The bill, which moved into

He explained that the Govern-

ment' had abolished the office of purchasing agent and the super- vision of purchases of supplies was now in the hands of the Treasury Board. The majority of the mem- bers of the Board hold salaried portfolios but there may be other members who do not receive any remuneration.

Reminded in the Legislat-

ure yesterday by Mr. Dennis (Liberal member for Second Prince) of the election prom- ises made by Liberal candid-

Lea sharply retorted that such a pledge was not in the Liberal platform and there- fore was not binding on the Government. _

The incident arose in the Legis-

lature while the House. composed of thirty Liberal stalwarts, was ini oommittee on sn Act to amend the Education and Public Health Act, with Mr. W. F. Allan Stewart in the chair.

The bill, which was sponsored

by Attorney General Campbell. makes the following provisions:

"From and after the thirty-first

day of December, A.D. 1935:

“(al The Portfolio heretofore

held by the Minister of Education

Public Health shall be divided

holders shall be styled respectively “Minister of Education," and "Miu- ister of Public Health."

"(b) Each of the said Ministers shall perform all the duties to be

made from time to time relating

Education and Public Health, or to any other Department heretofore administered by the Minister of Education and Public Health.

"ici The said Portfolios shall be held concurrently by one or separ- ately by two Members of His Maj- esty's Executive Council of this Province, whether or not any such Member is the Premier or holder of any other Government Portfolio.

“<dl The Lieui.ens.nt-Govemor-

in-Council may from time to time divide or opportion between the said two Portfolios the remuner- ation heretofore fixed for the Min- ister of Education and Public Health, and may from time io time

Premier Lea said the overdraft

in the Bank of Montreal was draw- ing s high rate of interest and it was the intention to obtain a. re-- duction by bond issue. A few days ago the Gcvemment had issued $200,000 bonds, which was all it had authority to deal witlf. The interwt rate received was much more favorable than was anticipated. The bonds, which were for ten years, sold at 99.58. "It'is principal- ly because we have not legislative authority to borrow any greater sum," he added, "that we have called this special session of the House. It is anticipated that through better economic conditions the market has reached the lowest point in bond interest rates and before we meet next March the in-
