Mr. John McDonald has been in the past such an ardent and enthusiastic advocate of C.P.R. connection that it is only natural to ascribe his present opposition to personal disappoint- ment. The “red herring" of munici- pal stock-taking in the period which he has been industriously draggEng across the track, has been so clearly shown up by Mr Thos. Stewart, Mr. Moss-3m Boyd and other speakers, that it can be consigned to the limb,» of exploded constructions. There is absolutely no comparison between the Pomypooi railway project and the Lindsay Waterworks. The Water- works are within the bounds of the municipality of Lindsay; its franchis- es ltverc derived from and are [cutler- ed profitable by the people of Lindsay, who will themselves, by their appoint- ed officers, control and operate the waterworks if they decide to pur- chase. They will not be in partner- ship with anybody else. The railway is an altogether different matter, as anybody can see except Mr. McDon- ald, and he did see’ it six years ago, when he was a director of the com- pany. The province or the Dominion might own and operate the railway, anl if 31;. McDonald is sincere in his present mood, he will advocate railway construction and control along that line. But the first practical man he would meet would tell him that it would be impossible now-a-days to operate satisfactorily and with any profit a small line of fifty miles, ex- cept as part and parcel of a great sysâ€" tem; and. it would be extremely diffi- cult, if not impossible, to get anyone to run and maintain the l’ontypool railway as an independent line. As a branch of the _C. P. R., and. as a part of that system.- it will have very de- cided advantages in every item of rail- way business, and as such it can ‘be made, no doubt, to pay its way on. a year or a 50 year basis. ' McDonald gives some details of the cost of construction, :6 arranged as to add up the 88,000 a. mile for which he now declares the road can be built. Mr. McDonald does not squarely deny that in 1893, when he occupied a pos’- tion of responsibility in connection with the railway, he figured out that it would cost 813.000 :1 mile. Mr. Mc- Donald’s memory is conveniently de- fective as to those estimates, and we fancy it will continue defective. Too many to dog citizen; of L'ndsay and Ops know and. remember well what were his views and statements in the 1893 period. As to his new estimate, many of the items are decidedly susp‘c- ious. Having made up his mind that the line was to be built for $8,000 a mile, Mr McDonald has formed his figures {to suit accordingly. If any of thefigures. as, for instance, rails and labor, become too large, Mr. McDon- ald has scored them down, like George‘ Washington with his little hatchet. It is quite easy to build a railway in that mannerâ€"on paper. The pre- sent directors should invite Mr. Mc- Donald to build the railway at that figure (nay, make it 88,100â€"throw. in a‘hundred dollars a. mile additional), on the penalty of perpetual silence forever after if the contract is not accepted and carried out. But Mr. McDonald’s views or theories need not be the main issue before the people of Lindsay and. Ops on this question. The board of direc- torsâ€"composed of leading and respect- ed citizens of the county-and public men so well-known as Mr. Warden Bryans, Mr. Geo. McIIugh, Mr. Sam. Fox, Dr. Vrooman, Mr. Johnston Ellis, and others, have carefully consider. ed the question in all its bearings, and they cordially recommend the pro- ject to the careful consideration of every qualified elector to think the question outand work it out forhim- seif. Each ratepayer should do this and vote accordingly. . ' deed, we imagine. will be influenced - I ' l a l. owing the the great popularity and demand for the picture, we were only able to sidering carefully by the ratepayers, as the argument if a tenable one will remove a large amount of the opposi- tion which has arisen from the fear that the grain delivery in town .‘would be further reduced. COMM U N ICA TION S. Judge Barron Supports the Bonus. , Stratford, Dec. 27, 1899. My Dear Stew ,â€" If you think my vote is important on the Railway bonus on the 15: pron, “ire br write me. and. I'll. try and get down to record it in. favor. of the bon- us. I want to sell my property and I believe C. P. R. connection will in- crease its value; but if not, the taxes. the road will pay on its property in Lindsay will fully make up and balance the extra rate the ratepayers will have to pay for the connection. This, you will say, is a purely selfish way to look at the matter, and I confess it is. I can assure you, however, that for the sake of Lindsay’s progress alone, apart from all else. I would support your project.â€".'i'ours truly, JOHN A. BARRON. Thus Stewart, esq. ‘ - l':‘.â€"'\\i..u has happened to John .McDonald. His present attitude is a startling surprise to us who know well his former attitude toward the proâ€" ject. Is it true you omitted him from present directorate? “Hoe est opus." â€"J. A. B. ‘ â€".