Given A Warm Session.

i' (From our own Correspondent) -
OTTAWA. April 30.-,Last evening
in connection with the item of $60,-i
000 in the Prince Edward Island esti-
mates, for the Souris breakwater the
Hon Mr. MacDonald (Kings) asked
for su explanation. The Minister of
Public Works stated that the amount
was required to complete the contract
with H. J. Phillips, CharIott»?otivii.
Mr. MacDonald thought the coin-
inunity would be better served if seine
portion of the appropriation were
spent on repairs to the railway
wharf, The shed. he said, was in ii
very bad condition, and on account
_oinmendation of the district engin-
eer. Mr. MacDonald expressed cori-
_llflrnce in the district engineer. but
Vasited "I-low far is this wharf from
:thc West River bridge wharf, for
_which there is a votc of over $8,000?"
_ Mr. Elliott: “My informaliign jg
_that it is three or four miles below
itliat. bridge," '
Mr. lilzirllniiald (Kings): When
lihrisc of us who know the situation
_existing there compare the treat-
_mcnt the \Vest River district is re-
,ccirlng ivith that accorded to other
_points in the Province, especially in
'Kings County, we cannot help won-
Df 91° \‘00f 195-kin! mB¥'Ch9-H0152 ill- ldrrlng why it ls that so much atten-
teiicied`for the Magdalen Islands
could not be stored there. If this
were not pocaiblo an extra approp-
riation Jiould be provided for the
purpose. V
The Minister agreed but stated the
completion of the breakwater was ur-
gent.
In connection with__the $10.60() ap-
propriation for a wharf for Westville
the 'I-lon. Mr. MacDonald asked
"Where is Westville?" and was in-
formed that "It ia in Queens Co. On
the south aide_ of the West River."
Thereupon Mr. MacDonald retorted:
“It is rather difficult to understand
why so much money is voted for
these places. There is a vote of $8,-
200 for wharf reconstruction and ex-
tension at West River bridge, and
this vote of 010.600 for the wharf at
We's"t\"iil'e. Cari the minister tell us
just what business is being done at

penditure?"

Opposition, dealt for two hours and
a half with the administration of post
omces in the Saint John district, in
which he charged gross irregularit-
ies and insubordlnatfon. Most of
the time was taken up in the read-
lfls of long fyles of correspondence.
and in this connection the Hon. Mr.
Bennett said he did not intend to
_make comments but to allow the'
'members of the committee to judge
for themselves. The trouble involv-
ed the misappropriation of funds
and unfriendly relations among the
inspectors. I-Ie concluded by saying
that the correspondence revealed a
[situation which was a disgrace tol

Prime Minister to make good hlsf
high pretensions of virtue Ln office

er General, after half an hour, was;

sideration in committee of supply;
of the House of Commons today `
Hon. H.. B. Bennett. opposition lead-
er, said he would present the factsi
in connection with the admlnistra-i
tion there and he would leave it. to,
the House and the country whetherf
the post office department shouldl
have their confidence considering
what was disclosed in the fyles. l
Offices in the district were urider_

dismissed. and they continued until
the houss adjourned. _
This morning an importaiit. if ra-
ther noisy and unconventional dis-
icussioii of the Marine and Fisheries
Committee was held. The regula-
tion of the lobster fishing occupied
a good deal of the time, some of the
members claiming that fishermen
should be restricted to their own dis-
tricts, and others that it would be 9.
coiitravciilion of the common rights
of fishing. Tivo concrete conclusions
were lirrived at amidst ai mccllcy of
conflicting opinions. It was recom-
inendcd that the Biological Board bc
asked to invcstigiito the lobster and
smelt fisheries with special reference
to coitscrvutlon. the establishment of
s'1nctuarlcs,: and the duration and
time of opcii fishing in the different
districts, and make a report to th!
Miiiisier.
Mr. Ercst (Queens, Lunenburg)
pleaded earnestly for the revocation
ol' the 25:: fee paid for lobster licen-
5,-_.5_ op the ground that it was only
a nuisance tax and nddrd nothin!
silbstalitial to thc revenuex
The Holi. Messrs. Sinclair and
MacDonald both said that they had
ncvcr had a complaint as to impos-
ition of this license fee, and the sui-
gcstion was voted down by I ll-F85
majority.
In this connection, however, G¢n-
cral McCrce (North Vancouver).
moved that a recommendation be
made to the department that the li-
cense fee for trawling and lllllhl
net licenses for salmon throu8h0\li'
Canada should be fixed at 25 cents
and his motion was carried by U16
casting voe of the chairman, Wil-
liam Duff (Antfgonishl.
A strenuous debate followed as to
the prevention of beam trawlin§ in
the interest of conservation and of
the fishermen who had to leave for
the United States owing to the de-
pletion of fresh fish inshore. A few
wer, insistent upon it: others held
that beam crawls should be used.b\it
limited in number until the fisher-
men could ensure I constant auPP\l'
of fresh flah under more modern me-
thods and better conditions. It wal
decided to adjoum further consider-
ation to give members time to read

