Dear Eir: t In confirmation of our recent conâ€" versation, we wish to state that, so far as we are aware, â€" plumbing and heating are at present in good supply.

I am pleased to learn that plumbing and heating equipment is available in . Timmins. Unfortunately, it will ‘be ‘appreciated that it is not responsible to proclaim a section of the Act in local aress. For admniistrative purâ€" poses it must be done on a Dominion basis.

Work Wanted Badly During the council meeting held on Monday Mr. Aubry made the followâ€" ing statement:.â€" ‘‘The letter says it must be done on a Dominion basis. Surely, the question is a national one, and must be settled by our represenâ€" tatives in Otawa. But there is no harm to our present view. A work program ‘ has to be carried out eventually.

And, at any rate, it is a shame that Canadians know so <little real prosperity in a country such as Canada." 40â€"Foot Lots ~This morning Mr. Aubry further stated: "The owners of 30â€"foot lots in Timmins can not apply for the Naâ€" tional Housing Loan, which stipuâ€" Istes 40â€"foot lots.

DUNBAR (Minister of Municipal Affairs): Mr. Speaker, reâ€" garding the return of the assessment made by two experts who went to the North Country:; I was asked to pick these two men for the Mines Branch, which I did, and they were sent up there. Since then Iâ€" have had a talk |] with Mr. Evans, and several others, | and I understood they were going to | make a survey of different properties and buildings, and the two surveys would be compared. I did not know ‘ there was any misunderstanding about that; The reason why I did not want' to go chead with it was because these people recommended certain municiâ€" palities were getting more money than they were entitled to, with which . statement I did not agree. Therefore, I | said to Mr. Evans, who is president of the Association, ‘"You put your men ' in to make an assessment, and we will compare the two assessments and see who is right and who is wrong." They have not reported to me that they made their assessment. If they want to see that, there is nothing private about it. It was intended as a benefit l to the mining municipalities. I thought before it was brought down, the minâ€". ing municipalities would put their 25â€" sessors in. and then we would coinpare one with the other. trrough, where we are appointing asâ€" sessors for the different districts, I think it would be better if they made their assessment first. The report is there. I have no objection to giving it to you MR. W. J. GRUMMETT (Cochrane South): Mr. Speaker, in reply to the hon.

He explained that ‘ if anyone thought the purpose of the Rod and Gun Club was to assure fishing and hunting for the mempbers, they were badly mistaken. The Rod and Gun Club was sold on the thought of conservation, desiring that fish and game should be corserved for the deâ€" light of future generaiions as well as for those of today.

So we agreed to put in an assessor, and have an independent valuation made, and they were to do likewise, and we would exchange, and compare notes. A S h They have not carried out their end of the contract, and have not done what they said they would do. If they will do that, I can assure the hon. member for Cochrane South (Mr. Grummett) that we will sit down and compare notes with them.

I wrote to British Columbia during the year and obtained their ° textbook and they certainly go very much further into the whole problem of alcohol educaâ€" tion in the schools than this governâ€" ment seems willing to do. When you look at the figures, you find that the increasing consumption _ of alcohol and the increasing number of drunkâ€" en convictions per year all indicate a very unfortunate trend, and you are not doing very much about it. $1,003 Last year, I drew to your attention the fact that you are bringing in $37,000,000 znd you are spending $1,000 on temperance education, â€" this Temperance Education Associaâ€". ‘tion. whoever they may be, and whatever thevy may do â€" but your program of zlcohol education in the schools is not a very strong one.

GRUMMETT (Cochâ€" r a n e South):; Mr. Chairman, I would like to mention one recent practice in â€" connection with the provircial police, and that is the promotion of the man to a rank, such as corporal. 1 feel that the granting of the rank of corporal to police officials in northern Onâ€" tario has done much to raise the standard efficiency amongst the detachment. Previously a man whom they ealled a "senior man" was placed in charge of a ment, and the men coming in did not ldok up to him as a senior ofâ€" ficer. During the past year the provincial police have followed out the practice of appointing a man a corporal, as soon as he was placed in charge of a detachment, As far as aur part of the north ig concerned, we feel it a definite improvement in the administraâ€" tion of justice, and the keeping of law and order in the north country.

Because the profits go towards someâ€" thing good, he feels . justified. That is a general attitude. And it is misleading.

COUNCIL NOTES DITOR = Right Or Wrong Single Copyâ€"Five Cents In my hand I have a report on taxation published by the Department of National Revenue for the year 1998. On page 145 I find that in the whole province of Quebec 400 farmers paid income taxes for the year 1946. They paid a total tax, Mr. Speaker,. of $14,000. Based on the number of farmers in the province, that would lbe about nine cents (9c¢c) each.

Mr. Thatcher: In 1946 paid more inâ€" come tax than all the farmers in the province of Quebec. I say there is something wrong. I have also the 1949 report, publishâ€" ed by the Department of National Revenue. It contains the 1947 tax figures. According to the report, page 139, I find that out of 155,000 farmers in the province of Quebec, only 540, or threeâ€"tenths of one per cent, paid income taxes. Some of my friends from Quebec say that possibly Quebec farmers are tco poor to pay income tax. That conâ€" tention does not seem valid to me. T have heard a good many of my friends from Quebec tell us in the house of the wonderful farms they have in Quebec, about their magnificent dairy herds, of the cheese production and butter production which is carried on. I have travelled through Quebec. It is a ‘very beautiful province. I have been amazed to find how attractive some of their farms are. Would any Liberal member in this say that in 1946 zll the farmers in Quebec Bbuid or should have paid only $14,000 inâ€" come tax?
