OTTAWA
(CI)
The
government
parried
through
a
two-hour
morning
session
of
Commons
today
a
C.C.F.
amendment
which
the
Prime
Minister
said
amounted
to
a
want
of
confidence
motion
in
his
administration,
involving
dissolution
and
election.
Duplicating
a
delicate
situation
which
arose
on
the
laU
day
of
the
last
session,
the
C.C.P.
moved
for
immediate

considention

Act
and
was
supported
from

benches
in
a
request
for

that
would

Rehabilitation
of

city
council
has
decided
alter
coming
to
con-elusion
that
getting
the
work
done
on
contract
would
be
"dif?
flcult
and
uneconomical."
Council
reached
this
decision
at
their
Monday
night
meeting
after
ascertaining
that
investigation
of
contract
prices
for
paving,
drainage
and
all-round
reconstruction
at
the
present
time
would
exceed
the
cost
of
having
it
done
by
city
workmen
under
supervision
of
the
Engineer.
Council
passed
a
motion,
introduced
by
Alderman
T.
N.
Youngs
and
seconded
oy
Alderman
George
Rurrerham,
that
it
is
"difficult
and
uneconomical
under
present
conditions
to
do
street
rehabilitation
work
under
contract
and
that
the
necessary
work
be
don?
by
the
city
engineering
department."
Council
authorized
the
city
en-t
gineer
to
purchase
a
crushed
rock
loader
at
a
price
f
$8,500
and
asked
him
to
obtain
prices
on
other
necessary
equipment
"at
the
earliest
possible
moment."
The
street
rehabilitation
program
facing
council
Is
a
major
project
for
which
the
city
received
a
grant
of
$143,000
from
the
federal
government
some
months
ago
In
compensation
for
wartime
damage,

for
which
