On several occasions regret has been expressed locally that the Dominion Housing Act was not applied to Timâ€" mins and district. The unusual success cf the Home Improvement Act has made the situation all the more noticeâ€" able. While Timmins leads in the matâ€" ter of loans under the Home Improveâ€" ment Act, and while that Act has worked here remarkably well and with special advantage to all concerned, it is felt that new houses are an outâ€" standing need in Timmins. Houses owned by the people themselves would make the ideal solution of the housing problem for Timmins. Hence, the speâ€" cial feeling that of all plases this is the cone where the Dominion Housing Act could do its best work. Every enâ€" quiry in the matter, however, has been met with the reply that insurance and loan companies would not enter this field because it is a mining camp. One company eventually did enter, but ‘for Urging Application of Housing Act in the North Bitr THURSDAY. JULY 22ND. 1937 Honcurable C. A. Dunning, Esq Minister Finance, Ottawa, Canada.

Dunning Minister of Finance, Ottawa, Canada. prominent mining Indlviduais 111 Suoil a project as those in control reside elseâ€" where, either in Toronto, Montreal or some other large centre. There is not a great deal of capital available in this camp, for the simple reason that this is a young man‘s country and many of the inhabitants find that they require their earnings and capital either for the purpose of enlarging their businesses and expandâ€" ing or, in the case of the majority, for the purpose of raising families and building homes for themselves. Conserning the municipalities taking the place of an approved lending instiâ€" tution, I am very doubtful as to whethâ€" ar this could be brought about, inasâ€" much as these municipalities, having been faced with the necessity of proâ€" viding other required municipal facliâ€" ties, find themselves at present under a heavy debt and consequently with higsh assessment and tax rates. this It the In this connection I draw your atâ€" tenticn to the striking injustice which prevails in the mining camps. In the case of the Lake Shore Mines at Kirkâ€" land Lake (where the Aanalysis was made) statistics show that of the total amount paid by this gold mine for taxation of all kinds, less than 12 per cent. goes to the municipality. The other 88 per cent. is *taken either by the Dominion Government or the Proâ€" vincial Government. History of the various legislations shows that in the {first instance, our governing bodies rightly felt that the mining industry, being in its infancy, should be fostered. This ocstering took the dform of exempting mines and mining industries from assessment for municipal taxation and these exemptions are contained in the provisions of the Assessment Act. However, as the mining industry grew, the government felt that it could bear a share of the load and a special minâ€" ing tax was imposed and this particular tax all goes to the province. It is ‘hat in the case of Ontario the municiâ€" pality has been permitted to collect a certain income tax from the mines‘ profits but even it is not on aA slidng scale upwards, as in the case the taxes payable to the province, on tae contrary it drops after a certain figure is reached. My c:ntell$ion has always been that no special Provincial or Dominion tax should have been imposed on the minâ€" ing industry before the municipalities have been first given the right to assess and tax the same as in the case of cther industries in the province. This contention, has been repeatedly placed before the government and the last time was no later than in January of this year. These efforts have been all to no avail and the injustice continues. It is indesd a deplorable situation where the part of the country which is preducing such immense and much reeded wealth particuiarly during the trying years from 1927 to date, should e plundered and robbed, without thaugch* of the future. l 1 1 ind Last year, the amount the NOTULALUGU produced in new wealth was the treâ€" mendous sum of one hundred million diollars and almost all of this wealth, at least 90 per cent. of it, went south and to other parts of the Dominian. During the same periocd, less than five million came into the North. It would appear as though it is just a case of extracting all the golden eggs from the basket and then turning the land back to the jack rabbits and the Indians. There is no doubt in my mind ‘hat with sound planning, this great a case of extrac:ing all Ne from the basket and then turning the land back to the jack rabbits and the Indians. There is no doubt in my mind ‘hat with sound planning, this great ‘and can provide a good living for gengrations and generations to come. This, of course, requires the constant ~cordination between agriculture, timâ€" sering, mining, game and fisheries and highways.

Nevertheless to Guglielmo Marconi, whose Italianâ€"Irish ancestry no doubt endowed him with that love of myâ€" sticism which makes poets and leads restless explorers into the unknown, must be accredited the title of major pioneer and developer of wireless sigâ€" nals. He was the first to demonstrate the reality of the dreams of Faraday, Fleming, Lodge, Hertz, Edison, Voltaire and numerous Other maJjJor experimenâ€" ters with electroâ€"magnetic waves. Marconi was playing witi, apparatus to project signals through the atmosâ€". phere from his earliest schooldays at the Leghorn Technical School, under Professor Rosa, and his first brilliant and successful series of experiments date from June, 1895, when he found that, with a Hertzian form of resonator, he could pick up feeble echoes from the crude transmitter he had designed. From these experiments ne devolped the use of a vertical wire for both sending and intercepting. From this came what we now call sending and receiving serâ€" ials, or antennae. The early apparatbus of Marconi, from which sprang wireâ€" less telegraphy and radio sound signals, consisted of a coherer (ancsestor of the detectorâ€"amplifier) and a Morse printing instrument, all working from the relatively low wattage of storage batteries. His greates step toward amplification and greater distanceâ€" getling came with the introduction of chokeâ€"coilsâ€"introduced in the apparâ€" atus much after the fashion of the coils in the crystal sets of the early postâ€" war days of radio. Marconi‘s first signals were impressâ€" ed on the cutgoing carrierâ€"waves by the use of a spark gapâ€"that is, by the cntrolled opening and closing Oof a switch in the circuitâ€"the highâ€"tension current for the sparks teing produced from four brass ball dischargers, separâ€" ated by vaseline oill. The world, however, heard little of Marconi‘s developments until he went to England in 1896, where he took the first patent ever granted for a practical system of wireless telegraphy. His first major experiments were made before British Postoffice offizials, and his first transatlantic signals passed between the Old Country and Newâ€" foundland. Marconi in his day received numerâ€" ous honours from nearly every civilizâ€" ed nation in the world.
