Mr. GRAHAM:
I think about $185,000 in
one case and $183,000 in the other. That is the net result.

Mr. GRAHAM:
I do not think any arrangement has been made about the other government offices. If it has, I do not know of it. As regards the main floor and the otheT three floors there is no doubt in the world, to my mind-and I am looking into this matter-that a good deal of that can be sublet. For instance, on the main floor, if the agreement goes through-and I am going as far as I can with the particulars of the proposition without laying the contract on the table which I cannot do as it has not been ratified-the Canadian National will have the comer that all hon. gentlemen know facing Yonge and King streets. On the King street side, where the old Home Bank property is, there will be space to sublet. On the Yonge street side there will be space to sublet also, and the Canadian National Railways will have the very centre of the position on the best street corner I think in Toronto. The rental proposed is $3 a square foot for the three floors and $16 a square foot for the ground floor. Taking the whole rental and making fair subdivision for subletting, my officials tell me we will break about even on the rental paid now in our different activities throughout the country. We will pay practically the same amount we are paying now for the old building and the different places around the city.

Mr. GRAHAM:
I will come to that in a
moment. It has been said by my hon. friend -and I know this has been written to me- that the Canadian National Railways are going to take ten or fifteen floors. At the outside the Canadian National will not take more than three floors besides the main floor and they may not take that many. I cannot place the contract and agreement on the table of the House, because it is not completed for the yery reason-and I will state it frankly to the committee-that the measurements given to me, at least, in the first place as to the square feet on each floor were less than the figures now appear to 'be on a revised estimate of the architect. I am having that investigated to see how it can be adjusted. But taking it all into account, I say to my hon. friend again that the proposition includes only the main floor and three others, and that is all the Canadian National is interested in.

Mr. GRAHAM:
I have not studied the details of late, but I had something to do with the matter at one time in connection with the settlement that was made with the strikers on the Grand Trunk. I would have to go into the whole matter before I would feel at all warranted in interfering with the settlement that was made at that time. I will discuss it, however, with the officials of the Canadian National Railway, but I feel I would have to take their advice largely on any step that would be taken outside of the settlement that was made.
