In the committee Mr. Clarke protested against the com- pany's claim that this was a Toronto ght.

As regards` the application to increase the capital from ve to ten millions, the committee wasentitled to know how much of it was wanted for" watering stock and how much for crush- ing opposition, and buying out competi- tors.

Opposi- tion` sharply criticized the Public Works Department for its method of purchas- ing supplies. ~Mr. Tarts admitted the system was wrong, and an agent will be appointed. " Dr. Sprohle said it vies very suspici- ous that immediately young Mr. Charle- son, son of the overseer of the Public Works _ `Department, started up in business, oicers of the department commenced to purchase supplies from him. ~ Mr. Tarte said that while in a few instances, there might have been over- charges, yet he did not suppose that on the whole 8500 had gone in this way. He admitted, however, that there was little to say in commendation of the present system ; and he had decided to change it at once. He had decided to appoint a purchasing agent for the de- partment. This was a class of oicial appointed by large rms and corpora- ticns, and he trusted the` result would be to effect a considerable saving. Mr. Haggart said the proper system to pursue was that of public competi- tion. He would like to see the Gov- ernment get rid of the plan of purchas- ing from party friends. and give the entire country a chance. Let them adopt the policy pursued by the British Government, and prepare a schedule of V prices, and ask for offers at a percentage above or below these gures. V ` MAIL CONTRACTS.

Section threoproposed to give the Postmaster-General` power to enter into mail contracts for eight years, whereas the limit at present is four years. Mr. Sutherland said this suggestion emanented from the ofcers of the department. . Dr. Sproule denounced, in unsparing terms, the proposed change. He point- ed out how Mr. Mulock had sought to maite political capital - because, the Conservatives had .renewed certain mail contracts, and how this Govern- ment sought to obtain authority to award contracts for eight years, with a possibility of renewal for eight years more. ` -Mr. Snthsrlsnd, when-_ this `was hr ught to attention, said the system would work both wsys. Under the circumstances, he would not press the clause. . ` Mr. [Wallace condemned the section an utterly nnjnstlnble. He asked if the renewal would be for eight years. Mr. Walleoe thereupon sent for the statute, and, reading it in the light of the new clause, showed that a contract might -be renewed for eight years, making sixteen years altogether. oanadlan Magazine For Mav.
