In connection with the consideration of the above table it is well to remember
that the system of collection of immigration statistics has varied from time to time.
From 1882 to 1891 a count was kept of persons crossing the international boundary at
various points. Those entering Canada were counted as actual immigrants, without
precaution being taken to ascertain if they were arriving for the first time or if
they intended to remain. Many so counted were no doubt Canadians returning after
an absence of a week, and others no doubt were entering the Dominion intending to
make only a short visit. This practice was abandoned in 1892 as misleading and has
not since been resumed. For the years 1893 to 1896 no count was kept of the numbers
enteriug from the United States, and while to say there were no arrivals during that
period would certainly be inaccurate, still the number arriving was believed to be small.
Until 1908, no system existed for the counting of immigration from the United State^^
to Eastern Canada. The present system of collection of immigration statistics is
reasonably accurate, and while in former years the system may have been somewhat
faulty, it is quite clear, with the large immigration reported, that many came who did
not stay. If Canada is losing not only a considerable portion of her immigrants, but
in addition, as is frequently alleged, is failing to retain her Canadian-born population,
the causes which produce such a result are worthy of the most careful consideration of
the Government.
During the past fiscal year the total immigration was 79,074, of which 71,314 came
from the United States. While the war continues, immigration, except from the
United States, must be negligible and consequently, expenditure elsewhere has been
kept at the lowest possible point. In England, the services of the staff have been
utilized in arranging for the return to Canada of women and children anxious to reach
their former homes. In Canada, the staff have had many duties to perform not
regularly pertaining to their work. Chief amongst these may be mentioned investigat-
ing reports regarding alien enemies and suspicious characters, and the issuing of
"permits to leave Canada" to males between the ages of 18 and 4S years, who for
business or other reasons rc-qiiire to absent themselves from the Dominion.
Immigration figures, in detail, are given in the report of the Superintendent of
Immigration, and a brief account of the worlk in the United States is submitted b.r the
In.spef!tor of United S,tiitc> Agencies.

Included in the steerage passengers for Canada were 24,748 returned Canadians and
78,728 tourists, leaving the immigration proper at 7,760 souls, which, tog^-ther with the
71.314 settlers from the United State?, brings the total immigmtion to 79,074, an
increase, as compared with that of the preceding fiscal year, of 3,700 persons.
The following further statistical information will be of interest: Table I deals
with the total arrivals of saloon passengers; table II with the total arrivals of steer-
age passengers; table III with the monthly arrivals of immigrants for Canada; and
tables rV and V give summaries of the information obtained from immigrants for
Canada upon arrival.

REPOKT OF THE CHIEF CONTROLLER OF CHINESE IMJEIGRATION,
W, D, Scott.
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 1918, 769 persons of Chinese origin entered
Canada, of whom 119 were admitted as axempt from head tax, and 650 upon the pay-
ment of $500 each. For the purpose of comparison it is considered advisable to publish
statistics relating to Chinese immigration since the imposition of the first head tax
in 18S5, which head tax was increa.sed to $100 on Januar.v 1, 1901, and to $500 on
January 1, 1904:—

IMMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION 21
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18 ^
During the last three fiscal years those admitted upon payment of the head tax
were chiefly boys coming to Canada to attend our public schools.
The Chinese Immigration Act provides that Chinese legally admitted into Canada
may, upon payment of the $1 fee, register out, which registration carries with it the
right to free re-entry within a period of twelve months. By Orders in Council
it has been provided that Chinese who left Canada on or since April 1, 1914, up to
and including November 16, 1917, may remain away until six months after a pro-
clamation has been published in The Canada Gazette that a state of war no longer
exists. On March 31, 1918, there were away from Canada 6,663 Chinese who, under
the provisions just quoted, are entitled to free re-entry. Lack of transportntion
facilities is the chief reason why the majority of these Chinese have not aln;idy
returned to the Dominion.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF IMMIGRATION FOR CANADA,
LONDON, ENGLAND.
J. Obed Smith.
The great war continues, and active propaganda, looking to emigration to
Canada, is still suspended, but we have, nevertheless, a constantly growing number
of inquiries from others besides soldiers (in the Service and out of the Service) for
information regarding the Dominion, particularly regarding any special scheme for
the settlement of ex-soldiers and otiiers upon the land. These enquiries are being
acknowledged from time to time, but we are accumulating a special list of miliatry per-
sons, who are awaiting definite and detailed particulars regarding this government
scheme.
, The enquiries indi'''ate that a'ly approach towards the end of hostilities will bring
a large and sudden demand fov full infonnatiou of all kinds regarding all provinces
of the Dominion, and we ought to be fully equipped to meet these demands immediately
they are made.
The fact that means of transportation will be limited for a period after hostilities
cease may prevent any immediately active movement of eiviliano, but we can greatly
stimulate our iiopaga'.dist eiToi-ts in the way of giving information to enquirers through
the various agencies of the dcpr.rtmcnt in the British Isles. While we can:;!ot emigrate,
we can at least educato to the alvontage of Canada, and the welfare of the persons
enquiring.
No reports are available from any point on the continent of Europe.
LECTURES.
Wherever the opportunity has arisen, our agents have given lectures on Canada,
not essentially from an emigration standpoint, but rather with a view of giving
general information, which to school children (at any rate) will later on turn their
thoughts to our Dominion. The restriction of lighting arrangements, generally
speaking, prevents a lecture being given in the evening, and lectures during the day-
time without lantern slides are not of the same interest, but we have not failed to take
every opportunity that was advisable to keep Canada before the people over here.
EXHIBITIONS AND SHOWS.
The slight opportunity in 1916-17 of exhibiting Canada's products at agricultural
exhibitions and shows disappeared entirely during the past year, but as we have no
stock of grain or any other e-xhibits, save apples, we could not have made any exhibi-
tion worthy of Canada, even if the opportunity had been available. In this connection
22 fMMICRATIOy AXTi COLOS IZATlOy
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
we find all our exceUcut show windows devoid of frrain and other exhibits, and it is
greatly to be desired that even a small quantity should be sent over, so as not to allow
our conii)€titors in the emigration field here to- exclusively exhibit their products to
the disadvantage of Canada. We have not received any grain exliibits for some years.
SCHOOL .\TLAS.
Under instructions from the Department, that our supply was to be conserved, as
no others were being sent to us, the distribution has been very seriously limited, and
in some cases altogether stopped. This was the best litera,ture Canada ever issued,
and I trust that the opportunity of furnishing half-a-niillion copies for distribution
here may be permitted, as soon as the exigencies of the war allow.
CANADUN NEWS ITESI.
We have continued this excellent system of propaganda more satisfactorily tha«
we had hoped it was possible under war conditions, and wc still retain the good will of
hundreds of editors, pending the restoration of conditions which will allow us to
actively advertise the conditions and advantages of Canada.
EXPENDITURE.
The amount expended here for all purposes has been: —
Fiscal year ending March 31, 1914 £91,00()
1915 .-.7.100
1916 31,600
1917 27,400
1918 28.500
SAILINGS TO CANADA.
We have undertaken, at your suggestion, the arrangements for transportation of
Canadian women and children back to Canada, and our efforts in this respect appear
to have met with the approval of the British authorities and, we think, of the people
themselves. We hope to continue along these lines whenever the British authorities arc
able to give us accommodation on stramers which arc, in their opinion, afforded
reasonable protection on the high seas.
WAR-TIMi; nESTHICTIONS.
The Compulsory Military Service Act has from time to time been amended, and
is now likely to bring within its scope all male persons up to 50 years of age.
The requirements of National Service preclude also the enfbarkation of women
■who have never been to Canada. The Admiralty embargo against wnmcn and chil-
dren of any ago or class crossing the Atlantic still continues, and is only relaxed under
conditions which it has been my duty to carry out.
It is impossible for any person to leave these shores without the written permit or
passport of the British Government, and this applies equally to males as females.

JilUIORATION AND COLONIZATION 23
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF IMMI&RATION, WINNIPEG, MAN.
J. Brlte Walker.
On account of war conditions, a very small number of Britisb-born people came
to Western Canada during tbe year.
The number of settlers from tbe United States who entered Canada at western
ports of entry during the year is very satisfactory, and shows an increase of over 50
per cent compared witli the previous year, as shown in the following comparative
statement. This statement also shows almost the same percentage of increase in the
number of carloads of settlers' stock and effects, and the value of same.
It is also worthy of note that the increase in the number of settlers, as compared
with the previous year, almost equals the total number of settlers who entered Canada
at western ports in the year 1915-16; the difference in favour of the last-mentioned
year numbering only 18 persons.

REPORT OF INSPECTOR OF UNITED STATES AGENCIES,
W. .J. White.
To whatever it may be credited, there has been aroused in the United States dur-
ing the past year a greater interest in Canada and Canadian affairs than since the
ante-war days, when the immigration from that country far exceeded what it is to-day.
It was a change that was greatly desired, and the causes not far to seek. ^ It may be
true that they were of a mixed variety, partly selfish and partly friendly, with a
greater percentage of the friendly order. Of this I am satisfied, for everywhere, espe-
cially after the United States entered the war, the " feel of the air " was so different.
Even before this, the praises of the wonderful fighting qualities of the Canadians were
being soundcKl in all the press, their exploits on the field were headlined, and the editor
dropped his pen of prose, and wrote the songs of the valorous Canadians. The mind
of the public became imbued with the same spirit, and it only wanted the phychological
entry of that country into the war to bring about a brotherly friendliness that can
never be broken. It began to dawn upon these people that Canada and Canadians
were worth considering. These headliners and these editorials were the promptings of
an emulation that reached all classes, and I have been told that the keynote to efiiciency
.amongst the rapidly enlisting troops, was the slogan "let us show to the world that we
are as great fighters as the Canadians, let us equal their deeds of valour. Wo may not
be able to do so, but we will do our best." Officers and men, men and officers, all were
alike in this respect. Kindly words everywhere, an interest everywhere, " and, you're
from Canada! I tell you Canada is doing nobly." Expressions heartfelt, warm, and
26 IMMIGRATlOy ASD COLOSIZATIOS
9 GEORGE V. A. 1919
cordial, such as these, were heard on all sides. Here is one of the causes for the
interest taken in Canada. Another cause was the personal one. Hearin? so much of
it, so much of its people, of its resources, its wealth in most all the natural resources
that make a nation strong within itself, of its agricultural wealth, the question arose,
how may I benefit myself by going to Canada, and pursue agriculture, of which I
have eonsidenible knowledge. How may I do this and become a greater producer for
the benefit of the allies and their fighting forces? This led to the answer found in what
thou.sands of others had done in the wealth that the soil would produce, in the cheap-
ness of an article that would yield manifold more than the much dearer article on their
own side of the border.
We secured last year many more people than at any other time during the period
of the war. They brought more wealth per capita, than ever in the past. There' was
a renewal of the spirit that was breaking when Canada entered the lists of battle.
The tide was turning, and I am pleased to say that during the year there has been
nothing but an ad vane*! movement.
That it might not be thought that in the eagerness and desire of our loyal and
active corps of agents to show results, there was an indiflferencc as to the class of
settlers, I wish to say, that never have they been as careful in their selection. And I
want to add that the task of elimination was not an easy one. There were likely to
be undesirables, alien enemies, those of a country witli whom we were at war. And
there were hundreds of them. The interests of the country were to be safeguarded at
every step, and none i)ermitted to go forward wlio were not qualified in every sense, to
become law-abiding, useful citizens. And they were kept out. Kindly but forcefully
they were told Canada had no place for them. The year's work shows a steady flow,
month by month, for the entire year, of an immigration of a people of a class that will
prove of greater value to the country than for many years past.
I need only point to the advance in the price of farm lands throughout our western
provinces, as proof of the value of the work done during the past year. There has
lieen a decrease in the number of homesteads tnkcn up as compared with the previous
year, but the railway and land companies report sales as having greatly increased in
acres as well as in price secured. This has all come about by the demand created b.y
the settler of the past year wlio came in with money and experience, and also the
demand of adjoining farmers for more land.
Jt is not uninteresting to note that the work of repatriation was carried on, and
successfully. Those who follow the trend and history of immigration agree that immi-
gration has its foimdation in unrest. Keep up unrest amongst a people, and you will
always have a movement of people, and hence immigration. The workings of the seed
of unrest have been evidenced in Canada, especially amongst the newcomers in far-off
districts, where the women had possibly to do the work of the men, where a binder
became detached from the sickle guards, and no guards could Ik; found, or the links of
a bull-wheel chain had dropped off in the field. No others handy, a drive of forty miles
to a town. Grain ripe — the yield would be great — discouragement, and the story of
green fields — far away, unrest, and a movement. We have had it, wo have had the
stories told to farmers who had prosiwrity in view away this side of the horizon, and
yet they shifted. In one cajM.-, twenty-six families all told, from one neighbourhood,
left for the fnr-awuy groen fields, for the land "where all tlicy had to do was to seed
the grain and it would Imnxst itself." This was three; years ago, and it was only the
other day, as I sat on a box at a certain station in one of northern towns of the
Southern States, I .saw tho last of the twenty-six farmers place the double-trees of a
wagon in a car that was labelled " Winkler, Canada." And then I had another talk
with tlio farmer. I had had several before this, for as I have intiniatofi a portion of
our work is repatriation. Ho said, " Well, that's over, and now I go back to a country
J should ncviT have left. I go back to pet more uood crops," and with a few crude but
expressive sentiments regarding the man who had induced him to move, at such a

frreat loss, with one hand he removed the same old hat ho brought from Western
Canada tliree years ago, and with the other wiped away the beads of perspiration from
his brow, grasped the rail of the car platform, and started for Canada. Two thousand
dollars of a loss. But the same story is reported in many other places. They just go
away for a change, and retin-n to remain satisfied.
Altogether we have had a successful year, and should the same spirit exist, and
the same work continue, I look for the year 1918-19 to be away ahead of this.
REPOKT OF THE CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER OF IMMIGRATION.
Peter H. Bryce.
The work of port medical inspection has in consequence of the war been small in
amomit and medical officers have been engaged in military work or in medical work
elsewhere.

The total rejections, while small, are large relatively, since in 1912-13, with 263,-
423 such immigrants, the total immigrants rejected were only 756 or 1 in every 348 as
compared with 1 in every 109 this year. The 12 refused admission for medical
reasons included three insane persons; while the criminals, poor physique, and paupers
necessarily include most- mental defectives.

The total deportations to tlio United States, while much the greater, are relativelv
few in comparison with the larger number of immigrants therefrom during the year.
Most of these are undesirables from the social rather than directly from the medical
standpoint.

It is interesting to note the large number, 527, of deportations, and the small
number of total immigrants as compared witli such years as 1912-13, when with over
400,000 admissions to Canada there were but 1,281 deportations. This fact seems to
make it more and more evident that the undesirables, whether physical, mental, or
28 IMMIGRATION AXD COWSIZ.lTlOy
9 GEORGE V. A. 1919
moral are by no means eliminated in any single years of arrival; but their defects
from year to year continue to bring them within the official purview' of the department.
Table III shows how the unsocial immigrant remains a menace to society; and
now that mental studies of criminals in institutions are making it dear that it is the
mental defectives that form the majority of such classes, the extreme importance of
preventing such from finding admission to Canada is every year becoming more evi-
dent. The medical cases, forming by far the greatest number of deportations in the
past, have declined to a minimum with ther' few arrivals in recent years. Such
naturally have either recovered or died;' but the defective with criminal tendencies
becomes a recidivist in our prisons and public institutions, and a permanent charge
upon the State.
The outcome of immigration operations from the social standpoint further appears
in annual reports from provinces and cities. The Attorney General of Alberta reports
that for 1917. of the i)0,') official dependents of the province, 402 were Canadian and
')Q^ were immigrants. Of the cases dealt wirth there by the juvenile courts there were
in all, 525 of 16 years and under, of whom 205 were Canadian, and the balance, ri20,
were immigrants or the children of foreigners.
It is worthy of note that there wore of Americans 70, and of English 64, with the
ne.xt highest CJerman 37, followed by 29 Russians, 27 Scotch, and Jewish 20.
The report states: "Many of the children who appear Itcfore the court are not
normal mentally." As further illustrating the great importance which immigration
has on local public relief work, it will be recalled that Inst year's r<'port states that 51 -.T
per cent of the cases dealt with by the Montreal Charities Organizations were immi-
grants, while of the 922 attending the psychiatric clinic of the Toronto General Hos-
pital, only 446 were Canadian.
This is supplemented by the figures of Toronto General Hospital clinic for the
year ending March 1, 1918.

The illustrations given in these several tables, where a few immigrants have come
to Canada during the past four yejirs, would seem to indicate that the work of immi-
gration docs not end at the port of entry but merges into that of colonization. In a
.^ense different even from the treatment and prevention of disease, the work of absorb-
ing the immigrant into the social Canadian organism is continuous and vital ; while the
co-ordination of the work of the department with related provincial departments and
social agencies seen in so many other executive fields may well continue to increase to
the mutual benefit of all and to the yet more rapid Caiiadianizing of the many from
abroad who are making this country their home.
IMMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION 29
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 18
KEPORT OF THE CHIEF INSPECTOR OF BRITISH IMMIGRANT CHILDREN.
G. BoGUE Smart.
In this brief resume there will be found statistical and other information regarding
the work accomplished by this branch of the service.
The war has clogged the wheels of progr^s in so far as this branch of immigration
is concerned. The enforced suspension of the work for the duration of the war is
a serious matter to our farmers and householders. At no time in the country's history
has the need for farm help ceen so insistent as at present.
At the commencement of the year 1918 there were 871 children eligible for
inspection. Of this number 544 were boys, and 327 girls. Their distribution was as
follows: Ontario, 658; Quebec, 104; New Brunswick, 47; Nova Scotia, 37; Prince
Edward Island, 8; Manitoba, 6; Sasikatchewan, 2; Alberta, 4; and British Columbia, 5.
This past year was unique in the history of the movement, inasmuch as there has
been no juvenile immigration.
The number of juveniles inspected and reported upon in 1917-18 by officers of this
department was 1,648. These reports were made individually and transmitted with
promptitude to the Local Grovernment Board, London, through the office of the High
Commissioner for Canada.
73,524 boys and girls have migrated to Canada since the organization of the move-
ment, the majority of whom have been employed in agricultural pursuits.
There has been an extraordinary demand on the Homes for the service of both
boys and girls. Since 1900-01-1916 the number of applications was 359,589, while the
total emigration was 32,078.
The general progress of our Old-Country boys during the past year was very
gratifying indeed ; many of them having completed their apprenticeships are remaining
in their original situations as the " hired man." As farm hands they are indispensable,
and for that reason many farmers, known to me, have not allowed the mere question of
wage to stand in the way of retaining the services of a boy or youth whose industry
.^nd capability they recognize.
To those who have taken a kindly interest in this .subject it will be gratifying to
know that, notwithstanding the innumerable appeals that have been made to the people
in the motherland, the fountain of generosity in so far as the necessitous child is
concerned, has not dried up, and that this noble work has sufiFei-ed no serious diminu-
tion.
The homes and training schools which have been aptly described as "Ever Open
Doors" are to-day filled to capacity, and it is to be hoped that in due time many of
these children may be permitted to migrate to this part of the Empire, where there
are many advantageous openings awaiting them.
The following statement shows the number of applications received by the various
agencies for children during the year j,ust ended:- —

The general manager of Dr. Barnardo's Homes in Canada stated: "In connection
with the falling off in the number of applications as compared with those of
previous years, I would submit that this is not an indication of any diminution
of the demand for juvenile immigrants, but as the result of its being generally
known throughout the country that the work is suspended on account of the
war, and the efforts that we have ourselves made to discourage application."
N.B. — The demand in all cases is greater than ever before but, owing to the im-
possibility of supplying the children, only a minimum number of applications has
been kept on record.
The official visitors give neither the child or its foster parent any notice of the
approaching inspection, so that the child is found under its ordinary daily condition.

From n close .-tud.v and ob^crvatinn. extruding over llic iifiirl.v twont.v year* of
my connection with the work, I have been enabled to estimate, not only the great value
of this particular branch of immiRration effort to our Dominion, but also the need of
Uiia clsRs of farm and domestic help in this country.
IMMIGRATION AND COLONIZATION 31
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 13
SUPERVISION AXD AFTER-CARE.
The responsibilities of my office include a general oversight of all children under
the age of 18 who have been brought to Canada by organizations and accredited agen-
cies. The department has therefore a general supervision of every juvenile brought
to the Dominion, not a member of a family.
The policy of inspecting the children by this department is practically the same as
that laid down by the regulations of the Local Government Board and Home Office,
respectively, in Great Britain.
The department holds to no hard-and-fast rule as to the age when the inspection
of a boy or girl shall cease, if the necessity for it is apparent.
The reports transmitted to England contain the fullest information respecting
the conditions under which each child is living and employed.
When a boy or girl is discovered in an unsuitable environment the matter is
brought to the notice of the Superintendent of the Home, and the child is transferred
to another home or situation.
The Receiving and Distributing Homes were duly inspected during the past
year, and were found in good order and well equipped.
These centres are of immense advantage to the children, and have added greatly
to the efficiency of the work. The children, after reaching their majority, have no
longer any claim on the Home, as they are considered self supporting, yet they are
always given a welcome should they return for a visit.
Nearly all the homes are situated in Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces,
and the majority of the children have therefore been located in these provinces.
In keeping witli the times, there has been noticed a very material advance in the
wages paid these young farm hands. They are of very frugal habits. Every dollar
these boys or girls save is well and honestly earned. They are thrifty, and the large
majority have accounts in a chartered banlc or in the Post Office Savings' Bank.
The question has not infrequently been asked me as to what these boys do with
their wages, and this has been made the subject of special inquiry.
As already indicated, one thousand six hundred and forty-eight juveniles were
inspected and reported upon to the Local Government Board, London, in 1917. Of
this number, one thousand three hundred and twenty-six were of wage-earning age,
and three hundred and twenty-two were of school age and placed under the foster
parent system, i.e. for home, clothing, and schooling. The aggregate wages of those
under the supervision of the department was $69,720.20, or on an average of over $50
per juvenile — -not taking into account board and keep.
The great majority have Savings' bank accounts, either in their own name or in
trust for them by the Home, and accessible to them when necessary. In this con-
nection the following examples, selected quite indiscriminately, may be interesting,
when it is borne in mind that the boys came to this country practically penniless.
A young man called at one of the Homes a few days ago, en route overseas with
the Canadian Expeditionary Force and left for safe keeping $1,200 in Victory Bonds,
and $370 to be deposited in a pavings bank in trust for him. He had started to work
on an Ontario farm eight years ago, and this represented his net savings.
Another young man who had unsuccessfully attempted to enlist, invested $1,000
of his $1,300 savings in Victoi-y Bonds, all of which he earned as a farm hand, having
started as boy apprentice seven years ago.
Some of the boys, and girls, too, of whom I have heard, are in the habit of helping
their poor relatives in England financially from time to time, and others have broug'ht
their mother, father, brother, or sister to Canada.
That this work of child saving has proved to be not only philanthropic but
intensely patriotic and Imperialistic is evidenced by the large number of youths and
32 lUiliaitATIOy AKD COLOS'IZATIOy
9 GEORGE V. A. 1919
young men who have been flocking to the colours in Canada since tlhe beginning of the
war. Many of them already having made the supreme sacrifice, their bodies lying in
the fields of France and Flanders, while their companions, with the same indomitable
courage, are marching on to final victory.
Such loyalty to the Motherland and such readiness to come to her help on the part
of these young men should give this work a new value in the ^-es of Empire builders.
In a general way it may be said that everyone of these young soldiers left com-
fortable positions and good homes either on the farm or in the town to answer the
call of duty.
In addition to these there are many who, failing to pass the necessary examination
for active military service, are nevertheless doing their bit in munition works iu
Canada.
Dozens of these boys have won their commission on tlie field, and are now distin-
guishing themselves as officers and non-coms. The Military Medal and other decora-
tions have been awarded these erstwliile immigrant boys, and several have, I believe,
l>een recommended for the Victoria Cross, thus proving that in addition to their loyalty
they possess the true fighting .spirit of the British born.
Returns of enlistments of Old Country boys received from the various societies,

The far-reaching results of years of effort on liohalf of child immigration from
Great Britain and Ireland are thus becoming more manifest as the year.* go on.
This great war, while putting a complete temporary <Aeck on this work, has been the
means of throwing a new light on the importance of this fonn of enterprise, within the
Empire.

