Grand Trunk shall pay for such
stock its par -value in earth.
Atter some debate Mr. R. 1101',

policy of the Covernment on this
subject, and also a et atemeat wheth-
er the Government replotted the tic-
quisition of $25,000,000 worth at
etnumon stock by the Grand Trunk as
of any advantage to the country,
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said the (lee-
)'minent placed great tionedence 111

the scheme, and everything that
Ivould help to bring them Into it
would be of benefit. Ile did not see
why the Grand. Trunk should be pen-
alized in this way, 871 stock
would be sold at the 00111111011 mar-
ket value, of course.
Mr. Barker said that there was no
reason why, under the1VOCC11/41`, of
the bill, the Grand Trunk Railway
Company might not lm allotted the
whoie of this stock in return for the
granting of terminal facilities and
traffic arrangenionte.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier pointed out
that in the computing of freights the
actual amount of money put into
the road was to be considered, so
that if only twenty million dollars

would be considered.
The amendment was lost.
Mr. 11:e81p moved the amendment,
standing in his mune, providing that
niajority of the directors of the stoat-
pany shall be British subjects.
Sir Wilfrid Laurier said that he
was iirepared to accept the amena-
ment, .but he thought it would bo
better to insert it in the bill con-
firming the agreement between tile
Government and the company.

forth many eriticievne as to the sal-
aries of judges. Mir. Osier pointed
out that the salaries of judges were
muole too low, to Seth an extent
that ninny of them haid to engage
in other purstuits for which they
were unfitted. • IlIn thought t50 re-
solution did not go nearly far
