No. 42. “A Question for Pay Day.”
Reading edition
The “Opposition Quartette” had vigorously assailed the action of the Hon. A. McKellar for having, in his capacity as Minister of Public Works, granted a half holiday (at the public expense) to the workmen engaged in building the Central Prison at Toronto, to allow them an opportunity of attending a nomination meeting in the West Division of the city. In view of the meagre amount of work done on the left side of the Speaker during the Session, “Grip’s” question was quite logical.
March 21st, 1874.
No. 42.
A QUESTION FOR PAY DAY; Or, “CENTRAL PRISON” LOGIC APPLIED.
Grip (loq.)—“GENTLEMEN, IS THERE ANY ‘SCANDAL’ ABOUT YOUR DRAWING A FULL SESSION’S PAY FOR—NO WORK AT ALL?”
