Prior to the last Dominion election he went to Ottawa to try and enact a settlement of this debt. The Mackenzie Administration w.~re in power then and told him they were quite willing to consider the question of settlement, but they preferred to leave it over until after the gencrnl election. After the election, however, another party acceded to power, and the answer he got to his application to them we! I very reasonable one.
