Under the Federal Old Age Pensions Act. it was pointed out, the Dominion Government had assumed one-half of the cost of Old Age Pensions, expecting the provinces to pay the other half but the Fer- guson Government, he noted, had passed on to the municipalities the responsibility for forty per cent. of the ahare of the province. Mr. Tweed also contended that only a por- tion of the revenues received presumably for the use of the Department of Highways was expended on roads, the balance being utilised to meet outlays in other lines. This, he held, was an objectionable practice. Revenues col- lected for roads, he declared, should be used ex- clusively for that purpose. - . _s_, imam.-. I new! WATEIIDO'S WA.

The Border City Star makes the following com- ment with reference to North Waterloo’s repre- sentative: "The Waterloo Member's speech is a valu- able contribution to the discussion of public business and demonstrates the wisdom of send- ing to the Legislature men who have had ex- perience in big business and who are therefore -.

The water department had a net credit balance of $1,086.98 after providing $2,000 for depreciation as well as paying $7,795.96 on de- bentures; the gas department had a credit bal- ance of $1,692.52 after providing for $2,963.72 on debentures, and the electric department a credit balance of $2,690.11 after paying off $4,017.59 on debentures and providing $7,014 depreciation. The Public Utilities Commission has fol- lowed progressive policies, making adequate) provision to give the most efficient service, the reports presented from time to time reflecting sound and economical management on the part of the meinberiof that body and those associ- ated with them in the management of these undertakings. _ An chief mum We have become familiar with the terms, "sanitary aviation" and "medical aviation," sig- nifying the use of aeroplanes for the evacuation of the sick in times of war and the transport of the sick in times of peace. Now, however, the air is being exploited in Central Europe in the actual treatment or cure of the sick.

Under normal conditions there would be a disposition to lark for some downward reduction of tariffs on im- plements of production and perhaps on food and t clothing, but conditions are not normal. Mr.‘ Robb had, indeed, urged the Tariff Board to carry out several inquiries for him, out of which it was expected some upward readjustments might come. Whether or not his move in this direction will be translated into action by his successor is problematical. ' Thieiéales Tax is expected to disappear and slighly higher exemptions under the income tax a;-;(;mc;st, while -other of the so-called 'nuis.. ance taxes may be ameliorated. In rural Quebec seventeen counties covered by 13 units have embraced the county health unit scheme since its inception four years ago. Hon. A. R. McMaster, K.C., Provincial Treasur- er stated in a recent address at Montreal. He hoped and believed that this scheme would greatly improve the health of the province. bun-"4 ----r-~ 7 Stating the need of carrying the health 2 message to the rural parts of the province, Mr. , McMaster said that the purpose of the county i, health unit was to practise preventive medicine 1 and to endeavor to teach the people habits) which made for good health and to distribute l pnedieal information among them. A properly ' qualified doctor who had taken a course in 1. public health was at the head and there were nurses. a sanitary engineer and secretary, all I three agencies, the church, the school and the‘ home, co-operated in the matter. " ( When the unit arrived the schools were; visited and the children examined and told to remind their mother that on a certain day‘ the doctor would be at the school-house witht the object of meeting them and asking them to bring any of their children who happened to be l unwell. The children were examined and their,! , defects duly noted and the parents were for-‘ ' warded a card containing information regard-) , ing the nature of the trouble. In this way, the speaker pointed out, many defects were discov- . ered and rectified which otherwise might have , remained unnoticed and spoiled the whole life , of the child. Another function of the unit, was r the distribution of serums against disease. L The inauguration of a similar system in - various districts in the province would undoubt- ' edly be attended with beneficial results. The proposal to engage a capable instructor to teach crippled children who are unable to attend school on account of their disabilities, shows a commendable desire to make available to these unfortunate children the same educa- tional advantages as those enjoyed by those not so handicapped. It is noted that in other municipalities the proposal has worked out satisfactorily, their work comparing favorably with that of normal - _ .._ - _c, ___‘ wunn %r%""e"" ...a -_._e_""' .. children. The proposal is worthy of early and favorable consideration. x The number of cattle 6n the farms in Canada increased by more than 137,000 in 1929, although that of mileh cow: was slightly less than in the previous year. according to Do- minion atatlatla.

Tweed moved that "This House condemns the failure ot the government to relieve the muni- tcipal taxpayers from their 40 percent {contribution to the government's |share or old age pensions, notwith- -;tanding the increasing revenues ot the province.” This point constituted one of the n-hlel’ features ot the North Waterloo member'a speech. Adler taxing everything in sight for its own revenue. Mr. Tweed told the Legislature. the government and placed on the shoulders of the muni- ieipalities a large share of the bur- den of the cost of old age pensions. Under the. federal Old Age iGaail Act passed in 1927 the Dominion government had assumed one-half of the cost of old age pensions. ex- pecting the provinces to pay the other half. Instead, Mr. Tweed asser- ted. the Ferguson administration had passed on to the municipalities the responsibility for 40 percent ot the province's share.

That there has been a great deal ot I: m,csstistaction with respect to this d matter cannot be doubted. it was r very openly expressed when the t attitude of the government was made 1 ‘known some time ago. Many of the c municipalities took the stand that t 'the provincial authorities had ' "passed the lynch," it was coursed. t lalso. and apparently with some reo- I son. that the government had not i demonstrated much real enthusiasm 1 tor the principle involved and had only taken advantage of the iederci provision tor the paying of old age penaions when it was no longer pos- sihie. from a political standpoint. to evade the responsibility any longer. Still another point discussed by Mr, Tweed was the live cents per gallon gasoline tax. During the last fiscal year. the Liberal critic de- clared. the revenue of the provincial highwaya departments including the gasoline tax totalled 311016.126. while the expenditure on account. ot roads was only 34.855.853. What, ital , asked. had become of the ditNremee -ti'.?.,t6o,rN? The difference. hel said, was not used to make new roads. because the money tor that purpose was raised try debenture it ' sues. According to the govemment'o handling ot the matter. it was evlm . dent that collections in the hishwnyl , department ottered a very hoop! source of revenue to cover expendi- , turn in other lines.
