Sir \VIl.FItlI) LAURIER: Ago-sts
st-ul out ol' thc tiopartnient?
Hlr R0l5l'JR’I‘ HORDEN: Employed
by the tioparinioiit. Tito Minister ol'
Mllititt can-make u ftillcr explanation:
but just iiowl-aiu giving to thc iiousc
the information lic has given to nic.
lic ioltl mc that thc course which hc
dccldcd to pursue was this: that the
pcrsons who were employed to pur-
chase horses inust be paid at a dis-
tinct rate for their travelling expenses.
anti that for each horse purchased the
(Iovcnment must know the exact price.
That was accomplished by giving cre-
dit to sonic responsible person in
whom the depstment had confidence
and that agent, together with a_vet-
erlnary surgeon who accompanied
lilm, and whose duty it was to pus,
upon the horses, was authorised’ to |
sign cheques upon that credit so- es-
tablished or to give order! u ibut

dcrelood `was bulu,; rollout-il. has.
that ii cheque or order inust be given
for ouch individual horse. and that the
person purchasing thc horse must on 4
dorse that cheque or order so that ill.
rcupt-it ol every house purchased by
the Dtpurtnient ot’ Militia thc Gov
ernment would know thc precise aunt
that it had paid If that had been cur
ricd out I thliik lion, gentlemen on
both sides of the House will say that
very effective safeguards would have
surrounded the purchase of horses for
the Depatment or Militia There you
ia the tirst pipes,
it purchasing agent in whom the do V
partnient had coiilltleucc and, in the
second place a veterinary surgeon who
was to pass upon the soundness ot the
horse. his age, anti condition. and
everything ol' that kind and in the
third place, you had a cheque or order
driinn to represent thc price paid bv
the people of this country in respect
ol’ each horso, which was itlso identlil
cd so that there could be no palmlng
off of any other horse for the one actu-'
ally purchased. '
lt seems that during thc course of
this war thc ho'n. moiubcr oi' this
House went to Col. Nt-ill, thc princip-
al vetrinnry oiliccr, und urged that
horses should be purclniscd in thc
Maritime Provinces seeing that they
were being purchased elsewhere in
Canada. I shall refer rt little later on p
to thc statement in connection with ‘
this subject which has been givcirto
me by the lion. member for Kings, N.
S. (Mr. A. Do Witt Foster). At all
events Mr. Foster was employed to
purchase horses in the Province of
Nova Scotia. and he did undertake the
duties of purchasing agent, and a cre-
dit o_f a very considerable sum ot
money. about $73,000 I think, was en-
tablisli'ctl‘und' eventually paid out for
liorscs purchased in thc province of
Nova Scotia, The lion. nicmbcr for
Kings, N. S.; was not thc only person
cmploycd in the province of Nova
Scotia. or in' lilo lllztritinic Provinces.

ton; nnd Mr. II. B. Mciicod and Mr. E.
C. 'l‘liurstoir purchased horses to the
nunihcr of 116, sontt-wlicrc in tho
i\liti‘ltizne" Proviliccs. I do not know
precisely where.
Mr. Foster was appointed as purcha-
sing agent without'thc knowledge or
consent of approval of any member of
thc G'ovcrnuicnl. I kin-.iv nolliintr of it
or I should certainly have absolutely
`prcvc-.ntcti his undcrtukintz any such

nothing of lt, and hc informs me that
