THE HURON EXPOSITOR
SEAFORTII, Friday, 9lurch 9, 1923
ON'I.tRIO'S POLITIC' -AL
SITUATION
Continued from icage 1
later of Public Work at a U. F. O.
picnic, shortly S the 'l
•
r t after close of the
first session, when in referring to the
Complaints regarding these, lavish ex-
penditures, said that, "Soon after the
orering of the tir,t session of the
House, a deputation of some 600 in -
tet viewed the Mind:ter of Public
works and were invited to dine up at
Government House, which invitation
was, of course, accepted. A few days
afterwards another deputation, some
120(1 strong interviewed the Minister
of Education, and they lou were dined
at Government House, and so, said
the Hon. Mr. Biggs, "under the late
Democratic Guvernor, Mr. Lionel
Clark, it is not such a bad place af-
ter all."
A glance at the Public Accounts
also reveals the fact that this Gov-
ernment have had some interesting
dealings with the legal fraternity of
the Province. This Cabinet of sharp -
sighted men ---keen of discernment,
wide awake and astute, having been
selected by the U.F.O. political, who,
previous to and during the election
manifested a dee
campaign,had decided
animosity towards the selection of
any candidates of the legal persuasion,
would certainly be able to handle the
lawyers to the entire satisfaction of
the general public! Of course, when
the Cabinet was formed they did re-
quire one member of legal standing,
as Attorney General, but with him
they would no doubt get along better
without legal talent. Imagine, there-
fore, the surprise of the people when,
before the session of 1:121 was far
advanced, Mr. H. H. Dewart, from
his place in Parliament, declared that
quite apart from the Attorney Gen-
eral's legal officers, County Crown
Attorneys, and Crown Council, the
Government had in its emplay no less
than ten Judges and 31 lawyers. His
words came as a decided shock! Sure-
ly that could not be true! But, what-
ever .may be said of Mr. Dewart, it
is generally agreed that, when he
doer express himself on any public
matter, he usually has good reason
for what be says, and any who doubt
him in this case only requires to
carefully peruse rue the official records
for the past three years to satisfy
himself that never in the history of
this Province have so many members
of the legal profession reaped such a
glorious harvest from the Public
Treasury.
Answers to questions in the Legis-
lature of February 7th, 1922, elicit-
ed a host of statistics along this line.
Among other items, the information
was tabled that Hon. N. W. Rowell
according to press report, Hon. N.
W Rowell, K. C. had received from
the Government $3600.00
and claims for legal services
an additional $9,200.00
His law partner had received
from the Government$7,500.00
and claimed n further 84,750 00
A. W. Roebuck, K.C., re-
ceived in 1920 $2,250.00
in 1921 $4,095.00
and the Public Accounts of
1922 show further sums,
Shirley Dennison, K. C...,,$12,500.0e.
W. D. Gregory, K.C. , in 1921, $2,740.00
in 1922, $1400 and 511800,.$13,200.00
Gordon Waldron, K.C., for
service to the fay. ..$11,017.00
Harding and Tandley, 1921
and 192? aeenunte 522,945.18
I. F. Hielmuth ,n 1921 accts, $21,712.50
and so on clown through the pages.
The Government certainly did not re -
numerate these men, upon the naris
of agricultural earnings, for their
service.
BOARD OF TRADE FAILS TO RE-
COMMEND CLOTHING FACTORY
PROPOSITION
At the request of the Mayor, who
had asked that they definitely state
their position regarding the proposi-
tion submitted to the Secretary of
the Board of Trade Mr. F. G. Neelin;
by Messrs. Alcock and Aikins, of
Toronto, for the establishing of a
clothing factory in our town, a meet-
ing was held in the office of the
Secretary on Thursday, March 2nd.
It was moved, seconded and carried
unanimously, that the following reso-
lution be pageed and forwarded to
the Council: Resolution—
"While we are of the opinion that
the estimate of profits, as set forth
by Messrs. Alcock & Aikins,'would be
difficult of realization, there appear%
to be possibilities of emcees; in the
manufacture of clothing, etc. in Sea -
forth, and we beg to submit the pro-
position with t.he, relative correspond-
ence

