MR. SHAW’'S ABLE SPEECH OON- OLUDED.

Mr.A. A Mchean’s Telling Criticism of the Government.

emt

Wepnespar, May 30.

Continuing his remarks, Mr. Shaw pointed out that the Opposition last year showed (hat the asylum was cold and that ihe flour, butter aud meat was unfit for use, acd the only reply of the Leader wae (0 stamp on the floor and adjourn the Heuse. But the Grand Jury, backed up by public opinion, forced the Goverament to appoint a commission to investigate the management of the seylum. The eessions ot the commission were aitended by the Premier who stood with whip in band as it were overthe witnesses in order that they might wot telltoo much. He also attempted to muzzie (the press. Notwith

made public, The Government had Mr. Crosekill teere taking a sbherthand report of the evidence,but the Leader never gave him instructions to exteod hisnotes. Ae a matter of fact these netes have never been extended. Had they been extended the tale would have been a more deleful one. It was proved at ike investigation that the asylum fleors were bad, that the water fruz¢ ow the floorsor run dewa the chinks aod destroyed the ceilings,and that suow drifted im through the windows upou the inmates while they were lying in their beds; while the Premier was en- joying his comfortable home many of the peor people who were under his cere were perishiog with cold. The attendaats had actually to wear theirovercoate while on Guty in the halls of the imetitution. The Leader poses asa chrietias, bute christian is generally kaowa by his works. The Leader bad turmed a deaf ear te the entreaties of the lusaties and was dead te their supplieations. The repert says teat in 1889 the trustesa paid 189 visits te the asylum, while in 1898 they only made 14.

The Premier bere rose to apoiat of order. Ee said that ia 1889 the trasiees visited the asylum alteracately and were paid in proportion to the namber of visite.

Proceeding, Mr. Shaw pointed eut that »l.bough the act provided thet one tras- tee shall visittheaeryinm each week the combined visite ia 18983 were only 14. Bot the Leader says the trustees were paid for their visite in 1889. The infereace must be that the number of visits had been reduced because the trusiees had not beea paid. Jo comsequense of this slackness om the part ef trustees bul! beef, impure butter and bad flour were supplied tu the inetimtion, The afficial repert of the evidence hasnos been sub. mitted because tae Leader well knew it woul | damo bim politically.

The Premier rose to a point of order and dared Mr. Shaw to eave Mr. Cros- kil] su »moued to the bar of the House to give evidence regarding the asyium repert and the reason the testimony was not ex- tended.

Mr. Shaw said that from the fact that Mr. Croskill was an official of the Govera- ment and had nei exteaded the notes of the evidence taken last fallit is evident that he never received instruetions to do ao. [i Cane outiduriugthe investigaticn that seme of the inmates kad been founi dead ia their beds aad that when sick they were unetiended.

The Premier — Wo was the patieat who was found dead?

Mr. Shaw—It was Dr. Fraser. Me bad been enffering from dysentry and was noi attended when he was dying. Dr Fraver had been mentally sffi eted fer vears. I: may have beea that hie reason was restored to him for a few i ours before he creseed tte bar. If thie was the case the poor man would fiad biwaelf aloce incarcerated in a cold aud Jonesome dungeen, witscut even an attendant to watch over bim ia nis leet moments, The manegement ef the asylom is aleve sufficieat to condemn the Gever.ment in the eyes ofthe public. He believed the Lsader had an objec: in not enquiring more fully inte the state of the asylum. He had slready pointed owt thas four and buiter usfit fer use had been supplied to the asylum, some of which bad been returned as not being fit for use. Who faruished them?

The Premicr srose toa point of order aud dared Mr. Shaw io prove from the report that he (the Leader) had anything to do with supplying these articles.

Mr. Shaw then pointed ont that the public records showed that flour and but. ter were furnished tae asylum by J. A. Farqubason & Co, The flour was sold fo $3.80 and the butter for 164 cents. Was the low price of the butter the reason it was impure?

Mr. Campbel! arose to a point ef order and informed the House that he wae fore. man Of the jury that condemned the but. ter, and added that every man on the jury said it was impure.