Ottawa, November 1, 1918.
Hull. !•'. Ji. CauviolIj,

Ottawa, Ont.
Slu, — I have the honour Uj submit the report of oi)ei'ations of the Department
of Pnblie AVorks during tlie tiscal year ended Marcli 31, last.
EXPENDITURE.
The total e.xin'iiditure made by or through the departmeut during the iiseal
year 1917-18, on its various works of construction, maintenance, and operation,
amoujited to the sum of $14,0.55,207.70. The details of this amount are classified
under the followiaig heads : —
Harbour and river works $ 5,551,773 U7
Dredging, plant, etc. . .., 1,405,838 Ifi
Slides and boom.s 64.859 36
Roads and bridges 18.991 41
Public buildings 5,843,288 72
Telegraphs ' 751,451 48
Miscellaneous 419, U04 60
Total $14,055,207 70
'I'll!' department has carefully adhered during the year under review to the
policy of retrenchment which has been followed since the outbreak of the war,
with the result that the aggregate outlay this year is $2,106,.388..')0 less than that
of the preceding year; and $15,228,109.12 less than the expenditure three year® ago.
The parliamentary grant for this year was $9,914,057.70 less than that for the year
191t!-]7 and will be further substantially reduced for the year 1918-19.

The revcmic for tlio year amouiitixl to the sum i>t" .t421.491.S4, and is inado up
as follows : —

Casual revenue ■ 27,737 23
Total »121.491 84
It will he noted that there is a deerease of .$71,768.17 from last year's tiKuros.
which is practieall.v the difference in the i-eturiis from slides and booms. The other
items of revenue while showing fluctuation from tlie preceding .year have aggrc-
frated about the same amount. The prcat decrease in slides and booms revenue is
attributable to the new arrangement made last year whereb.v the St. llauriK-e slides
and booms system was leased to the St. Maurice River Boom and Driving Company.
Limited, from the first of April, 1917, at a rental of $1 per Miiinmi. The company
w-.is to collect the rates of tolls establisbeil by Order in Council, and after defraying
the cost of maintenance and operation was to pay over the surplus there might be of
revenue over expenditure. When this system was oi>erati^l diroi't by tin" dopart-
ment, tlie practice was not to charge the cost of maintenance and operation against
the revenue, but to defray expenditure from certain spet-ial appropriations granti'd
for that purpose and return the entire collections as revenue. No iiayniont has so far
been made by the company under the existing agr<'einent but. in any event, tlu;
change of method by which all expendiiture is now de<luc'tc:l t'n>iii revenue is bound
to show a very sui>stantial decrease in the latter.
Reference was made last year to the particularly small return^ fn.m the Ottawa
River district. This year the collections were $9,904.38 more than tlic previous yejir,
and the number of sawlogs 1 .0.-.9.."]l!4 more than last year; the iiKTcase being due to
the large quantity of logs frmii tribntaric^ iiing i>iit which 'ha<l l>een hung up the
previous year.

I'lie total exiKMiditure in this branch of the IV-partinent of l'ul>li<^ Works was
$5,.')51,773.«7, of which *4,097,211 .58 was charged to capital and !|iI,4,-.4..-.(!-.'.;!'.> to
income. This is almost one million dollars less than last year's outlay.
The followimg is a list of works which have been complotod during the year: —

DREDOIXn.
Tlie expenditure under this lioad amounted to $1,405,838.16. a decrease of
$1,004,575.08 from that of the preceding year.
There were seventeen units of the departmental dredf^ing plant not in oommis-
sion during the fiscal year 1917-18. This released several Public Works tugs, and
advantage was taken of this fact to place them at the dieposal of the departments
of the Government in need of such vessels; the Xaval Service Department making
use of the steamer Speedy, tugs Helena, Canso and <S'i/- Jolin; and the Customs
Department making use of the tug Can.<iO prior to this vessel having been taken
over by the Naval Department.
The expenditure on the plant has been kept as low as possible, consistent with
economic efficiiency, and no new plant has been acquired or constructed. The out-
lay on contract dredging amounted to only $53,359.07.
The dredging of the channel in the East river, Pictou harbour. Nova Scotia, was
completed. This work has been under way by dredge P. W. D., No. 5 (Northumher-
linid) since 1908. and the work has involved the removal of 2,972,228 cubic yards.
A channel has been completed in the Saguenay river, givinig a least depth of
H; feet and a width of i'.")0 feet from the foot of the battures to Chicoutinii.
A satisfactory commonccnient has been made in removing shoal patches and
points, which have been a source of danger to navigation m the main channel of the
St. Lawrence river in Lake St. Louis.
This season saw the practical completion of the West Fort turning basin of the
Kaministiquia river, at Fort William. The improvement of this harbour by dredg-
ing, to the extent planned, is cxpecte<l to be finished next season.
The work at Port Arthur iKirbour during this season consisted in easing the
entrance to the Government elevator slip; widening the main harbour south; widen-
ing the King's channel; completing the Saskatchewan Co-Operative and firain
(i rowers' slip and commencing the Eichardson's elevator slip.
The close of the year has seen the conipletion of the widening and deepening
of the channel through the First narrows to Vancouver harbour, and the removal of
I'arthia shoal; there is now a least depth of 35 feet over the First Narrows channel
and Parthia shoal, and a least width of 1,200 feet in the channel, whiich 'had a width
of 450 feet and a depth of 30 feet when the work was commenced in December, 1911.
To effect this improvement has involved the removal of 4,139,260 cubiK! yards.
At Nanaimo, work has been carried on since 1914. By the removal of Rocky shoals
the harbour has been greatly improved: no further work being required for presently
prospective navig'ation.
This season saw the completion <<{ the improvement, by dredging, of Victoria
harbour. The Rocky shoals obstructing the free passage of the vessels have been
removed so that there now exists in the inner harbour the safe depth of 20 feet, which
is expected to l)e sufficient for the accuniuupdation of shipping for some time.
XX nKPARTUEXT OF PVBLIC WORKf!
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
Special reports, to the number of tluTty-one. were forwardetl durinc: the year to
the Departments of Marine and of the Naval Service, so that mariners niig-lit be kept
acquainted by means of alterations of charts and notices to mariners with stich work
as has been accomplished.

PIBMC BUILDINOS.
The sum expended on construction, maintenance and repairs of public buildings
throughout the Dominion was $.5,843,288.72, which is approxinnately the amount which
was expended during the previous fiscal year. Of this amount, $2,674,8.'5.'i.88 was
expended in the construction and improvement of public buildings; and $:?.l 68,432.84
in repairs and maintenance.
The following buildings were completed during the .year: —
Quebec. — Quebec post office — Minor works were executed to complete the main
contract. Partitions were erected to form offices for the Military Service Act officials.
Installation of tower clock and post office- fittings.
Onlario. — Kingston — P^rcction of gymnasium at Royal J[ilitar.v College, ircnlon —

The following buildings were still under contract at tlu' close of the fiscjil year: —
Xova Scotia. — Halifax barracks on north common.
Quebec. — Three Rivers public building.
Onlario. — Ottawa Parliament buildings.
Alberta. — Calgary drill hall.
Owing to the shortage of anthracite <v)al last winter, in order to conserve t;hia
class of fuel as much as iK>ssiiblc and with a view to setting an example to large jirivate
users the department made changes in numy of the furuact's in public buildings sitn-
nfad in the Maritime Provinces and in the West so thiit local or bituminous v*vA
might be use<l for heating. In this way, a very con«itlcrai)ic quantity of anthracite
coal was saved for donujstic consumption. The results in the jjublic buildings were
generally satisfactory, although the soft coal re(|\iire<l iiincb cli»i>r atlentiiii\ ami moiv

The department was vcr.v fortunate in not biiving nnicli <laniHg4' done lo the

repaired.
RECONSTRUCTION OF PAIiMAMKNT HIILDIXGS, OTTAWA.
The progress made with the reconstruction of the Parliament buildings during
the past year has been exceptional, and it may safely be said that a record has been
set in its rapid constructiion. At the same time, the work is of the highest quality, iu
keeping with a national undertaking of this character.
On April 2, general building operations were resumed for the season of 1917, the
masonry of the interior walls on the Senate wing being two storeys high, and an
average of four feet above ground level for the balance of the building.
When masonry work -was discontinued on December 18, 1917, all e.xterior and
court walls had been completed to the main cornice or roof level; leaving the stone
work of the four north ventilating towers, the front pavilions, the chimneys and the
pent-houses above the roof to eam7)lete the exterior masonry.
The maiai tower was not proceeded with last year, the e/>ntractor devoting his
energies to getting the building under roof before winter.
Structural steel-work, which was well started at the opening of 1917, has been
completed, excepting minor sections such as pavilion and tower roofs, miscellaneous
beams for stair landings, etc.
The sloping roofs are being constructed of Flex-or-Crete, a firejiroof concrete nail-
ing composition, while the flat roofs or decks are of terra-cotta arch tile. These slop-
ing roofs have been completed with the exception of the Commons roof, whieh could
not be placed on aecoimt of the early frost, while the roofs of the towers and pavilions',
cannot be constructed till the masonry walls of same are finished.
The terra-cotta arching of the flat roofs has been set, and the placing of the copiier
and tar and gravel roof eoveriuig will be proceeded with as weather conditions permit.
The setting of the terra-cotta arches for the floors of the building was commenced
September 25, 1917, and approximately 80 per cent of this work has been completed.
The excavation for the foundations of the central heating plant is well advanced,
and the concrete foundations for the north wall of this building have been placed.
Labour conditions have been generally satisfactory, the average daily force on
tliis work for the year 1917 being 495 men.
During 1917, there were fourteen meetings of the Joint Parliamentary Commit-
tee and fifteen meetings of the board on the reconstruction work ; also meetings of the
Speakers, Senators, and Chairmen of the House Committet^ to discuss the general
wnrks of this building and arrangement of accommodation.
The expenditure on the work to March 31, 1918, amounted to $2,774,873.18.
In addition to the contracts mentioned in last year's reiK)rt, the P. Lyall & Sons
Construction Company, Limited, as general contractors for this work have, with the

NATIONAL GALLERY.
The National Gallery being still without premises for the e.xhibition of its
national collection of works of art, has continued to concentrate its energies upon the
development of its policy of loan exhibitions to any art gallery or body which has
proper facilities for exhibiting them, and it is believed that this policy is having a
direct and important bearing upon the establishment of schools of art and desigif
throughout the country. Its popularity is evidenced by the rapidly increasing appli-
cation for these exhibitions, and without new purchases it will shortly become impos-
sible to meet all requests.
Regular annual loans of works of art were sent out during tiie year to St. John,
N.B., Sherbrooke, Que., Fort William, Out., Winnipeg, ^lan., Kegina and Moosejaw,
Sask. ; and special exhibitions were arranged for Halifax, N.S., Montreal, Que., Art
Association, Ottawa-Central Canada Exhibition, Toronto Art Museum, and Western
Canada Fair Association, the circuit including Calgary, Edmonton, Brandon, Kegina,
Saskatoon, and Prince Albert, also Vancouver, B.C. Twenty oil paintings were pur-
chased from Canadian artists during the year.
Appended to this report will be found detailed reports from the different branches
giving full particulars of the various works carried out by this department during
the year.

The Ea.it river is the must inii>ortiint of the tliree branchea of Pictou Harbour.
Since the inception of the work in 190?*, the department hydraulic dredge No. 6 was
•■mpli'yed. and the total amount rcmove<l to date is 2,972,228 cubic yarda of clay, sand,
gravel and shells. A detailed description of the whole project to that date is given on
page 21 of tlie annual rciHirt for 1915.
During the past season, the dredge operated from June 23 to November 2, aii<l

INVERNESS.
Dredgini/-
Inverness, Inverness county, is an incorporated mining town situated on the north-
western coast of Cape Breton island, about midway between the harbours of Mabou
and ilargaree, and 00 miles from Port Hastings, on the strait of Caiiso, with which
it is connected by rail.
In April, 1917, the fishermen of Inverness asked the department for a channel
across the beach, 15 feet wide in the bottom, and with a depth of one foot of water
at low water or 5 feet at high water, to permit them to pass in and out of the harbour
at least at half tide, but the channel asked for would extend beyond the protection of the
eastern breakwater for a distance of 175 feet, and in order to protect this dredged
channel, it was absolutely necessary to extend the eastern breakwater for that distance.
Instructions were received to excavate the channel; operations were commenced
July 10, 1917, and continued when weather conditions permitted, until September 25,
when the work was suspended.
The depth required was obtained throughout the length of the channel during the
progress of the work, but the heavy seas washed the floating sand back into the channel,
and on 26th September, when the final examination was made, it was found that the
channel had an average depth of 1-2 feet above low water instead of one foot helow low
water; and as spring tides rise here 4 feet instead of having a depth of 5 feet at high
water, as proposed, there were hardly 3 feet of water at that stage of the tide, and it
will continue to shoal up until the channel is protected.
The amount of material removed on completion was found to be .S, 155 cubic yards
in place, without taking into consideration the amount (if material removed and washed
back into the cut.
The work was done by horses and scrapers.
li\t;rpool.
Dredging.
Liverpool is a town situated at the mouth of the Mersey river. During the past
fiscal year, dredge No. 7 removed 46,610 cubic yards, scow measurement. Work was
commenced June 11, 1917, moved to Shelburne in September, and moved back to
Liverpool, October 17, and continued operations until November 30, 1917.
From the bridge towards the mouth of the harbour for a distance of 1,110 feet, the
nature of the material to be removed consists of mud and sawdust. For a further
distance outwards of 1,034 feet the material consists of mud and sawdust mixed with
fine white hard sand. In the last 1,089 feet of this channel, the bottom is composed
entirely of fine, hard, white sand extremely difHeult to remove with a ladder dredge.
This dredging has boon performed to a depth of 15 feet at L.W.O.S.T.
The bulk of the material removed during the last fiscal year came from that
portion of the channel starting opposite the end of the marine slip and continuing
seaward as far as the black buoy. A few scow loads at the latter end of the season
were removed from the upper portion of the harbour at its northern side! This latter
part of the work was 400 feet long and 100 feet wide, the main portion of the dredging
over the bar had a connnon wiclth of 150 feet and a length of about 1,750 feet to a
depth of 15 feet at L.W.O.S.T.

to enable the st^-am packet La Have to make a landing. The area covered was 8,400
square feet with an average cutting of 4-3, giving an average depth at low water of
10 feet. The channel has an average length of 120 feet and an average width of "0
feet. The material taken out consisted of mud and small boulders, the place measure-

expansion factor of 30 per cent.
The dredge was eniploy(^ from August 10 to August 30.
ST. PETERS NARROWS.
J>rrd<iing.
St. Peters narrows, Kichmond rount.v, are situated on tlic southern cud ol tlic
Bras d'Or lakes, and, together with the St. Peters canal, fonn the connecting link for
navigation between the lakes and tlie Atlantic ocean on the south.
Owing to the crookedness and luirrowncss of the navigable channel between the
inlands forming the narrows, the vessels approaching and leaving the canal from and
for the Bras d'Or lakes, were frequentl.v dela.vcd b.v high winds in the channel, and in
order to avoid dangers and delays, it was deemed advisable to improve the navigation
through the narrow.s by widening and straightening the navigable channel at the worst
points, and to deepen it to IS feet at low lake level, which is the depth available in
the canal.
The full scheme for the improvement of navigation in the narrows, involved the
removal of tl.%,190 cubic yards in place at different points, but owing to the large
amount of work to be done to effect, the whole improvement, it was deemed advisable
to remove, at present, onl.v the iiio~l <latigcron« points, which were between the south-
eastern end of Beaver island and the maiiihinil.
The contract for the improvement of tlie channel inv(dving the removal of 30,723
cubic yards of nmd and cla.v in place, off two points, and over an area of about 11S,700

of the removal of mud and .some small rocks from the channel and approach to the
McKay shipyard, situated at the extreme head of the harbour. The length of the
cutting was 44.") feet, the portion opposite the launchway being 100 feet long by 150
feet wide, whilst the remaining 335 feet in length was 50 feet width. Different
portions of this channel and approach were dredged to a depth varying from 5 feet to
8 feet at L.W.O.S.T. The depth obtained was the greatest that could be practically
gotten in the different sections, owing to fact that absolute hard rock bottom lies
immediatel.v underneath, but dredging was done in the channel opposite wharf of !<.
Clow; the frontage between his place and G. ■ A. Cox's wharf; opposite ]\[r. Cox's
wharves; and, at the request of the Shelburne Ship Builders, Ltd., tried to assist that
enterprise by dredging in front of their shipyard; here wo found an absolute ledge
of rock after we had succeeded in removing about 80 yards of round cobble stones.
The material in these latter places, from Clow's wharf to the Shelburne Ship Builders
yard consisted of a hard clay formation, interspersed with small rocks varying in size
from a diameter of three inches to one foot. Below this stratum, which in no place
exceeded a foot in thickness, we found soft mud, but with the ladder dredge it was
particularly difficult to penetrate the top stratum.

Owing to the shoal depth of water carried over the greater portion of Gauthier's
creek, only the smallest class of fishing boats could reach the village at low water. In
order to make the head of the creek accessible at all stages of the tide, improvements
of the channel approach thereto were commenced by the departmental dredge No. 11,
October 26, 1916, but shortly afterwards suspended owing to the plant being ordered
into winter quarters. Operations were, however, resumed again ilay 31, 1917, and
carried through to a satisfactory completion, October 17; the iinantity of material
removed during this time was 29,275 cubic yards, scow measurement, of principally
mud, sand, and brick clay. To facilitate the working of the plant in front of the
fishing stages at upper end of cut it was necessary to overcast 3,080 cubic yards,
place measurement, of mud, about half of which being afterwards redredged and
scowed away.
The work done covering the two seasons consisted of forming a channel through
the flats from point where abandoned in 1S91 up to a small basin near the fishing
stages below the village. This channel has a length of 2,350 feet and width of 60 feet,
carr>-ing on completion S feet at low water spring tides.
Improvement was also made in depth of water along the oxiter end of fishing
stages located at the head of the creek for a distance of 500 feet, the depth now avail-
able being not less than 4A feet off any stage; while the turning basin adjoining was
enlarged and deepened to an average of 7 feet at low water spring tides.
Included in the above quautity is 700 cubic yards, scow, and 300 cubic yards,
place measurement, overcasting, of hard sand, removed to form berths for small vessels
in front of a beach protection work 200 feet in length, situated just within the harbour
entrance. The dredge was employed at this work from .Inly 17 to 20; the dei>th made
being 9 feet at low water spring tides.

SHIPPIGAN GlfLLT.
Dredging.
Two sharp bends in the channel inside the gully have made navigation difficult,
therefore at different times dredging has been undertaken to give a straight course
from the gully inwards towards Shippigan harbour.
During 191^ the removal of the outer point or bend was begun by dredge P.W.D.
Xo. 13, an area about 550 by 75 feet being dredged to 9 to 10 feet at low water ordinary
spring tides where the least depth previously was 4 to 5 feet.
The lower end of the channel across the inner bend was completed, an area about
600 feet long and 0 to 100 feet wide, starting about 1,300 feet inside the breakwater
at the gully, being dredged to about 9 feet at low water. At the uppper end of tjiis
channel, which has a total length of about 2,800 feet, two partial cuts were made
through a shosl section about 1,000 feet long, the larger cut being about 700 feet long
by 30 to 60 feet wide and the depth reached was about 8 to 9 feet.
Work was in progress between 9th July and 29th August and on scattered days
when the weather permitted up to the 19th October.
The materials removed amounted to 25,662 cubic yai-ds. barge measurement, of
mud, sand, and gravel.
SHIPPIGAN IIARBOUU.
Dredging.
Between 20th June and 6tli July and, at different times between the 1st September
and the 12th October, dredging was undertaken by dredge P.W.D. No. 13 to deepen
and extend the berths at the Shippigan public wharf which is situated at the terminus
of the Caraquet railway, and 3 miles from Shippigan gully.
The berth along the inside of the pierhead, 75 feet long, was partly dredged to a
width of about 45 feet, and beyond the pierhead a foundation for a proposed 100-foot
extension and berth was dredged to 10 to 12 feet at low water, nrodging is still
required for berths along the inside of the wharf shorewards of the pierhead for a
total length of 260 feet.
Along the outer or southern side of the wharf, dredging was done in a length of
about 370 feet and average width of about 80 feet to extend the berths shorewards.
Dredging is still required close to the face of this section of the wharf which was close
piled to prevent settlement of the blocks.
Depths of 7 to 8 feet were given where there was previously J to 2 feet at low
water.
The total quantity dretlged was about 27,041 cubic yards of mud, which includes
about 11,731 cubic yards overcast, much of which was afterwards removed in scows
and is included twice in the larger figure.

north channel of lake Huron, opposite St. Joseph island.
Work of constructing a small landing by day labour was commenced on the 15th
August and was completed on the ISth of August, 1017.
The work was necessary in order to facilitate the traffic by launches, including
mail boats, to and from St. Joseph island. Owing to the high-water level of lake
Huron during 1917, the old slab-and-sawdust wall or embankment, which had been
used as a wharf, was submerged. The work consisted of an L-shaped platform, con-
structed on the old slab-and-sawdust landing place, one section of which is 6 feet wide
by 30 feet long. S feet wide by -13 feet long, and 6 feet wide by 12 feet long, giving the

Mission River Revetment Wall. — The n-ork of rectification of cribs Xos. 101 to
105. inclusive. Operations in connection with this work were commenced on April 7
and closed down on November 12 last, when the work was accepted from the con-
tractors, subject to their agreeing to perform any minor repairs that might be found
necessary after an inspection early this spring.
Two different and yet somewhat similar methods were used in performing this
work, viz. : (1) the method used in connection with cribs Nos. 102 and 103, where it
had been found necessary to remove all of the old concrete superstructure, and (2)
the method used in the rectification of cribs Nos. 101, 104, and 105, where the old
concrete superstructure had been left in place.
In the former case, the cribs were raised in timber to the original reciuired eleva-
tion of the cribs below L.W.L., the raised sections of cribs not only being secured to
the old crib-work, but the lower cross-ties of the raised sections being spaced at 2J-foot
centres and projecting beyond the front face of crib-work 15 inches so as to rest on
the piling, which was driven as part of the work of rectification at the spacing stated,
and was secured by screw bolts and drift bolts to the old crib-work. In addition, an
iron stirrup was placed over the top of every alternate projecting cross-tie and was
bolted to the old crib-work with drift bolts, after the raised section of these cribs had
been secured in place, then two piles were driven to solid foundation through eacli of
the rear pockets of these cribs; heavy rocks and broken concrete were then placed as
filling in and along the rear of these cribs to about L.W.L., and the concrete super-
structure, including the concrete blocks that had been salvaged, was replaced.

addition, a pair of piles was driven in each of the rear pockets of these cribs to solid
bottom, and the stone filling in rear of the concrete superstructure wa.s brought to
about L. W. L. with heavy rock and old broken concrete. The concrete superstructure
of this section of the work then scarified, the old bollards removed and new mas<
concrete was poured, in order to bring the work to tlie established datum, and the
bollards were replaced. The waling along the front of concrete superstructure was
then renewed.
All of the above work was performed by force account under clause 36 of con-
tract, with the exception of the placing of new concrete, new concrete blocks, new
waling, and iron above water.
Mission liiver lievetmenl Wall: Repair and renewal of waling along the front
face of superstructure of the revetment wall in tlie G.T.P. terminal basin and slips
were performed between 11th and 22nd of November.
Dredging: Dredging was performed in this harbour during the present season, by
the Great Lakes Dredging Co., Limited.
The work done, which consists in widening and deepening the Kaministikwia
river and ^Mission channel, was jierformed by dredges No. 6 and Dominion, between
the following dates, viz: Dredge No. 6, May 6 and November 27, and dredge Domi-
nion, May 15 and June 23, and from July 30 to November 30 last, on which date all

of the dredging these cables were relaid in a common trench a short distance above the
bridge, at a depth of 30 feet below L.W.L., the trench being backfilled with broken
shale and gravel to an elevation of 26 feet below L.W.L. By far the greater part of
this section of the river is now practically at the required elevation, and it was
endeavoured to establish this point by sweeping to a depth of 25 feet below L.W.L. ;
it was found, however, that there were several small shoals whicli will require removal
during the coming season.
Certain shoal areas found to exist in that section of the river lying between the
Empire elevator and the McKellar channel, and which extended for the most part
along and adjacent to the dockage on the north side of the river, were removed to
subgrade, a total quantity of 86,404 cubic yards, scow measurement, being dredged in
this instance. .
The total quantity rcimoved this season in widening and deepening the Ivaminis-
tikwia river was 447,938 cubic yards, scow measurement.
Misxion -Channel: Deepening and the removal of a number of shoals was per-
formed over a large section of this channel, extending from its confluence with the
Kamiuistikwia river to a point opposite the upper end of the Fort William coal dock,
the quantity dredged being 74,322 cubic yards, scow measurement.
The major part of the widening required to be performed in this channel, along
its northerly side and extending from a point opposite the Fort William coal dock to
the shore line of island No. 2, in Thunder bay, was completed during the present

