Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Dept. of the Interior
at Ottawa says:. -
While Canada, has a large area of
land, amounting to approximately 8,-
608,910 square miles, and it would
seem that there should be plenty for
everybody, at reasonable prices, the
settlement of certain portions and its
use for business purposes has greatly
increased its value. In business
centres, particularly, prices have
reached such a height that the neces-
sity for accurate surveys shows the
importance of this work, and while,
to the unthinking;, the matter of a dif-
ference of a foot more or less need
hardly be considered, a few years -a
comparatively brief space in the life •
of a nation -may' mean the establish-
ment of a community that will Tepid-
ly become a metropolis, and a conse-
quent enhancement of values to un-
believable heights.
It is but 131 years since Governor
Simcoe, the first governor sof Upper
Canada, removed the seat of govern-
ment from Niagara across the lake
to a tent pitchedmn a site just east of
the present city' of Toronto. Land in
,;the nP,w provincial capital could no .
doubt have been obtained at that tints
very cheaply, and property on what
are now the downtown, streets was
farm land. A foot frontage'more or
less would hardly be considered in re-
gard to values; but the surveyor of
those days, as at present, required ot-
Curecy. Time has justified this need
for accuracy, as is evidenced by n re-
cent report of the assessment commis;.
sioner of Toronto, which shows that
pi•apel ty located on the corner of. Bing
and Yonge Streets is now assessed at
$18,0.00 per foot frontage, or $1,500
per inch. Who could have foreseen
that the original tent of Governor
Simcoe in 1798 would be a city of
70,000 people in 1920
