Sir:-'I'here exist in this pro- vince terrible condition: caused by the prolonged illness or death of family bread-winners: in a large majority of cases the cause being Tuberculosis. To make the situation more clear, I will briefly illustrate a fF\V cases. There was the case of a young married man ivith small children, who provided for his family upwards of five years after his illness was diagnosed as advanced pulmonary thing) T. B, While rtlll under doc- tor's orders of complete bed-rest, his savings became completely ex- hausted and he applied foi" govern- ment assistance but. was refused. The excuse for the refit al was that his father should provide for 111m and his family, while. at the time. the father was over seventy years old and living on a heavily mortgaged farm Another case is that of a husband and father who was a. patient 1n the Sanatorlvm. After more than five years of lllnss", the wife and mother applied for assistance but ivas refused 011 the grounds that they could not receive any while the husband was a free patient in, the Sanatorlum. Therefore he (the sick man) was compelled to give up the benefits of Sanatcrluin care and treatment and return hctnc. When they again ap- plied for asistance, they were in- formed that $5.00 per month wts the maximum amount they could receive to provide shelter, fuel. food and Clothing for a sick m n, mother and family of small child- ren Here It should be noted that It would cost at toast $50.00 per month to care for this 1111111 tn the Sana.- him and family to provide all es- sentials of llfe, when at home. on $5.00 per month. Another case i: that, of a man who died of Tuberculosis, leaving a widow and family of small child- ren, the oldest of‘ which now has a spot on one lung and, although they have no other help. they receive only $7.50 per month to provide all essentials of life. These are typical cases but there are even more pathetic ones which constitute a social injustice as I will I am, Sir, etc., HUMANITARIAN FORUM .. WS— WHY THE HASTE? Sin-It has been drawn to my at- tention that; during the past few days an almost over-anxious orkeen desire on the part of some acting ministers. or actfni: deputies. to spend izovemment money. had cul- minated in frequent visits I: the Bank of Canada Building. and after many vociferous debates and argu- ments. eclded to proceed at once with the remodelll of gist building to make_g§di tonal and a tightening of expenditure by our locai government means less ~ work to be done and thus less ex- tra. offlclacs and consequently office room. I wonder t! the private office complex has bitten our gov- ernment officials and actinit otticl- als too severely for the public izoocl. fer because I wonder 1f someone ll takiniz advantage of the Illness of the Minister of Public Works to show their acting authority. because no estimate of expense to be incurred Is known. As far as I can learn, no tenders have been called. and I can well re- member t-he thousands that were loosely spent on the Court Housto at Charlottetown and Summerslde. What has become of the highly- a touted tender system alleged tohave been used by the present regime? Has it proved such a boomerang to the patronaize seekers. that 1t had to be discarded? members of the Legislature decide torlum; yet. the government expects what 15?“) be dorm and why 511 m. secrecy lic what new offices are being cre- ated with their attendant. extra iioveniment offices.

Who authorized this new expen- diture? Not. the members of rte legislature, since they have DBSSBLI no amount in the estimates for th.s work. 1t is true that a general amount was voted to carry 011 the ordinary expenditures o1‘ izovern- inent. from Dec. 31, 1940, until the passing of the next estimates, but. this is only for the ordinary func- tions of government. ano. not; for new capital expenditures. Since the legislature meets attain on ‘Maren 24. 1s 1t. too much to ask that this work be deferred until the monty is properly voted. or are our patron- age committees afraid that the for- mer members of the Legislature will frown upon this new needless ex- penditure at this time.
