Continued progrem was made in
the Budget debate yesterday aft-
ernoon and evening, the speakers
being Mr. D. F. Bethune (Second
Queens), Hon. Mr. Sharp, Minis-
ter of Agriculture, Mr. L. R. Alien,
(Fifth Prince), and Hon. Dr. Mac-
Millan. Minister of Health and
Education.
Continuing his spee.:`.i begun on
Wednesday evening, Mr. Bethune
compared graveliing expenditures
ill his own district; under both pol-
itical regimes. Mr. LePage had
stated that the late Liberal Gov-
ernment laid 11 1-4 miles in the
West River District. This Govcm-
ment in three months had laid
nearly nine miles. The Liberal cost
was over $2,400 per mile, while the
Coriseravtive cost was about $750
per mile.
Mr, Bethune had been informed
that under the Liberal Govern-
ment the senior member for West
River had hired and fired work-
men on his own account. The Con-
servative Government carried on
thework under the direction of a
capable foreman, with no political
interference from thc junior mem-
ber of the district.
Two bridges had been built in
the District, known as the Warren
Bridge and the Jewell Bridge, botll
being practically the same size.
But the Jewell Bridge under the
Conseravtives was built at less

Liberal Pronlisl-s
The illconsistcrit attitude of thc
senior member for West River oil
the subject of old ago pellsioizs was
analyzed by Mr. Bethune. It had
been called to the attention of Mr.
LePsge that sithougil he stated at
s. political meeting last August llc
had never promised old age pen-
sions to any person, it riumbel' of
residents of Rustico and vicinity
came to the piatfornl to refute his
statement. Owing to an agrccnleiit
between the cnndlds~t.°.s that no
others sllould speak at nlcctings iii
the District, these people did not
have the opportunity of lnakili; a
full statement.
Reference was also made by Mr.
Bethune to the Rocky Point
Wharf. This wharf had been neg-
lected by the Liberal Government
and both wings' vfere in bad sllnpc.
The mutter had since been taken
up with the Federal members and
it is expected to effect a saving to
the Province in this connection of
about $3,000.
The good work of thc Hamp-
shire boys' and girls’ livestock club
was also dealt with. The success
of this work on the part; of the
younger members of the commun-
ity was is source of great satisfac-
tion.
Mr. Bethune paid n warm‘ tribute
to the ability and fairness of the
Hon. Dr. _MacMlilnn, Minister of
lieved would give entire satisfac-
tion to all cseeds and sections of
