_ _ Astory in the Vancouver Sun
recently that workmen on the
construction of Calvary Temple
two years ago were pald by a
highway contractor is loaded
with Hes. ‘i

This was the statement High-
ways Minister P. A. Gaglardi
made to the Kamloops Sentinel
last week on his return from-El-
lensburg, Wash.

As soon as his plane landed
in Kamloops Mr. Gaglardi went
to the Sentinel office,

There he stated that the Van-
couver Sun story is ‘part of
combined forces who said they
were going to get him.

The coast report states that
wages of two workmen on the
Calvary Temple were paid by the
Bonanza Construction which was
building a highway near Revel-
stoke.

“No construction firm by the
name of Bonanza Construction
worked for the department of
highways,” said Mr, Gaglardi.

“Secondly, if any wages were
donated to Calvary Temple that
was a matter between Calvary
Temple and those who donated
them. No such arrangements
were ever carried out by me.

“As minister of highways I
am responsible to the people of
this province to sec to It that
the department of highways
is operated so that everyone is
treated fairly, and taxpayers
interest at all times is main-

ed.

“Contracts can only be had
by bidding on competitive basis,
and we. have an established poli-
cy that if the low bidder meets
the requirements of the contract
and the department of finances
he must be allowed the job.

Gaglardi Defends Depariment

Temple is. organized under the
laws of the province of British
Columbia, and is incorporated
with a board of directors who
carry out the business of the
church,

“My only association is that
I am the minister — I receive
no salary — nor does my wife —

from Calvary Temple and have]:

not since I was was made minis-
ter of highways.
“One of the most discourag-
ing things to me — and it takes
a lot to discourage me — Is the
constant endeavor by my en-
einies to implicate wrongdoing
in connection with my church.
“The congregation of Calvary
could discharge me as the min-
ister at any time. I have no fi-
nancial Interest in anything that
is held under the name of Cal-
vary Temple, nor do I receive
any salary for my contribution.
Mr, Gaglardi stated that dur-
ing the building of Calvary Tem-
ple many were

made on numerous occasion that
if anyone was unable to volun-
teer himself, perhaps he could
hire someone to work in hls place.
“Many local people. did this,
and ‘any such arrangements
were carried out by Tony Gag-
Inrdi, wha was hired by Cal-
vry Tempte to look after the

ned in the tlme of those charg-
ed to Calvary Temple,” Mr.
Gaglardi sald.

“That. fact has never been
hidden; at the opening of the
church it was stated that 80 per
cent of te labor had been donated.

“I have stated previously,
and want to state again, the L
& M contract can stand all the
scrutiny anyone wants to give.
Not only is the department an
open book, but my life is,’
