The report of the Highway mittee as presented to the last ing of the Temiskaming Ass Boards of Trade is so import oards of Trade is so importal this country in general and to district in particular that it is : below in full. The resolution p by the Associated. Boards in matter is also given as read by chairman of the Committee, Mr. A. Smith, and unanimously end @nHairman ol tne COIMIMIILLCC, ML,. UCUV,. A. Smith, and unanimously endorsed by the meeting. The resolution follows:â€" That whereas under the Provincial Highway Scheme $2§,000,000 is being spent, 40% of which is paid by the Dominion of Canada, 40% by the Proâ€" vince of Ontario and the balance by the different counties through which the different permanent Highways are being constructed. And whereas the ultimate object of | the Federal Government is to create a Highway from Coast to Coast and the best and most naturat route through Greater Ontario is via North Bay to! Cochrane and thence West to Winnipâ€" eg through to the Greater Clay Belt. And whereas the proposed Highway would make aceessible to the travellâ€" ing Public the greater natural reâ€" sources in lumbering, pulp mining and agricultural and result in the inv est- ment of greatly increased eapital 1 the development of the ®atural reâ€" sources of this District. Its Social Value. And whereas the proposed Highway is a long felt want, especially in the Agricultural Districts as a connecting link between the different Colonizâ€" ation roads, resulting in increased and more congested settlements solving to a great extent the educational quesâ€" tion of the rural Districts and giving opportunity for increased Social adâ€" vantage. And Whereas the Districts through which the proposed Highway would pass have not as yet been organized with County Standing, this Board would respectfully suggest that the financial burden=usually assumed by the Counties be assumed by the Proâ€" vince of Ontario and paid from part of the revenue usually received from NortlWern Ontario. Therefore be it resolved by this the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade that copies of the resolution approved by this Board be forwarded to the Honorable Premier Drury and to the Honorable Members of tae Cabinet asking that the proposed High way be included in the General Proâ€" vincial Highway Scheme and construc ted along the lines laid down and as near as possible to the proposed route as per plan submitted. Benefits and Cost of the Road. The report of the committee folâ€" lows :â€" Your Committee will endeavour to embody herein a synopsis of the beneâ€" fits which would‘ be derived by this District should this proposed Highâ€" way be constructed. Naturally it would be difficult to enumerate each point of ‘benefit as it is readily underâ€" stood that the subject is too broad. Speaking generally for the different Clay Belts the all important question is the increasing of the Settlers on the Land. Nothing could accomplish this more satisfactorily or more rapidly than the construction of this Highâ€" way. _One big point to consider is not the fact of the land that the Highway would actually open up, but the fact that it would be a focus for other roads. With this as an objective the work of the Northern Development Branch would be much simplified and roads would Jbe built where they would do the most good to the most people. There is no doubt that the different Clay Belts one day will be a rich farming country. A great many settiers only live on the land a few months in the year, this would be overcome with good allâ€" year roads. To a farming community the economic advantage of a road uniâ€" formly good at all seasons is greater than might appear at first glancee. It may in many instances amount pracâ€" tically to a saving equal to the entire cost of hauling by perâ€" mitting the work to be dore at times when other work is impossible thus making@ men and teams available for ty to use The r ilso of advantag weather that men itvy in A € 11 L T ind teams ava eood weather. road at any season is re in the independence it will make it possâ€" inta THr . iCUPINE ADVAXNK important ot 11 1 by the Mr. Geo. endorsed st meetâ€" sociated the con( > tThus »1e f(n‘ 1e abil to o1 is a very important advance in educaâ€" tional methods and places rural comâ€" munities more nearly on an equal basis with Cities in educational adâ€" venrtages offered to Children. That section of the proposed highâ€" way from Cobalt to North Bay would open up a section of the Country that at present is considered by many of very little value. It would open up a district.in the Township of Lorraine which is quite heavily timbered with pulp wood (spruce, balsam and popâ€" lar} and considerable other valuable timber such as red and white pine. A large quantity of timber to be eut only awaits the construction of a good road to enable the Settlers to bring it to the Market. In addition to the above, considerable cedar is to be had for telegraph poles, and railway ties, from which with the other timber men tioned the Government would derive considerable revenue. There is quite a large part of this Section that is good farming lands and has not been settled on account of the lack of transportation. This road would remove this handicap. A great assistance would be given the Mining Distriect of south Lorraine which extends to the Matabitchewan River. At the present time this Silâ€" ver Camp is isolated which is a great handicap to a Mining District. It is the opinion that a trunk road through this section would attract capital and lead to many silver discoveries. The same advantage would apply to the Gold Belt in the Swastika District the Nickle Belt near Porquis Juncetion and the Poreupine Gold Belt. Apart from the direct Commercial V alue of the Highway, a very importâ€" ant point to consider in its favor is the fact . that it . would â€" open up the country to tourists traffic in a wity that no railroad _ could ever do. One may travel for days on a train without receiving any lasting impression of the country one ‘had tra velled through, but the same cannot be said of motoring. It is safe to say that thousauds would see this country each year, who otherwise would be unable to see it. This influx of tourists would mean capital brought to this country and in a good many eases investments would follow to develop its unlimited reâ€" sources which have hyydly been tappâ€" ed. One day there will be constructed a transcontinental highway of which the North Bay to Cochrane would be the natural and important part. To Cost $10,000 per mile. The estimated cost of the highway would be $10,000 per mile. The total distance, 305 miles with the present maradam road from Haileybury to the Temiskaming Mine reduces this to less than 300 miles. One plan of financing would be to have the proposed Highway included in the present Ontario Government Highway Scheme on which $22,000.â€" 000 is being spent. We will estimate the cost of this proposed highway at the cost of £3 . 000,000, The Federal Grant affects all main Highways which would pay $1,200,000 (40 per cent. of the total cost). The Provincial Government would pay $1,200,000 (40 per cent. of the total eost) leaving $600,000 to be paid by. the Counties providing we were orâ€" PIANO LESSONS GIVEN...
