Mr. LEGER:

This item being very

large, I should like to have some information in reference to the St. John harbour improvements.

Mr. LEGER:

I do not see that very much saving is effected, because they have the same staff at St. John, and the travelling expenses to any part of New Brunswick coast line will be heavy. I think there

will be a good deal more loss of time if they are all centralized in one office.

Mr. LEGER:

The minister said that this work commenced year's ago. Has he any advice from the engineer as to when this work will be completed? Millions and millions of dollars have been expended there, and so far I do not know of any work that is nearly completed.

Mr. xvlcCURDY: I will give my hon. friend information as to the amount that has been paid out in connection with Courtenay bay and the present state of the work. The work is, however, still far from completion.

Mr. LEGER:

Has the travelling inspector for the district of Chatham been dismissed or is he still in office?

Mr. LEGER:

What is the name of the owner of rented building?
