The dissatisfaction which is caused was bound to be de- trimental to efficiency.

The enthusiasm with which the change has been received by the employees is a good sign, for! It means that the new head of the | rallway system will have their hearty support and co-operation fn his ef- | forts to put it on a profitable basis. | Sir Henry's tG¢a, apparently, is that | he will operate the national ratlway system exactly as {f he were operat- ing a private concern, with a hungry | board of directors and shareholders waiting for dividends, and determin- | ed to have them.

The grand total of building and | construction done in Canada during [the year was $315,454,400, and this | total, while not the greatest in the | Mstory of Canada, is by far the larg- est since before the war, One im- portant point is that residences lead in the construction figures, houses valued at $102,161,200 having been jutie in the Dominion during the year. Canada is apparently building houses faster than anything else, and this makes one wonder whether the long predicted drop in house rents is very far off. Business buildings, valued at slightly over $78,000,000, come second on lst of what are term- ed first class constructions, and in- dustrial bufldings are third, with a total of $23,706,900. It és also in- teresting to note that while $1.129,- 300 were spent on building theatres, the sum spent on churches was $6,- 968,200, on schools $24,409,600, and on public buildings $18,945,900.

LJ --_ (Jack Warwick in Toledo Blade) yet as you look at any animal, a horse for inatance, your common Sense tells you that you have very much in common. Your flesh, your nificance of these figures is of more importance. They show that the de- mand for houses is being supplied at a fair rate of speed, that business conditions are beginning to warrant extensions and new construction, and that the industrial activities of blood, bones, nerves, vessels, diges- tive, nervous and respiratory systems are practically alike, You differ in brain power and in spivdtuality, but really not dn body. And thus you can truly eay that In so far as your body is concerned you are an animal. And that brings the country are such as to justify in- creased investments in buildings. In spite of the new construction, how- ever, reponts from all over Canada indicate that the demand is still as me to my point. If you have an ani- mal body why should you not care for it as a farmer cares for his horse, for instance? ™ x What does he do? { great as ever. If immigration increas- es as it is expected to do, this de- mand ie likely to be greater rather than less, and this will undoubtedly mean greater construction. With -in- creased population will come a great: er demand for homes, churches and schools, and all of this will mean steady growth in the construction bueiness of Canada. The growth of construction in Canada is very much like a enowball rolling downhill. As it goes along, it grows in size. In the wake of this industrial activity which is apparent, will come greater spending power on the part of the people. This will stimulate business and industry, and will create profits from which busi- ness expansions oan be met. There Will be a demand for miore factor fes, more business houses) more of- fices and stores, and in 'meeting this demand more and more efnployment will be provided. It is apparent that the lean years following the war are now over, and that the future holds a bright prospect for great develop- ment in Canada in every way. With growing demands for construction work, the towns and cities will again become prosperous, and this pros- perity will react on the Domindon as a whole so that many engineering Projects which have been long de- layed may ere long become possible. So the snowball grows, and as it grown Canada will go ahead towards an era of great prosperity and wealth than she bas ever before known. | THE HANNA ORDER GONE. It has not taken Sir Henry Thorn- ton very long to rescind the famous "Hanna Order," barring employees of the Canadian National Raliways trom taking any part in the politieal af- fairs of the country. This order, it will be recalled, was, a little over a year ago, the course of much dissat- isfaction amongst the railway em- Ployees, 'particularly when it meant the dismissal of three men who had First, he sees that it gets good food.
