Construction pro- jects will be es numerous as in the year 1948, they continued. Two or three new buildings of considerable siu are to be built in the city. and there are a large number of private homes on the construction list. It is believed that by the middle of May the few trades- men wtio are now out of work will be fully employed and that a Large number of laborers will also be at fairly steady work. National Employment officials said that the number of people drawing benefits in King's and Queen's Counties. and including the city of Charlottetown. totalled about. 1.100. These figures were about I00 higher than those of the corresponding date e. year ago. Employment officials report that the increase is possibly due to the fact that the public are becoming more aware of their benefit rights under the Unemployment Insurance Act. and more inclined to file claims when out of work. The Employment people point out that it is usual at this time of the year to have large numbers of people temporarily out of work. Such a situation has probably. existed every year since the Island eves a Pro- vince. The people out of work are those who are habitually employed in seasonal activities, such as con- struction work and other seasonal lines of endeavour. The National Employment officials also stressed that those people though out of work were quite an asset to the Province ln-as-much as they con- stitute z stand-by force available when construction work increases in the spring; when farming activity recommences, and when road work'and many other labour lobs crop up. If this body of people were not on tap when need- ed dilring the peak of employment in the spring. summer and fall, the Province would feel their loss very much indeed. Labourers constitute by far the greatest. proportion of those un- employed. Skilled tradesmen form I- V"? verY small part of those on the rolls. The number of claimants usual- ly starts to decline about the first of March and steadily decreases until mid-summer. The National Employment Office people believe that by the third W991‘ in Mil’. the number of claimants will be reduced by more dhen 50%. f Stresses Need for NewSnow-Removal Equipment llere Lt. Col. J.D. Stewart, chairman of the City Streets Committee, wants to see modern snow-remov- al equipment in Charlottetown. ‘The city of Charlottetown ha: not the equipment "to cope ade. qlla-tely with such storms as we have experienced within the part week", stated the councillor. “Our main piece of machinery was w. lglmlly J-un-ked by the govern- ment and eventually fixed up by the dty." Councillor Stewart recently wit- vimsed demonstrations of the most modern snow-removal equipment while on a visit to Montreal, He believes Charlottetown is fertilit- ate in having convenient squares and wliarvel as dumping piece. for mow. This would mrrn .'. short haul of not more than four blodrs for the trucks ha; swpy the snow.

WORK FOIL TRUCKMEN-It. la indeed an ill wind that. blows no- body any good. P. E. I. truckers had little work this winter until the snow came. Now, according to Mr. Riussel McIntyre, president of the Truckers’ Association, there's work a-plenty. Albhotuh most of the trucks are storm-stayed in the country districts, there are some 25 available in the city for immediate snow-removal. At pres- ent some twenty tnickmen, who are members of the Association, are working in the city with the railroad, the City and for private citizens. ACCEPTS NEW POST-IMI‘.

C., March 3—-(CP) -—-A comple.e investigation of food distribution in British Columbia was urged in the Legislature to- day by Agriculture Minister Frank Putnam. He said there should be a thor- ough investigation to determine the spread between what the farm- er receives for his product and what the public pays. "There is a general tendency on the part of the consuming public to blame the high cost of living on the farmer," he said. "Statements are made that farmers are reaping excessive profits. Nothing ie fur- ther from the truth." He criticized packing houses. Wholesale price of beef in Victoria dropped 25 per cent in the last two months. but there was no commen- surate decllne in retail prlcel.

Echoes - of c Jweive-years-old controversy over expropriation of lands for the National Park were heard yeowrday when Premier Jones moved the mgialature into committee on a bill which entitles the Provincial Treasurer to an order directing the Registrar of the Court of Chancery to for- ward cheques to certain parties to w-hom money has been paid into the Court, and who have default- ed in making application for pay- Hlenli. Premier Jones explained that two or three parties whose lands hurl been taken under the National Park Act. had not claimed the money paid them into the Chan- cery Court, and it‘ is drawing in- terest there. "I got the impres- sion in conversation with some of them that they didn't even know the money was there,” he said. "So I thought it well to tender them the money with interest." Mr. R. R. Bell said that some of the farmers had not been satisfied when their lands were expropriated for National Park purposes. An assessment was made under the Act and the Provincial treasurer paid the money into the Court of Chancery. "Quite a number have withdrawn their money, but some never have although I don't think there is any doubt about them knowing that the money is there, because there was a good deal of publicity given to it at the time," he said. "I don't see why the Gov_ ernment should be anxious to get clear of these two or three ac- counts. There is other money in the Chancery Court, for a longer time." Mr. Dougald MacKii-inon said the money was accumulating at 4 per cent compound interest, at the ex- pense of the Province, and the sooner it was cleared up the bet- ter." Refused Payment Mr. D. l’... Mathieson: "As I re- call. this money was placed there originally because of an Act which did not provide compensation ex- cept by order of the Executive Council, and a good many people were dissatisfied with the expropri- ation. As a result, several people, including some of the farmers on the North Shore, simply refused to take the money out of the Court. They were getting a 4 per cent in- vestment owmoney that was forced upon them. Why shouldn't they be allowed to leave it there if they want to? Under this provision the Government is simply forwarding them a cheque. If the man tears up that cheque. whose money is it then? Is it still on deposit?" Hon. J. A. Campbell: "The rea- son the money is there is because the money was wasted. Being a membe of the Executive at that time, I know something about the matter. There were individuals at that time that the Government couldn't deal with in any case, and the only thing they could do in the end was to put a Commission on the job. What the Government paid on the lnnd that was taken in the area of the National Park was something unreasonable entirely. l don't think that any member of this Legislature would be justified. in the interests of the taxpayers, to uphold any deal in the interests of any individual now not satis- fled." Mr. D. L. Mathieson: "On a point of order. there was no inde- pendent Commission appointed. There was no proper method of arriving at compensation, or if there was there was no means whereby anybody could appeal. It was an arbitrary assessment. The people could not go before any tri- bunal and make their own state- ments as one could rlo under the Expropriation Acts of the Domin- ion cr of any other Province. This is no doubt the reason why people are still leaving their money there; they are still unsatisfied with the ‘arbitrary action of the Govern- mont." Hon. Dr. MscMlllt-in: "I would ask the promoter, how was that as- t made?" Premier Jones: "I don't know nnything about it, except that there is money still in the Court of Chan- cery." I-Ion. Dr. MacMlllan: "How were the land vnlues arrived at?“ Premier Jones: "I don't know." Dr. MacMlllan: "You know. Was there a Commission of three men appointed to value the lands?" Premier Jones: her." "I don't remem- Politlcal Bella Dr. MacMlllan: "Was there any appeal from. the assessment made by the board." Premier Jones: “I don't know." Dr. MaclVllllan: "Wore there some parties there who were dis- satisfied with the amount allowed. and in their dissatisfaction they came to n member of this Govern- ment and got their amounts rais- ed?" Premier Jonel: "This Govern- ment had nethlng whatever to do with there matters." Dr. Maclvlilian: “You were not in power in 1936, of course: but there was a Board appointed to value the lands, and there wan y no appeal Loosen Still Joints- Eeee Sore Ieseleei You rnult remember that Nervl- ltne is not only pain-relieving, but very penetrating. ltl pain-relieving quelltlel are quickly absorbed. and they anlat in eubdulng inflamma- tion rapidly.

