Provincial Legislature.

House of Assembly.

APRIL 13. RYENING SESSION,

House met at 8.10. Mr. Shaw, pursuant to notice placed upon the order book, moved the following resolution : @Resolved, That an humble address be pre- sented to his Honor the Lieutenant Governor praying that a statement be laid on the table of the House of Assembly showing in detail the names of all parties who have paid their accounts Sin full in the Land Uffice during the financial year 1391, showing balance due by each at time of settlement, the amount paid by each to square his account during the year 1891, and date of last pre vious payment, the discount allowed each by virtue of the statute 65 Vic., cap. 2, and amount of reduction in each Jaccount by com- pound interest, separately if any, and any — reduction that may have been made ; an Also, A statement showing what amount, if any, has been paid to Roderick Steele and Pius Flanigan respectively for inspection on Cardigan Ferry docks, and also what amount per day has been paid to Mr. Donald Stewart and Mr. Donald Sigsworth respectively, and the number of days that the said Donald Stewart and Donald Sigsworth were actually engaged in inspecting the said Cardigan Ferry docks, and also the amounts paid to the said Donald Sigsworth and Donald Stewart respectively for services rendered as inspect- ors of said docks ; and Also, a detailed statement showing the several items of expenditure contained in the sum of $1290.66 as shown in the Public Works report of 1891] and charged to roads in Queen’s, Prince and King’s counties, and in inquisitions on new roads not shown by report of C. P. Works to have heen spent by the supervisors; the items by public com petition or private contract, the nature of the works done, the different loc-lities in which the work has been done, the names of the several persons to whom the several contracts were given and the amount received by each person respectively, and the authority by which each contract was let, and the date of each payment made; and

Also a statement showing the names of workmen employed since 24th April, 1891, to date on the Southport Wharf and slips, Charlottetown Ferry Wharf andslips and wharf end slips at Rocky Point, the num- ber of days of work for each man and the wages paid each per day or otherwise, and what part or parte of these works were let by public tender and private contracts re- spectively; Also the amounts paid for the inspection of said works respectively; and Also, a statement showing all payments made on account of the public service from 3lst December, 1891, up to this date (April 6th) such statement to show what part ot this amount was due up to and in- cluding the 3lst December, 1891, and also what amounts are due or owing by the sev- eral departments of the public service up co the 6th April, 1892. Mr. Shaw supported the resolution in a vigorous speech. He regretted exceedingly that it had been found necessary to table such a resolution as the oue he submitted to-night. But it was absolutely necessary to take this constitutional action in order to get certain information which the mem bers of the House needed in order to intel- ligently discuss the financial affsirs of the country when the budget was brought down. The Opposition tried to get this in- formation by pursuing the usual course of putting notices on the order book, but the attempt was a failure. We got little or po satisfaction. When we asked for informa- tion we were plainly told that we had no right to speak, and were treated generally in a very discourteous manner. The Lvad- er of the Government took a prominent part in refusing the Oppvsition the infor- mation they asked for, ani in calling the Leader of the Opposition to order How differently did the late Government act with the Opposition of their day. They always treated their opponents with the greatest courtesy, and any information asked for was cheerfully aud promptly brought down. But note the change now ‘The present Leader of the Government has constitured himself dictator-generai, the others must bend to his stubborn will and oyverweening vanity. He appeared to be strongly im- bued with the spirit of Lows XLV ot France, whose favurite expre-siun Was **the people, that is me!” To parapbrase the words of the poet,—

Old times are changed, old manners gone, A despot fills the leader’s throne.

Mr. Shaw then proceeded to point out that although the Public Accounts had been out of the printer’s hands and ready for distri- bution before the House met, they had not been tabled until the session was well ad- vanced, and until after the Opposition had repeatedly asked for them, How iaconsis- tent is the conduct of the Government in this respect when compared with their pro- fessions when in opposition. He thought that if there had been no deficit this year the Accounts would have been tabled with- out mvch hesitation. But there was a deficit, and the Government wished to keep this fact from the people as long as they possibly could. They wanted to stave off the evil hour. Again, they had asked that the correspondence between the Local and

i" iN ‘Dominion Governments, in reference to y r e avy our claims upon the Dominion, be tabled.

