Jerspent 3370.000." said Mr. John A. MacDonald when he re- sumed the debate on the Budget address in the Legislature yes- terday. "This would be enough to pave the road from Elmira to Wood Islands." he added.

Continuing Mr. MacDonald said. "when the Trans-Canada High- way was started. Prince and Kings County were assured that they would receive additional road work to compensate for the amount being spent on the major project."

Hon. Mr. Maclflnnon: "You will be surprised when I show you that you got more than your share."

Mr. MacDonald: "That is not what the report shows. I must appeal to the Minister on a mat- ter ol late roadwo it being clone in the Third District. I find that in many parts this work was continued for too late in the sea- son and people do not take kindly to such procedure. shale is not standing up nearly so well as gravel. and in many places sec- tions of the road so treated be- come very greasy and danger- ous."

Speaking about contracts, Mr. MacDonald said. ”There is an-

Mrs. Marjorie Johnston. district Deputy President of Acme Re- bekah Lodge, spoke briefly, and Brother William MICLQEII also ad- dressed the meeting.

Contracts

other point with regard to Public works and Highways that I would like to refer to and that is the spending of money by varloul

from the government. As you look through the Department of Public Works and Highway! H- port you will notice that contracts are given there for sub-gradlnl and you could add up the cus- tracts for gravslling and so on but you will notice that they are very nicely divided among the various companies involved. You know their names as well as I do. I am not going to name them off but there are live or six oi them and it looks like a little closed corporation monopoly. They get so many contracts and they all amount roughly about the same and I hope that the govern- ment is not getting in the grill of these contractors. I know that down our way they say If you want to get something go and see so and so. he happens to be one of the big contractors.

”Of course very often they are tied in very strongly with the politicians and I do hope that they are not getting control of the government. One feature I might bring to your attention in regard to one contracting firm - one member oi that firm brought the honourable Premier into the dis- trict which he now represents and the other member oi the firm brought the honourable Provincial Treasurer into our district."

Mr. Matheson: "You are a great romancer."

Mr. MacDonald: "Well, it is true. Mr. Speaker."

Mr. Matheson: "Prove it."

Mr. MacDonald: "We can draw

our own conclusions."

Mr. Clark: ”What do you mean by being tied up with the poll- ticians? That is a statement you should be able to prove."

Mr. MacDonald: "I was saying. Mr. Speaker. that one member of the firm brought one man into Murray Harbor district and the other man brought . . . ."

Mr. Maiheson: "You are ab- solutely wrong. When you make a statement like that you should prove it and you can't. I chal- lenge you."

Mr. MacDonald: "Dd I have to get the newspaper reports?"

Mr. Maiheson: ”You prove it. Get anything you like."

Mr. MacDonald: "We go on a little further and -find that the member of that contracting firm of course is I-lresidcnt of the County Federtaion and I am sure Mr. Speaker we don't think that the way those men behave dur- ing election time that they haven't got a little influence on

going to say a little but s great deal."

. Mr. Clark: "How do you sug- gest they behsve at election

time?" Mr. MacDonald: "You should know." Mr. Clark: "How should I know?" Mr. MacDonald: "I think the

Minister may agree' with me that this is a sore subject apparently with the government. that a sav- ing of 25 per cent could be made by having the government do its own work. Now as we all know these men have to make a profit and generally they do make a handsome profit and I don't think the Minister will disagree with me on that, that the government could do this work cheaper and we might eliminate a lot of these people and save the province a lot of money."

Hon. Mr. MacDonald: "You are in favor of doing away with ten- ders7"

Mr. M.acDonsld: "Not all toget- her. I think the Minister has ex- pressed himself on that and I think the government would be saving a lot of money if they did a lot more of the work by gov- ernment machihery and not giv- lng it out to tender."

Mr. MacDonald criticized the Government in not getting its agreement. regarding the Dis- abled Person's Act finalised soon- er. He quoted from a Canadian Press dispatch which stated that the agreement with the Federal Government in the Province of New Brunswick had been signed last December and that cheques have been going out since Jan- uary.

A word of warn was sound- ed by George Sa e (L. Fifth Kings) to the Department of in- dustry in its selection of areas for the promotion of processing plants in Province. "Care should be exercised in the estab- lishment of such plants. It would be bad to have a new plant in competition with one which had been established for years." Mr. Seville was speaking on-the Bud- get debate in the Iagislature yes- terday aiternoon. , 9

Continuing Mr. Savilie said that the processing plant should not necessarily be situated in the villages. ”It should be close to the source of raw material." he added. "This would give a man a chance not only to grow the material but would provide work for him at the plant."

The member from the George- town District spoke of the Gra- ham family who are running a lobster cannery at Graham's Pond. "It would surprisexmost people to know that this factory handles the catch of 150 boats and they put up the best beans that are canned in this country."

Mr. Saville Discusses Government Assistance To Processing Plants'

and Mr. Seville. "I certainly would not like to see a process- ing plnnt near these people. We want to have a balanced system. so that the largest number of people throughout the Province will benefit without injury to any- one.”

Mr. Saville noted with r ret that a great many lobster ac- tories had closed down in pro- ference to selling live lobsters to the buyers. He felt that this was A mistake since many peoltli were deprived of employment. He urged the fishermen to take care- ful cnnsiderntion of this proced- ure in case they might find them- selves at the mercy of the buy- ers and have no alternative but to sell to them.

The Fifth Kings member ob- served that the revenue ol the Province has increased greatly during the past twenty years but that the demands upon the Government had kept pace with the increase. Nevertheless. ll! said, a great deal more remains to be done. He bad words of

praise for the method employed in making roads and said that

if roads had to be IA:

its is a big improvement over twenty years ago." said Mr. Sa- ville, "and I feel that the Min- ister will do all in his power to see that it will progress.
