Redmond, George Murray and Ex-Aid. Oscar Larsen appeared before the city council at Its meeting last night. Answers to some of the questions on the questionable were given by the Council, Information on some of the others being lacking so far as the city was concerned. In preliminary remarks. Mr. Lord referred briefly to the situation's seriousness." We are sitting on dynamite," he declared. In the near future a general meeting of the unemployed was to be held and jthe central executive was seeking proper Information to lay befon; that meeting so that responsibility for the situation might be placed the door where it rightfully b longed. In view of this, the ques-tlonalrre s had been prepared for submission to the city council as being the body from which information was most likely to be re celveqV Apparently there had been gross mismanagement. The first question was as to when the city had received advice that the municipal unemployment relief program had been cut from $100,000 to $47,000. Notice had een received on December 22, the Mayor replied. The next question asked If such a cut had been general among all municipalities and if all municipal ities had been notified at same time. Mayor Orme could not answer definitely to this but he did not think there had been discrimination First a cut of fifty percent had been made In the appropriations and then an additional five percent. The case of Burnaby in which $720,000 had' been at first asked for but never more than' $400,000 assured, five percent even- i tually being deducted from tho $400,000. was referred to. The Mayof could not give an answer to the query. If British Columbia was the only province In which road camps administered by the provincial authorities were now Inactive.
