any person present who tould advance
reasons Why the road sallould not be

Mr. B.' K., Wurtele recalled that
whensthe' 'G-oderich delegation visited
Ottawa themember had, been as,sttred
by the Government representatives that
if Groderieh could Produce tbe business
the road would be built, brit the
Government would prefer tojease. the
land if the town Would build the rigid.
In 'Mr. Wurtele's estimation there
were three problems to be considered:
1t,If the' town would go to the
expense of buildin. the road at a prob-
able cot et $.3,00S, but #ot mare than
$5,000; 2nd, get the, permission of the
Railway .Beard to crone the tracks, and
shipPers of 45,000 tons of freight a
year .14r..Wnrtele 'thought his cOnapany
might be able to give some assistance
in that direction.; 3rd, get a lease from•
the Government, it the town definitely,
makes up its mindthat if it got the
land it would build the -road. ' --
Three million dollars were invested
in the harbor, Mr. •Wurtele painted
out, but there was only one half of
it in u$. The Industries would benefit
'by:the extension a the harbOr
the 'merchants' would benefit, and as
a natitrall result workmen and others
would derive advantages. •
