Stove-on m M In thohousoof commousoutholsthiust. in committee of supply the following debate, (from the oflclsl report), took place on the item:â€" TroutCaual oflockaudlm- provomoutofns botwsm ukodold dud Bahamian» 000. Mr. Ransomâ€"I do not intend this even- ing to take up the timooftho house by discussing this at great length, but on a future occasion, 1 hope this Moo. we may devote thrcecrfour hours atlas» to l discussing the merits and demerits of this canal. I no the hon. member for West Peterbcro (Mr. Stevenson) and the hon. member for But Poterhorc (Mr. Bumham) in their costs. and I would ask them. and now ask them. touoto the fool and tell their constituents when they go book that it has been announced tonight by the acting minister of railways and callus that the government luteud. at a cost of four or five millions. to build a canal ou the h north side of the St. Lawrence river when there is already one on the south side which is still apparently available for the some object, and yet they will not put a dollar in the estimates for the construction of the Trent Valley canal. I particularly call the attention of the hon. members for East and West Potorboro and of the hon. member for East Northumborloud (Mr. Cochrane) and of the hon. member for South Victoria (Mr. Fairbalrn) to the foot that the government are entering upon the work on the St. Lawrence to which I have referred and will not vote a solitary cent for the Trent Valley canal, that work which has been time and time again promisedâ€"it is true just before a general electionâ€"to the people in the mldland district of the province of Ontario. But I do not propose tonight to discuss this matter at any length. I want to draw the attention of the government to the fact that for five successive sessions I have pointed out that at Fonelou Falls, north of the lock, the bridge remains as it always has done. I ask the minister now what is going to be done about it. There is a lock at Fenolon Falls which has cost between $250,000 and $300,000. It fsa very excellent lock, it is true. Good work was done there. A lockmaster was employed year after year, and the receipts last year wore just $35.60, and the reason for that has been that for all these years since that look was built a bridge has been left across tho river at one end of the look, absolutely preventing any navigation whatsoever through that lock. The government can- not plead iguorauco of the matter. They cannot even say they have not received information from other quartors than their own engineers, because time and time again has their attention been brought to the fact that that bridge remains there and renders the lock impassable for craft of any kind except row boats. The govorn- meat engineer, in his last report, says, speaking of Pension Falls: bridge there as it always has been, or are you going to have something done to bene- fit the people by making use of the lock and the canal which you have built there at the enormous expense of between $250,000 or $300,000? Now, I understand that the government are anxious todo somethln to make that water navigable, to make c lock beneficial to the people so as to enable them to go up and down from one lock to another. But they are cheese- paring about this business; they are willing to give something to the Grand Trunk railway, and lot the Grand Trunk put in a swing bridge. I tell the government there is no use talking about a swing bridge. A swing bridgochoro would not be safe, it would be impossible by reason of the cur- rents of the river. But they must make some arrangement with the Grand Trunk by which that bridge is removed entirely and the railway is put south of the lock where the banks on either side of the river are high enough to enable vessels to go underneath a railway bridge. Now, there ‘may be a question of law involved in this matter, and I wish the minister of Justice were here to discuss it. But It seems to me that where there is a non-navigable river made navigable by the government, the government then might require, by law, that any obstruction should be re- moved; but that the government has to be at an expense of removing the obs motion in this case at an expense 'of $50,000 or $60,000 I cannot understand. I underotaud this proposition is perfectly sound and good low, and I say that the government to-day cannot escape liability for the removal of the obstruction. But to go and say they will give the Grand Trunk some 310,000 or $15,000 to put in a swing bridge, will not answer the purpose, because a swing bridge will be unavailable, and besides, will be always dangerous, and I under- stand the Gruud Trunk very properly refuse to put in a swing brl Now, I want to draw the attention of o minister again to the fact that they have been pay- ing a lockmastor several years a salary 8250 or $300. and the receipts last your were only $35 60. Now, the fact of allowing those receipts to base small is militating against the reputation of the route, because people do not understand that the reason why the receipts are so smdil is that tho route is made impassable by reason of this bridge. I would, therefore, like the minister to say what is the intention of the government in regard to that bridge. I would like him to say if it is thsfnleu- tion of the government to make any arrangement with the Grand Trunk at ones, because he will remember that every match this matter has boon brought to his attention, and the same timeâ€"worn promlsohas been made that they would see about it. But that has been going on for five years now. 'and we are just where we began. Surely the minister must see how unwise and vicious the government's policy faâ€"to to the enormous expense of cuttings ock thorc,lmvlngthooutiro system of navigation on a long line, of inter-nil waters interfered with and abso- lutely destroyed by reason of New, their own reportyoaraftcryoarhas told them thatthsrearovossolsfntbo 2:?“ “a. “""l: m m: I use a s or on; but I to mothohou. member tor clot-lulu.

Is the hon. gmtlomau prepared togo tohls oonsfltumnorlsho pared to go into East and West 1:.on and tell the electorsâ€"because they are reason- able men, they no men of common senseâ€" that we should spend no less a sum than 15,000,000 in the outermost of tho ouand canal, when we are about to ex pond some $3,000,000 on the Soult Ste.

