(39b) SPEAKER TELS OF ACHIEVEMENTS TORONTO BOARD (Continued from Page 1) in important towns until 1881, when the London Chamber of Commerce, ncw the largest Chamber in the { world with over 8,000 members, was formed. | In Canada similar organizations were formed as Boards of Trade, Halifax, I believe, is the oldest, having been organized about 1803 Quebec followed: in 1809, St. John in 1821, and the Toronto Board of Trade in 1845, You will, I am sure, pardon me if I attempt to illustrate "The Com« | munity Responsibility of a Cham- ber of Commerce," by drawing from the activities of the Toronto Board | of Trade, with which, of course, I am most familiar Excel- | The Toranto Board of Trade was | really organized in 1844, but oper- ated informally for several months before incorporation in 1845, when the City had a population of 18,420 For the first twenty years of its ex- i=tence, tome of the matters which engaged the attention of the Board may be summarized as follows: Strenuously opposed an obnoxious | Assessment Bill and played an im- portant part in the framing of a new Assessment Act. Recommending abolition proper Usury Laws, of coins. im- | | waterfront, Urging the use of Canadian Silver | improved harbour facilities. currency and withdrawal of English | projects took many years of con- | stant urging and tnen of negotiation, of this body was changed to Board of Transport Commissioners, Taxation Big Problem : If one subject has been dealt with more exhaustively than any other, it is perhaps that of taxation. In the Federal, Provincial, and Civic fields, the Toronto Board of Trade has been alert on 'every opportune occasion to urge reductions in tax. ation, and time and again has been instrumental in co-operating with other interested bodies in bringing the commercial viewpoint before the various legislative bodies s0 success= fully that the desired result has been either wholly or partially ob- tained. In the matter of civic tax- ation the Board has been particu- larly active. For the past five years, the Board L's represented to the civic administration in To- ronto that it is essential that the whole field of civic revenues, ex- penditures and taxation should be reviewed, to ascertain what adjust ments can be made to meet the needs of the iinancial responsibili- ties of the City, and at the same time place the burden of taxation as equitably as possible upon all concerned. Incidentally, I have frequently thought, from my observation of | political life in Canada, that some day we should abolish the Federal vote so far as Federal employees are concerned, they retaining, of course their Municipal and Provincial votes. Provincial 2mployees should rot have a Provincial vote, but, of course, would retain their Federal and Municpial votes, and Municipal employees should not have a Municipal vote, but would, of course, rete n their Federal and Provincial votes Studied Sewage Disposal Another instance of the co-oper- alive relationship between the City | of Toronto and the Board was in connection with a new Sewage Dis. posal Plant, for which the citizens apnroved an expenditure of $5,600,- 000 on January 1st last, a group of advisory engineers in 1933, the expenfiture involved was $20,428,000. On the advice of ite Engineering Advisory Committee, which is composed of professional engineers who give freely in an advisory capacity on matters of an engineering nature, the Board recommended the removal of certain restrictions which had been placed upon the Consultants in making their report. 'This recom- mendation was adopted with the re- cult that the cost was reduced to $15,023,000, Subsequent develop- ments a review of the proposal in the light of these new developments. The City adopted the proposal and in- vited the Board to nominate some of the personnel Review. The Board's were appointed and the Board of Review, which reported in the Fall of last year, recommended a partial treatment plant at a cost of $5.- 474000 capable of enlargement, if | necessary, to complete treatment plant at a total cost of $9.500.000. As will be noted this co-operation with the City on the part of the Board of Trade was largely respon- sible for the saving of some millions of dollars Toronto's Waterfront Early in its history, the Toronto Board of Trade commenced its campaign for the abolition of the dangerous level crossings on the and subsequently for These Protesting against the enactment | but the viaduct and the Toronto | of an imperfectly framed Bankrup- | cy and Insolvency Bill. Advocating the construction of the | Toronto, Simcoe and Huron Rail- | way "to promote and extend our | agricultural interests". | Urging remedies in postal deliver- } les from England. Welcoming the contemplated line of ocean steamers direct to Europe | from the St. Lawrence. | Encouraging the opening up