May 19, 1914 (12th Parliament, 3rd Session)

Mr. REID:

I called up the accountant
of the commission this morning and asked him to give me a detailed statement of the amount expended each year. He told me that the total amount up to January 1, 1914, was $60,991.22. I thought the amount very small and could not understand how that could be all that was expended during five years, but he assured me that was the total amount expended from the time the Act was first passed. He promised to send me a detailed statement of the amount expended for each year.
