which will reflect upon the construe-
tion of the Transcontinental railway
under the Laurier administration, Will
pay for services during the first two
years as salaries $65,5 allow for
travelling and other expenses #$11_-
884.96, and provide a4 private car,
porters, etc., at a cost of $17,500; in

Some such advertisement as
this would about sum up the
position of the Borden govern-
ment with respect to the re-
port of the Transcontinental
investigating commission, The
commissioners, Messrs, Gute-
lius and Lynch-Staunton,
were appointed on February
44, 1912, at a salary of $65
per day each and expenses. By
a return brought down in the
house of commons <+a_ short
time ago the government stat-
ed that for this report they
had paid to Mr. F. P. Gutelius
$27,465.48, and to Mr. Lynch-
Staunton $24,038.01, and for
other expenses $11,884.96. By
referring to the government
reports it will be seen that Mr.
Gutelius has also drawn since
the first of May last, at which
date he was appointed mana-
ger of the I. C. R., a salary at
the rate of $20,000 a year, or
to the middle of February, at
which time the return above
referred to was made, $14,-
999.74. Thus for pay and
salary allowance alone he has
drawn in two years no less
than $42,465.42. Mr. Gutelius
was also provided with a pri-
vate car which cost the goy-
ernment $17,500

would be compelled to pay in-

their advantage to see that
the road was built as econ-
omically as was consistent
with high class work. Their
engineers therefore put in a
bid on every contract in order
to know that the prices were
reasonable, and in no case did