REPORT Of I HE CHIEF EXdlSEHR 27
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19
Authority was given to proceed with dredging required at Wabassa park, the
work to be done by departmental dredge No. IH, and the amount to be dredged being
7,714 cubic yards, scow measurement.
Work was commenced April 30, and completed September 1. Part of this material
was caat over for filling purposes, 4,318-8 cubic yards, place measurement or 6,838
I'uhic yards, scow measurement, were removed.
It was necessary to provide a draught of 12 feet for the landing of steamers at
this location and two sections were dredged over; first on east side of wharf, a section
85 by 160 feet; and secondly, on west side, a section 70 by 120 feet were deepened.
Authority was given to move dredge No. lljf to Oliver Plow Works, to complete
the cleaning up of the section opposite dock, on northeast half of channel.
This work had previously been dredged to grade but on account of filling in, this
section constituted a shoal area which was not available for full draught. The sec-
tion deepened covered a length of 1,000 feet by a width of 300 feet.
Work was commenced May 11 and completed October 9; 24,916 cubic yards, place
measurement, or 29,023 cubic yards, scow measurement, were removed. Dredging
was carried to a depth of 17-5 and 20-0 feet below zero.
Authority was given to do necessary dredging at revetment wall, foot of Catherine
street. Work was commenced June 19, and completed June 20; 285-8 cubic yards.
place measurement, or 352 cubic yards, scow measurement, were removed in dredging
at this section to 15 feet below zero.
The above work was done to remove a shoal area caused by outlet of Catherine
street sewer, which said shoal area caused inconvenience to the landing of the Canada
Steamship Company's steamers at their dock. A section, 47 feet by 265 feet, was
dredged over in removing this shoal area.
Authority was given to do the necessary dredging at Rock Bay wharf. Work was
commenced June 22 and completed July 14; 6.533.3 cubic yards, place measurement, or
6,593 cubic yards, scow measurement, were removed.
Dredging was carried on to 10 feet below zero. A channel 490 feet in length by
85 feet in width, was dredged over to give necessary accommodation.
HAW'KESBURY.
Ilawkesbury is located on the south shore of the Ottawa river, about 58 mile.-;
below the City of Ottawa.
In order to restore the navigable channel to Captain Lawlor's wharf, used for
public traffic, departmental dredge No. 103 continued the improvements started in
1915, principally to remove waste pulp which has accumulated in the past si.Nteen
years between the Riordon pulp mills and Cobb's island. The dredge operated here
from June 6 to November 20, under an agreement with the Riordon Pulp & Paper Co..
Ltd. During this period, the total yardage removed was 58,289 (scow measurement),
of which i>3,975 was waste pulp, 4,314 cubic yards clay and sand, and 131 boulders
(place measurement). Eleven single outs, 25 feet wide, were made, aggregating 6,159
lineal feet to grade elevation 118, or original bottom.
On August 4. departmental dredge No. 103 also removed 325 yards clay in connec-
tion with the laying of a new water main for the R.P. & P. Co., under an agreement
with Fuller & Co.
KINCAUDINIi.
Dredging.
Authorit.v was given to accept the offer gf the C. S. Boone Dredging Company to
do tho necessary work at a rate of 34 cents per cubic yard, place measurement, with
a total excavation of 14,668 cubic yards.
28 REPORT OF THE CHIEF EyOISEER
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
By authority, the total amount to be excavated was increased to 1G,332 cubic yards,
place measurement.
Work was commenced July 20, by dredge Kingsford and completed August 24,
and consisted in dredging a channel width of 50 feet between piers for a length of S50
feet, as well as a bell-mouth entrance of 250 feet in length with a niaxinuun width of
150 feet.
In inner harbour a section of 200 feet in width by 405 feet in length was dredged
leading to the People's Salt and Soda Company's dock. The excavation was carried
to a depth of 14 feet below the zero water level.
RfNGSTON.
The completion of the erection of thn bascule bridge and installation of ajipur-
tenances thereto. TraflSc over the roadway and bridges was formally opened on April
16 and the bascule has been in .successful operation since July 18, the records showing
a total of 776 lifts from July 25 to December 14. when navigation closed.
The object of the work is to provide a highway across the Cataraqui river, together
with wharfage facilities. The bascule is built over the channel leading into the inner
harbour and Anglin's bay and designed to be lifted so as to permit vessels to pass in
and out. Depth of channel under lift .span 22 feet; depth of harbour inside, not yet
completed, 16 feet, both with reference to lowest water of lake Ontario.
MlDI.ANn.
Dredging.
Authority was given to dredge an area 400 feet in length along the front of the
launching face of the Jlidland Dry Dock Company and out to the 21-foot contour, the
depth to be 21 feet below elevation 5S0-0. This work consisted in the removal of the
slab docks, mud, clay, and sand. The total fpiantity removed amounted to 07,073
cubic yards, scow measurement; authority was given to extend the work an additional
length of 215 feet. The quantity dredged amounted to 26,908 cubic yards, scow
measurement. The whole work was done b.y dredge P.W.D. No. 109 and was completed
November 26, 1917. Both areas were swept and found to be 21 feet below zero of
gauge elevation 580-0.
POINT KDWAUI).
Dredging.
Point Edward is at the entrance of the St. Clair river, south end of lake Huron.
The strong current in the river and lake storms wash sand and gravel into the
iiiiiuth of the river, making it necessary to dredge each year to maintain a navigable
depth.
According to a verbal agreement witli tlic Di.strict Engineer Officer of the United
States War Dcpartinent, it is agreed tiiat neither side will permit dredging dw^pcr
than 23 feet iielow the zero of the water gauge, elevation 57^-51 at Point l'"(lward and
any point in the river between the international tunnel and lake Huron.
The sand and gravel in this part of the river, on tiie Canadian side, is of a com-
nuTcial value, and it has been found satisfactory to grant a dredging company per-
mission to remove it free, tiie gravel bocomiiig their jiroperty. For the purpose of
giving effect to this agreement, and regnilating llii' dredging, an agreement was made
with the Chick Contracting Ciim|iany of Windsor, permitting them to dredge i>etween
Cromwell street, Sarnia, and Point Edward, providing thiy undertake to supply all
Cuniidian municipalities and interests along the St. Clair and Detroit rivers with
(fr;n,.l .,» ,, regulated price.

The city of Port Arthur, Port Arthur — Kenora district, has a fine natural location
on the shore of Thunder bay near the northwestern end of lake Superior.
Temporary Pile Protection Breakwater.
To provide adequate protection for the grain elevators being constructed in the
north end of the harbour, pending the construction of further extensions to the Bare
Point breakwater, tenders were called in November, 1917, for the construction of a
pile protection breakwater.
Advice was received on December 2-t that the contract had been awarded to the
Thunder Bay Harbour Improvement Company.
Work was commenced on ITth .Tanuarj' and the final estimate in favour of the
contractors was sent on March 19, 1918.
This breakwater was built in two sections of 753 feet long each. It consisted
of:—
(a) One continuous row of round piles, approximately 4.5 feet long with two
waling strips attached;
{h) One row of round piles spaced 5 feet centre to centre longitudinally and
driven alternately at 6 feet from the guide piles;
(c) One row of round piles spaced 5 feet centre to centre longitudinally and
driven 10 feet from the guide piles with a waling strip attached;
id) One row of round anchor piles placed and driven close to waling strip attached

Sediment is deposited in the winding basin and between the piers by Otter creek.
The I'hanncl east and south of the breakwater continually collects sediment and sand

Work of dredging began April 9 and stopped July 14; it was resumed on
November 12, but owing to a serious break in the dipper on the 14th it was disc/)n-
tinued for the season.
Surveys of the harbour were made April 9 and July ~'- The following table is

It will be noted that the expansion factor is unusually large; this is probably
due to the large quAintit.v of sediment and sand deposited during the progress of the
work between April 9 and July T. The navigable depth during 1917 was much better
than in 1916, owing to the bottom being lower and the lake level unusually high.

work. Some of the work performed by the dredge for Contractor llogau was covered
by a schedule of contract price; other work, such as digg^ing baUast stone, was not
covered by dredging price, the contractor being paid for the ballast stone in the work.
The total yardage removed for the Government and for Contractor ITogan's work,
including crib seats, ballast stone, etc., amounted to 99,311 cubic yards; at a total
cost of $10,670.79, being an average price of 16.9 cents per cubic yard scow nicivsure-
ment.
During the month of June, a contract was entered into with },[. J. Ilogan, and
465 cubic yards of clay removed in front of the revetment wall on the west side of the
harbour near the highway bridge, at a cost of IS cents per cubic yard, total $83.70,
and the material was placed behind the revetment wall. The dre<lging was done to
accommodate the Cleveland and Port .Stanley passenger stemncrs ; when the company
undertook to operate its steamers it found that on account of the difficulty in obtain-

RONDEAU.
Dredging.
Rondeau is an important port of entry and harbour of refuge at Point aux Pins,
north shore of lake Erie.
It was found necessary to deepen the dock; this was done b.v Public Works dredge
No. in working from July 21 to July 28. The quantity removed was 11,446 cubic
yards scow measurement at a cost of $1,773.29, equal to 15.4 cents per cubic yard
scow measurement.
TORONTO.
(This work is described in the annual report for 1915.)
The city of Toronto, with a population of half a million, and situated near the
head of lake Ontario, possesses an exceptionally fine land-locked harbour, known as
Toronto bay.
During the past season, one 100-foot crib was sunk and ballasted, 1,41)0 lineal fi^t
was levelled up and capped, and, of this, 4.'50 lineal feet has been lUKired witli 4-inch
hemlock. Some rectification work was also performed, 300 lineal feet of cribwork
being made acceptable to the department. Dredging done during the year amounted
to 5,679 cubic yards. This section of the work was commenced in Ifa.v, 1914, and
since that date, 4,.340 lineal feet of cribwork has been placed and the necessary round
piles driven along front and rear faces.
^here extra depth of water was encountered, cribs resting therein were built 20
feet wide at the base and stepped in to the standard 16-foot width on top.
Srctton " C ". — (Ship cliannel and turning i>asin. On this .aoction of tlie work
excellent progress has been made practically all the old substructure work has been
rectified and a considerable length of new wall has been placed. Of the rectification,
only about 65 lineal feet of wall have yet to be made to conform with the requirements
of the Department, and 5,140 lineal feet of entirel.v new substructure has been placed. "^
Of the concrete superstructure, 16.033 cubic yards have Ixen pouretl. Thus, of the
total. 13,002 lineal feet in the .«liip channel, 2,060 lineal feet have bo<Mi completed,
4,470 lineal feet ref|uire only the top lift of the s\iperstriicture. (Tiff lineal feet have
the first lift or slab plaee<l, and 5,862 lineal feet require the whole sup<>rstru<'tnre.
In the turning hnsin, practically all ro\ind piles, caps, and stringers are in place.
All this work, or 3,7S7 lineal feet, has been done during the past season.
Tt is interesting to note that the contractors, appreciating the difficulty of per-
forming this work under water, have built a levee around the site of the different
nKi'onr of tiik chief fs<:i\ef.I} 33

Halls, and by tlie aid nt ijunips are enabled to hold the water-level at a point 2 fet-t
below the top of bent piles. Thus the structure being exposed to view, the (juality and
progress of the work are both improved.
During the year, S4T,.j2T cubic yards were removed from the ship channel and
turning basin by hydraulic dredge, and deposited as backfill. Dredging necessary to
build walls on this sccticni of the work amounted to 32,.529 cubic yards for the same
I)eriod.
Extra work done at corner " K" — Sections "C" and "D". — Owing to the soft
material encountered near corner "K", it was found necessary to use piles of greater
length than used in other parts of the wall, also to supply additional anchorage 60-
foot round piles and GO and 76-fpot sheet-piles were used as conditions warranted ; the
latter being of such length as to reach the rock, and being shod, have obtained a toe-
hold in the rock, thereby preventing any sliding of the wall.
Additional anchorage was also provided by driving piles 50 feet behind the stan-
dard anchorage and extending the 2-inch rods back to them, thereby preventing an.v
overturning tendency of the wall.
The substructure of this work has now been completed at an additional cost of
$-14,4il5.59 more than the standard type of walls called for by the plans and specifica-
tions.
All of this work has been done in the dry, being within the area where the water
has been reduced to 4 feet 9 inches below the ordinary lake level.
Section D. — Eetaining walls, northern slip and marginal wan. — That portion of
the contract Iniown as the northern slip or Don diversion channel was completed read.y
for back-fill during the fiscal year 1916-17, as was also the north marginal way wall.
On section WW I, known as Poison's extension (924 feet in length), the whole
substructure has been rectified. The design of this wall has been altered so that the
timber superstructure is now replaced by a combination of concrete and timber.
During this year, the substructure of sections KV and YY known as the south
marginal way wall, 1,350 feet in length, has been rectified and the first two lifts of
concrete superstructure have been completed, 1,856 cubic yards having been poured.
Work on the 900-foot ventilating channel was started during the year, and all of
the substructure on the 1,800 feet of wall has been completed, with the exception of
about 100 feet at the north end.
In order to build these walls it was necessar.v to dredge 60,27.'? cubic yards of
material, of which 0';.629 cubic yards were within the channel itself.

The object of the work at this place is to iirovidc a harbour of refuge for vessels
plying in the northern waters of lake Winnijieg.
During the past season, the aiiproiich to the harbour begun in 1916-17 (see report
for fiscal year ending ]\rarch .31, 1917, page 50) was continued, a cut 100 by 30 feet
with an average cut of 2-5 being made. Approximately at right angles to this approach
and at the outer side of the liarbour. a cut 510 by 50 feet, with an average cut of 2-.'i
was also made.
The projKised harbour will be 500 by 300 feet when complete and the work of the
past season still leaves an area of .WO by 2.50 feet untoiu'hed. Tt will also be necessary
to deepen the portion alread.v dredged.
The material removed consisted almost entirely of granite boulders, with .some
sand ; the boulders were cast over towards the lake in order to provide a breakwatei",
and the amount of material removed was 3.161 cubic yards, place measure.

During 1914 and 1915, the original tortuous channel over the tidal tints between
Como.x bay and the mouth of the Courtenay river had been straightened by dredging
a new channel 3,000 feet long and 10 feet wide by means of the departmental dredge
King Edward. *
During the latter eml of the iiast fiscal year, tlie orange-peel bucket dre<lge
Victoria cut a channel 80 feet in width, by removing numerous l>oiilders and snags and
providing additional depth over two bars, at the river moutii and below the town of

As a further im])rovenient to the steamboat channel at this point, two additional
cuts were made during the fiscal year lt)lT-lS west of and parallel to the cut of 1910-
17, giving a 3()() foot channel between the s-and bar and island, with a minimum dejjtli
of 8 feet of water at low water. The spoil bank piled to the west of the cut practically
cuts off all flow of water on this side at the low-water stage, and this eonc-entrates the
full volume of the river through the cut. It is expected that further silting-in of
channel at this point will be eliminated.
Work here was commenced by P.W. dredge -No. -ill on November .5, 1917, and

LILLOOET Bn'Efi.
The Lillooet river drains the Lillooet lakes, and passes through a flat countin
known as Pitt meadows, before it empties into the Pitt river about two miles from
it? junction with the Frascr river.
A request was made and authority was granted to clear and deepen the channel
of this river, from the cut made last fiscal year, up to the thii-d bridge, a distance of
about 3,500 feet ; iu this distance the channel was deepened and the bends in the river
were straightened, the material being thrown out on each side. About 34.<ii!l cubic
yards of material were removed.
To do this work, a dredge was hired, at the rate of $5 per hour while actually
dredging, and delays of more than half an hour for breakdowns or putting on fuel
were deducted. The total cost was $2,260, which included $245 for inspection. The
work was started June 22, 1917, and completed August 15, 1917.
LONG BAV FLOAT.
On September 22, 1917, authority was given to move the government float from

The dredge King Edward proceeded to S(|uamish, at the head of Howe sound;
125,800 cubic yards of material were removed in 1916-17 and on June 13, 1917, work
was resumed, but it was found that during the freshet in the Squamish river a great
deal of material was brought down and filled up the dredging that had been done.
On July 5, instructions were received to remove the dredge and work at Ladner;
4.3,135 cubic yards were removed during this time; this dredging was done to 8 feet
at low tide, but this depth could not be maintained on account of the material that
was brought down the river at low tide.

Vancouver is the largest city on the west coast of Canada, has a population ol
110,000, and is the western terminus of several railways, also the Canadian sliipping
point to China, Japan, and all oriental jxirts.
The dredging done this year, consists in the removal of 234,780 cubic yards from
the north side of the Narrows, and 117,910 from Parthia shoal. The object of tlio work
as originally laid out was to widen the Narrows to 1,200 feet, deepen the channel to 35
at low tide and to remove Parthia shoal to the same depth. The work on the north
side of the channel was started April 12, and October IS, 1917, operations were com-
menced on Parthia shoal, which was finished on March 19.
Parthia shoal was dredged to 36 feet, which included 1 foot subgrade. but it was
found by sweeping that there were large boulders there which wore too big for the
dredge to handle. The total amount of material removed from tlic north shore of the
Narrows and Parthia shoal since work commenced is 4,139,260 cubic yards, scow
measurement.
VICTORIA.
Piers 2 and 3.
Filling was done between the walls of the piers and behind the bulkheads; 534,482

Ferry Slip and Traclage.
The construction of a ferry slip and the necessary trackage liaving a total length
of 0,600 feet consisting of a main line with tail track, three tracks on ajsproach trestle
and apron, surface tracks on both sides of pier i, depressed track in the centre of pier
2, and storage track.
The slip designed to meet any three-track car barge being operated by either the
Canadian Pacific Railway or the Great Northern Railway, was commenced in Decem-
ber and was in operation on March 26, 1918.
Dredging.
The dredging carried out during the past year had as its main object the further
improvement of the channel to James bay by the removal' of rock to the south of
Pelly island, also the removal of rock to the east of Songhees point to provide addi-
tional facilities for vessels leaving the Canadian Pacific Railway wharves and the
removal of Turpel's rocks in the centre of the upper harbour. The navigable area
is being gradually increased year by year, and the grade of 20 foet below low water
over areas already covered is maintained. The following plant, working on single
shift, assisted with the above work: Dredges Ajax and Mudlark, and Lobnitz rock
breaker No. 1 worked during the whole of the year, while rock-drill plant No. 2 worked
from April 1 to May 19, and July 25 to October 12. The dredge Ajax paid two visits
to Nanaimo during the year, also working at Powell river.
Upper Harbour. — Since the establishement of the shipbuilding industries in ibe
upiKT harbour, the work of the dredging ii)laut has been concentrated to a considerable
extent in improving that part of the harbour fronting the laur.ching ways of the
Cameron-Genoa Shipbuilders and the Foundation Company, with the result that the
areas fronting the launching ways of both these yards have been deepened to 20 feet
below low water. The removal of Turpel's rocks Xos. 1 and 2 in the eentre of the
upi)er harbour has been undertaken, and where a former depth of 6 feet below low
water obtained, there is now a depth of 20 feet below low water. The Ajax also
dredged to grade a considerable area between the Victoria ^lachinery Depot and the
Esquimau and Nanaimo Railway bridge from depths of 16 to 19 feet below low water.
Lower Harhour. — Hospital rock, east of Songhees point, was cut back about 80
feet, giving this adJitional width at the point where the Canadian Pacific Railway
ferry boats go astern before leaving the harbour. The channel lying south of the
Esquimau and Nanaimo Railway bridge was deepewed where silting up had taken
place and additional depth provided fronting the Hudson's Bay Company's wharf.
The north side of the main channel between Songhees point and the entrance to West
bay has been further improved during the year, resulting in an additional width of 100
feet by the removal of rock from the south of Pelly island, and an increased width of
150 feet has been provided between Pelly island and the entrance to West bay.
The middle of the main channel immediately south of Pelly island was deepened at
l)oints where silting-up had taken place. At times when the dredges were not engaged
on work of greater importance the work of providing an alternative chaiiuel to the
north of Pelly island has been undertaken. A further improvement has been made at
Shoal point resulting in an additional width of 100 feet and the original sharp turn
for vessels entering and leaving the harbour has been greatly improved and has enabknl
the beacon to be placed 170 feet southwest of its former position. A considerable area
in West bay and fronting the outer wharves has been dredgoil Ijy the Pacific Dredging
Company to provide fill for the piers under constructinn at Ogdcn iioint.

North side of Channel between Songhees
Point and West Bay 99,C.0(! " "
Shoal Point . 9,150
207,483 cubic yards of Lardpan, clay and
silt were removed, making a total during the year, scow measureniont, of 217,517 cubic
yards.
The main channel from the harbour entrance to James ba.v is now in a good
navigable condition and the same applies to the upper harbour. When conditions allow
the resumption of operations, the work of first importance is the further removal of
rock to the south of Pell.v island and the large area of rock between Songhees point
and the E. & X. Railwa.v bridge (Hospital and Discover.v rocks).

DRV DOCKS.
CHAJII'I.AIN DRY IX'CK.
The rock (,xeiivatioii was completed by the end of October, 11)17, to its full depth
and width, except for little trimmings on top, which will be done next year.
The total quantity of excavation, this year, amounted to 70,100 cubic yards.
The concrete walls of the dock were completed from station 7 + •}.'> m) to station
0 -r !)0, except for the timber slide in the lirst part of the dock, and from section 0 + 90
to 0 + 00, the walls on each side are more than half completed- The bottom of the
dock is completed to station 0 + 90. Early in tlio spring, they completed the pump-
house foundations. The concrete work could have been completed at the head of the
dock but owing to unusual cold weather and owing to the testing of the floating eais-
son whicJi took more time than they expected, they had to stop work for the winter.
During this ,vear, the total yardage of concrete was 37,-100 cubic yards in the
dock proper and 5,500 cubic yards for the crib superstructure.
During this season, two cribs were sunk, one 75 feet long at the north end of the
western guide pier, and the other one at the end of the eastern guide pier. There are
two more cribs 1o he sunk, they were to be set in place this fall, but the dredge did
not have time to clean the seats before the ice formation.
The total yardage of cribwork amoimted to 5,300 cubic yards.
The Montreal Harbour Commission dredge started work July ~ and stopped
November IC. During this period, the channel was dredged out to .'10 feet at L.AV.O.
S.T. After the main dredging was done, cleaning up the channel bottom was started
but as it was late the dredge had to leave for the winter.
The only work left on submarine rock dredging for next spring is to lyimplete the
cleaning of the channel bottom and to complete the dredging of the two crib scats.
The total yardage taken out this sunnner amounts to 34,400 cubic yards.
In the boiler room and generator room, the balance of machinery has been al!
t-i't up but not properly tested yet.
The total work done in power house this year amounted to $20,080.70.
Early in the spring, the foundations were conipletoil and soon after, ])unip hou-<'
was biiilt. During the summer and the fall, the erection of the three main pumps aiifl
of the two drainage pumps were carried o\it. The tile work in ]tump house is partl.\
finished and will be completed by the spring.
The two caissons were completed this year, exccpl U>v the Hunting eni<«on on
which two motors for the pvimps are not set and tested yet. '
All the sluii-e gate valve? were .set and coupleil with their motors, and 70 per cent
of the underground wiring of all sizes is completed.
KSl|ll.\IAI,T faiWTM: DOCK.
During the fiscal year ending March 31, lOlS, eighteen ships were doekod for
cleaning, painting ami repairs, occup^-ing the dock one hinidred and ten days in all.
Repairs were effected to Xos. 1. 2, and 3, main boilers by the use of an electric
welding plant, wJiich will add considerably tf( the life of each boiler.
The coal hunkers, a b\iilding 57 l>.v 32 fr'ct, was removed and n-placed by a new
building on concrete foundations.
The latrines \y-v 'i-.-i replaced by a new building 31 )■>• 1" f.vt, construetod on
concrete piers.
Corrugated imn \v;i- used in the buildings constructed.
The staff has been otherwise variously employe<l in attending to the docking and
nndocking of ships, the care of buildings and macliinery, and si)ccial attention was
given to the iuoide chambers of the rjiisson by scalinc and painting. With the excep-

tioii of some minor renewals, the plant is now in good working condition. The elec-
trically-driven 6-ineh vertical centrifujral pump installed in the past fiscal year has
proved vei7 satisfactory. The total expenditure to March 31, 1918, was $17,811.27.

