Death Yesterday In Montreal Of Sir William Stavert.

MONTREAL, Dec. 30--Sir Wil- liam Stavert, 76, Canadian finan- cier and wartime accounting of- ficer to the British treasury, died at his home tonight.

The Prince Edward Island-born banker and industrialist was known internationally as a shrewd fin- ancial adviser and a: o. doctor of shaky business enterprises. His penetrating mind often had been called in by Governments of dif- ferent countries in fiscal investi- gallons.

Oue of his most important tasks was that oi financial adviser to the Quebec Liquor Commhsion, first. of its kind on the North Am- erican continent, in its early days between 1921 and 1924. He erect- ed the financial structure on which

that body now functions, and which has. served as a model for - other government-contrdled ven- tures into the liquor business.

Sir William was a member of the Royal Commission which probed wages _of Dominion Coal Company miners in Cape Breton in 102i. Recommendation by the Commisuon of increases for the workers and its rejection by the company prcludccl strikes in. the next two years.

He accomplished another impor- taut task as n ‘member of the R/iynl Commission appointed in 1932 to investigate and reorganize Newfoundland finances. The in- quiry resulted in recommendations forming the basis of the present form of commission government for the country.

For his service to thc Empire during the war. Sir tviiliaml was created a knight of the Order of the Britsh Empire. In 1915 he did war work in the interests of Can- adian prisoners in Germany and Dominion private soldiers in Lon- don on lcavc.

Once again it is my privi- lege lo extend to the peo- ple of this Province Greet- ings of Good-will and Hap- pmcss.

'l‘hc year that has drawn to a close has been marked by many changes of various kinds. At times it has seem- ed that the whole world has been upset and in a constant slate of turmoil and unrest, but with it all Canada, and Prince Edward Island in particular, has probably felt ihc disturbance less than any oihcr country, thus giv- ing us exceptional ground for profound thankfulness that our lot has been cast in this favoured land. A land of plenty ~21 land of free- dom und where I believe public opinion is desirous of promoting the spirit of the Christmas message "P e a c e on earth (flood-will toward men."
