"The main point at issue is whether we are to act as a parlia- ment and to deal with legislation by bills properly preseiilibd’. 0i’ whether we are to he forward these dictatorial orders,’ said Mr. Drew.

There would also be less expense. he argued. The bill was moved into com- mittee by Hon. G.l-I. Barbour, Minister oi Public Works and Highways. The feat that there was no compensation for breaking winter roads was complained of by Mr. Phillip Matheson.

The bill provides that tempor- ary roads shal‘. be discontinued betiween April 15 and Nov. it oi each year. It was finally reported agreed to with amendments. The following bills were intro- duced snd read at the sf session: an Act to amend the P.- tha raising oi money on the cre- dit of the Consolidated Revenue Fimd; the Statute Law Amend- ments Act; an Act to amend an Act to consolidate and amend the Highway Traffic Act; an Act to amend the Town Act; an Act to amend tbs Dalrymen’: Association Act; an Act to authorize the School qBoaa-ds of Charlottetown and Summerside to provide e sys- tern of pensions for public school trustees. Premier Jones tabled the en- nual report of Credit Unions. Fisheries Act Ln an Act respecting the Fish- eries within the Pmvlnze, moved into committee by Prtmier Jones there was much discussion and criticism oi the purpose oi pro- viding provincial inspectors. The Premier stated that the bill was companion legislation to the Act providing for a Fishermen Loan Board, 1t provides for licens- ing fish plants or csnneries. It brings into effect the provisions of,i.hat part. oi the Meat and Can- Fish Act which deal with canned fish and shellfish and cannerles. and the provisions oi the Fish Inspection Act which deal with IIlg inspection of cer- tain pickled, salted ehd other kinds oi shellfish. ‘ Mr. George E. Seville ‘ ‘ he could not understand the Act at all. "Has the Federal Govern- ment. discovered they have no authority to give packers, licen- see, and this Government is asked ‘to do it instead?" he uked. "rho llbderal Goverrrnent already says you must have a licmse, sind you are going to double th, expense." Mr. Keir Clark agreed with Mr. SBNIIIE. "The bill is just a blank piece of nper so far as I Am ooh- cerned", h; said. . Premier Jones said the bill had been carefully drafted by Dr. Cooper, Mr, Rodd and other ex- perts and was based on legislation in force in other Provinces. Mr. John Macleasi pointed out that the bill provides for addition- aha Minister of Industry and Nat- ural Resources. These presumably were additional to the Federal in- spectors. Mr. Richard maintained that the new provisional would be hard on small fishermen, , The provisions of the bill were defended by Premier Jones, Hon. A.W. Methason‘ and Hon. Mr. Cos. The penalty clause provides that anyone violating the provisions at the Act ‘or regulations‘ shall be sulity of an offence and liable on summery conviction to a fine oi one hundred dollars and in do. fault of payment to imprisoaunl-it for s team not exceeding fifty days and eaoh dsy that such violation continues. shall constitute s asp- srste offence.

The members of the Women's Association serving at the banquet were dressed in white with green bows on the left shoulder. Mr, John A. MacNalr, the master oi ceremonies entertained the gath- ering in true Scotch style, and the success oi the evening, which was probably the best and most enter- taining in the history oi the annual choir banquets, was due in part to the untlrlng efforts oi Mr. and Mrs. John A. MacNalr and the "Ways and Means" committee chairman Geo. Craig, Mr. and Mrs. Eldon M. Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Merritt Forsylhe. Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Mitc- Leod and Mr. Clifford MacDonald. Mr. W. P. MacLeod, Chairman of the Board of Stewards welcomed all present and in his remarks paid tribute to the choir for the import- ant part its members played in the life oi the church. Fitting words of thanks were ex- tended to the Board of Stewards by Professor A. Roy Kendall, organist and choir leader on beltalf of the choir members. after which the choir sang an ode of thanks com- posed by Professor Kendcli for the occasion. ' Mr. Lyle Robson with Mrs. Angus MacEacherri atlhe piano then led the gathering in a sing song com- prised of Irish favorites. The guest soloist. Mr. Dlngwell sang the "Gallant ender" by Da’vry and "Bende- meer’: Stream" ‘by Thos. Moore. Both numbers were very much en- joyed. The musical programme contin- ued with Mr, Frank Johnson, A. T. C. L. contributing two beautiful piano solos "Le Jet D'Eau" by Smith and "Liebestrausne" by Liszt Dr. Wm. E. Dudley then said a few appropriate words in praise of the choir and said that he and Mrs. Dudley would forever be grateful for the courtesies and co-operation given to him during his short min- lstry at Trinity.

