Thus the railway debt is not an inheritance of the government railways from the days when private interests were building railways and leaning on the Government for support. The last major acquisition of the Government was in 19121. Per capita railway debt then was $151.85. There was an enormous increase in the next two years to $224.90, and a steady increase to $261 per capita at the end of 1936. In 1921, the year that the Grand Trunk was taken over by the Government, Canada bad a population of 8,788,483 persons. In 1936, the population of the country was estimated at 1(1,028,000. Thus the railway debt of the Drimiinion Government grew 113 per cent, in a -period when the population was increasing only 26 per Requests for tenders for garbage collection in Port Hope drew figures ranging from $1,900 to $4,000 for a year.