of [the Ngrth West Territories for | trade with the East. Petitioning for the publication of trade and port statistics. Advocating a Union Depot in To- onto for the various railways then running into Toronto, and continu. ing a general watchfulness over the formation of doubtful institutions. Favored Empire Trade As far back as 1866 when the Reciprocity Treaty was abrogated | by the United States, the business men of Toronto turned their at- tention to cultivating the British market, This was the beginning of the Board's interest in the de- velopment of trade within the Em- pire, and it is of particular interest to note that the Toronto Board of Trade was the first organized body to give public expression of approval to the principles of preferential trade within the Empire. The sound- ness of this policy has been amply proven in recent years. To-day the purchase of British goods is of the utmost importance in building up dollar eredits in Canada to pay for Britain's purchase of war supplies here, In the year 1870, the Board ad- vocated free postal delivery for the cities and towns of Canada, which was ectablished in Toronto in 1885. The following year the enlarging of the Welland Canal and the deepen- ing of the St, Lawrence Canal and river navigation was promoted. The standardization of the form and conditions of Fire Insurance policies was encouraged. For 25 vears from 1879, the To- ronto Beard of Trace constantly and persistently urged 'he estab- lishment of , Railway Commission for Canada. n 1904 this objective Wwa® accomvlished, and the Board °f Railway Commissioners for Can- da appointed. Recently the name ' Harbour front of to-day are to a great extent the fruits of the long labours of the Board, bearing elo- quent testimony of its beneficial in. fluence upon the City's development throughout the years, Shippers are wel] aware of the beneficial effect of the competition of waterborne traffic in the matter of transporta- tion charges. When it is realized that since 1921 the waterborne frade of the Toronto Harbour. has increased fourteenfold from 248.- 363 tons to 3,580.561 tons in 1939, you will appreciate the importance of the harbour to the .trade and commerce of the city. Those who are familiar with the recreational facilities in the Beach and Sunny- side areas of Toronty will also agre= that our waterfront improvements have been a great boon to the citi- zens generally. Fathered Hydro Not many know that it was the Toronto Board of Trade which fifst considered the 'feasibility of re- celving electrical energy from Ni- agara Falls" Investigation was commenced by the Board in 1900, and eventually led up to the for- mation of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario, which will always stand as a monument to the genius of the late Sir Adam Beck. Dr. T. H. Hogg, Chairman and Chief Engineer of the Hydro-Elec- tric Power Commission of Ontario, in speaking to the F"mpire Club of Canada on Avril 11th last, stated: "A load increase of only ten per cent. per annum for two years over the primary load of December last would mean that every resource of our Niagara System including the last, block of Quebec power not due until 1944 would be needed to meet the demand for primary power as of December, 1941, while providing only a very moderate reserve for safety. Aliowing for the growth oi Fastern Ontario and Georgian Bay Systems which for a year: or two will probably be supplied by trans fer from the Niagara System, the working reserve wii be wiped ou! entirely in December, 1941." .This situation has been made much more critical by the increas- ing demands for power for the manufacture of wor supplies and other 'kindred purposes. Another Important consideration is the dif- When this | project was first revorted 1)on by | their services | in the methods of sewage | dizposal led the Board to advocate | of a Board of | nominees | | this country ficult position in which the Province of Ontario will be placed in com- peting for new industries with neighboring provinces where an abundance of power is available, I wonder if we all realize that the Ontario Hydro's magnificent service to the Province has been without any cost to the taxpayers of On- tario, the entire cost being contri= buted by the users of hydro-electric power, Royal Commission's Report Recently there has been placed before the people «tf Canada the Report of the Royal Commission on Dominion-Provincial Relations pre- pared after over two years of study by one of the ablest commissions ever appointed in this country. The first volume of the Commis- | sion's report contains the finest review of Canadian history and economic and social developmers which Canadians have been privi- leged to read. I strongly recom- mend that this volume be carefully studied by every Canadian. The recommendations of