Grants Assist Smaller Towns Advocating extension of the Fed- eral health grants to include the financing of preventive health projects, such as water supply and sewage disposal, in the smaller towns. J. Thomas Kickham (lst King's) continued the Budget de- bate for the Government last ev- enlng. Mr. Klckham pointed out some of the Federal grants which Prince Edward Island could not benefit by. such as land reclamation and slum clearance. lie believed that the Provincial Government would be justlflod in asking the Domin- ion for grants to finance running water and sewage disposal schemes in such towns as Souris, in order to prevent disease. The speaker stated that Souris and Montague were at a disad- vantage as their hospitals had been built Prior to the introduction oi Federal health grants, which were not retro-active. He commended the Government on its stand against increased freight rates, and stated that any further increases would, in reality, amount to an embargo on the sale. of Island potatoes in central Cen- ada. He believed that freight rates affected the Pbteto growers more than any other farmers. The member for lst King's de- clared that he opposed the property vote as causing friction at elect- ion bootbs. He stated he could see no useful purpose in it, in this Province. .Calling for more money to be spent on roads, Mr. Klckham stated he was glad to hear that a new bridge would be built at Sourla West. He pointed out the necessity for a bridge at St. Peters also. ' The speaker commended s. new system which he saw carried out at Fortuncdast fall and asked that it be extended to the whole Province. This involved the burn- ing of road-side bushes in the fall whichellmlnated trucking. It left a clean job at about one-third of the cost, he declared. Mr. Kickhsrn expressed personal dislike of the Public Utilities Board. He believes it interferes with private enterprise in refusing to grant a gas outlet license in his district. Mr. J. P. Matheson Heard In Budget Debate Speaking in the Budget debate last evening. J. Philip Mstheson (2nd Queen's) continued the 0p- positions steady criticism of the Government. Mr. Matheson warned that the Department of Agriculture was be- ing "shorn of many of its duties” and criticised the Government's handling of the Fisherman's Loan Bosrdf potato warehouses, sale of puipwood from the Island. sud cost of the new barn at Falcon- wood. I-lo oharged "discrimination" in the spread between the different salaries of Deputy Ministers. Referring to the Premier's bud- get speech statement on the Fish- ermerrs Loan Board. the membflr for 2nd Queens declared it "was an admission of inefficiency and declaration oi future happenings." Pointing to a disheartening ov- erall flnancial picture, i-llc $993k“ referred to the failure of the Pro- vincial Government to "get en- ough" money out. of the Domin- ion-Provincial Tax Agreement. stating the Premier had mado a bad bargain, he said". “When the Premier claims t-here is not enough money to carry out. our suggestions, he should have got it there." Mr. Matheson then criticised the Government's policy on potato warehouses. He stated that the Dominion grant was not in force in the Province and drew inter- jcctloiis from the Premier. Again, on the report of the New- foundland trade, the speaker took issue with the Government on the grounds that much of the $3.000,- 000 business was not Island pro- duce. He referred particularly‘ to flour. fruits and meats. Referring to the Trade Commis- sioner, Mr. Matheson stated, "I've never heard of a Trade Commis- sioner living in the country which appoltitcd him. He should be liv- ing in Newfoundland." The sneaker criticised the Gov- ernment's "apparent encourage- ment" of the sale oi pulpwood. He declared it unwise to "indis- criminately slaughter our small. but potential. supply of lumber for the Province." and called for s reforestation program. Mr. Matheson deplored the strip- nlngzoi "many of its duties" from the Department of Agriculture. He Defends Activities 0i Fishermetfs Loan Board A vigorous defense of the work accomplished under the Fisher- man's Loan Board was made in the legislature lest: night by Mr. George E. Seville (Ir-Fifth King's) in the course of the Budget debate. speaking of the criticism made against the Board, he said "every- body‘; hand has been against it except the hands of the fishermen. There never seemed to be anybody ready to get up and defend it." B; excepted‘ from this criticism the hon. member for Morell (Hon. Mr. Cox) whose activities as chairman of the Board he com- mended. it had been claimed that practi- hoped the Department of lndius- try and Natural Resources would not grab off the Women's Instit- utes. Commenting on the administra- tion of the Agricultural Short Course being transferred to the Department of Education, the speaker hoped this would go no further. He hoped that, "although our young farmers were our great- est "natural resource", the training program would be left with the Department of Agriculture and not also transferred to the Depart- ment of Industry anl Natural Re- sources. Mr. Matheson went on to criti- cise the practicability of the Fal- conwood barn and stated the cost was "out of a.ll proportion." He scored the Department of Agriculture for “lack of imagin- ation" in failing to spend some $23,000 of iis funds and question- ed lts “ability to expand." Charging the Government with discrimination regarding the sal- aries of its Deputy Ministers. Mr. Matheson asked how the valuation was set. Referring to the excellent work of the Deputy Minister