Premier Drury made the explanation in the Ontario Legislature yesterday after Hon. G. H. Ferguson had questioned the wisdom of the proposed step. During the last year, said Premier Drury, the activitiee of the Fuel Controller, H. A. Harrington, had not, in his opinion, justified the con-- tinuance of that office. -- Whereas the control of fuel supplies might have been perfectly justified and necessary in war time, he said, he did not look favorably upon the con-- tinuance through peace times of any kind of trade or business control. Wellington Hay, Liberal member for North Perth, strongly endorsed the action of the Government in dis-- pensing with fuel control. Business should be allowed to get back into pre--war channels as quickly as pos-- sible, he said, without Governmental hindrance. Furthermore, in his opinion, control of fuel supplies had resulted in increased cost of fuel to the consumers of the Province. Hon. G. H. Ferguson, in bringing the matter before the House, said he hoped that the Government had not finally made up its mind to the elimination of fuel control. The Province, he thought, was not by any means out of the woods so far as fuel supplies were concerned. OF FUEL CONTROL ment for tenders had appeared on the day following adjournment for Easter holidays. In reply Hon. Peter Smith declar-- ed he had never heard of any prece-- dent which called upon the Govern-- ment to announce its intentions about going into the money markets. It might be, he said, that none of the tenders received as a result of the advertisement would be accept-- ed. The money was required for Chippawa development purposes and for retirement of Treasury bills fall-- ing due April 15.
