The statement was made by
Colonel Thompson that it was
the greed of the competitors
that made the price of water-
front lots so high. This is of
course true. An auction sale
always works up the excitement
of the crowd and people pay
far more than they would in a
sober moment. The strange
part, however, is that this is
the method of disposing of
lands that appeals to the pro-
vincial government. When there
are good jobs or contracts to
give away the government is
not so anxious to give every-

property for the good reason
that the government was in the
real estate business and work-
ed it to a finish. It is about
time the government took up
its proper function of protect-
ing the people instead of ex-
ploiting them,

the government has placed us
