HON. MR. MCINTYRE

Resumlllg the debate yesterday morning Hon. J. P. McIntyre, “mister of Public Works, coin-

rcd the Conservative platform of

1901 with the Liberal platform of was, On ordinary road expendi- ture last year, he said, the Lib- srals had expended $200,000 as against an expenditure of $358,000 in i935. In addition they had made a saving of $17,000 last year, ln- cluding saving in govcmment ven- dors’ expenses in Charlottetown, Alberton and Montague. The pre- sent government had also effected mnomies by calling for tenders for supplies for Falconwood. etc. All departments had been kept within their estimates, as thc Public Accounts would show, Mr McIntyre said.

Liberal pledges, he maintained, hm been kept with regard m economy in road maintenance.

Also “carried out to the letter" had been the promise to enforce impartially all laws, especially tilose with regard to drunken driv-

. In every case where he, Mr. Milntyro, had gone to the Attorney General, the latter had refused to interfere in such cases and had oaid the law must take its course.

Jail prisoners had been put to work on farms with beneficial re- lultl, the Minister continued. They had also been taken out of the Prince County Jail to shovel snow on the highway. _ Another Liberal pledge had been to assist the fishermen. A start ms made in this direction by the federal-provincial loan policy. It was late in the season before the loan Board was established and the fishing season was almost over before the equipment was in the hands of the fishermen; but they will benefit greatly. this year ll s rasult, Mr. McIntyre believed.

The Dominion Government was llsoadvertising extensively in the interests of the fishery industry, for which purpose $200,000 had been provided by Parliament last year. If our people could be in- duced w spend 40 ccnts more per cspita on fish pcr weck, it would increase our fishery revenues t0 the amount of $20,000,000.

The fishermen had been hard hit in thc last two years, due to the poor lobster catch, and the D001‘ prices for mackerel and smclts. Last year, too, the oyster disease had struck thc East River fishery with bad results.

Ill the dricd Codfish industry, Newfoundland hnd got ahead of us wme years ago by getting reduced steamer rates which cut out the Nova Scotia. trade to Brazil. This disadvantage has bccn rightcd and this your the Fconomic Council of Nova Scotia succeeded in getting the same freight ratcs from Nova Bcotia to Brazil as Newfoundland has been enjoying for thc past. six years. This concession Mr. Mc-

111ivre believed will bcnefit thc Maritimcs generally. The Government. he admitted.

llfhllfltl made in i928. Next year ,lllf,‘.<£ bonds will fall clue and hi) -, wn: informed by thc Auditor that ‘ tilcre will be $102,000 in the sink- ing fund to meet this obligation.

He contrasted this “business-like 111911100" with the Conservative procedure in construction of the Charlottetowli-Summersidc high- way. That. was a highway in which he “did not have too much confidence." It had not, he claim- cd, been properly sub-graded and it was liable to go to pieces be- cause of the lack of a firm gravel foundation. This he contrasted with the Rustico highway which he cited as a fine example of road construction.

The Charlottelown-sumrnerside highway, he contended, was “on the same principle as the South- port highway" which fell to pieces last year."

The “McIntyre Highway“, the Minister said, had been severely criticised in press in i931, but the chickens came home to roost on the South- port highway, which last year cost $9,000 to repair and which this year was even worse than the dirt roads. "In another year doubt if you will see one foot of highway there," he said. _

The people everywhere were clamoring for more hardsurfaccd roads but if they want these roads they must be prepared to pay for them, Mr. McIntyre declared. He would not be a. party to any Gov- ernment borrowing "another mil- lion or two million dollars" for hard surfaced roads without proper sinking fund provision. We do not want to be in the position of Newfoundland. "If the people want more hardsurfaced roads I would say. by all means go ahead

returned

and pay two more ccnts a gallon on gasoline." Already we were paying $400,000

on sinking funds and interests.

"I am not saying we are 8°- lng to launch into any 11110813111111? of hardsurfaccd roads,” the Min- ister concluded. “We want to sec how the Rustico highway will stand up. But if we do make these roads let us sec. that we make provision to retire the bonds at maturity with a 2 cents extra tax on gasoline, and not place a bur- den on our children to come after us."

HON. B. W. LEPAGE

Hon. B. W. LePage, ‘President of the Executive Council, was the ncxt speaker. He said he trust- ed he would acquit himself witn some degree of credit as Govern- mcnt represcnintive at the Corona- tion, to which he was looking for- ward as one of thc great events of his life. _

Dcniing with thc fishery indus- try, Mr. LcPngc citcd the work of the Loan Board of which he was chrlrlnan, in administering loans last year to thc cxtollt of $50,000. We iluve hcrc about 3,000 fisher- men representing some 15.000 i190- pic who are dependent on the in- dustry. Previous governments oi both parties had been negligent in assisting the fishermen, hc said.

Saunders, Newscm 6r 00., the oldest wholesale and retail meat firm in the Province, has been newly painted and decorated and presents a» very fine appearance y and an air of cleanliness which i will be very pleasing to many citiz- ens who will visit this stand on Good Friday. .

