Loan Board Operations nvllowi is a. continuation of the officin transcript of the evid- once t.aken.on Tuesdsy, the open- ing day of the Commission inquiry under Judge J. B. Desltoches into the operations of the Fisherman's Loan Board. The examination of the witnesses was conducted by Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell. K. 6.. Commiss- ion oounsel.- -- -- . Evidence of Mr. Marin Gnllsnt (continued) Q.-You were chairman for a year. What have you to say as re- gards irregularities. ..Arry con- nection with ' " . and Fisher- inen's noun Board? A.-Well, no. I don't know. There was quite a rush at the thine. Asking for loans, but nothing irregular at all as far as I know. Where certain parties applied for loans. insistent on getting certain loans for fishing gear. We granted part of them. Q.-.1-low miioli did you cut: them? A.-Cut down applications by about half. Q.-(Did you so cut them down? A.-Oh yea. Q.-Are we to understand that in the fall of '47 they only grantoi half the loans? A.-No. Mr. Desaoches (Commissioner) Half of the applicati Iran or half of the amount? A.-Half of the amount-there wasn't. distinction made in all of the cases at all-in just a few. - Mr. Campbell: You thought it was about normal. A.-Yes. Q.-were there more cuts made that fall than other falls.-Take '46-were they cut down then? A.- I don't remember now exactly, I know that we did have to reduce the amounts quite a bit-had to look out-keep in mind the estim- ates arid not go over. Q.-Keep within the amount vot- ed tn the estimates? A.-Yes. Q.-What was the amount? A.-H Between thirty and forty thousand. Q.-Constant? A.-About the same amount every year. Q.-By the time you got into it all Dominion assistance had ceased. A.-Yes. Q.-Dominion Assistance was from '36 to '39, These figures that I quoted-4l85.i)0f).C0 some odzi dollars spent by the Dominion. A.-- Yes. Q.-Your experience with the Board-it has all been Provincial- money voted each year in the Leg- islature. A.-It was a revolving fund that you could lead out as it came in. Money coming in repaid to the Board would be through the rebate on gasoline. Q.-How does that: work? A.-- Some left” all the rebate-others didn't. Q.-His Honour isn't supposed to know anything about it. How does that happen. You explain to the Court. A.-The fisherman is ex- empt from paying 10 per cent gas tax. They pay in the first instance and put in in claim. The Govern- ment pays it back. Q.-when they borne in for re- hate on their gasoline tax, that's what you mean by collecting it. for their loan. A.-Get check for it and pay to Fisherman's Loan Board. Not the only mode of pay- ment. Some pay cash. Q.-I suppose on the large amounts it is paid by check-but the little fisherman was paying his loan by gasoline rebates. A.-Yes. Q.-Is there anything further to say? First: of all what staff did you have. Mrs. lligsors was there? A.- Yes. Q.-Any further staff? while you were chairman you and Mrs. Higson ran the business with ad- vice from the Board? A.-Yes. Q.-.1-low did you arrange a loan? A.-with an application consider- ed by the Board. Q.-And then applicant would sign is note and after he got the goods could pay the merchant. A.- Yes. Mr. Dealt ” (Commissioner): I wonder if these notes were joint notes. Mr. Campbell: Someone else was required to sign note? A.-I just forget. ' Mr. Desliocihesz If the witness doesn't know it is all right. Attitude of Merchants Mr. Oampbeil. Did you find any pressure-by the merchants? Did you find in the asking for a. loan that the merchants as a general rule exerted any pressure? A.- Weil-I think that in some cases the merchants were kind of anx- ious that the parties wanting the loan got ii)-not in be many cases. though. especially in the first few years when this relief was given out-some of the merchants I be- lieve would advise some of the fish- ermen to apply in order to get the trade. but I don't think it was done in very many csses. Mr. Dunochee (Commissioner): It wasn't general? A.-No. Mr. Campbell. Regarding what you say-relief was handed out. we have from Mr. LcPage indications of a storm in 1930-srid a special relief was given then. A.-I had nothing to do with Fisherman's loan Board then. Q.-I'll just put this question to see what your mswer will be. This is a problem with which the Com- missioner willi be confronted. Some fishermen clsim that all of those years--any 1wG-i9w- those early years when the depression was bad. and those loans were mostly for thirty or forty dollars-most fish- ermen eonsldei-ed then as relief- have you anything to say about that? A.--Yes. I have heard it. Yes. and perhaps we will hove to con- sider it as relief. Q.-Some were pretty poor-real- ly haven't got anything. A.-Yes. Q.-A very lergs part of those this to fort dollar loans were uncoiectcd or fourteen years- would you say that they were col- lcetitile! A.-Hardly collectible. Q.-naa you made some effort to collect some of the amounts? A.--'9'. W0 CM. Q.-were you met with that reply d it just relief? A.-Yes og ccursuwo talked the matter with the Board and thought 3: it was relief after all. Q--Thou small Isnounts-as a loans-did you consider any of them as relief? A.-No. Not at all. Q.-You consider that your in- tentions was at the time that any larger loans made should be re- paid. A.-Oh Sure. Too Few Investigator: Q.-.No question about them. some question about the thirtv dollar loans in the early years. A.- Yes. Mr. bePaga spoke about in- vestigating cases. I think that per- haps one of the weak points in the whole set-up, there were not . enough investigators. Should have investigators appointed and paid for doing some investigating. Q.-You relied on what you would hear? A.-Yes. Q.