â€"_ Mr. McDonald’s Change of Front. (To the Editor of The Post.) Sinâ€"As several of the ratepayers of Lindsay have been astonished at the surprising change in the attitude of Mr. John McDonald toward the great project of the C. P. R. Railroad, it will be remembered by many that. not until lately no one could be a greater advo- cate for the speedy construction of that road than Mr. John McDonald himself. Time after time he spoke of the vast benefit the proposed C. P. R. would be, not only to Lindsay, but to the surrounding townships. He was then a. director of the road, and it is said that he hoped to be also the contractor for its construction of about $13,000 a mile. “Many of the ratepayers here would :be glad if he were favored with the contract, but as it is now the other way, ought that justify him in opposing the project for which, but a such a short time since, he was so strong an advocate? It is now reported that he says 'the road could be finished for $8,000 per mile. Less than three weeks he told a pre- minent citizen of this town that $9,- 000 was his lowest estimate. Many of Mr. McDonald’s friends will regret that anyone should say or believe that for his own private interest he should oppose what is very generally consid- ered would be a good benefit to the whole community,â€"Yours etc, . VERLTAS. i â€"-+â€" Mr. Stewart Fails to Show Why the Municipalities Should not Own the Railroad. (To the Editor of The Post.) Sinâ€"Allow me to reply to a few. assertions put forth in Mr. Stewart’s letter. First, he intimates that Tom opposed to the C. P. 3-. . .in 189?,Iwent to Ottawa to consult Mr. Gdo. Me,- Hugh, LLP" in order to have the gov- ernment grant and: charter renewed offering at the same timi to pay for its cost. Mr. McHugh thought it not succeed. On my return I went to Mr. Flavelle and explained the situa- tion to him, and the advantage of building the railway at that time, ow- ing to the cheapness of labor and steel. He then wrote Mr. McHugh. asking him to intercede and have the charter revived. Mr. McHugh for- warded the letter to Mr. Blair, Minis- ter of Railways, to which he replied that he might look into the sceheme at some future time. ' In July, 1898, I got Mr. Smyth, who was then m the council, to get resolu- tions passed by the council of Lindsay asking the Dominion government to revive the old charter and government by an Order-in-Council, which he had done ; he also had resolutions pass- ed by five other municipalities. Now, these werethe first and only move: made to revive the charter and govern- ment grant since Mr. Wickham,.(who had a lease of charter assigned to him and two years to commence the con-, struction),failing to float the bonds, allowed them to rum out. I may add also that I went around with a. petition to the council asking them to assist the Board of Trade to arrange with the municipalities for the con- struction of the road. Mr. Stewart. who is now so anxious for, the railway on the bonus system, wasonoof the’ few who refused to sign that petition. Mr. Stewart is tryirg' to helitfle municipal bonds and stock, when . knows periloctly-thst theyu'eas d .. among the metals. ' ' ’ against the project .by It. W’s the town of Lindsay, and Mr. Gen. Mc- Hugh or the rceve of Ops ‘to represent the township of Ops in the directorate. why Fhould they be objected to, and excluded from the board of directors A plain answer is desired. . In reply to Mr. Stewart’s request. asking if 72 lb. steel per yd. would not be required for this road, I may re- for him in Mr Paton, f: T.ll. agent. who will tell him that 5 lb. steel. as per my statement. is the government standard, and which is the iron: used from Midland to Montreal on the G. T. 3., and on the C. I’. R. all cast of lake Superior. My statement is made out at 98 tons to the mile at Rice, Lewis 6:. Sons’ prices. If Mr. Stewart wishes he may see the said letter at any, time. I hope he will make me the same offer in reference to the letter he wrote Pcllat 8: Pellat. to which they wrote such an extraordinary replyâ€"Yours truly, JOHN M'DONALD. â€"__._ Engingcr’s Estimate of Cost of the C. P. R. Connecting Link. (To the Editor of The Post.) Dear Sir,â€"I hand you herewuh for publication the estimate of Mr. A. Brunel. Civil Engineer, of the cost per mile oféconstructioa of the Lindsay. Bobcaygeon I’untypool Railway. It will be observed that he provides for a -'rail at the weight of 56 lbs. per yd , which satisfies the govemment re- quirement, but the railways are us- ing heavier rails. I am informed that the C.P.R. is now. using rails weighing 21b5. per yd.. and that they would in- sist upon having a heavier rail than 56 lbs. on this branch line, which would. materiallv increase the cost per mile. A firm of Ottawa contractors say they look upon the 76 lb. roll as the mini- mum weight.