Mr; Graham: Those buildings were ac- quired at a comparatively small cost to the country. It might be said that they are temporary andthat to keep them in a state of repair would cost a good deal of money. 'I'he-estimated value of the equipment sent across is, I am informed, considerably near- er 85,000,000 than $10,000,000. It must, however, be remembered that one of the difficulties in assembling the machines and engines is that one part may have to be taken from one -machine and another from another, and we have reached almost the limit in connection with that.

If the figures we were given in my home town, Barrie, were correct. between eight and ten million dollars worth of equipment was presented to this country by the Imperial authorities after the war. f This equipment came to Camp Borden in car- load lofs, and it did not cont. this country a cent of money. except possibly some trans- portation charges. Hence, the plant is un- doubtedly extensive there aind also up-to- date. I am led to believe. Apart from as- sembling. transportation charges and the` percentage that was paid by Canada fori these extensive buildings constructed by] the Imperial" authorities. we are getting all `this for nothing. I would think, before I the department seriously considers establish- i ing` new plants, they-would make very surei l`hnt they are going to save any money by so doing. because there is no question that there is ample room for expansion at Camp `Borden.

I Now, time has not improved matters. The work of the carrier has been increased. He now has to handle registered letters; he has to sell stamps; he has to take care of the parcelpost. His responsibility isgreatgl er. The public enjoy this service; I be- lieve it is the best thing that was ever done for the farming community and. even if an improved system did cost .a little more the farmers are entitled to it and should have it. They appreciate it, but as they l I 1 come a little more exacting and look for greater efficiency. The demands made upon every carrier are therefore greater, but the remuneration remains practically the` same. Let. us make a comparison or two.| What is the system in vogue in the Unitedi States? There they adopt the uniform, system of $75 a mile. and the position isl a permanent one`so long as the work isl properly performed. Why should not some such system be adopted here? The onlyVob- jection I have heard to it is that there is a variation in routes; one route is harder than another, and for that reason such a; basis of remuneration might not work out` fairly. Well, it must work out fairly in the United States or they would not- have adopted it there. It is true that upon` some routes theroads are better than upon others, but as a rule where you have these better roads. you have a more congested population and more work for the carrier to do. From there you go to the routes where the roads are not as good and where the carrier has less work to do so that one condition would counterbalance the other.` I suggest, therefore. the consideration of a l rate per mile for this service. I am not s saying what it should be; that is a matter r for the department itself. ll 1 i 1 < 1 1 l x 1 will continue at the same rate, but if he; is able to show that he should have some increase, even only to the extent of $25, the minister now -has no power t;)_ award the contract on that basis to the man who has been doing the work satisfactorily and who has the equipment for properly carrying it out. It may be objected that to give }the minister that power would place upon {him or upon his superintendent a vcsponsi- `bility that he should not undertake. If the suggestion involved` $500 or 8600 net con- tract, I could give way to that thought. but when it is limited to $100 or $150 itl seems to me that that objection is not sufficient to stand in the way. -._._ . _-v.,..
