It is important to beer in mind that under this pin, the road would not cost the municipalides my more than ‘under the beans system, and would have the advantage as stated above, that the municipalities would own the mud with to the addltlon of interest; whereas I would advise the 343,5!) to be taken in stock now on the put of Lindsay. I! this Were done, at the end of thirty year: they would have this amount of property m the railway as owners ; whereas in giv- ing a bonus. the money would be paid nnd they would have nothing for it. They would not own ltâ€"would here no any In it, good, bad or indifferent. Further the town of Lindsay, under the plan I mean, wonid derivenn income from themdoutot the 40 or 45 per cent. ro- tnrned from the C.R.P. from the gross earnings. I would suggest that stock be taken as follows to build the first portion from Lindsay to Burketon : Lindsay ................ 8-13 500 Ops ..................... 27 (I!) E. Mariposa. ............ 15 000 Monvers. ................ 15 (I!) Cartwright .............. 7 000 an nndebtedness of only $17.3!) on it, besides i the percentage recechd from the C.P.R. 1 would pay off all the intereet on the debt of 1 $107,500 stock. This is not all. The pro-3 orntsge accruing on the gross earnlmrs1 would also pay of s good deal of the principal itself in thirty years. ' It is all very well for the present direc- tors to profess that they have no per- sonal interest in prospect in pro mating bonuses tor this road, but it .s well-known in the history of rail- roads that those builttnnder this system have been made asource of very large profits for the promoters. Mr. Stewart re- marked at Tutsdsy night's meeting thst I was s “sore head” and thst was why I advocated stock-taking by municipalities In reply to Mr. Smythe he said “Why wee not this argument heard of before i" I may inform Mr. Stewart that I went personally to Mr. Ray, then Meyer of the town, and Mr. Kylie first reeve. and in- sisted upon their demanding stock instead of giving a bonus. Then as now there were men connected with the company who would not consent to the proposition. [then went even so far as to one: to sub- mit the question to Sir Wm. Van Horn who was the best authority in the Domin- ion as to which plan would prove the roost Quench! r {0 tin railway; stock “has by the municipalities or bonuses. but to this offer they would not, consent. Thu-.0 fees were before Mr. Stewart. as me Mr. Smythe’e explanation of my advleing him to getreeoluxiona passed in the coun- cil in July 1898, asking the Dominion gov- ernment to revive the charter and govern- | ment grant by an order in council. For g ther I wish him to understand that I am in favor or setting the radroad, but went to get it into this town under as tnvornhle terms as possible. The history or rail- roads built in this cmnty on the bonus system bears a bed record. Mr. Stewart at the same meeting. also tells the p 0 ple of Lindsay that they should own their own waterworks, their own lightinc. and the Dominion government ehould own the railroads. If his muments were cor. rect in any of three enterprises numcd. 4hen surely it must b- to the intereetot the people of Lindsay to own their own railroad, but he forbot to tell his audience that the people Were the government aid the men at Ottawa only their oer ‘ wants. The upeaker wished to impress iupon the peOpie that the municipaities could not build. or operate the road. The present company do not intend to operate it. The by-inw tella us that the C.P.R in tend to operate it, end they ‘the company) will take the percentage. It requires five directors to form a railroad oompnny. It all the municipalities took stock surely Lindsay oon!d furnish one director, also one, Maripoea, Mnnvers, and Bobesvgeon me each, and it more were required. give Ve-Fubm and Cartwright one.

Now I an quite certain that there are no such conditions nttnched to the grant; and the remarks made about the Guelph and other railroads were made upon the same princlple. There ere the plain facts of the situa- tion and the people are lnmlllgent enough tojudge for themselves. Pay no atten- tion to 1!] sheets. or dodsrere. They are responsible to no one, neither be alarmed about the government mot not being re- newed.
