The title of the bill was amend. ed to include ‘consumers’ as well as producers and distributors.

The bill authorized the Gover- nor in Council to appoint aBoard to consist of three persons, one o: whom shall represent the consumers. one the milk and cream producer; and distributors. and the third to be the Dairy Superintendent of the Province. who shall be chair- man. The Board is empowered tn grant licenses tn retail milk ven- d“ . to inquire into complaints, to tre.e. adiust and settle disputes resn consumers and persons engaged in the milk business, to fir: prices paid for milk and cream ~and to‘ prohibit any aale or deliv- fli’ 1y .0 Nice lower than the set

fish. Mr. Allan quoted an article relating to milk conditions and exploitation of consumers. in the city of New York. He added: “This scheme as I see it is to have a law built around a few particular friends who are producing milk in the vicinity of Charlottetown." Mr. Jones: "What about Sum- merside?" Hon. Mr. Allen: "They are not asking for it at the present time." MY- Hughes: "It's a wonder."

Hon. Mr. Allen: "As lar as Ican see they will not ask ior it. My claim is that the milk sh uld be Supplied to poor children a eslow a price as possible." The farmers. he said. were receiving only $1.00 per I00 lbs. for their milk, yet consumers in Charlottetown must bl! 10 cents a quart. There was something wrong. If it is the in. tention oi the bill to reduce the rice to consumers. he had no ob- eotion. but he was “positively op- posed" if it was intended w in- crease the price. He believed there "was a lwrong method oi distrt - in Charlottetown. Four or

m. Wright agreed it was neces- fery that children 1n Char- ottetown milk at that low-

There are health and other regulations made by theCit that must be rigidly observ Cooling and other processes add to the expense of the city . Moreover. the producer must sup- ’ ply a certain. definite quantity throughout the yea-r. He cannot have his herd idle in the winter. when feed la more naive. He "- must have his cows freshen at a " certain time Th d

The decision in the case of licenses, he maintained. should be left entirely to the Board. "Il you are going to illl every Supreme Court docket with cases like this you will have a ridiculous situation. where you have the consumers’ representative not agreeing xlth the others and if you allow appeals to the Court. you will have to breed up another group of lawyers."

Mr. Trainer said his amendment was intended to protect the inter- ests of the producers and distrib- utors as well es the consumers.

Premier's Objection

Premier Campbell: "Some years ago when an amendment to the Public Utilities Act was pro-posed. providing for an appeal to the Supreme Court against the decis- ion of the Public Utilities Com- mission, I was then in Opposition and took the ground that the de- cision of the Public Utilities Board on questions such as they were called upon to decide was not a proper subject for appeal to the Courts; the ground being that the main object od an appeal in any

ers. hot must be provided: be cleaned at

of law. In the Courts themselves there is, as a general rule. no ap- peal on uestions of fact. The constitutional ground of appeal in all Courts is 0n questions 0i law. It seems to me thata board oi this kind. with presumably some spec- lal experience in the questions with which it deals. is a more compe- tent tribunal to decide queetio

of that kind than a single Judge or even a grougof Judges, who are rimarily appo ted to decidequea-

tions of law." . "I withdrew the

Hon. Mr. Allen referred to a ‘ tement by Mr. Jones. citing cents as the price of butter fat to- day. That was correct but mis- leading. Mr. Allen maintained. He cited the average price paid by the largest producers in the prov- ince over the whole season of 1931. which ‘worked out to an average of cen .

Mr. Trolnor moved as another amendment: "The Board shall have gower. after investigation. to con-

Mr. > : "It might ‘be ‘hard to the boundary oi’ any incorporated town."

Premier Campbell: “It t, be extended to take in the euv ons."

Mr. ‘rreipor: "There are distrib- utors living four or iive miles out-

side Charlottetown."

Mr. Seville: “I lt should only apply to" the City of Chur- lottetown. They are the only (mes who are asking for it.“

“Hardly Fair”

Hon. Mr. Dennis: "It ls hardly fair to exclude people from the out- lying towns from ticipating in the advantages tha we are giving to Charlottetown. We are not forcing it on the villages. but if it is a good thing for Charlottetown, then for goodness sake allow the other incorporated towns to get the same advantage ll they want

Mr. Seville: "That is one side of the question, but it is not the sec- ond side. The consumers oi Georgetown might wish the Act to apply, but the producers might not want it at all. 'lney ShQlhd have a say."

Premier Campbell: "They would have a say.‘

AVAI‘. QBVIIACI “I doubt very much if they would, because they woman. have any member on the Board. i think ior this year the Act should apply only to Char- lonetown. "

Brenner Campbell: "1 think m; members aieunduiy apprehensive 0t the rapidity Wlail wnicn this legislation will proceed. 1 am ex. tremely doubtful if Charlottetown will be more than well organized by this time next year. and if other areas will be touched by the Act at all. I don't think there is any danger 1l'1 letting the Act go as it is."

Mr. Trainor said the Minister oi Agriculture had it the impres- sion that‘ the City oi Charlotte- town was asking for this legislat- ion. The City was not asking for . It was at the request of the members of the City that it was withdrawn last year.

Mr. Wright: "The Charlottetown City Council appointed a certain individual to help prepare this bill. Tllvugh possibly they may u have originally asked ior it, at same time they cooperated with the producers and the Dairy Sup- glrinitlelrlildent in the preparation of

Mayor. and the City Courwil ap- pointed a representative; the pro- duoers had already appointed one. and these two appointed a third. The bi was submitted to the Mayor and went through hands. “So I submit the City oi Char‘ ttetown through their pro r representatives had a fair worker; knowledge of it."

Sec. ii provldee that the Board shall submit an annual report to the Minister of Agriculture. to- gether with a statement of iooeiptl and expenditures, and from time to time report to the Miuistep as required.

Hard To Identify

Hon. Mr. Allen: “I can't s why the report should be made to hhe Minister oi Agriculture. He must be under the impression that this wps the bill introduced by the Minister himself. and which died. I have been told there were three lls circulated around. and is

others. I am told that the Mayor of Charlottetown did not get the

ill that is being promoted now. until very recently. and he did not have time to study it. That is possibly one reason why the City oi Charlottetown has not been in favor oi the bill. because they real- ly don't know what bill is being

promoted." /

Mr. Seville: “The Min of Agriculture tells us that the bill was brought in by the City Coun- oil of Charlottetown and the 0- ducers in Charlottetown. I ou’t know what r hi. these people have

whole Province."

The section. after further discus- sion. was carried, Mr. Seville op- posing.

Mr. Stewart moved. ls an addi- tional section. that the Act shall apply only to the producers. con- sumers and distributors of the City of Charlottetown and Royalty.

i-lon. Mr. LePage: "That would be spoiling the Act. If it is not ri hi to pass this bill for the w ole Province. it is positively not right to pass it for Charlottetown."

Mr. Jones: “The bill is quite sale. The only trouble is the City is wetting too much authority.“

on. Mr. e: “It is class legislation if you confine it to Charlottetown."

Mr. MacKinnon: "You may say it is safeguarded; but take the lit- tle villages out the country: somebody will come along and the Board will give in to them. Don't include them until they ask for it. We are not denying you people in Charlottetown. but when we ask ior it throughout the country. that is time enou h to give it to us."
