In 19UI the Dominion and Ontario OovemmeDta Jointly appointed a com- mittee to investigate whether or not peat fuel could be produced commer- claMy. This committee existed for Are yeara, by which time the investi- gations bad been carried tar enough to iMint the way to capitalists and Jiwiustrlallsis for the successful manu- I Alfred. The company anticipates the I retailing of peat at prices that will re- ! suit In a saving of at least $C In fpel costs to each householder who u^es peat ^ l4 . place of Imported anthraqlte â-  during the stages of the winter i^a- Kon when tho severity "of'the cold ia less marked. The development of the Dominion's resources for tho purpose of replacing Imports Is a. matter that directly or Indirectly benefits every Canadian. facture of a domestic and Industrial Therefore the extraction of peat from fuel from Canada's peat resources. That tho work of the committee Is being brought to a fruition commen- surate with the $350,000 governmental expenditure appears to be evident from the present operations of a com- pany formed with private capital to develop the peat bogs at Alfred, On- tario, about forty mlletr east of Ot- tawa. On 16th July a visit was paid to Alfred by officials attached to the Do- minion Fuel Board and in their opini- on the progress attained by the com- pany, considering the de!ay In com- mencing this summer's operations, far exceeded expectations. The machine*, all elsctrleally drlren, were running Bmoothly.

Should the venture prove flnancially successful the way will be paved for tho commercial development of num- bers of bogs elsewhere In Canada, par- ticularly in the acute fuel zone, and the resulting greatly Increased output of peat will render Canada lesa- de- pendent on Imported fuels, which at present constitute the largest Item on the wrong side of the Dominion's in- ternational trade account.
