Scores Road--Building. The first advocacy of sweepstakes operation in Ontario from a Legis--| lature member also fell from his lips. | "'Fanatics'" would protest, he said. but . there were always a lot of "fanatics" | in Ontario, and a lot of their opposi-- | tion would be eliminated, he felt, if the moneys raissd through sweep-! stakes were diverted to care of unem-- | ployment conditions. | Only by op:ration of such sub-- commissions, he argued, could the neseds of the power users be studiod and met to the degree to which they wore entitled. The Carleton member suggested that each subcommission should rs-- port cnce a month to the main Com-- missicn in Toronto, and that it be composed of an electrical enginser, a business and financial man, and a construciliscn expert. ' A year ago, he pointsd cut, the Gov-- ernmeont avthorizsd the Hydro Com-- mission to spend $1,000,000 on a new hsad--office building.

Mr. Acres expresssd his disapproval of the building of a trans--Canada highway at a time when the country was in the grip of a depression, and claimed that it would be far better to take the funds expended thereupon Complcte reorganization of the present hcad--cffice system of Hydro administration, with the present Com-- mission looking after the needs of To-- ront> and the Niagara dGistrict, and with three new subcommissions for Westoarn, Bastern and Northern On-- lario, was urgsd upon the Henry Government in the Logislature debate early this (Thursday) morning by A.

CHANGE IS URGED IN HYDRO SYSTEM BY TORY MEMBER A. H. Acres Demands Re-- organization and Creation of Subcommissions M ar Obvicously ruffled, the Prime Minis-- ter rose in his seat to protest the tone of the man from Glengarry's assertion, |erd to make the declaration already | noted. NOTHING DISCLOSED BEARING ON HYDRO, PREMIER ASSERTS This brief but electric passage in an evening of dragging Budget debate was precipitated by the unusually stormy attitude on Hydro matters of mild-- mannered, mild--voiced John A. Sang-- ster, Liberal member for Glengarry. "I wouldn't touch on Hydro at all," he said, "were it not for the fact that the Government and its supporters are tagging all the blame for the dis-- closures in Beauharnois and other things to the Liberal Party." To Pre-- mier Henry's interruption, "They got you pretty cheap," Mr. Sangster re-- plied cynically: "Don't you get me started. I can give you some scandal that would get your hair curling." From Premier George S. Henry the Ontario Legislature last night had the emphatic declaration that there was nothing in the Beauharnois Committee evidence that would indicate that the $125,000 payment to John Aird Jr., or any other contribution. had anything to do with the contract between the Beauharnois and the Hydro--Electric Power Commission of this Province. '"Wasn't there evidence in Ottawa yesterday," interposed Opposition Leader William E. N. Sinclair, "that there was some sort of transaction before the contract was signed? The papers say--." "I didn't read it that way," replied the Prime Minister. "You had better read it again," clicked the Liberal Leader.
