Civic Relief Situation

A grave situation has arisen in connection

cil on Tuesday night. It seems that on January 23 last-—nearly two weeks ago——the Treasury Board assumed unto itself the powers of ‘gov- ernment and passed a minute having all the impress of an order-in-council, stipu- lating that the Government would pay to the City $3,000 for the months of January, February and March for direct unemployment relief provided the City in each of the said months contributed $4,500. With the Federal and Provincial Governments each paying onc-

year, the City's disbursements for its unemploy- ed amounted to $36,000. By thel Treasury Board regulation of Jan. 23, Charlottetowrfs relief costs would be almost twice as high in i I936 as they ivere last year. The civic accounts

deficit-of nearly $48,000. As it was consider- ed impossible to meet the increased demands im- posed by-the Provincial Government, a resolu-

Government order-in-council can be made, the City would be forced to discontinue entirely any l further relief after the 15th of February.

As was expected, and even planned before the funeral of the laie Premier LEA, Mr. Holmclz VVRIGHT has been selected to run as Government candidate for the Fourth District. Biit he is not going to have a ivzllkover. Many Liberals arenot satisfied either with the choice or the way it was engineered, and are planning to run an independent Liberal in opposition.

A deficit of $47,834.44 in the City's revenue over its expenditure is a serious matter, none the less serious because there are $1 i2,9i9.3o of un- paid faxes and $13,019.99 ‘of unpaid sidewalk assessments.

CHARLOTTETOWN VS. ST. PETERSBURG

P-m- "

Hero is an extract from a iecent lsue of the 5t. Petersburg Times: "When we first knew St. Peters- burg it had 1500 people and three saloons. But it never was a saloon town and a few years later one had petered out and then there were two. Those two were in the some block, as well onducled as could be by men who stood well in the communliy. and having a mon- opoly they prospered financially. But they could not handle the goods of every distillery, so each yell-r some‘ legal representative of other dlsll1ler!es'would ask to be grant- ed o. 1ioen:e for another saloon, and thsy would be refused. And each year the d’stl1lery interests would threaten to have the courts mandamus the City dads and com- pel them to grant a license. And each year the City Council would invite them to go to it. white s. local option election would be held and s11 liquor traffic; whatever would be voted oilt. And the said distillery interests backed off and left things as they were.

And if today the liquor interests think they can through court pro- cedure. dictate CYJSIIIQ hours for the City o.‘ st. Petersburg, let them go to lt-snd as surely as an election can be held all liquor sell- ing places of every kind will be banned in the city." Well done “dads" of St. Peters- burgh. But they could not "go to it" like that if the morale of St. Potersburg was not for, far shove that of our poor rum selling city. It is clear rum is not want/ed by the "Sunny City" class of tourists.

Bin-Looking at things from the outside, one cannot help wondering why our Premier has not lined up beside Premier Dyssrt. of New Brunswick on behalf of Maritime interests in regard to the suggested abandoning of the god old B.
