March 20 Semmnemmmmemmee mm Possibility Seen of Partisan Element Corrupting Compilation Attorney--General -- Price's Voters' e Lists and Election Acts amendments came in for some criticism from Op-- position benches yesterday afternoon, when Progressive Leader Nixon hint-- ed a susp'cion that unemployment camp occupants might qualify as electors, and W. E. N. Sinclair, K.C., held that, unless "heavenly angels" ar> employed as enumerators, a par-- tisan element would corrupt ccm-- pilation of voters' lists, Introduction of bills widening mu-- nicipal board powers and extending the mortgage moratorium also was among the Attorney--General's activi-- ties at yesterday's busy session. Appeal Privilege Remains. Colonel Price »xplained the new method of compiling lists by enumer-- ators in the larger municipalities, He stressed that no appeal privilege was removed from the act. Mr. Nixon * commented that the thirty--day resi-- dence, required under the Election Act amendmen, seemed too short. In this conmnmection, he had filed notice of motion for a sixty--day period. He intended to propose an amendment to the Attorney--General's bill, and fore-- cast further discussion at the com-- mittee stage. The Progressive Leader instanced the case of unemployment camps, where men would seem to qualify un-- + der the present residence ruling. Six or seven hundred men were quartered at Long Branch; would they vote in Peel? Non--Liberal Enumerators. Mr. Sinclair commented that Mr. Nixon secimed a{lra.id of tt'gw Toronto voters. "I thought Toronto was going to elect all Liberals," added Mr. Sin-- clair. He proposed that assessors' lists be «he basis for compilation of voters' lists. The -- enumerator--"naturally, he won't be a Liberal"--might not be inclined to take too much trouble list-- » ing names of those not his friends. "'Unless you get heavenly angels for enumerators, you're g%to have troub]e."mwamed l\g Sin . Second reading then was given,. The amendmen'ts to the Ontario Municipal Board Act would empower the board to authorize a debenture issue without the usual requirement of the municipal electors' assent. The change would apply to special cases, ; and the power would operate only after a public hearing on the merits of the matter. Another clause pro-- vides for a single Inspector, instead of a Board of Supervisors, for defaulting municipalities which have reached :?mm with at least 80 per cent. c prln@::aml.. F90 e o i of ncnxtemion of the moratorium to * June 30, 1935, is provided under the amendments to the Mortgagors' and Purchasers' Relief Act. The act, pre-- venting summary foreclosure, may be revoked at any time by Order--in-- | Council. %
