OTTAWA, Oct 2S, 1875
The government has considered the request of the
Manitoba delegates for better terms and has
decision the subject The expenditure of the local
government is 500, 900 per annum On examina-
lion, the government is OF opinion that this amount
should be reduced 500 ooo by the abolition of the
Upper Chamber, a reduction of printing and the
tament of other unnecessary expenses. When
this retrenchment has been made, and the
government is satisfied that there has been
bond fde reform, the subsidy will be in
creased from its present amount to 100000
which, IL is calculated, will be ample to meet
the properly reduced legislative expenses and leave
good margin for education and public improvements
Financial assistance is entirely dependent the rcduc

will be examined by Hon. Mr.. Burpee, the Master Of
