Powers and Stone Inc., New York and Chicago SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1930 A DISAPPOINTMENT -- AND A HOPE There will be much disappointment in Oshawa because of the fact that no allows ance has been made in the federal estimates for improvement work, other than dredging, at the Oshawa Harbor. The estimate of $50,000, as announced, looked encouraging, until it. was found that this included $34,000. of the amount voted last year, and not used, and that the only new amount included was $16,000 provided to complete the "work of dredging, for which the contract was let last fall, and on which a certain amount of work has already been done. This means, that, although the harbor and the channel will be dredged, there will be no allowance for the harbor works which are necessary to complete this development. As Mayor Mitchell pointed out in an inter- view yesterday, there are certain manufac- turing concerns which are anxious to locate in Oshawa, but cannot come unless the har- bor development is completed this year. That, of course, implies the completion of the docking and wharfage facilities which are essential to the proper use of a harbor, and there is no indication in the estimates that anything is to be done towards these. The fact that the main estimates do not include provision for this phase of the har- bor development, however, does not mean that nothing will be done. It will be re- called that last year there was no provision at all for Oshawa harbor in the main esti- mates, and that it was only after Mayor Mitchell had visited Ottawa and placed Osh- awa's case before the minister: of public works that the vote of $50,000 was placed in the main estimates. There is just a possibility, of course, that & similar line of action may be followed this year. It is certain, however, that it will not 'be done unless there is strong pressure from this end. It is essential, therefore, that the City Council and Chamber of Commerce get together in this matter, and take immediate steps to press the needs of Oshawa's harbor upon the government, so that the comple- tion of the harbor development may not be delayed unduly. \ EVERY MEMBER'S DUTY The annual general meeting of the Osh- awa Chamber of Commerce is being held on Tuesday evening of next week. Public an- nouncement has heen made of the arrange- ments for this highly important event, and this should be a clarion call for all citizens of the community who are interested in the work which the organization is doing for the city to rally round its officers and show that they have the support of a substantial body of citizens. The business of the Chaniber of Commerce the business of every citizen of Oshawa. can only function successfully in so far as it has the support of every member, not only in the payment of membership fees, 'but in attendance at this important meeting, at which the officers for the next year will 'be elected.

Only a majority: of éight 'separated Ramsay Mac- Donald's ministry from being turned out of ce. It was, of course, a narrow squeak. It may be that the other parties meant it to be just that. Certain it is that they had no intention of defeating the government and thus forcing a general election. For even in Great Britain political expediency must have a place in the machinations of parliamentary life. ~ The last thing the British opposition par ties desire at the present time is a general election. They know full well that a defeat for the government would be very unpopu- lar with the people throughout the country, and would not help their cause in an appeal to the electorate. The MacDonald govern- ment is about at the peak of its popularity, and with the Conservatives facing a split on Lord Beaverbrook's Empire Free Trade pol- icy, there is a decided tendency on the part of that party to leave well enough alone. Under all these circumstances, the Labor government appears to be quite safe from defeat for the time being, and it will re- "main so until the opposition parties think the time is ripe for another election. ~ A SYMPATHETIC HOUSE The discussions which have taken place in parliament so far indicate that the members of that body, irrespective of political affilia- tion, are sympathetic to the claims which have been put forward on behalf of the war veterans of Canada. This is as it should be, for it would be disastrous to the cause of the disabled ex-service men and their de- pendents were this matter to be made a po- litical issue, and to become the centre of a party squabble. \ There is every indication that something definite in the form of remedial legislation regarding pensions and other veterans' pro- blems is to be done at this session of par- liament. The people of Canada expect it, and many men and women who have been suffering because of war's ravages have been waiting for something to be done for them. The Canadian Legion program of legislation probably: be the basis for much that is e, and, since it is a reasonable program, without anything bordering on radicalism, the people of Canada can rest assured that if it is adopted matters will be adjusted on a satisfactory basis, both for the war vet- ns and for the country as a whole. TOO MUCH WASTE The people of Ontario are a wasteful peo- ple. Last year, they spent, in the govern- ment liquor stores and brewery warehouses, a sum of over $57,000,000--a tremendous amount to be spent in this manner. One can- not help but feel doubtful as to whether the people of Ontario can, in these days, really afford, to hand over more than one million dollars a week for the purpose of securing supplies of intoxicating liquors and bever- ages While during the election campaign last October Premier Ferguson tried to claim that the Liquor Control Act was controlling the sale of liquor, this is not true as to the amount sold. There is little sign of control in the figures announced for 1929, If the Liquor Control Act is to mean anything as a measure--and that is what it is to be--the government must, un- derstand that its functions include the tak- ing of measures to cut down liquor sales to a minimum, instead of having an increase recorded with every succeeding year. EDITORIAL NOTES ¥ Sir Esme Howard says that war talk is absurd. But so is war. It is by no means too early to be over- hauling that set of gardening tools. The latest excuse is that work was in- vented by people who were too nervous to sit still. 4 The price of wheat has been dropping fairly steadily, but it does not seem to have had any effect on the price of bread.