But this had not been done. He did not believe the present Government had moved in the matter atall. They had slept on our rights. He had also asked the Com- missioner of Crown Lands several weeks ago to table a statement showing in detail the names of all parties who had paid their accounts in full to the Land Office during the last financial year, the statement to

show the amount paid by each and the amount due, the rate of discount allowed

;

whether or not compound interest was evacted. But the information had not yet been given. This is significant. Why is the information not forthcoming? It is important that the public should know how things are going on in that office. We should know how the assets stand, and what proportion of them have been frit- tered away. This House had passed a bill allowing a discount of 12 per cent. on all amounts paid the Land Office before the 15th December, 18€i, on the assurance that it would be binding and that no favor- itism would be shown. But what are the facts? Discrimination has been made and favoritism has been shown. In some cases discounts had been allqwed after the time specified by the statute’ had expired, while in other cases the lag‘‘pound of flesh” had been exacted. He did not hold the present Commissioner responsible for all this, however. There was a greater power than he, and at his dictation certain unjust and unfair things had to be done. Last session the Leader of the Government was asked by the hon. member for Georgetewn, and also by the hon. member fur Rustico, as to the legality of compound interest and if it was the intention of the Government to exact it from those indebted to the Land Office. The Leader did not answer the question then, but said that whatever course the Government would pursue, it would be consistent—it would be either cne thing or the other. But was the course pursued a consistent one? Why were the Government afraid to bring down the de- tailed statement asked for! He believed that when it was brought down it would be in itself a great condemnation of the Gov- ernment’s policy; it would show that the most glaring discrimination had been made —that, to use a common expression, ‘‘fish had been made of one and flesh of another.’ Although he did not have the detailed statement asked for in reference to the Land Office, he had enough information in his possession to show how things were going. He would call the attention of the House to two or three accounts to see how far the statement of the Leader of the Gov- ernment that no favoritism would be shown, was adhered to. James Weather- bie, of Lot 50 owed $70.24 for 41 acres of land. Osc the 15th December, 1891, he settled in full for $45. Although this land had never been re-valued, a reduction of twenty-five cents an acre was made, which, with the interest for twelve years on $10.25, aud the discount allowed, amouated to $25.24 that was knocked off Perhaps it would not be prudent to en- quire if Mr. Weatherbie was a sup- porter of the Government or not. William Ross owed $125.27, and on the 22nd of De- cember he settled for $109.96—being allowed merely a discount of 12 per cent. No privilege was allowed Mr. Ross. Every cent was wrung from him. It is not neces- sary to ask what side of politics he was on. Archibald B. Macdonald owed a balance of $107.32. On the 18th December he settled for $76.96. A discount amounting to $12.87 was allowed, and compound interest amounting to $17.49 was knocked off. Would it be prudeat to ask what side of politics Mr. Macdonald was on? Is this the consistent course the Government said would be pursued? Is this the measure of fair play—the measure of equal rights—-the people were promised? Are we not justi- tied in asking that a detailed statement of all amounts paid be laid on the table of the House in order that we might be able to ascertain the exact extent of the favoritism and discrimination shown. He (Mr. Shaw) had also asked for a statement showing the amounts expended on the ferry wharves at Southport, Charlottetown and Rocky Point, the names of the workmea employed, the number of days they were at work, the wages paid, the amounts paid for inspection, and what part or parts of the work had been let by tender and what was let by private contract. To-da. a statement had been brought down, which is only a mere fragment, It refers only to the South port ferry wharf. This statement showed that over $1500 had been expended on that wharf alone, and that all of the work had been let by private contract. The Com- missioner of Public Works had aleo imported a man named Mullally from Souris,to superin- tend the work on the wharves, to show the workmen of Charlottetown how to drive piles! To this favorite he paid $3 a day ! There were any number of men in the city who would do the work just as well for $1 50 a day. But this made no difference Was i: fair to the workmen of Charlotvetown tha they should be passed over in this way? Was it feir that the Commissioner should gu all the way to Souris, to his own district, and bring a bosom friend down to town and p-y him $3 aday for acting as ‘*walkiny bess” ove: the mecvanics of the ci y He dia uot chink it was. According to the state ment some of the workmen had actualiy beep paid twice over, and a whole week of six working days had been sandwiched in be tween the 12th and 14th of the month of May This was wonderful financing—wonderf«! figuring The Government should get the learned commissioner to issue a text book ou atithmetic. Such wonderful mathematicai talent as the hon. gentleman possesses should not go unrecognized. But what about the statement in reference to the Prince Street Ferry wharf and the wharf at Rocky Point 7 Why hes it not been submitted? Bat, let us pass on and in doing so take a look at the $1290 for roads for the three counties which was shown by the report of the Commissioner of Public W orks not to have been expended by the supervisors. This amount was actually squandered as the work was all done by private contract instead of being put up to ublic tender. If the whole truth were nown it would be seen that the boodling of Mercier was infinitissimal compared with that in connection with the public works of this Province. After a good deal of persistent enquiry on his (Mr. Shaw's) part he had secured a statement from the Commissioner of Public Woks showing the amounts paid for sub-inspecting Cardigan docks during the months of July, August and September of last year. For inspecting the North dock the statement showed that $80 had been paid, $30 to Roderick Steele and $50 to Donald Stewart. No time is mentioned in either case. For inspecting the North dock $239 were paid. Pius F!annigan (no time mention ed) received $65, and Donald Sigsworth $174 for 116 days work at the rate of $1.59 a day. When the late Government went out of

