H, Sawle * ae Publisher WE LIBERALS OF SMITHERS Last week in its leading editorial the Interior News of Smithers came’ out flat fnoted for a policy of local pat- ronage conmmittees—the most vicious of all forms of mis-government, and 2 practice which has taken years to get away from, even in part. an The Liberals of Smithers have de- liberately held up the building of the Driftwood Creek bridge; or tried to hold it up, until they could get in their ove in favor of “local contractors and local labor.” Semie good Liberal, no doubt wants to contract for that ‘Little bridge, nossibly- some party, hangef-:on. ‘ne Interior News makes’ the _ mis- stotement that “Since all time in this district, bridgemen heave been sent from the south to look after construc- tion, aud very often they have brought their own labor. with them.” Except in case of very large bridges or steel bridges, the work has . been done by local labor. Did not Ernie Woodward of Smithers, handle many bridge jobs for many years, not only in this district, but in other districts? Even in. the case of the big steel ‘gtruc- ture over the Hagwilget canyon local” lnbor was‘ used on every job possible. The: Supdrintendent arid foreman were brought. in, yes. But they were per- manent employees of the government, Steel workers were also brought in, but it is doubtful if even the Interior News has anyone. it would, like; to Tecominend YOR. ‘steel -workérsjobF. “Practically. ‘all. timber, bridges. have been built by local Inhor ‘under -he, sujiervision of mem: hers . of: the . government's permanent staff. To have “we Liberals of Smithers” or even we Conservatives of Smithers ‘or nny other place, interfering with the policy of the ‘public works depart- ment is altogether too viclons for even a Liheral campaign herring. British Columbia is paying nmiuch too high now. from private interference in - work programs, and too big a price is heing paid for ward heeling, and for party hangers-on.
