Provinces And Dominion DISCUSS

Relief Work

(Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Jim. 26—'I‘hc question of whether persons receiving relief in the municipalities should be re- quired to do public work in return has been much discussed between the Provinces and the Dominion. The opinion expressed here in de- partmental circles is that the pro- posal of Montreal to have persons receiving relief do such lmiid labor

would be quite satisfactory both to the Provinces and to the Dominion.

When the Provinces met last April they told the Dominion

Government that the policy of con-‘

ducting public works instead of di- rect relief could not go on owing to the financial condition of tho municipalities. Much heavier ex- penditures were required for public works than for direct relief. It was" because of this attitude that the policy of public works was discon- tinued.