each, what reductions had been made, and

ower these works were almost completed.

lannigan was to do the work of inspecting for $80 ; but when the Petera Government came in the present high-minded and econom- ical Commissioner of Public Works dismissed Flannigan aud put Donald Sigsworth in his place. Flannigan was paid off with $65 ; for $15 more he would bave finished the work of inspection, Did his sueressor (Mr. Sigsworth) do the work for $152 Nothe. He was paid $174 for 116 days work. This is economy with a vengeance. This is the way the or money is be squandered. But

ow in the world the ted Comminsioner of Public Works managed to figure out 116 working days in the months of July, August and September su sion. When he (Mr, to school there were only ing days in these three months, and he had not heard of change being made since that time. He did know, however, that it wae in these three months, the hottest of the year, that the dogs usually had the rabies, and who knows but that at the time the return was made the Commissioner may have been sim- ilarly afflicted. However this might be, he (Mr. Shaw) thoaght he had said enough te show that the present Commissioner of Pub- lic Works was not qualified to discharge the duties of the office he held, and that he should not any lenger occupy a position nature never intended him to fill, At present he (the Commissioner) was an object of derision to his enemies and of melancholy pity to hie friends, Mr. Clow seconded the motion in a brief speech. He regretted that it was necessary to table such a resolution in erder to get the information they were entitled to, but this course had only been adopted after every other constitutional means had failed.

Hon. Mr. Peters directed attention to the 15th rale governing the proceedings of the House, which provides that no reselution ree garding the state of the Province and under which it is proposed to address Her Majesty shall be considered, unless such resolution is tabled twenty-four hours before it is moved and a notice of motion is placed on the order book. This rule had not been observed by the hon. member for New Perth, and he, therefore, held that the resolution was out of order and should not be entertained,

The Leader of the Opposition claimed that the resolu ion was in order. The hon. mem- ber for New Perth had followed the practice of the House in submitting his resolution He had not only put the regulation notice of mo- tion on the order book, but had also written averbatim copy of the resolution thereia at least 48 hours before the motion was made. This was the course pursued in former years when resolutions with a similar object in view were introduced, and he thought there should be no objection now

The Speaker said that the practice of the House was contrary to the rule quoted. The rule provided for two things, only one of which had been done. It seemed to him that the rule was fatal to the resolation.

Mr. Shaw said that the resolution would