Repair slip. — The repair slip was operated as usual this season. A total tonnage
of 4,666 was handled Of this, 1,284 tons were departmental and 3,382 tons commercial.
Total revenue from this plant amounted to $1,7]4.3(!. The expenditure is
$3,512.21.

Timiskaming reservoir. ■ '
Downstream from the Ontario sluices, all holes scoured in the riprap apron were
filled with quarried rook at the beginning of the year. The spring flood ran 80,(XlO
c.f.s. maximum, and there was about 58,000 c.f.s. mean How for June. The result was
that scouring in the heavy rock bed again took place, and re-tilliiig was necessary,
the work being done between December and March.
The winter was extremely cold, and labour was poor and scarce, so the re-filliug
was slow until the middle of January. With increased force, better progress was
made and as far as possible large rock was used, much of it being \ cubic yards to
li yards. To end of January, 2,800 cubic yards were placed, and in February, 1,500
yards more up to the 18th, when track had to be taken up from below the Ontario
sluices in order to feed storage.
During March, 1,200 cubic yards of rock of large size was placed below the (}uo-
bec sluices. Some excavation, chiefly boulder material, was done upstream from the
Ontario dam in order to clear the approach flow-way of the ridges left bv steam
shovel. All excavation was closed down in April.
Timiskaming reservoir was filled to elevation 587-9 by May 25, 1917. and remain-
ed so till the middle of September. Storage was given out for aboyt a month, the
surface falling about 1\ feet. The autunni rains refilled the reservoir to elevation
580, and from December till end of March about 10 feet was drawn off.
Qvhxze rexrrvoir.
Durinjr the sjn-iiig, arrangements were completed with I'cgard to the flooded tim-
ber around the reservoir and. after a conference with the Inmbermen and power
owners, it was agreed to fill the reservoir to elevation S64 as soon as possible. This
meant raising the main road at several points in Latulippe township, and reconstruct-
ing the bridge-s, the work being begun in June. All the bridges were finished by the
winter but bad weather in this cla.y and the difficulty in secujing teams and labour
delayed the earthwork, so that it could not all be finished before freezing weather.
Six pile trestle bridges were constructed, the total length being SOO feet, and
1,S50 feet of approach embankments were made. Besides this. 1.500 feet of road diver-
sion was finished.
The Latulippe settlers asked very unreasonable price* for the land flooded, and
refuse to consider the offers made by Mr. Cross. Gradually, however, the greater
number have accepted the very generous prices of $50 per acre for cultivated, $20 per
acre for slash, and ifs") per acre for busli land.

At Quiiize dam itself some repairs were made to the concrete piers, where spalliii>;
continues from time to time.
The lop drive was passed without trouble in tne spring, and then a storage of
about 5 feet in depth was held upon the reservoir.
The reservoir was filled to elevation 859-5 by the end of ilay. 1917. The spring
llood ran 4--2,600 c.f.s. maximum and a mean of 36,000 c.f.s. for June. Alx>ut 4J feet
of storage was used to October, then the autumn rain raised the surface to elevation
857 in the first week of November, whence it fell, to 1st January, .3J feet, and another
foot to 31st March. The shallow channel between the islands at the head of the river
prevented its being drawn down further, although the sluices were wide open.
Kipau-a reservoir.
There was no work of any conse<iiience done in connection with the dams. The
reservoir was filled to elevation SS4-9 on June (5. 1917, and remained about that level
to the middle of July, whence it fell 3J feet to the middle of October. It was then
fairly constant till 20th January, 1918, whence it was drawn down 5 feet to the end of
March. The greatest outflow was 7,400 c.f.s., June 9, 1917, and the meau for June was
4,700 c.f.s.
Chaudiere Falls, Ottawa.
The result of the storage may be judged from the following mean monthly flows
at the Chaudiere mills:
October 27.800 c.f.s. Januar>' 21,«00 c.f.s.
Xovember 29.000 " February 19.300 "
December 27.000 " March 21.SO0 "
It will be seen that, generally, the flow was over 20,000 c.f.s.. which is considered
ample for all the manufacturers. Under natural conditions the flow would not have
been half the above in February and March, as the winter was one of the coldest on
recf>rd, and for ninety da.vs there was no thaw. In February, there was a minimum
of 17.300 c.f.s. due to anchor ice conditions in the Deschenes rapids. Under natural
conditions anchor ice would have affected the flow all through the winter.
Metering.
Flow moa-surementi have been continued at J.-a Passe in order to fix the flow at
that point with relation to the height of Coulonge lake. Meterings are also Ijeing made
to define the relation between the flow in the Calumet and Rooher Fondu channel,
and the party also measured Coulonge river. Black river, and the Mnttawa summit
waters.
From time to time, measurements are taken of the Gatineau, Rideau. and the
main Ottawa at Besserer's Grove, the work being done by the party that rates the
metering instruments at Dow lake.
Another party is stationed at Carrillon. measuring the main river also the
Lievre, Rouge, and North rivers. The measurements at this point, added to the
measurements of the St. Lawrence at Iroquois, are for use in connection with Montreal
harbour levels.
In connection with maintaining Quinze reservoir, the flow contour elevation 864,
has been surveyed through Beauncville township, and levels required for the road
work in Latulipi)e township have been given by the same party.

Locks and Dam.
Work performed during tlii.s fiscal year is as stated below.
The completion of the fulirieation of steel for the floating caisson for lower lock
entrance.
Excavation for the mattress on the north shore of the river above the dam. The
material was removed b.v a suction dredge and pumped to the government property on
the Limoilou side west of the ('anadian Northern railway, to raise the surface to
make it available for building or commercial purposes in the future.
Permanent steel girders to carry the Canadian Northern and Quebec Railway
tracks have been erected over the sluiceway openings in the dam to replace cribwork
which has to be removed for the construction of the sluiceway and piers.
Total expenditure for year, $101,174.50.

Yamaska, a thriving village situated on both sides of the Yamaska river, about
eight miles from its mouth, where it empties in the St. Lawrence. Two miles below
the village is situated the Iwk and dam built by the Department of Public Works in
order to facilitpte navigation on this river.
Work of repair done by day labour, commenced nn October 11, and Wiis com-
pleted October 31, 1917, and consisted in reconstructing the four upper tiers of the
dam at the little channel and making a concrete flooring on top of the dam which is
used as a roadway.
In the execution of the above works 7,207 feet b.m. of timber, GO bags of cement,
and some iron were used.
During the fiscal year 1917-lS, the expenditure was $671.15.
Manitoba.
St. .-Indrews Lock and Dam.
The lock and dam was in operation from May S to November 29.
In the month of August, it was found necessary to raise the curtains of the dam
to remove brushwood, etc., to facilitate the better operation of the same. Owing to
the small discharge of the Red river, canvas was placed at diiTerent points on the
clam to prevent undue leakage.
During the navigation seasf>n, a gross tonnage of 25,635 passed through the lock,
and 530 small craft. Passengers to the number of 5,S97 were carried.
Excursion boats made daily trii>s on the water regulated by the dam.
SLIDES AND BOOMS.
Ottawa Rivkh Works — Ordinahv RKPAms.
Xortli Chaadiire Station. — A new guide bonm was provided for the entrance t..

stop-logs were mounted upon a new frame. A temporary apron of timber was placed
fit tbe outlet of the lower slide to prevent the logs from being damaged by striking
the rocky bed of the river at stages of low water.
South Chaudiere Station. — The expenditure at this station was for materials for
repairs to the storehouses and guide booms at entrance to slide; the work having been
performed by the slide master and his men.
TUIBLTARIES OF OTTAWA K!\ i;r..
Uatineau River. — The repairs on this river consisted in placing extra screw bolts
to strengthen the main boom and in repairing the boats and station-house.
Mudatuaska River. — At the mouth of the Madawaska. the top of one of the piers in
connection with the retaining boom was rebuilt. This pier is 14 feet by IT feet at the
water's edge, and 11 feet by 13 feet at top, the height of the new work being 5J feet.
Two fenders of 10-inch square timber were placed on the face of the pier.
At Arnprior the guide booms were repaired, and two of the piers at head of the
-lide were rebuilt from low water level, a height of 6 feet. One of tho piers is 18 feet
by 22 feet and the other is 15 feet by 16 feet. A cedar post was placed in each pier, and
additional stonetilling was provided lo fill the piers.
At- the retaining boom at head of Calabogie lake, five piers were rebuilt from the
water surface. 'Ko. 1. is 22 feet square; No. 2, 24 feet square; No. 3, 21 feet square:
and Nos. 4 and ."i, each 20 feet square.. All the piers are battered so that the size of
each is 7 feet less at top than at water's edge, the height of the new work on each pier
being 8 feet.
At High Falls, the tops of four piers .supporting the guide boom at head of slide
were rebuilt. Nos. 1 and 3 arc 20 feet square at the water line and IS feet square at

Coulongi- River. — Tn the spring of 1917, two breaks occurred in the slide at High
Falls, one on 23rd April and the other on Titb May. On tlie former occasion, tbe
longitudinal stringers broke while logs were running in the slide, and the superstnu-
fure gave way for a length of 4S feet; the other break was caused by a rock slide from
the mountain, which carried out a section .lO feet in length. The damage was repairo<l
with all possible haste, s.i little ilelny was occasioned, in either case, to those using the
slide.
Black- River. — A section of the High Falls slide, 137 feet in length, innnediately
below the bulk-head, wa.s repaired, as the foundation had settled, causing the bottom
cif the slide to sag as mueh as 19 inches below grade at tbe centre of the bow. The
-upcrstructurc was raised to positirm and propc>rly blocked underneath, and damage<l

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19
I'cliiriiira lliicr. — (At llic uiuuth of this river, a pier was built to form a gap t"
allow small craft to pass through the retaining boom. The pier is 16 feet square and
9 feet high. Another pier, the tirst below the wharf, was patched, as some of the top
timbers were decayed.
At Second Chute, ^he expenditure was for pine plank used in repairing the slide.
At Crooked Chute, the camp house was repaired, and an addition was built.
Sections of the floor of slide at the outlet and just below the bulk-head were renewed
with 6 inch material. Posts were replaced in the slide; a course of timber was placed
on the tops of the foot and entrance piers and five stop-logs were made for the bulk-
head. The main controlling dam was repaired, it having been found necessary to
renew several of the cross-ties and longitudinal timbers.
At Thompson's rapids, the outlay was for timber for repairs to the retaining dam.
At head of Lake Traverse, the tops of two piers of the boom were rebuilt. They
are each 16 feet square, battered to 12 feet square at top and 8 feet in height. Each
is supplied with a snubbing post.
At Poplar chute, a glance pier, 48 feet long, 8 feet wide and 5 feet high, had to
be restored. The pier is close-work in front and open in rear.
At McDonald's chute, the main governing dam, 110 feet in length, to the south
of slide entrance, was rebuilt. This is a fiat dam, 9 feet high at rear with an average
face of 10 feet. Two piers at the guide boom required attention; the one on south
side at upper end of boom, 13 feet by 16 feet and 12 feet high, was altogether renewed,
and the other, also on the south side and immediately above the slide, had its top
timbers repaired. Four lengths of guide boom were taken out of the water, damaged
ends were sawn off and new holes were bored well back in the solid timber for the
connecting chains.
The amount chargeable to Cedar lake station was for timber for repairs to the
retaining dam.
CKNERAI.LV.
Iliiliiii'iiii Hirer. — Eleven tons of one-inch diameter B. B. iron chain were provided
and placed on the government boom near the mouth of this river, to guard against
excessive strain, when the water in the river is at spring Hood.
Cfjfdoiif/i' Hirer. — At five different places, portions of the High Falls slide were
rehuilt from the foundations. The old timbers of the latter were removed and laid in
the new to receive the bents which vary in height from 10 to 16 feet; twenty-eight new
bents were placed and five old ones were repaired and strengthened with extra bracing:
126 posts with the usual braces, 8" cross sills and sheathing in sides and bottom at
these five places were all renewed. There were two lengths in the second section. 72
feet and 108 feet; two in the third section, 144 feet and 116 feet; and one in the fourth
section, 7.5 feet. At other ]>laces in the slide, it was found necessary to patch the
sheathing in sides and bottom, also to replace some of the posts. Three stay chains, 2**
feet. 2.') feet, and 21 feet in length were set to steady the superstructure. One end of
each chain is connected to an eye holt which passes through the stringers of slide.
while the other end is made fast to an anchor bolt sunk in the solid rock on the
side of the mountain. The posts supiwrting the bulk-head of slide were repaired and
eleven bars of flat iron were secured to the sides of the head piers, to guard against
abraison from passing logs. One of the guide booms. 12.i feet long, was water-logged,
so two lengths of timber extending the whole length of the boom wore placed on top
.to give greater buoyancy, the upper portion of the boom being planked with 2-inch pine.

Under supervision, the company maintained t)ie whole work in a very satisfactory
manner and made several important improvements rendered necessary on account of
the constant increasing lumber business on the river.
BRIDGES AND ROADS.

Laurier Bridge. — Tlie hand-rail on the top of tlie guard fence, on northern side,
was renewed for the whole length of the bridge, the one on the other side having been
treated in a similar manner previously. The old rail was of rolled steel and was so
badly corroded that holes were eaten completely through the material. All the guard
fence received a coat of paint. Considerable repairs were made to the sandstone pave-
ment on both approaches to the U-idge; fully one-third of which was taken up and
re-laid to grade on the western ai)proach, while at the other end tlie worst jilaces were
attended to. All the pavement re-laid was grouted with cement.
Chaudiere Slide Bridge. — The roadway of this bridge was cleaned, tlie guard fence
on the western side was painted and the pavement was kept in repair. The cast-iron
grating and drainage chambers were kept free of debris throughout the season.
Union Bridge. — The roadway of the Union bridge wms kej)! clean, the iihinkiMg
was patched, and the guard fence was repaired.
Roadu-nii and Bridge Apprnachrx between Otiuiia and Hull. — The pavement on
this thoroughfare was cleaned frequently, and repaired. The wooden guard fence and
pipe rail on the eastern side, from Union bridge to Hull, received two coats of paint
while the gratings and weeper holes received proper attention throughout the year.
During the winter, surplus ice and snow were removed from the roadways of the
bridges and sidewalks, and the latter, when slippery, received a coating of sand to aid
pedestrians who had occasion to use them.
In spring, the usual drains were cut to carry olT the surplus water.
Ontario and Quebec.
Bryson. — The work of repair to this bridge was renewing the roadway at both ends
of the two main spans, with 3-inch pine plank. The portion repaired at the Calumet
island end was 71 feet long; and that at the Bryson village end, IS.") feet, the width of
the planking in both cases being li)J feet. A wheel guard of O-inch square cedar was
laid at both sides and in the centre of the portions renewed. About 2.'> cubic yards of
gravel were deposited at the Calumet island end to bring the roadbed even with the
planking on the bridge.
Chapeau. — The work at this bridge consisted in filling in behind the concrete
retaining walls, on the northern approach, with .«tone and gravel, about 4.''i<l cubic
yards having been used in doing so. The fill on the \ipper side is 1)0 feet long, of an
average depth of 2 feet and extends np tlie bank abont It! feet of an average. The fill
on the lower side is 1<>4 feet in length, 4 feet avernpe dejith nml extends np the bank
an average of 20 feet.
liapidex drs Jonrhims. — The pipe-rail on the bridgi' arros^* tiie inaiii channel of
the Ottawa river, having been disconnected throiigli contraction, had to be joined
again, and at another place on the same bridge, part of the piiiing was missing and
was repaired by a new piece with a coupling. The woollen guard fences on bot1i
approaches to the two bridges were repaired where the hoards were bmki n or ilef. clive;
24 pieces of 1- by j-inch pine having been used for this purpose.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19
On the Ontario approach, a culvert collapsed and this necessitated the placing of
two pieces of cedar, each 10 feet long. The roadway over the culvert was graded with
gravel and stone.
Four sign boards for the regulation of traffic were placed at botii ends of the two
bridges.
MATA?>EDIA IXTERPBOVINCIAL BRIDGE:.
The Matapedia Interproviueial bridge links the two shores of the Restigouche
river, thus uniting the provinces of Quebec and New Brunswick.
The work done during the last fiscal year consisted in the repairing of planks in
a temporary manner, stopping the most dangerous holes in order to render the bridj;c
safe for winter. More extensive ajid necessary work could not be done on account
of weather conditions.
PITTS BROOK.
Pitts Brook is located in the ilatapedia military road, about two miles frnni
Ste. Florence de Beaurivage, in the county of Bonaventure. It is situated in that
part of the road where there is no municipality to take care of its maintenance.
The work done during the fiscal year 1917-18, consisted in the reconstruction of
a bridge, 48 feet in leng-th by 10 feet in width, placed upon two cedar abutments. The
flooring is in ;J-inch deals.
HARRICANA RI\ER BRIDGE.
Traffic Bridge at Amos, Que.
The 'Government of the province of Quebec was authorized by Order in Coiu\cil
of the 4th October, 1917, to proceed with the construction of a fixed wooden bridge-
across the Harricana river, at the village of Amos, Que.
This bridge consists of two spans, continuous over the centre pier, of a total
length of .304 feet, with approaches from the two sliore piers. The latticed trusses are
roofed over. Provision has been made for a clearance of 14A feet above high-water
level, and for lighting the channel span.
The bridge was opened to traffic in the late autumn.
MKSKRAT RIVER (MKATII STATION").
Canadian Pacific Bailway Bridge.
The Camulian Pacific Kailway Company proceeded with the construction of tlicir
new bridge across the Muskrat river, in order to do away with the existing 000-foot
trestle built skew to the stream, over twenty years ago, and which intersects the high-
way bridge (O. C. June 15, 1912).
Piles were driven to a great deptii for the footing of concrete abutments; during
the course of placing the ballast fills to said abutments, the w«rk settled dow'n and
virtually disappeared while, at the same time, the river bottom on either side was
raised several feet. As the new line for this diversion is built through marshy soil,
the company found it necessary to i)urciiase additional land and cut a new channel for
the river, to which the steel span (plate girder S7 feet 2 inches long) has been removed.
This new channel is located some 900 feet from the originally proposed location of
bridge, and is to be maintained by the company.
The new bridge and diversion track were completed in July, and traffic was
diverted thereto on l.")tli .Viigust. 1017.

CAPE BRETOS LIXES.
The various lines have worked satisfactorily and with little interruption through-
out the year. There has been no additional miloagre and no changes in staff. Amounts
for repoling and general repairs were voted as follows:
Xorth River Bridge loop
Marion Bridge-Sydney
Ix)uisbui'g-!Main-a-Dieu
Big Bras d'Or-Upper Kempt Head
Leitohes Creek-Sydney
McComiieks-Brook Village
and Whyeooomagh
Gilliesville-South Side
East Bay
Eskasoni-Grand Narrows
Grand Xarrows-Shenacadie
Big Bras d'Or-Euglishtown
Louisburg-Gabarus
Gabarus-ilarion Bridge
Gabarus-Enoo.
$1,400
$1,600
$1,600
$3,400
The work was carried on under the supervision of the general repairers of the
respective sections. The revenue shows an increase of $1,218 over that of last year.
BAY UV FINDY.
All land lines have ln'cn free fnini interruptions during the yoar, ixcept a section
of the lines at Grand Harbour consisting of six poles which went down during a gale
on October .30-31, but the jioles were reset without delay, and there has been no
further interruptions on this Flaggs Cove-Seal Cove telegraph line throughout the year.
On August 11th, cables number two and one. Whale Cove-Meadow Brook, and
Longs Eddy-Herring Cove, developed leaks. The Tyrian arrived September 8th and
found a bad leak at Dunns Beach, Camixibello, on cable No. 1 in a splice underneath
the cable hut. ilr. ifcDonald also took out a bad leak in cable No. i at Wliale Cove
at high water mark where the armour had been crushed, the c<ire was exiH>>ed through
a split in the rubber insulation, this cable would work with the telephonic, but only for
a few minutes using Morse, the reason I believe, was on account of the ele<'trolytic
action caused by the fishermen throwing pickle on the beach where the cable runs by
a fish-house door, when the telegraph current was put on caused the copper to corrode
and throw a short.
All lines worke<l well up to De<'embcr l.'ttli, when interruptions ocourri^l on Three
Sister Island-Gannct Bock, and Duck Island-Nantucket cables both being brnken, the
former aUiut three quarter mile from Ciannet, and the latter mid-way l)<»tween the
islands. The Tyrian completed rei)airs on (iannet Rock 1st March and I)\ick Island
on 27 Jlarch. Whit« Head-Chene>s Island cable reported interrupted on the 21st
March, was also repaired at this time.
Cable No. 1 I/ongs Eddy-Herring Cove was reported heavily gmundi-d on January
21st was rcMt^^ircfl to working ordiT by Mr. MnT)onald who found a ground in tlie cable
hut at Herring Ove.
The Tyrian left here on March 27th and all enble lines are working goud.
The Seal Covo-South Head, and Big Wrwd Island land linos will need some
attention in the way of insulators; and one or two poles which ore badly decayed will
need to be replaced in the course of the summer.
All lines and cables in this district are working well nt llie pre:.ent time.