of Agri- culture and the Dairy Inspector, he stated that one Deputy Minister- received almost as much fro-n the Government as both the former officials mentioned. Calling on ihc Government for improved roads. Mr. Matheson quoted from an article on Prince Edward Island ln MacLean‘s mag- azine iii which the writer stated the roads were built for a “sure- footed mule" rather than a low- siung i948 car. He referred in the interview which the writer of the article had with the Premier, and noted that l-lolsseins were the_only first-class dairy cattle which the article mentioned as exported from the Island. “I would like to say that Prince Edward Island exports first-class dairy cattle of other breeds also." declared the member from 2nd Queens. "I didn't give an interview to the girl. she just came over to see me in the evening." stated the Premier, smiling. (Hearty laugh- ter). . ' The House adjourned until 1i o'clock today. fish ho sea built sold. in s s ville cally l.ll the under the loans hari be this connection Mr. instsnced fish houses at Savage Harbour, Morell. Cable Head. Cable Head west. Basin Held- Neufrage Harbour. Soul-ls, Beach Point, and l-ligh Bank. Besides these houses. worth about $44,960. loans oi over ammo had been made for fishermen! boats. These were assets ii the Government wanted to realise on them. l-le cltell from the auditor's re- port to refute a stateme * that double the expenditure on fisher- men's loans had been made dur- ing the last election year. "We didn't spend as much then as we "did tho year before," he said. The figures were 048,2! from March 3i, i941 to March Si. 104s, as against some 084,701 for the pre- ceding year. Loans Te Veterans In the years immediately follow- ing the war s good, deal of money had been advsnded to wei- veter- ans. Mr. Seville considered these men s. pretty good risk, even ii there was a black sheep or two in the flock. Ha would also ask hon. members to realize that in the early years of the loss-d. from i926 to i940, the fisherman were in great distress. "On she books of the Fisherman's been Board ~ day than are lots of Ifllll smou which were given out for relief at. that time. These boom-int! are Highway Report the Island is still at a due to Tuesday's storm. but re- ports from the Department of Highways indicate that on several main highways herd working snow plow operators are making gccd progress. On the other main high- ways the heavy snow is preventing plow operators from making much headway. The No, 1 highway was. open from Bununerside to OLeary by last night, but information on any further gains could not be ob- talned at the time the report was made. On the No. 2 highway the road was opened from Summer- slde to Kensington, and as far as Central Bedeque on the way to Borden. Oin this and of the No. 2 highway the road was opened from Charlottetown to Hunter River by a tractor plow which will continue on to Rustico. The No. 2A high- way was cleared to traffic from Charlottetown to Bonshaw, The No. 6 high-way was open to Morell from this end and to St. Peter's from the other end. The road between these two centres is heavily blocked and plow operat- ors are not making much head- way. On the No. 3 highway plows are wot-king from Montague and Char- lottetown. The plow from Monta- gue has reached Poole’: Garage. and the plow from Charlottetown is working at Southport, Another plow is working frcm Eldon to Millvierw Corner, with the hope oi helping on the Charlottetown- Mcntague highway. think at the end of that period a balance should have been struck and then we would know exactly how much the fishermen owed." Mr. Baville said there were other accounts on the auditor's list of men and co-operatlves getting loans from the Fishermen‘; L051] Board for many years. and paying them back year after year. He instanced one in which there was some dispute in recent years over the title of s fish house, which accounted for non-payment, of the more recent loans. The same was true of s great many co-operatives, he said, adding that he believed this motley would be paid up eventually. He recalled that about the same time the fishermews loans were instituted, money was also be- ing loaned to needy farmers to buy grain. These loans totalled some $06,000 and only about $.20. 000 was paid back. yet the auditor has not seen fit to give the names of these farmers. There were also loans to sunmer schools which Mr. Baviile cited. He wished to protest strongly about the manner in which the fishermen lied been held up to publicity as getting money out of the Government. Both farmers and fishermen had benefited. “Indeed." lra added, "no gbvernment that ever wits in Prince Edward Island has done as much for the men that till the soil or the men who g0 down to the sea. in ships as the present Government and the previous Liberal Government."

Road Conditions Mr. Savllle referred to thl Brudenell Island road, which leads to the cemetery and monument 1.0 the Brudenell pioneers, which ha said was badly in need of repair and which he urged the Govern- ment to attend to. He could not find any fault wifls the Highways Department for not giving his district sufficient road work last year, but there was still o. lot to be done. "First. of all.” he said. “we need s paved road into Georgetown. When a plant is set up they can do some paving around Souris and on the road to Dlngwell’: Mills and other Darts of King's County." The road from Montague to Murray River. done the yssr be- fore last, was standing up vweil. Doubtless there will be requests to have this run towards Murray Harbour.
