'The Government has not had a great deal of time, sine,. taking office, and there have been by-elections and ether matters to take care of, but still the legislative prorr•nmme will be well" under way, it is believed, before the House meets. Estimates are getting into shape in the various depart- ments and these will come down to Council for an application of the pruning knife very shortly, so that before they go to Parliament, there will be little left which could be cut out. During the week the party whips have been busy allotting seating and room accommodations to the members of the Commons and particularly the full cabinet is in attendance at all meetings these days, the ministers without portfolio having come in from their homes to lend their assistance in deciding. the many knotty ques- tions wlith which the Government is confronted. Soon the new Govern- ment will bring several of its policies into the light of day and offer them for a,pproval of parliament and the public. * b * An indication of the policy to be followed with regard to public ex- •,penditure is given in the cancellation of the ice=breaker contract awarded by the Meigthen Government, in its dying days, in an effort to win a Montreal seat for Hon. C. C. Ballan- tyne. The Vickers people had secur- ed the contract a few days before the election, and nothing having been done on it, and the new Government leaving learned that a former Can- adian ice -breaker could be bought at assaying of approximately a million dollars, work was ordered to stand over until the Government had been able to investigate the matter. The investigation culminated in the purchase of the John D. Hazen, an icebreaker, built in Montreal and turned over during the war to the Russian :Govern.ment, which vessel was lying at Cherbourg, France, for some time. To make •sure that the Hazen was in good condition and a 'good buy, the Government had Lloyd's shipping Agency send a rep- resentative over to Cherbourg and make a special survey of the vessel. His report was that the ship was a8 good as new and was worth approxi- mately £,305,000. But the Govern- ment found they could buy her for £95,000, so the Vickers deal was , much to the disappointment of some of the Montreal interests, but the result was a saving to the people of Canada of one million dollars. There are one or two drydock con- tracts on the Pacific Coast, let in the pre-election days, which .may meet a similar fate if the 'Government finds that they are not necessary and -.that the expenditures can be averted now. it when her within a few we loom over the cutnmun y two hours long ur so, teen years, then moving to Bayfield, talcing uNice the C.n'ernment will be demise was announced on 'Ihursitiv As for a school affair, it surely was living here for flue years' Their' able to came before the country with f list week.

Wells.—The women hold a concert on February 14th in the Community Hall. A gdod programune was giv- en and refreshments were screed. S. . . Just'.hat form it will take is jet uncertain, but it is expected also that there will be some legislation which will seek to guard the public against the operations and machina- tions qs combines and monopolies. There was such a measure on the Statute books a few years ago, but' with the appointment of the Board of Commerce this was wiped out. Then the Board of Commerce died, and the public was left without any protection. This feature was touched upon by the present Prime Minister during ,bus election campaign and it is known to have received considerable attention at the hands of various members of the Government since they took office. With Hen. Janes Murdock, a former commissioner of the Board of Commerce on hand to advise the other members of the Gov- ernment as to protection necessary for the consumer, it is expected that whatever measure is'brought in it will give the citizens of Canada sufficient justification to feel that they are no longer at the mercy of profiteers as in the past.
