Ten mil- lions were addedito this before the oar, but the cwt to date has been about 150 million+, with many millions yet to be spent o0 It. • It war safe, he 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.

The lock is obsolete .00w as far as mod- ern shipping is concerned..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.
