for five years secretary of the
Coderieh Industrial Commission,
in the magazine The Canadian
Realtrir.
Mr. Anderson is now indus-
trial commissioner in Cornwall.
He went on to say:
The primary t urpose and aim.
of each commission is the fur-
thering of the economic' and,
industrial growth of the com-
munity which it serves.
The ,operation function of the
individual commission varies in

located, and? the nature of the
economic .development to by Pur:

In the city or Cornwall the
main objective has been directed
specifically toward the attraction
of new manufacturing industries
for increased employment of our
citizens. It follows that success

commercial, retail, and service
industries as a natural by-pro-
duot.
The .;fundamental reasons for
our emphasis in securing rnanu-
Ia tu,ri zg. `employment is the re-
sult of two xnajo'r eeontomnic re-
versals -which , occurred in the
late 1950:s.
Duting the period of 1954-
1958 the dual construction pro-
jects of 'the St. Lawrence Seaway
and the international Hydro El-
aptric Power Dam in Cornwall
created a temporary economic
boom. In excess of 6,000 eon-
str'uetion personnel were attract-
ed to the city and immediate
area. Massive investment was
generated into housing, motels,
hotels, retail outlets, and service
industries.
Labor- shortages created higher
rates. Material and service de-
mands increase costs. Indus-
try that was anticipated would
be attracted by the new Seaway
and power -availability did not
materialize. When the project
was finished and the skilled

projects the hundreds of unskill-

ployed during construction were
left in the unemployed labor

In 1959 a group of leading
citizens incorporated Coi'nwall

tained a license and issued

acquired 25 acres of serviced
