Quebec municipalities specifically mentioned in the report as having padded their relief bilLs, notably Verdun, Montreal North, Lachine and Quebec City have come out with statements they have adminis- tered reuei "honestly and without prejudice." The report did not deal with Montreal.

m Ontario the report said invest- igations led to the belief more adeq- uate audit oi expenditures on direct relief and public works should be provided. In many cases, according to the report, statements oi relief expenditures by municipalities were found to be insufficient and that statements of l5 municipalities were unsupported by the usual vouchers.

PREMIER

From the floor oi the Legislature on Thursday morning, Premier Mac- Millan, on a question oi privilege.

statements with reference to himself which appeared in the Patriot news- paper on March 27.

The Premier first cited the follow- lng extract from page 8 of the Lib- eral newspsper oi that issue, re- porting s, legislative discussion on the intimates:

"Premier Macmillan asked Mr. T. A. Campbell if therc was any drunken driving under the Pro- cincial Police. ‘Mr. Campbell said there was a certain amount, but he did not speak of that in gen- eral; he spoke of serious crimes. He also said that the Stewart Government from 1923-21 had ap- pointed motor policemen, one for each county.‘

"I wish", said the Premier, "to draw attention to the fact that that is an incorrect account of what transpired. The member for First Prince in speaking on this point de- clared that the late Government were the pioneers in police work in this Province. I asked him the question, if they found any motor policemen in this Province when they assumed control, and I gave him the information that the Stew- srt Government had appointed mo- tor police. l-le asked me how many and l said one in each County. Tbs point I take objection to is that the statement which I ma to tbs House is now credited to liberal mem- bar for First Prince.

I the money and they didn‘t get it.

He, however, did get it. The in- ference is that he should be "boosted" as succeeding wherc others had failed. The fact is, as pointed out by Mr. Thane A. Campbell in the course of the discussion on the tirnates last night, that the Camegle corpora- tion grants, so far ea the smaller educational institutions in Canada and the United States are con- cemed, were not obtainable until i932. l-low then could the Lib- erals, who went out of office in September, i931 obtain something that was not obtainable until i982? . . . ‘In accepting the Oar- ncgie grants, the present Govern- ment slmply took what is avail- able to this province in common with Institutions and centres throughout the various provinces of Canada.’

"I want to draw to your attention, Mr. Egseaker," said Premier Mac- Millam "that the foregoing statements are incorrect. As I poin- ted out in the discussion, Newfound- land obtained their gnnt from the Carnegie Corporation many years ago, and a junior college was foun- dcd there. Moreover, the University of 8t. Francis Xavier some years ago obtained a grant for the endowment of achair, in the samemanneras we obtained our endowment last year.

leonousie administration by MaaeMillan Government in Public Wes-ks Department was shown convincingly In the Legis- lature during the discusion in committee on tbs Intimates last week. Armed with faeta and figures, Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister of Public Works, piloted his oaths-nah! through couunittae without the customary assistance of the Deputy Minister, fill‘. L. B.

The inti- mate knowledge which Mr. Sharp showed of every phase of his depart- mcnt. after being only a few months in charge, took OppoaLion members by surprise, (rlaiming credit for having been the “pioneer? in the work which the department has carried on un- der the present administration. the Opposition members were answered effectively by both Mr. Sharp and Premier MucMillan, the ls is-r pointing out, after a comparison of Liberal and Conservative exprndit- urea. that their claim to that db- tinctlon was based on the fact that they were “pioneers of extrava- game."

In 1N8, ill miles of road in Kings County were widened by heavy power ma- chines, 100 miles in Queens and 325 7-8 miles in Prince. The Lib- erals had been criticised for buy- ing heavy power graders but the Conservatives, on coming into pow- er, had copied this policy es they had done every other policy in the Public Works Department, includ- ing, Mr. nllclntyre alleged. the Lib- eral Road Act and the Liberal sys- tem of calling for tenders for con- crete bridges.

Says Policy "Copied"

There were occasions, Mr. Mo- Intyre admitted, when tenders were received from per-sons who were not responsible or able to carry out a contract. In that case the advice of the engineer was followed in awarding the tender.

He maintained that in the three Liberal years, 19%. 1929, and 1W0. the road maehiries purchased by thk depariunent had effected a. saving of $208,146 in work whcih under the, old system would have coat a465,-
