Splendid Attendance at the fleeting on Tuesday
Evening --President Cameron Presents the An-
nual Review of industrial Activities, Which 1s
Optimistic in Tone -Some Interesting Discussion.
The annual meeting of the Hoderfeh
Board of Trade was held on Tuesday
evening, and was the most interesting
meeting the Board has had in several
years. 1t was held in the council
chamber at the town ball, and the
aceommodations of the room were
overtaxed by the large gathering.
which included a number of young
business men who were @bowleg an
interest to the Board of Trade for the
first time. The treasurer, Mr. VV inion
Campbell, sat at the receipt of custom
and had quite a field night gathering
In mernhersbip fees.
Mr. M. el. Cameron, president of the
Board, was in the chair, and Intro-
duced his annual address with a trw
remarks on general business condi-
tions in the Lown and on the efforts
made by the IIoa•d of Trade during
the past year -efforts which, be ad-
mitted, bad not accomplished a great
deal. He then read the following re-
ports front the various Industrial con-
cerns of the town :
The Goderich Eleyator and Transit Co.
The past season has, in point of
grain receipts, been the most satisfac-
tory yet experienced by this Oom-
pane. having put through eleven and
a quarter million bushels. Ninety-four
steamers carried this grain, and with
an estimated expenditure of 11(84 each
trip for groceries, meat and other sup-
plies, quite an amount was circulated
among our merchants. Seven vessels
are wintering bere and the amount
expended in repairing, fitting out, etc.,
will be considerable. Freight tate,
throughout the season were excep-
tionally good and vessel -owners par-
ticipated in the best traffic earnings
for many ye'rs.

About thirty-five ruen are employed

The Huron Canning & Evaporating Lo.
This Uowtwar-y bad a very tear year
In the canning part of the business,
but on account of the apple crop being
very short there was very little doing
in the evaporating and dried apple
line. Prices were fairly good, both in
evaporated apples and canned goods.
The season tori the whole was setisfac-
tory.
They were employing during the
canning Beason an average of twenty-
five hands, hut could have used twice
t hat number if they could have been
secured.
1t is difficult to nay what; business
will ice like (luting 1917, as that de-
pends entirely n1 the crop of vege-
tables and fruit. Arrangements are
being made to put up a much larger
pack of canned golds the coming sea-
son, if the vegetables and fruit can be
secured, and elan if more help can he
secured. The outlook for the demand
is excellent.

Repot t trails for the pant year as be-

of nue town and count y at the present
time.. For the past twenty 'rare we
have been supplying and building

one, but with verandahs, additions,
exien.ion., repair jobs and a lot of
country work we were able to keep

The Dominion Road Machinery Co.
The road machinery ba'ioess for the
part year has not been as bright as
that of previous year's, due nodoubt to
the European trouble.
As our business is done principally
with the municipalities and road con-
tractors who also depend largely ou
the Department of Public Works, the
amouut ct rood -making machinery
purchased by them has been somewhat
limited, consequently we have had to
look to other sources from whicb to
derive our business- We have secured
a number of contracts from the Gov-
ernment for the wanufacturat of water
wagons and water carts, together
with cel Lala portions of uur regular
lute. This has [leen our only outlet,
although the gloss amount of tattiness
did not reach that of previous years.
The uumeer of melt employed has
varied somewhat, hut on ay *este
we hewn employed coterssWtjy from
thirty-five to forty web'. •
The pnapecta fo- 1917 (o the road
machinery business are no$ bright : in
fact, a reflection of 1918 is anticipated,
due no doubt to the fact that the wu-
nicipalitiw will ccneerve their (undo
for other imrnediate requirewents,
and hold up the progress in the line of
road iwprovement until the end of
hoetilitir.. In view of this fact, we be-
lieve it our duty to turn our attention
tp the Government and secure con-
tracts for goods which are constantly
required by thew, and which could be
manufactured here. At the present
time we have orders for a large num-
ber of water wagon., and have pros-
pects of a larger one, upon the com-
pletion of the present contract. Our
facilities for building chi■ .r•ecial wag-
on are very good, the output an1000t-
inpg to stout thirty-eix per month, and
it has been intimated that the Gov-
ernruent•s requirements would exceed
this number.
rhe number of men employed at
present is forty, which is aP many as
can be profitably employed wbile we
art manufacturing the present line of
goods, which require considerable
space.
--- Eleanor, of Officers. -
The election of officers wee then pro -
reeled with. Mi. Camel on was re-
elected president, Mr. C. L. Moon
vire-president, and Mr. Wm: Camp-
bell treasurer. A heartily unanimous
re-election as secretary was tendered
Mr. G. L. Parsons, whose services to
the Hoard in this capacity during the
pito year were invaluable ; het he de.'
dined le -election end Mr. Ernest Col -
bo, ne ems elected secretary.
For positions ors the arena of Abe
Hoard then were twenty-two aoaliaa
tions, and the following were chosen
on a ballot : J. W. Frear, (leo. Por-

While the votes were being counted
by the scrutineers, tise piesident in-
vited Mayor Munnings to address the
meeting, and HI. Worship did so,
etitering with considerable detail into
a history of the negotiations regard-
ing-tbe Doty plant. in doing so he
mentioned the efforts made by Mr.
Moore, of the Dominion Road Ma-

when he had concluded Mr. .Noone
arose and gave bin version of the
affair, challenging the Mayor or auy-
tme else to was not the hbetter ow haoffer t his( oaf thentwo
that were before the council.
There had been so much talk about
time raver Ibesenegotietione that Mr.
MTotore's statement was heard with the
greatest interest and cleared away
some mieconceptioun that had exidted
in the minds of citizens who had net
heard the whole story. The incident
closed wi h an argument on the side
between Mr. Moore and the town
clerk Ax to the respective merits of
the two (Mere.
Mr. H. '1'. Edwards wanted to know
if the Hoard wait going to give mem-
bers anything for their money, or
would take their dollar and not give
them an opportunity to attend ameet-
ing due ng the year. Some other
.senders took pent in the /iscu.Pion
raised by this query, and it. W
pointed out chat the bylaws of the
Board cell for monthly meetings of
