Dr, Kaiser's Statement is as . Follows: In' Neglected State "In the Towmnghip of Markham, one mile north of Unionville on the east side of the road, I found about six weeks ago, the oldest rural cemetery in the Home Dis« trict of the Province of Ontario. It was in a neglected and dis- creditable condition, but from an historic standpoint of incalcul- able value to our country. I paid a second visit to this same ceme- tery last Saturday, in company with my old friend, Mr, A. J. H.

Ontario's share of the work, that is, the part of the project devoted purely to water power, will not be under this commis sion's supervision.
