“We have notified Guelph that we will give Island boys about $2,- 000 a year on condition that they remain two years in P.E.I." con- tinued the Premier. "I hope that some of the Island boys who are graduating them will return to the Province and work here. I believe thwe are three Islanders graduat- ing this year."

increased so per cont over amount paid last year. '

Municipalities’ obligation to pay the Province any portion of the poll tax'es part of‘ the highways tax will be discontinued. Legisla- tion would be introduced to amend the Higways Act accordingly. the Minister said. -

_ These mcas we will involve 0500.000 in cash payments to local governments, an increase of 0188.- 000 over last year's figure. _ The present proposals relieve rural municipalities of payments in excess of 805.000, bringing the benefits lo $674,403. .. Value of adjustments in tbs highways tax bring "total benefits this year to $184,000.

Mr. Patterson concluded: ‘These additional measures together with the earlier assistance will be of great aid to city, town and mun- icipal governments and should place these governments in a pos- ition to give adequate services to their citizens and to finance the responsibilities they are called upon to assume."

“development of coastal trade with Newfoundland" and boats with refrigeration fpciliiies to carry chilled meats, dairy and other perishable products.

Speaking on freight rates, Mr. H. A. Profitt, Freetown. past presi- dent of the Federation, asked that an investigation of the whole freight-rate structure 'be made. 1n reply, the Premier pointed out that the freight-rats structure had been gone into at great. ex- pense to lite Province and that a Royal Commission was presently investigating the matter further. Regarding efforts to extend New- foundland trade, Premier Jones said the Government had done more in that direction than he was willing to state at the moment.

Rural Electrification

the

The brief reads: “There is an insistent demand from the rural areas. for an extension of electrical services. We respectfully draw your attention to the resolution passed last month at a largely at- tended meeting of the Federation asking that the government clarify its position on this problem. There is consldc rablfl concern in the minds of the people, and they are demanding a definite statement on future policy."

Mr. Gordon MacMillan, - Cornwall, vice-president of the Federation. in support pointed out that the coat of farm labour was at apremlum and that electrification would alleviate the farmers’ lot. I-Ie referred to past surveys and resolutions over a period of yes-rs, including a. pamphlet issued some years ago eta-ting that it would require $8,000,000 for the govern- ment to buy out the private com- panies. . ,

Mr. MacMillan stated that sub- sidizing in Neva Scotis. had hell» ed to extend rural electrification there. He swgested that some specific individual should be ap- pointed by the government to co- ordinate all parties so that an im- mediate start could be made on solving this problem.

‘Ihe Premier in reply felt that there ‘was no need of subsidizing more lines at present, because the power is not available. "They have all they can do to bring the exist- ing lines w to stenda-rdlst pre- sent." he said. "I notice you did not recommend that the Govern- ment take over the lines. At the present time _the Board of Public Utilities is conducting an inquiry into the general rate structure on which the Maritime Electric Com- pany is operating. When that is known, then we can tell whsflier the rates are too high or too low. "We are _going_ ahead with electricity in as rapid a

as can be done, in my opinion." the Premier ssid. On the Western Road we are extending the service so that they csnobtsin electricity off the main line. In other parts of the country we will extend as far es we think feasible. But what is the use of subsidizing rural lines when you hays not got the generating power?"

VGIGIICTIIV!»

In reply to the requebt for equsble veterinary service for all

was made to the low grads of farm products on t-he domestic Island market and called for domestic grading.

Supporting this clause. lida-Jlvnac- Leod, mag River, said that people were complaining they could not get decent potatoes in the city mar- ket.

"What we are exporting is first class stuff," he said, “but we are retaining stuff st home that is a disgrace. The seam applies to beef. There are probably many persons lnthis chamber today wlho never ate first-class beef."

I-le maintained that there should be grading regulations for beef as well as for hogs.

In ths latter connection, he com- mended the work done in grading but said the producers were not getting a. premium, to which they were entitled on a basis of quality. The local plant. he nlaintained, was "dragging farther behind" in this respect than other plants.

