He then subâ€" mitted the following resolution: Text of Recolution. "Whereas there is a divergence of opinion as to the proper location of the propgsed transâ€"Canada highway through Northern Ontario. "And whereas the proper location of the said road would require amongst cther fac:ors: "The p/lople in Nova Scc:ia and in British Columbia are going to be beneâ€" fited and must ‘be considered. The $21,000,000 of new wealth has been derived from , the route advocated by the association. The gold production this year will be second only to that of South Africa." Speaking for the Northern Ontario Asscciated Boards of Trade, Mr. Wright president, thought that the question should be approached from a national outlock. "TFhis is a national question, he stated, and the work will have to be paid by taxes derived from residents from coast to coast." "The road is not intended as a colâ€" onization road," he stated. "The lake shore route would be unsurpassed on the continent for its scenic beauty," he claimed. In that, it would be one of the principal atiractions of Ontario to attract tourists, he believed. Is Well Attended. __The conference was well attended. About 150 delegates were present repâ€" resenting the organized municipalities cf Northern and Western Ontario. Mayor R. Rowe, of North Bay, occuâ€" pied the chair. After welcoming the delegates on behalf of the city, the North Bay Board of Trade and the Molor League, he expressed the hope that some unanimous decision would be reached so that the construction of the road would be speeded up. J. E. Crawford, Fort William, was the first spsaker. He urged the lake shore route and was definitely opil:sed to the norâ€" _hern. Double Route for Highway Gets Support North Bay, Ont., July 8. â€"As a reâ€" sult of the Transâ€"Canada Highway conference. held here this afterncon, the following amendment to a resoâ€" lution given by <C. W. Wright, was unanimously carried: *"That this conâ€" ference make a recommendation to the Government of Ontario that they build the road from Sault Ste. Marie on to White River and through to Nirigon, and that the road be conâ€" nected up from Hearst to Horneâ€" payne and White River; and for every mile built between the Soo and White River, that one mile be built beâ€" tween Hearst and White River. And that we leave it to the Government as :o which line they want to call the Transâ€"Canada Highway into Chaâ€" pleau." During a discussion, which at several times became very heated, four difâ€" ferent routes were advocated, the norâ€" thern route, as suggested by Mr. Wrignt president of the Northern Ontario Asâ€" Boards of Trade, and Dr. Armâ€" strong, Cobalt; the southern or shore route supported by Hon. James Lyons Sault Ste Marie, and J. E. Crawford, Fort William; the compromise route, offered by G. B. Nicholson, M.P., Chaâ€" pleau; and another route to go east and west of a road to be constructed between Hearst and the Soo. This latâ€" ter was offered by F. Wood, Iroquois Falls, as a means of making a start in the near future. i l In the absence of any official report cf the prcceedings at the conference dependence must be placed on the newspaper reports. Here is one reprort appearing in several of the daily newsâ€" papers : â€" scciated Boards of Trade in resolutions passed at three different meetings of that body expressed â€"the considered cpinion of the people here. The Adâ€" vance understood that the committee from the Associated Boards was to emâ€" phasize the resolutions in question as the oft‘nion of this part of the North. The reports of the conference seen by The ‘Advance does not make it clear that this was done. It is a fact at any rate that soeme of the members of the committee from the Associated Boards were nct notified that they were to act and so were not present at North Bay. Last week The Advance had referâ€" ence to the soâ€"called conference at North Bay in regard to the route to be selecied for the Transâ€"Canada Highâ€" way through the northern part of Ontaric. The conference went on reâ€" cord as approving the building of two rcutes. This decision means nothing, becauseo the conference was dominated by Sault Ste Marie and Sudbury, as expected. This of Northern Onâ€" tario.â€"was represented by a delegation | from the Northern Ontario Associated Bcards of Trade and by a few represâ€" entatives cf municipalities. The genâ€" eral feeling of this part of the North was ‘that the Northern Ontario Asâ€" soclated Boards of Trade in resolutions Text of the Resolutions Submitted to the Meeting Called by North Bay and Organized by Sault Ste.

