Attempts
by
British
Columbia
counsel
to
batter
down
C.P.R.
testimony
occupied
most
of
Tuesday's
session
of
the
Board
of
Transport
commissioners.
C.
W.
Brazierm,
assistant
Attorney-General,
hammered
at
C.P.R.
cost
figures
which
they
presented
to
justify
mountain
rates
in
hauls
over
the
Rockies.
He
charged
that
some
of
the
railway
calculations'
were
"unsound,"
that
there
were
"flaws"
In
the
statistics
and
that
some
had
been
expressed
unfairly.
He
particularly
assailed
the
contention
that
the
railway
spends
$9,000,000
more
in
a
year
in
the
mountains
than
on
the
'
1
prairies.
On
the
same
methods
of
calculation,
Brazier
said
the
C.P.R.
spent
$3,700,000
more
in
New
Brunswick
than
in
B.C.,
$9,000,-000
more
in

and
the

$40,000,000
more
