The claim is there repeated that failure of the other Maritime Provinces to co-operate with this Province be- fore ‘the Audit Board in May, 1930, resulted in this Province not receiving a subsidy ‘increase, there and then of $438,000. ’ _ HOW does this tally with Premier Saunders’ statement m the Patriot on_January 2o, 1930, that the Audit Board had been appointed specially “T0 MAKE FINAL ADJUSTMENT OF PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND SUBSIDY CLAIMS”? This Province, according to Mr. Saunders statement, was to be the “white-haired boy”; it was to take precedence over the other Provinces which were under Tory Government, and have its claims adjusted first. WHY THEN BLAME FAILURE T0 OBTAIN SETTLEMENT ON THE OTHER MARITIME PROVINCES 7 The shoe‘, of course, is on the other foot. IT WAS THROUGH THE POLITICAL MANOEUVRING OF LIBERAL GOVERNMENTS IN THIS PROVINCE AND AT OTTAWA THAT OUR CLAIMS WERE NOT SETTLED IN 1929. Figuredon a basis of the increase obtained by the MacMillan Government last year, this represents a los in subsidy payment of $750,000. Figured on the basis of Mr. Leafs brief before the Audit Board, it represents a loss of $2,190,000, Figured on the basis of the brief Mr. Lea published in the Liberal press on Jan. 21, 1930, IT REPRESENTS A LOSS OF $16,860,825 PLUS $200,000 _“CASH SUBSIDY” WHICH THE PRESENT LIBERAL LEADER I N C L U D E D IN HIS GARGANTUAN REQUEST. lsn Government, had received more t, Conservative subsidy achievements, resulting since 1912 in the obtaining. under three successive Conservative govern- ments in this Province, of $370,000 additional annual subsidy, OR A CAPITAL AMOUNT OF $7,500,000 PLACED TO OUR CREDIT AT OTTAWA.

Conservatives scored a signal triumph at Morel] last night at one of the largest, most orderly, and most en- thuslastlc meetings ever held in that splendid section of the Province. Premier MacMillan, who spoke in support of the Conservative candidates Messrs. MacKinnon and Burge, was given a tremendous ovation, and his speech of half an hour was punctuated by repeated applause. The Conservative candidates also received an enthusiastic wel- come, and, like the Premier, an uninterrupted hearing. We have reviewed in these columns the record of ' The order maintained was ex- ceptlonally good, though Mr. Cox's presentation of the Liberal case evoked a. good many sarcastic comments from the audience.

The Premier in his opening re- marks warmly congratulated the meeting on the excellent order maintained, which he said was s. credit to the Morell district. Answering lvLr. McIntyr-es con- tention that the I-Illlsboro Bridge road project had cost more than the McIntyre highway, the Prem- ier showed that there was very little difference in the cost per square yard. “Mr. McIntyre ne- glected tc tell you, however, that the work was altogether different. The work on the Hlllsboro Bridge approaches is concrete, whereas the highway named after him is o! asphalt. It is three or three and a. half inches 1n depth. whereas the concrete work at Illllsboro Bridge is nine inches in some places. Moreover, it‘ is not s 1'1- foot roadlike the McIntyre high- way. It is a. roadway of about 26 feet wide. Then when you strike the Bates to the bridge you have two roads, one on each slde of the rails: and they are each about l2 feet wide.
