Roads Will be Built in Mining Areas In the delegation from Ontario at Ottawa last week thers were the folâ€" lowing:â€"Premier. Hepburn; Hon. D. Croll, Minister of Welfare; Hon. Péeter Heenan, Minister of Lands and Porests; and Hon. T. B. McQuesten, Minister of Highways. At the conference in addition to the agreement in regard to roads for minâ€" ing areas, the two governments reached an agrsement as to the sum which Onâ€" tario will pay the Dominion for colâ€" lecting the new income tax passed at the last session of the Legislature. Hon. Mr. Hepburn would not name the amount the province agreed to pay for coli.â€"ction of the tax, but suggested that a satisfactory agreement had been arâ€" rived at after a conference with Hon. Mr. Ilsley, Minister of National Revenue. Despatches from Ottawa say that the 50â€"50 proposal for roads in the mining areas has been incorporated in the proâ€" gramme by Hon. Norman Rogers, minâ€" ister of labour, who has betn keeping first and foremost the idea of creating employment. The building of roads is expected to create a considerable amount of employment this summer, and so to be most desirable from this standpoint alone. In addition it will be of much value in facilitating mining in the older camps as \\ell as in the new ones. It is understood that the request of Hon. Mr. Hepburn for sufficient funds to the province for direct relief, so that the municipalities would not need to contribute, was not successful. Also it is understood that the Doâ€" minion refused to reconsider its deâ€" cision to reduce grants to the province for the summer months. Last summer under the Bennett government Ontario received a grant of $600,000 per month from the Dominion for direct relief. Last December this amount was inâ€" creased to $1,050,000 for thse winter Fur Storage Vaults Your furs are protected against all hazards in our modern After careful preliminaries, your furs are put away for the Summer in a healthy cold temperaâ€" ture.
