Administration `I did _'choge, to ` lacs: terms on the Northern Pacic _.way`- Company. which the GoV_ernment,~ qof which the hon. member who last address-. - ed the House was a member, "did not` , ,hi,,k propel` to impose on the Canada- Gentral. They provided in the _agree- ment that if at anytime it _was in_ the mblic interest to acquire that railway {hey had power to do so, and astep which they need not have taken,'for the Govern- ment has always `power to expropriate , in . their way as they have ' to expropriate .a telegraph system. But Parliament has provided that while they should be bound 3., pgy $8,000 a mile they could also be ._.,,119d upon to pay the sum the road was" i".\`Ol'i,ll, $202000: or 3 - .-nile. But this is a very remote con- tingency indend. We are not dealing with the present but the contingency that is not likely to arrive in our day in con-0 nection with this railway company, viz., that the Government would cause Parlia- ment to acquire the road and pay. the bonds. If thatbe so, then why is all this talk `andwhat is the meaning of all these expressions of imposing burdens )n the people? The people are under, no burdens now. Parliament possesses the right, but Parliament is not bound to exercise that right unless it should `be in the public interest. Whatare the possi- bilities? The possibility is that at some time or other this road will be so recreant to its duties and responsibilities as to re- fuse to interchange traio upon "e ual terms with all the 'otherrailways , an if such an event should happen, then, it is '.rn_e that Parliament could take the road r.ver,,but not by paying merely $8,000 a mile, but paying whatever the road may be worth at the time. That is what- Parliament is authorized to `do Now, what is the proposition before the ilonse? And why was it thatthis propo- sition, was made in the Senate? I will tell the house. c As 1 said before, negotia- tions were going on between the manager - at the road and the Minister of Railways with regard to an alteration of that con- tract which, strictly speaking, `did not re- gnire the assent of Parliament. N egotia- ', tions were pending between the Govern- ment and the company, when, as hon. gentlemen know unfortunately. at that time the Minister of Railways became in- capable of discharging his duties, and the negotiations were in abeyance. But after the discussion in the House upon the _ reading of this Bill, the Acting Minister of Railways thought that, considering all that had been said with regard to this road, it would not be proper for the Gov- ernment, behind Parliament, to enter into an agreement with the railway company, and, as` the Bill had passed through this House, the `Government authorised that to be done which alone was possible under the circumstances - to introduce the amendment in the Senate, knowing. of course, that it had to come back for the assent of this House. And what is tle amendment? The amendmentis that in- stead of the Government being bound to pay, in case they'_'do what, as I have al- ready said, it is most improbable that they will ever be called on to do-that is to assume this railway-that instead of ;>aying$8,000 they shall pay $20,000 per mile. Now, is there any hon. gentleman in this House who honestly believes that that road will not, in the course of `three ..r four years, be worth more than $20.- W00 per mile, over and above the subsidy ? 4 ls there anyone who does not know that if the road is kept up at all--for the road of i-ailway-is.,kept up for three or four years, with additional buildings and" -aidings, &c., that that road will not ere long be ofmuch greater value than $32,- 000 per mile. 1 ask hon. gentlemen to say whether the Grand Trunk Railway could be purchased for anything like $30,- 000 or $40,000 per mile. ,1 ask lion. gen- tleman to look at the Ontario and Quebec, one of the cheapest roads that was ever built in this country, and they know that it cost more than $30,000 per mile.

