Now Montreal is the greatest port of Canada and it is the best located. From a mere riverside stopping place for ships, it has stepped into the lront rank of ocean ports, and has become equipped with facilities for the accommodation of ships and for the handling and storing of freight that are unrivalled on the continent. Despite the fact that Canada has less than 10,000,000 papulation and that the United States has more than 110,000,000, Montreal now handles a greater volume of business than any port on the American cont_inent with the solitary exception oi New York. The principal reasons for Montreal’s supremacy are the facts that it is nearly one thousand miles inland trom the ocean, at the head of deep water navigation with direct access to the Atlantic, and that behind it is WENTY years ago Montreal was but a “mere calling nlanp fnr shins-” It had nrantinallv nn mndprn pal-m)- l.

The Bolingbroke left London for Montreal on April 9th, calling at Antwerp en-route, arriving three hours ahead of her nearest competitor on May 3rd. The liner “Montrose” of the same line, the first passenger vessel to reach the port in 1923. arrived two davs after. About fifty years ago, the Harbor Master originated the idea of presenting a tall silk hat to the captain of the first vessel to arrive in the spring with a transatlantic ship. This custom was observed for about thirty-five Kears, then, as the top hats lost their popularity, a gold eaded cane was presented instead by the Harbor Commission. a through route right up to the head of the Lakes at the Twin Cities, a thousand miles further inland. Were it an all year port, Montreal would be the chief one of the continent, but for some months winter closes the beauti- ful St. Lawrence route, and the vessels fretting at the mouth of the great river must wait until the ice goes out in the spring before they can rn_ake their way westward, Limited The decision means :1 great (1 .al to the County of GI'OV .as well as wary other Countv in the P10\ 1nLo By the flocision, the roads are regarded as belonging 0 the municipalities During 1921 and 1922 Mr. Calder was chairman of the Committee and the nutter was to a great extent. left in his hands.
