Mr. A. F. Arsenaultfs

Question re

edwithout Result.

in the daagisiailure yesterday morning iMr. A. F. Arsenault again asked the following questions, re- plies to which had not ‘been given when asked previously.

1. How many steel bridges have been built in this Province?

2. Glvodzhe names land length of such bnidSefl.

1i. How many of these bridiges we.re built under the late Conser- vative admdnistratlon"

4. Iiow many by the jpresent Government?

5. lliow many steel bridges have ‘been painted since the pre- sent. izovernmeut came into pcwelr?

ti. if any, gives names of sucb ‘badges and costs of painting for each.

7. How many wooden bridges bull: on cresote ‘piles and bard pine caps were erected under the late Conservative Administration‘! (a) What was the total coats of such bridges? ‘

. How ‘many like bridges wors built by t-he present government?

Premier Bell in the absence of the Commissioner o! Pulblic Wor-lrs said the practice has been to con flue questions and answers to the work of the past year. This ques- tion covered a number of years and ‘the Government could not a1 low 1t. if such questions were continued the Iiiouse would -he sit- ting for all etelnlty. The ilni-‘Orm-
