Tho e deputations which 'waited on the Governments were nu [child's play, Those men meant business A srequest is made that the Ontario '| Government guarantee the bonds of a very. big undertaking. The undertaking 1s the devolopment of the water powers | of Ontario, which are perhaps, the larges: according to area in any civilized coun. | try. But the plan does not stop here, It requires for its economical development the building of many radial railways which shall serve a double purpose-- distributors of electric power, light and ] | beat; and feeders of the larger railways. The Ontario. Government is also re- quested to guarantee the bonds of these radial railways: For 'secunty they are offered the railway property and the de- bentures issiedby the several municipal- [ities guaranteeing against loss. | 1 | | overnment guarantee, while it would | cost nothing; would be extremely valuable to Ontario, as: it would 'mean that the terest to be paid on the money required ould be at least one per cent. less than borrowed by a private corporation, In forty vears.

Briefly his--to have the C. P. Railway! a stub line from Myrtle to Port e distance covered by such a line ould be five miles, and as the charter I'by the C. P. R. permits them to d their lines for six miles in any ion, it would not be nécessary to to Parliament for a new charter, the proposed route for the ex- | n the grade is very easy, there only one cut necessary. Both 'Bigelow and Mr. Yarnold have een over the route and believe it ts 'very few if any engineering difficulties. : . The right of way of such a road would not. be costly, as the whole amount of the land to be used would not exceed forty acres. This at $100 per acre would be $4,000. - Construction would cost about $15,000 per mile, using 66 pound rails, and with the erection of a suit- able station might Lring the total cost of the station to $100,000. This is not a large investment for a concern like the C. P. R.,, and in view of the country which the extension would permit them to tap, it. would appear that the investment would be a wise one. Not only would they secure business for the local line, but would and - transcontinental transportation, This is a rich section of country and is going to increase in material wealth as soon as transportation makes it desirable to have the land better popu- lated and more thoroughly cultivated. Intensive farming will pay as son as rapid rcommunication is established between consumer and producer. There will be added value to this locality if a C. P. R. extension can he secured in addition to the- Radial Railway now under discussion. If the Council would have Mr. Yarnold prepare a survey of this route and submit it to the C. P. R., together with a 'memorial setting forth the advantages of such extension, it is quite likely that the Company would give the project favorable consider- ation. a -- The Late Thos. : McConnell The funeral of the late Thos.
