For a considerable time there has been talk about the way relief was be- ing administered at Sturgeon Falls, Ont. Eventually the Ontario Govern- ment sent a special man to the town to administer relief, and now an enquiry into the administration of relief in the town during the past two years is in progress at Sturgeon Falls. Judge J. M. Hall. of Sault Ste. Marie, is con- ducting the enquiry as a Royal Com- missioner, while W. H. Williams. K.C., of Pembroke. is the representative of the Government. Evidence so far has been sensational and startling. It apâ€" pears that permanent town employees at Sturgeon Falls, who were never on relief, were paid in relief vouchers out of the Government relief funds. Town councillors received wood from the municipal wood yard established for relief purposes. One town councillor is said to have been drawing rent from five houses through the relief fund. The Government had agreed to pay two-thirds of rents, but it was under- stood that these rents must 'be kept down to the minimum. The records showed as much as $40.00 per month being charged for houses. while the rents seemed to vary from month to month. Mr. Williams, conducting the case for the Government, said he be- lieved it would be shown before the en- quiry concluded that an arrangement had been made with the landlords to accept two-thirds of the rents and then the town had billed the Government with the full amount paid the land- lords as being two-thirds of the rentals paid. In one case a landlord was given $18.00, while the Government was billâ€" ed with $28.00. When the relief officer, Joseph Cote. was on the stand last week, there was much of discouraging information elicited about relief. Cote at the time said repeatedly that he did not know this or that about relief. and that he had signed the orders on instructions from members of the council. Cote told the Commissioner that Council- lor Paul Villeneuve was receiving rent from the relief fund for five houses. Evidence showed that J. A. Fortin town assessor, was paid $90 in relief vouchers in a. period of two weeks for work he performed as a permanent employee. Even horses were put on relief. “Owners couldn‘t buy feed for their horses. so the horses were given jobs by the town. Nothing is supposed to be given for horses. but they got it here," the Commissioner was told. Orpheda Quenneville. auditor. ‘drew relief regularly but was also paid 8400 since March for auditing the town‘s books. Chief Constable Wilfred Leclair was paid $40 a month in relief vouchers in addition to his salarly of $85 a month; Constable A. Cusson got 340 a month reuef and $50 cash. and Constable John Leneche got $25 a month relief and $50 a month cash until oflicials of the wel- fare department had come to Sturgeon Falls and investigated. Scandal in Relief at Sturgeon Falls Horses on Relief. Prominent Citizens in Steady Employment Also Re- ceived Relief. Evidence Sug- gests Town Juggled with Rents. Cote said the relief was never actual- ly paid the constables. since they en- dorsed their vouchers back to the town. Cote said Fire Chief Armand receiv- ed no relief ; town superintendent Amedee Blais and town foreman Pascal Martin and Deloraie Dignard each drew wages of 40 cents an hour on re- lief. Fire Engine Driver Leon Galipeau received clothing to the value of $122.95 over a period of five months. He lives in a company house for which he pays no rent. and receives a salary of $50 per month. Town Foreman Norbert Genereux received 338 relief during Au- gust and September while drawing $2.40 per day wages. fi‘“\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\S$\\\S\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\“\\S\\\$‘j THURSDAY.

In the matter of discrepancies in rentals charged Judge Hall said they would have to be eXplalned.

Mira Rolled High Single 323. and High Total 814. When a former mayor, Zotique Ma- geau, was on the stand he told the Com- missioner that relief given to residents in 1931, while he was in office, was far tco high. He intimated some of the proceeds had been used for silk stock- ings and silk bloomers. He also told the Commissioner that a baker listed as receiving $110 should not have got any relief at all, while another appilicant who received $92 was in his opinion equally undeserving. He had frequent- ly disagreed with the 1932 mayor and council as to the amounts paid for re- lief Mageau added. Results Last Week in McIntyre Bowling In the McIntyre Bowling League last week.

One family with two children received as much as another with four. He found one clothing order for $62. which Cote explained was for a family of nine. Another one which commission counsel described as “fishy," was a family wlth nine Childrenâ€"aged 4, 6. 8, 10. l2. 14, 16. 18 and 20 years of age. “No, he‘s a papermaker, solemnly replied.

You wocd from Springer Township. yet you charged him $10. He worked for the town and was paid by voucher for $10 relief. He handed the voucher back to pay for his license," said Judge Hall.
