ALLOW CITIES T0 ISSUF DEBENTURES WITHOUT A VOTE Special Legislation For Re- lief Measures to be Pass- ed in Ontario (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, - Nov. 8.--In order to facilitate the raising of unemploy- ment funds by municipalities, Hon. George S. Henry, acting premier of Ontario, announces that an amend- ment to existing legislation would be submitted at the next session of the legislature giving the Ontario Railway and Municipal Board the power to autnorize the {ssuing of debentures for unemployment re- lief without first consulting the ratepayers, ""The municipalities have not the power to raise funds for these ac- tivities without a vote of the peo- ple," said Mr, Henry. "As this is not feasible or practicable in the pres- ent situation the amendment to al- low money to be raised without a vote of the ratepayers will be sub- mitted to the legislature at the earl- fest possible moment. I presume this statement will allow the muni- cipalities to secure the necessary accomodations from the banks and to take care of the situation for the time being." With only a few exceptions most of the money allocated for unem- plovment relief will not be spent until about the time the legislature opens. Little Effect on Oshawa Commenting upon the Canadian Press despatch, Mayor Mitchell pointed out today that the enabling legislation meant little to Oshawa as practically the whole relief pro- gram here is made up of local im- provement works which may be paid for by debentures under ex- isting legislation.

W. M. Lea, premier and minister of agricul- ture in a pre-Thanksgiving state- ment.

Philip Snowd :n, chancellor of the exchec (er, as declining to agree to development of a loan for finan- cing unemployment - relief and na- tional construction. This is a main feature of the recent Liberal mem- orandum on unemployment, submit- ted to the government and the House | of Commons.

V, Alexander, first lord of the admiralty, would go with him, according to the report.

H, Thomas, secretary of state for the dominions, is optimistic about the re- sults of the present Imperial Confer- cence, " "I am satishéd," said Mr. Thomas speaking at a luncheon at Waymouth today, "that when the results--whic h are not many days distant -- are known those who are frankly anxious over the prosperity and development of the British Commonwealth of na- tions will not have reason to regret the results of the 1930 conference." Mr. Thomas added the conference had demonstrated the danger of at- tempting to write a constitution. Efforts are now being made to terminate the conference at the end of the coming week. The majority of the Canadian delegation propose to sail for Canada on the steamship Duchess of Bedford sailing next Iri- day but Premier R. B, Bennett will remain longer, The conference has still much to While the heads of delegations have practically disposed of the con- stitutional agenda, they have yet to give final consideration to the matter of privy council appeals, and to the question of the nationality of domin- ions residents. 600 NEW SETTLERS IN COCHRANE AREA (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) North Bay, Nov. 8 -- During the past 12 months some six hundred set- tlers have taken up land in the dis- trict which is under the crown lands agent of Cochrane.

As to parades by the unemployed, Chief Coulter is- sued an emphatic order today. "They can meet all they like, but as soon as they start to parade they will be stopped by the police," he said. "We gave them one chance' to parade and immediately they broke faith and started to march within the city's congested areas, As far as this theft is concerned it is the first one of such a nature that has ever been reported to us and in view of the present Red sit- uation here," we want to be pre- pared."

Turning attention from the elec- tion, the government heads have de- termined to make every effort to secure passage of the nine great an< - nual appropriation bills by next March 4, to avoid a special session of the newly elected congress. Should any of these 'supply bills fail of passage President Hoover would be forced to convene the new congress, the control of which re- mains in doubt or the government agencies not provided for would have to suspend business at the close of the fiscal year, June 30, 1931. The short session is for three months, but the legislative days probably will not exceed seventy, in view of the usual two weeks of Christmas holidays and the Sun- days. Night sessions of both houses are almost inevitable to complete the business. igh - ner Rl
