Sutherland, minister of public works\ndealt with road work costs and limited figures involving\ncontracts carried out by the late Conservative government. He wus defending his department againsa complaints of opposition members that the present administration has been paying too much for road building. Dr.\nSutherland was. able to show by the records that this\nbranch of Ihe provincial service is doing better work at\na lower cost than it did under the Conservative regime.\nSome of these records are worth studying. Between\n1908 aud 1912 the McBride government built the Maia-\nhat highway. The department engineer estimated the\ncost of seventeen miles, the stretch in iiuostiou, at $84,-\n653.29. The work cost the province $297,249.24. The\nover-expendituru in this case, therefore, wus $212,595.95\non a contract calling for the expenditure of $84,(i53.2'J.\nTake another case.- The Conservative government under?\ntook the Banff-Windermtre highway. The department\nestimate In thiB case for the construction of 00.25 miles\nof road was $207,302. The public works department actually built 18.53 miles of the road, together with 2.1G\nmiles of the tote-road, and the taxpayers of British Columbia were charged no less than $277,192.09 for it; but\nthe Canadian Pacific Railway company contributed $75,-\n000 of this amount. The rest of the highwap, of course,\nwas built by the Dominion government. Let this be\nclearly understood. The amount of road contracted for\nin this case was more than sixty miles. The estimated\ncost of the whole job was $207,302. less than nineteen\nmiles were built by the province; but the cost of only\nthis much was $277,192.09. Here, then, was an over-\nexpenditure of $00,830.09 on less than one-third of the\njob originally estimated for.\ntory,\" or expressions to that purpose.

But the refinements of modern science deiuuud u fur higher degree of\naccuracy In measurement than is perhaps ever dreamed\nof in Uie ordinary walks of life. The pains taken to obtain precise standards of measure are almost beyond belief of one who is not familiar with scientific methods.\nUvery one knows thai so-called standard burs, on which\nthe exact length of the yard and the meter are marked,\nare in the possession of the governments of Great Britain, Uie United Slates, France and other countries, but\nevery one does not know with what care these standards\nhave been compared and with what patience they have\nbeen minutely measured again and again.\noi\nHON. W. H. SUTHTRLAND, minister of public works,\ndiscussing road maintenance costs in the legislature\nthe other dap, declared that he wus at a loss to understand why the late Conservative government had not been\nable to work much cheaper than it did prior to 1916,\nwhen labor and materials cost much less than they do\nnow. In respect of maintenance methods in particular,\nthe minister pointed out that in 1910 two good teams\nwith a crew put on fourteen cubic yards of gravel per\nday on a Hi-mlle haul al a cost of $35.50, or $2.60 per\ncubic yard spread on the road. Iu 1920 two trucks with\na crew put on thirty-eight cubic pards of gravel per day\non a IVi-mile haul at a cost of 536, or 95 cents per cubic\nyard spread on the road\u2014more than double the output\nat a little more than one-third of the cost per yard. In\n1916, moreover, it took a four-horse team with a grader\nand crew four days to grade twelve miles of road at a\ncost of $104, or nearly $9 per mile. In 1926 the same\ntwelve miles were better graded in two days with a\npower grader at a cost of $38, or 3.17 per mile, a saving\nof two daps' time and $66 in cash. Here is ample evidence of the fact that maintenance costs have been cut\nin half, or even better than that. Nor should it be forgotten\u2014and it is an importauL point\u2014that the highways\nof this province now are subjected to at least four times\nas much traffic as they were when the Conservative government was in oflice. This factor alone, the minister\nobserved, has a vital bearing upon the cost and methods\nof maintenance. Yet, as the records show, the department\nover which Dr. Sutherland preside.- has met the situation\neffectively, not only by building good roads economically,\nbut also hp keeping them in repair at a low cost to the\ntaxpaayer, ~   ^j jj\nNOTES, NOTIONS 8 NOTABLES\nCANADIAN'S appear to be regarded as phenomenal egg\neaters. In a report received from the Canadian\ntrade commissioner, Harrison Watson, stationed iu old\nLondon, it is pointed out thut the consumption of eggs\nin Canada amounts to 337 per head of population per\nannum, outstripping the rest of the world in this respect.\nIhe consumption of other countries is given as: Belgium\n213, United States 180, France 138, Great Britain 125,\nGermany 117, (Sweden S5, Denmark 75, and Norway 61.\nThe Imperial economic committee is credited with attributing Canada's high consumption of eggs to the attention and encouragement which has been given by the\ndepartment of agriculture ut Ottawa to the industry iu\nthis counirp. It moreover emphasizes the practical value\nof the development of the farming community in so fur\nthat production of poultry und eggs is uvullublu to practically everybody on the land prepared lo exercise ordinary cure und Intelligence. The, commissioner further\npoints out that there has been u rcmiii kublu Increase in\npoultry farming In the United Kingdom since the war.\nThis is credited to the interest Unit ox-soldiers have beun\nted to tuke Iu poultrp raising. 'I'his home increase has\nbrought the importation of the United Kinghom to a\nlower figure than before the war. Imperial ions from\nempire sources, excluding the Irish Free Stute, are practically unchanged. Upon the other hand, consignments\nfrom Australia -aud Smith Africa have increased, while\nshipments from Cuuada have decreased. Previous to the\nwar, ft is pointed out, Russia supplied 50 per cent and\nDenmark 25 per cent of the eggs imported. At present\nChina and Denmark, in the order named, dominate the\ntrade and supplemented by receipts from Netherlands,\nPoland and Belgium, contribute about Mj per cent of the\neggs imported.\nELECTRIC heut Is now used for the treatment of honey\nto prepare it for the market.
