Customs Probe Stalls Over Procedure At Ottawa Hearing
Ottawa March 3 The customs committee spent the morning debating its programme of procedures. After long discussion Liberal D Donaghy urged a Vancouver move but was blocked by Hon. R B Bennett who warned against disorganized speeches. An amendment to bar members from examining company books passed five to three, while Donaghy’s motion to continue work in British Columbia failed eight to one. The panel questioned why Dominion Distillers alone was required to produce books, with H H Stevens saying the firm may be involved in smuggling and that its records are fake. The committee will reconvene this afternoon.

No Telephone Rate Boost Until After Election Is Over
Edmonton reports the government telephone department expects a 1926 operating surplus of about $50,000 but offers no replacement reserve. The 1924 deficit reached $123,000 and 1925 about $8,000, both without a reserve. A caucus of government members will discuss cabinet recommendations to delay rate increases until after the provincial election. Farmers argue increases are needed but support is postponed to avoid voter criticism. The department foresees $50,000 in 1026, insufficient for a proper reserve of $150,000 annually or at least $100,000.
