This.is serious. It vmea-ns thatithe company must earn,sover and above expenses, $2,000 a mile on the line be- tween Winnipeg and Moncton, `and the thing is `impossible. The cause of the increased cost is political con- struction. `Major Hodgins gave. an insight` into what is going on. He charged that we are paying about twice over for the line. The revela- tion about the terminals is another explanation of the increased cost. A politician bought --the terminals for $99,000, and sold again to .the Gov- ernment for $222,000. `In this `case; the . country paicl more than twice the `price. v_ -` ' The jump from-$51,300,006 to $124.- 403,2I9 is `important. It is `important to the taxpayers who have to borrow the money :and to pay interest on it -for seven years, and it is important to the company also. It increases the company : rental from $1,539,000 per annnm to $3,732,000 per annum. In a word, the Grand Trunk went in- to -this contract expecting to pay $1,- 500,000 a year for the roadthat as be- ing buiit _for `it, and now it nds that it `N31! have to pay $2,000,000 per an- nun: more than the sutn the Govern- ment mentioned; ` 9 A. pretty severe strain was put` on - 4th_e` fraonking: p_rivilegef_a few days ago ywh_en thee;Town was ooded with :*Grit campaign literatute through. the` medium of His` Majesty s` mails.
