaimed that he could get money at 3 per cent, now he comes io and says he cannot get it under 34 percent. There is n0 sinking fund io existence today. All we have is $4000. the Premier is not dealing with the business ot the province as he would his own business. How is the Leader going to pay the $160,000 he owes the bank today? Where isthe difference between the cost ofthe asylum annex and the $48,750 asked for to be expended ?

Mr. A. Peters held that the building of the annex would be improving the assets of the country.

Mr. Shaw said the idea of Mr. Peters seemed to be that the greater the debt the greater the prosperity of the people. If we continue to add to the debt by de- bentures where are we going toend? We are Overburdened with debt at the present time. The Government last year pa‘d $19,000 for interest. In other words for every three doilars paid in by the farmere two wae paid out for interest. About $22,- 000 will be required next year. When the Hillsborouzh bridge is completed the entire land tax wil! not be sufficient to pay the interest. The Opposition are decided- ly opposed to the building of the annex in view of the commissioners rec »mmenda~ tion to build cottages. The coutract for the construction of the annex was let after the commissioners met. The Premier should have waited for their report before leting the contract He believed that these cottages could be dul out of the ordinsry revenue without adding to the debt cf tie pvovirc’. The so-called permanen britges svould not be classed as perma ient works as much of the ma- ter‘al is not permanent.

Mr James E Macdonald pointed out that the debt of the province was $550,- 000, and the interes: after nex: year would be $22,000. Spesking ofthe matter be- fore the House be said that nis idea is that the Government should gst an «xperts reports regarding steel bridges. This ex- pert ebould report oo all bridges costing from $20 u, wards ard also the number of stee! tridges that would be needed in the province. Taen they would kuow now much they would haveto expend. They Would also know a3 to the material for the approacte’. Taois was of the highest importance, ‘Toe road syetem is not giv- ing satirfaction. Toe road machines were idie Jas: spring when they should be at work. The main post roada should be let by the mile. It was certuioly high time for a chaoge iu the policy regarding tue keeping in order of the highways.

Hoo. Mr. Farquharson approved of Mr. Macdonald’s suggestion regarding sn expert, But he didu’t go far eoough. They already bad an exper.’s Opinio. as to ste i bridges and knew now where to build them. The building of such permanent works ae these was adding to the assets of the province.

Mr. McDonald said he did not approve of going ahead without on expert's opin- ion. They should koow all about the cost and where the money Yas iO come from betore proceeding with the work.

Mr. DesRoche did not think it advia- able to go shead with steel bridges in tne face of the present large debt of the prov» ince. But the asylum annex might be necseary. ‘The whole burden of the tax~ a ion will fall on the farmers. The high- ways aod roads should be attended to be- fore proceeding with steel bridges. The round machines were comparatively uselees and a great bill of expense. The quicker thev were done away with the beter for the finances of the province. In his dis- trict this year the road machines cost the Goveroment $80. Prince County is grose- lv neglected in the matter of public works, Ths roade were in a bad y cilap d ited con- dition. Net half enough money was voted to keep the highways iu proper re- pair. There is adebt of $600,00C hanging over the farmers of the province. They will never be able to pay the interest oa the debt un'ess a halt is called.

Hon. J. R. McLean was favorable to the measure before the House. He approved ot the building of permaoent works, and spoke well of ths work done by the road machines.

Mr. J. A. Macdonald spoke of the bad state of the roads up west. He thought it was high time a change for the better was made.

Mr. Birch did not “approve of mortgag-~ ing =the Island for the purpose of building so-called permanent works. The Govern- ment can give $6000 for an exhibition in Charlottetown,but we cannot get $500 for au exhibition in Prince County or King’s County. The roads up west wereina bad way. The bridge at Little Tignish is in asbad state. The supervisor says this

would a good place for a_ ateel bridge. Mr John Kickham pointed out that the

Commissioner of Public Works represent- ed the Souris. district as well as he (Mr Kickham) did, and it was therefore not his intention to say very much on this matter, as the electors would hold the Commissioner responsible. But when the Commissioner of Public Works says thet the roads are good he could not refrain from contradicting the statemeat, As a

matter of fact the roads are anything but good. The road machine had been worked on tte Rollo Bay road. He (Mr Kick- ham) happened to pass over that road on Sunday least and never found it worse. The holes were not filled ae they ehould Lave been before the machine was worked. All ruts should be filled before the machine goes on. The money granted for roads should oot be paid excepting for work put up to public competition. He knew supervisors to tra el half a mile to get a favorite todoa job and give him whatever he asked for doing it. When these favorites geta job they do jast what pleases them and the work is never finished as itebould be. There is the eld wharf at Souris West known es Queen’s wharf. He asked the rebuild thie wharf but they refused to do anything with it. Thereie alson bridge known as Leelie’e bridge that is a scandal to any Government, but nothing was done to it. Underall the circumstances he could not see his way clear to vote for issuing any more debentures,

At theevening session Mr. Farqubar- gon tabled a etatement regarding Scott Act fines asked for by Mr. McKinno:.

Mr. Campbell then resumed the debate on the debentures for the asylum aunex, etc. He wae followed by Messrs A A Mc- Lean, McLaughlin, Shaw, end J R Me- Lean, the latter moving the adjournment of the debate.

Mesers Campbel!,A. A. McLean and Shaw devoted themeelves mainly to the Public Works Department, severely criticising the manner in which that arm of the public service was conducted and charging that it was a great sink of corruptioa and that through that medium thousands of dollars of the public morey had been squandered during t»e years that have elapsed since the present administration attained power.
