History
The Nova Scotia Royal Commission Respecting Highway Expenditures in Municipal Districts No.2 and No.11, Richmond County was created by Order-in-Council dated September 19, 1957. Alfred C. Milner and Ian M. MacKeigan, Queens Counsel lawyers of Halifax, were appointed co-commissioners. Its mandate was to investigate the financial irregularities in the Department of Highways operations for the 2 municipal units, ascertain the person(s) responsible and if further proceedings are warranted, and to determine if and to what extent any persons were unpaid or overpaid. The Commission toured the relevant districts’ sections of highway on October 17 and 18, 1957, talked with the sub-foremen, and filed an interim report with the Minister of Highways on October 22, 1957. They held hearings in St. Peter’s and Arichat, NS starting November 11, 1957. The Commission filed a second interim report to the Department on December 17, 1957. Their Final Report was submitted to Government on February 11, 1958 with a supplementary report given on February 27, 1958 to correct an error. The Commission then disbanded.