Chancery Court, Funds And Park Expropriations from their decision. I might go further and say that a good many of those land owners were paid ac- cording to their political beliefs- on the basis of whether" they were Liberal or Conservative." Hon. Mr. Cox: “You can go back to all that if you like. That is not the case we are dealing with to- day. If I had money invested here, why wouldn't I leave it in Court, drawing d per cent? I think the Government is doing the proper thing to clear that up. It. is all very well for the Opposition to get in some rotten old stuff, as they ai _ ways do." (Laughter). Mr. Bell: "The Government fix- ed the amount in an arbitrary fashion, and if the people didn't take it they paid it into the Chan- cery Court and left lt there. They washed their hands of the whole thing. I submit that it is not up to this Government to push that money down the people's throats should. today." Premier Jones: “If a man tears up his cheque and throws it away, we will have another way of deal- ing with him, because we don't propose to go on paying 4 per cent interest on that money." Mr, Bell : "Do you have to pre- pare an Act to tell these people that there is money in the Court for them?" Rccllll 198B Election Mr. Savllle maintained that at the general election of 1939 this was one of the issues raised by the Con- servatlves. There were indignation meetings called, but the people vot- ed very strongly in favor of the Government. "1 think that this Government can claim that that vote settled the question," he said. Mr. Phillip Mathcson: "This is just a result of bad legislation, and that type of legislation has been too frequently passed since I have been in the Opposition. We have opposed that consistently. When you exproprlated there was no rea- son in the world why you shouldn't have set up an impartial Board to deal with it, and grant right of ap- peel." Hon. J. A. Campbell; “Along our country roads they take land too, and you have no appeal." Mr. Bell: "They used to have, but the Liberal Government took it away." Hon. A. W. Mathesont “Grant- ing there was no appeal and the money was paid into Court. Now the money has been in Court over ten years. They were all assessed on a uniform acreage basis, so much for sand dunes, eic., and at the present time there are certain moneys in Court based on that as- sessment.‘ We could, of course. send out cheques to these men. They don't have to accept it, but at least it notifies the persons that the money has been there for years." " Dr. MacMillan: "Has there been interest paid on it all the time?" Hon. Mr. Matheson: "Yes, 4 per cent." Dr. MacMillan: "Is that what you pay on temporary loans? The people who deposit $1,500,000 with this Government; what do they six?" on. Mr. Matheson: "2lé per cent." Dr, MacMillan: "Why the differ- once?" Hon. Mr. Matheson: "The Chan- cery Court ordered it. 1t was for- merly 3 per cent; now it is 4." Mr. D. F. Mathleaon: “If they don't take that money, what hap- pens?" Premier Jones: action then." Mr. D. L. Matlileson: "You gave them a good investment at 4 per cent; now you propose to take it back." “We will take Hon. Mr. Matheson: "You are blowing hot and cold. Let us get down to brass tacks." Mr D. L. Mathis-son: "It is in- terfering with individual rights, that is what it is." Hon. Mr. Barbour: "The money has been left there now for twelve years. I don't think this amend- ment goes far enough. Il the inter- est is cut off, or at least reduced to tho amount that we are paylnz for on other accounts, that might settle the matter." Hon. Dr. MacMillan: "I would ask the Minister of Public Works, when he takes land for roads how is it valued?" Mr. Barbour: “We have apprais- ers." Dr, MacMlllantlfAny appeal from Mr Barbour: "Yes, they can ap- peal to the County Court." Dr. MocMiilanz "But there was no appeal from’ this." The bill wne then adopted on a standing vote, the House dividing along straight party llnel.