Having had their pick of all the fine stock fed on the fann of 5t. Dunstan’; University, they expect to be showing four of the finest

City this Easter. Among the other carcasses to be shown will be one HeITer, Baby Beef, fed by Otis MacLeod. of Uigg, who is recogniz- ed as the outstanding feeder of Baby Beef 1n the Province. Also, another carcass of Baby Beef, a Steer, fed by Kenneson MacKinnon, of Clyde River, who has produced many fine carcasses o1 Easer Beef.

and the merchants had co-opcrat- 0d satisfactorily in the Board's activities.

He had full confidence that the greater part of the loans would be repaid to the Government, Mr. LePagc said.

The Boardalso undertook, with the approval of the Federal and Provincial Governments, to in- vestigate the scallop fishery pos- sibilities. They found that practi- cally from East Point to George- town there were scallop bcds that should prove very profitable if developed.

While the present policies arc of some benefit. our fishermen

ance than they are receiving. Mr. LePage admitted. Proper build- ings, proper assistance in process- ing and marketing, should do away with the need of providing direct relief to fishermen. What is needed is co-operation. Groups of fishermen must be induced r0 Drocess their product in onc building under Government ervlsion. The Gordon Pew peo- ple last year had put up‘ 100 car loads of what is known as fish- cakes. Here was one example of what could be done to give em- ployment and provide far-kn and fishery markets in this Province.

Mr. LePage said the Mt. Car- mel Fisheries had applied to the Board for a. $1,000 loan, which

and which enabled them-to mar- kct_their fish themselves in the American market. They able to repay the loan, with in- terest in a. month's time.

The Tignfsh Fisheries had also

obtained a loan on the same terms.

These concerns were not applying for relief but were glad t0 take fadvantage of the Board's low in- terest rates.

Companies thus assisted were paying t.o fishermen from $1 to $4 per 100 lbs. over the rates paid by outside concerns. In all, loans have been made to six companies. lVLr. LcPage had not thc lcast doubt but that these companies, at least, would repay the full amounts borrowed.

The Board had taken up the question of obtaining a federal official to superintend fish pro- cessing and marketing in the Pro- vince, and he had hopes that this request would be granted.

With regard to the economic survey now under way under his direction, Mr. LcPage said there wcrc many difficulties arid thc. public might be expecting morc results than they are likely to secure. He referred to the recent visit of Mr. Lathe, of the Na- tional Research Council, Ottawa, and mentioned the possibilities in growing of cranberries alld other small fruits.

Mr. Lathe had stated, other things that the

The Government had also work- crl zealously with the poultry [up nlcrs. Finding that they were not, succeeding in the way they hoped,

‘they decided to turn from the , adult farmer to the young peuplg ‘and had offcrcd to the boy and {girl clubs of thc Island, to pay . part of the cost of baby chicks, to lliart the club work. On these l terms they paid $4.00 per hundred ‘for distribution among clubs. “We .fclt it was a vcry worthy under- , takinr: and were favorably impress- _ c v. h the results, though the low price paid for poultry during last season was soniclvhat discourag- ling," Mr. Dcnnisusaid. "Neverthe- less thc Government felt that there ‘is a bigger thing in undertakings lof this kind, tilan the amount of ‘cash obtained. If we have in-

culcatcd in the minds of the ‘young a. love for farm husbandry, a lfllflffiCy to carve out for them- selvcs a career on the land, then such an achievement cannot be dollars and cents.

During the past year 88,060 birds were in- specicd, and from this number2l,- 1'74 birds were set aside as not be- ing productive. This meant a considerable saving to the farmers.

be used for recreation. bathing and health resorts for the public. Those would have been within the reach of all and in my humble opinion would have been better for this province and would have been more appreciated by our people if public roads could have been opened up for short distan- ces from the main highway to those shady nooks and public beaches that are enjoyed and ad- mired by ail who have had an opportunity of visiting them. But we accept the National Park as ft is and. as citizens of this province it becomes our duty to make the best we can of it, and I believe it will be an enjoyment to many. It wilLalso be an incentive to our neighbors in the mainland tovisit us, a stimulent to our tourist traf- fic and I really believe it to be something that will be profitable to our province.

"The carferry from Wood Island to Nova Scotia. I think is endorsed by almost all broad-minded busi- uess men and farmers throughout the province-micro especially in that section of Prince Edward Is- land which will reap the most benefit from the opening up of this new route to connect our pro- vince with the mainland.

"The Road Act with the amend-

ments to the same which is con-

ltemplated by the Government will iI believe givc to the province a lvery efficient instrument to carry

on the administration of its pol-

‘ icy in regard to road maintenance

and budding.

“The public expenditure of the province throughout the year has been very generous. Our contri- butions from the Federal Govem- ment have not been as high as they should have been, but Mr. Speaker for those sums of money which have been paid to the pro- vince we, as a pcopic, are very

grateful. If thc Federal Govern-..

ment understood the conditions in this province and what is best calculated to build it up—to make it prosperous and ilappy-then it should assist substantially our Provincial Government in assist- ing the farming population of the Island by providing that the fer- tility of the soil should be intelli- gently though rapidly brought up to the highest possible standard of production. Then our people would go on buying from the in- creased revenue. thereby creating employment and adding to the pmlcrul prosperity of Canada.
