Mr. BOYS:

Are the buildings close to the Roxborough apartments to be removed, and what about the church north of that?

Mr. ELLIOTT:

I think all the things to which my hon. friend has referred to are matters for the city, that is, with the exception of the post office. There is nothing in contemplation with regard to the post office coming down this year.

Mr. BOYS:

There is no doubt, I think,

that there is further work in contemplation. Perhaps it is not yet decided upon, but there is other work, is there not?

Mr. BOYS:

Take the buildings that were pulled down between the Aylmer apartments and the canal; was not that work done by the Department of Public Works?

Mr. ELLIOTT:

That was under the

jurisdiction of the Federal District Commission, and the Department of Public Works did not have anything to do with it.

Mr. McQUARRIE:

I should like to ask the minister if he thinks the treasury board would pass a little item for the cleaning and [DOT]restoring of some of the statues on the grounds of this building. Some of them are getting into a very disgraceful condition, notably the statues of Sir Wilfrid Laurier and Sir John A. Macdonald. Something should be done to take care of them properly. Last session I drew the attention of the minister to the corner stone of the building, and he had the inscription renewed, which made a great improvement. Perhaps the proper official responsible has overlooked attending to the statues on the grounds.

Mr. ELLIOTT:

What my hon. friend

refers to is very largely the oxidization from the sulphur fumes which come from across the river, and there is no way of preventing that.

But you can get at

them without much trouble. Do you say nothing can be done? They are in a disgraceful condition; surely something should be done to restore them.
