Heavy penalities will be included in the Act for all infractions and the Act will be strictly enforced. They will also use every effort with the Dominion Government, under whose jurisdiction the matter.lies, to see that legislation is passed at Ottawa which will stop the importation of liquor into this Province by priyate parties so that all liquor purchased and sold in British Columbia will be absolutely under Government control. 15.

Dec.^80thi 1918. Chairman, Board of Directors, Land-Settlement Board, Victoria, '.-}&,. Dear Sir,ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ *f ~ I wish to make request for an increase in my present salaty from $200 a month to $800 per.;month, as the present rate is quite inadequate to meet the present demands, of the position. Verv.much as I would re- -gret to have to take such a step, fail ing your being able to meet with my request I will be -forced to let this stand in lieu of one month's notice eac- piring on January 31st next. - Yours trnlv, . FRED LISTER, Superintendent. Acceptance of Resignation January 5th, 1920 Lt. Col. Fred Lister, Creston, B.C. Dear Sir; .Your letter of recent date regarding increase in salary has been receiyed: and noted. The Board having discus-^ sed the matter thoroughly is of the opinion that in view of.the very defin ite position taken by you in your letter there is no possible.course open but to accept the same as your formal resignation, taking effect J an nary 31st 1920. In explanation of the Boards position it is desired to point out that a material increase such as you suggest may have far reaching effects. Salaries throughout the board's operations have been graded on a system which is obiviously not altogether within the control of the Board itself, being influenced by outside conditions to a large extent and by the general proceedure in the government service. This being the case, the Board cannot meet individual demands arising from time to time without making a proportionate increase throughout the service. It is recognized that certain officials and employees of the board,, yours-i If included/have made sonVe. sacrificed in theï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½matter of salaries-inyiew-'of the fact that the development undertakings of the board are still some distance short of proved success, and that those charged with the direction of the worjs are passing through a probationary phase. These sacrifices were never more necessary than at this particular time, especially in tbe case of the Area under'your charge. If howeyer, as indicated in your letter, you are no longer prepared or able to "make such sacrifices it only re-, mains for^ther-Boafd tOTecrignlze~tlfis' excellent service you have rendered in the past and' the unswerving loyalty shown by you towards the Boaid and the settlers in your'charge. It is hoped that nothing in the , above will affect the friendly relations hitherto existing between the Board and yourself. Your suggestions regarding the appointment of a superintendent to succeed you will be cordially welcome, although provision for this is already under consideration. Honing the change you anticipate may bring yon prosperity, we remain. Yours faithfully. Land Settlement Board . R. Di-Davies, *ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½-.ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½..

No specific complaint re the clause objected to recently has been laid with this board. The agreement referred to is the one in use in the Courtney Area andlis entirely s&**ysfiM5tory to the settlers there. The clause referred to has been deleted by the Minister of Agriculture, but there is no doubt actually iu the minds of any the settlers as to the readiness of the Land ^tuement Board - to meet fairly, any case of disability or misfortune occuring*. 4. Statement that settlers did not know the price of their alloted farms. All settlers at Creston and at Merville were formally notified more than two months aï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½o the exact price of their allotted farms. No objection has been raised, collectively or otherwise, so far to these prices. 5. Statement that the Board after accepting- Col. leisters resignation, employed the following men in his place for work that he would have been able to do; (a) Superintendent; (b) Mill .Superintendent; (c) Travelling Superin- cendent; (a) A Superintendent,was employed in Lis-, ters place commencing at a.salary of $1-50.00 per month, which has sinoe been raised, after a period ofprobation, to $200.00j>er month. <b) Th-e. Board has no Mill Superintendent, the work being looked after by a millwright who built the mill and, who looks after al the repairs. .. (c) Finally there is no such thing as a Travelling Superintendent. *ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ 6. Statement that Coi taster's resignation was on account of his dissatisfaction with Land Settlement Board treatment to ^ settlers. - We append herewith Col. Lister's letter of re8igna~non together with our reply thereto. Further to this, CoL Lister at no tune made any complaint as to the board's policy. In making the above answers it is desired to point out that all these matters Vitally affect the welfare of the Land Settlement Board as a Department, and, while strict instructions have been enforced on all officials to refrain from entering into discussions of a political nature, it is'considered that the mis-statement of facts involved in the above complaints re^ quired to be refuted in the interest of the work itself (Signed) R.

Would a business man sign an agreement and pay money to a vendor of land without insuring that he would get the land when he paid for it? The Government does not state which clause has been cut out; whether it hi the one which provides that iii default of payment 'all improvements shall become the property of the Board," or the clause which gives the Board the right to cancel tbe agreement and keep, all payments and improvements madeï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½even if 90 peir cent, completedï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½if "in the opinion of the Board the settlers "owing to physical disability, laek of energy, OR OTHER CAUSE the purchaser should become unfitted to engage successfully in farming,'* AND FORBIDS HIM TO APPEAL TO THE COURT. Either clause gives a right to the Board to take from the settler's wife and children any results of years of hard work under the hardest to conditions AND TURN THEM OFF THE PLACE WITHOUT A DOLLAR. Is this the sort of treatment you would want for yourself OR YOUR WIFE AND CHILDREN ?
