this Dominion," said the Governor General, “there are more hospital beds for the mentally af- flicted than for all other types of illness put to- gether. Out of every hundred children now in our schools, four, under present conditions, are doomed to suffer from mental ailments. There (‘can be no doubt about the urgency of the prob- cm.

mental ailments can be cured. With proper treatment, under proper conditions, a great ma]- ority of affcctcd individuals can be made at least partially self-supporting. As His Excellency expressed it, “there is no field of therapy in WhlCll more tangible, definite and demonstrable success has been accomplished than in that which covers the treatment of mental diseasés and the cure of mcnlad disease."

It was this conviction, based on his own exper- ience botb asa doctor and as a former acting superintendent at Falconwood Hospital, which inspired Hon: Dr. W. J. P. lylacMillan to attempt to do something in the way of providing modern facilities for mental treatment in this Province. “Extravagzmce". his political opnoncnts declared; all that most of the Falconwood patients needed was “to be kept warm-they don't need treat- ment"; and promptly after their election these same economists called a special session to get authority to borrow no less than three million dollars.

One of the main troubles of our present legislators is that they do not know their plat- form and policy, and some of them even their past record on the questions at issue.

There can be no representative government when the powers-tbat-be, as here. can manipulatc the public accounts to suit themselves, and with no public control in the legislature.

The two-voice Government permits a paid official to stand up in the House and advocate what the vendors have been doing practically since the abolition of the Prohibition Commis- sion—-scll beer and wine for refreshments

What the Public Accounts do not contain in the way of undetailed expenditure would fill many volumes. Even had the Government fol- | lowed the practice of giving a line to every re- cipient of its bounty the Public Works report would have been in two volumes instead of one.

Was there ever in the Island’s history such an extraordinary session of the legislature as that now coming to its Easter recess. It has been marked by the gravest parliamentary disorder, with practically no responsible person in con- trol. It is surely time such chaotic conditions should be wiped out,

The City Council is evidently “up against” the experience of new legislators-being call- ed upon to meet expenditures incurred but not accounted for by their predecessors. That is wbcre the absence of an outside auditor gives the powers-that-be their opportunity for misrepres- entation of the true standing of province or city.

Slr,—Was report of Mr. J. Wal- ter Jones‘ speech 1n your April 1st. 155119. Intended as an April Fool Joke, or dld he actually suW-"Th-e crew of the ferry work under ral- w_ay rules on an eight hour day, with double pay for overtlmc."

If he clld? Then I agree he hal "a_bg Lose of Latin and Greek, wh.cl1 did no! do hlm any good" and too little "mathemallc. uhch require. a curacy."

Most of our crew work a gen hour (my, s nu: as high as fzur- teen burrs without. uverllm. therefore as an authority on this, Mr. Jcnrs ls a 300:1 I-Io's.c1l1 Breeder, because none of us go: double time for overtlmc.

SO. "the promoters of the Wood Island Ferry were hopeful thls pro ect. would force the Railway out orules to place a modern ferry between Borden and ‘Ilormeutlne. The present steamer ls not eco- nomlcal."

The Rallwav authorities operate

the Ferry, but 1t ls the Dominion ("overnment pays for them and places them on the route and 1t would be ve lnluaatlng to learn by what me 0d of reosonlng he could posslbly hope. that by Bet.- tlng the Government to spend sev- eral hundred thousand dollars to bulld termlnals for A lvstely owned auto ferry at. Woo Island, It, might. force the same Govern- ment. to spend an additional three or four hundred thousand dollars to put another ferry lsteamer on here, especially when the one we now have. can brln autos to the Island about four tines as fast as the proposed Wood Island Ferry could posslbly get them away? Apart; from Sunday, which should be a day of rest. we can handle about 90 automobiles ‘on each round Lrlp of the boat, for l7 hours a day, wlfhout any oddl- tlonal cost, of operatlon, whlch proves Mr. Jones’ statement, that. this ship ls not modern or eco- nomlcal, requlrm further consider- atlon and correctlon. Mr. Jones must have had some lnslde information, whlch ne con- siders relluble, before he sold, she was to be a. diesel driven ferry and: “It. would only rcqulra a crew of five."

One of these posslbl would be the Master, whose duy 1t 1s t0 oversee everything. One of neces- slty, r ulred by Law. would be the Eng eer, w ose duty 1s to re- moln by his engines and let us say a. stewardess.

Thus two, certainly not; ever three at the outside, would be left.

W111 Mr. Jones explain how these two men are golnlz to take care 01‘ things In bad weather or whlle docking wlth one man for each end of the shlp?

In case of colllslon, who would launch the life boats (she would have to carry at, least. four) and 1001: after the salelg of the 150 passengers. Even 1f e Master and the Engineer deserted their posts to help 1n this work whlch would be the worst. of ba seamanshl and might well lead to disaster, f would mean there would be one man and a. quarter of the slaw- ardess to launch and handle each boat which would hardly satlsfy the requlremenm of our rigid reg- ulations m safeguard llfe at. sea as administered by the Board of Steamshlp Impectlon. - Next let us eonslder the type of boat to be placed on mu proposed rcufe as ou lined by hlm. when he salclz-“Carlbou was found sabls- fucbory.
