Gundy, of Toronto. Herewith will be found an answer to The Northland Post by Hon. Wm. Finlayson, Minister of Lands and Forests while elsewhere in this issue will be found an answer to Hon. Mr. Finlayson by The North- land Post:â€" Hon. Wm. Finlayson Makes Reply to Criticisms of Policy Minister of Lands and Forests Replies to Reply of Cochâ€" rane Paper to Letter by Mr. S. B. Gundy. Hon. Mr. Finlayson Revamps the Usual Line of Talk in Regard to Expenditures in This North Land. It is not necessary for me to say anything as to the letter Mr. Gundy wrote on behalf of the Toronto Board | of Trade, except that the Department‘ appreciates the assistance given by the Toronto Board of Trade, and we have‘ always had their help, not only finanâ€" cially, but in many matters that are of interest to Northern Ontario. | In Cochrane District I unfortunately inherited a great deal of difficulty. The settlement along the Transcontiâ€" nental had proceeded rapidly and the Editor, Northland Post I have received from the North a letter with a clipping of an editorial from your paper on the 15th of March with a request that I reply to some of the inaccuracies contained in your arâ€" ticle. unnatural expansion of the newsprint industry had created situation that lent itself to what is called pulp farmâ€" ing, with the result that large areas had been despoiled under the guise of settlement and the Department had suffered enormous losses in revenue These circumstances not only produced bad conditions in the field but also irregularities and trouble in some of the Department‘s offices. In addition to this, I found an exceedingly bad fire hazard extending from Cochrane to beyond Hearst with immense quanâ€" tities of brush undisposed of, and a general neglect of fire precautions. Personally, I regard this as the most serious matter the Department have to face in this district. It is only to be expected that in cleaning up this situation a great deal of opposition and some feeling would be encountered. Parties who had been despoiing the Crown Lands objected to regulation and many disputes ocâ€" curred when trespass was stopped and W. J. Kenny Ansonville, Ont. Toronto, March 25th, 1929 THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO l proper dues collected. There was also the difficulty of tryâ€" ing to distinguish between a bonafide | settler who was trying to clear up some land for a home and the man who was simply trying to sell the pulpwood off the land without any real effort at settlement. I | | I I There was a further complicated situation caused by the failure of a colonization effort. and the fact that the Department had to pay over Two Hundred Thousand Dollars to get one property back, and found many settlers with large contracts that they could not carry out.: All these difficulties have had to be faced and it has naturally created some feeling and resentment. I am glad to say that the more responsible people in the locality have been steadâ€" ily assisting the Department and tryâ€" ing to help to secure settlementâ€"and a proper regard for, public rights and order, I am much indebted to the loâ€" cal member, Mr. Waters, for continuous assistance and to the Church authoriâ€" ties, the Municipal Officers, the Railâ€" way Superintendents and many other people interested in the larger enterâ€" prises for genzsrous help and assistance and I think we are gradually getting some order in the district. Friendly, constructive criticism is welcome, but in some cases I have felt that the situation is being taken adâ€" vantage of to try and harass the Govâ€" ernment and create difficulties. Will you allow me a little space in your paper to answer the points you raise in your editorial? 1. Mr. Gundy might have said that over thirtyâ€"five million dollars has been spent on Northern Ontario deâ€" velopment and a further five million dollars is being voted this Session. I am surprised at your repeating the old misâ€"statement that Northern Onâ€" tario in some mysterious way pays money to the southern part of the Province. As a matter of fact the expenditures in Northern Ontario for all the Proâ€" vincial Service amounts to over Nine Million Dollars ($9,000,000.00) yearly, whereas the total revenue from Norâ€" thern Ontario, received from lumber, mines and every other source only amounts to something over Six Milâ€" lion Dollars ($6,000,000.00). I am sorry you repeat this old mistake as I think we are getting southern Ontario so inâ€" terested in the North that they are prepared to vote larger sums, and do ncot want to put it on a basis of returi. 2. Mr. Gunday mentions the fact that the Mines are now producing One Hundred Million Dollars a year in adâ€" diticnal wealth to the people of Onâ€" tario. This is, of course, true, but has nothâ€" ing to do with the Revenue to the Deâ€" partment and I do not think we will ever reach the stage when we will get enough Provincial Revenue out of the North to pay for the actual expendiâ€" ture in the North. 3. Forest Products amount to T‘wenâ€" ty Million Dollars per year. This is correct, but the greater part of it is now coming from other parts of Northern Ontario rather than the District in which you are interested. However, I do not look at this as imâ€" portant as I feel that we must develop the North without regard to districts or the revenue received from such disâ€" tricts. 