miles from eastern terminus of tho Kingston Road and can safely assert that teontwontleths of the loaded teams that pass my door come from without the coun ty This being case I beg to submit that it seems only and fair that tho county should willingly or contribute some assistance towards keep ing up tils 11 miles of road that runs through the Township of This may scorn a reason to Mr but wo fail to either justice or reason in it from a standpoint Had he argued that in asmuch as twentieths of all tho heavy teaming on this road comes from on way to Toronto that that township thus largely advantaged by a good stone bo asked to contribute towards its maintenance the reason would be apparent but when ho asks municipalities from thirty to fifty miles distant to maintain a high way never used by them he asks for the imposition of a burden up on noninterested taxpayers both un reasonable unjust Supposing tho York Roads had never been con structed would hate had to keep up this highway and if that township and Pickering muni cipalities almost entirely interested want to have a gravelled road of such a character and grade as will tho farming community thereof to roach Toronto markets at all seasons of the year with their produce why not let them pay for it and not compel distant and disinterested municipalities to be taxed for their special advantage with out giving any consideration in return We have thus referred at some length to Mr argument because it is about only one used by Soar- representatives in seeking to force county to contribute towards the maintenance of this Kingston Road Our local P will please make a note of this phase of tho issue A comes from Ottawa that local well the local die oyer an effort which is made to bring Frank from Toronto to make

The situation so critical that marines have been landed from the British and French warships to protect the consulates of their respective Govern ments Hon Postmaster- General speaking at last week said that ho had been deal ing in his official capacity with a cer tain class of mail contracts He said there were no less than contracts in for carrying mails not on railways The system that existed under the old Government was gen erally of course there were exceptions to give this class of contracts to party heelers The law says these contracts must be awarded under tender Some times the contracts were given with out a pretence for tenders sometimes the advertisements for ten- dors wore hung up but immediately taken down again before one had time to see them sometimes they wore hung with the printing towards the wall or under a map or other ad vertisement The contracts were awarded to political favorites under one pretence or another I found a contract in for carrying the mail from one train to another the man got per year and the con tract was for four years Last year Mr Wood the member for that rid ing got a new arrangement made instead of this man the con tract at per year he was appoint ed a permanent Government officer at the same salary Then he continued to carry tho mail between the two trains but transferred the contract to his brother who was an engine driver at Perth then the people had to pay instead of for this service When I assumed office I dismissed the second man The original contract or was very indignant and showed his indignation by getting drunk However this work is now be ing dene for In Chatham I found a man getting per for collecting the letters from the street boxes Tenders were advertised for and the contract awarded under public competition and now the work is be ing satisfactorily done for per year The Mail said I took it from Tory and gave it to a Liberal There is nothing done in secret and I know nothing of the politics of any tenderer I found another contract which had been held for twenty years in Sir Charles Tuppers family the man who held the contract also held a Government office The contract was to carry the mail four times a day to the post office and the price was six hundred and fifty dollars per year As this contractor was a kidgloved gentleman who could not soil his hands with work he hired a man to do it for him I cancelled the con tract and awarded it again at a little over per year At the rate I have been working during the seven months I have been in office it will take me two years to go over the whole field As the contracts are for four years each dollar saved means four dollars I have cancelled con tracts amounting so far to 162000 and out of this I have saved to the country over Multiply this by four times and it represents over saved already The exact figures are Contracts cancelled so far 162112 same contracts renew ed amount saved 42- In addition to the saving on this class of mail contracts expect this year if I have my own way which is difficult sometimes to save no lees than 50000 in salaries I think that before the Governments term of office expires I shall be able to make the Post Office Department selfsustaining instead of having a de ficit of as at present More than to bring Canada in to line with the other great civilized nations of the world and give you a twocent

we are paying these liabilities If found a state of affairs in the post department so rotten that positively declined to assume any re sponsibility for them I had two first- class accountants
