Wher the report of the Committ« e | on Supply on the supplementary esti-- mates was being presented the Hmm-' sition made it known that three votes . will be challenged ard fought to a division.

Ar animated debate is likely to ensue | on this subject, as the Opposition is | determined to make the facts of the enormous . experditure on the new premises known throughout the Prov-- ince. Following the same line of reasoning, when Mr. Harna informed the House, in respect of an item of ' $125,000 for the new _ reformatory, ; | that the institution when completed | | would cost about $1,800,000, Mr. Bow--| li mar promptly asked that the resolu--| tion be held over for diseussion, and, | ! as a further warning, a similar re.| quest was made roegarding a vote of | || $200,000 for the new Hospital for the | | Insane at Whitby. | l e taiinmeeanfteinaaatiaants
