Mr. H. H. Acom presented a petition from the Mayor and Towii Councillors of the Town oi 5ouris for the passing of an Act to amend the Souris Incorpora- tion Act. 1910. A bill in accord- ance with the petition was read. The following Government bills

were introduced and read:

An Act to Amend the Vital Statistics Act: an Act to Amend the Chancery Act, 1910: an Act to Amend an Act reSP¢0liln8 B NH- tionai Park (Premier Campbell). The Dairy Industry Act (VI-Ion. Mr, Dennis).

An Act to Amend the Public Health Act, (Hon. Mr. McGulganJ.

REMUNERATION FOR LOAN BOARD

On motion of the Premier the House went into committee with Mr. Baker in the chair on second reading of an Act to Amend the Election Act, 1922. “As the House is aware," the

promoter said. "a commission or board was appointed less than a year ago to administer the fund of s50.o00 created by 2 grant 01 525.000 from the Dominion Gov- ernment and a similar contribu- ‘ion of the Provincial Government. it was felt by the Executive that "ie administration of that fund .hould be in the hands of a icarci directly responsible to the Government and the Legislature. For that reason the members of :hc board were comprised of one :ncmbcr of the Fhrecutlve Council. the honorable President. and two private members of this Assembly. Time men devoted it great deal of time and energy and attention to the administration of thc Act and, I think, carried out their work very efficiently and satis- factorily. Owing to the provisions of the Election Act it was impos- .sible to make any provision for their remuneration. The object of this amendment is simply to enable the Govemment to provide r modest remuneration for the

services of thc l“ishermen's 1./Jan Board.

The bill was agreed to without

discussion.

Old Age Pensions

On motion of Premier Camp-

bell the House went into com- mittee.with Mr. Baker in the chair on an Act to Amend the Old Age Pensions Act. The amend- ment, in pursuance of a request from the Federal Government provides that the expression "general scheme" in the Act may include an arrangement for grant- ing of Old Age Pensions to the blind at an age earlier than the age at which pensions are grant- cd to others.

Hon. Mr. Allen asked, why not

include the hopelessly crippled as well as the blind, under this pro- vision?

Premier Campbell: “The Federal

Act does not provide for it."

I-Ion Mr. Allen: "But when the

Federal Government was opening up the Act they should have made provilon for cthcrs as well as t-hose who were blind.

Premier Campbell: “That could

easily be provided for by adding alter the word “blind” the words “or any persons otherwise incapa- cltaled."

Hon Mr. LePage: “It would have

to be pa"sed by the Dcmlnion Gov- ernment "

Premier Campbell: “Oh yes, I

take it that the hon. member from Summersfde merely suggests that we should put ourselves in a posi- tion to take advantage of any such legislation that the Dominion Gov- erment may pas at a later date ”

Hon. Mr. Allen: “They may bring

it up next year."

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: “I think it

would be as well to leave it alone until the Amendment is passed at Ottawa."

Mr. Llnkletter: “Doc`apersoii to

receive a pen ion have to be totally blind? There are people in the country who are so blind that they cannot easily walk alone, yet they can see the light and with a. little aid can move about Does this blind pension cover that. Then again the suggestion made by the member from 5th Prince referred to crlppics I think it wou‘d be a great advantage to include that in the legislation " I

Premier Campbell read tl\€

federal bill's definition of n blind peron as one “who is and con- tinuesso blind as to be unable to perform any work for which cyc- right. is essential "

The bill was reported agreed lo

Land Assessment Act

On motion of Premier Campbell

the House went into committee with Mr. Foley in the chair cn an Act to amend the Land Asessment

Act. 1924.

The Premier explained gmt ce,-_ tain functions in eonnccgipn with the land taxes arc specifically in the Act to be carried out bv a collector. Since the pe..s~ing of 'thc 'Act successive governments have made use of the scrvicc cf an 0f_

M\f.lSa\glle:u“We miglit tnko into

consucra on is nestion of assess- ment of lands. qAt the present time I think there should be a new assessment. There should be pw. Der men appointed, acquainted with the different sections, to gg over the assessment. The last time that

X: done wat: in 1920 and slime that

e a grea many ro r es have

changed hands. andpsogiee of them | have increased in value and to my I mind the whole thing is in an un- satisfactory condltlon, I think it would be wise for this session of lille Legislature to provide for rea.sse:sment.of the land: in this

