An anti-lynching bill is before the Senate it Washington, and, according to the New York 'l‘in1cs. "only about half a dozen Senators are sincere convinced advocates" of it, leavmf-l “ninety who are bitterly opposed to it." Add lterc are some of the reasons given for oppost- tion: “It is a nustake to extend Federal pou-‘cr at a time when decentralization impresses them as the best possible New Deal. Still others con- sider it bad public policy to impose Washing- ton power on a whole section of country against its bitter opposition. And’ there are some Sen- ators, including Republicans and one or two dts- affected Northern Dcmocratsmvhose decision to vote for the nteasttre was made partly because tht-v think its submission for signature will politically embarrass the President."

REPLY T0 MAYOR TURNER

Sir,-l\Iayor Turner tu his let,_ tcr 1'11 your yesterday's issue 518105; "Deficits on ordinary account, done, have during the life of sev- zral previous Councils, run from $15,000 to $110,000 " '

This statement. is wholly and ab- solutely untrue. I am amazed that. attyone professing to have the least acquaintance with figures should permit himself to be so far astray as to publish so absurd and fallaclotts a statement. In not. one of the four years mimedtately preceding Mayor Turner and 11L; nssaemtcs‘ advent to offige was the net debt of the city, including ordinary expenditure. tmempcyt- 111cm. relief, permanent works, in-

creased to scarcely more than half the sum he tnettttorts.

In 1932 the net debt. was ln- creased by 3451514154. In I938 the increase was su2."12"1.a1. In 1934 the Increase was $60,774.03. and in 1935 the increase was $40.595.I0_ The increzces in all those four years covered all expenditures. ordinary, uttt-ntytluytnztn reli~f and prrtttatt- ent works. There were no tail ends.

He goes on to state there is nothing to show for the errwrnrlt- Lure of these years. In 11nd two payed roads going and commg in ditferent directions to and from the T B. Sanntorium were made

Sydney Street west from Great George Street was paved. The Brighton Read pavement was ex-

tended. A large part of Bayfield Street wa. paved. and Elm Avenue along its whole length was re- paved.

The paving of the streets I have mentioned was the best work ever done here. I venture to predict they will keep Rood without re- qufrtttg repairing for the tiext fifty years. I have not at hand the particulars of paving done in Nfay- or Kcmtedy-‘s time.

The ten thousand dollars pro- cured from the Dominion Govern- ment for fixing up Govermnent; Pord was wasted in foilerols. The nutsance in the Pond is the ac- cumulation of dlrt_ front sources leading into ‘tt. If the money‘ granted had been IInCCl to lay a pipe line down to t-airy the dirt out to sea. the whole difficulty would have been solved.

The severity of the trade depres- sinn was at; its height during the four years I have mentioned. In the last two years business be- came good all over Catt-ado. U11- employment relief shottld have been cut. out here. as it has been in Summerslde and several other cen- tres in Canada, but that was too much to expect from flabby" weak- ness. Everywhere else in Canada the amount required has recently been reduced. Here It has been i11- creased The Mayor admits that durinL his regime the net. debt of the city has been increased by $266396. a disgraceful admission which proves lncompetcncy and mi-managctncnt to a high degree.

MAYOR TURNEWS REPLY TO JUDGE STEWART

3i1‘.—It ls not. my intention to

enter into a verbal duel with Judge Stewart. but I must thank him for a very convincmg vin-

dication of my position for tt is now lzenerally accepted tltat any- thing the Judge opposes must pos- sess considerable merit. .

He says that the statement tnade In my letter "deficits on ordinary accounts alone, have during t-hc life of several previous Cotmclls ran from $85,000 to $110000" 1s wholly and absolutely untrue. Then he proceeds to eustizatc me In the manner which made him such an ideal presiding officer during his term as Mayor. A term that will ever be remembered for lts decorum and dignity‘. its splendid spirit of harmony and cc.- operatton, and fine ndherancc to gentlemanly discussion.

I-Ie finally concludes his tirade by advising me to “keep close to the City Clerk, who understands figuring and accounts". This I shall do. In the City year book of I933 which was of course prepared by our esteemed City Clerk is to be found the following attached to the statemcxtt on Ordinary Ac- count.

of Carmela. Dec. 31, I933 118414.67 This by a curious coincidence

happens to be the two years dur-

lng which the Judge attempted to

oreslde over the City Council as ayor.

I merely quote this m substan- tiate my statement, and not with any expectation of recelvhtg any acknowledgment. from the lenrn- ed Judge that. he was in error. No man who attempts to destroy the Rreat tradition which is ours. and repudtate our claim for recogni- tion as the Birthplace of the Do- mlnlon of Canada can be regard- ed as a citizen who has the best. Interest of his city at ltcart. and consequently nothing of a enn- structtve nature. or an adntlssion of error can be expected.

CITY TAXATION

Bin-In your business men's tn- tervlew you sa_ some were for 1n- crcnsed taxes Wipe out deficits. From whom are we to get those taxes, and where is the money to come from b0 pay them?

Safely I say never. Look at 1919 when the country was overrun with politicians denouncing the appall- mg tax buxdetksg of that day, and promising by economy, and tuost solemnly without further taxation, no balance the budget, and have a neat $125000. surplus to’ the good. Then, when they got Into power , the first thing was to dottble up whole taxes 01f the Province,‘ and also to double or jack up their own salaries and lndenmttits, and yet trot out as usual the unbalanc- ed budget and inevitable deficit. ' We have 111 memory another Council asplzattt. boldly com out against cltv debt and city axn- tlon. and cit-y deficit. and promis- ing to pttt an end to all.
