Mr. PEDLOW:

Has the acting Postmaster General any information in regard to the extensive reorganization of the Post Office Department that is now in progress? Another matter I want to refer. I understand no separate accounts are kept in the Post Office Department of its sale of postage stamps and of inland revenue stamps. I protested against that last year. I think separate accounts should be kept so we will know exactly what the actual revenue of the Post Office Department is.

Mr. PEDLOW:

Well, it makes no difference; the question applies just the same.

Mr. PEDLOW:

Is this wharf to be constructed of cement or timber?

Mr. PEDLOW:

That does not alter the fact that the information that I have received is correct. The gentleman who had the contract for this construction in the first place made the statement to me yesterday that the price received by him for building the wharf entirely new in the first instance was less than half the amount being charged now.

Mr. PEDLOW:

Will my hon. friend say what kind of business is carried on on Alumette island?