Whereas: The financial position of the municipalities is such that they are not in a position to undertake any large works of such magnitude as will have any considerable effect upon the unemproymen: question. Whereas: The present and the fuâ€" ture outlook for addi.icnal employment is by no means bright. Whereas: During the last twelve months much employment has been furnished which could not have been vouchsafed but for the help, financial, given by the Provincial and Federal Governments. Whereas: One of the greatest, if not the greatest, problems facing Canada at the moment is the problem of abâ€" sorbing the large number of citizens who find themselves without employâ€" ment. Kirkiand Lake Resolution The North Bay Nugget publishes the following as the resolution submitted to the conference by Kirkland Lake:â€" Others who spoke were: G. B. Nicholâ€" son MP., Chapleau; Frank Wood, Iroquois Falls; Dr. Armstrong, Coâ€" balt; Mr. Simpson, Chapleau; Mayor Mageau, Sturgeon Falls; Mr. King, Port Arthur; Mr. Anderson, Kapuskaâ€" sing; John Clark, Englehart; Mr. Drew, Timmins; and Mr. Claremont, Cochâ€" rane. E. G. Murphy, Fort William, supâ€" the stand taken by Mr. Lyons. Chapleau Difficulty, Mayor Grigg, of Bruce Mines, was the first to pave the way in the arâ€" riving at any decision. "I am sorry that some have spoken of the muskeg some of the rocks and wastes and others of the clay belts," he said. th Fred Labarge, president of the Sudâ€" bury Board of Trade, strongly advoâ€" cated the formation of a small comâ€" mittee, the conference to support any route to be decided upon by them. "All that is nseded is 190 miles to complete it." ting fcrest, building ditches and workâ€" ing on roads than have to give them a handout. Don‘t let us theorize about building through unpcpulated sections. As far as I have been able to follow, there are three or four projected routes. The road around by Nakina is about 25 years ahead of the times. We say bring a road from Hearst to Hornepayne and then along to White River. If you build that road you serve 95 percent. of the peorNe of Northern Ontaric. There are no engineering difâ€" ficulties in this road. There are alâ€" ready 175 miles of the road built. "Now, thsrefore, be it resolved, that this conference held in North Bay on July 8, 1931, representing the organized cocmmunitiese of Northern Ontario, do hereby request the Provincial Governâ€" ment to immediately implement their | promise and make the necessary aerial "And, further, that the Government be asked to base its decision upon the data thus obtained, and then to proâ€" ceed at the earliest possible moment with the work of construction; "And further, that a committee from this conference be empowered to place this resolution before the Govâ€" ernmen} immediately." When put to a vote, the resolution was lost. The amendment to it, moved by Hon. Jamss Lyons and seconded by Mr. King, Port Arthur, given in full above, carried unanimously. Urge Both Routes. "No cone could expect one route tc be near to cities as far apart as the Sco and Cochranse," Mr. Lyons stated "We should urge both routes. There are thousands of men out of work. It is better for them to be engaged in cutâ€" surveys and by all other means cbtain the indispensable technical knowledge requisite :o the proper selection of the rcute. I0r Ccommuities adjacent thereto, to be connected to said road. "And whereas the Provincial Governâ€" ment have repeatedly asserted that they do not possess this essential inâ€" formation, but have promised to cbtain it by aerial surveys and other methâ€" asiGeration i of and provision ricent thereto, to be : the Government | decision upon the | and then to proâ€"‘ possible moment Toronto Mail and Empire:â€"A Milâ€" waukee policeman fired at a dog and wounded four children, which prcbably is a record of some kind. __ Frank Wood, Troquois Falls, referred to Mr. Nicholson‘s remarks about the length of time a survey could be made jn. With present airplane equipment a survey could be made in five weeks, not five years. On July 2, Premier Henry stated that aerial surveys were to be started at once. "Let us do something to relieve unemployment." He moved "that the Provincial Govâ€" ernment be urged to immediately conâ€" struct from Soo to Hearst to aid unâ€" employment and as soon as aerial surâ€" veys, now in progress, are completed that the government immediately comâ€" mence the westerly extension of thes Transâ€"Canada highway from the best point on this road." ‘ i â€"The road would serve many now prosperous farmers who have not a road, he said. From Nakina to Hyâ€" dro is a wonderful scenic country. "Canada first, the road to serve the greatest number," he said, "should be the motto, and I hope to see one or two roads started as scon as possible." He advised an aerial survey of the routes and get ‘to work. He seconded the moticn moved by Mr. Wright. The Transâ€"Canada highway has a map he said showing profiles, and other feaâ€" tures of the route from Hearst to Hyâ€" dro. Dr. Armstrcng, Cobalt, as a resident for 25 years, asked that some unanimâ€" ity be evidenced in the conclusions arâ€" rived at. He would like to have a loop via the Soo. He would support a route via Chapleau and Oba, but he preâ€" ferred the route via Hearst and Hydro and north of Long Lac. He said he believed it would be the shortest route. It would be in striking distance of railways to Hearst, to Hydro and on to Fort William. These railways would benefit the nationally owned and provincially owned railways. It would cost about $3,000,000 from Hearst to Hydro. It could be built quicker, easier and at less money than any other road. : ) Advecates North Route â€" President Wright, of the Northorn Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, made an excellent address, advocating the Northern route. He told of the | preomises made by Hon. R. B. Benneit dqduring the Dominion election camâ€" riign, with the conference to the conâ€" struction of this highway. Now he ha,s? passed on to the province of Ontario’ the work of locating such a road. This | is a naticnal question and the work | will be paid for from taxes derived from residents from csast to coast. It, should be appreached from a national sutlock. In advocating the Northern oute he drew aitention to the $21,000,â€" 000 of new wealth that was produced along this route. He believed that eventually the real Transâ€"Canada route | would be almcest a straight line from @uebec through Cochrane to Winnipeg. He then presented his resolution given below. t for the first of such highways, but puts itself on record that the decision shall be left to the Government as to which of such highways shall be built in the first place as the result of their conâ€" isideration of the results of the surveys Iand reports now being made for them. In addition to the above municipalities, Boards cf Trade and other organizaâ€" tions here represented undertake as far ‘as possible to refuse countenance to any propaganda for any particular route for the first Transâ€"Canada highâ€" !way. but they also pledge their wholeâ€" hsarted assistance to the building of the second highway as soon as the first is.completed. The I ference fcllowin municipalities of that part of the proâ€" vince of Ontario known as Northern Ontario, ask and resprectfully request the Provincial Government to complete the survey, now under way, at the earâ€" liest possible moment and with the asâ€" sistance of the Federal Government inaugurate the work with the least possible delay, and further in view of the undoubted fact that ultimately there will be at least two, if not mpre., highways traversing the Province cf Ontario from east to west, this meeting does not specify any particular route Nugget in its report of the conâ€" last; week at North Bay has the Hamilton Montreal Quebec Otta w a London, Ont.

He had left his ear standing downtown and someone took the motor meter off the radiator cap. Nothing else on or in the car was disâ€" turbed, but the loss is to be regretted.