The Government never supposed that $8,000 a mile would build this road.` and it took powerto issue bonds to `the `extent of $12,000 per mile ; and how have these bonds _been_ disposed` of, Mr; Barker replies as follows z-_--- ' ' nu , 1 1,, ,I,,,. 3,- ___[_-j -.__ .1115 Ann ll: UUUD IHUIU Luau q;)uv,uuv lava. auuu. n V all know that a road is constantly increas- - ing in value. A road cannot properly be nperated without constructing sidings, and other improvements necessary for `its working and trafc ; and the proposition here here is to fix that amount, $20,000 per mile, now after an investigation when we all know of a verity, that that will, at least, be its value at any time the Gov- (-.rn'nent desire to take the road over. What is there in that? Letus see the ' evidence upon which the Government de- sire to take the road over. The matter was referred to Mr. Schreiber, the Government engineer, and he made his report, and although the substance of it has -been stated to the House, I will read it at length : _ ` 1- 1 II ,,,_A_ DSTKOP repues El IOHOWB 3" - The bonds already. issued -are i s1',o"oo per mile, that the lessees had con- sented to up tothe holding" of the recent `meetings _of the shareliolders of the.'l\*oi-tihern and North-`Western Railways. Allow me "to draw attention to that ' fact. No bondscan be issued on this road with- out the consent of the bondholders of the Northern Railway and without the _con- sent of the shareholders and bondholders of the Hatniliton and N orth-Western Railway. The interest on the bonds be- ways, and a negotiation has been going on for the purpose of making this interest V part of the working expenses ; and if that is done, it will be ahead of the bond- holders claims on both roads. Is it possibleto suppose that the bondholders of the Northern Railway and the share- holders of the Hamilton & North-Western Railway are all privy to this scheme spoken of by hon. _ members opposite? They have to besatised before assenting that the bonds have been properly applied . ~Now, have these bonds been `applied ! The contractors have been given, on account of work done to this date, over $l,000,QO0; the banks, on V securing ' advances` for surveys. engineering ex- penses,,pu'rch'ase of right of ._way, the construction of `station houses, &c., $227, 000 ; and the Canada Life, as security for advances" towards--the purchase of rolling? stock, $64,000, or; $12,000 a mile; and that is the of bonds which up to date the pcomps"iiyl|'_s'tlspower to issue.

The accounts between. the company and the contractors have not yet been adjusted ; and although the evidence of Mr. Bailey,- the engineer, appeared to satisfy Mr. Schreiber that the cost would be about $20,000 ,a mile, at ` present the shareholders have only sanctioned the issue of 317,000 a mile. But we know that the balance of the $20, 000, or nearly so, will have to be issued. N ow, the question comes back to a very simple one. . Is it better that this company should be empowered to issue these bonds at their fair value, or that it should be compelled to go on the market with bonds havinga cloud cast upon them by the 187 4 l- It has been said the company entered into that agreement with their eyes open, and ought not to be relieved. While that may be the case. it may still be expedient to alter-a bargain, not mere- ly in the interest of the company, but in the interest of the country ; and I say it is in the interest of the coun_try to enable the companvato oat its bonds on the best terms that can be got. The company must pay the interest; and if the bonds realize only two-thirds of their value, the greater burden they will impose on the road-4-the "greater must be its earnings to pay theinterest upon" them. One word , more, and I am done. It is said the contract does not authorise the company to purchase rolling stock. Itifs true, the -contract:is not very explicit , on that . `point; but it was always the intention , that rolling stock should be put on the , road. I should like to.know what would be the use of the road if there were no rolling stock upon it. I The ` contract implies,-;_ because referenceris made to it in one part, that rolling stock should be put upon the road- But, as a matter of" fact rolling` stock is being put on, it," and is . necessary". for -its. operations. 5 I The mere rails between Gravenhursl and `Callander would not give the people of the Province what they want without the road has rolling steel: to do '/the ,work;.`-_and rolling stock is being supplied. Under the circumstances, I do not think this House will hesitate for Senate in ' this amendment; which is brought in under the circumstances I have mentioned, and which could have been `dealt with behind `back at; = the House by an alteration,jif the Government had thought fit to adopt that course ; but it ; has -been .brought.be,f.ore,. the House to , , be discussed openly. so that the _full _' merits and demerits of the transactions may one; momentto endorse the action of the agreement made with the Government in seen.
