MONTREAL, June2.-The government in
quiry into the building of the two iron
bridges across the Lachine canal. at Mont
real. is unearthing one of the biggest pub
lic works scandals ever discovered In Can.
ada. The original sum voted for the two
bridges was S175, 200. but the work has al
ready cost s6OO.OOO and is not completed.
Emanuel ST. Louis, French contractor.
had q contract with the government
to supply all the men and teams
needed at q stated figure He got
them at W whatever price he could and made
80 cents per day each out Of the men and
from 81 to 81. so each Sut of the teams He
engaged all the men and teams on the work
that be cOuld secure. and at one time there
were /. 200 men employ ed, packed so close
together that they could not swing pick.
In one yard q gang of fifty men used to loaf
all day long. and In the evening the gov
ernment timekeeper would come around
and take their time. Stone were hauled
by teams owned By member of the
provincial legislature. IL was carried
twenty miles from the quarry to the
works at the rate of one load O day
and this with q railroad running right into
the mouth of the quarry. stone that
should have cost only IS per cubic yard to
trim actually cost $50 per yard. In many
instances il took ten men TO load O single
team with lumber Thousands of dollars
worth of tools and material were purchased
for the work that were never used. The
value of the worthless plant left over. not
about 5000. There are heavy liq-
nor bills, and tales of expen-
sive champagne supplies, In which the
canal officials figured. On one contract
for $4,000 worth of lumber 100000 was
charged by the contractor and the extra
lumber cannot be found. Government
carts carried away lumber to back yards of
canal employ es and government employees
cut. split and piled this lumber. all the
time being on the pay list of the canal
When the expense account for repairs be-
came too high. the Itema were charged to
capital account and men who could not

counts. The government dd not have
any idea, till lately, of what was going on.

The brusque and fussy impulse of these
days of false impression would rate down all
all worthless because one is unworthy. As
if there were no notes in sunbeams! Or COM
cts among stars! Or cataracts in peaceful
rivers! Because one remedy processes to do
what it never adapted to do, all RENE
dies worthless? Because one doctor lets his
patient die, are all humbugs? 1t requires a
fine eye and finer brain to discriminate, to
draw the differentia1 line.