Proylgitiae lnuorder that the taxes m'gi e co ec ed roperly. One of the criticisms is tl?at the people who owe taxes are 'not doing their duty." '

Premier Campbell: "I quite agree

as to the necessity of a general re- lnspecticn and reassessment of pro- perty but I do not think it is nece- sary to introduce a bill for that 'purpo':e. I think the present Act already provides that may be done in a depertniental manner How- ever, during the :esslon we will look into that question, and if any ad- ditional legislation is necessary we will .see that it is introduced "

Mr, Mustard: "Has the depart-

Znentvnntofficlal no}i\/lvvligse duty i' o co ec arrears o an axes?" Premier Campbell: ‘ Not_ only

land taxes- all taxes.”

Mr Mustard: "Can you give us

an idea of how successful that has een?" , Premier Campbell: “I think that

latter the Public Accounts are tabled iwe will be in a better position to l discuss that "

Mr. Mustard: "I know of

properties which have been vacant for ten or fifteen year: and the land tax has been accumulating until it is doubtful if the owners lhave any equity at all in the prcpcriy. and there has not been ‘any attempt at all io clear these i cases up."

Premier Campbell: “That is quite

true: the situation has come to a lcritlral stage in the very respect lwnicit my hon. friend from cardi- igan has mentioned We appointed ,three tax collectors last ear to

icu`ty and interview the owners of properties where possible. and obtain all necessary particulars. Ono of these officials ls a full- time man. the others are part time men who perform other duties in the public sen/icc. A considerable amount of information was collect cd and a goodly amount; of arrears ‘of land taxes were collected.

"I was in hospital for ten weeks.

owing to kidney trouble. When I was discharged I felt like an old man, although I am only 31. If I stooped to do anything it was ag- ony to straighten up again, sep- eral people advised me to try Kruschen Salts. I tried them and

I cycle 28 miles e dey to and from work, and shall keep up the daily dose of Kruschen because I can now do the journey to and (mm work and not fecl any worse for it." --S.V.C.

When the internal organs cease

to do their work properly, impurities begin to accumulate in the system, and cause troublesome symptoms. Kruschen Salts help to stimulate the liver and excretory organs to healthy. regular activity, and thus assist them to_ rid the system of harmful impurities.

suggested that he knows of several properties which are in that con- dl¢l0U. where arrears of taxes have been piling up and no effort has been made to collect. I am sure the Tax Department would be greatly obliged if my hon. friend. or any other members who know of any such properties. would interview the supervisor of taxation and find out if these properties are on the list which he has prepared for advertl"ement. If not. he will be only too glad to see that they are added to the list; and as soon as the present list is disposed of there will be another list advertised, and so on in frequent succession."

Mr. Stewart: “It would not be

desirable to repeat a lot of hearsay and gossip.”

Premier Campbell: “Possibly not,

but the staff is not in a position to carry out thorough investigations. and any assistance they may get from the members will be appreci- ated."

Mr Cox: “There are many taxes

in arrears that you will never get without sel`ing them out; and there i* nobody going to do that."

Premier Campbell: “We will write off the taxes that arehopeless "

Mr. Cox: “That is what you

should do "

Mr. Wr‘glit suggested that before

a sale cf land the tax arrears should have to be paid.

Premier Campbell: “Some official

will receive the payment of the texes in consideration of the lien."

Hon. Mr. U31-‘age: "i think

there. ir. quilc :4 lot of virtue in what thc. hicinber from Suininrr- side (Mr. Allen) rays. I ca.n't seo any reason why that could not bo done. It should be necessary before a property changed hands, that a. receipt should go to the registry office. It that was done we would

get the money.”

Mr. Trainer: "That would place

more work in the lawyers hands. Some person would have to attend before the supervisor of taxation in these matters."

Hon; Mr. LePage: “This would

only apply to taxes in arrears."

Mr. ’I‘rainor: "Is the registrar of

I-ion. Mr. Allen: “I know of a

number of instances where they were uninformed in purchasing property and were surprised t0 learn of thc arrears in taxes."

Premier Campbell: "I don't

This was supposed to cover' the services of counsel in Court but it made no allowance for prepara- tion of the case.

Mr. Acom said he understood

that the object in increasing the amount to be sued for in thc County Courts was to keep down extravagant costs in the Suprmc Court. 'I‘herc was a danger that this legislation might be de- parting from that objective.
