Another heavy week, both as to iegiszation in the House and business in committees, ended with all the --stimates cleared away, and supply voted to the extent of $69,901,359. The inn-imier‘s hill respecting medicai and dental inspection in schools was among the government measures re~ ported by committee of the whole, without amendment. on Thursday evening. Mr. Ferguson took occa- smn to point out very clearly that nothing is being done to interfere with the present law providing that no medical 01‘ surgical “treatment”: as distinct from “inspection”"can be given without consent of the child's parent or guardian.

We have many {rater-i nal organizations who are alwaysj looking for work of this kind- -the Kiwanis and Rotary clubs, ana many of them have suggested they be allowed to do something of this kind. It is a sort of general service proposition. so that it a man who comes over wants to buy a farm he may go to the chairman of this com- mittee. and it wib‘l be a patriotic duty of the committee to see he pays only a fair price.

Investigation by the.Public Ac- counts Committee of the Legislature of the affairs of the Provincial. Trea- surer’s department has resulted in such startling evidence that the de- mand nmv comes from the few re- maining representatives of the late Government that a Royal) Commis- sion should be appointed to probe deeply and impartially into all mat- ters pertaining to the Department. Premier Ferguson turns a deaf ear to this request on the grounds that it would be taking away from the committee the one function for which it exists. The first thrill this week came from the production of a stub from a Home Bank cheque book purport..- ing to show that a cheque was drawn for $15,000 in favor of Hon. Peter Smith, Provincial Treasurer. a rebate re $4..000000 Province or Ontario bonds. The cheque itself has. according to G. '1‘.

Am man who accepts public office is inviting trouble. He invites the enmih of people when he does any- thing and when he does not. This sad lament is brought out by the fact that at a committee meeting last \V eek the Assessment Committee voted to recommend the appointment of Mr. Oliver Abbott as assessor, making the motion unanimous: ; on Tuesday morning, bright. and early one of the disappointed and disillusioned applicants for the ofâ€" fice, Mr. Alex.
