premier frost came into the legislature spoiling for battle the session was hardly two weeks old but the iron first had already toronto was not satisfied and threw the proposal back into the preniiers lap last thursday mor ning a delegation from the board of control waited on the premier and m effect asked him to discard his proposal when tha asked in stead for unconditional grants the meeting declared controller ford brand was the most unsalu factory one ever held with the premier this ungrateful rejec tion of his election headltner what angered the premier and brought him back fighting into the legislature the same afternoon however the most convincing evidence of the inadequacy of the frost government s offer to meet the needs of the unemployed worn through the velvet glove as contained in figures which have the premier tried to beat down received virtually no publicity in the opposition criticism of the go- j private discussions with top dc vernment offer the reason for mr frost s con cern was not hard to seek his relief proposal designed and urn ed chiefly for election headlines was suddenly sprung on the mum cipaiities a week ago without any prior consultation the premier now claims that the offer was in response to suggestions for public works submitted to him by the city of toronto on january 29th but this obviously was the flims iest kind of excuse for consultat ion to make matters worse even partmental officials 1 have learned that it is officially estimated that in ontario there are between 15 000 and 25 000 persons- out of work and unable to draw unemployment in surance this is the group which the 5 million public works prog ram is ostensibly designed to help so far there is no evidence that municipalities will be able to pro vide employment

negotiations could now be made to dispose of debentures for renovation of the arena since a backlog of deben tures were now being taken up by a bond firm mr harrison said the ratepay ers had given there consent two years ago to have the arena re novated and that he thought this should be done as soon as pos sible and take priority over iny thing else finance chairman mcgilvray said he was not in favour of do ing anything at this time or at least not until the bond firm had definitely picked up the bonds optioned however he said as soon as this happened he would be pleased to ask the same firm if they would consider the arena debentures cr hyde had a new twist to the arena question he said he believed the arena could be sold and with the money realized from the sale and the contemplated 110 000 for renovations a new modern building could be con structed in a place where plenty of parking space could he had he said the arena should he- offered for sale at once and see what offer we could get cr harrison felt it would cost 400 000 to erect an arena and bring it up to the standard of the present building with renovations he said if the curling club pne- pective buyers according to cr hyde would pay even 50000 for the building 150 000 would be a high price for parking area but if the curling club will pay 2s0 000 he would like to discuss it v ith them the curling club would dicker on the present arena said cr hyde but fell cr harrisons fig ures were fantastic and must have been drawn from a hat he said he would like to see proper esti mates for he felt a new arena could be built for 100000 pins a 50 000 freezing planl eimcguvray said he felt the idea premature and unrealistic and would not consider any move until the town debenture debt was
