House met at 4.45 p. m.

Alter routine ' MR. MORSON pressed for an an-

swer to question No31 on the order book asked by him last week. The question is as follows. He asks ‘the Commissioner of Public Works to lay on the table of the House papers and information.

(1) The specifications and plans

for the rebuilding of the Summerside Court House.

(2) Was or was not the said

building constructed by contract or how otherwise. ,

(3) If by contract, who was the

contractor and for what sum? Lay the contract on the table ol the House.

(4) Was such work let by tender

or how otherwise 7 If by tender, how were such tenders called for? How many tenders were received and lay the same on thc table of the House. _ (5) Was or were nny, and ii any, construction of the work, from th plans and specifications upon yvhi<h. what change or changes made in the tenders were called for? Were such changes or alterations made in tie plans and specifications before oi after the signing of the contract! Did they increase or diminish the

cost of such work and how much,..

and upon whose authority were they made ? .

(6)"Was”V any inspector (6) Was any Inspector, and if so,

who, appointed for such work and what remuneration did he receive?

(7) Has such work being (7) Has such work been comple-

ted and taken over by the Govern- ment, if so, when 'I

(8) What was the total cost of

the work as it now stands, including the heating apparatus?

(9) Were payments made on ac-

count of such work from time to time as it progressed, if so, on whose estimate 7 ,Give the several dates and amounts of such pay- ments. _

Mr. Morson contended that the re-

ply tabied to the above by the Com- missioner of Public Works was not sufficient. He wished the original tenders to be laid on the table of the House. The Commissioner has said that he would furnish copies of

the _ tenders. _Why does he. not pro- duce the actual tenders themselves? This Home has a perfect right to see them.~ In the Federal Parliament nt Ottawa recently the question of producing original documents was tlireshed ou_t,/ and the government there acceded to the request. What is done up there might very well he done here. .

Hon. Mr. Cummiskey : That was

done after reconsideration.

Mr. Morsoni: Then the' Commis- sioner r efuses to answer the ques- tion. 'I ' _ Hon. Mr. Cummisdeyi -I t00k refuse, but I will only ‘A0 it 0” an orderof the House. \ Mr.Morson: On whose aiitllofltv