I do not know whether the hon. gentleman thinks this house is so stupid as not to understand the absurdity of the position that he has laid bofcro us. The host. gentleman says that this canal to which he has referred, and in which holsaolgmlny interested, will cost four or five on dollars, orasum equal tothatwo are expanding on the enlargement of the Boauharuofs canal, or the construction of anewcanalen the north shore. The proposition that is before the country in regard to the completion of the Trent Valley canal Is to obtain a depth of water from Georgian bay to bay of Quinta of 5} feet. What are the facts in connection with the estimates, apart altogether from the “merits of I’tmfs schloénel The :33 n omen says go g to cost our or five millions. I have before me Mr. Page's estimates for works not got commenced, and it is $9,984,610 for a vo foot and a-half canal on the route to which I have referred. Mr. Rubldgo estimates it at $8,804,500. I could give, if it were deemed advisable, the estimated ccst'of the different sections with which tho hon. gentleman is perhaps as well acquainted as Iain; butlf woaro toodopt thothoory mentioned by tho hon. member for Oxford, theso estimates may vs a in way below the actual cost. owovor, I c not intend to enter into a full discussion of the question tonight, and I would not have said sol much had not the hon. gentleman attempted to make some poll- tic-l points out of it, rather than argue the merits of the work itself. The only practical point to which be called attontlcu was that of the lock and that of the bridge. I admit frankly that there has been a great deal of delay, and I may say unneces- sary delay, in accomplishing the object which he- and those intereswd have in view, and that is in having a bridge. whether a swing bridge or not. or the Grand Trunk should change its line and cross the river at another point to be determined hereafter. But I can assure the hon. gentleman during tho short time I have been in charge of the department I have taken active measures in connection with this bridge to insist on the Grand Trunk railway doing that which we believe the law compels them to do. and which they deny their liability to do. That work will be completed at as early a day as pos- alble. If there is anything new to make the locks available for 3h. purpose for which they were constnt' .tod, this item in the estimates will be qr as sufficient to accomplish the object wo ave in view. Of course I defer to tho supot'm: knowledge and engineering skill of the hon. member for North Victoria (Mr. Barron) who shakos his head. if he would confine himself to shaking thatintslloctual head and not using his tor goo, the house would be con- vinced of the very great wisdom it contains. But the onglncor whose dutylt fete inform ministers on this qusottoutolls ms, and no one knows better than the engine" who is of on my left, that this sum isamplo to accomplish what the hon. gentleman has in view, that the‘bridgs,'lf we are to construct it, will bo made available and some of the boulders and obstructions which now exist in than ”House! the rtverandlako at present navigablo removed. to have a tilt We will be qulto proposed with the hon. gentleman If he desires it on some future occasion, but let usdfscuos this question on its merits apart from political advantages to be derived from it.

I autumn: that the hon. gentleman does not know ow much has been spent. Mr. Bowuu-I stated it was for works not already commenced.

Now, sir. we know.too. that these look. have been very excessively built. Year after you the ocvorumont have been promising that this Trout Valley canal should be bullt, and quite lately they shieldcdthsmrolvsa behind a commission; they wanted to have delay take place. in order that thov might excuse themselves to the people to whom they were making promises that this canal should be built. andso they had a committee appoint- od to investigate the matter. That com- mission ropcrted in reference to the locks as follows: "The attention of the commissioners has been called to tho width of the looks at present com- loted. There are twelve of those. 131 feet long by 83 wide. For modern locks this width is v great in proportion to the length.

Thou regarding the class of work which the commissioners suggest should not. be so good as it has been, there would bsasavlng We find thorofcro that according to the commissioners appointed by the government to investigate this Trout Valley canal. there would be a s it § iE saving in all of $3,424,000, thus reducing m . bid o's figures to $4,125,100, instead Mt Bu 8 odd dollars which the minister would like this house to believe would be the cost of the work already to be construe . It is a very curious coincident. and I would ask the house to notice ft, that the reduction of Mr. Rubldgo’s figures by reason of carrying out the proposition made by the commissioners, would make the ultimate cost of the canal 84.120000. and I would ask the minister to note the fact that those figures almost correspond with the estimate of Mr. Starko,anothor engineer. When the minister told us that this canal was going to cost $8,000,000 odd on Mr. Rubidgo’s estimate, why did he not tell us that Mr. Starks, another ouglnoor. had estimated that the cost would be $3,200,000 to complete the canal. I would ask the minister to note that if the changes sug- gested by the commissioners in their report were, adopted Mr. Starko's figures would almost corrospoud with the reduced figures of Mr. Rubldgo. if the suggestions made by the commissioners were carried out. The minister undertakes to lecture mo me for sho some anger, as I think he called it. regard to this matter, and he at- tributes to me that I cannot discuss any question of this kind without showing political motivéa. I ink the minister has already boon told to lght that there are others in this house who can show political motives. The hon. member who sits beside me, (Mr. Scriver), told the minister himself a few moments ago, that possibly the government might be desirous of build- ing the Boauharnols canal on the north side of the river St. St. Lawrence, for and from politichl motives. 1 do not say that is so. but in the meanwhile. the hon. minister ought to be careful in charging mo vith political motives. If political mctk‘c‘ have been shown by anybody in this house, I think I can say they have beon shown by the gentlemen occupying the treasury benches, because the very moment that I become member f<r North Victoria the work on the Trent Valley canal. so far as progressive work is concerned, ceased all through my riding, and from that time to the present not a dollar has been spent. because the people of North Victoriaâ€"if I am to attribute polltloal motivesâ€"returned an opponent of the government. Although all the facts show that political motives have been characteristic of has. gentlemen on the other side of the house, yet because, anxious as I am for tho cousmotlou of the canal, I show some warmth at tho unneces- sary delay which the minister himself admits has taken place, he arises in his soataud accuses mo of political motives.

