The House went into committee on the bill `to amend the Franchise Act, 1898, and a long discussion took place on the first clause, which provides that the voters` lists to be used. in an election shall be those which were in,-force on the day and date of the writ for such Dominion election. In other words, the sixty day limitation in the act of 1898 is abolished. Many members of the House contended. that the change proposed by the So- licitor-Gcneral, was a retrograde one; that by striking out the provision that the lists may be sixty days` old, it would not be possible to print the .list at the Government Printing Bureau; that the `list -would then have to be secured from the provincial authorities and candidates put to un- necessary expense therefor. The mea- sure was reported from the commit- tee with the understanding that all `its clauses would be subject to fur- vthcr revision should the Government `on consideration decide to accept any `of the amendments suggested.

They [Notes iofythe Proceedings in the the steel made from them would con- tain a percentage of nickel, which would be found inthe rails this-com- panyproposed to make for us. This, . while it did not form an element in the price, would add materially to the durability of the rail. The es- tablishment of this industry ,.'was con- tingent upon their securing from the Government a fair order, and an or- der for a sufficient quantity to guar- antee them that they would have ems l ployment for their plant as abasie from which to Invite and encourage ` the introduction of capital for . that purpose.
