"It is an historic fact." Mr. Darby noted. "that no geologic

"We see no reason why federal facilities and personnel should not now be engaged in such a survey. Their services are avail- able and we should press for ini- niediote action. I believe the Federal Department of Iiidustry and Resources would be glad to co-operate.

WEDNESDAY

steps to "clean-up" the situation. The Premier stated that the matter would be drawn to the attention of the Attorney General to take nec- essary action.

He was congratulated on bring-, ing the subject before the House by Dr. W. J. P. MacMillan who said the petition, signed by a large number of organizations and service clubs, was a non-sectarian appeal design- ed to aid the youth of the Province. He said that members of the Legis- lature frequently devoted much of their time to matter dealing with physical fitness and they could take some of the time to help strength- en the minds of the young people being poisoned by the literature complained about.

Baker, Prince Edward Island Minister of Agrli-ultuiie, ar- rived in Ottawa today to take part in the Dominion-Provincial conference of Ministers of Agri- culture on foot and mouth dis- easc arranged by Federal Agricul- ture Minlsicr Gardiner. to start tomorrow. As yet no agenda has been drafted for the parley, but it is expected that Mr. Gardiner will solicit opinions from his op- posite numbers in the Provinces not only on disease of animals but on the overall picture of the Can- iltlifln livestock industry. ,

Mr. Baker, who spent some time today with J. Watson MncNauglit, Liberal member for Prince, said Prince Edward Island is keenly interested in the conference and in the general welfare of the iii- dusiry. lie recalled that the Prov- ince he represents has enjoyed an

Despite the extra revenue the Province received last year the Government increased the liabilit- ies greatly, Mr. R. H. Bell. Leader of the Opposition. said last night as he rose to resume the debate on the Budget. He had hoped this year that the Provincial Treasurer would bring in a Budget which bore some semblance to a balanced one, but the people were disap- pointed again.

He said the Government had created a record of increasing liabilities more in a 12-months period than any Government ever before it. And this, he added, des- pite the highest revenues the Province had ever received.

Mr. Bell remarkcd that with the presentation of the estiiriates each year it looked like a cut and dried matter. ”Tlils is what we expect to get and here is what we expect to spend." However, he said, we find that there are differences nmouiiiiiilz to hundreds of thous- ands of dollars and the only ex- cuse of the Government is that

Breaking out about 4 o'clock at .the rear of the building on the second floor of the central sec- tion of the U-shaped structure the fire gained headway speedily and spread along the ceiling and roof of the main portion of the three storey frame building.

Firemen waged a bitter strug- gle against the stubborn blaze and it was some two and a half hours later that it was announced "un- der control."

The building was made up of it apartments, all of which were oc- cupied. It housed in all 35 peo- ple. No estimate could be given of the personal loss suffered by residents.

Seven of the 14 apartments were completely gutted. some of the apartments on the north wing escaped fire damage but suffered from smoke and water. A new wing, presently under construc- tion. on the south side was un-

Premier Jones asked him if the Mayor approved and the reply was that since the Mayor does not vote Mr. Martin could not tell his position on the matter of- ficially. However, he thought Mayor .1. D. Stewart was in favor of it as a. future measure. "The only thing is he personally refuses to enter into an office on a low salary and then raise it while in office."

The highly controversial provoked a great deal of with nearly all members taking part. There were many who dis- approved of the proposal and ex- pi-used their opinions strongly in opposing it. However, most mem- bers thought that the naming of a committee to completely invest- igate it would not involve the Province nor commit it to any course of action.

The Minister told the members that the conditions of fifty years ago did not prevail today any more than those of today would apply ten years from now. He said that the House could not af- ford to give a snap Judgment as
