PREMIER FARQU- HARSON’S LETTER.

Tue letter of Hon Donald Farquharson, published elsewhere in to-day’s issue must prove a bitter pill to his associates in the cabinet, all of whom were members of the Warburton administration which kt the college contract privately iu accorc= ance. with Le May’s plac. The letter shows the loose manner in which the matter wae disposed of by,the Government, and no excuse whatever isoffered. How- ever, the squabble is one which the mem- bers of the Government must settle be-

tween themselves.

The premier eays the building is now being constructed along lines proposed by Mr.Chappell. Butio reality Mr. Chappeil’s old plan was adopted, after it had been changed by substituting class rooms for the principal’s apartmente, Under Mr, Chappell’s plan before it was changed, we understand, the preerent contractors offered to build the college for $19,000. The change that bas been made in the plan lee— sens the cost of erection, but tbe contract price is still $28,000. The premier has nothing to say upon this peint. The matter is one that certainly calls for some ex- planation.

GREAT BRITAIN’S EXPECTATION

Tue St James Gazette, one of the most prominent journals in London, recently contained an article that is fall of signifi- ance to Cavadians. The Gazette thinks that none of its readers need be told how intimately the future of the Ewpire is bound up with the progress and prosperity of Canada. We, it adds, look to ber no; only to breed loyal sons and daughters of the blod, but to form an ever-growing market for our manufactures, and in re turn to become our great eource of food supply beyond the seas. It isa matter of mutual advantage. The more she can produce and the more we buy from*‘hber, the more she will be able to buy from us in return, proceeds the Gazette. Her capa- city for production is virtually unlimited. The gold rush, which bas recently turned atiention to the Dominion in sucha dra- matic fashion, is merely an episode in its history though one that will have an im- portant influence in attracting the men and money that are needed to develop the resources Of the country. These are to be found in its soil, which is capa- ble of producing sil the staple foodstuffs that we need in abundance. At present a mere beginning has been made. Aglance at the map will shew that thecultivated land is just @ narrow strip running from east to west. The amount of room that éti.} rc» mains for expansion runs into figures which can hardly be realized by those who are accustomed to the cramped limits and little distances of the Old World. The future of Canada, the Gazette remarks in conclusion, lies chiefly in the develop- ment of these magnificent ‘agricultura) resources, and it should be a matter of the greatest interest to us to know what is be- ing done in this direction. By an intelli- gent appreciation of Canadian effort, and by spreading infcrmation with regard to its aime and results, we can all do gome- thing to sesist on this side of the waier,

LETTER FROM HON. D. FARQU-| HARSON. Sir,—I am decidedly opposed to appear- ing in print, bat as you seem to be under a wisapprebension in reference to the Prince of Wales College contract 1 desire that the public should know the facte as they stand to-day. After Mr. Warburton had retired and the present goveroment was installed we fouad a contract of this college let to McDon- ali & Schurman for $28,000. The cou- tract did not include seating or heating, neither did it include waiuscoating or cetl- ingsin any part ofthe building. There was no assembly hall, something that is considered almost @ necessity in suc) an institution, nelther was there any cloak cr cap rooms on the first floor. The roof was covered with thingles and all outside finigh. of wood. The contract price as I said was $28,000. In looking over this planit could be plainly seen that from the peculiar con- struction of the building, whilst of no advantage tothe public was such as to make it cost unnecessarily more money than would amore compact structure, The archicect, Mr, LeMay, explained by saying bie fist plan Lad ao assembly hall attached, that 18 p ans were made in view of the nall being there, but as that plan would cost about $36,000 the hall wae done away with. Hence the plan was not what he would hve made it, if no hall bud been asked iorio the first place. Thie wasa fair and honest explanation, and fuily justifies Mr. LeMay’s position. The Government, therefore, suggested to the contractors the propriety of changing the plan On hines proposed by Mr Chappel! —not Mr Chaspell’s old plans as you asserted— but changes entirely new to meet the circumstances. We coniended that by Mr. Chappell’s changed plan the con- tractors could stave in stone, brick and labor avery large amount, and that we would have a larger building with an assembly ball, besides cloak and cap rooms. We also suggested using brick 10 the basement wall ‘to the firet floor, instead of stone, thus saving $1,500 more, besides several other changes. These, we contended should save to them $5,000, which they stould deduct from the price of their contract.

After some negotiations the contractors agreed 10 allow $4000 off their contract in view of the change, as above, which the government finally accepted.

The Gcveroment therefore made a clear saving of $4000, and had as they consider- ed a more tcommodious building but had brick in barement wall instead of stone. The coptfactors also saved a certain amount in making class sooms of the pro~ fessur’s apartments.

After this was couociuded the matter of slate instead of shingles, of iron eves, spouts, conductors and cupulo instead of wood, of stone eteps and concrete floors instead of wood,and of putting in grey stone in basement wall instead of brick and also of putting in ceilings and wains- coatings inall rooms came up, when it was decided that in viewof the perman- ancy of the building and the saving in in- surance andto give the contractor the amount ofthe orginal contract in lieu of these important changes.

We vow stand as follows: We have a building uoder way which will cost us $28,- 600, the same asthe original contract. This building will have ceilings avd wainecoating in in all rooms and halls not in the first building; will have an as- seembly hall 66x43 notin the first con» tract ; will have more class and cap rooms, and a slate roof instead of shingles, iron eves, epoute, conductors and cupulos in- stead of wood, stone steps at all approach: s
