Premier Jones thought it was “hardly to be expected" that Ped- eral taxes would be lowered very much under present conditions. They were. he maintained, not so onerous compared with other coun- tries. He lnstanced Great Britain and United States in this connec- tion. So far as Prince Edward Island was concerned. “even if we pro- duced a great surplus on current account I wouldnt be too sure that you would find it could be distri- buted; because the “Bible" of our provincial departments is the re- port of the Reconstruction Com- mittee, and only on two projects -education and grants lo hos- pitals-have the recommendations of that Ccmmlttee been carried out. The money, if we have any over this year, will be put by as a rest fund until the Dominion can proceed with the other ele- ments of the Dominion-Provincial agreements - namely, social sec- urity and public investment. "We have receiv d a promise al- ready that if a n tional highway is bull-t, it will go from ferry to ferry on this Island, and a Fed- eral contribution wlli be made." Dealing with education. the Premier said the amount recom- mended for teachers’ salary in- crease by the Reconstruction com- mlttee had been elroenderl. Fig- ures publlshed by tile Canadian Educational Association indicated that the percentage of increase for rural teachers was greater" than insny other Province. UP lo last year $730 vlas the averag= here, and it has now been raised to $1,008.75. an increase of about 1'8 per cent. Grants To Hospitals In hospital grants the Premier said that the full amount asked for—75 cents per patient per day-- had been given to all the hos- pitals. The Government, in _ its election campaign had pro-misled to extend this grant. lo rural places where a qualified nurse was conducting an establishment approved bv the Government. ."1' am inclined to think the G-overn- ment might favorably consider the establishment of more of these hostels," he said. “If rural (roam-s can handle patients near their own dloors they can effect great- savings. especially l" "ch cases as maternity." I-le in- slfianced high hospital expenses. h‘ one case amounting to $25 a day. Hon. Dr. MacMlllan questioned whether any hospital in this Prov- ince charged that rmount. Premier Jones said this includ- ed three nurses a day. at $5 each. Dr. MacMlllan: "Did you say the homitals get 75 cents per patient oer day? That is incor- rect. We asked you to increase the grant by $1.00. but actually we are getting only 50 cents now." Premier Jones maintained that the amount was 75 cents. (Inter he explained that a regrettable clerical error had occurred. An order-ln-oouncil had been passed on April 25 last year. fixing the amount at 50 cents. but on the following May 2o this order had been rescinded and the grant to "ch hqglpltal raised to 75 cents per patient per day. 7111011611 Ml aim-sight the clerk who was writ- ing the ordelr-ln-councll did not change the orllzlnel iltilfv- l“ the hospitals have only been re- cglving the orlgfnsl grant.

Premier Jones slid that if the constituency o,f Charlottetown and R°Yllty were divided. two of the DPOPOEBd new members would be for Royalty. Such a division might be on improvement because of the questions that have arisen with re- spect to building :nd sanitary re. quircments in suburban are“, Dr. ltfacMillanz “That ls not g City responsibility." Premier Jones said the Govern- ment had spent some 35,000 in Rflyllt)’, in the Interests of health, and this wu: just a beginning. "I understand that the people of the R°YEIW d0 nOt want to incorpor- ate. el/Efl $001180, by doing so they could draw $5,000 from this Government annually, and that Wwld pay the interest on the m°n¢y Wlllf-‘h would be necessary to install the water there."

"During the period under review w investigations were con- ducted resulting in 329 seizures. 519 prosecutions, 477 convictions, 0 svlthdrswls and 16 dismissals; compared with i519 investigations. 334 seizures, 571 prosecutions end 543 convictions during the year 1046. The decrease of 52 prosecutions from the previous year may be attributed to the vigorous enforcement during the previous year of I046 end to a more settled condition existing in 1047 with consequent greater re- gard for the Prohibition Act. "The aforemantloned investigat- ion: include 1458 non-resultant Searches conducted, chiefly in the city of Charlottetown :nd the town of Surrmerside. 1n addition to the investigations, etc, made under the Prohibition Act, there were 837 investigations including non-resultant Searches and 52 convictions under the Excise Act. Seizures included 29 com- plete stills and 5 motor cars. The total wash, beer, spirit: :nd extract: seized under the Prohibit- ion Act and Excise Act during the Year 1047 is approximately 3974 gallons as compared with approx- imately 3323 gallons seized during 1946. ll. 0.M.P..Ro|lort’ PEBRUARY_ 21,434; > OWQGQ§Q4¢ PUBUC FORUM l." tub column I: open n, "c. tuboreltl- ‘lb: Charlottetown Cuudhu loos not unearn- tly endorse the ephhn of correspondent . ¢ (Continued from Pele n with, A: Mr. Crockett ha: suggest- 9d, mother pg sucnfarm: associat- ed with school: might be establish- ed in King’: County, :nd another in Prince.
