This building had to be re-wired two years ago because it was un- safe. This chammr was renovated last year. This floor was laid with linoleum in order that it might look’ decent at the time of the Cartier Celebration. ‘Ihooc are some of the things that we did regarding this building and we must do more be- fore the end of the year. I have here the report of Mr. Albert Baker. a. competent man. who deals with this building all over as tothings that are ‘ ‘ ‘ necessary to do. m. instance the furnace. room: "Wood beams supporting floors in very bad shape, also some piers. would recommeiiil wood floor and beams be replaced by steel beams, and reinforced concrete floor slab over this section of ‘building. Con- crete floor in Bell-airy Omce to be covcrnd with linoleum. Furnace flue is dangerous and should be rebuilt top tc bottom. Proper areas should be built. for coal delivery. Anout- side area with proper ash hoists at north side. Heating boilers are in bad condition and may have to be replaced. If so, room should be ex- cavated to deepen floor, floor to be concrete, sump pit which should be provided having automatic pump discharge. Coal and ash areas piped to sump pit under floor. A wooden stringer built in stone wall of base- ment, now rotten, to be taken out and chase bricked up. All basement windows to be made good and tight in atone wall. All glass broken to be replarfld and sashes repaired}! Thai; 13 just the boiler room itself. He estimates that it will cost over $40,000 to put this building in shape and if we don't do it thme two ends are liable to come down anv- time. You will are how bad it is. We had to put a lot of fireproof fil- ing cabinets in this building. We did start to renovate the room at the other cod.

The Federal Government have FAULTY wlnmc. paid for the road at Borden. they are paying $5,500 on our agmement of an extra eight miles. and besides that we got from them $2,500 a mile on five miles of cold mix or mixed in place road.

They say we bungled over the building, didn't know what we were doing, and I claim Mir. Speaker that we proceeded in a perfectly orderly manner. I was able to get a mental expert come to this Province, lent to this Government by the Govern- ment of Ontario-Dr. Clark-who made an exact check over and a de- tailed examination of every patient that we had-mental patients and in the Infirmary-in order that we might see just what we needed. Then we had an architect but the whole burden of the criticism is that we could have repaired and re- built the west wing the same as the cast wing, and my friend, the Ex- Mirlister of Public Works, is thn man who makes this charge the oftenest and who repeats that the building was capable of being m. built. A man who has been Minister of Public Works ought to know better, and he says we did it with- out consultation. I want to tell him, Mr. Speaker, that I had oplnlona from builders who know juat as much about rulng as any one else in this country and I sent them there to give rne an opinion on the ruins of Raloonwood and one was Major J. B. Sterling of Montreal, Contractor and General Manager of the Cape Construction Company. and Mr. Alex McDonald, President and Builder of Halifax.
