The motion of want of eontldenee was unfounded, and he had been nurprlled at the care with which the accounts were kept. The proposed systemwould be inconvenient and _expenalve. Mr. Gibson (Huron) spoke briefly, pointing out that whatever the prices paid for individual arm-lea at the King- lton Penitentiary and the Central Pris- on. the results showed that the latter wu managed much more cheaply than the former; a long series of turure* showed that the per capita Cost ln Kingston was $208 'rl, and in the Cen- tral Prllon $164 62.

The duty ot members of the committee was a most disagreeable one. and the Opposition were always overruled, he claimed. Referring to his motion on the order paper for the tenders for 1896, Mr. Marter said the Government witheld them on. a techni- cality. and added that the Government did not give anything they did not have to. It the full particulars of the Central Prison expenditures were put who public accounts he could look Ptttrtt them in half an hour, but it "ae,', take weeks. he urged, to look t ugh the invoices. Mr. 'Marter then read a letter from a person whose name or address he would not Rive, in which It was stated the Government was throwing:dts money away in some township which the speaker refused to name. Proceeding, Mr. Martcr said the Curran bridge scandal Would never have been discovered but for the Audi- tor-General's report. The members of the Opposition would not train per- sonally by the change, but they would be saved hours of hard work. Mr. Marter next quoted some prices of sup- plies, comparing the prices paid for tea at the Toronto Asylum with that paid at other asylums where " was more expensive. This, he said, show- ed the extravagance of the Govern.. ment. By quoting a number of titturtwse and comparing the prices paid at the Central Prison with those of the King- ston Penitentiary, Mr. Marter endea- vored to show that the prices paid at the former were extravagant. ---'i'Piri- - Iluvu wv on, Icaa kuall "Ill- The vote was then taken, and the Government sustained by a. vote ot " to M, a mummy of 20.

There was a good deal of debate over the clause to allow ex- cess cost of local improvements to be charged to the ratepayers without cali- ing another sitting of the Court of Re- l, vision ; tinally it was allowed, provid- , ing the excess be not over 10 per cent. I There was also a division on the clause relating to the speeding of horses on certain streets, Mr. Hardy upholding and Mr. Bronson nssaiiing it.
