Mr. Marsha)l's notice of motion was for the production of documents and correspondence, etc., in connec-- tion with the Rockefeller Founda-- tion grant, but his resolution was merely something by which -- he brought 'his real subject before the House. « He reviewed the past his-- tory of laws in connection with the University of Toronto, particularly the University Act of 1905. "This act gave controlling power to the Board of Governors, and it also gave the Government of the day the power to appoint the _ members of -- this board. The President and Chancellor were ex--officio memberse of this board, but the other 22 members were named 'by the Lieutenant--Governor-- in--Council, being appointed for a term of six years, or until removed. Graduates Have No Voice? "We have this situation," said Mr. Marshall. *"'The gradui'tes of the University of Toronto, who now num-- ber, of course, many thousands, are cut off from active participation in the University." He said he had been told that the reason the Univer-- sity Act had been passed in the form it was, was due to the advice of one prominent man in Toronto, a suc-- cessful business man, who managed his business in that way. But they could not manage a university like a manufacturing or a large indus trial business. When it came to the appointments of the teaching staff they were madso by the Board of Governors from a list supplied by the President, so in reality the President made the ap-- pointments. "I am not criticizing the President," said Mr. Marshall, "bu*t no such power as that should be vested in one man to the ex-- clusion of all the graduates." The sympathy of the graduate body was cut off, and their affection for tht University naturally deadened be-- cause they had no say in its manage-- ment. After naming his suggestions Mr. Marshall said that if the Government was not eatisfied to at once make these changes, then an ing: iry might be made into the condition of things at the University of Toronto and an endeavor made to elicit the facts in regard to the conditions of the whole matter. Balance of Recent Loan-- For Hydro, Says Minister *< Dog Tax Amendment Meets Its Waterloo The bill of W. H. Casseiman, Dun-- das, to amend the Dog Tax and Sheep Protection Act by making it optional for townships to impose taxes on dogs was defeated in second reading yesterday in the Legislature. Hon. Manning Doherty opposed the bill, and it was voted out. R. R. Hall, Parry Sound, moved second reading for a bill to give ggtt»le_r_s_ _tim-ber_ rights on their lands. "I find upon examination that the balance of the loan will go to Hydro," said Hon. Peter Smith yes-- terday in the Legislature, when asked by--H. H.

(4) an annual | MANY FACTORS INCREASE COST F. A. Gaby Tells Committee of _ Chippawa Expenditures and Estimates WILL --PREPARE REPORT F. A. Gaby, Chief Engineer of the Hydro--electric Power Commis--. #sion of Ontario, was on the stand vesterday morning before the Pub-- e Accounts Committee of the Legislature, and was directed to preparoe figures to show what effect certain unforeseen factors he had mentioned had on the cost of the construction of the Chippawa Canal. These unforeseen circumstances in-- cluded surtax and extra duty added for war purposes, and increased freight rates. He also was asked to show just how the increase in the cost of labor and materials, and the supposed decrease in labor efi -- ciency, affected the ultimate cost of the undertaking. The committee will meet again on Wednesday morning. Members Arrive Late. When the committee met yester-- day morning, after the long sitting of the House on the previous day, there were few members present, and those who were there were in & listless mood. In fact, so little was doing that a motion to adjourn was made, but before this was ap-- proved Hon. G. Howard Ferguson made his appearance, and then Mr. Gaby was called. Two Cabinet Ministers, Hon. F. C. Biggs and Hon. Peter Smith, were present, but no obstacle was put in the way of the inquiry, nor was any question raised when Mr. Gaby appeared with the same docu-- ments as he had brought before the committee last FPriday. Practically all the examining of the witness was déone by Mr. Ferguson, and, alto-- gether, the session was quiet and uninterrupted. Mr. Gaby put in his documents, and they are to be marked as ex-- hibits, and are to be the property of the committee. Included in these documents are various reports made by Mr. Johnston, the engineer; cor-- respondence with the Government and the Prime Minister on the Ni-- agara Gdevelopment; the estimates for 1920, 1921, and for this year, and correspondence with the Gov-- e@rnment on these matters. Give Chippawa History. Mr. Ferguson brought out that estimates were worked out in col-- laboration with the leading bydraulic engineers of the conti-- nent. The commission was unable to obtain tenders on the construc-- tion of the work at that time, and Mr. Ferguson's questions took Mr. Gaby over the history of the Chip-- pawa development scheme. He said the 1915 report provided for a plant of 100,000 horsepower, with a gen-- erating maximum of about 200,000 horsepower. The cost estimate for this was about ten and a half mil-- lions. Throughout Mr. Gaby gave only approximate figures. In 1917 a new report was prepared, which provided for a development of about 300,000 horsepower. The estimated cost was about 27 to 29 millions, without any intake, without a lining to the canal, and based on 1916 prices. after consideration it decided to §0 on with the construction of the work with its own staff. Contractors engaged on the Weliand Canal work amd on work of that kind were in-- vited to submit tenders, but the commission could get offers only on a cost--plus basis. Some were as high, said Mr. Gaby, as cost plus 22 per cent. « These offers were made lln writing and Mr. Gaby was asked to produce them to the committee. «4