Mr. Shaw went on to intimate that when it was ascertained who was the company in the firm furnishing the butter they migat get te Donald Farquharson, the father of John A. Farquharson, and the Premier of the Province. One of the Premier’s supporters had actually been

was inan advaneed state of putrifastion. It is ne worader thatthe iomates of tne asylum were cesting the eountry leas per head than they were before. Taking up the matter of roadsavd bridges, Mr. Shaw contrasted the exproditures of Comeerva~ tive and Liberal eee ee diture om roads the Jast five years won $20,088, while during the last five

yeara of the previous adwmin-~ istration it war $23,677. The increase in favor of the Conserva- tives was therefore $4,784, On bridges

the average expendiure cf the present clministration 's $17,943 agsinst an aver- age expenditure o! $23,066 by the previeus administratione Tis shows an average digerence of $6,122 in favor of the pre- vious edministra’ion. The previous ad- cainistration also - ect more on wharves nan the present Government, Fer the hve veare beginnine with (896 aud ending with 1899 the aversge annus) expenditere wae $3,263. whil e average fer the last five yearsof the | administration was $6,392. To extenrive bhood- ling has apparestly beer practiced bw the Public Works BD prriment in coppnection with the road marvbives. Take District No. 2, Queen’s Oiunty. John McGuigan, for attendieg the road meehive 87 days, was paid $37.68. He a supervisor em~ ploye a man at $! 60 Jay to operate the machine. He (McGuigan) gets a sal- ary of $50 8 year as supervisor, and he also gets $37 60 for driving around doing nothing. Johe McGuigan, ior beuling and storing road machine, was pei $Y, tor repsiring the machine $3.50, for reoairing Hughes’ bridge $1.28, for collect'og ¢ mmeatation money §2 80 —in alebout $53.

Theo teh No. IL District, Belfast Alexwuder Keston, Supervisor, was paid $26 for 18 dwys work of self and horse, for «toring, moving and oiling maehine, $360, 1@ days on ascount of bridges, $12.50, 10) days for wan and borse, $28,- 60, repaire to machine §2 84, inspeesting repairs to rosds $6—in all $76, besides hie $4@as supervisor. Mr. Shaw also natanced ceveral similar expenditures in other districis, showiag wherein the peo- ple’s monsy was aquandered on favorites. Since the 31st December $55,868 was paid on public works. Ne doubt some ef that is for road orders paid before the Murray Harbor and Belfast eleetions. Thisisthe waythe money goes. Since the firss of the year $136,730 have been expended in thed ftereut departments of the public service. Taking thet as « standard instead cf an estimaied ¢xpendi- ture of $260,008 being sufficient this year it will not be lesa than $314,000. The Leader of the Goverament wishes to make is appear that we only owed $580,668 00 heSlet December. He world like the Leader to point owtthe publie worke thas wovld justity him: in increasing the debs toeven this sum from $128,066 Aod while this debt wae beiogrolied up taxes to the tune of $300,000 were taken from the people. Mr. Snaw said that ke wish- ed now torefer 10 the account as shown by the Pablie Auditor. He desired te point owt that whilst those aeceunts show that $11,030.30 was placed in the Merchant’s Kank of Halifax awaiting in vestment aud credited tothe Debenture Siokiag fund acceunt,gand $4,538.78 ie ie the Merchants Bank of Malifax ored ted te funds held in “trust, he wisbed to make tlie statement, and he wished bia statement to go to ‘he country, that vot one dellar is today in she bank a@a sinkiogtund to our de- beatares. The Government has not only sold the debentures and speat the monty but it has siso epent the sinkiog fund which by |av was to be set aside for the redemption ef those debentures at the expirat.on of the term of years for which they were issued.

Mr. Farqubarson here rose to @ poin. ot order aud said that they were used to re~ duce the balaace sgainst us at the baoks.

