Continued progrem was made in

the Budget debate yesterday aft- ernoon and evening, the speakers being Mr. D. F. Bethune (Second Queens), Hon. Mr. Sharp, Minis- ter of Agriculture, Mr. L. R. Alien, (Fifth Prince), and Hon. Dr. Mac- Millan. Minister of Health and Education.

Continuing his spee.:`.i begun on

Wednesday evening, Mr. Bethune compared graveliing expenditures ill his own district; under both pol- itical regimes. Mr. LePage had stated that the late Liberal Gov- ernment laid 11 1-4 miles in the West River District. This Govcm- ment in three months had laid nearly nine miles. The Liberal cost was over $2,400 per mile, while the Coriseravtive cost was about $750 per mile.

Mr, Bethune had been informed

that under the Liberal Govern- ment the senior member for West River had hired and fired work- men on his own account. The Con- servative Government carried on thework under the direction of a capable foreman, with no political interference from thc junior mem- ber of the district.

Two bridges had been built in

the District, known as the Warren Bridge and the Jewell Bridge, botll being practically the same size. But the Jewell Bridge under the Conseravtives was built at less

Liberal Pronlisl-s

The illconsistcrit attitude of thc

senior member for West River oil the subject of old ago pellsioizs was analyzed by Mr. Bethune. It had been called to the attention of Mr. LePsge that sithougil he stated at s. political meeting last August llc had never promised old age pen- sions to any person, it riumbel' of residents of Rustico and vicinity came to the piatfornl to refute his statement. Owing to an agrccnleiit between the cnndlds~t.°.s that no others sllould speak at nlcctings iii the District, these people did not have the opportunity of lnakili; a full statement.

Reference was also made by Mr.

Bethune to the Rocky Point Wharf. This wharf had been neg- lected by the Liberal Government and both wings' vfere in bad sllnpc. The mutter had since been taken up with the Federal members and it is expected to effect a saving to the Province in this connection of about $3,000.

The good work of thc Hamp-