4. Mr. Gundy mentions the compleâ€" tion of the Ferguson Highway at a cost of over three and a half mllion dollars, within the last few years. You state that two thirds of this money was spent between Severn River and North Bay. This is not correct. The Department only started to reâ€"build the portion north of the Severn last year and spent about half a million on it. The overâ€" whelming part of the expense has ben from North Bay to Cochrane. I had hoped that we would get some Federal contribution to help in this work in the same way in which the Federal Government helps the States in the Republic to the south of us, but we have not succeeded. In the meanâ€" time we are pressing our work steadily as far as our funds will permit and. in fairness I am sure you will admit that we are steadily working on the roads from Cochrane to Hearst. A conâ€" siderable contract was let last year and this year we are continuing the work and starting the bridge construction. 6. The fiepartment are certainly pleased with the induustry established at Kapuskasing. Mr. Gundy might have given the inâ€" vestment at the correct amount which is now over Thirty Million Dollars. 7. Your comment on the fact that $1,300,000.00 has been spent on the Fire Sservice in Northern Ontario is fair when you state that this is only a reaâ€" sonable premium, but you overlook the fact that your district was one of the worst fire hazards in Northern Onâ€" tario and the Department have spent more money in your district than anyâ€" where else, in trying to bring it up to date. With the coâ€"operation of the Railways and the Companies we gradually getting it into shape, and alâ€" though the work is far from complet: we cleaned up last year 30,000 acres of 5. Mr. Gundy mentions the Transâ€" Canada Highway. brush in this district, built 10 steel towers, put in 56 miles of tlephone lines, improved our equipment and force through the whole area. This year we will put in 7 more steel towers and a number of wooden ones and will extend our telephone system and inâ€" crease fire protection. In addition to this we have been improving the fire zones around all fire localities and getâ€" ting the general condition improved. I have been more alarmed about a serious fire in the Cochraneâ€"Hearst district than anywhere else in Onâ€" tario and if we can get in one or wvwo season‘s work, i hope we will be able to meet the situation,. This is the most serious matter in your localitiy and I would earnestly ask coâ€"operation in an effort to improve it rather than unâ€" friendly criticism. I am surprised at your slighting reâ€" ference to the Air Service. I thought this service had proved its own value and I cannot understand your refâ€" erence to what happened last wesk. The Department simply did what it could to help a poor clergyman who was in difficulty and surely we should not be condemned for brnging him to the Cochrane Hospital for treatâ€" ment. The Air Service is not a comâ€" plete cure but is only one branch of the Fire Service and we are steadily exâ€" tending our towers and telephones and increasing our equipment. In addiâ€" tion to this I have refused to employ University students as fire rangers and am trying to build up a permanent fire force of Northern Ontario men who learn the business and become experts at it. We are trying to use them on the fire force in the summer and give them employment as cruisers and on the other work during the winter. I do not look at it in this way at all. I would like to be able to perâ€" suade the south of the Province that the hope and prospects for the future of the Province lies in the North and no amount of money is too great for intelligent use in the North. It is only one Province and the capital and means of the south are necessary for the development of the North, and I am sure money intelligently used will give a good return. It is a mistake to raise these local feelings and to make comparisons of this kind. During this winter my Gdepartment has spent over Two Hundred Thousanda Dollars ($200,000.00) in extra winter work, mostly in the distribution of gravel, in Northern Ontario for th: purpose of relieving distress, and I am getting as much money as I can for this and similar purposes. It is only right and proper to do this, but it would certainly make it easier anc more pleasant if one could get a support rather than endless unfriendl; criticism founded on lack of knowâ€" ledage of the situation. You will, at least, in justice state that I am tryâ€" ing to get around the North and to understand the situation, and am conâ€" tinually covering not only the railway routes but canoe routes and air route: and every other means of trying to understand the situation. I am sorry to see your reference as to whether the North owes anything to the South, or the South owes anything to the North. I hope to be in your district shortly after the session is over as usual, and will be glad to meet the municipal auâ€" thorities, Associated Boards of Trade and anyone else interested in the subâ€" ject, I will be very pleased to have conâ€" structive criticism and suggestions. I am surprised at your suggestion that an officer of the department is interfering in political matters in the riding. No officer of the department has any authority to do anything of the kind and there is no intention to interfere with the constituency in the selection of its own candidate.
