It de clared that in new of the budget deficit of SI. 151.000 and no pro- Vjsion being made to finance it and the increase in public debt. the lfj-lature should order the i estimates revised downward, Government supporters voted solidly against the amendment i Resuming the address which he started Friday afternoon. Mr. i Duggan declared more than re- funding of the public debt at a lower interest rate was necessary.

i In addition to a measure of cancellation of debts to the i federal government there should be a generous but not reckless desree of inflation. Under the present social, economic and financial order, all government public service was dependent upon and restricted by the supply of money tokens granted in the estimates, said Mr. Manning. Likewise each in- dividual was dependent upon and i restricted by the supply of money tokens at his command. "Of what practical value are property and civil rights to any people if.

through lack of sufficient man-made money tokens, they are prevented from taking advantage of them?" asked Mr. Manning in a reference to property and civil rights being Landlord Limited THESE "FLEXES" BV AMERICAN DAN SEISE FASCINATED THE FUEHRER After witnessing her performance in "The Merry Widow" threr times in Munich.

H. Putman in reply to criticism as to the condition of sidewalks and streets. Keierring to con. ruimans humorous article in The Citizen. "My Career as a Musician," Aid.

Erit Query expressed the hope that the controller would use some of his musical influence to have the sidewalks and crossings put in better shape. The condition of the walks, said Aid. Query, was annoying particularly to those going to church in the evenings. Aid. J.

A. Parisien and Aid. John Powers also voiced complaints. I'nusual Break-up. Con.

Putman, in charge of the works department, said a little common sense would have to be exercised as it was a most unusual break-up. The commissioner of works had all the plows out and was doing his best to meet the situation. On the whole the: streets this winter were better cleaned than in previous years. Slush was to be expected. "Certainly we are spending a tremendous amount of money to keep the streets in order," added Con.

Putman. "Unless we remove the snow from side streets as is done from main streets little else can be done. And that would be very expensive." Aid. G. W.

Pingle agreed with Con. Putman. "We can't expect the impossible." he said. Aid. Martin M.

Walsh said in Wellington ward the worst places were attended to without any solicitation on his part. "And the gutters are frozen up tonight," remarked Aid. F. M. Journeaux.

On Ridrau Channel. Hope was expressed by Aid. George S. Sloan that the commissioner of works would make an early start on blasting the ice in the Rideau river to prevent excessive flooding. "Work was started on marking out the channel this morning," interjected Con.

Putman. The Mayor said the Board of Control and the commissioner of works were keeping close touch on the river situation. Blasting will be started as soon as there is sufficient water to carry off the ice. This year the city proposps to continue the blasting from the Rideau Falls to Billings Bridge.

Ash said, he would ive the preference to local firms. le, however, pointed out that pttawa contractors and Ottawa manufacturers did business out- lde the city. If other munici- alities took the same stand as Kid. Sloan proposed it would work the disadvantage of. many Ottawa people.

"When you hand stuff out to estem Ontario cities you are not elieving the unemployment situa- lon here," was Aid. Sloan's part ing shot. Council adopted the board's ecommendation without division.

"The speech by Mr. inard was one of the finest made Ottawa for sometime." said lld. Sloan.

On Sewer Work. On a question of privilege. Aid. Daniel McCann referred to a etter from A. C.

Ross, president Ross-Meagher. Limited, as published in The Citizen. In this etter, Mr. Ross said when the Elgin street sewer work was started one alderman from the est end cf the city arrived on he Job with the names of eighteen men he wanted employed. Ull the aldermen from the west nd.

Ash said he saw hiee prescriptions each with the riame of the same doctor but each kas in different writing, includ- ng the signatures.

The Mayor aid if Aid Ash gave the name he kould make an investigation. Aid. Ash promised to do so. Oiling and Watering On the advice of the commis sioner of works the Board of Con-fro! recommended that eight rents per foot frontage be charged or street oiling and three cents or street watering, the same rates ps last year. A bylaw with the ist of streets will be submitted later.

Aid. Nelson J. Lacasse said all iMacAdam streets should be oiled tend he protested against the Hction of someone last year in aving certain streets taken out of he list. Aid. J.

P. Nolan said beople on certain streets made (representations to him and he had It he engineering department make Ian inspection. As a result he said reveral streets were struck off the List as they did not require oiling and it was no use putting the property owners to extra expense, loiling once in three years, he said was often enough after a street was in good shape. wto bran irhrf fcm emi-mltr earned tkm Wmiidwa.

Mayor Lewis volunteered the information that W. E. MacDon-ald, waterworks engineer, has completed the installation of the larger water main across Elgin street at Slater for which the estimated cost was $4,800. In connection with both the waterworks and the sewer construction work for the Elgin street widening, the Mayor said when the work is completed there will be a detailed audited statement showing the exact cost. "The best thing I have heard in a long time," commented Aid.

Daniel McCann. "This will prove things not proven before." Aid. Ash had a number of questions as to what the city was doing concerning buses for Elgin street, the lighting and underground work. In repiy the Mayor said the substitution of buses for street cars on Elgin street was under discussion between the government and the Ottawa Electric Railway Company. So as the company made a request for the operation of buses, the request would be considered by the city.

All public utility companies were notified of the proposed widening of Elgin street so that they could arrange for any underground work. Plans by the commissioner of works provided for underground conduits for electric wiring but the form of lighting would have to be considered atpr No estimate had been ob tained as to the cost of lighting ftP rnnHnitc Citizen Classified ads are mes sengers of thrift. the youngster begins to feel warm and comfortable as VapoRub goes to work direct through the skin like a poultice.
