wueld rather were lett undeveloped. Eat -
amused alder oath Deputy eluutr of Rail-

u connection with the $4,000,000 job, the
original contract price fur earth excavation
was 24 omits per yard. The contractor
subsequently thought they were cot getting
enough out or the Government, • good mulch
ouw, and • private arrangement was enter-
ed into with the wotraotore, mores/Mg the
prim to 60 omits per yard. Now, it the

Solraber told the public acoonots commit-
tee that although the oostractor had, under
bus original casino., screed to do rock ex-
o.vatics at the rate of 95 oasts pr yard, by
private areeageatent the price paid him was
mermaid to $1.40 per yard. Under the orir-
atil 000treet the price of m.onry was 45
per (cubic yard, but evidently he thought that
at the raw the ooatractot generally would
be restricted when he wished to help his
triode, and they accordingly by private ar-
rangement increased the price to $12.60 per
cublo yard.

edditiou to the above, the committee were
given several other illustrations of .bat the
Government .ill do when they are not
spending thar own, but other people's
money.

it was to be only skilled labor,

that the palbie were being robbed pre-

There was : burst of Liberal amp-

oprited fire on the Government without
