siandard reported by mr dajton junr report of the committee on the expediency of granting a sum of moitey for the im provement of the navigation of the waters of the district of newcastle house in com mittee of the whole mr gowan in the chair mr boulton observed that the improve ment of the trent was a subject of very gen eral interest one which had been under the consideration of the legulaturo for some time and which bad been recommended by the commissioners fur the general improvement of the province and it was dow full time that and jitif conveyance for their manufactures itpi volj known that the proprietors of the works were forced to discuutioue their opera tion in consequence of the very enormous ex pense of transportiog the many articles of their manufacture they would by the opening of the trent be enabled to roenramonce their la bor those extenaivo works were quite suf 6cieut to supply the whole province of upper canada with iroo and would to this day have been in successful operation had it not been for the very grear difficulty of cooveyiog their goods to market he felt quite satisfied that the tolls arising from lumber and the great quantity of agricultural produce which would come down the trent would be quite sufficient to pay tbe interest of the money advanced for it improvement the population of the dis trict of newcastle had increased more thau that of any other district in the province du ring the same period which proved that the emigrants arriving from the old country were satisfied to settle jre but if some means were not speedily afforded to the farmers of the back townships to britig their produce to market notooly would emigrants to that dis trict cease but tho present inhabitants would be furced to abandon it as in many instances the expense to thetarmer in bringing hi pro duce to market was equal to the worth of tbe article during the last session of tbe legis lature a sum of money 6000 was granted for the improvement of the upper part of the oav- rgawuu auj im aj ftttuty j hj- royal assent tbe money which was now osked for was to improve the mouth of tbe river beginning at the point where the steam boats navigating the bay of quiote now touch our neighburs in the state felt a good deal interested in the improvement and he mr bouhon had no doubt that at some future day much of their trade would go through the bay of quinte and the treot it was intended ul timately to complete the improvement by opening the navigation from lake simcoe to the mouth of tho treot they perhaps might not bo justified io granting so large a sum of money at the present time as would be requi site to finish the work tbe sum specified in the report was 77000 for the years 1837 and 1833 and he hoped the house would not refuse to grant tbe means for an imprnvement which had been long evidently necessary as to have been contemplated in the lime of col simcue vi cartwright would not suppose that any bou member iu considering tbe present mea sure would look upon it as a mere matter of pouods shillings and pence but rather as a groat public work which would tend greatly to tbe benefit of the province and as a means of employing the emigrants who arrived in this country as tbe want of employment was nne treat reason why they aaw left upfe ca nada and went to the united states there were no means of more effectually benefitting the province than by expediting these great public works and he therefore did not antici pate any objections from any member of the house ni to the expediency of makiog the pro posed improvement and the only question that could in his opinion arise was as to the extent of the work it was very well koown that the trent empties itself into the bay of quinte and that a very short cut was requi red over the isthmus whicli divides the bay from the lake to make a safe harbor for all the vessels navigating lake ontario it costs upper canada aonually a great sum or money for the article of iron there were likewise at present many railways iu contemplation especially in the western part or the province and in what manner could we more facilitate tho construction of such works than by giving to our own population the means of manufac turing such a necessary article within them selves the marmora iron work would by the c peeing of the trent be enabled to sup ply a vast quantity of iron and he believed he spoke withiu bounds in saying thai the iron necessary for one mile of railroad would cost 1200 upper canada depended for her ex ports greatly upon the lumber trade and if we did not give facilities to the lumber mer chant to briug his lumber to a market our tim ber must rot useless in our forests the lum ber contained io one of the townships alone iu the neighborhood of the trent wns computed to be worth a million sterling which was now utterly useless from the want of means of coo- veying it to market theie were he believ ed about 200000 acres or crown land io fifty townships io the newcastle district fur which five shillings an acre could not now be obtained but which iu the event of the propo sed improvement being effected would sell for five dollars an acre a great advantage at tending the work was that ihe laborers em ployed in its construction would many of them apply their earnings to buy land in the neigh- canals coftoflctmg there were made too nar row steamboats could not be ituilrnf a suffi cient size tft tow mi across those