The ,original plan for St. Joseph was teihake it a center of industry Vs well as the most beautiful sum- mer resort on the lakes. The natural advantages of the place were not many, but what there were, made good capital in the hands of the pro- moter. There was an excellent beach and pleesant surroundings, and these still remain, but they are not un- usual along 'the east shore of Lake Huron es As for industries, a brick- yard and saw -mill were to be estab- lished. For an expenditure of $5000 the Minister of Public Works was assured he could make a harbor at St. Jriseph with 10 feet of water, thoUgh it was also boasted that a man could wade out into the lake for a quarter of a mile, without swimming. As workers in the industrial life of the city -to -be, French-Canadians were to be brought from Chicago. Mr. Cantin and the parish priest of St. 'Joseph went to Ottawa and. ex- plained the iramigration scheme. At least 25 families could be brought front Chicago, it was explained. The distriet around St. Joseph had been settled for 40 years with French- Canadians, but they had come from old Quebec. According to the Mini- ster of Public Works, 25 families eetuelly came from Chicago, but this ' was disputed bY others in Par- liamentet the time the matter came up for'diebussion. The big brick arid sawrhill trade, did not materialize. Thelaief) ,i'eason for this, no donbt, "Was. because the transporta- tion tecilities cl,1c1 not become avail able, when the harbor was built, veseels were to have sailed from St. jeseph, laden with bricks for Chi- cago. The idea was hailed by some With eidicule, but many people re- gettled the plan as feasible. As for the saw mill there was some di:tee dine Its to material. There were no tracts of wooded land in the district t was said. Trouble at Ottawa When the Minister of Public Werke' at Ottawa asked for $5000 to spend 0.11 the harbor works at St. Jeri% there . was quite a storm. Chief amine the critics was the memeee of North Middle,sex, Mr. Sherritt, who explained to the House the .stage which the city of St. Jos- eph had then readied, and further, what- little prospett there Was for indtetrial deed:diluent. The mini- ster, was forced to defend himself.
