the year 1919, as it had been in previous years. Bu! strangely cntiuph, it “'11s only up to September, when the Lib rails‘ took ovcr the rcim of Government. And that period, front September l0 1hr cud of ihc ymr, liar remained unaudited, so far as 4w Olll-tftlv

uudil is runcrmtctl.

During thc scssion 0f 1920 thc Public Accounts CGMIIIIIIBC

look cognizance of this tunission. "fhcy took ihc only course opcn

to thcm; ihcy nskctl thc Provincial Auditor to make an audit

nlo11gtl1c lincs previously followed by ihc External Auditor. I11

compliance with that request and in thc course of his dutics, 1111-

dcr examination by thc Public Accounts Committee, the Provincial

Auditor prepared and completed that statement, which was pre - scutctl to the Public Accounts Conunittcc. and is on record on the lourtmls 0f this House. And it is from that source that I obtained thc figures from which I have just quoted.

Lct us take these figures for the whole eight year period. When thc Liberal Conservative Government came in, the liabilities wcrc 551908.000; and when they went out, according to this audit, they were $1,721,000, or an increase in eight years of $113,000.

You 111:t_v say that is not :1 vcry good showing; ‘but we must Te- tncmhcr tl1c facts I have already stated in regard to the outbrebk of thc (irent “For. That is probably a britvr record than could be rhorwl by any G01l¢1‘lll7i['llf 1111 any cir/illscd country during lhaf brrlml . (Applause)

‘INEXOUSABL! NEGLIGENCE AT YALCONWOOD

l will give one or two instances of this. We have recently had a report of the splendid conditions at Falconwood Hospital. The Faloonwood institution, as you know, is one of the biggest spending departments of the Hovincial Government. It costs a great deal of money, and we have recently heard the boast of the splendid conditions in which this Government found the institution. Well, in ccrtnitt ways we did find Falconwoofi Hospital in good order. \Ve found that part in good order which is managed by the of- ficials who are there, and who perform their kiutics well no mat- ter what Government is in power; but whcrc it came to the gen- crai tipkecp, to matters which rested upon the Government to per- form or neglect, we found NOT performance but NEGLECT. (1)110 of the. departments of that institution which costs the greatest expenditure is the plant which provides thc heat and power. It is :1 large and elaborate and expensive jilant, the-central part of that plant blcing three large steam boilers. What was the condi» tion i11 which we found them? I hlave taken the trouble to gct a written report from the engineer in charge at that time; this rlc- port can be produced if necessary, and it is to thisxfiectr- One of those boiler: zvas completely out of order and during the early par! f-llw season had been completely burned out by neglect.

The whole pIa-ut was being run on one boiler that tvas known to be not in the best condition, thalwaa in c011- llmunrr use and had Io bcar the whole burden- of supplying power to the inslillrltiorx, rvhcn, '1'! 1011s liable to break down any minute. You will understand thc seriousness of the situation at the institu- tion if such a thing should happen. We came into power in Sep- tember nnd found that facing us. Not only would there be no heat in case of an accident to this one boiler in use, but there would be 110 light, and 11o water, because the whole system depends on that plant. Two boilers were installed and paid for by this Government. In addition tlicrc was a great deal of ncocssary brick-laying. Prac-

Ihr liabilities of this Province had iucrrarrd and passed lin- million 11ml a half mark, and rmrlzvd $1.575.000. In other ‘words, ihaf during} their four _\'l’dl' pcfiotl, they had iurreasrd thc liabilities of I/w Prozducc $454,000, or an ar/crugr of 11.1 much 1'11 one your as ihc Cousvrzlalitlrs in right years. And these are thc persons who say that thc L7o11servativcs are responsible for thc liabilities of the. Pro- vince at thc present time! (Applause) -

'I‘hcrc is nuothcr way in which this mutter may bc lookccf at. In some respects the liabilities of thc Province may bc only :1 rc- lntivc term. When a man in lmsiucss incurs liabilities 11nd crcatcp assets that over-balance his liabilities, we speak fuvorzrbly of his financial condition. If, on mé other hnnd, hc has crcntctl liabilities and i11 doing so ltas not produced nsscts, thcu we (lcscribc his finan- cial condition i11 another way. Lct us apply that rule to tl1c periods of government concerning which I hztvc spoken. and lct us zmztlyzc thc records 0f thc two pnrtics. and sec which 0f those par- ties has produced during their respective tcrms of officc the greater zuuouut of assets in proportion to thc linhilitics incurred. I shall not go buck beyond 191 I ; I shnll tukc thc eight year period of C011- scrvntivt: government and compnrc it with thc mOfc rcccnt four vcnr pcriod 11f Lihcrul government. During thc right ycnr period of Coirscrvntivc govcrniiicnl. lliill Government spcut n11 pcrmzurctil works; works constructed in this Proiucc consisting of steel lwidgor; and other permanent structures.

Strbtrztct thc lztttcr llgttrcs and you will get thc amount which thc Conservatives wcrc to the good in thc cight vcnr pcrlod,——ucnrly $200,000. "

_ Lcr mc citc mtothcr ’i11st"a11cc.——one of several. ‘ I11 this vcry Provincial Btulding we received a. report from their janitor (up- pointcd under the IJlbCTZll Govcrluucttt) ‘thzvt the building was not in n condition to go through ihc winter, it was so badly in uccd 0F repair. \Vc had thc building examined, and thc report we rc- cefwcd confirmed the jzmitofs report. The building was in such :1 comlitiou that if allowed, to continue it would be pcnnancntly in- jured- lVhnt a condition for lhir fine old building, ihc home of lhix Legislature for over a cmlllnjv, to full into llml dildpidnlvr! slalr for ‘nraul of hrrc-frnrjl rcpairzr! All these ithings had to l1c donc, and they cost morc money bccnttse they hurl bce11 itcglcctcd in order to provide a “surplus” in 1923——1if possible. (Arpplztlistx)

It will be said, and it has =bcc11 said, that of course tl1e Liberal Conservative Govcrnuietit are responsible for the (lcficit of 1923. In vicw of thcsc facts as I have stated thcm, that thc rcveuuc and expenditure wcrc both provided for us, mid uudcr the conditions I have outlined, and which wc found more or less i11 cvcry dc- parlmcut, I submit that the responsibility for this deficit must rest where it belongs, on thc Government who lcft the conditions as we found thcm 11nd framed thc policy of rcvcnuc and cxpcndlturc for the ycur 1923.

Thcu there is another matter which I will just rcfcr to in pass- ing. These expenditures which I have mentioned came to us as the legacy fr0n1 our prddeccssors, as part of their policy, But
