Roy D. Kerby, general manager and a director of the company, was chairman and after calling the meetâ€" ing to order, he requested James A. Brand, comptroller, to read the minâ€" utes of the last annual meeting. These being approved and adopted, a copy of the financial statement was presented to the shareholders, special niention being made of the eash posiâ€" tion of the company. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO The following were elected direcâ€" tors for the ensuing year: W. C. Durâ€" ant, R. E. Briggs, W. Zwiener, Roy D. Kerby, and James A. Brand. The reports for the year showed that the company had had a very successful year in 1927. A balance of profit of $377,228.58 was carried forward to 1928. A dividend of 4 per cent. per annum was declared, payable quarterly during the year 1928. In the president‘s message to the shareholders, W. C. Durant says: company ‘has now completed its sixth year of operation, and on looking back over this period your directors feel a great deal of satisâ€" faction in the position in which your company now stands as one of the foremost producers and merchandisâ€" ers of automobiles in the Dominion of Canada, both for home consumption and for export, and also in the fact of your company being brought up to a dividendâ€"paying position.‘‘ Capper‘s Weekly:â€"‘‘An engineer surveying the right of way for a proâ€" posed railroad in 1870 was talking to a farmer. ‘Yes,‘ he said, ‘the line will run right through your barnyard." ‘Well,‘ answered the farmer, ‘ye can do it if ye want, but I‘ll be jiggered if T‘ll get up in the night just to open the gate every time a train comes through." * MANITOBA‘S LEGISLATION FOR MINING COMPANIES _and similar legislation in Mnnitohu‘ should be of interest. Manitoba has recently become more or less of a‘ ‘‘mining province,"‘‘ and Ontario has occupied that distinction for some time past. Manitoba‘s special interâ€" \est in mining is of rather recent | birth, while Ontarmo for many years has been interested. perhaps more then generally recognized in mining \ matters. In this regard Ontario has \ more or less bought its knowledge by experience â€"and experiment. _ With the experience of Ontario, its neighâ€" ! bour, to profit by, Manitoba may have cheaper . education in this subject. There will naturally be interest in the plans of Manitoba to deal with some of the features that touch a ‘*mining province.‘‘ Syndicates Specially Regulated in New Legislation in Regard to Stock Selling but it must they are also ion and sugg betterments o1 ied with thin case may be.

Ontario has recently revised and extended its laws in reâ€" gard to the sale of mining securities, and similar legislation in Manitoba should be of interest. Manitoba has recently become more or less of a ‘‘minine province.‘" and Ontario has Manitoba‘s new legislation regulat ing mining companies, chiefly in re /N C S T8 td N iB $ M L it a zard to stock selling, has been framed with the object of diverting investâ€" ment funds from the hands of disâ€" honest ‘‘security sharks‘‘ into chanâ€" nels of honest development, W. R. Cottingham, K.C., said, speaking at the annual meeting of the financial bureau of the boards of trade at Winâ€" nipeg. â€" Mr. Cottingham, who is chairâ€" man of the newlyâ€"constituted municiâ€" pal and public utilities board, exâ€" plained all the functions of the board, but laid chief emphasis on the work that had been done to meet the new conditions which have arisen due to the rapid increase in mining activity in the province. The new law, howâ€" ever, was purely exiperimental, he said. After outlining briefly the other| functions of the board of which he: is head, Mr. Cottingham, who was inâ€"| troduced "by W. M. Crichton, deseribâ€" ed the changes in Manitoba ]ogislaâ€"i tion in regard to mining companies. The new law, he said, had ‘been passâ€" ed, but would not come into effect until proclaimed. Mining companies, he pointed out, had been removed from the jurisdiction of the *‘ sky‘‘ law, and would in the future be regulated by a statute based on the new Ontario act, which in turn was modelled on the Martin act in New York State. The old legislation in foree here, he said, had tended to have the effect of driving mining incorporations out of the province. This affected govâ€" ernment revenue, but had the more serious result of sending much of the supply business out of the province also. A company with its head office in Toronto more probably ordered its goods and supplies from houses and firms in that city, he said. The new law, he hoped, would help to right this condition. So far as possible, the speaker pointed out, no restrictions would be placed on stock selling. But the board ‘had the power to eall on any stock salesman to appear before it for full investigation. If fraud was inâ€" dicated the board could then go to the courts to ask for an injunetion to preâ€" vent any further sales of the security in question. In extreme cases, he said, actual prosecution would follow.

