GEO. SPOTTON SPEAKS
ON THE GC FR.ICH
, HARBOUR
Mr. Chairman, in these dying hours
of the session I hesitate to take up
very much of the time of the house,
especially in view of the extreme heat
which many of ;the thin men in the
house feel so greatly, But I have
not unduly trespassed an the time of
this house duringthe present session,
consequently I feel that it is my' duty.
on behalf of my constituents in the
town of Goderich, to place upon re-
cord the great national' importance
of Goderich harbour, and to try to
show that it is a ,national necessity
1 that the Work there should be pro-•
deeded Within•a more energetic man,-
Icer.
1 i 1 haye" 'not risen to criticize .the
Minister of .Public Works with -regard
to tine am nnt placed in the estimates
this year for harbour improvements
at` Goderich, namely $205,000, which,
IMien he viewed Canada ,from coast
to coast, was perhaps the amount be
thought we were justly entitled 'to.
I ant not atthemoment complaining
of the, amount of tate vote, What I
dam asked ,by his own political friends
Ito do is to stress the .fact ,that -the
i work should be proceeded with ener-
i getic:allyand that the amount placed
in:the estimates -1),e spent. Last year
there was placed in the main estina-
ares $75,000 for this purpose, anal the
people of Goderich and western :Ott-
terio were delighted when the' 'ntiti-
ister 'brought
Clown in the suplale-'
n entary estinfates'an additional $100-
000.. But they were not so delighted
when they tondo at the end of'the
year that ' out of this $100,000 which
be brought down In the supp)emen=
buy estimates he had spent only $10,
000. The minister may meet with
difficulties which1 do not understand,:
but what we would like 'to have done
M'r•. Elliott Fust a moment,' s,o that
there shay be mo misunderstanding.
Is my' lion. fi'ierta under tate intpres-
stun that only $10,000 was spent on
the harbour of Goderich last year?
Mr. Spotton: No, 1 did not say that.
I said that $75,000 was brought down
in the main estimates.. Then the pet),
Ole' of the town of Goderich and
Western Ontario rejoiced to know
that the minister had brought down
an 'additional,. $100,000 in the suuple-
ntentary estimates; rut of this ad:
ditional '$100,000 they 'were chagrined
to Learn that only $10,000 'Was spent.
—In' other' words, of the' $75,000 in
the main: estimates and the $100,000
iM . the supplementary estifnates
$175,000 in all—the department ex-
pended only $85,000; $90,000 was re-
turned to the .treasury 'and is handed.
back to us againthis year.
This is the point that I alai trying
to" -stress; we are satisfied with the
$205;000 which the Minister has plac

ed m the estimates, provided it is
spent, hitt when the governilment; and
the,department sent out the lnni
fora,'
tion -that tpr the purposes .01 a cet--
Iain public work, $175,000 is to be
aplrropi•iated, thus getting the adver-
tiling effect of that announcement,
and then spendonly $85,0.00, holding
bade $90,000 and handing it to us a-
gain the next year, we';thinie they are
very inuclt in the position of an old
gentleman 'Up 'in 'my natil,e toivnshili ".
who used to give itis. -son: a penny.
to go to bed without his Supper, and
when the poor litt1e fellow was sleep-
ing tite old Mian' stole the penny and
gave it to him again the next night.
Now, I, admit. that this' administra-
tion is an excellent advertising insti
intion, and I want them. to get full
credit for everything they do, But,
1 ish'to state this: that every school
child in the town of Goderich',knows'
that this government took the -adver-
tising effect of $175,000 .last year • but
spent' 'only $85,000. In. fact, .Mr,
Chairman; if you take, the revotes of
the last four years it almost 'equals.
the $205,000 which we are Vetting
this year. The Minister explained to
tite deputation that he. had his troub-
les, that as 'the estimates were late in
going through. it necessitated . some
'illela} in getting the work sttrtecl.-. It
should thinlc that With unfinished eon-

rirl-IE greatest safety feature on any auto`
'mobile -the braking system—has bee1A
developed on the Ford car to a degree that
insures absolute driving confidence. Being
fully enclosed, the internal expanding
brakes on all four wheels are free from any
clanger of impaired performance from mud,
sand, road .dirt,, grease or other foreign
=natter entering the mechanism. or between
.the bands and drum..
The four wheel system is operated by a foot
pedal, while the emergency or parking
system of two brakes, one ora each rear wheel,
is distinct' and separate,operated by a har=d
lever. This added security is na.de possible
through the unique : design. of the Ford steel
spoke wheels to which drums are fitted to
accommodate two sets of internal brakes on
the rear wheels.
The smooth, even braking :of the Ford car
yields snore'advantages than maximum
safety at all times, since it makes tixes last
longer and adds imreasurably to riding ease
and driving comfort

Mr, Cameron, who : hadrepresented.:

had b'appointed a'comnussion to. take

right along the coast line from Sar-
nia to Toberntory. That °annuls-
sion reported that Goderich was the
only harbour of refuge' along ' that
stretch of 150 or 200 miles, and Sir
John Macdonald's administration, '-at
the request of a Liberal member re-
presenting that riding, took action in
