It is the intention to not only make high-grade steel products, but to make the finished parts, such as auto parts, engines and high grade steel. It is the intention to use electric furnaces and produce many articles not now manufac- tured in Canada. J. J. Mahone of New- ark, N. J., late steel expert of the Imper- ial Munitions Board, is one of those inter_ ested in the proposition. A housing committee under the Ontario Housing Act will immediately be formed, and it is intended to construct 00 houses this year, both the town and company , guaranteeing the bonds. The corporation will merely ask the municipality for free- dom from taxation, and the necessary by- law, will be submitted to the people short- ly. The proposition carries with its an- nexation of part of Goderich Township, extensive harbor improvements, widening streets and their projects. An option has already been secured on 1,000 acres of land to the south of the town and in Goderich Township. It is also stated that an option has been secured on one of the largest hotels in the town. It is reported that on account of the large amount of electricity which will be required for smelting in the plant, it will be necessary to partially reconstruct the hydro power fine from Niagara Falls. The Town Council at a special meeting formally gave its assent to the project. In connection with the proposed harbor improvements necessary for the corpora- tion, it was stated that it would be nec- essary to extend the south-west break- water in the harbor towards the south in order to take care of the large ore docks which will be constructed, and it is intend- ed to dredge the harbor to a depth of 24 feet. A civic delegation will proceed to Ottawa this week to ask for Government assistance in the harbor improvement plans. Mr. B, H. McCreath, new proprietor of The Goderich Star, and a Goderich old boy is primarily responsible for securing the big enterprise for the town and associ- ated with him have been the following members of the industrial committee of the new Board of Trade: C.