MAGDALEN" ISLANDS.
The mileage is the same as last year; no uew offices have been added except a few
private connections: — Dominique Arseneau (agent for the Gorden Pew fisheries)
connects at Father Turbide, Mr. Arseneau pays when he uses the line; another box
was put at Messrs. Wm. Leslie and Co. who bought Mr. Ballantyne's telephone set,
Messrs. Leslie has the connection at my office and Mr, Ballantyne's line formerly
connected here is presently unoccupied but demand for the use of this line has
been granted Mr. F. W. Leslie who will soon have a connection also to my office.
Another private attachment was also made at Mr. Brasset sub-agent for La Banque
Nationale.
Meat Coye cable was interrupted October 11, but was repaired by the S.S. Tynan
October 27. Again December 7, the Meat Cove cable was interrupted and has re-
mained so. The wireless te!egrai)h is handling the traffic but useless to say that a cable
to the mainland principally to Princ(,> Edward Island would be more advantageous.
The Brion island cable has been working well all the year round. It is indeed a
great thing for the fishermen to have this telephone connection in good condition, this
island being one of our greatest fishing ground.
The Entry island line has been in great working condition except for a month
when a gale of wind with thunder and lightning caused trouble which has been
impossible to locate yet. The general repairer and linemen are doing everything to
clear up the situation and it is expected good communications will soon be established.
Notwithstanding war conditions the traffic is increasing, we have double the
business we had when war started that is to say the revenue is twice larger.
There is now a large demand for connections to the mainline, these additional
connections must of course add a surplus of work besides every new connection crowds
the prosent system which is already overtaxed and unless a central is established with a
bigger staff with better wages given, any further connection of any kind must abso-
lutely be limited if any sort of public satisfaction can be expected.
ANTICOSTI ISLANDS.
No additional mileage since last report; Fox Bay Station still closed during win-
ter months, but in connection by telephone with Heath Point office during the fishing
season ; from thence, business is transmitted on telegraph line.
Last season, as per agreement with the Department, arrangements were made to
build four new camps along the island for the use of repairers, which camps are of the
utmost urgency; owing to inability to get suitable boards down here, we were unable
to have these camps built. I hope the department will be able to forward, this season,
to South Point (being central place where camps have to be erected) the boards, so
as to enable us to erect these camps.
Temporary repairs were made to old camps so as to shelter repairers during last
winter. However, windows, doors, sashes and frames were made ready and as soon
as the boards are landed at South Point, carpenters will be sent down to build these
camps.
Stormy weather has again iplayed havoc with our telegraph poles. A few have
been washed to sea and a good number fell on the beach. I am pleased to say that
our land line has been the whole year round in good working order with the exception
of an interruption between Heath Point and South Point stations which lasted from
October 2:5rd to November 1.3th.
The Oaspc. — South West Point cable, I am glad to say. is working very well ever
since repaired by the staff of cable-ship ss." Ti/rian " in May, 1913.
The North Shore cable became again interrupted on October 15th, 1017. and ii
still out of working order. The cable-ship ''Ti/rian" was over last fall, but owing to
72 . nf:PARTMh7\T or I'l HI.IC WORKS

rough weather and lateness in the season, she was compelled to go Uiick without a
ihanee to repair it.
The number of telegraph stations is the same as reported in my Inst report, viz.:
eight in number. All the members of the staff are the same.
NORTH .SIIOIU: ST. l.AWRE.XCK LIXKS,
Ea^l of BiTsimis.
The line v/orked continuously, the intui-ruiitions being lew and of short duration
and local character.
No change of importance has been made in tlie agencies during the year, Miss
^lary Chevalier of Bonne Esperance died in .lanuary I'.UT and was replaced by Miss
llella Chevalier.
The acconunodation ofhce at Shelter Bay, !' miles east of May Islands was tem-
porarily close<l on May 10th (1917) and accommodation office at Mauitou '.i miles west
of Riviere aux (Jraines has been reopened on October 21st 1917.
A new telephone line wfus built at XatashquiMi in the month of September, 1917, to
establish communication between the two villages there, a distance of live miles. In
October 1917. at Aguanus one mile ami a quarter of telephone line was erected on the
existing poles, to accommodate the people residing on the west side of the river.
West of Jiershni'':.
General repairs were carrieil on throughout this division, the various lines working
satisfactorily. No additional mileage and no change in staff. The revenue shows a
slipht increase over last year.
(il KBIX lOl -M ^ l.lMvS.
The revenue shows an increase nf 40 per cent over the previous year. The lines
worked satisfai'torily and were maintained in gixnl repair.
QIAIU.NT1NI-; LINES.
A.s in previous year.-, nnuiy of our cables were broken by ice and other causes.
The Crane Island-Montmagny cable raised on November 1."), 191G, was rclaid on
May 11, 1917, and worked well throughout the season.
Under special instructions we proceeded to raise this cable on November 2ti, 1917,
which we were unable to do owing to weather conditions and after mudi battling with
the ice succeeded in reaching the St. Frangois wharf with the bateaux and tug where
they remained for the winter. On November 17, the cable was <'arrie<l away by a gas
buoy drifting with the ice.
The Grosse I.sle-Ste. ^fargaret island cable broken in Deei'uilier, 19I(i, was repaired
in Ma.v, 1917. The He aux I'eaux-Cirosse Isle cable wii^ interrupted on December 22,
191(i. and being badly damage<l ibmiigliiMit its length we reib-il it up and repaired it
as well as possible and relaid it (ui May 19.
The St. Fran(,"oi8-Ile aux Kcaux cable was interrupted on Dei'eniber 22, 1910, was
repaired in Ma.v. 300 feet of now cable having been adde<l.
One of the Ange Gardien telephone cables was interrupli'd on January ."i, 1917,
and repaired in May, 1.%0 feet of new cable being added near Ange Gardien. On

1st. Ke-Cablo: When repairing in June 1917, we found the cable damaged, but
not parted, by ice shoves about six to eight miles off the mainland shore, where the
water is about fifty feet deep. After being repaired it worked well until damaged by
ves.sels on Octubt^r 24, repair of such damage being completed November 12; it again
worked all right until December 9, when it ceased working during a terrific storm
when some vessels are supposed to have caught it in their anchors and broken it. By
instructions from the Department, I am preparing to repair it as soon as ice and
weather permit.
2nd. Ke-Point Pole* branch: The ilorseii Municipal Telephone sjystem had this
branch connected with their system through the Bell Telephone Coy's wires at Lea-

NORTH W^>5T LINES, S.\SKATCHEWAX.
There has lieeu a noticeable improvement over previous years in the proper main-
tenance of the lijie.s, partly due to the keen interest slu>wn by all agents and most of
the linemen, iis well as to the C.P.K. Dynamo at Saskatoon, which proved mi>^t benefi-
cial in attaining this griitifying result.
A few interruptions occurred on the Saskatoon hxjp, but less frequently and of
i>li<>rter duration than formerly.
On the Moose .Jaw-Wood Mountain line, interruptions were frequent during the
month of March, business has been verj' satisfactory -on the whole, especially in view
of existing conditions.
Shifliiu/ line to roadway. — The sum of .%'>,000 was approjjriated for the purpose
of shifting the line to road allowances, of which $2, 6^2.88 was cxpcnde<l in removing
about 1.5 miles in the vicinity of Eagle Creek. This work had to be done in the latter
part of Novemlxu- when the snow was on the ground, and this accounts for the expen-
diture being somewhat higher than it otherwise would have been.
Ri>pai}s and Imirrorements. — -Considerable repairs and improvement-; to buildings
have biH'ii made at .several points, and out of an appropriation of $2,100 for the pur-
jxjse, $1,984 was spent as follows: —
CJreen Lake $100; Onion Lake $300; Glaslyn $349.22; Willow Bunch $87.75, an<l
Battleford $1,147. Of this latter amount, $797 was used for the construction of an
office for the District Sui)erintendent, and the balance in painting the whole of the
buildings on the promises.
Wood Mountain line — re-polimj. — .\n appropriation of $5,000 was made for the
purpose of re-poling the Wood Mountain — Willow Bunch line, of which .$4,681.65 was
expended. This amount was only sufficient to purchase the poles and to have same
haul(>d to the ground. X further sum will be required to complete the work.
Battleford — Isle-la-Orosse completion. — The sum of $^11.71 was expended out of
an appropriation of $1,600 to complete the line into the village.
All the high poles were erected and everything else put in readiness; there
remains now only the stringing of the wire across the rivers. Owing to the wire,
insulators and brackets reaching destination too late to catch the last freighters for
the North, it was found necessary to postpone the final work until the rivers open up.

BRITISH COLUMBU.
Mainland.
Business has been very satisfactory, although not showing quite as large an
increase as last year. There were 8.3,01.3 messages sent and 80,568 messages received,
with total revenue $30,270.53. This is gratifying, considering that during the year we
have closed up twelve telephone offices between Enderb'y and Vernon and Vernon and
Penticton in the Okanagan valley, as per agreement with the Okanagan Telephone
Company in April 1917.
Thirty-one miles of new lines were built during the year. There still remains
fourteen miles of poles to be set on the Arrow lakes, the poles having been purchased
and delivered during the year 1917-18. On account of the appropriation not being
available until October, the whole of this work could not be carried out, as the winter
weather in that section sets in early and the work had to close down in December.
There is fourteen miles of wire yet to be strung in on the Waneta-Pend D'OreiHe
line, the wire not being available last fall. This work will be completed just as soon
as the wire arrives, and the balance of the appropriation is available.
Thirty-three miles of line was repolod, fifty-two miles of pole line reset.
K-\MLOOPS TO K.\MLOOPS SECTION — 464 MILES.
(Via Xicola — Penticton and Veriiun.)
The line from Kamloops to ilerritt, 61 miles, is in good shape and has caused very
little trouble during the year, as it was all reset in 1916-17, and well giiycil. At Mer-
ritt and Xicola exchange, repairs and improvements were made to meet the services at
these points. The section from Merritt to Princeton seventy-six miles was to have
been rebuilt right through, but on account of the lateness of the season before the
appropriations were available it was only repoled from Princeton to Otter Valley
ninetei-n miles. The balance of this section will be required to be rebuilt this year as
the pole line is in very bad shape. The old polos having been reset twice already and
only were twenty five foot in the first place, are now too short to use again. At Prince-
ton on the local exchange several improvements and extensions were made to meet the
demand for local service. At Copper Mountain, fourteen miles south of Princeton, a
local exchange was established during the .vear with seventeen subscribers and one
pair extra wires strung between Copper Jit. and Princeton for local use. Business has
been very satisfactory at both Princeton and Copper Mountain.
The section between Princeton and Penticton is in 8pli'n<lid shape, having been
rrbnilt in 1916-17.
.\t Kerenifos on extension was l)uilt during the year to, Similkameen, ten miles,
niid local improvements and extension on the Keremeos local exchanoic.
The section from Vernon to Kelowna has been thoroughly overhauled, during the
year, all piles that were fit were reset and new pol»~4 supplied where necessary. The
spur, three miles to Okanagan Landing and the spur two miles to Okanagan Centre.
;iiid till- brunch line three miles to Okana-.:an Mis-ion were taken down and the poles

used in the rebuilding of the main line. Tlie commis.sion offices at these three points
were closed as the ()kana,i?an Telephone Company are now able to give them all the
service required and connection is now made at Vernon to these points from the
(iovernment system.
KAMLOOPS — MOUNT OLIE SECTION".
(North Thompson— 86 miles.)
Business has been very good from the offices on this section. In the month of
September, a severe storm struck a portion of the line near Louis Creek and took down
three miles of pole line. Kepairs were promjjtly made and outside of this trouble only
the ordinary repairs were necessary. Next year the upper portion of this lino between
the Barriere and Chu Chiia will require overhauling and poles reset.
HEFFLY CREEK — UPPER LOUIS CREEK SECTION — .j7 MILES.
During the year, the line was extended to Sullivan Valley (a spur six miles^ and
also to Dominion Forestry Cabin. Several more offices were opened during the year.
The only trouble we had over this section was by windfalls, the line running through
timber lor a considerable distance.
KAMLOOPS TO S.WO.NA SECTION — 28 MILES.
As this section iTuns through open country most of the way very little trouble has
been experienced during the year, and the line has been working very satisfactorily.
Connection is made at Cornwalls with the Dominion Forestry Branch line to Green
Mountain.
KAMLOOPS — GOOSE LAKE SECTION — 14 MILES.
Important connection is made at Goose Lake office with the Dominion Forestry
Branch line to Fish Lake at which point we have opened an office. This line is in
very good shape as it was only built in 1916. The settlers south of Goose Lake are
very anxious to have the line extended to Long Lake District. An appropriation has
been asked for to have the work carried out this year if possible.
KAMLOOPS — ROSE HILL SECTION — 14 MILES.
All the poles on this line were reset this past year, the line well guyed, and put in
good shape.
KAMLOOPS— REVELSTOKE SECTION— 218 MILES (via Chase, Salmon Arm and Sicamous).
This section is one of the most difficult to keep up that we have on our system.
After it leaves Chase it follows a trail on the northside of Shuswap Lake to Celista,
then crosses the lake by submarine cable to Sorrento. After the line leaves Enderby
there is very little of this section that there is a waggon road to follow. There has
been quite a number of snow-slides to contend with between Taft and Eevelstoke, but
in face of these difficulties there has not been very many bad interruptions and. what
there were, were of short duration. To enable us to give a first class service between
Kamloops and Eevelstoke it will be necessary to extend the metallic circuit from
Malakwa to Sicamous to overcome the heavy telegraph induction we get on our single
grounded line from the C.F. Telegraph circuits. We were able last year to metallic
76 DEPARTMEST OF PVlillC WOUKS

it from Revelstoke to Malnkwa, which made a great improvement, and we hope we will
be able to extend it through to Sieaniovis this year. Last fall, the section along the
east side of Mara Lake was poled with thirty foot cedar poles and the wire was trans-
ferred from the trees, where it was placed when the line was built throuRli in 1!>1f>.
as. at that time, there was no road but it has since been built.
WIIITEMANS CRKKK SECTIO.N — 30 MILES.
This branch Hue which is situated on the west side of the Okauagaii Lake is con-
nected to the main system at Kelowna. This line has proven to be a great convenience
to the fruit growers and shippers on that side of the lake, as they have to depend
entirely on boat service for their mail.
PKNTICTON — .MIDWAY SECTION — 93 MII.ES — (via OsoyOOs).
This section of the line runs south from Penticton to Osoyoos at the boundai"y
line, where connection is made with the P.T. & T. lines throughout the State of
Washington. .\t .\Iidway we connect to the B.C. Telephone Co.'s lines through to the
Kootenay. There has been a marked improvement in business from the offices on this
line during the year.
.\IKRRHT — MAMKTTE I.AKK SECTION — 37 MILES.
This extension which includes Canford Spur was built througli from Merritt as
far as Steffens ranch in 1916-17. The construction was completed to Main(!tte Lake
P.O. this jiast year. Three more officfts were opened. This line serves a very important
district and brings the settlers in direct touch with MiM'ritt and other important points
on our system.
NELSON — THAU. SECTION — 61 MILES.
This line is a very important biaiich ^oiith of Nelson running through a timber
and mining district, as far as Trail and .scrvis a verv useful jmrpose linking up the
several intermediate offices with the H.C. 'i'clephono Co.. .system at tliese two points.
Very satisfactory business was receive<l during the .year. An extension from Waneta,
14 milos, east up the Pend D'Oreillc Valle.v was constructed last fall, but as the wire
has not yet arrived, no new offices have .vet been opened. As soon as completed there
will 111' five additional offices, therefore, a considerable increase in revenue expected.
PROCTER CRESTON — VAHK SECTION — O'l MILES.
During the .vear, this line was comi>leted right through to Valik where ci>nnw!tion
is made with the Kootena.v Telephone Co. linking up the T^elsnn and the Craiibrook
districts. Five new offices were opene<l. Tin- whole line right through from Procter to
Vahk is in good shape and n very fair revenue received, considering the sparsely
i.iltl...l di>trli» :ili.iiif thi' Kf.otriiiiv Lnlc.. between Proctor and Cre-fon.
TIIK AltKUU LAKES SECTION 85 MILKS.
The line extends along the Arrow l-nkes from Nakusp to Edgewood built in l!M:i
and from Castlcyar to Deer Park built in 1916-17. The line was also eomplete<l through
from Deer Park to Renata last .Tune and offices opened at these jioints.
GOrKR\ME\r TKI.y.ailAPH JJXKS 77
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19
Last fall, construction work was commenced on the inten-ening link between
Edgewood and Renata twenty-nine miles, but only fifteen miles of pole line was
completed, as the work could not be undertaken until late in October, the appropriation
not being available. The balance of the line will be completed this year and will
link up two important sections of our system and will give Nakusp and all intermediate
offices connection direct through to Nelson and district. The telephone is a very
important utility in a district such as the Arrow Lake, where they have to depend on
steam boat service, and where the lakes often freeze up for several weeks during the
winter months, but for the telephone service the people would be isolated entirely.
UOLDE.V-WINTIERMERE.
New telephone and telegraph rates were established last June throughout the
districts which have been adopted by the Department. The telephone rates are based
on air line mileage and a minimum of a three minute conversation with a minimum
of 20 cents call, and 5 cents each extra minute for a distance up to twenty-four miles;
for twenty-five miles 25 cents, and for every seven miles over twenty-five miles add
6 cents up to fifty miles ; over fifty miles add 5 cents for every ten miles. This makes
a very fair rate and is the same rate as adopted by the Okanagan Telephone Co., so
that there is not a confliction of rates between the two companies between which there
is considerable tran.sfer of business.

The revenue shows an increase of 30 per cent over the previous year. No additional

COLLECTION OF REVENUE.
By E. T. SMITH. COLLECTOR OF PUBLIC WORKS REVENUE.
For the fiscal year ended March 31, 11)18, the hirge deficit in public works revenues
dealt with by this office calls for an explanation. The revenue accrued from slides and
booms was $40,122.87 less than for the previous year. In the year 191()-17, the revenue
was $80,150.45 from the St. Jfauriee works. On the 18th February. IStlT. these works
were leased to the St. Maurice River Boom and Driviiij; Association of Three Rivers
for $1 per annum. They were to operate and maintain the works, collect the tolls
established by Order in Council, and pay over to the Government any surplus of
revenue over the expenditures mentioned. At the close of their financial year, their
accounts showed that there was due the Government $30,910.33 for the .year 1017-18,
leaving, apparently, $49,240.12 of a deficit, but it must be borne in mind that the
$30,910.33 was not revenue after expense of maintenance, etc., had been paid, while in
former years we only showed gross collections, and no deduction for cost of ojicration.
The company, however, contests our claim for this $.'!0,9K).33 on the ground that they
have constructed certain works for which they should be allowed $20,073.25. It is a
condition of the lease that any extensions or improvements made by the company were
first to receive the approval of the Honourable the Minister of Public Works, and the
cause of the dispute lies in this condition because the works for which they claim to
• be allowed credit to the above amount of $20,073.25. were constructed by the company,
although notified that the cost of the same should not be deducted from the tolls they
were to collect. It may be only proper to state here that in 191(!-17 we had a surplus
of $28,189.26 and in the previous year also a surplus of $19,812.10. and the larger sur-
plus of 1917-18 was principally due to the small amount required for rejinirs owing to
the good condition of the works.
On the whole, excepting in the St. Maurice district, where the bulk of the wood ia
used for i)ulp and paper, it is not surprising that revenue from slidi^s and booms should
be smaller than it really has been for the last two .vears when we consider how diffi-
cult it was to obtain man labour for jmiduction in the woods and driving the streams.
Private boom companiejj have been obliged to increase their rates very greatly in order
to make ends meet. Wo are, unfortunately, not in the same position as our rates of
tolls are fixed, and as it has not been the practice to display in this report the actual
cost of operation as well as of reveinie where works hav(> in )>revious years yielded
large profits, these would not be taken into account when considering the losses eon-
BCiueiit upon war conditions which have ]>revailed during the i)!ist four years. Many
large concerns have gone entirely out of business fur the time iieiiig beeaus<" they could
not get satisfactory labour even at the high rates of wages and the high msl of sid)-
fistenee which have prevailed during that period.
In the matter of rents and soles accrued during the year, there was a deficit of
$fi4.h58.92. but the collections showed an increase of $] I.47fi.07. This iiieriiine was duo
to considerable large sutiis rei-cived in final settlement for properties expropriated
in f)ttawa. The decrease in the amount nceruerl is |prineipally due to the proiiertiea
which formerly .yielded considerable revenue having be<'n taken over for Goverinnent
useH, and jiartially to the fact that in the previous year there was (piite a larg(! sum
which eamo to account in the final settlement for many of these exjpropriated properties.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 19
The following is a brief summary of the revenue dealt with by this office: —
During the year 1917-lS, the revenue accrued from public works shows a decrease
of $103,416.01, being $188,900.10, while in the preceding year it was $292,310.11. The
collections also show a decrease of $07,912.39, being $188,877.18, while in 1916-17 they
amounted to $256,789.57.
The revenue accrued from slides and booms was $57,073.14. or $40,122.87 less than
for the year ended March 31, 1917. The collections were $26,187.92, or $70,954.24 less
than for the previous year. The outstanding uncollected revenue from slides and
booms is $30,885.22 greater than in 1910-17.
The graving docks yielded $56,484.10, or $1,565.78 more than in 1916-17.
Sales and rents collected amounted to $100,205.10, being $11,476.07 more than in
the preceding year.
I now submit the particulars in detail, relative to the several services under their
respective heads.
SLIDES AND BOOMS.
OTTAW.^ DISTRICT.
The tolls charged up amounted to $25,877.65, or $9,826.68 more than in 1910-17.
The number of sawlogs that passed through the works was 3,575,739, or 1,059,364
pieces more than the previous year. Of square timber there was none.
All the revenue accrued during the year was collected. Of the dues accrued since
July 1. 1889, when this department took over the collection, there remains uncollected
$9,101.61. Of the dues accrued before July, 1889, there still remains $56,805.65, all of
which should be written off.
The accounts for the Ottawa district stand thus: —

passed through the Ottawa works during the year ended March 31, 1918.
No. 2. — Statement of dues accrued from each of the slides and works of the
Ottawa district during the year ended March 31. 1018.
Apart from the two accounts amounting to $1,044.68, all the revenue from the
Ottawa slides and booms, since T took charge in 1889, has been collected, excepting
such as should have been written off long ago, or a few items in dispute which I
expect will have to be forgiven.
80 llKI'Mn\IKST OF I'ilU.IV WoRKs
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
The number of sawlogs which passed through the works during the past year was
1,059,364 more than during the previous season, and there were 8,862-32 cords of pulp-
wood less than in 1916-17.
ST. MAURICE DISTRICT.
The revenue accrued from this district was $:50,910.:^i, being $49,240.12 less than in
1916-17. The apparent discrepancy between the decrease in revenue and the large
quantity of logs passed through the works is explained at the beginning of this report.
With the exception of an item of $3,709.62 dues of 1909-10, disputed, all the dues
accrued in this district since I took it in 1892 have been collected until this year
when the above $:}0,910.33 is also disputed.
The amount outstanding prior to July 1. 1S92'. remains unchanged, viz.. $14,481.49,
and should be written off.
The number of pieces of all kinds of timber that passed through the works was
equivalent to 10,65S,.5.33 pulp and sawlogs, or 180„542 pieces less than the previous year.
XEWC.VSTLE DISTRICT.
The dues accrued from this district amounted to $'<.74, being $489.35 less than the
previous year, which has been collected at this date.
The totals outstanding on March 31. 1918, amounted to $3,565.6;?, of which
$3,521.19 should be written off in accordance with a judgment of the Exchequer Court.
$35.70 will also have to be forgiven, the debtor being hopelessly insolvent at the time
of his decease.
SAGUENAY DISTRICT.
The dues accrued during the year ended March 31, last, amounted to $276.42, all
paid but $20, being $220.08 less than in 1916-17.

The revenue from this service was $1.^,541.65, being $1,930.43 jess tlian the previous
year (see statement No. 3). Of tiie 109 days the dock was occupied during the year,
it was used for 27 days by II. M. and C. O. vessels.
The total number of vessels docked was 19, of .52,550 tons.
LEVIS GRAVING DOCK.
The revenue was $3,013.04 more than for the year 1916-17, being $29,228.15 («ee

days by 20 vessels of 41,665 tons.
During the winter of 1917-18, it was occupied by ss. John S. Thorn and Dredge
Fruldtnn.
KISOSIXJS ORAVIXU [JOCK.
On May 1. 1910, tlic Kingston Shipbuilding Co. took possession of this dock under
lease, the rental of which, $10,000 per annum, was payable at the end of each year.
One of the conditions of the lease was that thoy should eroct and keep in running order
a repair plant, but this business, they claim, did not come up to expectations. On the
contrary, it resultfd in serious losses, and rent was rwluced to $5,000 per nnnnm from
the 1st May, 1917.

