Punching d road stoek. sI5.000.

Mr.. Wilder moved to defer this item and
refer all the petitions on roads, &c., to special
committee, after their report this item to be
considered. Carried.
Government surveying, 81 500.
Mr.. Lyons amended to 5000.
Item passed at 5000.
Interpreting and translating, 81 geo.
Royal Palace, $50 600.
Mr.. Hitchcock amended to 5000. He
was in favor of apprapriating 5000 even
tually, but not in the coming two years.
On explanation by the Minister of the Int
rior, Mr.. II. withdrew his amendment.
Royal Mausoleum, SO 900.
Keeper Of royal mausoleam, $500.
New government Offices, $4,000
Mr.. Wilder thought that 1000 would be
enough All that was needed was a safe place
for keeping the public documents. He thought
this amount would suffice to build fre-proof
addition to the present Offices, or an entire-
new building. therefore he amended to 81 900.
His Elk. c. de Vsrigny said that he would
not advice any one to walk upon the verandah
of his Office, for it was unsafe. 1t was pro-
posed to locate the Offices in the present palace
after repairing the same.
Mr.. c. II. Judd amended the item to $1,000,
saying that two hre-proof safes would insure
all the public documents against FIRE. It
would be as well to leave the building Of new
or the repair of the old government Offices to
a future Legislature. He would insert l" new
safes for government Offices, 81, 200.
His Elk. F. W. Hutchinson said that he in
troduced the item because he thought it neess-
sary that the COVERING should own their
Offices. An item of S40, 900 for the same pur-
pose was withdrawn at the last session because
it was thought that there would not be money
enough, but at the end of the period large
surplus was in the treasury. However as il
was of not much Importance, the Ministry
would withdraw the item.
Mr.. Judd's motion was passed.
New Post Office, $1,000.
Mr.. Wilder approved Of the item, as 81 900
was paid for rent of the present office, he
wanted to know where the Office would be.
His Ex. +. W. Hutchinson said that he pro-
posed to build new Office where the govern
ment printing office now stood, that building
was mostly in ruins and was unfit and unsafe
1t would be two stories high, the lower part to
be devoted wholly to Post Office. and the
upper part to various Offices. He had plans
now at the Interior Department.
Mr.. Wilder proceeded, that he was opposed
to mixing up those things as they were at
present.
Mr.. Lyons said that he should oppose hav-
ing any printing Office in the upper part, but
thought it was excellent idea to have other
Offices, tax collectors, assessors, &c.
Mr.. G. ii. Judd moved to strife out the
item, he thought that the whole lower floor of
the building now occupied by the Post Office
could be procured.
Mr.. Rhodes supported the item as in the
bill. He was strongly in favor Of having a
building owned by the government.
Mr.. A. I. Judd moved to defer considera-
ton until Wednesday. He thought that the
government library should be in the new
building, but he wanted time for consideration. |
His Elk. G. de Varigny said that they could |
repair the present printing office, and build the |
Post Office on beyond.
His Elk. f. W. Hutchinson said that the Min |
lister of Foreign Affairs had misunderstood |
him the old printing Office would be removed. |
Mr.. Lyons said that. unless it was under
stood that no printing Office should be in the
upper story he should vote against the item.
His Elk. Z. W. Hntehison said that if the
House voted the money, the executive would
build but to what offices the interior should be
devoted was not the concern of the people.
Mr.. Lyons said that the public had right
to know what was done with the public build
ings, and he should insist upon that right.
Mr.. Boyd supported the original item He
thought that it was necessary. As for the
printing business, it seemed to be thing that
some could not swallow. He did not see
the harm of having the Government Printing
Il
Mr.. Bishop thought the location for the new
Office was good one. He did not believe in
renting old house belonging TO some one
else. 1t would be a mistake to put up a fine
new house beside the old tumble down house
at present used a printing office. A Post
Office in this country should have a good broad
verandah. If the old thing was ieft and
new building put up, the corner would be very
unsightly. He would advise building that

but other Offices.
Mr.. Lyons asked if Mr.. Bishop was in favor
of building new printing Office for the Gov
Mr.. Bishop answered, not at present.
Mr.. Lyons proceeded that be thought that
an understanding should be come to upon that
point. He thought the intention was to cover
up that point and force in printing Office. He
would not vote a cent; that he did not know
where it was to be expended.
sAlr. c. II. Judd asked if the ground and
building now used as a Post Office belonged
to the Government?
On being informed that il was Crown pro-
perty, he withdrew his motion.
Mr.. Lyons moved to indefinitely postpone,
which was lost.
