MAY SHARE IN AL-
BANY. ESTATE.
If some well knowe residents of
Seaforth or vicinity blossom out
shortly as millionaires, the following.
item from the London Free Press
may help to throw a light on their
sudden acquisition of wealth. Mr. J.
14, Robertson, and; Miss Robertson
were notified several ,months ago in
;regard to the matter as their mother
was a Buchanan, and also some
branches of the Gillespie &aimity here
and Buchanan descendants at Wal-
ton, Altogether there are over 300
interested.
"In this city • are two residents
claimed to possess an indisputable
righf•to a major Portion' of the $680,-
000,000 Buchanan estate of Albany,
New York, and both appear quite un-
perturbed at the thought that within
a compara'tive'ly short time they may
be woe th' millions, since the estate is
due for -distribution in a few months'
time.
"They are George Young, black-
smith, of 709 King street, and Mrs, J.
W. Moss, 672 Dufferin avenue, broth-
er and sister, who are grandchildren
of the David Young, of Albany, who
through a marriage into the Buchanan
family, became the •prin'cip,al heir to
the huge fortune,
"The estate in question is largely in
the City of Albany, consisting of pro
-petty on which a good shrove of the
business section of this New- York
State city is built. The estate was to
be distributed 99 years after the death
.f
Buchanan, and the will is said` to be
ori file at the present time in the Sur-
rogate Court of New York, with dis-
•tribution dee 11 the course of, a few
months. There are about SO heirs,
many of them iu Western Ontario.
'Interviewed -by The Free Press
both ,Mr. Young and Mrs. Moss said
their famely was well acquainted with
the fact that at such an estate existed.
On several occasions attempts had
been made towards dis'tribu'tion of the
money, but these had been unsuccess-
ful, with the undersitandingexisting
that nothing could be done until'the
99 years were tip. With the matter'
now before the courts the question
has been revived in the Young family,
and steps will be taken to see their
claim is properly, dealt with. On,
previous occasions it had been cal-
culated, .with the assistance of legal''
advice, that the shares of both' Mr.
Young and Mrs. ' Moss would be
worth from $10,000,000 to $12,000,030,
"Wllien the Free Press .celled on
Mr," Young at his Adelaide street
blacksmith shop hie only ,comment on
the prospect •of his'becoming•a rival-
lionatre
was a -smile and a cttrt, "I
hope so." `I have no doubt that few
people . have better- claim to a share
of the money than myself anti Mrs.
Moss" he said. ''‘But that doesn't say
weare going to .get it. The matter
has been up for discussion'before and
we have had lawyers working on it.
But nothings ever came of that, and
probably it will be the same way
this,case. But.there's always a chance,
and if the fortune is about • to be d'is-
rtibut d T
e well see 'what -can be done
about it." The two-liotidoners have a
number e�e brothers and sisters, none

FROM OTTAWA.
'With widespread depression and
even distress. in Canada, comes • the
que's'tion of social Ottawa. "Will the
opening of Parliament be delayed un-
til .the new Governor General arrives
so the `drawing room' may be held "
'The answer is emphatically "Nol"
Parliament will assemble the very
day. the Government can present to it
the legislative program which will, in
its opinion, best meet the needs of the
country in the relief of distress, in
the increasing of emp-loyment and in
the promotion of permanent growth
and prosperity,
If a new Governor General is here
that day he will open the session, 1•1
he is not some one else will do so.
but most certainly the G'overn'ment
will not postpone by one minute itis
efforts 'on: behalf of all Canada in or-
der to let three or four hundred wo-
men—whose idea of distress is two
or three fewer evening gowns a year
—to flaunt their .glad rags in the face -
of genuine suffering.
a;. 4:. *
It -would be unfair to suggest, of
course, that any such imper'.tinent
proposal is generally advanced or en-
tertained. Certainly the Government
does not share it, . Except where rea-
sons of health have demanded brief
periods of rest every member of the
cabinet is on the job six days a week
and some of them even believe- that
'present circumstances justify them in
breaking, the Sabbath with official'
duties. There will be no recession
until Parliament tweets. Mr. Bennett
is himself setting the pace with twelve
hours, or more, a day .at his office,
and still more work in • hi's rooms.
Neither he nor his colleagues are
worried about evening gowns, - It is

Further emergency legislation—
some of which was outlined by the
Premier at Regina—is now being
whipped into shape. Largely it is
directed to meet conditions in the
Prairie. Provinces, particularly on the
farms. In addition to this, it will be
recalled that the unemployment re-
lief measures voted at September's
special seeston•lapse automatically on
March 31st. Unemplaymene will not
lapse then and it will be surprising if
some special provision is 'not required
.10 carry on through - even simmer
months; for it is not hoped tivat the -
usuallu
to me of spring, sunnier and
fall work will he available .to those
who have been unemployed through
the winter. By fall a a decided better-
ment in conditions is expected b - all
p y
the official prognosticators and is
hoped for by others.
Even so, next winter can hardly be
normal. Hence the Government may
wisely take ,authority to deal with un-
usual conditions subsequent to March
31 --probably for a year, after that
date. In this way another special fall
session of Parliament' would not be
required, unlete exceptional - circum-
stances occurred,

At this writing it does not appear
that the Government can' get its leg-
islative program ready forpractically
two months and if a guess were be-
ing hazarded it would be that the
House will open during the first, or
second week of 'Meech. Emergency
measure and other directly -'concern
ed with present economic conditions
demand much time and care but there
are also many other natters that .can-
not be long left in abeyance.
There are Old Age Pensions, the
burden of which the Government in-
tends to lift from the shoulders of the
Provinces and municipalities that the
aged poor in all Provinces will re-
ceive uniform treatment. There are
national highway and other transpor-
tation issues on which Mr. Bennett
plede'ed Himself. There are the heavy
and routine duties of administration.
And first and last there is the gen-
eral revision of the tariff out of which
more then any other action, Mr. Ben-
nett believes will arise a more per-
manently prosperous country and
people.
