It appeared that the town gave grants to these two clubs for relief work, but getting part of the grants reâ€" turned. In the case of the K. of C. the town issued a cheque for $610.00 but reâ€" ceived back $210.00 from the society. In the Rotary Club case donaitions totalling $1,250.010 were made, the Roâ€" tary returning $500.00. In ‘both the cases only the full grants made were reported to the Government and the Government paid its proportion. The exâ€"mayor contended that the aim of the 1931 council was to get the Governâ€" ‘ment to pay the full cost of shelter, but that there was n# scheme to beat the Government.

Tsidore marleau, who complained to the Commission the week previous about the quality of clothing given the "poor people" and produced some ‘Cothing he had received from the relief as an example, admitted to ‘the Commission Thursday afternoon that though he received $7.10 relief work as well as clothing he is worth $5,000 "or a little over." "It was poor stuff, and I‘m not sorry they passed it off on you, though I am sorry they passed it off on others who are deserving," counsel declared. "You are getting relief though you are worth $5,000," Mr. Williams said. ‘"You are the man who came up here with psor clothes and thought you would head us off by squealing . on somebody else?" "No," Marleau denied. ‘"What you came up here for was to show us you weare a poor man and these fellows were passing off poor stuff on you," Mr. Williams charged. Witâ€" ness shook his head. He was called for questioning when private information was given some members <of the Commission that he was not as poor as he seemed. All his mcney is out on mortgages at 54 per cent., he said.

Most of the prices were tco high, in the spinion of the Commissioner. Amongst the articles particularly upon were five pair of children‘s shoos, $15.45, two pair flannelette blankets, $5.50; seven sweaters worth, Leblanc believed, 75 cents each and charged at $12.33, and ten yards of factory cotton at 25 cents a yard. }The London Lif e Insu y :Q n > n A t d ance Com ‘~MR.