lake io stormy wether ho hoped the committee would now adopt the resolution as be believed the improvement of the navigation of the treot would be nne or tbe most grand and prosperous undertakings in the province juv ruttan spoke at great length in favour or the improvement but from the low iooe io which the boo gentleman delivered himself rud his position in tbe house it was impos sible to report his speech improvement of the trent reported by mr junkin mr ruttan spoke at considerable length but from the position in which he stood he could not be heard with sufficient distinctness he earnestly pressed on the committee iht- importance of iho proposed improvement au- poicted out the great advantages it would confer on tbe inhabitants of the back parts or the newcastle district and showed the com paratively small sum which was required to open a water communication through that fust settliog end interesting part or ibe province mr thorburn had not tbe honor of being present when the report was read and was not well acquainted with it which he bflppof ed was also the case with many other lion members and yet the honourable gentle man who spoke last wubed to urge i jnjiiiijj- jfip ta wtniitruif itachuifffi ifilt ai ever thought the committee should pauso be fore tbey voted away o large a sum as ua required it ought to be recollected ttfat ihk province was already about a million in deb and yet the hoo gemlemau urged the coir mittce to go still further io debt to make tli improvement which would only benefit ebm thirty thuuscd people there were oth- parts of the provijce which required imn dinte ntteuiion and were they to run in de to make that one improvement they won do great injustice to the whole province 11 thought it would be well for the commute to rise and report progress and have the re port printed in order that it might be fully un derstood he by no means wished to sat that the ruer trent should not be improved but as we were a million in debt already h thought the only wise aod safe course wouli be to rise atid print tbe bill for future discus sion mr sherxeood said that from what he h heard from the hon member for lenox addington and the hon members from newcastle district respecting the great ad tagesofthis work he was io favour of iu i he thought it was premature to press the t ject forward just now tbe house did know yet what the resources of the pro werethe public accounts were not b them aod he would like to see what was state of our financial affair before he coot ed to plunge tbe province atill further iu d the hoo members who were particularly terested should allow the committee to ri aod report progress aod if they would do he would pledge himself to give his support the measure on another day but if they pre- ed it now he would uot pledge himself way or the other jtfr carttoright would bo happy to m- the views of hon membon and be belie his hon friemj from durham had no wish press the question to a divisinn tonight moved that the committee do now rise r- progrcss aud ask leave to sit again lht fortnight when the speaker took the ch he intended to move that it be the first i on the order of the day for that day mr manahan pressed upon the commit the great importance of the work aod exp ed his regret that the hon member for third riding of lincoln seemed not to h possession of that correct information reg it which he nhoold have fur if ho had he convinced the hoo gentleman would look on it very differently from what be ape to do th hon member then went o explain the advantages of tho inieuded provement and remarked that he did think there was any part of tbe province r the same length of water communication bo made for so small a sum mr merritt rose to correct an error had beeo staled by the hon member thiid ridiug of liocoln that we wor lion io debt that was not the cae not know where the hon gentleman information but it was erruneous and 1 not wish such a statement to go uocootrat ed to the public the committee then rose aod reported gress to sit again on this day fortnight the work should be entered upon he who f lived in the newcastle district might be sup- 1 borhood aud would settle in the country for merest in the until we could retain our emigrants upper canada would never flourish population was wealth aod until we could obtain that all our schemes fur joint stock banks aud posed to have a more uircct work thau those who live at a distance from the river trent on the contrary wore he in proceed with a view to ins own interest aod that or his immediate oelibors be should op- provincial banks would be perfectly fruitless poie the projected improvements as it wnuld have ao injurious effect upon the village in an which lie lived he should however consid ering it os a great pubiiic benefit give it his warmest support by the opening of the uav- igatiuo of the treot a communicatiuo would bo opened to a very exwmsive tract of coun try as valuable for agricultural purposes as any in the province itj would also be of iot- hear hear it would ue a very great ad vantage in the contemplated improvement that as sooo as a mile of the navigation was completed it would he available aod the coun try would thus immediately derive benefit from ir the only question with any hoo member as he before said should be as to the exieot of the improvement he mr cartwright was averse to commencing the work upon loo tuesday 29th nov 1836 mr speaker