the Commis sion, which concern "the re-allgee- tion of the burdens of Goyernment between the Dominion and the provinces," and "are made with a eral system to meet the stresses and strains that have developed during the seventy years which have elapsed since it was devised and so enabling national unity to be main. lems including the allocation of Jurisdiction, public finance. admin- istrative economics, and Dominjon- Provincial aspects of transportation which are of vital concern to all governments -- Federal, Provincial and Municipal -- and to a!l Cana- dian citizens, Co-Ordinate Appeals The multiplicity of appeals for resulted in an increasing demand on the part of both subscribers and workers for the conservation of time and manpower in both local and national solicitations Ing more apparent as our war pro- gramme develops | ment of both men and women In | war services of all kinds, the speed. ing up of industry in the production of war materials requiring constant attention of executives and em- | ployees generally, and the increas- and more difficult for organizations appealing to the public for funds to obtain sufficint organizers and collectors and reach their objectives in funds to carry on their war services and esseniin! social service work The ideal might be two joint campaigns annually, one for war services and one for charitable pur. poses. munities. Local Wap Services | In every community of any size, | there are g multiplicity of organiz- | ations carrying on various war ser. vices, such as the provision of ree- | reational facilities for troops training, entertainment and educa- tional' opportunities for troops, | libraries for training camps, the ade | justment of social and other prob- | lems of the families of men on ac- | tive service, maintenance of men | from distant places who have of- fered their services for active service | ut have not vet been accepted, | reception and placement in Cana- dian homes of British war guests, and other kindred activities. In | Toronto, under the leadership of i the Toronto Board of Trade, the | Greater Toronto War Service Ad- visory Council has been formed ot representatives of Business Mens Clubs, Service Clubs and other | bodies carrying on or promoting | such activities, through which dupli- | cation is being avoided and effici- ency ensured in these essential ger- vices. Tourist Trade | Propaganda in the United States, { undoubtedly promoted by enemy agents, and designed to stop the | flow of American visitors to Can- ada, and the misunderstanding which arose with regard to United States passport regulations, resulted in an almost complete cessation of tourist traffic in Canada in the early part of the present tourist season, At no time in our history were American dollars more needed in. Canada with which to finance British and Canadian war purchases in the United States. The prompt action of many Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce in co- operation with Tourist Burean, transportation companies, and gov- ernment and other agencies in de- veloping special efforts to revive tourist travel to Canada, give promise of success to the point of ensuring 'of substantial credit bal- ance in Canada from tourist traf- fic. Early steps should be taken for a continuance of this work looking to an enlarged tourist trade next vear. While the benefits de- rived by merchants and those cater- ing to the tourist trade in many municipalities from tourist expen- ditures is substantial, the accumu- lation in Canada of U.S. exchange from this source is of the utmost importance in our war financing. In Toronto a joint committee of interested bodies formed under Board. of Trade auspices is doing splendid work in the development of this trade. Assimilation of War Guests Canadians are being privileged to act as hosts of British war guests for the duration of the war. Prob- ably only a small percentage of those who will ultimately come to Canada have as yet arrived. It is anticipated that many of these will become permanent: residents of and it may also be that in due time their parents and other adult members of their famil- ies will make their future homes in Canada.

Some adults' who have accom panied the children with the ine tention of remaining here until tie close of the war are seeking emp ment in the hope of becoming sustaining, and are meeting ¢ culties in this respect. Ro Immigration SAE Immigration is another subjet which requires a great deal of thought. The view has receptly been expressed by a Canadian ¢ zen who has spent much time many years in g study of the lem that: oiaiiin poy There is already evidence thet - the people of war-torn Europe age looking to Canada: as the countsy in. which to make their future homes, where they will be free: from the troubles which have beset them for many years.