Lllld Uflllllllon Policy

To ths request that the Provinc- ial government seek Dominion as- sistance in procuring heavy mach- inery ior drainage and st/usnping

parts of the province, _er

proposes, the Premier stated that thg Minister of Agriculture in 0t- tawo. had assured him that, when this Province had worked out a policy, it would receive a share of tlhe "malrshlanda reclsmations" grant. -

"Poflto Fund"

The brief rcccnnnnended that a seven-roan Board be set up to ad- minister the Potato Fund created by a voluntary levy 0d 1 cent per 100 lbs of potatoes.

lilllr. Ill). Reid, secretary of the Federation and manager of the P. E1. Potato Growers‘ Association, stated that the growers wanted a voice in framing a. constructive pol- icy for eliminating diseases affect- ing Island potatoes.

lldr. Reid stated that the fund this year unounted to some $45.- 000, and suggested that $25.00 should be spent on soil fumigation in certain areas.

Income ‘has

Requesting the Provincial gov- ernment's support in the Federat- ion nwve for Income ‘Pox modi- fications, the bried suggested theta qualified man be appointed at the regional office as a consultant for tho isomers.

Automobile Insurance

"Don't believe this talk about cheap automobile insurance in Saskatchewan. It's not true," de- clared the Premier to the briefs re- quest fpr some form of compulsory automobile insurance.

"I'll challenge anyone to deny that," continued the Premier smil-

ing.

"I'll accept that challenge," answered Mr. lidlurdoci: MacLeod. Long River. (Laughter).

I-Ion. Fred Large, Attorney-Gen- eral explained that a fund has been created from a dollar on each lic- ence. Disbursements are made to persons who cannot collect from Suprbme Court rulings.

lash-yin:

"I notice you didn't say you want an act against margarine,” said the Premier in reply to the Dairy- in; clause.

Mr. krl Inga. in support of the brief stated later that he had seen the proposed government legislat- ion on this subject, alpproved of it and didn't see any need for further dlscmslon.

“We won't need to pass any legislation now, will we?" asked the Premier. "It must be illegal in Canada now until the ruling of the Privy Council," he added.

Mir. Smith Macllfarlnne, Bracitlev. supported the request that. fluid null: producers be paid on govern- ment test, if 80 per cent of the producers in a district asked for it, Later. the Minister of Agriculture, pointed out-that all other dairy producers would seek the same government service. which would call for an increased staff. ‘

The brief adaed the government to bring in legislation to increase their assessments from 01,200 maxi- mlnn to $6.000 maxirman for pro- motion of the industry.

The government was urged to mabe credit available to cheese factories st cost. for the 90 day period before which no cheese may be sold. Cllpl. JJ. MacDonald. Glenfinnsn, asked that the cold storage problem be thoroughly in- vestigstad, I-Is aded for s curing- rccm for cheese and suggested that a ‘Irade Commissioner should be in Newfoundland new selling Is- land cheese.

‘The Premier felt that banks should be able to let cheese factor-

ies have money at less than the six per cent mentioned in the brief.

Cfldshruv

Commanding thb government for providing cold storage for acme 10044. the brief recommended that 72.000 cubic feet of mace be pscvid‘ ed for poultry meat products. More space for cheese and butter storage was also reqlested. ‘ Jme Premier stated that he es- timated 72.000 cubic feet of cold storage would cost 8150.000. He ap- preciated the need and referred to the storage already provided.

Reforestation

The brief called for s. provincial forester and demonstration pro- jects on land unsuited to tillage.

The Government was commended on its agricultural educational pol- icy, support of the Junior Farmers’ movement, and extension of Public Health services.

I-lon. Mr. Stewart in reply touch- ed on all the points raised. He pointed out that a number of in- dividusl firms were providing their own cold storage plants.

Under of the Ollhliticn

Iin contplimenting the Federation members on their presentation, Hon. Dr. WJJ’. Maclidilian said that so far as the Opposition was concerned, they would support any move the Government makes to solve agricultural problems.

He noted that assistance in stumping and draining ditches had been requested. "This House," he added, “voted $5.000 for that pur- pose last year, but not any of that money was spent." _

He also noted that last year a total of over 8901130 1N5 W“ 99¢" pended in the Department of- Atri- oulture, than was voted by the Leg‘ islature. The Opposition would en- deavor to prod the Government into realizing the irzvpcrtsnce of eX. penditures in this important de- partment.

Other directors of the Federat- ion present were Col. F. I. Andrew. East Royalty; J. L. Dewar. New Perth; Ralph Raynor. M!- Herbert: Alex Hnmilinn. New Perth; and Edison Rayner, Clenmont.

Hon. Mr; Iiiathescn agreed that Murray Harbour had one of the finest rinks in the Province. They were not able to open until about the iddle of- ' y. which made their victory in the intermediate game all the mors noteworthy.
