June 3, 1921 (13th Parliament, 5th Session)

Mr. LEGER:

I saw by the report of the Auditor General that he gets a regular salary, but of course I take the Minister's word that he is only a part-time servant. From last year's report of the Auditor General I extracted the following:
John Sheridan, Indian Commissioner, salary, $800; traveling expenses, $255.35; rent, $50; 12$ cords of wood, $80.75 ; postage, $21.40; printing, $4.75; small items, $5.54: Total $1,217.70.
I was under the impression that this man was receiving a regular salary; at any rate, he used to. As regards the items mentioned in this statement, he lives in his own house, and the twelve and a half cords of wood would be used in his own home. The postage, I suppose, is all right, but the other expenses are extras.