â€"Yours truly, THOS. STEWART. EOBCAYGEON, LINDSAY PACT E‘IC . JUNCTION BAIL‘WAY. Toronto, Oct. 10th, 1899. H. J. Wickham, esq. Dear Sinâ€"According to your instruc- tions I proceeded to Burketon Station, on the line of the Ontario and Quebec Division of the Can. Puc. Riilway, and examined the country between that station and Bobcaygeon by way of Janetvillc, Lindsay and Dunsford. From Burketon to Janetville, 14 miles. the ground is rather broken for the first six or seven miles, be. ing composed of gravel and sand hills. wrth some clay, and a couple of small stream to cross, which have their source near Burketon. The next seven or eight miles, into Janetville, is much. lighter. being mostly in the valley of a small stream running through that village, and the road :bed would be made up from side ditching to a large extent. The ma- terial is easily worked, and there is plenty of good gravel for ballast. The approach to the Can. Fae. Ry. Station at Burketon is very good ; the grade may be rather stiff for a short distance, but not more than the usual limit of 1 foot per 100. The proposed line crosses the coun- try in a diagonal direction, with re- ference to the concession and side roads, which run east and nest, and north and south. From Janetvillc to Lindsay 91-2 miles, the ground is very good, and almost a straight line can be had be. tween those points. From Lindsay to Bobcaygeon, l7 1-3 miles, the ground is slightly rolling, sail clay and gravel on top, with lime- stone rock underlying, but the cutting would be mostly light. and there would not be much if any rock cutting. The streams are small and there would be no bridging of any account until a good sized stream is crossed about 12 miles from Iindsay in a swamp flooded with back water from Sturgeon lake, about 1, ft. wide ; from this pomt to Bobcaygeon the work is easy all the way. The line would enter the Village of Bobcaygeon .(over an arm of the lake, which leads' down to the haw-mills of the Mossom Boyd Lumber Company, and as their tow boats use this waterway it would be necessary to °' would be almost impossible to get capitali3ts to put their money in this tion if outside directors should be pinc- ed on the board. In other words. capitalists who f.nd money to construct the road would not for a moment listen to such a proposition ;" and again," If the municipalities wish to put a serious obstacle. in the way of the financing of the railway, then the course suggested would very likely lead to the withdrawal of capital seek- ing such an investment. Do not the project be hampered by the pro. position you mention ;" and then he asks was I honest in my report to Messrs. Pellatt o‘t Pellatt in calling the residents 0f Lindsay and Ops "mrl- side directors" and says that their whole letter gives .1 Very wrong im- pression through my misrepresenta- tion. Is Mr. McDonald 50 densely stupid or dose he wish to be unfiir.’ l Any school boy upon reading the 130.13. ; quotation from the letter 'of Messrs. i I’ellatt ..I'ellzitt will know by the I words “outside directors" is meant di- I rectors chosen from outside the capit'll- : isle themselves. I Let me quote to Mr. McDonald the ’ l l beginning of Pellatt o‘; Pellnu‘s letter â€"-"you inform us that certain man‘- cip'tlities desirous of aiding in the con- struction of the above railway have suggested that instead of giving cash or debenture bonuses to the railway they shouldtnkc stock in the railway and have representatives on the board of directors :" then follows the first quotation above. Messrs. Pellatt Pollntt‘ moon that if rrtpitulisls put up money to construct the road they wint to elect directors from among them- selves and control it themselves. They. would obj-act to representatives from . the municipalities not at all on account I l l l of the standing of these represent- atives, but because they object to go into partnership with municipalities and have their own private funds in any measure under the control of the municipalities. Like every person else l who invests a large sum of money they want absolute control of it. I am in favor of municipal ownership of franchises composed within the borders of the municipality. such as gas works, elwtric light and water- works, but for the town, township, and villages to go into a joint stock con. cern in the construction of aste-im railway to run in conjunction with a continental system would be. reck- less financing and must lead to disaster. I am prepared to vote a clear bonus of 825,000 to acquire the benefits to be derived from direct commotion with the C. P. B., but I am not prepar- ed to vote double or treble that amount in stock which would be almost worth- less and would in reality mean an ad- I c l ditional bonus. I refer Mr. McDonald to the files of- fl’he Post and Watchman-M'ardecr, where he will find that on the former occasion he was one of the deputation which waited upon the town council. asking them to pass a by-law granting a bonus of 825,000 in aid; of this rail- way. No word of stock there. \Vhy this change of front? The whole trouble with Mr. McDonald is that be has not been allowed to manipulate this project to suit himself, and great a boon as he says the road Would be to Lindsay, he would rather see it for- our defeated than that other men should succeed in conferring this boon upon the townâ€"Yours truly, THOS STEWART. -â€"â€".â€"â€" Mr. Wickhuu Hits Back.
