Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Reform Government in the Dominion: Hon. Edward Blake Before His Constituents of the South Riding of Bruce; Speech Delivered by Him at Teeswater, Monday, Sept. 24th, 1877
The Board of Penitentiary Directors was composed of three members. It had a good deal of power, and involved a good deal of expense. Its work was not satisfactory and you may perhaps remember an investigation before a Committee of the House in connection With some transactions at St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, which did not re?ect credit on the Board or its superiors. Mr. Foumier abolished the Board; substituting for it one ins ector, who is an officer of the Department of Justice. It is true that by this change more wor was imposed on the Minister, but at the same time greater economy, a more direct responsibility, and a higher degree of efficiency have been produced. The financial results have been that whereas the annual charge for the years 1870 to 1874' was within a tri?e of the charge for 1876 was or about half the former amount. (hear, hear, and cheers.)