Thlsresolution, with all cor-
respondence that had passed between
Messrs. AlcoaA Aikins and .the
Secretary of the Board of Trade, in -
eluding their proposals, and the fol-
lowing letter addressed to the council
was banded to the Mayor on Satur-
day evening:
Mayor and Council,
Town of Seaforth.
Centlemen:
At a meeting of the Seaforth Board
of Trade, held on March 2nd, 1923,
I'nr the conpideration of the proposi-
teen submitted by Messrs. (llguck
Atkins, regarding the manufacture of
clothing was thoroughly discussed
from its various view points, of sue:-
cc•bsfui operation and the attached
resolution was unanimously adopted.
Trusting this will meet with your
esteemed approval.
Yours respectfully,
F. G. NEELIN,
Sec. of Board of Trade.
After giving this careful considera-
tion, the Mayor interviewed the mem-
bvrs of the Council and with their
approval sent the following letter to
Slr. Alcock:
M 1. Alcock,
237 Confederation Life Bldg.,
• Turonto.
Pear Sir. --In regard to our cnn-
veieation over the phone on Friday

'•r..olution passed by the Board of
1 -ads, at their meeting on Thursday,
March 2nd, with your proposals. and
all the correspondence that passed b••-
twesn you and the Secretary of •.he
Ila aro of Trade, was handed to ins

.au evening
-
I am forwarding you a copy 'rf the
;secretary's letter to the Council, anti
lid.) a copy of the resolution they
pcssed.
After interviewing the members of
the council, we were unanimously of
the opinion that as this proposition
was introduced by the Board of
Trade, and that having gone over and
fully considered, all the information:
at hand regarding your proposals,
they failed absolutely to give the pro-
position their recommendation or ap-
proval in their reeolutiory to the
cuuncil; and as the Board of Trade
is composed of some of our most
prominent business men, we feel that
it would be useless for the council to
K your give proposals their further con-
sideration.
P<
sideration.
We regret that your proposition
was one which, apparently, the Board
cf Trade wee unable to recommend
in their resolution to the Council, as
we would have been more than pleas,
ed to see a successful business estab-
h
h>..ed in our vacant factory.

I remain, yours truly,
W. H. GOLDING, Mayor.

Passed Scout Teat—The following
is an account of a test taken at Port
Huron for advancement of members
of the Boy Scouts of America of that
city, held on Wednesday, Fe}riary
2Sth. ft will he noticed that John
Doig, son of W. M. Doig, Lawyer, of
that City, was one of the successful
crndirlates. The h account of the test
as taken from the Port tjurnn Times
Herald. is as follows: "Only four
applicants nut of nine passed Scout
tests Wednesday night before a Smut
0304,1# Ronor h ld in the Chamber
of Otatimette. Ei:ht Scouts appear-
ed befell the court. for exa}pinatiolte
for a second rating. Of thi, number,
three succeeded in passing with can
average high enough to walarant their
obtaining a.second class rating. "The
reason for such a small number be-
ing suceeasful," said N. M. Miles,
Scout executive, "is that there was a
decided lack of knowledge of the
rudiments of first aid and this, I be•
Bove, was due to inadequate training
end instruction in this subject," Jas.
Sinclair, aesistarrt Scoutmaster of
Troop 8, passed one 'of the hardest
test: in Scouting and will be awarded
a merit badge in seamanship for pru-
ticiency in this brunch. Other Scouts

class.

Action Settled.—The action taken
by Mr. George Petty, on behalf of
M,•. Hudson, the defeated candidate
in,the least municipal election here, to
bevy the election declared void on the
ground that the proceedings were ir-
regular, has been settled out of, court,
It will be remembered that in a
three-r•ornsred fight on New Year's
Day, Mr, Owen Geiger was the suc-
cessful candidate, but as he had not
resigned from the Chalirmanship of
the School Board ten days before the
nomination, the election was objected
tn. On this ground he resigned and
entered the new contest with Mr.
Hudson alone, against him. On this
occasion the result was a tie, broken
by the Clerk in favor of Mr. Geiger.
Again his opponents protested his
election, claiming that people had
voted who were not qualified and
other grounds. It appears on inves-
tigation that several tenants, who hall
moved out of Hensall, meantime had
come back and voted and when this
weWet shown, Mr. Geiger agreed to
withdraw in order to save expanses.
Thea lice agreed to
applicant agehave nnnthrr
election end to withdraw other rhnrg-
es of irregularities. Tt is plensant
t'or the friends of Mr. Geiger to know
that he can in nn' way be blamed for
>n.
the voting of unqualified elects a and
that he will likely be persuaded to
stand again to serve his village..—
