Objectors w‘gmld Wait. i The first hint of opposition c-mal from Reeve Little who thought that the present is an inopportune time ‘to build owing to the high cost of maâ€" terials and labor. He felt \that if the conditions at present prevailing at the llnsnmlion could be borne for a few more years, the County could save A considerable sum of money by build: ing when conditions are more normal. Reeve Janzen concurred in this opinion but was a little more caustic in his remarks declaring that he was living in an old house himself and he thought that the inmates of the House of â€" Refuge were no worse off than many citizens in their private homes.. Receives Sharp Retort. + ‘This attitude of Reeve Janzen callâ€" ed forth a sharp retort from Reeve Bohlender who demanded to know if Reeve Janzen would relish sleeping six in a room that was only 12 by 18 feet. He also demanded to know | if the Reeve would like to have _l_1Ala fathâ€" er or his mother living in similiar conâ€" ditions. Reeve Janzen had no ansâ€" wer to make to Reeve Bohlender and the situation was saved as far as Mr. Janzen was concerned by a motion to visit the House of Refuge before coming to any definite decision. Reeve Debus of New Hamburg exâ€" pressed the opinion that it would be better to wait a few years and build an entirely new institution on a new site Warden Panabaker after listening to the contrary opinions declared that the place was vl_r!ually a fire trap and ie e e e ent, % he stated that he would not like to shoulder the responsibility as chairâ€" man of the Board of Management in the event of a fire at the institution. Estimates Quoted. In introducing the question Warden Panabaker pointed out that the plans as submitted by the architect were practically approved by the Departâ€" ment of Hospitals and Charities. He stated that Charles Knechte! was the architect and declared that the entire expense of the project would not exâ€" ceed one half mill on the dollar for & period of five years. He declared that the department of charities through their inspector had found the instituâ€" tion overcrowded at the present time and objected to the conditions preâ€" vailing there. There is not room for 1100 inmates while the present numâ€" ber of inmates total 106. ‘Touching on the plans and estimates | . _ "'; of the architect,.

They have no deâ€" sire to disrupt the equilibrium of trade or commerce, but feel that they have a natural right to consideration in connection with the obtaining of the implements used in the gaining of their livelihood. The great point which Premier Martin insisted upon lln connection with the western farmer is that he is not a free trader. â€" Speaking of the convention at Ot tawa, from which he had just come.
