Moxed by Francis King, seconded by J. G. Ellie, afd yesolyed : That, in the opinion of the board of trade ol the city of KiAgswon, the government of Canada should refuse to permit, any further exploitation of the St. Lowrence river for power pus- poses, reven When guarautees of pro- tection for navigfition are given by the promoters of these schemes; That by treaty the: citicens of Can- ada and of the United States are en titled equally to the: free and open enjo¥ment of the river for navigation from the Great Lakes to the sed! That the late lnternationul Water ways Commission has, on repeated oc casigps,' laid down und applied the principle that as between navigation and power interests in these waters the interests of havigation ave * para: mount; ~ «That article 8 of the treaty "with the United States, signed at Washington, on January 11th, 1909, and confirmed by chapter 28 of the Canadian statu tess of 1911, finally defines the order of precedence to vheerved in the various uses of thése waters, and pro- hibits any conflict with or restraint upon. a primary use by a secondary use, the order beng fixed as follows : 1.~Uses for domestic and Sanitary purposes. 2.~Uses for navigation, including the service of canals for the purposes of navigation. 3.~Uses for power and for irrigation purposes. * That the development of power from the waters of the St. Lawrence canals has already seriously prejudiced navi gation on the river; That the granting away of power franchises to individuals or corpora: tions for their own use and benefit, even when conditions are imposed for the protection of mavigation by reme- dial works, is open to most serious objections from any point of view, but is especially to bescondemned with reference to rights of navigation, be- cause such use of the river is subver- give of the principles above referred to, and be.ause experience has shown that so-called remedial works do "not always remedy, cannot be guaranteed to remedy, cannot with certainty pro- vide for all 'the future needs of navi gation, and do not provide for diffi- culties during periods of construction or break-down. That, in any event, the control of the navigation of the river should not in any case be permitted to pass in the slightest degree out of the hands of the government; ¥ That ' experience has proved that power concessions already made in certain sections of the river have seriously prejudiced the right of the government to deal freely with these waters according to its own plans or for its own purposes: That alteration of levels and cure vonts should not be permitted except a# part of any general and carefully considered scheme of St. Lawrence improvements, which may ultimately be adopted by the goveryment with due regard to the most advantageaus method of utilizing. the whole water available in the rives; That for the above, and many Oth: or reasons, the Kingston Board of Trade is most strongly of the opin- jon that no further power concessions should be granted on the St. Law- rence and that no further changes should be permitted, except such as ars made by the government, until a comprehersive scheme of improve ment of the whole river has heen carefully considered and adopted by the government, and that in any evant any improvements undertaken should be designed and controlled by the government pimarily in the in: terests of navigation and with the development of power only» ns a secondary consideration; And that copies of this resofution bo sent to W. F< Nickle, K.C..
