York Rangers tonight retumed to
the scene of their greatest hockey _
triumph to renew their third-place
Stanley Cup playoff feud with Mon-
treal. Canadiens. Rangers brought '
with them a three goal lead to carry
into the second and final game here
tomorrow night, having defeated the '
aabitdnts s-z at New york inst 1
night.
It was on Montreal Forum ice, in
1928. that the Rangers took posses-
:'~r:i of the Stanley Cup for the only
year they have ever held it.
The two- teams returned from New ,
York in adjacent puilmans. Deter-
mination was the watchword in
Canadiens' camp. “We’re going out ‘
there to fight to a finish. We're
not downheartcd and I think the
boys can do lt. One goal early in
the game will set us off on the right
track. But, if we lose, there will
be no complaints,” Newsy Lalonde,
Canadiens' manager, stated.
_ “You can never icll what will
happen in a hockey game," Lcstcr
Patrick, loader of thc New Yorkers,
said. I’lI admit that a three goal
lead is a nice advantage to hold but
lt may mean nothing in thc long

OLD P. W. C. FOUNDATION
MI. LBPBSB Baked the Hon. thc
Minister of Public Works to table
answers to the following questions;
i. Did the Government instruct
my person or persons to make a
proper inspection of the founda-
tions of the Old Prince of Wales
College prior to their bciizy: dcmol-
ished?
2. If so,
(a) Give the name or names of
the person or persons so appointed.
(li) Give thc date of such ap-
poinimcnt.
(c) What was the nature of the
instructions given?
(d) When was the report on such
inspection received?
(e) Table report or copy thereof.
3. If no such Inspection was
made on whose recommendation
were the foundations demolished?
Answer:
l. Yes.
and Morris.
(bi March a, lsaz.
tc) To consider the possibility of
using the old foundation iii the
new building.
(dl In April when tentative plans
were submitted.
(f) Verbal report.
3. Answered in question 2.
Explanation:
The architects were instructed to
carefully consider the possibility of
using the old foundation in the
new structure, but owing to the
nlnny Changes that would bc neces-
sary to give the larger accommoda-
tion asked for, they found it more
@XP€nslve than a. new layout.
The old building with its large
class rooms and wide halls was
found to be extremely wasteful of
space and a ,sufficient number of
rooms could not bc obtained with-
out another storey, for which the
old foundation had not been de-
signed. It was also strongly urged
by the staff that the assembly hall
‘ should bc on the ground floor
which made it necessary to move
the building ln order that the play.
ilwllnd misht not be interfered
with.
All these things had to be taken
into account and in view of the
fact that the foundation walls were
of concrete and the most cheaply
constructed portion of the building,
it was found more economical than
to attempt to remodel the oh! plan.

unknown, during the daytime when
the cells were not occupied. The
mattresses being in thc cells, the
prisoners, having matches on their
persons took this opportunity of
scttiug some on fire. Apparently it
was at a. time when not many
prisoners were in the corridor on
the 3rd floor of the Jail. Immed-
iately the fires were discovered the
alarm was given and thc fire was
' cxiingulshcd.
It appears that the reason for the
burning of the mattresses was that
some of the prisoners were annoy-
ed at the Jailcr and wished to
bring discredit. or causc trouble for
him.
During thc past six months tlierc
have been an average of forty
prisoners por day confined in this
Jail, and the fact that thc prison-
ers are supplied with matches by
the Jailer, gives any one of them
the opportunity of setting fire to
any inflammable matter. '
The Jailer, Bruce Taylor, immed-
iately after the fires were reported
to him, states that he made every
effort to ascertain who had set
these mattresses on fire. but in
each case he met with very little
success and was unable ~to obtain
the name of the prisoner who was
responsible for same.
On the evening of Dec. 4, 1932,
there was a fire started by stuffing
paper in the sldc of the window
frame in an unused pantry in the
kitchen, which is in the basement
of the Jail. There was no damage
caused by this fire other than to
scorch the paint on the. woodwork.
No information could bc obtained
as to the origin of this fire. How-
ever, I had the prisoners given a.
lecture on the danger of fire.
Of course it is obvious that if the
prisoners had not’ been supplied
with matches there would have
been no fires in this institution.
Therefore, I recommend that in-
structions be issued to the Jailer
that no matches be supplied to the
prisoners for the purpose of smok-
ing, and that a certain time dur-
ing the day be set to allow the
prisoners to smoke after meals, and
that the Jailer be present during
the smoking hour or time set aside
for this recreation; and with your
approval I have instructed the
Jaiicr accordingly,
In my opinion the prisoners are
nil F-llnnyed at the Jaller for thc
reason that he is carrying out your
instructions in not allowing special
privileges to them by way of ob-
taining parcels with extra food, in
addition to their regular ration that
they receive from the Jailer. '
I have thc honor to bc, Sir, your
obedient servant,

also in this space.
"This fire was cxiingushed in
about ten nilnutes solcly by
chemicals. Had this fire burned
for another ten minutes it might
have reached serious proportions
and it would have been difficult
to handle, only for the construc-
tion` of the building."

the point where the firc was locat-
cti_ and he statcl. that tiic fire was
iiiot caused lllrougii rlcfcctue wir-
.lng in tho building.
. As instructed by you I had the
prisoners all searched and some of
them had matches on their persons.
These were taken away and handed
to the Jallcr. I also had all the cclll
searched, and placed a Constable
in the Jail to assist the Jailer dur-
ing the evening. whilst the electric
'wiring was being repairctl. as the
1 chemical -extinguisher had “'-.used a
short-circuit, putting out ine -lights
1 in the prisoners' quarters.
There were 34 male prisoners and
one female prisoner in the Jail at
j the time cr this fire. Quick cn-
quiries 'were made amongst the
prisoners as to the origin of the
fire, but all those questioned were
1 unable to give any information
about how it started. At this time
the prisoners seemed to be orderly
,and rcactcd to any instructions
given.
The Jaller states that in his opin-
i lon the origin of the fire was in the
nature of n reprisal when extra
food was stopped from coming into
the- Jail a few days previous.
I may state here that the food
or rations provided by the Govern-
ment for the prisoners in this Jail
is of good quality, wholesome, and
supplied in sufficient quantity to
satisfy the appetite of any man.
At the present time there are the
Chief Jailer, Bruce Taylor, and the
Assisiaut Jailcr, James Lamphier.
in this Jail. I would recommend for
your consideration that another
Assistant Jailcr be appointed for
duty at this Jail, as there are an
average of 35 pri.=oi1ei's a. month
confined tr, this institution and it
is necessary that one of tile As-
sistant Jailers be on duty all night;
therefore it leaves only the Jailer
to attend to all duties during the
day hours.
I will liuvc this firc investigated
by an undercover man, and n. fur-
,ther report submitted in duo
course.
I have the honor to be Sir, your
obedient .<crvont.