into oommlttee of the whole on the

_arisen in connect-lon with shortages,
1 in two post offices, in one office as at
iresult of an investigation by thei
ljuiiior inspector, a shortage of $907.- i
80 had been discovered. This was at!
Dupeys Corners. It was dlsclosedi
that the post master, a\er having
liquidated $150 of his deficit, had
given an undertaking to pay of! the
balance at the rate of $40 a. month.
Communications between the chief
accountant in Ottawa and Inspect-
or Griffiths showed that the inspec-
| tor guaranteed these installment
payments. Many months passed how-
ever, and no monies were received
by the chief accountant. To the
chief accountants representations Mr.
Griffiths reiterated his assurance that
the installments would be received in
due course and back payments would
be made.
As a result of correspondence b,e-

of the case. Questioning the post-

Caledonian Club `
Monthly Meeting
The regular monthly meeting of
the Caledonian Club was held yes-
terday evening in their club rooms
the President Mr. Abeii MacLean oc-
cupying the chair.
There was a large attendance, and
much liitercst. was manifested in the
proceedings.
It was unaiiiinously decided to hold
the annual gathering at Vemon
River station, July lst. It was also
decided to hold a grand whist party
master, he discovered receipts for a
total of $330 sent or given to inspec-
tor Grlfflths. Inspector Griffiths had
admitted receiving payment of $200
by registered letter but had not plac-
ed it to the postmaster's account be-
cause he wanted to walt until he
could make a "better showing." The
superintendent added that he was
inclined to believe the postmasters
accounts of payments were correct.
Mr. Bennett then turned to what
he termed the "Bhediac incident." in
connection with the administration
of the poetoffice there by Mr. Grif-
fiths. In 192'! District Superintend-
end Woods had not recommended
Mr. Griffiths for an increase in sal-
ary in view of Mr. Griffiths' irregu-
larities at Dupey'a' Corners and She-
dlac, continued Mr. Bennett. Bimi-
larly ln 1928 when the matter of sal-
ary revision was reported Mr, Woods
had again declined to recommend
an increase for Mr. Griffiths. But.
the fyle showed A letter by P. T.
Coolican, aupt. of postal services,
written in 1921 to Mr. Woods where-
in lt la set forth that the postmast-
er-generel untrusted that Mr. Grif-
nthu annual increase be proceeded
with notwithstanding Mr. Wood‘a_ 're-
fuaai. ,
»'r'he postmaster-general advised
that he kriew all the details of the
case. In 1928 Mr. Woods had again
referred to the Dupeya Coram one
and ul further memo was attached
in the club rooms on some date, not
Iyet decided in the week of May 6th.

was much appreciated by the mem-
bers.
A meeting of the games committee
was held after the regular meeting

for the annual gathering.
this matter had been enquired into
by the postmaster-general and Mr.
Geboury, that the explanation of
Mr. Griffiths in conection with the
case was considered satisfactory, that
the case was considered closed and
no further reference should bemade
to the conduct of Mr. Griffiths. He
did not intend to comment upon
tbeae situations in the poet office de-
partment, said Mr. Bennett. He
