lure the various officials their deliberations had the beet wlsheg of his Government. It was the conviction of the Government. he said. that the Provinces munici- palities should be built up. The Premier said his Government had given each incorporated town in the Province a contribution oi one dollar per caplta. Those six towns, therefore. had each receiv- fd recently an amount rang- lnB from approximately saoo m $1,500. Such a yearly contribution over a five-year period would er.- able those municipalities to in- crease their borrowing power Sula stantially since such borrowing Power was based on each town's come.

The Health Problem

'I"he Provincial Government was worried over the condition of the people's health in certain villages Houses were going up in all dir- ections and there was no sanitary provisions being made in many. sections for sewerage disposal. The purity of the dTlnklilg water was, ' therefore becoming endangered. l The Provincial Department of Health and Welfare had the most modern facilities for testing the purity of “later and he would in- vite any ivishing such a test to send samples of their drinking water to the Department for an- alysls. Uniform legislation for the various municipalities would make tow planning more systematic and efficient so that all such dangers of ilnsanitary sewerage disposal would he removed.

PICTIIIEI‘ Jones said tyere would be conferences held in the near future between the Dominion and Provincial Government respecting public investments and social security.

Main roads to places such as Borden and to the National Park at Cavendish would be considered by the Dominion Government as it! obligation and considcrablel money would be spent in the Prov- l ince that way. The construction. of public buildings in the various ' municipalities would also be sub- l stantiafly financed by the'Domin- ion Government under a “timing" plan which meant, the Premier said, that such works would not be undertaken until such time as unemployment might become of a. serious nature. The Dominion Government will also. the Premier said, make a grant to any murii-_ cipality undertaking town plan-l ning.

Social Security

The Dominion Government willl security l

also increase its social

contributions. At present two so-l lcial security plans are in opera-l

tion, old age pensions and family allowances. There will be others. the Premier said.

Commenting on the advisability of uniform speed-limit laws reg- ulations, the Premier said he was

‘puzzled one day while driving to-

ward Montague to see a sign which stated the speed limit on that highway was 20 miles oer hour. He could not understand by whose authority anyone had put up such a sign. He knew, he said.

the Department of Public Works

would not do it,

asign had been put up by order of

the Attorney General.

In concluding the Premise in answer to a question from Mr. Fields. said no regional 1111.1. schools would be elected anywhere in the Province until a Province- wide assessment had been made. "Until such a time, we can dc nothing." he said. _

Mr. Fields said. after the Prem- ier's departure, that he ivas sorry he bad not thought to ask the Premier what they could expect from the Government in the way of financial assistance toward de- fraying the expenses of drafting uniform legislation. It was his opinion. Mr. Fields said, that the Government should give the use of the Attorney Generals legal services to the municipalities for the drafting of the uniform legis- lation and that the services should be free.

Col, Fielding said he thought there was the possibility of the Attorney Generals unwillingness to enter upon such work. He had a large private practice and was only a "part-time Attorney Gen- cral."

Mr. Fields:—“I-Ie is a Minister of the Crown, is he not? As such. he receives a salary to attend to such duties. I'm not sure. but I believe he receives a full-time sal- afy and a good one."

Col. Fieldinrzl-"I cannot FRY what his salary is. But I do know that when I served in the Provin- cial Building some years i130, N10 than Attorney General dld M1 receive as high a afllfll‘? l! m. other ministers."
