Mr. Fox said that this was not a polit'cal question and was one on which we could all join hands. It was It matter of (in- ancial interest to us all. We should not allow: trade to drift away from us for: the sake of saving a few cents a yenr.’1‘.he building of this road would cause a great deal of money to be. spent in this district. and that alone was north thinking about. \Ve wanted better rates and better accom- [modatiou Why. the awommoda-t'oi had been better since the ag itatiou for CHPRI connection had begun. It is a purely financial question. If we cannot see! how: it is going to benefit us to the extent asked we should not support the road. It willp pay. and we should support it. Acent a bushel on grain would more than pay the outlay, and we all believed we would be bene- fitted more than that. No money would bop ayable under the b-h until the p‘l'hOlQ road wee comp and an agreement eatistactory tothe Ops council is entered into that the road will be operated thy the 0.13.3 Company for 11 Ian term at years. If the road is not If on finished within‘ the time? epeoifled in file by. law the people‘ would not have to my aunt. mmthenmdtheb lavmdpointedoutth. ccnttinedthaniu end eon- elusivaly the Wity o! the road ever telling intothe hands at the is why he would support the railway. He thanked the chairman for calling upon him, and gave way to the next amks’r- ' Mr. James Robinson. reeve of Ops, thought that it would be absurd for him to speak. He came to hear and not to advice. If he could see how. in spending 85. he could gnakg 819. he wag bound to do it. That Mr. Thos. Brady. cine of the provisional directors,st next called upon. He said that he did not come to make a speech. but came simply,‘ to explain away some objec. tions he had heard. It had been held that the municipalities should hnve taken: stock. indeed of granting s bonus. If they did so they would have to furnish all the» funds to build it themselves. as no capitalists could be found. who would go into partnership with municipalities to construct a rail- way. It would. cost Ops over $100,000 as her share 01 the road. it itwns built by the municipalities. {the road will cost, under present conditions. 815,000 per mile. and if we can furnish government and; municipal aid to the extent of $5.000 per mile the provision- al directors can finance the scheme. but otherwise they could not induce capitalists to take hold 0! it. Stock- taking was out of date and had always proved disastrous to public and private investors alike. :Dhe C. P. R. were not ‘ seeking this read, they must under.‘ stand. but we arei noting it because we need it. All must understand that. The provisional directors seek for nothing out of the road and will not receive anything- back excepting the general benefit that will come to all. He pointed out the benefits of competi- tiun and expressed the strongest faith in the success of the scheme. The risk is small and! the benefits. it any: will be great. More people will come into town and county and the home market will be much better. He hoped that all would heartily support the C. P. R connection.
