Whereas the development of Nort ern Ontario is vital to the people of Or tario and should be a business propos tion and not a political one; and as the people have a right to conside: 3. That all monies granted under the Northern and Northwestern Ontario Development Act should be used only after appropriations therefor have been iapproved by the Legislature in estiâ€" mates. showing the work proposed tco be done in each district, the estimated lcost, thereof, and the relation of the proposed work in each district to the | general development schemse. 4.

That the Minister oi> Lands and Forests and of Northsrn Developmeni should represent riding in Northern Ontario and should be citizen of Northern Ontario, familiar with its needs in order to give a closer contact with the people whose affairs he is particularly administering. 2. That substantial appropriations must be made from year to year in inâ€" creasing amounts as development proâ€" gresses. 5. Settlers and agriculture must be aided more generously and the Departâ€" ment of Agriculture should function in Northern Ontario, and roads shoulC precede settlement and should be conâ€" tiguous, so that clearings, drainage and roads would serve to better advantage and open up larger areas. 6. A system of annual bonusing . of settlers on basis of land cleared and work done should be introduced; and that the 160â€"acre farm should be reâ€" ctcred to the settler. This system is working out most effectively in the proâ€" vince of Quebec. Inasmuch as the outâ€" standing necessity in the development of Northern Ontario is thse construcâ€" tion of suitable roads to open up many of the present inaccessible and imporâ€" tant mining, timber, and agricultura‘l areas, that it is urgent that the Ontaric Government proceed more rapidly with road construction. And inasmuch as the settlers of Northern Onatrio have a hard task as piongers of the North, priority should be given to them in the ;matter of all road work employment, and that the prevailing standard wages 1HE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO bonusing . of cleared and pduced; and exceedingly onerous on the men who are holding mining claims during periâ€" ods of depression. So much is this so, that hundreds of mining claims, costing the prospector much in time and work, and thousands of dollars have been automatically cancelled through the inability of the work, fees and other Government charges required to comâ€" plete a title. If there is no intelligent prospecting, there can be no new imines found. B 11. The Mining Act showed therefore be amended so as to encourage and stimulate prospecting and lessen the burden of official fees, taxes and charges now exacted in connection with each individual mining claim and protect the individual prospector sO that he will not, through his misforâ€" tuns, lose his right to benefit from his discovery. 12. The development of mining proâ€" perties to production should be assisted by Government coâ€"operation in every possible way and by concessions and regulations which would allow and even compel a larger amount of the money raised for mining purposes to be spent in actual development work,. 13.