-Didn't: have time to see and investigate? A.-No. The Board would know much better. Mr. DesR.oches (Commissioner): Ask the witness if any other Gov- ernment Loan organization have regularly paid iiuestigat rs. "Nb: Campbell: I b lleve the present Fisherman's Loon Board has an investigator? A.-Yes. Mr. Desfcochesz The answer is that the present Fisheimen's Loan Board has a paid investigator full time. A.-Yes. The Mother's Allow- ance Board have investigators who have been of great help to the Board. Q.-Anything further? A.--I don't know if I can give very much more evidence. I am not aware how the Board is functioning now. Mr. Desloocheii (Commissioner): 1 think I have ii picture of the functioning of the Board in both Mr. LePnge's and Mr. Ga.llant's time. As far as I am concerned. I have this witness' information that the small loans generally were considered by way of relief and understood a such. but that the larger loans, it was generally understood, would be repaid. Q.-That's all it would apptar to be? A.-(Mr. Gallant) I think that the Board from the beginning un- til the new setup. did as well as they possibly could. Made mistakes no doubt in some cases. but I think it did a lot: of good to the fishing industry in Prince Edward Island. It improved the condition of the fishermen in general. Money well spent. Wasn't all returned in its entirety. I think it was a good idea-improved the quality of the canned goods and everything. gave fishermen it great start--better buildings to work in; all tzhose fish houses-in some cases, are not oc- cupied. but at the time they were a great help. Q.-Commissioner: Thank you Mr. Gallant. As far as this witness is concerned. I wanted to get the picture. Perhaps he may have to be recalled to answer definite question. This is the opening sitting of this inquiry. several witnesses were asked to give the set-up of the Board. It is intention of this Commission to travel around the Province and get essential evidence. it possible. regarding F. L. 13. Really what gave rise to this in- vestigation hasn'i: been touched upon. The terms of reference in the Commission are all broad-I feel. in order to make any sort of pub- lic inquiry the picture must be fairly clear from the start. Other- wtscxwe will land in a forest from which it will be rather difficult to come into the open. I would be very happy to have fishermen. fishermen's groups or unions-any- one interested in this investigation to come forward. Afternoon session Mrs. Kathleen Higson Sworn Q-Yourriame is? A. -Kathleen Higson. Q-You are the Clerk-Sienogra- phcr for the Fisherman's Loan Board? A. -Yes. J-And you were in the same position for the former loan board? A.-Yes.

A - Mr. Gallant came after Mr. Hughes. He was a member of the Board. Q-How long was Mr. Cox there? A-From '41 to '47 and he was there before I came-before '41. Mr. De.IRochel (Commissioner): Get me the names of the Board and dates of their Ippointmnk Mr. Campbell: You can furnish us with the dates of all these peo- ple? A. - (Mrs. Higson) Yes. Q.-Then the new board was ap- pointed when? The present Board? A. - The present Board-AP?" 27. 1949. Q-So that up to the end of the year. the end of the fiscal year or March am 1949. it win the old board that functioned throughout. A.-Yes.

A.-Yes. o--wiii you lust explain to the Commissioner how -piilicliioiil were dealt with throillhotll 701" time. in the first vim. will thus any difference or were they all the same? A.-All handled the same. Boazd on really considered it re- lief? Thole ninourite got large- ono niuidi-ed dollar loans end Q-And how was that? A-After we received a ,ueat for an at)- pllcatlon we would send them application form. ' Q-To a fisherman or an assoc- iation? A-To the fisherman him- self. He would return that form properly filled in. Q-1-lave you got a sample form with you. A-Yes 1 have. Q-That's been filled out in some case. I hereby tender this form to the Court to be known as Exhibit "D". After you found out that this fisherman wanted a loan you sent him this form to be filled out and signed. A - Yes. Q-Now who did that form hove to be signed by? A-By himself and some responsible person to re- commend him. Q--This recommendation wasn't a guaranteeof the loan? A. No. Dtaorlbea Procedure Q-Then what happened the ap- plication? A.-When I received the application I checked it to see if he had received a previous loan and if,not his application was placed before the Board. Q-How often did the Board meet on the average over the years you were there? A.-Generally once a month or possibly if we had lots of applications we had one every two weeks. Q-All these applications would be gathered up and come before the Board. A.-They called meet- ings when there would be suffic- ient applications. Q-Then what did the Board do? A-After the Board approved the application it was turned back to me and I notified the fisherman that .his application had been ap- proved and I prepared a note and sent it to him to sign. Q-Did that take place all at the one time or did the Board make some investigation. A.-Gen- erally happened at the one time but some member of the Board in- vestigated, if not recommended by some responsible party in that sec- tion of the country. Q-The Board acted on this ap- plicaiion on the recommendation of the person on it. A-Unless they had some doubt of the person - then they laid the application aside and investigated further. The gen- eral rule was to accept it. Q-(Examining application form) This form is approved by Arsenault & Delaney. They recommended the loan. A-Not always-but in that case Mr. Arsenault was well known. Q-Approved by executing of- ficer - Marin Gallant. He would be the Prince County man. Wil- llarn Hill approved payment.