While salesmen would be licensed, they would not be allowed to advertise that fact, since experience elsewhere indiâ€" cated that such a license might be reâ€" garded by the public as a certificate of character. Syndicates, he said, had proved a somewhat thorny problem, since they: partook of the nature of a partnetrâ€" ship which involved unlimited liabiliâ€" ty. The new law provided â€" that syndicates composed of up to 40 memâ€" bers and with a capitalization of up to $25,000 would be allowed to funcâ€" tion. _ These syndicates would nave to register with the board, and such registration would validate any clause in the syndicate‘s covenant limiting the liability of the members. Regarding fees charged by the eoyvâ€" ernment, the speaker explained the amendment made this year to the Companies‘ Act which provided that, where the price of any stock issue is set forth in the letters patent, suci price would be taken as the basis for the fees payable. This got around the difficulty, he said, of fixing reasonâ€" able fees for companies with no par value stock, and should encourage companiés to incorporate under the companies to i provincial act.

Engines with three different bearâ€" ing arrangements were constructed and tested thoroughly to determine which would perform best in the type engine which Oldsmobile had selected. These engines, as well as other enâ€" gine parts later construected were made by the expert tool makers and master mechanies that constitute a part of the personnel of the Oldsmoâ€" bile experimental department. Every part was cut, milled and finished from the raw metal by hand, the men working direet from blue prints. It required two weeks for 20 men, working six full days a week, to make one engine. _ The cost of building an engine by this method averages from $15,000 to $20,000. After months of preliminary â€"reâ€" search a fleet of test ears of the accepted design was built. _ These cars were started in one of the hardâ€" est tasks automobiles ever were called upon to perform. More than a milâ€" lion miles of tests were run to prove the approved design. These cars ran 22 hours each day. One hundred and twentyâ€"six years of driving by the average car owner was combined into the distance traâ€" velled by the test cars. The combinâ€" ed talents of more than 60 engineers are represented in the new Oldsmoâ€" "bile. It is an embodiment of the knowledge of experts in many fields combined with the experience of the past 30 years of automobile construeâ€" tion plus years of work and substantiâ€" al expenditures. 10 North Bay Nugget:â€"Chewing gum, says a commerce repmt, ‘‘is gaining a foothold in Japan.‘‘ The Japanese needn‘t be alarmed yet.

Beaubien declared that the doectrine of 19\0luti0n, murder and theft was being spread in schools and universiâ€" ties, and demanded to know what the (Government intended to do about it. He said there were communist schools in action and communist press and charged that the propaganda was spoonâ€"fed from Russia and paid tor bv Russisan rubbles. Senator Beauben said that in dJune last year, the Catholie Women‘s Leaâ€" gue had petitioned the Government to close communistic schools and deport communistic teachers. _ In January last year, Bishop Helenowsky, who had a knowledge of continental Euroâ€" peans, stated that the communistic movement in Canada was a serious menace. â€" Senator Beaubien said there were 40 communistic schools in Canâ€" ada and 2,000 children in attendance. In these schools, they were taught communism as opposed to Christianiâ€" Labor temples were also used for communistic meetings and immigrants wore taken there to listen to these nefarious doctrines. He thought the Government would be well advised to adopt measures to avert the dangers of communism. From the communistic press in Winnipeg, he quoted to show the doeâ€" trines which were being propagated in the Dominion, especially in the west. In Northern Ontario, he said, so serious had become this menace in the schools that it was engaging the attention of the Ontario Government. Teachers in Northern Ontario had warned the Government that attempts were being made to influence the minds of the children and the Northâ€" ern Ontario districts were being floodâ€" ed with communistic literature. â€" Even during the Diamond Jubilee week, he added, communist activities were eviâ€" dent in Toronto and other centres. atistaction e handy pac , “'fie PGFFGCt WI’P In the Made perfectly under kept Lbctory in the pocket packs of EC e Senate at Ottawa last m stion of communism was at some dength.
