He in- structed headquarters staff here to de- liver to him Saturday morning docu- ments and other information. Communications from the Conserva- tive governments headed by Hon. How- ard Ferguson and Hon. George S. Henry and the administration of Hon. E. C. Drury to T. and N. O. executives dealing with the extensxon are sought by the commissioner. Trend of the inquiry has indicated curtailment of the service from Coch- rane to Ontario’s seaport at Moosonee. It is considered possible the commis- sioner will recommend operation of mixed freight and passenger trains over the Moosonee brancn from North Bay at intervals. 3 Claims Deficit of $8,360,000.00 A “true balance sheet" of the Temis- kaming and Northern Ontario Railway shows an actual deficit of $8,360,000 for that road as of Oct. 31, 1933. This is the finding of Harry W. Steele. Ottawa accountant, who is associated with Commissioner Armand Racine in the current investigation of the provinciaily-owned line. pairs Janitor Hume said ordinarily Chief Clerk Herbert is in charge of the files and it seemed unusual for Odlum to be sorting out the files. For at least five days, he asserted, he burned “from 500 to 600 pounds of paper daily.” Mr. Odlum had directed the selection of files for destruction. witness declared. Rolling Stock in Bad Condition The T. and N. O. is forced to use a large number of cars from other rall- roads and 50 per cent. of all. rolling stock needs repairs, it was revealed at the investigation. Further deterioration would place the road in a serious condition said Thomas R. Ross, master mechanic, who testi- fied facilities for maintenance were insufficient. Appropriation for maintenance of equipment is not adequate, Mr. Ross asserted, and'a continuous reduction in the appropriation has been made during the last 10 years. “Lack of working hours and labour," was the reason given by Mr. Ross for necessity of repairs and he said his superior officers were aware of the situation as he had furnished them mg of not in Phones LOGâ€"106 TlMMlNS the destruction of files and did truct Mrdelum to destroy files would not consider destroyzng list riation for maintenance of t is not adequate Mr. Ross and a continuous reduction pprcpriation has been made e last 10 years. vf working hours and labour," 'eason given by Mr. Ross for of repairs and he said his officers were aware of the as he had furnished them st of cars‘ which needed re- Calm fluid-ad Brandon Sunrâ€"It takes 1.500 nutsI in on. to hold a car together, but. only one to inberes scatter it all over the landscape. year. men k1 Should be a Fair Deal for All in Woods Industry foreshadows the “to look after timber camps it see that the wo At the same tim gotten by the reclpients.

Kingston Last Week The New Llskeard Speaker last week sayszâ€"“The very large circle of friends of the family of the late Mrs. Sarah Jane Montgomery. widow of Robert Montgomery, will sympathize with them in the death of their mother, which took place at the home of her daughter. Mrs. James Colquhoun, in Kingston, Ont., on Monday last, August 20th. For a considerable time the de- creased has been a sufferer from an incurable ailment and her death was not a surprise to those who were in close touch with the family. Inter- ment took place in New Li'skeard on Wednesday afternoon. with many members of the family gathered from various parts of the province. The deceased was one of the pioneers of the North. and her many acts of kindness to those in trouble will never be for- Yearly Losses The losses during the corresponding periods in recent years are as follows. the report says: $869,800 in 1933; $426.- 400 in 1932; $285,000 in 1931; $257,500 in 1930 and $219,000 in 1929. years aggregates a considerable sum. In fact. it is $8,182.000, exclusive of course, of such interest payments which the road has made to the gov- ernment from time to time." Auditor Steel's latest report shows a net loss of $352,300 for the Nipissing Central from 1915 to 1933. inclusive. The loss of $288.00 charged to the N .C. R.'s electric line from C-Cbalt to Hailey- bury is included in this amount. Operation of the T. N. 0. during the first eight months of 1934 meant a further loss of $728,200, according to another report produced by Auditor ernmen 000.000.

The matter was quite ob- viously arranged by a few members of council before the council meeting and without any consideration for the com- mittee concerned. For sheer blunder- ing this has all previous blunders beaten to a frazzlc.

Compet - tion from Russia of 1ecent years and r other countries had also contributed to the present delinquent state of the ‘6 industry. ' t Another important matter which the ‘ c 1 t i r n l {D H. 1 lumbermen requested was the abolish- c ment of formei leasing of large a1eas l to speculators, who bought leases in iv the expectation and with the know- 1 c s ledge that they would be re-sold to operators. unpaid dues were paid. according to a Queen‘s Park rumor some time ago. Hon. M-r. Heenan explained that no action had been taken in regard to this up to the present time, and he inâ€" timated that assurances had been giv- en the lumbermen that such action would not be attempted until the mat- ter had been given further considera- tion by the government. In asking for a general survey of the lumbering situation the delegation, which represented Mr. Heenan said 100 per r‘ent. of the districts devoted to that industry in the North. the (le- putation felt that such a survery might place the industry permanently on its feet. The changed conditions since most of the timber limits had been leased was largely responsible for mak- ing present departmental regulations antiquated.
