Nash 6 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 P enee to the Town Council for their careful conside-'atinn Ant. suggest that the two principals nbove men- tioned should definitely state the re- so 121' ,tefeelYe t 15 w+� st110 � �bti grloch ti they are pre. hive•It' I Thlsresolution, with all cor- respondence that had passed between Messrs.

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.

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. ctor .

The ceremony was per - f rrner by Rev. A. E. Tiffin, of Blyth, xseieted by Mr. W. O. Robinson.

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.

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.
