from here preeented toAlphonse Four

,Ottawa, on Wednesday • and ThUrsdaY
of last week.
The delegation, .b.eaded MaYcrD.

along with delegates from other hike*
ports who went to Ottawa w4b.. dm-
ilar prcipoeitionse ' •
Anioug the improvements w•hieb. the
Goderich delegation asked was that the
,area Just -Insides-the- liarber---entranee,
be widened from the present width of
450 feet to 1000 feet, all to he a depth
of 20 feet and e,xtension of the wes-
terly end of the river breakwater to
Join with the nerth-easterly end of the
, north breakwater so as to divert the
river flow.
It was also suggested that the bal-
ance of Ship Island be dredged to. a
depth Of 25 feet to ,permit easier turn-
ing for light or Toaded steamers.
G. L. Parsons, ,president of the Gode-
rich Elevator and Transit Co., stressed
the ineportance of the port as a trans-
portation link for western grain pro-
; ducts. Despite many imprOvements
to the harbor, he said, many steam-
ship companies have grave Misgivings
in consigning. th,eir cargoes to Gode-
rich-toward the' close of- the navigation
season; with the result that much of
the 'trade of larger ships is last.
MeisPournierepromieed theeGOderich

be given the fullest cOnsideration by
the government although no decision
would be ,givenosfor some time.

The story, 'fro ea the portion of the
