On the resumption of the Legisla- ture after a ten days' :djournment yesterday, the member for Centre Huron placed his entire position be- fore the Legislature and before the people of the province. Exercising his“ rights as a member, Mr. Proud- foot presented an exhaustive review of the entire situation, and the letter from Thorne t) Maisonville that was unceremoniously rejected by the com- mittee last week. The principal interruptions came from Sir James Whitney, who de- scribed his accusers as “falsifiers,” “traducers” and spoke of Mr. Proud- foot as standing “there with a face of brass.” -.\...u- William Proudioot, who brought the charges was the first speaker in the afternoon. He reviewed the history of the afiair first in the public ac~ counts committee. declaring toot the ‘1'..." Vvu-D-vv" refusal of that bédfib’ allaw him to ankmnaimmtiom.wn the-.cau38 of the'iriquiry. He had consulted legal counsel and had been advised {hat the charges warranted an investme- tion before a royal commission. Mr. Proudfoot derided the certificate of character given by Mr. Mchaught. M.P.P.. to Mr. ’I‘Iexrxrne (the mbma- tor), and proceeded to read 'Mr. Thorne’s letter to H. C. Mansonvxlle. the document upon whi-.. be based hrs charges. . . . , arm: The statements of the Premier brought Mr. Rowell to his feet with a complaint to the Speaker for per- mitting the Premier to continue his invective. which was unbecoming to the dignity of the House. "Is that language allowable in this Legisla- ture?” he asked. “I submit that it is unparliamentary and should be withdrawn.” and then the desk-bang- ing started on the other side. . There was, however, no interrup- tion as the member for Centre Huron r-ad the Thorne letter; on the con- trrary an anxious and almost appre- 1m SiXC look came over the counten- anus of manv members on the Gov- ernmcnt side who ceased from read- in: or conversation and suspended vriting to catch every word of the document. Mr. Proudfoot spoke for over two hours. At times he was subjected to acrimonious interruption, but pre- served through all the trying ordeal an, even temper.

After some further discussion a re- solution was introduced by Ald. Smale and Naylor that a committee consisting of Ald. Adams and Irvine visit centres where asphaltic con- crete pavements were laid, Bufialo and Rochester being suggested. The Mayor called “against" and Ald. Clarke thinking he Said “again" voted with those opposed to the motion, Messrs. Kylie, Dobson and Naylor. The Mayor counted the up- lifted hands, and the vote being a tie, he declared the motion lost. As soon as Ald. Clarke had dis- covered his mistake, a request was made that another vote be taken. His Worship, however, had left the chair. Ald. Smale characterized .Mayor Beal’s action as “steam roller me- thods.” Considerable cross firing resulted for a time. but the second vote was not taken on the motion. It was pointed out by Ald. Smale and others that asphaltic concrete roadways had been laid in those centres and much information could be gathered regarding its ‘wearing qualities. tetc. His Worship Mayor Baal opposed the proposition. as it was a waste of money. He expected to be in Ot- tawa this week. and would make enquiries regarding the reputation of the Fol-2y Green firm and walso make enquiries regarding the aSphal- tic concrete roadways laid down there. The firm never laid any pave- ments in Bufialo and Rochester (the cities named to be visited) and no opportunity would be available for inspecting their work. 131d, Carefully inspect it, and gather all the information possible on this style of roadway. Ald. Irvine Was supported in his contention by ald. Smale, Adams, Naylor gnd Clarke. His Worship put the motion, which was supported by Ald. Smale, Adams, Clarke and Naylor.

Conduits to be used for street lighting inthis sec- fion; He also recommended the use of latest improved arc lamps in place of five-light standards. These are lamps while costing more than stan- dards, are double the latter's illum- inating capacity. The installation of these two different schemes for light- ing George street from McDonnel to the C, P. R, station, and Charlotte street from George to the Grand Trunk station would be as follows; For 130 five-light stan’dsrds $17,- 986. 1 For 100 arc lamps on cement poles 1325,810. By using ornamental iron lpoles“ the latter estimate would be increased to $28,110. ' He suggested that were the ap- proved ‘combination arc light and trollery iron poles installed and the street; rarlway company consent to ‘ using same for their feed wires many gunsightly poles now on the streets ' could be removed. Council as a whole did not take kindly to the overhead back lane scheme, which might involve the city in trouble with property owners.
