Eastern Cities and Housing Accommodation A despatch from Halifax says:â€" The hcusing situation throughout the Maritime Provinces is even more serâ€" ious than elsewhere in Canada. Large numbers of immigrants enter Canada by the ecast every month; and if housâ€" ing _ accomodation was sufficient, large numbers of these would be reâ€" tained in the cities and towns of eastâ€" ern Canada. The industries are in need of much more labor than is usually available; and it is felt that the strongest steps must be taken to soâ€" cure shelter for the newcomers. In Halifax itself even many of the exâ€" plosion victims are without adequate dwe‘llings. Only some building perâ€" mits for dwellings woere issued here last month; and the present month‘s building outlook is not bright. The Government, it was announced, will apply the sum derived from the sale of the Brussels to some charitable purpose connected with Capt. Fryatt‘s name. commercial feeling of the bidders. The first bid was £3,000 and was on behalf of David Petrie of London and Antâ€" werp. After coaxing by the auctionâ€" eer the bid was raised £100 by Mr. Stott, and with no other bid forthcomâ€" ing the vessel was sold to him. Sir Ernest Glover, representing the Ministry of Shipping, attended the sale and said a request had ‘been reâ€" Many ship owners attended the sale, but bidding for the historic ship was not spirited.

Experita, who expect low prices, in viow of the present falling rates, say t‘he Germane are bound to complain thast the British Ministry of Shipping throw the liners oh the market in a «lump period instead of during a boom. It is considered most likely that the biggest liners will be bought by the present operating companies, the Imâ€" perator and the Kaiserin becoming Cunsrders. Lord Inchape declined to auction the vessels, declaring that the invitation of bids would bring better prices. A despatch from London says:â€" Baroness Macdonald, of Earnscliffe, widow of the great Canadian Premier, Sir John Alexander Macdonald, died on Sunday. Susan Agnes Macdonald was cre ated a Baroness in her own right on the death of her distinguished husâ€" band, in recognition of his public services. She was born in 1836, the daughter of the Hon. T.

Widow of the great Canadian Preâ€" mier, Sir John Alexander Macdonald, whose death in England has been anâ€" nounced, She was created a Baroness by Queen Victoria, but the title dies with her, as she leaves no male heir. To promote a more general underâ€" standing of the nature of the numerâ€" ous problems involved in making greater use of our owh fuel resources, the Commission of Conservation carâ€" rled out a thorough survey of the whole situation, and, in 1913, publishâ€" ed the resulits in a volume entitled Conservation of Coal in Canada, comâ€" piled by W. «. Dick. Mr. Dick made a very exhaustive study, covering the following problems:â€"â€" (1) Improvement of Canadian ing methods; (3) Domestic fuel problem of the Prairle Provinces; (4) Utilization of low grade fuels; (6) The coking of coal. Perhaps the most illuminating feaâ€" ture of the report.is the examination of the extent to which the use of Canadian coal is controlled by freight rates. Conservation of Coal in Canada is one of a series of publications issued by the Commisston of Conservation to afford the best possible understandâ€" ing of Canada‘s fuel and power reâ€" sources and problems. Copies are freely available on application to the Commission. A despatch from London says:â€"The Prince of Wales is due to reach Berâ€" muda on September 14.

The Governorâ€"General has, by proâ€" clamation, «et aside Saturday, October 9 as a day on which to specially emâ€" phasize the great loss which Canaâ€" dians, individually and collectively, are sustaining through destruction by fire of both natural and. created reâ€" sources. Lightning damaged or destroyed 1,102 buildings in Ontario, involving a loss of $506,885, of which $212,778 was rot covered by insurance. None of these farm buildings were equipped with lightning rods, whereas but two buildings protected by lightning rods were damaged, and these to the amount of $22 only. Matches were again responsible for the largest number of known fires, 1.148 in Ontario originating thereâ€" from. Practically every fire due to matches is the result of carelessness. At a time of high building costs and acute scarcity of material!, we are burning buildings at a criminal rate. Our fire loss of last year, viz., $23, 500,000, or approximately $2.90 per capita, was the highest per capita in the orld. Not only is this a complete loss of national wealth, but its replacement creates increased competition for available building supplies, thus erâ€" hancing prices for new building. How can we hope to overcome the housing shortage when, in Ontario alone, last year 5,804 dwellings were damaged or destroyed, causing a loss of $1,753,â€" 333? Thero were also 744 frame barns destroyed, at a loss of $1,189,906, of which $557,736 was uninsured.
