I "We haven't paid anything yet tor election expenses; it will have to be fa bigger Job than that boulevard." The investigation then proceeded for some time, and as he left the chair he remarked, "That Job is why my hair is changed to grey." (Laughton) Chief License Inspector Burrows ot Toronto testified that the clubs should he brought under the regulations ot the liquor license law with respect to fire escapes. Examined at some length about the Woodbine Hotel tire, he said that he did not consider the fire escape equipment adequate. but It was the some as in most knur- g.li'itiRritar iiaihrdiiti! bf nut yum .

Multiple Voting Stands. The thorny question of multiple voting once more came to the top when the Toronto Western Hospital bill was in committee. Mr. A. c, Pratt (South Norfolk). Mr. C. Mo Keown (Dui'ferin) and Mr. Allar Studholme (East Hamilton) strentr ously opposed clause 33, which relut nxt-tam m-mv voting. Th: To Mr. Evan E. Fraser (Welland) Mr. Upper stated that he had not been allowed for extra work which had to be done on the contract through mistakes by the engineers ot the Park Commission. Mr. Charles Lobb, Mr. Upper's part- ner, did not apparently relish the op- portunity of giving evidence before the committee and rather churlishly denied having made any payments on; account ot election expenses. l Extras in connection with the con- struction ot the Niagara River bottle... vard by the Queen Victoria Niagara Falls Park Commission was the sub- ject of the investigation before the Public Accounts Committee yesterday morning. Mr. William Proudfoot (Centre Huron) continued his careful examination into the payments on ac- count of this work to contractors. Mr. William Upper, who built a portion ot the road, was inclined to think he had not been fairly dealt with. "You haven't got a look-in ex- cept to take what he gives you," he declared. with reference to the work 1of Mr. John H. Jackson, Park Super- intendent and Engineer, "and he will take good care you don't get any more than is coming to you. He gave us a nice trimming on that little piece of work; Just leave it to John H." Mr. Upper said he did a lot of hard work and got little out of it. The extras on this contract amount- ed to about $1,000. Mr. Upper was insistent in his declaration that none of the money went for campaign con- tributions. As a matter of fact. when all costs were considered there was nothing left over. ENIAGARA BOULEVARD llIllull UNDER COMMITTEES PROBE chuy Vrr' ed to multiD'e first named mo, struck out, but South.

' 'LIBERAL MAY Igtlt"".tjltl2" _' AGAINST HUN. WI'J. my The Legislature did not adjourn, " expected, for prorogation last night, and the House will assemble again on Monday next. The two principal items remaining to be disposed of are the report of the Select Committee on Redistribution and a probable re- vival of the Snider episode by the Opposition. In regard to the latter incident. it is understood that Mr. C. M. Bow- man (North Bruce) will prefer a for- mal charge. on his responsibility as a member of the Housq against Hon. W. J. Hanna for the alleged sending of Provincial License Inspector Sni- der into the counties of Huron. Peel and Welland during the recent Can- ada temperance act campaigns. What line Mr. Bowman's charges will take have not been disclosed, but it is ex- pected that he will demand a. proper investigation before a. select commit- tee of the House or the Committee on Privileges and EIectiorts,"whit?tt in- vestigated the Proud'foot charges against year. Hon. Mr. Duff pointed out that sev- oral counties had availed themselves of the opportunity of the publicity, and found it in their interests. Mr. Mayberry (South Oxford) was quite favorable to the publicity scheme for counties. That the agricultural possibilities of Ontario's counties may become known to the world at large, a bill has been introduced by the Hon. Jus. Duff, Minister of Agriculture, to assist counties in getting out publicity lit- erature. The bill allows it payment by the Province of one-third of the cost ot the publicity up to $1,000. Mr. ltowell wanted the bill to go farther when it was considered by committee yesterday. He thought the publicity association should be given power to make a study of agricultur- al conditions in each county. He thought they might also take up the requirement of the Agricultural High School, which would be nearer to the public than the Ontario Agricultural College. Mn.
