On this particular point he was not sure thet some proposals of the bill were not in the right direction. It was perhaps un- fortunate that the mutter had been brought up in the House at the present time. The' bill in some respect went too fur.

That had been done with . somewhat simi- lar bill in 1893, when importent changes were made, which, he aapumedlhad been up raved by the profession.
