The 84th annual meeting of the policyholders of the Grey and Bruce Mutual Fh'e Insurance Company was held in the town hall Hanover, on Friday evening. The attendance was not. large due to unfavorable weather conditions. The officers’ report shows that the company has lust completed one of the best years in its history The amaunt of losses last year was 83.00" less than in 1925. There is a. balance on hand of ever saw The amount of in- surance in force at the present time is 87.500000. A year ago, continued the Pre- mier. the Province undertook an in- vestigation to determine the cost of haulage. An independent expert from Chicago was consulted, and a sys- tem of determining cost was worked out. which the railways. however, afterwards declined to put into op- eration. At present, in conjunction with the Government of Alberta. an application had been made to the Dominion Government for a hearing and investigation by the Railway Commission. and he believed the or- der-in-Council had already been passed. At that hearing, the pro- vince of Alberta as well as the Province of Ontario would be repre- sented. “We hope that it will be demonstrated that coal can be hauled at a lower rate than suggested. and I think it will be at a 87 rate," he commented. The investigation would also in- clude the possibility of securing Nova Scotia coal. “1 am glad to say.“ added the Premier, “that from a comprehensive and accurate sur- vey. we are gradually reaching a position where we may in a few years call ourselves independent en- tirely of foreign supplies of fuel. When that time arrives. we shall also be retaining in Canada the money of Canadian wage-earners and the money now spent for coal outside of Canada." GOOD YEAR ENJOYED BY GREY AND BRUCE MUTUAL SOON BE INDEPENDENT 01" U. S. COAL SUPPLIES The subject was raised by A. Be- langer (Liberal, Russell.) who asked for information regarding the ex- perimental shipments from Alberta. Premier Ferguson said that at present 40.000 tons was on the way and 10.000 tons had arrived and had been allocated to 253 locations throughout the Province. ()n this amount. Sir Henry Thornton had agreed to the freight rate of $7 a ton. The. C. N. 11., however, had in- timated that they would not be able to continue at this rate. The question of coal shipments from Alberta was raised in the On- tario Legislature last week when Premier Ferguson outlined negotia- tions that had taken place and ex- pressed the opinion that it would only be a few years before Ontario would be entirely independent of foreign fuel.

Rather. he requested that he meeting be merely an informal discussion of the situation. Mr. Smith said that the territory re- ferred to was one of the few re- maining undeveloped ones, but said that the rise in building costs was the principal reason. The matter of telephones in the section under discussion had been before the company last year and had been turned down. It would cost the company “1,000 in build the line from Durham to Dornorh. and the business was not in sight that would justify them in going to this ex- penc‘llture.
