C 52 26e 8i aa* 22 nnt. t.n.n.“.“.”,“.i Mr. C. W. Wright Refers to Indigent Question, Agriculture in North, and Other Questions atAnnual Banquet of the North Bay Board of Trade Last Week. In his inspiring address Mr. Wright spoke on the problems confronting the North Land,â€"questions that the Associated Boards sought to solve. One of the chief of these was the matter of indigents from unorganizâ€" ed territory. Up to the present the expense of caring for these indigents from unorganized territory ‘had fallâ€" en on the organized municipalities. When an indigent from unorganized territory became ill or could no longâ€" er manage to eke out any sort of exâ€" istence he or she came to the nearest town to be a burden on that municiâ€" pality. Mr. Wright made it plaim that the Government should look after such indigents from unorganizâ€" ed territory» ‘A resolution passed at the last meeting of the Associated Boards, held at Timmins some weeks ago, pointed out that the Government was the only body receiving any taxes or fees from unorganized territory and so the only one entitled to meet such calls as those of the indigents. Towns of the North Land have enough to do to look after their own, without being burdened with indigents from outside. The Dominion Government looks after all indigents in its unorâ€" ganized territory, and there does not seem to be any fair reason why the Ontario (Government should not do the same. Mr. Wright held that the Government is morally responsible for the care of indigents in unorâ€" ganized ferritory in case of iliness or want. This is one of the questions that will be taken up by the Associatâ€" ed Boards of Trade with the Governâ€" ment, a delegation to go down shortâ€" ly to meet the Government and disâ€" cuss this and other vital questions of interest to the North. Head of Associated Boards Talks on Problems of North Mr. C. W. Wright, president of the Northern Ontario Associated Boards of Trade, whose address recently at Timmins made so pronounced an imâ€" pression by its earnestness and eloâ€" quence, was the chief speaker at the annual banquet of the North Bay Board of Trade on Thursday evening last. Referring to the. agricultural pr blems of the North, Mr. Wright sa that an endeavour is being made have Hon. J. 8. Martin, Minister Agriculture for Ontario, pay a vis in the North Land and address thr Agriculture for Ontario, pay a visit to the North Land and address three big meetings to be called. _ UOne of these meetings would likely be at North Bay. Little attention had been paid to the agricultural possibilities of Northern Ontario, in comparison to the importance of the matter, Mr. Wright thought. _ Experiments have shown that the North is an ideal growing ground for such erops as potatoes and barley, and Mr. W right considered that the possibilitiee of the North in this respect should be made the most of.

E. Wolfe, of Sault Ste. Marie; and Mr. Carl Saunders, the retiring president of the board. Mr. Wolfe, who was formerly secreâ€" tary of the Sault Ste. Marie board of trade, gave a valuable suggestion to the North Bay board. He outlined some of the results obtained by the Sault Ste. Marie board from the adopâ€" tion of a scheme of a graduated seale of fees. He pointed out the advanâ€" tages of such a plan. It brought to the board a very large enthusiasâ€" tic membership, assuring the coâ€"operaâ€" tion of all. All were able to take membership, the little businesses, as well as the big ones, and in addition the plan assured a large amount of funds to the boards with which to carry on. Mr. Wolf, thought a simiâ€" lar plan to that adopted at Sault Ste. Marie, and the one now in use at Timâ€" mins, would solve the problem of the North Bay board. In the address of the retiring preâ€" sident, Mr. Saunders, reference was made to the money spent to advertise North Bay. Mr. Saunders felt that the only way to put North Bay and the North on the map was by adverâ€" tising. He thought that money spent in certain of the States along the border would bring real d"l‘ends through the additional tourist traffic seulred. He also suggested the establishment of a tourists‘ bureau establishment o a Dureau somewhere in the South, to give inforâ€" mation relative to North Bay and the North Land. The following officers were elected for the North Bay Board of Trade for the year:â€"second viceâ€"president, H. P. Charlton; third viceâ€"president, H. Stockdale; secretary, A. Anderâ€" son; treasurer, W. B. Gorman; exeâ€" cutive, N. J. MeCubbin, T. M. Mulliâ€" gan, H. Stockdale, James Bourke, D. T. Millard, W. E. Wolfe, A. Halkett, J. E. Holmes, W. R. Devenish, E. J.

Mr. Barker had been slated as president and Mr. Mitehell as first viceâ€"president, but as both deâ€" clined the honour it was decided to leave these offices to the executive who will name incumbents from their number.

Erection of Mill Practically Complete. and there remained only the preparaâ€" aurum Mines, Limited, show a very promising outlook. One of the speâ€" cially noteworthy items in the reports is the fact that the cost of the mull project will be somewhat below the original estimate of $400,000.00. Usâ€" ually estimates are exceeded, but in this case, good management and foreâ€" sight have kept the figure below what was expected. The reports deal with the fiscal year ending Dece. 31st, 1927. It was expected that upon comple- tion of all tonstruction and equipâ€" ment, said President R. W. Leonard, there would remain in the treasury on July 1st, 1928, a balance of approxiâ€" mately $100,000, which it was believâ€" ed would be sufficient to carry on operations until the mill was in the production stage and paying its own way. â€" Practically the whole issue of bonds and stocks offered to the shareâ€" holders late last year was taken up and arrangements were made for the sale of the balancee. The erection of the mill was pracâ€" tically completed. _A large amount of the mechanical equipment for the 500â€"ton cyanide mill and crushing plant had arrived at the property, and there remained only the preparaâ€" tion of foundations and minor interiâ€" or construction necessary to its inâ€" stallation. « Exploration work during the 1927 was confined to the 850, 1,250 and 1,â€" 500â€"foot levels, said General Manager F. D. Reid. The main shaft was sunk to a depth of 2,111 feet and two new levels were established, one at 1,750 feet and the other at 2,010 feet. The veins â€"drifted upon on the 1,500â€"foot level were, generally speaking, longer than at the upper levels, and the ore was of a much higher erade. There was, however, no improvement in the width of the veins. The possibilities of finding ore on the upper levels were by no means exhausted.
