The present standing of the Pru- vince has been ably dealt with by ‘the member from Charlottetown (Hon. Dr. McMillan), but the speaker wished to say a few words on the bond queston. A great deal has been said about bonds and bond transactions. Mr. McDonald had gone into the matter very care- fully and would presentfthe results to the House to show that the Stewart Government since coming into power have made an excellent job 0t‘ bundling the bonds 0i the rovince.

Add to that the difference between the ac- tunl price received and the price paid, and the total carrying charge for $150,000 at 4% per cent. for 15 years would be $106,025. Take 1922, which was a Li-borll year. They issued that year $175.- 000, fifteen ‘ ' $100,637.

The interest for year at 5% per cent, was $8,375.00. Forfifteen years, calculating the same period, $125,625.00.

According to his appoint- ment, Mr. BisncheUs act ons were unfettered. He was told to find out the true condition of the Pro- vince, both up to September and at the end of the year. He made that report, and the Government. should receive credit for the straightforward manner in which the whoio business was conducted. it does not lie in the mouth: of the membe n of the Opposition t0 make any reference to that audit. because they are forever condemn- ed by the action: of the Liberal Government in 1919. The ‘man take, ii/thcy followed that advice, and then no doubt the member ‘for Summciside would be icady with crll clam.

An important plank iii the Stewart Government plat- form was that the public aflairs were to be conducted in a business- like way. it would appear that in every department the Government has succeeded in doing this. ti '_\ Highway Expendtture.

' ai-gcr of these are: jects. it has been claimed that the Conservatives condemned the highway scheme, but that is not true. in 1919 Premier Arsenault made every preparnton for inaug- urating this policy, and it was out-l lined in a resolution on the Jour-. nale that the highways grant would‘ be used ior the purpose of cutting down the hills and building up the low-lying places. The L bernls de- cried that policy at the ' time. Through the press, in the Legisla- ture and on the platform they de- nounced it as an "internal scheme." There was sufficient revenue, they, claimed, for every purpose, without. any additional tuxaLon. Yet when they came into power they follow- ed the policy of "right about face." They took up the highways scheme which they had denounced. buttbey failed to'fol_low out the well con- sidered policy oi‘ Premier Arsen- ault. They allowed the~road con- tracts to go to certain friends of theirs at figures which were abso- lutely -too high. This, Mr. McDon- ald declared, can be proved -by the facts, Unquestionirbly n large part of the money used in the. improve- meat of highways ‘throughout the Province in 1921 and 1922 was wasted.
