Road Paving And Repairingjlans

Despite the hard winter lion. Dougald Macxinnon. Minister of Highways, states that present in- dications are that the cost of re- pairing roads will probably be only half that of last year.

secretary's Report

In his report. Major V. N. Hodg- son. executive secretary, stated: "During the survey year. April to December, the M.X.U. found 12 new active cases of TB. This re- presents a continuation of the dc- cline in the rate of cases found per 1000 X-rayed.

"From 8th December until the present the X-ray apparatus has been set up in the City Hospital to provide hospital admission X- rsy service. It has also been open to the public during the some hours. and available for referral )(-rays to the city doctors. The total numbers X-rayed were small and few valuable conclusions can be drawn.

"Of significant, as well as inter- est. la the trend over the past ten years of the number of known active TB cases and the ratio to the mortality rate. The number of known cases has shown a fair-

worlds."

There were many businesses and American newspapers. such as the New York Times. the New York Herald Tribune. the Daily Mirror. the Wall Street Journal and the Journal of Commerce which carried "laudatory editor- ials and comments."

The New York Daily Mirror whimsically suggested that three American cabinet ministers be traded for Finance Minister Ab- bolt.

Mr. Sinclair said the only way to reduce the debt. piled up lnrgr-- ly as a result of the last war. was to follow the policies set ollt by Mr. Abbott. Since the end of the war Canada had reduced by 52.300.000.000 the principal of its debt and 362,000,000 a year off the interest.

"We have actually paid a total cost of the first 3 N2 years of the last war." he said.

Medical Expenses

Referring to Mr. Knowles! mo- tion on medical expenses. Mr. Sinclair said the motion called only for consideration of removal of the four-per-cent floor. The government had considered the motion and instead of removing the floor. it had decided to lift the ceiling on the amounts fax- pnycrs can deduct in medical ex- pcnsrs.

The budget has reduced excise taxes on a lengthy list of luxury and semi-luxury goods. Solon' Low, Social Credit lender. hnti stated that the government was relying more and more on hidden taxes.

Mr. Sinclair snlrl Ihnt in 1935 when the Liberals took over from A Conservative Government only 23 per cent of government rev- enue came from direct taxes. in 1951. more tilnn 61) per cent of

the revenue come from IIIl'('L'I taxes.

Mr. I-Ilcmlng said the intoler- nblo load of tnxnilon heing enr-

ricd by the Cnnndinn people had focused attention on this hudgot. Opinion was that. "if possible this budget is worse than Inst your. The people hnvo lost confidence in the budgeting of the present government.

The 195 budget was the "worst in Canndl n history at that time." It had overlaxed the people as never before in the history of Canada. It was manifested in "downright hardship. restriction of enterprise and even smug- gling."

And now when the mask of the 1952-53 budget had been ripped sway. the people found they were to be subjected to even heavier taxation.

Mr. Fleming said when Mr. Ah- boit budgeted for a 330,000,000 surplus in 1951-52 there was no talk of debt reduction. That "tune" began as the surplus grew out of proportion. But now the tuna had changed again. Mr. Ah- bott was now budgeting for a

more seooo.ooo surplus-in effect I balanced budget-and there was no more talk of the benefits of debt reduction. .

llueries Minister lie Steel Supply For Federal Bldg.

0'1'I'AWA. April 21 -(Special)- After a. skirmish with Mr. speaker on the propriety of the question. W. Chester 5. McLure. Progressive Conservative member for Queen's this afternoon got a query on the record about steel for the proposed Federal building in Charlottetown

Sneaker Ross MacDonald inter- rupted the Prince Edward Island member when he was about to quote a Canadian Press deypatcn on a large steel-frame building in Vancouvc r. It was not good par- liamentary practice. Mr. Speaker. said to permit quotations from newspapers in emergency quest- ions in the House. Mr. McLure finally got his question in which was:

"Will the contractors for an 10-

Siofell steel frame building in Vnncouver. planned to cost 35.500,- 000 use Canadian steel in its con- struction? if so would that not be a good opportunity to secure suf- ficient steei at the same time for the Dominion Public Building at Charlottetown 7'' . In reply. Works Minister Penm- ier said he was certain that Ms. McLure had a serious question to put since he had not asked any for three weeks. He said he knew nothing of an 18-storey building in Vaucouver. The "building to which Mr. McLure referred was presum- ably being built by private enter. prise not by the Federal Govern- mcnt.

"I am not quite sure of the apecltoications of the building at Charlottetown." Mr. Fournier con- tinued. "because the plans have not yet been completed."

Mr. McLure asked the question on account of the large amount of construction going on in various Canadian cities in which structur- al steel is being used. He feels that the Federal Government it- self in Ottawa is one of the largest users of structural steel for its own office buildings in the capital citv. Most recent of these Ottawa office buildings. he said. was that for headquarters of the central Iltdorlgnge and Housing Oorpornt. on.

Expansion Program

"We are endeavouring to ex- pand our activities this year by undertaking three new phases of work-

tal the keeping of records of the X-raying of all school teach- ers. -The Public Health Act re- quires that they be X-rayed every second year.' The clerical work in- volved iu the follow-up has been beyond the means of the Depart- ment of Educati and there have been a few active cases of TB found among teachers. To ensure that teachers are X-rayed we have un- dertaken to keep the records and ensure the follow-up.

"Rehabilitation of the TB pati- ents is not. a direct responsliiliziy in this Province of the League.
