Masterly review of agriculture work highlights Edmonton session
In Edmonton the legislature heard a long, polished review of the department of agriculture by Hon. Duncan Marshall, praised for eloquence and conviction. Mr. Hillocks delivered a 46 minute counter speech attacking the attorney general’s department and using sharp terms. A question about a $400 bond in the Heaton case elicited the remark that Joseph A. Clarke had no estate to cover collection. Alberta plans to raise general revenues with a new tax as seen in other provinces.