Mr. Shaw resuming, said: It is our eoutention tuat the sinking fund 1s spent, eod | aw glad thatthe Premier has ad mitted the fact. Proseeding, he pointed ont that Jast year they attempted to sell debenturea and wrote to parties with whom they had similar transactious in the past, and also to parties abroad, but they were unsble to eellthem. What wil] the re- sult be when tne capitalists find that the Government has preved false to the previsions of the debenture bill by spend- ing the sinkiag fund that was set aside for the redemption ef those debeutures? I want this statement te go tethe people, said Mr. Shaw, that whilet they thought that after 25 years the sinking fund 'weuld pay ef the debt thus costracted we are oot one ceut nearer having it paid off by the sinkieg fund referred to than the day the debentures were issued. I wish now to point owtto this Hou3e the finaneial condition of this Province, apart from the fact that they run the Proving? behindhand last year to the alarming extent of $36,- 226.03 sod sotwithstanding that they ob- tained taxes amounting to $55,677 68. Let us look atour Provincial debt. Ou 3lat December ast they owed :—

When we fied that the Public Works Department has paid out $55,868 since the first of the year notwithstanding the fact that uo roads have been repaired or bridgea built it 1# manifest that they carried over at least $30,000 frem last year. We fiod tha:cur debt on the'jirat of the year was at least $600,008.

Mr. A. A. MeLean, who followed Mr. Shaw, criticised the budget speech of the Leader. The indebtedness ef che province, ke cleimed, was fully $600,000, instead ef $500.000 as stated by the Leader of the Goveramens. They had borrowed on debentures to the inne of $200,000 whice had been put ia with or- dinsry revenue. Wede not know who holds the debentures. The act under which the debentures were issued provides that a sinking fued of 14 per cent be eet aside each year to meet the dedentures. Aceording to tbe Publie Ac- counts ealy $4,000 altogether has beem provided for these debemtures, BOtwithstanding (he statemeat of the Audi- tor thatthe Sinking Fuad is $16,630.30. It has beem shown that $11,030.30 of that sum does net exist. He thought the Gove ernment sbould act honestly by the peaple. Tae Goverament claims, by ihe Auditer’s Report, thet there is $11,030.30 in the Merchants Bauk ow call. But thie claim tur.s out to be incorreet. He was sorry

to have to bring thie matter up. The Previncial Auditer is ® man of high standing, but notwith- starding the fact that the Public

accounts submitted to the House show that there is a sinking fund, the statement laid on the table by the Auditor om the 23rd of May, instant, shows thst that fund is nowin the Merchants Bank of Halifax on call, and the Premier, ia ex- planation of the latter s#tatement, states that the fund was taken by him to reduce the amount duethe Banks and to cave the payment of interest to the bank on overdraft. The statement of the Leader ie one thathe should have been ashe med to make. The Leader stated that the money had been used, implying that $11,C00 was used to cut down the balance atthe banks. There were many questions on the order beok asking f r the bank statement, but it had not been tabled. This information is public property, yetit is withheld. What has the iliness of Mr, Newbery to do with the transaction ? The statement could be easily obtained at the

|sene oil is supplied at 1545 cents,

fear te produce the statement as it might show other inaccuracies im the accounts. From the 3ist December to the 25th Mar, a time when there is very little money required to be spent on publie works, $55,868 was paid out br the Cemmissiener of Public Works. If this expenditure is continued it will not be less than $110,000 this year im that one department, as the speuding season is only now on. Butthe $55,000 to which he had made reference was pot all spent this year. He believed that much of it had beem carried over from last year, and included road orders used im connec- tion with the Belfast aad Murray Harbor electio.s, orders which had been given away wiibeut Ose centot a return. He (Mr McLean) would prove this at the pro- per time. They spent in al) during the last fiye wonths $135,130. This is the statement of the Provincia) Audtor..The Leader admits that the deficit next year will be $6,000. But ‘t will be nearer $100,000. There is $42,000 to be paid for unfiaished contracts. Their own figures indicate thatatheir statements are not correct. The Leader seems anxious to take credit to himeclf for feeding the inmatesof the Asylum and Poor House— ata less cost than the previous Govern- ment. But that is nothisg to credit. The investigation

The poisonous stuff would permeate the build- ing and impair the heaith of the iumates. The Governinevt has beea in power nine Years aud nothing bes been done to keep .*, the building in repair. The trustees claim that every time they go out te the asylum they should be paid for it. But if the Government do not wish to do what is right in this regard jet them give over the reins to those who will attend to their duty. Under the Sallivan Govira- ment. Geo. R.
