Asked if Mr. Finlayson and Col. Price would sit in at this Council, the Premier replied : "Why not?" That everything was "an open book" as far as his department was concerned, was the stand taken earlâ€" ler in the day by the Attorneyâ€"Genâ€" eral. ‘"This department," said he, "was trying to be generous to a magisâ€" trate who, if he were retired without any allowance, might have suffered on account of his financial and home situation, instead of retiring him without further consideration, "Having tried in every way to make it easy for Mr. McCaughrin to retire without actually asking for his resignation (which 1 could have done at any time), having attempted to get a retiring allowance for him vhere none was provided, it is beâ€" yond belief that he should have sworn a declaration and made public a document which is so full of inâ€" accuracies and beside the point." \ Advised Retirement In a formal statement to the press, reviewing his position in the discusâ€" sions from start to finish. Col. Price charged that from time to time his department had advised that Mcâ€" Caughrin be retired; that he was unsuitable as a magistrate; that he _had constant controversies with peoâ€" ple who came into his court. Legislature To Probe ‘"‘But", he added "on account of McCaughrin being a veteran of the Great War, and having a wife who is an invalid, I am afraid my sympaâ€" thies prevented me from retiring him as a magistrate and I allowed it to run along, feeling that prob ably he would improve." Hon. Mr. Finlayson had nothing to add to the statement 6f his which appeared aimultaneously with the Qlobe‘s production of McCaughrin‘s "offlce trafficking" affidavit and charges. In that statement the Minâ€" ister of Lands and Forests denied any relationship (as charged by McCaughrin) with Magistrate Gover. In view Of the fact, Mr. Finlayson further stated, that no superannua tion was provided magistratea it had long been the custom to arrange some gratuity for thoso rétiring.

(Continued from Page 1) Purchase !s Criticized Reove Bingeman: "What I cannot understand is that things were goâ€" ing along as they did and the werâ€" den was saying nothing. Now there is another matter . You bought a herd of thoroughbred Jersey cattle. Now I for one am for the inmates. I believe they ebhould have plenty of good milk and butter. But when you bought a Jersey herd, to handle which is a epecialty, you are exploitâ€" ing the ratepayers of Waterloo counâ€" ty.

You must have concrete evidence beâ€" !fore you can convict a man. At first |we had ouly anonymous letters." . _ Reeve Bingeman: "You consider it maintenance or capital expendlâ€" ture?" â€" Reeve Bingoman said that the board was really paying the new manager and matron $3200 a year when the rent, light, water, eata,blea\ for the family woere considered. Cassel Replics Mr. Cassel replied to the New Hamburg reeve on the purchase of the Jersey herd of cattle. He be “levad the move was a good‘one. He said that the purchase was made by himeelf, a close friend of long standâ€" ing and the manager. The herd of 17 cattle, 70 hoge and 175 chickens, after making allowances for the re turns from former stock, cost the board $1400. ' Reeve Bingeman asked whother there ever was an inspection of the former herd. Mr. Cassel said that Dr. Henboeffer, veterinary, was at the institution every year, but the they were not an accredited herd. old cows were not inspected because The New Hamburg reeve thought that even if they were not an acâ€" ‘credited herd, there should have been an inspection for health reaâ€" sons as the milk and buttor were condumed at the institution. Deputy Reeve Mosack of Preston and W. McKersie aleo spoke, expressâ€" ing the opinion that the purchase was a fairly goog one. Reeve Groh, Waterloo township, said the board had acted wisely by buying the Jersey hord, as there was nothln"too good for the people at the Old Poople‘s Home. _ Reeve Snider of Woolwich townâ€" ship said that owing to low prices the present wae a favorable time to Deputy Reeve Kinsie, Waterloo township, spoke favorably of come of the apecimens of stock, formerly kept on a Breslaw farm, and Deputy Reeve Howlett of Woolwich townâ€" ship also eaid he was eatisfied with the purchase. Reeve Bingoman again dechared his view that the purchase of the \mmoa herd was a mistake.
