lions were addedito this before the

s+tid, judgipg by experience of all simi-
lar projects, to multiply any estimated
costs by three beore considering the
final weight which would be laid on
Gm shoulders of the people, who had
no say in the matter. It had been
stated. he said, that Canadian business
would benefit through all Canadian
materials being used In that part of
the project elircb lay in Cattediian ter-
ritory. Ile questioned the. reliability
of this statement.. Al an tnetance 11e

tench mord advantageous to Canada
to spend money to -bring the Cana-
dian Soo Canal qp to date. The
lock is obsolete .00w as far as mod-
ern shipping is concerned.. and the
larger Canadian boots are forced to
ter:. the American lock. Capt. Slmp-
s4s. recalled the congestion of shipping
at Soo i t times and alleged
way was this extra power to be used?
It was said that when the power was
available business would improve to
absorb It, but this was purely hypo•
shetical. It appeared, said Capt. Cor-
nett, that the greatest effect on Cana•
titan industry would be the loss of the
millions of dollars of capital tied up
In the lake boats' which would have to
be scrapped as unadaptable for ocean
work, and the throwing out of employ-
ment of mo -1 of the Inland water sail-
ors. Was this a good reason, he
raked, for the laying on the shoulders
of our children an even more stagger -
Al bad of debt than that which our
fathers had laid on us?
Capt. McDowell said that the coun-
try was already taxed to the uttnost,
end gave It as his opinion tha: a plc•
':Sete should have been instated upon
before the Government committed It-
self on the matter.
A letter was drafted to the grand
lodge, registering the opposition of
the Owen Sound branch to the seaway
pact, and asking that all possible meas-
ures might be taken to protect the
Lake satiors In the event of the deep
waterway becoming an accomplished
fret.
