The amount involved was large, and involved grave conseriuences. The arbitrator for Ontario was paid, and the ser- vices of the Dominion arbitrator had also been paid, but Ontario would have a claim acairvitoebee for part of the expenses 0. the third arbitrator) and the Lower Province would of course have to pry its own arbitra- be. With regard to the Municipalities Ford, the'matter need not appear in the estimate! at all, but he thought it better 'hat all sumo which had to be paid " tho Government should come before the Home. in the case of Land improvements, the sum shed for was $290,386, which would be dis- tributed in the manner Indicated.
