The 15th Legis- lature of the Province of Ontario has passed into history and there was no regret, but rather a feeling of relief. The Province had little, if anything, to thank the Drnry Government tor.

Two of the many sins of the Drury Government was their abso- lute disreggard for responsible gov- ernment and their refusal to carry out the promises to the people at the elections of 1919. Seventeen royal commissions were appointed by this Government, at a cost of over 21. mil- lion dollars. to make certain investi- gation and blacken the characters of certain parties.

The chief plank ;in the U.F.O. -platform in 1919 was ;economy in the expenditure on roads. The Hamilton speeduway, as i-t .was referred to, had been built at a cost of about $25,000 a mile and the U.F.O. had said it cost 30 rper cent. too much. We `nd in the County of Wentworth, in Biggs con- stituency, that the roads cost $72,- 000 a. mile. Why should Wenbworth roads be better than .Si.n1ooe road-s ? asked Mr. Boys. It's all very nice to have good roads, `but the meople on the ba.cl<- concessions have to pay for this. $20,000,000 had been re- `ceived froin the Doininion Govern- `ment. This was all gone. Recent- ly they went to -Ottawa. and asked for more money -but it was atly re- fused. They tried to put through a bill relieving the counties from pay- ing the 20 per cent. on the Provin- cial Highways. At thetime Went- worth County's share was about $35,000. Ilf the bill had gone tlwough that county would have been relieved of a. heavy taxation burden. "l`nu,n1-.:v..~ rsvs L1... 6.........._....._._ __.4.- lJuIL_y'. A petition was received from W. A.

Mr. Drury was asked . by the Dominion Alliance to change ` the act respecting the sale of native wine, but he refused, stating that there was not enough public feeling is trying to make temrperance an is- sue to divert attention lfrom the extravagance of his adiinini-.stration. This extravagance was found in every department. At a convention `in this hall recently Mr. Drury and Mr. Murdock `stated that the in- crease in the provincial debt was due !!1E\.iilly to the Hydro and T & N.O. Railway, which the Government had to saddlelfrom the previous Govern- ment. The debt has increased from $97,000,000 to $243,000,000. Leav- ing out the Hydro and the T. & N.0.
