On December 23rd, Mr.: Langdon wrot2 Mr. Heenan asking for the reâ€" sults of the surveys promised by him in the previous summer. No reply was réeceived, so another letter, â€"dated Febâ€" ruary 4th, was sent Mr. Heenan. This was turned over to the assistant chief engineer of the department of northâ€" en development, who states that the alternative (the North Bayâ€"Hearst) route had "reteived consideration," but he made no msntion of surveys. Work may be done on the road this summer, but not as a transâ€"Canada road, he said. He did, however, give the final routing of the section of the transâ€" Canada highway that has besen under discussion for so many years. This is the way he puts it: "Recontâ€" ly the highway (the transâ€"Canada) has been designatsd by Provincial Government ang approved by the Fedâ€" eral Government to continue from North Bay to Sudbury, to Blind River, to Eault Ste. Marie, to White River. Construction was authorized last July from White River to Schreiber and work is proceeding. From Schreiber to Nipigon to Port Arthur, Fort William, English River, Dryden, Vermilion ‘Bay, Kenora and Manitoba boundary the road has been under construction for several years past anda it is expected it will be completed from Schreiber to the Manitoba boundary during summer.‘" Feeling that the Northern Ontario Boards of Trade would still wish to know whether or not the promised survey of the North Bayâ€"Hearst road has been made or nbt, Mr. Langdon wrote again on Monday to Mr. Meader, asking for the results of the surveys, "which we presume were made." Ceomplete Correspondence Following is thns complete corresponâ€" dence: Were the surveys of the proposed link in the transâ€"Canada highway from North Bay to Cochrane and Hearst ever made, as promised to a delegation of men who interviewed the premier and the Hon. Peter Heenan? Has the North Country routs ever been seriâ€" cusly considered by the provincial govâ€" ernment? These are two questions that appear to bz2 answered in correspondence which has recently passed between W. Langdon, president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, and‘the department of lands and forâ€" estsz of the Ontario Government. You will recall that during the past summer a delegation from points along the Ferguson Highway attended upon the Honourable Premier ang yourself and â€"not only advocated the routing of the transâ€"Canada Highway by way of the Ferguson Highway to Cochrane, to Hearst, thence westerly, but pointed out strong reasons therefor. Honourable Peter Heenan, Minister of Lands and FPorests Toronto, Ontario. Dear Sir:â€"re: Canada Highway Ask Result of Surveys of TransCanada Road We have at all times felt that proper surveys would our contention. At such time, if you will recall, you promised that all necessary surveys would be made. Within the past week or ten days it has been announceqd through the newspapers that the transâ€"Canada Highway has been routed west of North Bay and around the north shore Oof Lake Superior, Accoraingly this association would appreciate receiving from you without delay a full report on the surveys which we take it were made.

An alternative route has received consideration from North Bay to Cochâ€" rane, Hearst, Hornepayne and Mobert. It is expected if approval is obtainable for expenditures from Ottawa that some work will be dons during the coming season on this road but not as a Transâ€"Canada Highway undertaking.

Asks Survey R.sults Not satisfied with the information contained in the above letter and anâ€" xious to have the results of the survey, if any, Mr. Langdon wrote the followâ€" ing. On the 23rd of December I wrote you in connection with the above matter. As yet I have not been favoured with a reply and I would apporsciate hearing from you in this connection at the earâ€" liest possible date. Yours truly, W. O.

Five we*ks later, having received no reply, the following letter was mailed: February 4th,. 1936 Dear Sir:â€"re: Routing of Canada Highway: C. H. Meader, Esq. Assistant Chief Engineer, Office of the Deputy Minister of Northern Development, Queen‘s Park, Toronto, Ontario. Dear Sir:;: re: Canada Highway The delegation satisfied with this realizeq that these its contentions. In the month of May, 1935, when a strong delegation attendsd upon the premier and the Honourable Mr. Heenan, the delegation was assured that all necessary surveys would be made in connection with the proposed routing. In my last letter I requested particuâ€" lars concerning the surveys which we presume were madse. Will you kindly furnish me with the same, Yours truly, W. O. Langdon, President of the Northern Ontario Associated Bords of Trade. Awaiting an early reply Yours truly, Minister of Northern Developâ€" Tcronto, Ont., Feb. 7th, 1936.

This is particularly true in regard to the enforcement of such laws as those in regard toâ€"blindâ€"pigging, highâ€" grading and gambling. In regard to the latter, there is no question but that gambling is a weakness of many up in this country. It is easy to reply, and probably more or less true that unless people were ready to gamble they wouldn‘t be here. At the same time there are other features to gambling that are not as easily accepted. For instance a man frequents a gambling joint and spends his . paycheck there, with the result that his wife and family suffer. Well, people here are not so ready to take a chance on that sort of thing. Or young fellows become adâ€" dicts of the gambling craze and are in danger of becoming little better than bums and cadgers. Well, that is cerâ€" tainly not so good! "With the town of Timmins comâ€" paratively free of blindpigs, why not clean up on the gambling joints?" This is a question asked more than once recently. That is where, law enforceâ€" ment gets back to the specially difficult region. Perhaps, the worst gambling places are not easy to catch. Some of them are duly licensed by the governâ€" ment, and in such cases it is difficult indeed, to secure convictions. The North Bay Nugget in an editorial article on the matter this week says:â€" "Strange as it may seem, the Dominâ€" ion and Ontario governments are directly responsible for considerable grief being visited upon municipaliti®s in the licensing of clubs which, it has been frequently established, are operâ€" ating solely as gambling joints and, for more than most part, without much regard for prescribed regulations. "Few municipalities of any size have escaped the ill effects of these soâ€"called clubs. Sudbury, Timmins, Kirkland Lake, and North Bay have proved to be so appealing for this form of vice that no less than eight licenses have been issued in one mining centre. "Municipal police are powerless to check the activities of these licsgnsed joints for the reason that privileges held under government authority make it impossible for them to conduct proseâ€" cutions as duty dictates. Authoritiss issued by the governments permit these clubs to carry on gambling which, acâ€" cording to statutes and municipal enâ€" actments, is unlawful.

These clubs serve no good purpose, whatsoever. They are not identified with any worthwhile activity, and it is doubtful whether the governments can offer any good reason for their existence., "This effort by Kirkland Lake at crushing vice should be taken up by every municipality concerned and in such a the governments cannot disregard their plea."
