potaton Of specie amounted TO 81 ss3 Durisg the

the aggregate shipment Of specie will be greatly in

This exhibit shows . very satisfactory state Of the

consequence Of which the Inspector General Ia, felt
authorized to reduce the duties imporations

on the st. Lawrence and Chamby canals when these shall
have been paid the WeAnd That officer seems however,
to be aware Of the present critical state Of the province

daand appears disposed to check farther railroad
ation based upon credit which at present il rife In
that province.
The revenue derived from the canals it appears by
means meets the annual interest tho amount which
has been expended In their construction. The Weand
canal for instance cost So 1884, the net tolls
which last year amounted only to Sl73 $50. The st.
Lawrence canals cost $780, the tolls on which we're
$4,000 The Burlington Bay canal 1t the head Of Lake
Ontario Hamilton cost s277 612 and the tolls
$l4 o4o and the Chambly canal they did not meet
the expense Of collection and repairs, amounting 70
So Hottie tolls being 4s0 The fetal cost Of these
canals, when completed $1 26s 056 the interest
which, at ak per cent would be se7 49, while the total
amount Of tolls in 1852 but 1921 800. They are i'm
portant provincial undertakings, however, and will
doubtless eventually be productive.
In consequence Of the Large expenditure for these and
other public works the debt Of the province at the
present moment sls 49, BESIDES which there have
been debentures issued for loans and advances for
which the government is liable, amounting to
49, 600 Geo. making In tho whole So 1856 443. The bal.
NJ ndinO he
ta.sd is s34 o05. This debt will be materially increased
by the law authorizing the payment Of $l2 900 per mile
for railroads. which probably will require the farther
issue Of debenturss to the extent Of 000 thus
adding nearly to the amount Of interest which
must annually be met, for which the province viii be
fully prepared should reverse happen such az ID
anticipated.
is to BIO remarked, in conclusion, that public works
in Canada chiefly undertaken by the government
municipal corporations and to very limited sx.eat
the esutof private enterprise ths consequence is thai
there is large amount Of local Indebtedness, these
bodies having issued debenuIes which probably may b
estimated at two three millions of dollars the interest
Of which must be provided for by local Axson and for
which the government may be considered indirectly
responsible these liabilities having been incurred under
the direct sanction of the Provincial legislature