RENTS.
During the year 1917-18 the revenue accrued from Government properties has
boon, from rents, sales and interest, $7.5.342.80, or $64,8.58.92 less than the previous year.
The account stands thus: —

The amount written off, uamel.y. $19,342.01, is composed of commission on collec-
tion, cost of maintenance, allowed in lieu of repairs, or cancelled on account of
imverty, as well as a number of items which have been on the books for years, some
i>f them (latina: bac'k to 18S0, the parties owing the same have disappeared through
death and otherwise and leaving no tangible assets.
The amount apparently uncollected, $18,9.54.89, seems to be large, but $10,600.62
of thi.< is compo.sed of tvvo old items, one for Dunnville Bridge, Out., and the other
the Dundas and Waterloo road, which business came to this department from the
Inland Revenue Department in 1909. These items will be carefully looked into and
possibly before the end of the current year some decision may be arrived at in regard
to them. As for the balance, $8,.1.54,27, much of this has been paid or settled since the
close of the last financial year.
In the administration of these properties there are serious obstacles to obtaining
as favourable results, rentals, etc., as compared with the same property in the hands of
private individuals. The latter can make terms, periods of leases, etc., as they see fit,
but we cannot give any assurance in most cases for more than a thirty-day-term, as we
do not know when some of these properties may be required for Government purposes.
Hence, we cannot expect to obtain as good rentals as parties who can give a lease for
one or more years, and 1 may say here that this condition makes it difficult for our
agents to retain the tenants we may have. The four agents who look after the
Wellington street property liave dtjne their work well, and I do not anticipate much loss
of rent, except perliaps from unavoidable misfortune to some of our tenants.

art gallery or body which hai' V''0P^'' facilities for exhibiting them, and of thus utilizing
to the fullest extent the possessions of the National Gallery for the furtherance of
artistic knowledge throughout the Dominion.
The previous grant of twenty-five thousand dollars ($2.5,000) had enabled a limited
number of Canadian works of art to be purchased, so that the loan exhibitions had
not suffered from lack of material. The application by the trustees for an appropria-
tion of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) for the current year, however, was not
granted, and the main Parliamentary Estimates included no more than eight thousand
dollars ($8,000), sufficient for the running expenses of the National Gallery, including
salaries and upkeep of possessions. Upon further application by the trustees an addi-
tional sum of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) was appropriated in the Supplementary
Estimates and the annual grant totalled eighteen thousand dollars ($18,000).
The following regular annual loans of works of art were sent out during the
year: St. John. N.B., twenty-seven pictures; Sherbrooke, Que., twenty-six pictures;
Fort William, Ont., twenty pictures; Winnipeg, ifan., twenty-five pictures; Rcgina,
Sask., twenty-one pictures; Jfoosejaw, Sask., twenty pictures.
Arrangements were also made for a regular annual loan to Halifax, but this had
to be cancelled owing to the Nova Scotin ^luseum of Fine Arts building being seriously
damaged in the explosion.
The following special exhibitions of works of art were arranged: —
Loan of thirty-three lithographs to Halifax, N.S., November. 1917. This loan
was on exhibition only four days owing to the building in which they wore exhibited
being destroyed by the explosion. Fortunately only slight damage was done to the
lithographs.
Loan of sixty-nine drawings to the Art Association of Montreal, December, 101 7,
to February. 1918.
Loan of '• Charity " by Frank Brangwyn, A.R.A.. P.R.B.A., to Madeleine de Ver-
cheres Chapter, I.O.D.F,., for their exhibition of paintings at the Chateau Laurier,
November 29 to December .3, 1917.
Loan of nine pictures to the Central Canada Exhibition at Ottawa, September 8
to 15. 1917.
Loan of seventy-five Steinlen lithographs to the .\rt 'Museiim of Toronto during
February and ^farch. 1918.
Loan of tliirty-onc pictures to the Western Canada Fairs A9."»ociation from .Tune
to August, 1917. The circuit inclu<le<l C'nlgary. Edmonton, Brandon, Begina, Saska-
toon, Prince Albert. This loan -afterwards went to Vancouver in August, 1917.
-Loan of " Dieppe, The Beach, Grey p:ffect," by .T. W. Morrice to the Los Angeles
Modern Art Society, Ix)s Angeles, California, March, 1918.
These exhibitions were all eminently successful, and the rapid increase of appli-
cations for them is sufficient evidence of the growing desire for artistic knowledge
througliout the country.
The -Vntionnl fJallery Travelline Soliolarship of one thousand dollars ($1,000)
was jiulge<l for the fovirth successive year by the Council of the Royal Canadian
.\cad<my. and was awarded with the trustees' eoncurrnncp to Mr. Manly E. MacDonald,
Point Anne, Ont.

Minister of Railways and Canals.
Sir, — The conditions prevailing in the year 1916-17, which necessitated
the curtailment of all unnecessary expenditvu'es in the way of departmental
printing, have continued during the past j'car, and, consequently, this annual

several matters dealt with by the department, though it has been found possible
to replace one or two of the more interesting items of information in a separate
publication entitled " Canals and Navigation routes."
The suspension of certain important canal and railway works, such as
the Welland Ship Canal and the Hudson Bay Railway, noted in the last annual
report, has continued during the j)ast year.

There remains ii dislance of 90 miles of line on which track has yet to be
laid. The piers and abutments of the Kettle Kapids bridfrc are completed
and the steel erected.
The work of constructing the railway terminus at Port Nelson is being
carried on bj^ the Department. The deep water development of this harbour
consists of an artificially constructed island, about two-thirds of a mile from
shore, on the outer edge of the tidal flats. It is connected with the main
land bj' a bi'idge of seventeen spans. This island is one-half of a mile in length,
and .enclosed on three sides by crib-work, which has been partly filled, and
partly back-filled, with gravel, rock, etc.
An ice-protection crib has also been built to protect the Ijridge.
Di'edging was continued throughout the season.
Steamship navigation began on the 19th of .Juik;; the first ice appeared
on the 11th of October, navigation closing on the 23rd.
Further details on these works will be found in Appendix III, the report of
the Chief Engineer of the Department.
In the season of navigation of 1915, occulting acet.ylene gas beacon lights
visible at a distance of 8 miles, were established by the Department of Marine
and Fisheries at a number of points in Hudson bay and Hudson straits.
Communication with Port Nelson is afforded by means of ^larconi wireless
stations established at that point and at The Pas.
The expenditure for'the fiscal year ended March 31, 1918, was .$1,879,699,
making the total expentliture up to that date, $20,233^887.37.
NATIONAL TRANSCONTINENTAL RAILWAY.
Under an agreement dated Julj'- 29, 1903, ratified bj^ the Dominion Act of
that year, chapter 71, and under a modifying agreement dated February 18,
1904, ratified by the Act of that year, chapter 24, the Grand Trunk Pacific
Railway Company, a company incorporated by the Act of 1903, chapter 122,
undertook certain obligations in respect of the construction and operation of a
line of railwa.y, whollj- upon Canadian territorj-, between the city of Moncton,
in the province of New Brunswick, and the navigable waters of the Pacific
ocean. The railway is composed of two divisions, namelj-, the ''Eastern Division,"
between Moncton and Quebec, thence westerly through the northern jiart of
the pro\-inces of Quebec and Ontario, and, in the province of Manitoba, to the
city of Winnii^eg, and the " Western Division," between Winnipeg and the Pacific
ocean. The "Eastei'n Division" is being constructed by the Government under
commissioners appointed by the (Jovernor in Council, and on completion is to
be leased to and maintained and operated by the company, who undertake to
construct at their own cost, and maintain and operate, the "Western Division."
The lease of the " Eastern Division" is to be for a period of fifty years, at a rental
of 3 per cent per annum upon the cost of its construction; the first seven j-ears
of the term to be free of rent; both divisions are to be equipped with modern
and ample rolling stock by the company, the first equipment to be of a value
of not less than $20 000,000.

By way of assistance to the company in the construction of the " West<?rn
Division," it is provided that the Government shall fjuarantoe payment of the
principal and interest of an issue of bonds to be made by tiic company for an
amount sufficient to produce a sum equal to 75 per cent of the cost of its con-
struction: but not to exceed S13. 000 per mile in respect of the " Prairie Section,"
from "Winnipeg to the eastern limit of the Rocky mountains. This limit has
been established as the cast bank of Wolf creek, a point 120 miles west from
Edmonton.
By the Act of 1905, chapter 98, three deeds of trust by way of mortgage,
set out in the said Act, were ratified and confirmed, namely, one dated June
10, 1905, between the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, the Royal
Trust Company, and His Majesty, to secure the issue of first mortgage bonds;
the second dated March 15, 1905, between the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
Company, the National Trust Company, and the Grand Trunk Railway Com-
pany, to secure the issue of .second mortgage bonds, and the third, also dated
March 15, 1905, between the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Company, the
National Trust Company, and the Grand Trunk Railway Company, to secure
the issue of first mortgage bonds in respect of the branch line designated as
the '■ Lake Superior Branch."
Payments from the proceeds of the bonds of the company for work done,
etc., on the " Western Division," have been made from time to time on certificates
given by the Govciiiincnt Chief Engineer of this division, showing approved
expenditures.
By the .\ct of 1909. ciiapter 19, authority was given for aiding in tiic com-
pletion of the construction of the "Prairie Section," bj- a loan to the company
of $10,0(X),000, to be secured, as collateral, subject to any prior lien, by a mort-
gage on the "Prairie Section" of their road; such loan to bear interest at the
rate of 4 per cent per annum, and to be repayable in ten years.
This loan, which is dealt with by the Department of Finance, was duly
made; the mf)rtgage deed being dated May 22, 1909.
By tlie Act of 1913, chapter 23, authority was given for a loan to the com-
pany not exceeding 815,000,000, at 4 per cent interest, the loan being repayable
by .July 1, 1923. Under this authority, .?! 5.000.000 has been advanced to the
company. Its debentures to an equal amount iiave been taken by the fiovern-
ment in pledge as security for this loan, as provided by tli<' .\( i.
By the ,\ct of 1913, chapter 24, authority was given for the purchase of 3
per cent bonds of the company to the extent of the balance of the autliorized
'.Rsue. Such balance, to the amount of $6,800,000, h:vs been purcha.sed by the
Government.
By the Act of 1914, chapter 34, authority was given for tiie guarantee of
the principal and interest of an issue of 4 per cent bonds to be made by the
company for the purpose of aiding the provision of the balance of moneys
ri-quircd for the comi)letion of the " Motuitain Section " to provide for expen-

and satisfactory settlement of all claims by the company for further aid in
respect of the construction of the " Western Division."
In pursuance of this Act, a trust deed securing the issue of bonds to the
amount of £3,280,000, was executed on August 5, 1914.
The several government expenditures on the " Eastern Division," were to be
made from appropriations by Parliament for the purpose, and on the recom-
mendation of the Minister of Railways and Canals, to whom accounts of all
receipts, expenditures and liabilities are to be furnished monthly.
By various Acts and Orders in Council, the time for completion has been
extended, and by the Act of 1914 (the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Guarantee
Act), section 11, it was provided that " notwithstanding anything contained
in the said trust deed of tenth of June, 1905, or in any Act or Order in Council
heretofore passed, the date for completion of the " Western Division" shall be the
31st of December, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen." By section 2 of
this Act, the " Western Division " was defined as extending from the city of
Winnipeg to the Pacific ocean.
By the Act of 1912, chapter 39, the construction of the " Eastern Division,''
and its operation, until completsti and leased to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
Company, was placed under the charge and control of one commissioner (in
place of four) to be appointed by the Governor in Council, and to hold office
during pleasure. By an Order in Council, dated April 4, 1912, Mr. R. W.
Leonard, C.E., the Chairman of the Commission as then existing, was appointed
as such commissioner. Mr. Leonard having resigned, the Minister of Railways
and Canals was appointed commissioner by an Order in Council of July 3,
1914, as authorized by the Act of that year, chapter 43.
Western Division.
The Western Division extends from the western boundary of the Winnipeg
terminals, on the east bank of the river Assiniboine, in the city of Winnipeg,
to the city of Prince Rupert, on the Pacific coast, a distance of 1,748 miles,
including the 3| miles on the Shore line of the terminal grounds.
It is divided into two sections, namely, the " Prairie Section," extending
from Winnipeg, 915 miles to the east bank of Wolf creek — a point 120
miles west of Edmonton, the capital of the province of Alberta, and the
" Mountain Section," which extends from the east bank of Wolf creek to
Prince Rupert, a distance of 830 miles. The terminals extend, for a further
distance of 35 miles aroiuid the water front of the city of Prince Rupert.
The whole division between Winnipeg and Prince Rupert has been operated
since September 6, 1914.
Eastern Division — Monclon to Winnipeg.
Tracklaying between Moncton and Winnipeg was completed (with the
exception of the Quebec bridge) in November, 1913, the last spike being driven
on the 17th of that month.
During the year 1913-14 the road was operated to a limited extent by the
Intercolonial Railway, for the distance, 285.25 miles, between Moncton, N.B.,

and Escourt, Que., a point 54.85 miles west of Ednumdston, X.R. Uuring the
fiscal year 1914-15 the operation of the road was carried on by the Intercolonial
Railway between Moncton and C'haudi^re, a distance of 455- 15 miles.
On May 1, 1915. the National Transcontinental Kaihvay from the City of
Quebec to Winnipeg, a distance of 1,355-95 miles, was taken over for operation
as part of the Canadian Ciovonuiicnt Railways system, and was put in njioration
as such on June 1, 1915.
On July 1, 1915, the Lake Superior liranch between Lake .Superior Junction,
on the Transcontinental Railway and Fort William, Lake Superior, 191 -75 miles,
was taken over for operation by the Canadian Government Railways, havinsi
been leased by the government from the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (\)ni-
pany.
Authority for the leasing of this branch by the Government was given
bj' the Act of 1915, chapter 18, which provitled tiiat anj- contract for leasing
for more than five jears, or for the acquisition of tlio branch, was to be sulijcct
to ratification by Parliament.
Under authority of an t)rder in Council of June 2, 1915, a contract was
entered into, dated June 29, 1915, for leasing the branch for 999 years from
May 1, 1915, at a rental of $000,000 a year, payable half-yearly, the first
pajment to be made on Novendjer 1, 1915. The contract provided for an option
to the Government for the purchase of the branch for §13,333,333.33 at any
time after March 31. 1930, on notice of one year; the lease to be ratified before
June 1, 1920.
The whole raiiwaj- between Monclon and Winnipeg is operated by the
Canadian Government Railways, the distance being 2,003 03 miles, including
the Lake Superior brandi, 191-75 miles, and the two branches into (Quebec
city, namely: the Cadorna l)ranch, 5-88 miles, and the Champlain Market
branch, 0-48 miles. The Quebec Bridge, 001 mile, under construction, is not

Under the terms of an agreement with the company, dated October 19,
1903, ratified by the Act of 1903, chai)t(r 51, the Government had undertaken
to guarantee the princij)al and interest of the bonils or other securities of the

mortgage trust deed was executed, conveying to the Royal Trust (Company
(Montreal) as trustees, all the property and franchises of the company, and
providing for the issue of bonds accordingly.
It was provided in this agreement that the Government should have the
right at any time, on one month's notice, to take over the company's undertaking,
assets, property, and franchises on paying the shareholders the amoiuit of their
stock at par, not exceeding .1265,58.5.70, with simple interest at 5 per cent and
a premium of 10 per cent on the par value of the paid-up shares.
Of the said sui)sidy of .?1, 000,000 there had been paid to the company a
total of .$374,353.33 prior to the execution of the above agreement, and subse-
quent to its execution, payments were made from the proceeds of their bonds
on certificates of the Government Engineer covering work done and materials
delivered.
After the collapse of the bridge the right of the Government to take over
ti»e company's undertaking was exercised under the authoritj- of an Order in
Council of August 17, 1908.* The date of assumption was December 1, 1908.
The total of the amounts paid by the Government to the several shareholders
for their shares was $355,279.07, payment being made to the parties concerned
in November, 1908. The deed of assignment and transfer from the company,
to the Government was dated October 18, 1909.
Under authority of an Order in Council of August 17, 1908, a board of
three engineers was constituted for preparation of a new design and specifications,
and for the reconstruction of the bridge, with powers to call in expert engineers
as advisers on points of difference that might arise.
In June, 1910, the formal call for tenders was made by newspaper advertise-
ment. In response, 35 different propositions were submitted, which were duly
considered by the board, who, finally, after calling in advisory engineers, recom-
mended the acceptance of an alternate design sent in by the St. Lawrence
Bridge Company (with whom are associated the Dominion Bridge Company
and the Canadian Bridge Company). This design the board consideretl to
possess certain features of strength, simplification of erection, economical
distribution of material, and general appearance which, in their opinion, would
produce a bridge that " would compare most favourably with the highest type
of long-span bridges in existence." By an Order in Council of March 31, 191 1,
authority was given for entrance into contract with the conjoined companies
named, and such contract was executed under date April 4, 1911. The contract
price was 9 02 cents a pound, aggregating about S8, 650,000, a saving of al)out
.12,600,000 having been effected by the elimination of the highways for vehicular
traffic contemplated in the original design; the contract date for completion
was December 31, 1915.
Under date January 10, 1910, a contract for the substructure was entered
into with Messrs M. P. and J. T. Davis, whose tender was the lowest of three
obtained after newspaper advertisement calUng for tenders; and supplementary
agreements necessitated by changes in the caisson design and in the location
of the noith anchor pier, were made with them on Mav 23. 1910, and September
2, 1911.

The Board of Engineers for construction, as originally constituted, has
been modified bj- retirements and death, and is at present composed as follows:
Charles X. !Monsarrat, M. Can. Soc. C.E., chairman and chief engineer; Ralph
iNfodjeski, Am. Soc. C.E., and H. P. Borden, 'M. Can. Soc. C.E.
The report shows that during the year the whole structure was completed,
including the suspended span which was erected at a point about 3 miles down
the river. On the 11th of September, 1916, this span was floated up the river,
and the operation of lifting it into place began and proceeded successfully until
it had reached a height of about 20 feet above the water, when some portion
i)f the contractor's erection equipment failed, with the rcsidt that the entire
span tilted towards the west and di.'jappcared into the river. The St. Lawrence
Bridge Company assumed entire responsibility for the loss and took immediate
.steps to replace the span at their own expense. At the close of the year fabri-
cation had been going ahead rapidly.
An investigation was at once held by the board and officers of the company,
and the board made a report on the accident, which will be found in Appendix
V, page 74, annual report 1916-17.
,The expenditure during the fiscal year amounted to 8931,278.01 paid out
of capital. The total expenditure by the department on the reconstruction of
the bridge amounts to 814,175,801.85. Other expenditure during previous
years, such as 8534,655.14, paid under the head of "Income"; 8374,353.33
paid for subsidies during 1901, 1902, and 1903; and the sum of $6,975,266.20,
paid by the Finance Department, less the sum of 8100,000, received from the
Phoenix Bridge Company, bring the total expenditure to the sum of 821,960,-
136.52. The accountant, in his report, page 19, Appendix I, shows fuller
details of the above expenditure.
At the end of the fiscal year, the bridge is ncaring completion. The St.
I.,awrence Bridge Company have successfully put the main span into place, a
triumph of engineering, the length of this being 1,800 feet, or over onc-tliird
of a mile.
The total length of the bridge is 3,240 feet, or over three-fifths of a mile.
The first train crns.sed the bridge December 3, 1917, and since this date,
traffic on the bridge has been continuous.
See Appendix IV, Report of the Chairman of the Board of Engineers, for
further details of the work still to be done for completion.

canal again crosses the prt^sent one below lock Xo. 11, the water of both canals
at this point being at an (>levation of 382 feet above sea-level.
The proposefl canal enters lake Ontario at the mouth ui tiie Ten .Mile

The dimensions of the locks are to be 800 feet in length by 80 feet in width in
the clear and with 30 feet of water over the mitre sills at extreme low stages
in the lakes. The width of the canal at the bottom will be 200 feet and, for
the present, the canal reaches will be excavated to a dc{)th of 25 feet oidy, but
all structures will be sunk to the 3()-foot depth, so that the canal can be deepened
at any futiu'c date by dredging out the reaches.
A new western breakwater will be built at Port Colhorne to ensure quiet
water in the harboiw during storms.
The outer entrance piers in lake Ontario will be |)laced abotil \k miles f|-oin
shore, where the depth of water is 30 feet; a wide channel will be dredged out
from these piers and an embankment formed on cither side of it about 500
feet wide. The lock walls' will be 82 feet high above the top of the. gate sills.
The work is divided into nine s(>ctions, of which section Xo. 1, approximately
3 miles, at the lake Ontario end of the canal, was placed under contract on the
1st of August, 1913; section No. 2, approximately 41 miles, was placed under
roiiliact on the 31st of December, 1913; section No. 3, approximately 2 miles,
was placed under contract on the 41h of October, 1913; section No. 5 was placed

the Act of 1908, chapter 62, certain amendments were made to its constitution
and otherwise. By the Aft of 1909, chapter 31, the board was empowered to
determine the maximum price to he charged for electricity developed throufih
w:it( T-poweis leased from the Crown. An Act of 1910, chapter .50, amended
certain jjiovisions of the Railway Act regarding the powers of the hoard, and
the Act {>{ the same year, diapter 57, extended the jurisdiction of the board
to cover the fixinp; Ijy it of the tariffs of wireless telegraph and marine electric
telegraphs or cal)les. 'I'he Act of 1911, chapter 22, gave powers to the board
to rerpiire from railway ccjuipanies the establishment of a staff of fire-rangers,
modified the previous enactnients regarding the disposal of electricity developed
thi-ough Government-leased water-powers, and amongst other enactments,
made provision for action, through the board, to ensure the efficient operation
of subsidized railways. The office of the board is at Ottawa, though it is
authorized to hold session in any part of ('anada. Its decisions and orders
are final, subject to appeal to the Sui)reme Court upon questions of jurisdiction
or law, and also to action thereon by the Governor in Council, in his discretion.
It is rerpiired to make annually a report of its proceedings, which report is
laid before Parliament.
The report for the year ending IMarch .31, 1918, of which a summarj' is
given below, has been received.
During the fiscal year the board held fifty-nine public sittings, at which
391 applications were heard. These consisted of complaints of private indi-
viduals or of larger matters of general public interest affecting the community
as a whole. The total number of appUcations and complaints dealt with by
the board amounted to 3,611; 20 per cent of which were set down for formal
hearing, and 80 per cent which were disposed of without the necessity of
such a hearing.
In A])ril, 1917, the railway companies applied for authority to increase
their freight and passenger rates. There were ten sittings of the board on the
matter at the most important cities from Montreal to Vancouver, and judgment
on the (piestion was issued December 26, 1917. The Engineering Department
carried out a large number of inspections covering the railways of the whole
Dominion. These inspections covered the opening of railwaj-s for traffic, and
also inspections of all kinds, such as culverts, railway crossings, cattle guards,
bridges, subways, etc.. to ensure safety.
The Operating Department carried out the inspection of locomotive boilers,
safety appliances on cars and locomotives, investigations into accidents causing:
personal injury or loss of life, train and station service, etc. This department
reports 333 fatal accidents, not including 31 persons killed in automobile acci-
dents at lailway. crossings. On the railways, 22 passengers, 137 employees and
174 other persons were killed. Of tlie.-<e 174 last mentioned, 93 were trespassers;
of the 31 persons killed in automobile accidents, 26 were killed at unprotected
crossings: 397 orders providing protection at 444 crossings were given.
Tli(> Fire Inspection Department reports that the inspection has been
carried on in co-operation with various Dominion and Provincial fire protective
organizations. Seventy-eight <'mployees of such organizations were under
apjiointment as local officers of the board.

The total damages by fire amounted to >$105,Gti8. Of these fires 7(5-84
per cent were attributed to the railways; 7-84 per cent to other known causes,
and 15-32 per cent to unknown causes. Many of the fires attributable to
railways caused so little damage that only $25,819 of the total damages of
$105,668 is attributed to the railways.
Very complete details on the above matters will be found in the annual
report of the board, which will be laid before Parliament in due course.

QUEBEC BRIDGE.
The Quebec bridge, one of the greatest engineering feats in the world. wa.s sufficiently completed to
enable it to be used for traffic. The first train crossed this bridge at 12 o'clock noon, December ,3. 1917,
and thus the connection between the Government railway lines on the north and south sides of the St.
Lawrence river was establisheil. Since that date, traffic haj been continuous.
The total length of the bridge is 3,240 feet.
The length of the main span 1 , 800 **
Tile length of the suspendeti span 640 "
The length of the cantilever arms 1 , 160 "
The length of the anchor arms 1, 030 "
The ss. Leonard, which transferred the cars between the north and south sides, was taken out of
service, and was later advantageously sold to the British Government.
MOVEMENTS OF MILITI.^.
A large number of troops were handled via Canadian Government Railways, and for the year the
total number was 222,593.
SNOW AND ICE REMOV.\L.
The winter of 1917-18 was a ver>- severe one, and the cost of removing snow and ice. so that traffic
might lie carried on, was ver>- heavy, being $.342,204,91 more than the corresponding expense in any one
of the three preceding years.
FATAL ACCIDENTS.
The number of fatal accidents on the Canadian Government Railways amounted to 38, of which
ten were employees, three passengers, and twenty-five others, the railways being exonerated in every case.

