Provinces And Dominion DISCUSS Relief Work (Canadian Press) OTTAWA, Jim. 26—'I‘hc question of whether persons receiving relief in the municipalities should be re- quired to do public work in return has been much discussed between the Provinces and the Dominion.

When the Provinces met last April they told the Dominion as paving, sewers, and sidewalks‘ Government that the policy of con-‘ ducting public works instead of di- rect relief could not go on owing to the financial condition of tho municipalities. Much heavier ex- penditures were required for public works than for direct relief. It was" because of this attitude that the policy of public works was discon- tinued. (Canadian PIES!) SYDNEY MINES.