And at. when I tell 0 vsrumont that th are I0 shot the people have go's deceived broken. right and left. the so minister gets up and lectures me for wing some little warmth, because he is my senior in age. I say I am justldod in ohowluu some warmth on this omofloo, because the whole history of the mount has been one of deception“ broken meals“. of broken faith wl the peopleâ€"promising year after car before the elections that the canal wou be built. but their nominees soon as the on is over. daboutthooamo to expel amount of men that would build the Trent Valley can in order to construt a usual on the north side of the St. Lawrence. when there is already one on the south side of the river. Therefore I have a right to show some warmth. and any hon. gentle- man would do the some thing if he found that his people had been deco vod and the public money wasted; and I hurl back tho fnslnuatlou made b the hon. minister of railways and that I have shown undue warmth and seal, or that I have been actuated by improper motlvos in this matter. Mr. Bowmanâ€"After that magnificent speech, would the hon. gentleman say whether I correctly understood him to say that some $4,000,“ had been spent. and that the original estimate of II. Rubldge was $8 635,000? _ Mr. Smashâ€"I mo that it was sacs... 000, and that there had been expended already 81.100010, leaving 87,585,“ of Mr. Bubldgo’s ostimato. Mr. BowuLLâ€"Wlll the hon. gentleman kindly soy whore he got those estimates? Mr. Ransom-They were furnished by an engineer, James N. Irvine, who takes them from Mr. Rubidgo’s report dated November 15th, 1887. Mr. Bowmâ€"I may tell the hon. gentle- man that those figures, like his spot-ch, are incorrect. The expenditure up to Doccm- ber. 1890, was $750,467 98. glad the hon. Mr. Bantamâ€"l am member for North Victoria has taken this particular project under his wing, and is giving it his assistance. I am not certain from the toner of his remarks whether he is taking this interest in the subject on account of political advantage that may accrusto him and his party. or on other undo. At- all events this particular work is one of considerable interest to the constituency which I represent, and to which the hos. mombor from North Victoria has referred on several occasions. The hon. gentleman has referred to the attitude of myself, and the hon. member for West Potorboro (Mr. Stevenson) in this matter. Now. I do not propose to find any fault with the government because they propose to expend between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000 for a canal on the north side of the St. Lawrence river, because I consider that that work is necessary if we are going to have the Trent Valley canal. The com- merce that would me down the Trent Valley canal must necessarily use the 8:. Lawrence canals; and if the whole system is to be carried out we who are interested in the Trent Valley canal are tly satisfied with that expenditure. under- stood tho hon. member for North Victoria to state that he gave mo notice that he would bring this matter up, and it appears that now he has had all the discussion he proposostohavo on the question. Snork- ing of the cost of tho coon, ho voters to Mr. Rubidgo's estimate of about 88,”,000, and I think the hon. gentleman is right in saying that the work can be constructed for a very much less sum, because the works now constructed are stated by the commissioners in their reports to be unnec- essarily expensive. There could probably be saved 32.000000. That I understand is what the non. member for North Victoria refers to when he speaks of the saving that could be cfi'ectod on the estimate made by the engineer. Now, I do not propose to go into a dfrcuoolou of the merits of this canal. I understand that we shall have an opportunity on a future occasion to discuss tho question in this honor; but I must say that we feel that the government have pledged themaolvoe to the construction of this work. Its merits may not be generally known to the members of this house, and I hope we shall have an opportunity again to bring the subject more fully before the house. At all events the telegram that was read by the hon. member for Victoria. I think. stated the position in which the government stands with regard to this work. The government appointed a com- mission to examine fdto the caution. and the hou. member for North lctorla says they shielded themselves behind the com- mlasfon. Now that is not a curred stato- mont of the facts. because what the verumoutdfd wasthls: There woreoomo oubts as to whether there was sufficient water supply to carry on this work, and the government rofisrrod that matter. as walla-all other matters in regard to the , to three gontlomon. two of whom, at all events, they considered disinterested. Those were Mr. Kennedy, the harbour engines of Montreal. and Mr. Turner, the engineer of Toronto.

According to the report of the commission, the canal can be built much cheaper than the engineers reported.
