2 North St., Barrie. 10 ])I'lVZlLU UWIlL`I'Sl1lp. In consequence of the existing con- ditions. there was, said` Mr. Beatty, :1 groneral and deep-rooted desire for railway economies, for the elimina- tion where possible of intensive com- pr~t.|i.ion and duplicate services and the utilization where feasible of joint inn1`cad of separate terminal facl1i- : tics. Tn ihis- connection the presi- i (lnnt. oi the Canadian Pacific Rail 4 way pointed out that the position of 1 his company `was unique. He stated 1 that many of the lines of railway 4 now formlnp: the National System 4 were not constructed as part of one u . uuuuyeu. Fniluro was almost inevitable, Mr. Beatty continued. since the under- takings were so far in advance oi` the country's existing: or imm-ediate future rermirements, and it did; not to him seem material whether the ovm"mnbitious projects were iaunch- : ed by the pzovermnent oi` the day or were conceived by individuals or companies. In each case these 1m- ` dertnkimxs received the financial. support oi` the pmvemment and the -approval oi the people of Canada. without which they could not have heen completed, -but in neither case I could their brenk-down be attributed to private ownership. Tn nnnunrnmnr-A of rho nvlgrur man- displayed by Canadians towards transportation matters. Mr. Beatty drew attention to the statement often heard that the present railway situa- tion in the Dominion was due to the failure in former years of private undertakings, the inference being that defects of private ownership and administration resulted in the estab- lishment of public ownership. Mr. Beatty pointed out that the principal causes of the present unsatisfactory conditions was undoubtedly the formation from time to time of poli- clan: of extensive new construction and duplication oi` existing: lines_ in most, if not all cases by the 1.:overn- : ment or with government assistance ` and in anticipation of a much greater 4 development than the country has 4 enjoyed."

Since the founding of the Standard Bank of Canada in 1873, the commercial progress of many of this country's most successful business houses is closely identied with the ser- vices of this institution. Each local branch of the Standard Bank is equip- ped to meet the nancial needs of the community. I ) HLFHU e.\puuuu.u1 u:s UUUIU. 'c1ClJUI!]p1.lSIl. As to the larger question of the , future relations which the two sys- tems would hear to one another, Mr. Beatty said: "We propose to work i in the greatest possible harmony with the National Railways consist- - ent with the interests of your pro- perty and of its owners. I am ' convinced that the vast majority of - Canadians, especially the business ~ interests of the country, do not de- . sorbed or menace-d.....` sire to see the company either ab I should - add, too, that no proposals of any kind from the company to the Gov- ernment or from the Government to ` the company have been made save those to do with the question of re- ducing economic waste through the elimination so far as possible or r1~-~1icate services."

Including other construction work throughout the province, the _\'ear`s prog`ramme calls for the building of more than two hundred miles of roads, includ- ing one hundred miles of concrete and forty miles of asphal.-tic concrete or tar penetration roads. Besides this, we are giving; all the stone roads of the province a surfacing treatment to protect the work al- ready done and add to the -comfort of the traveller. For the preserva- tion of this great investment, we re- quire the co-operation of the pub- lic, especially during the spring`, when the use of heavy trucks is de- structive to road-beds. Without this co-operation, the burden of mainten- ance will be greatly increased, and the public will be compelled to pay the cost. - ,`.-.....v...,, vu\. gnu Jana \\L'1'L` experimenting; with the explosive. l"uilin_2' to get it to go off on rst trial, they decixled to open it up and remove the powder.

The Commission realizes that the rapid increase in the demand for power necessitates the use of all our resources if we are to avoid a power shortage in the future. For this reason now that the Queenston (le- velopmeut l: approacl1iug' completion, we are pressing for the development of the meat powers of the St. Lawr- ence River.

Hon. G. I-loward Ferguson, Prem- ier of Ontario, in the 1` `t issue of Contract Record, reviews the con- struction enterprises confronting` the Province of Ontario and sees many reasons for condence and -hope1'ul- ness in the business outlook. The three basic industries of Ontario are agriculture, mining` and forest pro- duction. *For the present year the prospects for agriculture are \'er_\-' promising`; the growing season has opened auspiciously and the trend of prices is encouraging to the -pro- ducer. Not less e1icou1'a.gin_e: is the situation in the mining industry. The great extent and richness of our metallic deposits are now recog'nized by mining,-' experts the world over, and we may condently look for sub- .-`tantial progress in mining develop- ment. In regard to forest produc- tion Ave nd that it is still affected by general depression as well as by keen competition, and a policy of caution has been `observed, but re- cent reports are encouraging`. The outlook for business to-day is not all that we would like to see it be or all that it ought to be. Industrial en- terprise must see its way clear a rea- sonable distance ahead, and stability of conditions is essential to progress` The outlook for Ontario cannot be otherwise than the outlook for the whole Dominion. \/L. v4A\. plates t 2 I lThe Co | I 1 work ( there : 1\\ l.~..

The hotel company applied for and received a permit; to sell the beve1'ag'e and the sale has been _v;oing on Since May 21, it being -the only `place in town to handle it. The meeting` on 'Dhu1-s- day last followed a `protest by some of the stockholders against the action of the directors in selling the beer. They claimed that the stock in the company was sold under the promise that the King` George Hotel would be a temperance house, and that this agreenient had been violated by the sale of the new beer. Many of the shareholders claim that they had not been consulted by the hotel com- pany before a permit had been ask- ed `for. The question is viewed by many as a political joke, and the directors feel that the joke is on them. It was decided at the meet- ing to sell the hotel. EDRIUND HARDY, PJUS.

I The annual shareholders meeting oi the Canadian Pacific Railway ` is one of the important financial ` events of the year as naturally fol- lows from the position held by that company as a great national institu- tion the activities of which touch every branch of Canadian life. On the first Wednesday in every May the shareholders gather to hear the president tell of the company's past year and to elect directors to carry on its great work. At these meet- ings are always to be found many of the country`s leaders in industry, commerce and finance representing all parts of the Dominion, and the president's report is looked upon as an epitome of business conditions throughout the whole of Canada. Oi course, all the shareholders cannot attend, they are far too many and they are too widely scattered. par- ticularly in recent years when the holding of Canadian Pacific stock or bonds has greatly grown in popu- larity among the small investors of the country.