At Halifax Ocean Terminals. — Windows and doors were damaged in sheds
23 and 24. The windows of Halifax Ocean Terminals offices were damaged.
The seven single and one double house on Atlantic street had windows, doors,
and chimneys damaged. The two large houses on Young avenue and the one
on Barrington street had windows and doors damaged.
Roadbed and Track.
Through Richmond j'ard and between Richmond and North street all tracks
were damaged and covered with debris, and train operation entirely suspended.
At Richmond in the vicinity of piers 6, 7, and 8 the greatest damage to roadbed
and tracks occurred. All the rails and fastenings on the decks of piers G and 8
were lost in the water, but may be recovered. Heavy steel cars were blown from
the tracks in the yard, taking rails with them in many cases and bending and
twisting them like hoops. The force of the explosion was like an earthquake in
its effect on the tracks in the yard. Many tracks were thrown out of line. The
great wave which followed washed up from the bottom of the Narrows all kinds
of debris, mud, and boulders which covered the tracks to a considerable depth.
The following is a statement of all track material lost and destroyed by the
explosion at Richmond : —
Rails and Faslcnings.
S. 000 lineal feet 80-lb. rail 9.5-2 tons.
2n0 pairs angle bars 80-lb 5-9 "
1,064 bolts and nuts 0-7 "
29 boxes of track spikes 2 • 9 "
104-7 "
Switch Material.
8 sets of 80-lb. switch points.
8 Burpee switch stands and fastenings.
12 Rigid No. 8 frogs.
12 sets guard rails.
On the Dartmouth side between Stairs and Black Rock siding the sea wall
was washed away in several places, and 200 feet of track at Black Rock was
undermined about two feet.
Restoration.
Immediately following the accident, rail communication was opened up by
diverting traffic at Fairview to the Ocean terminals. Work of clearing and
repairing tracks between Richmond and North street was started, and by
December 9 two tracks had been completed allowing operation into North Street
station. The main tracks at other places, where damaged, were also repaired at
once and communication restored. Railway telegraphic communication to
North street was restored by the night of December 8.
An organization known as Canadian Government Railways, Halifax
Restoration, was formed to carry out the work of reconstruction. This organ-
ization took in hand the work of repairing and rebuilding all damaged tracks,
buildings, and other property belonging to the railway in Halifax, Richmond,
Fairview, Dartmouth, and at the request of the Department of Naval Service,
looked after the reconstruction of the naval dockyard.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20
APPENDIX III
REPORT OF W. A. BOWDEN, CHIEF ENGINEER OF
THE DEPARTMENT.
• Ottawa. April 1, 1918.
CANALS.
Thf through water route between Moutreal, at the head of ocean navigation,
and Fort AVilliam and Port Arthur, on the west shore of Lake Superior, comprises
74 miles of canal, with fortj'-eight locks and 1,155 miles of river and lake waters,
or a total of 1,229 miles. The minimum depth of water on this route is 14 feet.
From Montreal to Duluth, on the southwest end of Lake Superior, the total
distance is 1,354 miles, and to Chicago 1,286 miles. Connection is made with
the Canadian Pacific Railway from points west and south at Fort William and
Port Arthur (6 miles apart). From Fort William, connection with the main
transcontinental line of the Canadian Government Railways is made by the
branch line originally constructed by the Grand Trunk Pacific Railwaj', but
now leased to and operated by the Canadian Government Railways.
On this through i-oute the approaches to the canals and the channels of the
intermediate river reaches are well defined, and are lighted with gas buoys
under the control of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, admitting of safe
navigation in the hands of competent pilots, both by day and night. The
Lachine, Soulanges, Cornwall, Welland, and Sault Ste. Marie canals are lighted
throughout by electricitj', and electrically operated. The Farran's Point canal
is lighted by acetylene gas.
Of the minor systems, the IMurray, Trent, Rideau, and Ottawa River canals
may be considered geographicallj^ as branches of .the through east-and-west
route. In operation, however, these canals serve a distinct traffic of more
local nature. Isolated from the systems just mentioned, the navigation of the
Richelieu River, from its junction with the St. Lawrence at Sore! to Lake Cham-
plain, is effected by means of the St. Ours lock and the Chambly canal; while
in the extreme east the St. Peter's canal pro\idcs communication between the
Bras d'Or lakes of Cape "Breton Island and the Atlantic Ocean.
With the exception of the Trent canal, where the construction of an extension
to the present sj'stem is still in progress, the work executed on the various canals
during the past season has been almost whollj' in the nature of improvements
and repairs to existing works.
LACHINE CANAL.
Traffic was carried on uninterruptedly during the entire season. Among
the more important items of work jierformed might i)e mentioned the over-
hauling of a number of spare lock gates at Wellington Basin, and the recon-
struction of two guide booms al)ove C6tc St. Paul and St. Gabriel locks. Certain
repairs which had to be made to the bascule l)iidge at Rockfield neces.sitated the
raising of the biidge in August, 1917, and keeping it out of commission until
the opening of mtvigation this sensnn.

SOULAXGES CANAL.
This canal was o])eratoil without intorniption tluriiij; tlic ciiiiit- season. A
small road bridge at St. Fereol, and anotlicr at St. Antoinc, were built in concrete
to replace existing bridges. An incandescent system of electric lighting for the
canal has replaced the former arc lighting system.
.ST. Ann's lock.
The repaii-s made to thi.s lock were all of a minor nature. The oUl lockman's
house, which had fallen into a bad state of repair, was taken down and rebuilt
in a more suitable location. No interruptions to traffic occurred
. ST. OURS LOCK.
Only such repairs as were necessary for the general maintenance of the lock
were performed. Xo delays to traffic were experienced.
< AIULLON AND GRENVILLE CANALS.
The canal gale lifter was rebuilt and two spare gates at lock Xo. 4 were
taken apart and reconstructed. Traffic was maintained without interruption.
CH.\MBLY CANAL.
General re]iaii-s were made to a section of roadw.ay on the west side of the
e^nal for a length of nearly one mile. Two pairs of lock gates were rebuilt.
BEAUHARN'OIS CANAL.
This canal has been under lease to the Canadian Light ami Power Comiiany
since 1907 and is, with the exception of a few minor works connected with it,
no longer under the control of the department. .\ small amount of general
repair work was done on the Hungry Ha\- dyke, .and tiie ditches on the reserve
land have been kept clear of obstructions.
CORNWALL CANAL.
During the entire season, this canal was operated witliout accident or
interruption to traffic.
.\mong the more important rejiairs and improvements carricil out during
the year the following may !)(■ mentioned: the underpinning wilii concrete of
aboiit 7.5 feet of the southeast retaining wall below lock Xo. I!S, an extension
built by the town of Cornwall to their puniphouse west of lock Xo. IS, (he
construction of about 2,()(H) feet f)f stone underdraining in the new service
ground near old lock Xo. 17. the rebuilding of WO feet of stone protection wall
below lock No. 20, the making of temporary repairs, wiiich are now being uuide
permanent lf> take care of a cave-in which occurred on the south canal bank a
short distance above the upper flam, and which extended for a distance of 50
feet. In aildilion to the foregoing the usual repairs and improvements of a
minor nature, such as rei)uilding of gates, the construction of mooring posts,
the resetting of coping stones, etc., were carried out.

RAPIDK PLAT CANAL.
About 1,100 feet of stone protection wall along the south hank was rebuilt,'
and on the north bank 800 feet. At lock No. 23, a brick chimney was erected
on the lock house, anil electric lights installed in place of the former coal oil
lights.
GALOPS CANAL.
On the south side, west of Iroquois, 350 feet of stone protection wall was
rebuilt. Near the Iroquois power-house, 100 feet of dry masonry on the south
side of the government ditch was taken down and rebuilt. General repairs
were also made to the concrete walls of the government ditch. At Cardinal,
860 feet of tile drain was laid along the government road west of the swing
bridge. The usual minor repairs also received attention.
MTRRAY CANAL.
About 7,600 feet of stone protection wall was repaired and partially rebuilt.
The highway along the north side of the canal was thoroughly repaired, about
300 yards of gravel being placed on it. General repairs to bridges, culverts,
ditches, etc... were attented to as usual.
RIDEAU CANAL.
General repairs of a similar character to those of previous years were carried
out during the past season. Traffic was maintained without interruption.
The following more extensive repairs and improvements may be noted: At
Pretoria Avenue, Ottawa, a new steel lift bridge was constructed over the canal
to replace the former bridge near the same site. At Black Rapids, a considerable
portion of the lock was taken down and rebuilt in cut-stone masonry. A lay-by
pier, 140 feet long, was built at Burritt's Rapids. At Newboro lock, the breast-
work above the lock, formerly of cribwork, was rebuilt in concrete. A new
storehouse was built at Jones' Falls. Heavj- repairs were made to the masonry
of the upper lock at Brewer's Lower Mills.
TRENT CANAL.
The route of the Trent canal, as now in operation and under construction,
lies between Trenton on the Bay of Quinte, where direct connection is made
with Lake Ontario, and Honey Harbour on' Georgian Bay, from which port the
waters of the upper great lakes are at once accessible. The portion of the canal
now under construction lies between Lake Couchiching and Georgian Bay.
Cannl in Operation.
That portion of the canal which lies between Trenton and Rice Lake is now
practically completed, and it is expected that it will formally be openefl for
general traffic early in the coming season; the extent of the canal now in operation,
or ready for operation, may therefore b(^ stated as about 200 miles, or between
Trenton and Washago. In addition to this, other channels maintained would
approximate a total of 90 miles.
On those portions of the canal which have been under regular operation,
various improvements and repairs were made, among which the following may
be mentioned as the more important: Dredging was carried on at Robinson's
Island bar, at Yankee Bonnets and near liobcaygeon. The Kanesis dam was
rebuilt in timber, and the decks of the Hawk River and Drag Lake dams were
renewed. At Peterboro an oil shed of concrete block construction was erected.
There were no serious delavs to traffic during the entire season.

Canal Under Construction.
Ontario-Rice Lake Division. — Under this division is included the portion of
the canal which lies between Trenton and the easterly end of Rice Lake, a total
distance of b6h miles. As already noted, this section of the canal is now practi-
cally completed, and will be opcneti for traffic early next season. A detailed
description of the various works comprised in its construction and other matters
of general interest will be found in last year's report, and also in the reports of
several preceding years. The entire work when fully completed will have cost
slightly over five million dollars.
Severn Diinsion. — Under this division is included the portion of the canal
between lake Couchiching and Port Severn, on Georgian Bay, a total distance
of 43 miles. In this distance there will be included 4 miles of canal. 5i miles
of subaqueous channel, and 33J miles of deep-river and lake navigation. The
rise of about 139 feet between the level of Lake Hmon and that of Lake Couchi-
ching will be overcome by five locks. For the regulation of the river levels,
fifteen dams will be required. The route of the canal will be crossed by eight
steel bridges, five for highway and three for railway traffic. Five of these bridges
will be fixed spans, and the remainder swing spans. For construction purposes
this division has been subdi\-ided into four sections or contracts known as sections
1, 2, and 3, and the Port Severn section. Section 1 is not yet under contract,
and it is not likely that tenders on it will i)e called for until after the close of
the war. The work to be undertaken will include the construction of three
locks and two regulating dams, and will extend from deep water in Georgian
Bay, near Island Xo. 181, 17 miles easterly, to a point a little above the Big
Chute near the mouth of the Severn River. Section 2, now under contract,
extends from the Big Chute to a poijit above ^IcDonald's Rapids, a distance of
Hi miles. The work included in the contract comprises principally the con-
struction of a dam at Pretty Channel, a dam, lock, and power-house at Swift
Rapids, and the reconstruction of the Canadian Northern Railway bridge at
Ragge<l Rapids. The dam at Pretty Channel was completed towards the close
of 1915. The dam at Swift Rapids was completed near the close of navigation
last season. Since the coniijletion of this dam, the elevation of the water in
the river between Swift Rapids and Ragged Rapids has been raised 47^ feet.
The power-hou.se at this point has been completed and all machinery installed,
and it is expected that the plant will be in n]K>ration within a few days. Work
on the lock has been proceeding satisfactorily. The excavation for the lock pit
is about completed. The concrete work of the lock and the entrance piere is
now about two-thirds completed. The upper entrance piers, breast wall, and
gate recess wails have been finisiied, and work on the side walls is well advanced.
The swing span of tJie bridge at Washago for the crossing of the Canadian
Northern Railway was complrted during the year. Tlio girder aiipntach at the
west end has not yet been erected, and the completion of tin- railway diversion
on either side of the brirlge has been delayinl for want of rails. No further
work was done on the substructure of the Hagged Rapids l)ridge. Section 3,
which is about 1.51 miles in length, extends from the easterly end of section 2
to deep water in Lake Couchiching. The contract for the work to ho undertaken
includes the construction of a lock just north of Lake Couchiching, two highway
swing bridges, one railway swing brirlge, and .several small dams Jiear Washago,
as w<'li as a large amount ftf rock and earth excavation. Owing to the conditions
resulting from the European War, a surrcmjer of the contract was effected on
1st December last. Of the total amoiuit of work to be performed under the
contract, a little more than half has now been completed. Of the work thus
far carried out, the following items arc among the mf)re important : The excava-
tion for the Couchiching lock is practically completed, and the concrete work
on the upper entrance r>i'"--- l.ii"i.:t •iml reii .^v; ir^iti- wi11< is wril •uIvMiH'etl.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF i^'GlNEER 65
SESSIONAL PAPER. No. 20
The dredging of the channel m Lake Couchichin^ is neailj- completed. The
canal cut across country, from the Muskoka Road bridge to the river, is well
advanced. The highway bridge at Muskoka Road is completed and now in use.
The construction of the pivot pier only at the Hamlet Highway crossing of the
canal has thus far been carried out. The swing bridge for the crossing of the
Canadian Northern Railway is complete, except for the erection of the fixed
spans at the west end.
WELLAND CANAL.
During the past year the canal was in operation for a period of eight months.
A total of 2,816 vessels passed through it, showing a considerable .increase in
traffic over both the years immediately preceding. Of the various repairs and
improvements carried out during the year, the following may be noted as among
the more important: The swing bridge over the canal at the upper end of the
locks at Port Colborne was improved by the addition of a 5-foot walk, brack-
etted at the side. Concrete foot-bridges were erected at lock No. (J on the old
canal over the by-pass at Goose Island. Extensive repairs were made to the
under-water structures of the old canal as far down as lock No. 3 reach. On
the canal feeder the freshet of this spring did great damage at Dunnville and
Port Maitland. At Dunnville the long bridge over the dam was practically
demolished by a washout and ice-shove. At Port Maitland damage was done
to the east pier just north of the elbow, through undermining. It has not as
yet been possible to effect extensive repairs in either case.
PORT COLBORNE ELEVATOR.
The business handled by the elevator during the past year was slightly less
than for the 1916 season, the net earnings showing a decrease of $11,392.57.
This may very largely be accounted for by the fact that oat-bagging was dis-
continued at the beginning of September. The contract with M. J. Hogan
for repairs to the mooring dock west of the elevator was satisfactorily carried
out early in the navigation season.
WELLAND SHIP CANAL.
On account of war conditions, all construction work on the Ship Canal has
been suspended during the past fiscal j'ear. All construction contracts have
.been cancelled. Some little maintenance work has been neces^rj^ the follow-
ing being amongst the more important items in it: A row of sheet piUng had
to be driven on the north side of the core of earth between the lake and lock
No. 1 to protect it from further washing away by storms. A slide occurred
at Queenstown Road crossing which carried out the east abutment of the bridge
and damaged the roadway. It was necessary to divert a portion of the high-
way and to provide undcrdrainage by a temporary wooden culvert. Another
slide occurred at lock No. 3, which caused considerable trouble for a time.
Satisfactory steps, however, were taken to check it. Complete details in
regard to the general scheme of the Welland ship canal, and of the various works
thus far carried out on it, will be found in the reports of the previous years.
ST. Peter's canal.
The improvement works begun in 1912, which consisted in the construction
of a new lock and entrance at the Atlantic Ocean end of the canal, were completed
in November, 1917. The total cost of the work was .$561,880. The new lock
is 100 feet longer than the old, and the work generally, as completed, is an
immense improvement on the old canal. The work carried out during the past
season, which led up to the final completion of the canal, consisted principallj'
66 iii:i'\in\ir\r (IF r;\nw\\s wn < ivi/.s
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
ill the dredginn; of tlie Atlantic entrance, the eonstruetion of over tlirce hundred
feet of concrete wall on the concrete cribs at the west side of the entrance, and
a general trimming up of the entire work.
A few words of a general nature in regard to this canal and its history
may not be out of place in the present report. The St. Peter's canal, which i.?
about half a mile in length, connects the Atlantic with the Bras d'Or lakes of
Cape Breton, X.8. It has one tidal lock 300 feet long and 48 feet wide and a
tlepth of 18 feet of water on the sills at extreme low water. The canal was
first opened for navigation in 1869, and has since been three times unwatered
to permit of extensive repairs and improvements. It is used largely in con-
nection with coal shipments from Sydney, ami in the transportation of farm
piiiiliiio from Prince Edward Island to the interior of Cape Breton.
.s.MLT STE. M.\RIE CANAL.
During the past season this canal was in operation for a period of 230 days.
No accidents occurred, nor was traffic at any time delayed. The volume of
traffic passing through the canal showed a slight decrease on that of last year.
The work of rebuilding the top of the lower south pier in concrete, which was
commenced three j-ears ago, was continued last season, and satisfactory progress
mailc. There remains a length of about 200 feet of pier yet to be rebuilt. No
other improvements of importance were carried out.
RAILWAYS.
CAR FKRKV TERMINALS XORTHUMBEHLAND STRAIT.
This undertaking, which was completed during the past fiscal year, has
comprised the construction of harbour works, landing piers, etc., at Cape Tor-
mentine, New Brunswick, and at Carleton Point, Prince Edward Island, and
the building of about 3 miles of Railway connecting the Cape Traverse branch
of the Prince Edward Islaml railway with the Carleton Point terminal. The
width of Northumberland Strait, between Cape Tormentine anil Carleton Point,
is 8 miles. A regular ferry service is now in operation.
IIIDSON BAY RAILWAY.
During the past year the grariing of the entire line from The Pas to Port
Nelson was completed. Trackla\ing was not continued. The main line track,
with necessary si<lings for the operation of light traffic, extends as before from
The I'as to the second (Tossing of the Nelson River at Kettle Rapids, ;i distance
of 334 miles. The total distance between The Pas and Port Nelson is 424 miles:
there remain, therefore, about OO miles of line over which track has yet to i)e
laid. A large amount of ballasting was done during the year, and many de-
pres.«ed gra<les and settlements taken out. The pilars and abutments of the
Kettle Rapids bridge were completed early in the sea.son, and the steel has
since been erected. The [tainting of the structure will be done next season.

constructed island situated near the out(T edge of the tidal fiats, :iboul two-
thirds of a mile from shore, connected with the maiidand by .a bridge of seventeen
spans, has progri-ssed satisfactorily. The islaml as built is now one-hidf mile

fered with on account of the war, anil as only one ship load of material and
supplies was delivered, the latter part of tlie season's work had to be curtailcfl.
A length of 2,984 feet of timber cribwork was sunk in place in connection
with the island work, of which 2,384 was completed to a height of 23 feet. The
cribwork has all been filled and partlj' back-filled with gravel, rock, and other
materials.
r- One ice-protection crib has been built about a mile al>ove the bridge between
the island and the shore, for the purpose of breaking up the ice shove in the
spring.
Dredging was continued throughout the season, both in the deep-water
channel and above Flamboro Head, where 38,000 yards of gravel and rock
were obtained for crib filling.
The last sheet of winter ice in the harbour moved out on the 13th June and,
though there was ice about for some time afterwards, navigation began on the
13th June with gasoline boats and on the 19th with steam tugs and other craft.
One dredge l)egan woi'k on the 1st of the same month.
■ The first ice appeared in the harbour on the 11th October, and the last
boat was taken out of the water on the 28rd of the same month.
Reduction of forces began in Septemljer, and after the first of the year
1918 only about twenty men were retained on the work. These were chiefly
engaged in test t)oring and survey work.

REPORT OF C. N. MONSARRAT, CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF
ENGINEER, BOARD OF ENGINEERS, QUEBEC
BRIDGE.
The status of tlie work in connection with the construction of the Quebec
bridge at the present date, is as follows: —
The work still to be performed at the bridge site is as follows: Completion
of the painting: completion of rivetting; completion of concrete sidewalks;
completion of h;uidrailing; removal of falsework pedestals, north and south
shores: giading and cleaning uj) around south anchor arm: removal of docks
and cribs, north .s'lioic; removal of remains of old north main pier; and placing
of riprap outside the new north main pier.
The contractor has now l.jO men employed on the painting, and it will
probably recpiire several months to complete this work. About 100 men are
employed on other work on the bridge, and it would appear that .some time' in
the early fall the Ijridge should be entirely completed and ready to be taken
out of the hands of the contractor.
In the office, the staff are engaged in checking up statements of scale
weights of all the members that have entered into the construction of the bridge,
preparatory to ])rcparing final estimate on the work. They are also engaged in
the collection and preparation of all data, plans, etc., for reference at a later
date, or for publishing in a final report, if re(iuired.

REPORT OF ALEX. FERGUSON, ENGINEER IN CHARGE OF
CAPITAL LIFTING RAILS FOR WAR PURPOSES.
On the 21st of May, 1917, instructions were given to proceed with the work
of lifting track from the roadbeds of the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian
Northern Railwaj's between Imrie and Resplendent, Alta., in order to provide
steel rails for the use of His Majesty's armies in France, as authorized by
order in council No. 1395, dated May 18, 1917.
An organization was immediately created, and the work of lifting track
and of transforming the two lines into one commenced.
The Grand Trunk Pacific track between Imrie and Leaman Junction,
13.6 miles; between Obed and Pocahontas, 42.25 miles; and between Geikic
and Resplendent, 34.8 miles was lifted and the rails and angle bars shipped to
Three Rivers for shipment to France.
The Canadian Northern track between Leaman Junction and Obed, 79.9
miles, and between Snaring Junction and Geikie, 22.05 miles, was lifted and
the rails relaid on the Grand Trunk Pacific roadbed between Leaman Junction
and Obed, and V;ctween Snaring Junction and Geikie, thus releasing the Grand
Trunk Pacific rails and fastenings for war purposes as required by the order in
council.
The track of the Grand Trunk Pacific between Pocahontas and Snaring
Junction was lifted and relaid partly with GO-pound steel and partly with 80-
pound Canadian Northern steel in order to release the Grand Trunk Pacific
steel for shipment to France, and at the same time preserve rail connection
with the coal mines at Pocahontas. This portion of the Grand Trunk Pacific
line is being operated as a spur and is, as yet, considered merely temporary.
A rearrangement of the main lines may be found neccs.sary in tlie interests of
economj-.
The first shipment of steel rails for Three Rivers left Edmonton on the
17th of June, 1917. and the last on the 26th of October, 1917. The total ship-
ments amounted to 23,408 gross tons of rails and 1,110 gross ton.s of anglebars.
During the months of October, November, and Decentber a considerable
amount of work was done on the construction .of highways between Otley and
Carrot Creek and between Peers and Fulstow in order to give the .settlers access
to the Grand Trunk Pacific line. Before the do.se of the fiscal year arrange-
ments were made for the completion of these roads and for the construction
of a roadwav from Ro.sevear on the Grand Tnuik Pacific to Horner.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20a
There was a large volume of wheat moved during the year 1918 from Port
Colborne to Montreal, which might properly be added to the foregoing total for
Fort William-Port Arthur to Montreal. Port Colborne was used as a port of
transfer. It might, in fact, be assumed that nearly all the wheat moved from the
head of the Great Lakes to " other Canadian ports " actually went to Montreal.
A helpful light is thrown on the foregoing table when the monthly totals
are reduced to a percentage basis, as follows : —

Freight Rates by Water.
Carriers by water obtained exceptionally high rates on wheat during the sea-
son of 1918, which may be accepted as indicating heavj' tolls for all commodities.
Rates of freight over the different routes were as follows : —

The rates from Duluth were substantially the same as Port Arthur-Fort
William.
In order that the bearing of the foregoing freight rates may be properly
understood in their relationship to gross earnings, allowance should be made for
the following charges paid by ship owners on all cargoes of wheat moved be-
tween Fort William and Montreal : —
Clearing house at Fort William 01 to 03 cent per bush.
Trimmers at Fort William 06 " "
Elevation at Montreal 30 " "
Shovelling at Montreal 20 " "
Total 59 cent per bushel.
To Port Colborne the average deductions would amount to '44 per bushel
to Buffalo '41, and to Georgian Bay ports '38.

