P. for West Huron, made his Maiden speech' • in the House of Commons a few days ago. The subject was the 'improve- ment of our waterways to which he has given special • study. and upon whi- ch he is probably more competent' to speak than the average member. The following is Haesard'e report oe his speech : Mr. Lewis, I am a. firm .believer in waterways, • that is, the:proper way of carrying our grain to the sea. , Je considering this p•roposed---yote• of • s sum of money to deeprn the Wella,n( canal, the real question is not wheth- er it is right and proper to put, • an elevator there, but is this a peeper. amount to pay for that elevator.: As I understand it .$95,000 is asked ,for to.' build the foundations for ateele-yator that can only carry 1,000;000 bushelsof grain. . Mr, Emmerson. 2,000,090.. • Mr. Lemeis. Well, 'say •:2,000,000. Now at Owen. Soued it costs 13,cene ts a bushel to build an elevator:: In the city of Buffalo,wheretlmloanda:... tions are in mud it costs 20 .con -t.. The - question is whether We ehould. build an•elevator there or net, - Then., is no question that we should •.spend - money on oar ..waterways., The Una-. ed States are .considering .the ques- tion of &pending $100,00.0,000 on. the • 'Erie panel. We have a- much*.shortet. canal ro carry grain. We should sp- end money on the Welland canal, •so as to enable it to take care ,of • the grain traffic. In 1.9112; 12,000,000 bele she's of grain . went through•:.13uffith because. of,the want of facilities to. carry it through ' our . own •. country. This government should pr.'omote• :the • public interests by . up', waterways. We are spending too. mu - eh. money elsewhere. We should. pPence it on our great lakes and inland. Wa terways., We have the best of facili- ties if our waterways•Were improved, for handling the traffic • three& the Welland canal and by way of Mon- treal and I want t� say t� the Coin- . mittee that last year and the:. year before, • grain was carried from Dulu- th to Quebec at one and a halt cents a bushel by .the Wolvin. • eteamers. through the Welland canal., be gdad if the Government could se. their way elear to'deepe.ning the Yet and canal. I Wish to ask the lien. -tnie • -nis.ter whether this is a:propclno- unt to be expended on the .erection -of an elevator and whether- this Work is". to be let by tender.' Private •.• cor- porations, when doing similar work,: adopt . .t he principle . of • tender . and contract. The Canadian -Pacific Rail: • way built elevators at • Owen •Sound. and at Fort William.
