WEEKLY REVIEW OF
THE LEGISLATURE.
The session of the Legislature may
be said to have reached its "peak" of
importance, possibly, last week, in
view of the, fact that the address de-
bate 'was concluded,- the budget
brought down, first report of the, Li-
quor Control Board tabled, and two
divisions held in the House. Debate
on the budget commenced on Tues-
day, with R. IF. Miller, of Haldi-'
Island, Liberal financial critic, lead-
ing off. Adjournment before Easter

On Tuesday of -last week the House
disposed of Frank W. Wilson's reso-
lution for legislation at this session
permitting sale of beer by the glass,
under the local option plan. Ilon. Mr.
Ferguson made it clear that the Con-
trol Act could not yet be considered
to have had a fair trial, and that the
government was not prepared
to
amend it in any material way. He
commented also upon the fact that
Mr. Wilson had argued: that men
usually became the worse of liquor in
publicplaces,andnot inthe home,
o ,
yet he was calling for establishment
of public drinking places for the sale
of beer. - The Premier having dis-
