For North York the Metro planners show a popuâ€" lation of 396,000 while Metro assessors have come up with 392,000 an increase of 26,000 over last year.

Just as the fur industry began to look promis ing, Jimmy Watt died. The HBC then took over administration of the beaver conservation area, but without a Jimmy around to perâ€" sonally visit the dams and count the beaver population, trappers again prematurely moved in and again killed off what could have been a very promising enterâ€" Jimmy, says Father Grenon, hired an Indian "to protect Canada‘s first fur conservation area." The Indian thought Jimâ€" my was out of his mind to pay a man money for not trapping beavers but decided to take the assignment because the money looked good. Father Grenon explained that the beaver, is one of the few fur bearing animals in the Canada northland which has no natural enemies. Most of the others he said, swell and drop in ponulaâ€" tion in seven year cycles which invariably means a feast and famine for the hunter.~ Jimmy sold his idea to the Quebec ° government and was given the land between the north shore of the Rupert River north to the south shore of the Easâ€" main River on the east shore of James Bay to increase the beaver population. ; Jimmy therefore thought if the fur trapping industry could be revived, there would be ligitiâ€" mate work for the Indian trapâ€" pers and the people would once again prosper. Then the Hudson Bay outpost would remain and the Indians could purchase equipâ€" ment and foodstuffs, essential to survival in an Arctic climate.
