Joint Meeting Held At St. George's Last Evening

..'A large number was in at-

tendance at the Joint political meeting held at St. Georges last night. Mr. Louis Campbell presid- ed. Speakers were the candidates. Mr. S. S. Hessian (Lib). Charles R. McQuaid (PC). George E. Saville (Lib). and Alister B. Stewart. (PC). In his remarks Mr. Hessian spoke brieny regarding govern- ment policies with reierence to roads. stating that its program in the past had been a constructive one and that its future program was an ambitious one. with refer- ence te roads in the St. Georges area. Mr. Hessian said that a highway for this area might soon be realized as it was necessary to the economy of the area and that the only means of communication within the area was by means of roads. He felt that when the pres- ent program of road improvement was completed. the work of paving within the area would be under- taken.

Mr. McQuaid stated that the government record during the past four years was the issue in the election, together with the record of the representatives of the dis- trict. He went on to say in this connection that if the record was

should be given further thought as to a solution. He discussed the question of roads. and stated that of the l97 miles of roads in the district only 2-. miles had been paved since 1941. He felt that the district had not received its fair share although it had contributed to the construction of pavement in all other districts. Mr. McQuaid stated that in l951 King's County had been promised an all winter road from Souris to Wood Islands.

own initiative and would be locat- ed in an area determined by the company engineers.

Mr. Saville referred to -the "gloomy thirties" as be termed I1. and stated that the depression at that time was partly the respon- sibility of the Conservative party as they supported the P0110!” 0' hlglr tariff which he felt were largely esponslble for the presslon. In speaking of the record of the Liberal administration dur- ing the past twenty years. Mr. Saville stated that the government had rebated to the fishermen the gasoline tax; that the government had rendered assistance to school districts for building new schools and remodelling old ones; thal the government had raised teach- ers salaries far beyond that of the 1934 level.

Respecting roads Mr. Saville stated that there were 9h millespl paved road in the Fifth District and was also served by many more. During the past several years, he said. the government had almost completed the' widen- ing oi all roads in the district, and that the money which had been allocated for this would now be transferred to the construction of pavement in the district.

He also spoke of the policies in

the Agriculture Department. and referred to the limestone policy. the swine policy. cattle. etc. In re-V ferriug to health and welfare. be, dealt at some length with old age- ensions. children's allowancesl and i" "”y pensions.

Mr. Stewart spoke briefly in re- ply to a challenge given at the first meeting by Mr. Saville re- specting what the Conservatives. had done for the district. He went back to 1917 to point out that the. Conservative administration at that time had built one of the fer-l

ment while the House was in ses-i sion last Spring. It recalled the fact that although Parkdale was in favour of being set free from the Unit. they were not advocat- ing the breaking up of the Unit. Judge Darby suggested to Mr. MacLean that the unleashing of such a large portion of the Unit would in all probability mean the breaking up of the whole Unit. He pointed out that the Village as it now exists does not coincide with the original School District and if Parkdale Were granted this request to become disassoci- ated with the Unit. it would in- volve considerable re-allocation of territory among the other dis- tricts of the Unit. In reply as to whether one of the objections for being in the Unit was because they didn't have a say in the as- sessment of the unit. Mr. MacLean said that this was one of the r . He pointed out that Park- dale had only a debt of 323.000 when they entered the Unit but now were sharing one third of e 5175.000 debt for the whole Unit. He said that Parkdale was pay- ing 3.500 per year. over and a- bove what lt Was coating to main- tain their own district.

CONSTRUCTION COST

Mr. MacLean said that he had no complaint with the administra- tion of the unit but would not admit that the educational stand- ard of the school had been raised as a result of the Union. Judge Darby suggested that the main reason why Parkdale wanted to be let out of the Unit was be- cause they would have to share in the construction of new school units. the need for which was im- mlnent. Mr. MacLean agreed that this was the main reason. "If your costs were taken care of so that the tax rate that you would be required to pay was no more than what you are now pay- ing. would that solve your pro- blem?" Mr. MacLenn said that such a scheme might be all right during the period of time it was in effect but that at the termin- ation of the agreement. the tax rate might be more than the dis- trict could pay.

Judge Darby rerrunded Mr. MacLesn that I Parkdnle is as much built up as it will be. then it could be assumed that the ex- panslon in home building would come from the outside areas and as a result there would be in-

The president and Dulles dis- cussed an anxiety which is much on the minds of officials here- that the world may expect mir- acles from the prospective top level meeting of the Big Four.

'1 don't believe that danger is quite as great as it was once." Eisenhower broke in.

The president said he is sure the American people have a greater maturity than they used to have about these things.

TThe" blssest danger." Dulles said. is that hopes would be raised so high that they cannot possibly be realized."

lage became incorporated. he was hopeful that they would have a say in their own affairs and do their own financing.

TAX BURDEN

Mr. Driscoll went on to say that in his belief the benefits obtained through participation in the Unit did not compensate for the in- creased burden of taxation that they were being called upon to pay. He referred to the proposal now before the Board of Trustees to build a 5150.000 uhlgh school which he understood would be constructed outside of Parkdale. He felt that the District should have the right to say what build- ing should or should not take place.

Judge Darby reminded him that if Parkdale should have that right. then ,by the same token. oilier districts should have the same right.

Mrs. Edwin Cook. president of the Women's Institute stated that she was not at all in favour of Parkdale being included within the School Unit. In making com- parisona before and after. she said that there formerly existed a spirit of cooperation and com- munlty pride. This she said was not the case now. Many felt that there could be nothing done for the home school without doing it for the whole Unit. She said that the educational situation had not improved and in her opinion had gotten worse. She complained that the District had no control over the School and as a result had lost. interest in it. Mrs. Cook re- ferred to the water and sewage conditions in the Village and add- ed "what will be the good of the school anyway. if our children come down with an epidemic as a result of these condltions." Judge Darby said "Your problem has been accentuated by a local condition. namely water and sew- age.'

OTHER WITNESSES

Other witnesses who briefly before the Commission were Messrs. Dean Robinson. Harry Hennessey and Glen Ram- say. All of these men agreed that Judge Darby's suggestion to sub- sidize the Unit would tend to solve the problem but Mr. Hennesse added that he felt that the resi- dents would prefer being on their nwn. even at the risk of being called upon to pay increased taxes in summing up Judge Darby cautioned those present to not go away with the idea that any of the proposals or solutions suggest- ed would go Into effect. He made H" M an r . . clelr by saying that their pur- pose was to find out the facts pretaining to the situation and to make certain recommendations to the Government as a result. he said that the Gov:-nment was Mbwndl--nrwnrtoaccspt such recommendations.
