Turning to more serious mat. ters, Mr, Oliver stated that in his opinion the present Ontario Gove ernment 'has become progressives ly worse In the past 12 years, and particularly in the past five years. It has, he sald, become more interested in perpetuating its own life than in looking after the feovls of the province. "lt ime," he urged his audience, "that they were thrown out with a Justy clap on the back and a kick in some other part of the ana- tomy." HIGHWAY SCANDAL In the fast four years, he con tinued, the government has run Into "So many snags, quicksand and other impediments that they | \have lost the confidence of the ' One of these snags, he| sald, was the highway scandal. He maintained that there overruns of $28,000,000 in one divi salon in eight years, ' had heen! which could not be correctly ace | counted for." The government, he sald, was so sloppy that it took it | three years to find out about it "Any government," he wild, "which can #it on a raging Inferno and not know it is not good govern ment." "1 have asked Mr, Frost {much of that $28,000,000 1s clear (loss, how much will never be used for production purposes, We know that the government has pald for roads which were never built, pald for trucks which were never driven, We would never have known if someone had not squealed, That fellow should be knighted or some- thing for uncovering that scandal," It was at this point that Con- stable George Viney, of the Whitby Police Department, interrupted to ask for a member of the audience on a matter of urgency. Mr. Ol. ver hesitated a moment, looked at the officer, "have I done some: thing wrong? You 'never know | what you might have done. that you should not have done," Following the investigation into the highway matter, Mr, Oliver continued, the government had re. tained C, L. Dubin, v-"The Job he did for the Tory Govern: ment," sald Mr, Oliver, "wil never be forgotten, If titles had not been abolished he would have {been in line for one." Of the three firms charged, he continued, | charges were reduced to defraud {ing and the firms pleaded guilty. |The matter, he said, had been | handled before it got into the | courts, "That," he added, "doesn't | smell like good government,' | "1 think that is government for | the government." SPECIAL COMMITTE Speaking of the special investi: gating committee, of which he had been a member, Mr, Oliver stat. {ed that it had been made up of [eight Torles and three oppos tion members to do the job. 'And they how «| did It just as you would expect oy 'We asked to call 16 witness sald Mr, Oliver, but the committee | had refused, 'Never In this prov- {ince before has a government dared to do that, Always the op- position had the right to call wit nesses of their own until this Tory | Government, that Is afraid." | George Doucette former Minis. ter of Highways, sald Mr, Oliver had heen named Scrapegoat No, 1 by Mr. Frost, The premier, he sald, had stated that Mr, Doucette's health was bad, Mr, Doucette, on the other hand, continued Mr. Oliv er, had sald that he never felt | had to find another scapegoat and pointed out a defenseles mdividual who had been dead three or four months, Mr, Nelson, "The Torles," said Mr, Oliver, "wrote. the final chapter, We do not know to this day what was lost but some day | we'll tell you," HYDRO Introducing his opinion of the manner in which the government operated the HEPC, Mr, Oliver stated 'the Torles undertook to take the flicker out of the Mghts, it required a Troy to do it, Drew, I think his first name was George, sald that it would cost $191,000,000 for conversion, Now the price has been set at two and one-half times that amount," The Comstock Company Which received the contract, said Mr. Oliver, will be able to say to their grandchildren, 'that was the best contract we ever got' and they would be right, Mr, Oliver claim: ed that the Comstock contract call: ed for a price of $67 for converting a refrigerator to 60 cycle while the usual cost Is between $10 and $12 "What they did with refrigera. tors," sald Mr. Oliver, "they un. questionably did with other appli. ances," The people of Ontario, he sald, have paid millions more than they should have for conversion, If a Liberal Government is elected, he promised, "the honeymoon with Comstock will be over, The day of reckoning qill have arrived. We will not tolerate lavish spending. The purpose of Hydro was to pro. vide power at the lowest rates. They have forgotten all about Sir Adam Beck." MUNICIPAL GRANTS Turning to matters of grants from the province to the municipal ities, Mr, Oliver claimed that there was never a time when the prov- ince pald less to the municipalities in proportion to the municipal services provided, True it was, sald Mr. Oliver, that this govern ment, led by Mr. Frost, "who talks out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and does it more adroitly than any other man In public life," gave more In grants than the government of 1943. In that year, he sald, the provincial budget was $100,000,000 but now. it is $400,000,000 "and they could well afford to give back a little more." A Liberal administration, he prom. ised, would not think of cutting municipal grants, Concluding, Mr, Oliver promised that the 25-point program outlined by his party would be implimented without em: 28,000,000 | better, Mr, Frost, be continued, barrassing the treasury.
