National Park Cost;

"I don't know that. one single member of this House would have voted for the National Park if he knew the cost," Mr. Stewart Con- tinued. "We questioned the leader 0f the Government at the time, and he told us the cost would be

_ gibie.--$4c.oo0 of which we were to receive $25,000 from the Dominion Government in return for the hotel at Dalvay.

“We find instead that last year $60,000 was spent on this Park, and in the Estimates for the year coming we have $50,000 more, and this is not probably the end.

Going Behind

"I wish to call attention to the serious financial situation of the Province," Mr. Stewart. continued. “The revenue in i913 was $522,000 For the last fiscal year it was over two million dollars. We also find that for the same term of @s our expenditure increased from $460000 to an estimated expendit- ure for the coming year of $2.885,- 000—ovcr five tinios as much as the revenue in 1913,

"The financial situation in any business can be judged by the debt it carries. We find that in 1913 the per capita debt was a little over $10. In i936 is was nearly

A “Will-o-the-Wlsp"

“This balanced budget. has been a will-of-the-wlsp, like the phan- tom ships that have been seen of’! our coast recently. The farther we go after It, the farther it goes."

There were three years, Mr. Ste- wart claimed, that stand in the “red" as particularly bod; those were the last three years of the MacMillan administration. The Lea Government came into power on a certain definite promise made by every member of this House. “We guaranteed that. if returned to power we would balance our bud- get and we would balance it an- nually. HAVE WE DONE S0?"

Mr. Stewart paused a few mom- ents. There was no reply.

"When Mr. Lea took over the reins of office," he continued, “he made a great reduction in expen- diture in all departments, particu- larly in salaries and expenditures that could be cut down. Because of the lower cost of living it was easier then to do it than now: but

not only for that reason but. be-

cause he had promised to do so. “And I believe that if Mr. Leo's financial program-me had been carried into effect in succeeding mars, right up to date. we would on a sound financial standing todayg-not in the case we are in II object has been to im- press on you the serious financial situation we have drifted into.

My people have lived on the soil of this: Island for over a ccntu and a half. We have always pad for ivhut we got. and we have done without what we are not able to pay for.

uEtc-n

.. The bill for coal in the Jail at Georgetown was $860.00 last. year. I must admit that attached to that item of coal in the public accounts there is the word ‘etch 1 have berm told that in some of the out- Doris of Newfoundland. if you land and wish to go overland to another place and you meet amen on the road who is unfamiliar to any extent with distances on land, and ask him how far it is to such and such p place. immediately he tells you, one, two or three miles, and so on.‘ I don't know whether this ‘etc.’ covers a very large item 01‘ l1 Vefy large amount oi money. If it does, the coal bill is substan- tially reduced. But I do subunit that if that ‘etc.’ covers any large expenditure it should not be put in the Public Accounts in that way. It is quite proper to have it at the end oi a statement, but there is no hope of intelligently studying the Public Accounts of this province if ‘mate's.’ mean the same as the outport Newfound- liuidexs mean by ‘on and on',—an indeterminate point."

One speaker had referred to a delegation from Georgetown tit- ioning for a. paved road. an had also stressed the difficulties of government in controlling expen- diture. Mr. Hughes did not think the point well taken. “That dele- gation was here properly." he said. “The reason why it was here was

because the Government. in the first place, did not act properly, in my opinion."

When the Liberals took office in 1935, Mr. Hughes said. there was a substantial area of hardsurfaced roads in Queens and Prince Coun- ties, but not a mile in Kings County "or anywhere near Kings County." In season and out of season he and some others had endeavored to impress upon the powers that be the factthat that condition should be romediechthial. the distribution that now exists was unfair.

“This Government now has un- dertaken projects for a hundred miles of hard-surfacing. and there are just two isolated bits of that in Kings County. Perhaps 20 per cent of the whole. and the rest is

they can do without. Libraries are very fine if we can afford but I think we should, at least for the resent year, cut down on the E's imates, and I for one, when the imates come will see that they are re- duced to a minimum in all cases. On things that are absolutely "B0- essary we cannot cut down, but in all other items. because of an in- crease over last year there should be a decrease.

nt in Queens and Prince where they had too much before. in pro- portion." Mr. Hughes continued. “I cannot make any excuse for that because I don't know any BXCHM that could be made for it.”

They had been told, Mr. Hughes said, that the Rustico highway was given to the people of the settle- ment of Rustico in lieu of a rail- way. The pwlfle- 0f Dundlm Bridgetown and irrunediate vicin- ity have been seeking railway fac- ilities for years. "My coliea-izilc (Mr. savillc) “years before he saw the light of Liberalism, was im- poi-tuning the powers that be for a railway, and I really believed that when he came to this House the Liberals would not leave out that district.”

“The people believe. and many of the members believe, that this House is one party," Mr. Hughes continued.
