in the Ac-" usmi Nsgim

beck to the year IM3 My hon

remarkable for two storms, the first in July, when the Bell-Lea admin- istration went on the rocks. Does he remember what happened two days after the election? Does he re- member about “Cox's army", or per- haps I should say the “Bell-Lea army" of men on the roads all through the election campaign? The second day after the election every man of them was called off. They didn't think it worth while to pay attention to the roads that were torn un. miie after miie. They couldnt even level off their work.

Stoves and rocks. and plougheddgi iurrows-all left on the public ron s by the order of the Government that wus defeated at the polls, and that was so disgruntled that it had to ir-nt its spite on the people of this Province by leaving tho roads in that condition for nearly two months, before anything could be done. (Applause).

But another storm occurred in the

fall of 1923, which caused wide- spread destruction to the public v.'o~.'-cs of the Province. According to the report of the Department for that year, the storm of 1913 did as much damage as the storm of 1915, when it was estimated that the cost of repairs exceeded 850.000.

Mr, McIntyre: “What about the

storm in 1927? There were two storms then. too."

Premier MacMillan: “You did not

have to deal with the effects oi’ the storm in 1923, when you came into power. At least the Conservative Government did that_ They also had to undertake the biggest road-build. in! llmzramme in history UP to that time, in order to take advantage of the highway grant at Ottawa., which was expiring."

Mr. Lea: "When was that?" Premier MacMillan: "In 1923 and

1024. Who did it? This Govern- ment that my hon. friend says neg- lected the public works - not the Government that lost over two months. and left the roads in such condition as I have described."

Mr. LePage: “We wanted to leave

something for you fellows to do."

Premier MacMillan: "What sort of

Mr. Lea: "And a great many com-

Mr. Molntyrez "I think we were

ordered to stop by the leader of the Government. I got a letter stating emphatically that no more work should be continued, and that if it was continued they would take some other means to stop it."

Mr. Lea: "A Conservative member

came out and ordered Liberals of! a bridge the riext morning."

eremier mseiuiusn: "The siibis

are coming riowi" (laughter). The reason they stopped the work in 1923, the day after the election. was the fact that in 1931--eight years after-the Premier elect wrote them s letter." ilncreased lnugliterfi

Many Bridges Built

Continuing, the Premier explained

that the Province is covered by a great many roads. and there arc thousands of bridges, which up to the time of the Dominion highway improvement scheme were mostly of wooden construction. The first steps were taken in 1921 to introduce steel culveris, and 751': feet of three cul- verts were put in that year. 2.000 feet were placed in 1922, and 8,180 feet in 1923. The latter yea.r, under Conservative administration, saw three times the amount of oulverts laid. Yet the (tlposition leader clinrsres th; Conservatives. when coming into power in 1928. with neg- lecting the roads and l7ridge£, I statement which ll flatly contradic- ted by the Public Works reports.

Mr. Lea: “hat does not mean

that all the bi-.Ages were left entact when we came /i "

Premier MacMillan: "I am taking

the statement which my hon. friend made in the Draft Address. that we left a legacy of rotten bridges.”

Mr. LePage: "T1~.<~re were some

places where there were no bridges at all; where bridges had been.torn up."

Premier )l;|cMiilaii: "Up to

end of th* Year 1023. 400 Imtll an bridges were replaced by

Mr. Lea: "Because we couldnt a-

void it."

Premier Macllillsnz "Very well.

No such occasion arose during the years we were in power. No report came to us that we had to build new ferries. I might tum round and say why didnt you rebuild the Prince of Wales College when you were in power."

Mr. LePage: "If we had to we

would have saved $300,000."

Premier Maollillsnz "You prob-

ably wouldn‘t have built it It lil." ihaughterl.

Mlhlna lobllll

Continuing, the Premier referred

to the Opposition leaders' canplaint that he had got his oar stuck in a mudhole at Preetown in 192|, and consequently ‘the roads were all bad' He would advise the hon. member to be more careful in his statements, otherwise they would ba challenged and he would find bim- self in s very unenviabls position.

Mr. les: "That is a matter of op-

inion."

Premier Mmcllilianz "l.'her'¢ is no

matter of opinion about the stats- ment I have proved out of the Pub- lic Accounts, that your criticism with regard to the alleged extravsg- ancs of this Government was incor- rect and unfounded."

Mr, Lea: "I said on ordinary ac-

count - from your own auditor. I gave the two statements of ordinary account."

Premier MacMillan: “uavmg out

873,000 of ordinary expenditure for your own year 1030. And you thought you could get away with it!" (Ap- plause). That might be all right at a Liberal meeting somewhere in the country. but not in this House. My hon. friend should consider that."

Mr. Lea: "I haven't got to om-

sider you at all, or the eirect that it has on you."

Premier MacM.iils.n: "Well, you

gave me s lot of consideration rv- garding my visits to the Fourth Dis- trict during the election; You"said they were having s. terrific effect. Arid you havent found me having to take back what I said on than occasions." (Applause).

Mr. Les: "When I go into the

Budget I will show you ons."

Opening ltlllls

In his opening remarks when the

House met yesterday morning, Pn- milr llaclillan first referred to the prospects of Charlottetown being in- cluded in the Provincial Library do- moristration. 1-is luued tha propos- al now before the Oity Council would go through and that Char- lottetown would sham in this mova- ment, which has been so enthusias- ticallv received throughout the country.

Premier llaclllllsn noted with

surprise the opposition leaders crit-

issats in the House. His reference ‘must nsvr been to the es‘.~.~.-.mriimsnt lor the Department or maint. which surely was of such importance as to warrant it being pesided over by a portfolio minister.

"With regard to the leasing of

the old P. E. 1. Hospital," said the Premier, “it has been implied that wehsdtodothisbecsuaeitv/as |ugg\stodbyi'.be1eaderoftha0p- position two years ago. or boolulo it was suggested by Mr. Sam Mac- Donald st a meeting of the Build of Trade. However, the Govern- ment, I suppose, is the responsible part in the transaction. Last fall we leased the old building at the rate ol 81,600 a year. with the UP- tion of purchasing the building andthree acreso(landfor$35.000. 'mey wanted $30,000 for the build- ing aud the fourteen acres."

lr. Lea: “They might taks less" Premier bhollilianz “We discuss-

ed it with them. at any l'\t».\\'14 we have that option. Probably the principal reason for tha Govem- mont's action. apart from the ques- tion of the suitability of the hoapi~ tai buiidirl as part of our mental hygiene programme, was the com- plaints that wer! being received from the tenants where we had housed the infirmary inmates, in the Caledonian Club hall.
