 It_must'be confessed that our__con_temporary has
surprised us' _in the mildness with which it has accepted
 announcement' of adeficit’ in "the public accounts.
We were prepared for a repetition of its pre-election
flarnboyancy, for a spate of excited invective and irre-
sponsible declamation at the expense of the Govern-
ment, but we have been agreeably disappointed. It
has accepted' the fact of a deficit in a somewhat
cliastened spirit, with a sort of subdued philosophy
which does it considerable credit. It seems to realize
and recognize that a deficit was inevitable in the past
year's transactions, and the only real and substantial
exception it takes is to our suggestion that the equinoc-
tial gales of September last had anything to dowith
the matter. Well,‘we were n`ot_'speaking \vith_'out the
book, and if our' contemporary will turn to pag¢»r2
of the Public Works report it will find the following
paragraph from the pen of Professor H._ H. Shaw,
Proviricial Engin`cer:-- - ~ " "
""-In regard to the large number of bridges requir-
ing to be rebuilt or repaired, it must be said that on
September 26th and 27th, the Province was swept by a
violent rainstorm. The' wind, blowing at first from
the south~west with a velocity of 32 miles per hour as
recorded at the Meteorological `Oftice veered to the
north-west, blowing with cven greater fury. At the
same tirnc, a tidal wave of extraordinary height
covered the bridges spanning tidal waters, and where
they were exposed to a long sweep from wind and
sea the greatest damage was done. The effects were
most disastrous on 'the' North Shore. Darnley Bridge
was almost completely ruined. The bridges' at St
Peter’s, Clermont, Indian River, Fullerton's Marsh
and Stanley suffered very( sevqrely. The Pisquid
Bridge over the _Hillsborough River had its cover
lifted completely oh’ the walls, which then fell into
the stream. In fact every bridge reached by the tide
was damaged in some degree. A fair estimate' of
the cost of rcpairing_the bridges damaged by this
storm would exceed $50,000.00. Happening as it did
at a season of the year when the fall traffic was just
beginning, immediate steps had to be taken to put them
in sufiiciciit repair to accommodate this traffic. Labour
and material, scarce and expensive under most fav-
ourable conditions increased in price with the forced
demand. _ , _ .  ,  _ ._ _
“ The Departmengwas comp_ellc<l‘t0 `fI_lQ_e`3l} \1n__-
forcsecn expenditure `far in eXc'ess`ol»tl1eyear's esti-
mate. ' Where temporary repairs could bginadc, these
were done; but many of the smaller bridges had to be
completely rebuilt and in the case of Darnley' Bridge it
_was necessary .to rebuild 800 feet of the-structure
which was done in a permanent manner."
This brooks no denial, and we do, not think our
Contemporary will attempt to deny it. The Patriot
makes no allowance for the effect of the war on the
revenue. A reduction of some $50,000 on the esti-
mated revenue due entirely to war conditions, and an-
increase of expenditure due to the war and other
circuinstances over which the Government had,_and
could have, no control, are entirely responsible for the
deficit-which, but for the economical administration
in- other departmeiits, might have been _considerably
correctness _ of our _assertion that the Nova Scotia
Government had to meet the House with a deficit of
$12o,oo‘o. We go farther. \Vith`a debt of $1 3,410,980,
the Province of Nova Scotia is compelled to use more
than one-quagter of its income in paying interest.
Last year the interest demand was $510,672 of a total
revenucnf $1,953,301. As the total expenditure was
$2,973,671, t_h_cre__ was _a_ deficitof $r2o,ooo.,_ _ ,. . 
_ The Liberals have been continiiously 'in offieéin'
Nova Scotia for about thirty years, and our contem-
porary surely will not deny that, with all the _resources
which that provincehas at its command, it_.w_as~ ina
better position to meet adverse_circ'umstances than we

however, that we havereaehed the
adcounts, and that for the current
