Aiter the minutes oi‘ the last meetings had been read and the bills that had been paid confirmed, and the relief bills ordered paid, the City Clerk read a letter from the free Dispensary committee. The letter asked that the present grant of $150 by the city be increased to 8300. The "letter called attention to the de- crease in amount of collections and pointed out the need for additional funds to car on the work.‘ The primary lune on of the dispensary is to supply medicine to the poor on the orders of a doctor. $200.00 was also spent to provide groceries for those absolutely in want.

the election would be held when the government considered it had a. good chance of being returned to power. The present Parliament will die a legal death Aug. 1B— five years from the return of the writs for the 1930 election. But Mr. Guthrie remember " the ad- vice oi’ a Liberal stalwart of the pest: “The time to go to the coun- try is when you can win." Then, he added: “That, I think has been the gulldixlg 11s ciple at every dis- solution and it is because we think we can win when we go, that we are going." " “m. Lapointe argued for a short recess so the work of Parliament could be expedited and the elec- tion hastened. For instance, two important pieces of legislation would remain high and dry-min- imum wages and the grain board. Other items irl the government's reform legislation would remain stranded in the Senate.

It would be "extraordinary pre- sumption," said the former Minis- ter of Justice. for the government to adjourn Parliament for five weeks while tu employment eacisted throughout the country and noth- ing had been done to relieve it. The government, he claimed, had lost the confidence of the people: it was suffering from senility and paralysis. A long adjournment would be only a sleeping powder for a dying patient.

Canada should be represented at London by the Prime Minister, Mr. Lapointe agreed. but in the mean- time, Parliament could continue.
