Defends Lands Policy of

_Vietoria, Nov. 26, ~ Drastic
_ changes ‘inthe provincial police

system have been: effected by.
Attorney -'General® Matigon, In

future Inspector Miller, of the

Liquor. Control Board, and his

_ staff will be full-fiedged officials
of the provincial police, reporting

to Colonel MeMullen, superinten-

dent, ‘and: “also being responsible

to Colonel McGougan, superin
tendent of enforcement under
the Government Liquor Act. The
attorney-Géneral expects this ar-
rangement to aid materially in
the enforcement of the Tiquoa
laws.
Very important ‘changes j in the
Motor Vehicles Act are being put
through the House by Attorney-
General Manson. In future all
drivers of motor vehicles will be
asked to pay a:fee of one dollar
and must have their licenees with
them at all times when in eharge
ofan automobile. The licences
will take the form of cards...
. Complete refutation of opposi-
“tion charges’ that the | government |:
had been ‘careless and -extrava-
gant in its handling. of land
settlement, water conservation
and timber questions was given
in the legislature bv Hon. T..D.
Pattullo, minister of lands, dur-
ing astrong speech. He predict-
ed that, while some undertakings
lad. cost heavily, largely due to
the exceptional conditions facing
-the country after the war, in
time to come: handsome orofits
would accrue. He deciared that
the timber business had develop-
ed enormously during the life of
the present government, and he
frankly claimed that the fruit
industry had been saved from
destruction because of govern-
ment relief.