One of these puzzles faces the publish. er of a Manitoba paper, who is be- ing\sued for damages, because his paper printed a ture of a wo- man- showing her in ap old-fash- ioned costume of the niheties.

' Much de- pends, of course, on the object in publishing the picture. If the in- tent was to hold the woman to rid- icule, and this can be proven, then there would appear to be some basis for her complaint.

FOLLY AT CROSSINGS (Kingston Whig-Standard) Would you believe it that an auto driver stopped on a ratlway crossing for seven minutes and re- fused to come off when the flag- man asked him to do so, saying he would stay on as leng as he liked. Yet that is what the report of the board of railway commissioners for Canada states one man did, but it does not state if he were drunk, or only a fool. But there were other fools, bringing about 163 acéidents dnr- ing the three months of last fall at protected crossings---note vnro- tected ones. These drivers {enor- ed the warning bell, dellheratelv passed stop sienal, disrerardad watehman's si#ngl. and failed to walt nnti] the rates were properly ralend.

Sixty stitches were required to close the wounds. Today in the police court, the magistrate commented: "Some thing will have to be done to dis courage this sort of thing. Seven years in the penitentiary." John, cabin mate : Martin ir the northern bush, pleaded guilty to the charge of wounding with intent to maim.

In the re maining stone building, one of which stood on cither side of the Old As- sembly chambers, the old time locks with keys a foot in length, the system of bellpulls connecting the various of- fices, the recessed fireplaces, and narrow stairways are all as they were when thé province was still in its infancy, and they still give service im Supreme Court offices. The building on the west was long ago torn down to make room for the pre- sent Department building. Both were of the plain Georgian type, built low for warmth in winter. Sketches of the old Parliament building in its early years show lit- tle pretence to architectural excell ence. A low wooden structure with two wings furnished sufficient room. The cornerstone was lain in May, 1800, by Governor the Hon. Thomas Carleton, For twelve years both chambers had held sessions in a wooden structure known as King's Provision Store at the intersection of Chancery Lane and Queen's street. For seven years previous, after the formation of New Brunswick as a province with the coming of the Loy- alists in 1783, the legislature had met at Saint John. The building which fell before the flames was devoted chiefly to the leg- islative branch of administration, De- partmental and executive offices were housed in the stone buildings to cast and west, The structure housed both chambers, until the Legislative council was abolished by legidlative enactment about ten ycars after. its construction, The blaze which destroyed the building broke out in the library. Steam fire engines with the Saint John River providing a nearby wa- ter supply put up a strenuous fight, but winter conditions proved too great a handicap. Two years were required for the erection of the succeeding structure of freestone on grey granite base which for forty-eight years had hou sed the New Brunswick Legislature and 'its 'officials. The first session .in ithe present building was opened on February 16th, 1882. During the carly history of Fred- ericton lots of the land reserved for legislative buildings were leased from time to time for other purposes. One of the earliest post offices was lo- cated in Saint John street on a site now covered by the Departmental Building and near it stood the little building in which clicked the first telegraph instrument ever operaf€d in this city.
