It was just through neglect of the department. Even on the road from here to St. Dun- staifs University, s few weeks ago. ygu could hardl get out. You had drive throng a bog,"

(Dr. MaoMillan referred to a man who had complained of i-l-iis matter to the department and had been lou hed at: he was told thay were get lng enough money out of gasoline tax to pay for repairs).

"It is no answer to say that the road from Charlottetown to Ken- sington was not well built," he con. tinned. Five years had made a. change in the building of hard- surfaced roads all through this country, and it is only logical 1o say.that the road work nan your should be ‘better than the roads laid down five ears ago. That is no argument or neglectin any road and allowing the spring resh- ets to ruin it.

How The Money Go"

‘There is no doubt that s. great deal of money could have been saved in the Public Works Depart- ment during the last four years. The waste was glaring. All anyime had to do was go along the roads. and soc what was going on. My hon. frlcnd from the 2nd dlstr t of Prince drew attention yesbe - day to the work going on on the streets of Charlottetown. Those fellows must have been ivorking 011 the North River Road from m»! Sanatorium to the Queen's Arms: that is where they learned their lesson. I had occasion l.o travel that road last year. A gang o! men had been stumping the road, and the stumps were lying along the roadside. ready to be disposed of. A man here and there with a pick was employed picking the clay out of the roots of those slumps. Near- ly eve bg stump had i1 man a- round t."

MR. AENEAS GALLANT: "You should have reported it to the .de— parl-ment."

DR. MacMILLAN: “There were bosses there, and one of the bosses was looking at him too. He didn't take out a pound of clay in fifteen minutes: half that much, r would say." (Laughter) I don't expect the Minister of Public Works to watch these things. but 5\li'?l_\' lhc officials in Cllflilli‘ si-milzi sce that this was a waste of time,

"1 was told on vcri- riclia-llle ou- thorily that on one operation cf cleaning up or widening there was a gang of from 12 to l4 man 1:011- erally empoycd. and at one limo they ran up to 30 men. Tlicre was

_ Chain Store Taxation

"I want now to refer to an answer tabled by the Premier, which stat- ed that it is contrary to the pub- lice interest to publish 11 list of chain stores assessed for taxation, with the amounts paid for each Sear. Now, Mr. Speaker. is it? Why do they publish the amount of taxes paid b1 llie insurance companies? -Wi_iy publ'sh the amount of taxes paid by other corporations and Companies to this government. Aie the [Clléiln stores privileged? Last rears Public Accounts showed that six paid taxes. This year it says Seven- Wllflt about that one that did not pay taxes last year? Why was that store exempt} Are 11:1 the chain stores now paying‘ this tax, Mr. Speaker? Is any c sin store still exempt? Cam we name in this House chain stores that are not pay ng taxes? Has an effort been made to get certain chain stores in this city to pay taxes that are not 1nying taxes? I11 other words what chain storrs are being protected?

PRE-illfift CAMPBELL: “None?

D1‘. MIICMILLAN: "Are they all pal-in: taxes?"

(No nnsulcr),

Dr. r-ixcMlLLAN: “They are not. Wily? Who is the favorite? Whv [the exemption? Why make some ‘Cllhli’! stores pay taxes to the limit and let others free. That was the reason for asking this question. Why not set it right out in the Public Accounts w.th the amount of irixdticn paid in each case?

Court House Furniture

“Here is another answer to which I draw the attention of the Minister of Public Works. It was asked regarding the furniture in the Suitimcrside Court House: What became of it? It is explain- cd that the following material is ‘on hand stored in Summerside and a (l-etnllcd list is given. But what about the old furniture of this isuiidinc? In answer to that ques- tion lt_ls stated that iihe depait- mint did ‘not sell anv 01 the furni- ture of fittings of the Provincial Balding. Some of the Court House furniture that was stored in the attic during repairs was destroyed ,during the fire. But where ls the list of the furniture that was stor- ed in 1h:- Court House?
