It really has no voice in the selection of a site and it was only by reason of my inter- vention that the Barrie authorities were consulted. The reason why it has no voice is obvious, because the responsibility is entire- ly with the Minister who is directly respon- sible to Parliament for all expenditure made by him. nah nnI-l-Inn'I~I\i- n-L-In nnnnnnn in Air` `nun: BXOODB 6 copy 01 nuuaunu.

Farther on you write, that until you re ceived my letter of the 30 ult. you had no intimation that a deed was required for the location of the Wharf, and you also ask if a deed was not necessary when Mayor Baden- hurst interposed and stopped the commence- ` ment of the re construction and repair of Wharf in February 1901 why is a deed re- quired now? ' In reply I would point out that when the grant was first made and revoted in 1901, it was tor re-construction and repair. When again revoted in 1902 it was by the Minister s resolution made for construction alcne:' it was evidently the Minister s opinion under these conditions that a deed was required, but apparently when for re-construction and repair no deed is necessary. However, I see that you dier from the Minister in your opinion and think that the title to the necessary property upon which to constructs Wharf is already in the Dominion Government, no deed is there; fore required by them. Your predecessor could not surely be of _ your opinion or he never would have taken .it upon himself to interfere with and stop a Government o`i- cial ' in the execution of his orders upon Government property. 'If it is found that your opinion is the V correct one, it will be unnecessaryto delay matters further, but stance to take what preliminary steps are necessaryand roceed with the construction of the wharf w ere it seems best to the Gov: ernment.

The fsrmerwho was on the marketearly did not like the idea of havingto wait until 10:30 to clear out his stock to the merchants, while on" the other hand, the farmer who brought in his produce at half-past nine and ten o clock was more than pleased with the ar- rangement. The farmers who came in early, however, will have to bear in mind the fact that the citizens have not accustomed them- selves to the new order of things yet.
