This chammr was renovated last year. This floor was laid with linoleum in order that it might look’ decent at the time of the Cartier Celebration. ‘Ihooc are some of the things that we did regarding this building and we must do more be- fore the end of the year. I have here the report of Mr. Albert Baker. a. competent man. who deals with this building all over as tothings that are ‘ ‘ ‘ necessary to do. m. instance the furnace. room: "Wood beams supporting floors in very bad shape, also some piers. would recommeiiil wood floor and beams be replaced by steel beams, and reinforced concrete floor slab over this section of ‘building. Con- crete floor in Bell-airy Omce to be covcrnd with linoleum. Furnace flue is dangerous and should be rebuilt top tc bottom. Proper areas should be built. for coal delivery. Anout- side area with proper ash hoists at north side. Heating boilers are in bad condition and may have to be replaced. If so, room should be ex- cavated to deepen floor, floor to be concrete, sump pit which should be provided having automatic pump discharge. Coal and ash areas piped to sump pit under floor.

He estimates that it will cost over $40,000 to put this building in shape and if we don't do it thme two ends are liable to come down anv- time. You will are how bad it is. We had to put a lot of fireproof fil- ing cabinets in this building. We did start to renovate the room at the other cod.

I was able to get a mental expert come to this Province, lent to this Government by the Govern- ment of Ontario-Dr. Clark-who made an exact check over and a de- tailed examination of every patient that we had-mental patients and in the Infirmary-in order that we might see just what we needed. Then we had an architect but the whole burden of the criticism is that we could have repaired and re- built the west wing the same as the cast wing, and my friend, the Ex- Mirlister of Public Works, is thn man who makes this charge the oftenest and who repeats that the building was capable of being m. built. A man who has been Minister of Public Works ought to know better, and he says we did it with- out consultation. I want to tell him, Mr. Speaker, that I had oplnlona from builders who know juat as much about rulng as any one else in this country and I sent them there to give rne an opinion on the ruins of Raloonwood and one was Major J. B. Sterling of Montreal, Contractor and General Manager of the Cape Construction Company. and Mr. Alex McDonald, President and Builder of Halifax.

Look at all the work we had to do there this summer. Rc-build- ing the old Infirmary, as I said be- fore we have the patients there. We, had to build a milk house and last summer a properly refrigerated milk house. There was a. fine herd of cattle but for years, even under ourselves, the milk was not prop,- erly looked after. We had to build a coal shed. We had to put bale conies on the new building. There was our: balcony put on and we find it is of such a, great help another balcony was put on. we were con- demned for putting in a water sys- tem. I hfirle that through years we are going to have a proper mental hygiene unit out there and we are not going to have the same thing happen that happened before. In an emergency the water system couldn't be used, although it could be used the next night to put out a coal fire. We have the 01d P. E. Island Hos- pital under lease. It is a. splendid place for old people. We have a splendid man in charge at Falcon- wood now-Dr. Murchison. He is eminently qualified. Dr. McLauchq lan is his assistant.

We got $12,800 from him one time for work cleaning up around Falconwood and Prince of Wale; College, and wvr got $15,000 at another time for labour cost at Falconwood. Those are things that are worth while, because it relieved the rxpenditure on the people- of this Province to that extent. We received $571,000 for direct relief, unemployment relief work, re-con- structing Prince of Wales and Fal- conwood. Old Ago Pensions and on roads, in the last three or four years from Ottawa.

They say they are not enforcing the Prohibition Act. It is interesting, Mr. Speaker, to go over the record. I will not go back too far. Bezinning in 192'! there were 89 convictions. 192B, 117, 1929, 2'77, 1930.200, 1931, 160. 1932. 100, that la the year the Mounted Police came here, and in 1933, 2'74 and in 1934, 311. ‘That is‘ a. fairly good record, Mr. Speaker. The convictions are going up. They are higher today than they have evler been. But they say they are around at the Y‘.M.C.A. and at the bowling alleys and at the theatres and so onl They are not attending to their work! They am not "entitled to any recreation, those fellows! They should be work- lng all the time! What do they want to do anything for! They are here and they-should be working all the time. In 1928 tliern was 1,061 sear- ches under the Prohibition Act, in 1033 there was 2,369 searches, in 1934 there were 4,865 searches, an averages of 13 1-2 searches every day of the ;,ear, Sundays included, and they say those men arc not doing their duty. They talk against pretty strong evidence. Last your we had ETZVETRi requests from the western cud of the Island for more Mounted Policemen. People in the country probably have a better ap- preciation cf the value of these men than some of our professional pol-. iticians, especially during 1h: ses-' sion of the Hons-c. And you are wry often driven to the conclusion that it is not the iiltcrcsts of prohibition that is.tlie chief ihing bothcring them. It is not the record of thc Police that is bothering them, it is some criticism they can make in 90's Institutes of Canada-uni order to inc-kn a little political ad- |W111 b0 iiiwthcr source of ma» vantage.

We took the advice of mental ex- perts rcgardinr our building and what we needed and after Dr, Clark's report was received we were able to say how many patients we would need to house and the whole Mental Hygiene Council of Canada. approved of this. Dr. Mitchell and Dr. Naming, tognthcr with exports of the Ontario Government, Dr. I-Iinks, Dr. li/lcGiiic, Mi". Gcvan and several others and the plan that was finally evolved is patterned cn the Whitby Mental Hospital of On- tario. It was cut down to suit our modest requirements. I could read you a. letter from Ml‘. Govan "That the tentative suggestion for a plan of my buildings was prepared by my assistant in the Ontario Gov- crument Department of which I was the director for many years." Do you think we were proceeding without care when we yrere taking the advice and getting the benefit of the experience of the Ontario Government. "The proof of this fact can be men by preparing the plan submitted by Dr. Fleming with the Whitby Reception. Hospital . . ." and so on. And in those statements Mr. Govmi clzciv atten- tion to the fact that we should be saving at Falcoiiwoogl $16,000 t0 517.000 a year On coal and we have provnn that, we have sav-cd it. “Let- ter to Honourable Premier Stow- art. “As outlined to you yesterday. from the fizurcs already submitted to Dr. MacMillan. it can be proved that, in comparison with existing buildings, your costs, for heat, light and power. were approximately $16.- 000 to $17,000 pcr year 11131101‘ than need be the case.

As a check on my own preliminary analysis of the value of the ruins in a re construc- tion program. I have gone into the matter carefully with our engineer- ing associates, and.

In 1929 there were 367 patients there at an an- nual cost of $315 each. In 1930 the annual cost was $340 and in 1951 the average cost was $325 or an av- erage ccat of $327 r yrr or 90 cents a. day. That is u"‘."r my’ friends on the other aids cI ihe House.

The average cost per year for the laat three years was $85.00 per patient. Of course they will try to may that it ia all due to the differ- ence in coat of living. We know where the difference came.