9 GEORGE V SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20b A. 1919
Office of the Comptroller of Statistics,
Ottawa, February 8, 1919.
G. A. Bell, Esq., C.M.G.,
Deputy Minister of Railways and Canals.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith Railway Statistics for the
year ended June 30, 1918.
The reports of the various railwaj^s reveal increases in gross earnings, as
the result of a higher volume of traffic than in 1917, with material decreases in
net earnings arising out of swollen operating expenses. The facts in these regards
are disclosed in the tables forming the body of this report.
Abridged Report.
Because of war conditions last year, and the need for special economj^, it
was deemed expedient to very considerably reduce the matter making up
Railway Statistics. That policy has been continued with respect to the 1918
report.
Electric Railways.
Statistical information with regard to the electric railway interests of
Canada will be found in both these introductory pages and the tables constitut-
ing the body of the report.
Railway Mileage.
274-32 miles were added to the railway mileage of the Dominion in 1918,
bringing up the total to 38,878-52. The additional mileage was located chiefly
in the western provinces.
The factors of mileage as used in certain calculations which follow is not
constant. It varies for the purpose of reckoning capitalizalion per mile and
operating results per mile. In the latter instances, for example, regard must be
had for trackage rights and the average mileage in actual operation during the
year.
V DEPARTMEyT OF RArLWATS AXD CAXALS

The Dominion has not made any grants of lands in aid of railways since
Guarantees.
Guarantees of bonds have been substituted in large measure for other forms
of aid during recent years. It has been most difficult to get an accurate state-
ment of the facts in this regard, particularly as to the precise amount of out-
standing liability. The following table is based on official reports from the

NOVA SCOTIA.
The aid given by the province of Nova Scotia to the Halifa.x Miid South-
we.stern Railway Company was not in the nature of a guaiaiitcc of lioiids; but
the farts of the case cannot very well be given under .-iny oIIkt licud. They
arc a.s follows: —
In the first instance the province advanced to the coni]mny .S13, .')()() ])er
mile on 257-25 miles of its railway. The company gave a mortgage to the
province covering the railway system for the total amount so advaiu'ed, and
for interest on advances during construction, but could redeem the mortgage
by rep.'iying the said stmi of .$13,500 per mile, less the sum of .?;{,2()() jier mile.
The $.'i,200 per mile represents the sum which, under the provisions of a gcnenii
Act on the subject, the province grants as a sul)sidy to a comi)any constructing
a railway.
RAILWAY STATISTICS
XV
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20b
This arrangement existed until the new arrangement was made under
chapter 27 of the Acts of 1912, as amended by chapter 64 of the Acts of 1913.
The new arrangement provided for releasing the original mortgage, for crediting
the railway company with the .§3,200 per mile, and interest thereon, for repay-
ment to the company of the equivalent of £180,400 .sterling which the company
had paid as interest on the mortgage, and for adding that amount to the sums
due by the company for principal. The equivalent of £180,400 sterling was
paid to the Halifax and Southwestern Railway Company, but instead of being
paid in cash it was paid by delivering to the company £180,400 of provincial
debentures. The total amount the company owed the province under this
arrangement was settled at .$4,447,000, in which is included the equivalent of
£180,400 .sterling.
As security for that amount the company delivered to the province its
bonds guaranteed by the Canadian Northern Railway Company, aggregating
S4, 447, 000, these bonds being secured by a mortgage trust deed covering the
railway system of the Halifax and Southwestern Railway Company, and the
province still holds the bonds and collects the interest thereon as the same
falls due.
Under the primary arrangement the railway companj' did not deliver bonds
to the province, but merely executed the mortgage, wliich has been released
and superseded by the new arrangement.
The advance of $13, .500 jjer mile was not made by the province delivering
bonds to the company; it was made in cash, the province having borrowed the
money in London by the issue and sale of inscribed stock. The interest on the
guaranteed Jjonds that the province now holds offsets within about one-quarter
per cent the interest payable on the inscribed stock, this difference being
accounted for by the fact that the stock was issued below par.
After the guaranteed bonds of the Halifax and Southwestern Railway
Companv are paid, the amount of provincial aid it will have received will have
been .$3,200 per mile.

It .should be explained that the foregoing dividend.s are exaggerated by
the inclu.sion of interest on the debenture .stock of the Canadian Pacifie Railway.
In that ca-se, it is really interest on a debenture of such a jjeculiar elass that
it neither belongs to stocks nor funded debt.

It will be observed that the net tonnage for 1918 was 102,425,410. A con-
necting road is defined as being a road operating within the boundaries of
Canada. Traffic received from a United States road applies to all tonnage
brought into Canada by roads operating on both sides of the boundary, as well
as freight delivered at the boundary to a Canadian line.

Table 1, following steam railways, will afford information in detail with
respect to mileage.
There was not an actual reduction of first track mileage in 1918. There
was merely an accurate statement of second track mileage, following special
correspondence with units which had been making incorrect returns, the immed-
iate effect of which was to reduce first track mileage. The mileage of all tracks
remained practically unchanged.

The number of fare passengers carried in 1918 was 487,365,456. Compar-
ison cannot be made with preceding years owing to the omission of facts rehiting
to the Montreal Tramways and several other units.
The volume of freight hauled in 1918 was 2,497,530 tons as compiled with
2,335,539 tons in I9l7.

Province. Number.
Onttario 41
Quebec ' 4
Mamitoiba 2
Saskatchewan 4
Alberta 5

9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
FORMAL AND INFORMAL MATTERS.
The number of iuformal matters dealt with by the Board, as distiuguished from
matters heard at public sittings, constitutes a considerable percentage of the total
applications and complaints dealt with by it, that is to say, of a total of 3,611 appli-
.T.tions and complaints received and dealt with by the Board, 20 per cent were set
down for formal hearing, and SO per cent were disposed of without the necessity of
such formal hearing. Those informal complaints, dealt with and settled without the
necessity of a hearing, entail in- many instances a considerable amount of inquiry and
consideration on the part of the Board's officials, and cover a wide range of subjects,
as, for example, a complaint of a more or less trivial nature to a matter of general
public interest affecting the community as a whole, or involving the application of
some general principle regarding railway rates.
R.VTUVAY r.RADF CROSSING FrND.
In accordance with the provision of section 7, of S-9 Edward VTI. chapter 32,
entitled an Act to amend the Railway Act, provision was made that' the sum of $200,-
000 each year, for five consecutive years from the 1st day of April, 1909, was appro-
priated and set apart from the Consolidated Revenue Fund for the purpose of aiding
in the providing by actual construction work of protective safety, and conveniences for,
the public in respect of highway crossings of the railwa.v at rail level, in existence on
the said 1st day of April, the said sums to be placed to the credit of a special account
to be known as " The Railway Grade Crossing Fund," to be applied by the Board, sub-
ject to certain limitation set out in the amending Act, solely towards the cost (not
including that of maintenance and operation) of actual construction work for the pur-
pose specified.
In dealing with such crossing, the Board issued, between the 1st day of April, 1909,
and the 31st March, 1918, 397 orders, providing protection at 444 crossings as
follows : —
By electric feclls 241
By eatfS 108
By subways CO
By overhead brlderes 20
By cH version of highways 20
By cloelnK of .streets 3
By removal of view obstrucUona 3
By shelter 1
By towers 2
It will be seen by comparing the total number of crossings protected with the
Twelfth Annual Report of the Board that the increafio for the year ending March 31,
1918, in number of crossings protected, numbers 3G made up as follows: —
By electric bells 16
By (Fate.1 17
By subway 1
By diversion of highways 2
By removal of view obstruction 1
By shelter 1
By towers 2
Note. — Thirty-six crossings and thirty-nine protections consequent on account of
two bells being ordered at one crossing, and ejctra tower at two crossings.
In connection with the granting of aid to i>rotective works under this fund, atten-
tion is again dirc<;tod to the fact that tlif Board has found tliiit the limitation imposed
by the Act has prevented contributions being made in as large a degree as would seem
REPORT OF TBE C0MMI88I0NER8 9
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
to be proper in the public interest in connection with the larger schemes for elimina-
tion of grade crossings. Suoh works in the larper cities will run into amounts exceed-
ing $100,000, and occasionally as high as several million dollars, so that the limitation
of $5,000 (not to be applied to more than three crossings in any one municipality, or
more than once to any one crossing) fixed by the Act, would be a mere fraction of the
total amount involved.
GENERAL DECISIONS AND RULINGS OF THE BOARD.
Submitted herewith are some of the more important matters dealt with by the
Board at its public sittings for the year ending March 31, 1917. A synopsis of the

Re INCREASE IN FREIGHT AND PASSENGER RATES, CANADIAN RAILWAY COMPANIES.
In April, 1917, the railway companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Board,
because of the increased costs of labour, equipment, coal and materials, which had
added largely to the general expenses of operating railways, made application to the
Board for authority to increase their freight and passenger rates 15 per cent, except
on coal, on which a specific increase of 15 cents per ton was asked. The applications
are commonly referred to as the 15 Per Cent Case.
The applications as originally filed were unaccompanied by notices to representa-
tive public boilics. Under the direction of the Board, notices were given. The follow-
ing public hearings were held: —
At 'Victoria on June 5. - ^
At 'Vancouver on June 6.
At Toronto on June 12.
At Nelson on June 10.
At Calgary on June 18.
At Edmonton on June 19.
At Jlontreal and Saskatoon on June 20.
At Regina on June 21.
At Winnipeg on June 22.
At Fort 'William on June 25.
At some points the application was opposed without qualification: at other points
a qualified opposition was raised: while at others no objections were taken.

position of the companies and the enhanced cost of conducting transportation, and
permitting the increases desired, with certain modifications, as set out in the judgment,
the full text of which will be found under Appendix '' C."
As a result of protests which were made by live stock shippers' associations, lumber
shippers' associations, and grain shippers' associations, as well as the application of
the Government of the province of Manitoba, for leave to appeal from the judgment
herein, a sitting of the Board was held at Ottawa, on Thursday, the 10th of January,
1918, to consider these protests.
It was determined at the sitting to give leave to the Government of Manitoba to
appeal on the questions of law. on which that Government desired to appeal to the
Supreme Court of Canada. The other protests referred to were not disposed of.
The matter that the Board considered in connection with these protests was the
effective date which should be given to the Board's judgment.
Judgment on these protests issued January 1.5, 1918, the 1st day of February
being fixed as the date on which the various increases were to take effect. This judg-
ment is given " in extenso " under Appendix "A."

1906, having had under consideration the petitions from the Government of the
province of Manitoba, the Winnipeg Board of Trade (shipping section), the
Western Retail Lumbermen's Association of Winnipeg, and others, appealing '
from the Order of the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada, dated the
26th day of December, 1917, providing for a general advance in freight and

pleased to direct that the further hearing of the appeal be adjourned until
Friday the 1st day of March, 191s, at 11 o'clock a.m.; that those who are sup-
porting the appeal shall file their case in the Privy Council office, in printed

" If they see fit, however, to tile separate cases it is most advisable that they
should get into consultation with each other in order that there may not be
repetition. It is desirable both in the interest of those who are supporting the
appeal, and particularly of those who are to go over this case, that repetition
be avoided.
" His Excellency the Governor General in Council is further pleased to
order and doth hereby order that the operation of the rates which under the
order appealed from would otherwise come into force on the first day of
February, 1918, be postponed until the fifteenth day of March, 191S.

9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
In fixing a C.L. minimum, it is in the general interest to increase loading wherever
reasonably possible and thereby increase the efficiency of the rolling stock.
In matters of classification and tolls established trade conditions or obligations,
while not of necessity conclusive obstacles in the way of change, must be considered;
it is a question of judgment what is a fair mean between the physical carrying power
of the car and the public interest as affected thereby and the conditions under which
business is carried on.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
The Board has no jurisdiction, under sections 284 and 317 of the Railway Act, to
prevent the removal (at the instance of the municipalities within whose limits railway
stations are situate) of telephones installed at such stations.
The "facilities clause," section 284 of the Railway Act, refers to physical trans-
portation and physical accommodation on the railway.
Telephonic communication with a railway station to be acquainted with the move-
ment of the pasenger or freiprht trains is not a facility which railway companies are
required to furnish to the public under section 284.

TOILS — ICING. — ONTARIO FRUIT GROWERS' ASSOCIATION AND PACKING HOUSE COMPANIES VS.
CANADIAN FREIGHT ASSOCIATION.
Railway companies should not profit by shipments handled except as carriers. The
tolls for -in-transit icing- of refrigerator ears should be made up on the basis of the
average actual cost of the ice and the placing thereof upon the cars. Upon an analysis
of the diilerent cost factors the proposed increase in the icing tolls is not justified.
Ontario Fruit Growers' Association v. Canadian Pacific Railway Company (Can-
adian Freight Association) (Fruit Growers ease) 3 Can. Ry. Cas. 430, at pp. 431-2,
followed.
The tolls on salt in refrigerator cars, owing to the gradual development of its use
in connection with the packing industry, have been treated as an incident of its
refrigeration and it is claimed is properly included in the icing toll therefor. The
carriers have justified the toll for salt over and above a toll for icing in the tariffs of
tolls now in force.

JURISDICTION — OPERATION. — CITY OF TORONTO VS, CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY.
(Don Valley Shunting Case.)
Unless it can be established that a railwa.v company in carrying on its undertaking
authorized by Parliament upon its own property, in a manner which is calculated to
do as little harm to adjacent owners as possible, is not exercising as much care as it
might, to lessen the noise of operation, the Board has no jurisdiction to interfere. It
is not incumbent upon the Board to summon offending parties before the court of the
province for violation of its own order and a municipal by-law regulating the omission
of smoke from railway locomotives.

authorize it to build a branch line of railway under section 175, 3 Edward VII, chapter
58 (Railway Act, 1903).
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of the Assistant Chief Commissioner,
dated August 1, 1917, 21 Can. Ry. Cas.
TOLLS — SWrrCHINC. — PREMIER COAL COMPANY V. CANADIAN FREIGHT ASSOCIATION.
This was an application for an order directing the respondent to abolish the toll
charge of $2 per loaded car for switching more than 1,000 feet on the ground that it
was inequitable and bore no relation to the services rendered.
The application was heard at Calgary, July 10, 1917.
The Board disallowed a toll of $2 for switching and spotting movements on spurs
more than 1,000 feet in length of cars loaded with coal, without expressing any opinion
on the general question of fixing a limit for free switching service.
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of Mr. Commissioner Goodeve, con-
curred in by the Chief Commissioner, dated September 26, 1917.
o'bRIEN BROS. V. CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY.
The mere acquisition of lands on both sides of a railway right of way does not
per se give a right to a farm crossing. The original owner having lost his right to a
crossing by conveying the lands on one side to another person, a subsequent owner
purchasing tho lands on both sides from difFcrent vendors does not thereby acquire a
right to a farm crossing to connect them. The Board, however, has jurisdiction under
section 253 to order a crossing, which it will exercise in a proper case and on proper
lerms.

(Burlington Beach Case.)
When respondent steam lines have been paralleled by electric lines, which have
taken practically all the business, and ordering the respondent to give an increased
service, might secure a better ser\-ice from the electric line, such an order would not
be justified in the public interest, where this could only be done at an unjustifiable
cost and entail a continuing loss to the respondent.

the Board.
With reference to the appeals to the Governor in Council, one was that of the

branch of the company's railway between the city of Hamilton and Bnrlinarton Bench
and the town of Burlington, and the appeal is still pending-.
The other appeal was that of the province of Manitoba, the Western Eetail Lum-
bermen's Association, the United Farmers of Ontario, the Canadian Credit Men's Trust
Association, the Shippers' Section of the AVinnipeg Board of Trade, and the Canadian
Council of Agriculture, against the decision of the Board allowing a general increase
in freight and passenger rates as authorized by the Board's Order, dated December 20,
1917. and which appeal is still pending.
With refei'ence to the appeals to the Supreme Court of Canada referred to, the
first was that of the Grand Trunk Railway Company, on questions of law, from an
Order of the Board, dated July 2G, IHIT, reiiuiring the company u)X)n the application
of one Hubert Bourassa to reconstruct and provide at its own cost a crossing under its
tracks as set out in the Order.
The second appeal was that of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company from an
Order of the Board, dated August 3, 1917, made upon the application of the Depart-
ment of Public Works of the province of Ontario, under section 237 of the Railway
Act. for an Order directing the Canadian Pacific Railway Compan.v to construct and
maintain a public crossing over its right of way on the line between lots S and 9, con-
cession 5, in. the township of Kirkpatrick. in the district of Nipissiug, province of
Ontario. The appeal was made upon the following question of law, namely : " Whether
upon the facts found by the Board, the title of the railway company is subject to a
prior right reserved in the Crown to construct and maintain a public crossing over the
railway compan.v's right of way, as applied for by the Department of Public Works
for the province of Ontario, herein." This appeal is still pending.
The third appeal was that of the Governor of the province of Manitoba and the
.T. H. Ashdown Hardware Company, Limited, against an Order of the Board, dated
December 26, 1917, authorizing a general increase in freight and passenger rates as
set forth therein, the appellants maintaining that the effect of the Order and the hold-
ing of the Board is that the Board is not limited by the agreement made between His
Majesty the King, represented by the Executive Government of the i)rovince of Mani-
toba, and the Canadian Northern Railway Company by the Statutes of Manitoba. 1901,
chapter 39. or by the Statutes of Canada, 1901, diaptor .'')3, in its power to increase or
authorize the increase in the tolls and rates to an amount exceeding the tolls estab-
lished for the carriage of goods and pas.sengcrs upon the lines of the Canadian
Northern Railway Company referred to in the said agreements and statutes. This
appeal is still pending.

TRATFIC DEPARTMENT OF THE BOAED.
In the Traffic Department of the Board the number of tariffs received and filed
for the year ending March 31, 1918, were as follows: —
Freight tarifTs, including supplements 41.877
Passenger tariffs, IncludiriK Bupplements 14,781

This makes a total of 04,050 for the year, as compared with a previous total for
the year ending March 31, 1917, of 67,628. The total number of tariffs filed from
February 1, 1904, to March 31, 1918, was 784,656.
The details in regard to the tariffs will be found under Appendix " B '" to this
report.
ENGINEERING DEPARTilENT OF THE BOARD.
In the Engineering Department of the Board a large number of inspections were
made covering the whole Dominion. These inspections for the year ending March 31,
1918, number 217, and cover inspections for the opening of a railway for the carriage
of traffic, pursuant to the requirements of section 261 of the Railway Act, inspections
of culverts, highway crossings, cattle guards, road crossings, bridges, subways and
general inspections falling within the scope of the work of the Engineering Depart-
ment of the Board.
OPERATING DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD.-
Under the work of this department is included the inspection of locomotive boilers
and their appurtenances, the inspection of safety appliances on cars and locomotives,
the investigations into accidents causing personal injury or loss of life, the reporting
on the locations of- stations, matters of protection at highway crossings, and train and
station service performed by the railway companies.
Under Appendix " C "' will bo found a detailed report of the Chief Operating
Officer of the department.
ACCIDENTS AND ACCIDENT INVESTIGATIONS.
On reference to the report of the Board's Chief Operating Officer it will be seen
from the comparative statement of killed and injured that the number of accidents
among passengers carried and employees, as compared with the year 1916-17, shows
a marked decrease with regard to the number killed, but a marked increase with
regard to the numiber injured; and with regard to trespassers, a marked decrease in
the number killed and an increase in the number injured. The figures given show
that the number of passengers killed and injured for the year ending March 31, 1917,
was 296, and for the year ending :Mareh 31, 1918, 304, an increase of 68. The total
number of employees killed and injured for the year 1916-17 was 1,329 and for the year
1917-18, 1,357, an increase of 26. In this connection it will be noted, by reference to
the table given below, that the total number of passengers carried on railways shows
a decided increase, and the juiniber of ennployees with railways also a marked increase,
and these facts must be taken in connection with the increase in the total number of
killed and injured.
22 RAILWAY COMMISSIOyERS FOR CAXADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
Attention is again directed to the comparative statements of the Chief Operating
Officer setting forth in detail the situation as regards liighway crossing accidents
during the past tive years, and it will be observ-cd therefrom that there has been a total
of 621 accidents covering ISO persons killed, and 560 persons injured. There have
been 158 accidents at protected crossings covering 71 persons killed and 140 persons
injured, and at unprotected crossings there have been 4CSL accidents covering 209
killed and 426 injured.
In the year 1917-18 there were 48 automobile accidents at highway crossings, in
which 31 persons were killed and 77 injured. Thirty-nine of these accidents occurred
at unprotected crossings, when 26 persons were killed and 58 injured. While these
figures show a considerable increase over the automobile accidents for the year 1916-17,
which numbered 30 and in which 20 persons were killed and 54 injured, it is not
possible, in the absence of definite statistics as to comparative volume of automobile
traffic, to make an accurate comiparison with previous years. This matter, it may be
stated, is receiving ever}' consideration at the hands of the Board as to the best method
of protection at highway crossings where the same are used extensively by auto-
mobiles.
As has been pointed out in previous reports, there are many instances where the
public disregard is evidenced in respect to protective appliances, by persons crawling
under gates or going around them, or disregarding the alarm giren by automatic
signal bells.
The following is a table giving comparisons between the total number of passen-
gers carried by the railway companies, the number of passengers killed and injured,
and the same information as to employees, and as to trespassers, showing the number
of trespassers killed and the relative percentage thereof to the total number of persoiis
killed for the year. The figures giving the total number of passengers and employees
carried are for the year ending June 30, 1917, the last figures available, and are taken
from the railway statistics of the Dominion of Canada, published by the Department
of Railways and Canals: —
Passenicera —
Number of jMiBsenKere carried on rallwa>-s 5.1.749,6.S0
Number of passengers killed 22
Number of passengers Injured 342

Number of employee* killed 137
Number of employees Injured 1,220
Trespassers —

per cent of trespassers killed to total of 262.
It will be noted that of what may be termed preventable loss there were 93 killed
under the heading of trespassers, and 64 injured. This is a reduction of 36 in the
number killed and 15 in the number injured from the year 1910-17.

REPORT OF THE COiiyiSSIONERS 23
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
FIRE INSPECTION DEPARTMENT OF THE BOARD.
The railway fire inspection work has been carried on, as in former years, in
co-operation with the various Dominion and provincial fire-protective organizations.
During the past year 78 employees of such organizations were under appointment as
local officers of the Board, in connection with the administration of the various regu-
lations contained in General Order No. 107.
Special fire patrol letters were issued to the following railway companies in con-
nection with fire patrols in forest sections : Algoma Central and Hudson Bay ; Esqui-
malt and Nanaimo; Canadian Northern; Canadian Northern Pacific; Canadian
Pacific; Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia; Grand Trunk; Grand Trunk
Pacific; Great Northern; Kettle Valley; Temiscouata; Victoria and Sidney; Western
Canada Power. Supplementing the special patrol measures, instructions relative to
the reporting and extinguishing of fires have been issued by the various railway com-
panies to sectionmen and other regular employees, with excellent results.
In co-operation with the Operating Department of the Board, many inspections
were made of fire protective appliances on locomotives operating in forested territory.
The fire guard requirements issued in 1917 were closely similar to those prescribed
the previous year. Authority was granted the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific
and Canadian Northern railways to handle the fire guarding of wild lands on the more
northerly lines in the Prairie Provinces, on the basis of an eight-foot ploughed strip
instead of a sixteen-foot ploughed strip, provided special attention was given to the
burning of dry grass and weeds between the fire guard and the track. Under the fire
guard requirements, 10,994.26 miles of fire guards were constructed in the Prairie
Provinces by the Canadian Pacific, Canadian Northern, Edmonton, Dunvegan and
British Columbia. Grand Trunk Pacific, and Great Northern Railways.
In forest sections, 84.3 fires were reported as being directly attributable to railway
causes, out of a total of 1,097 fires originating within 300 feet of the track, along lines
subject to the Board's jurisdiction. This is an increase of 455 fires from the figures
for fires attributable to railways for 1916. The fires definitely attributable to railway
causes thus represent 76.84 per cent of the total, 7.84 per cent being ascribed to known
causes other than railways, and 15.32 per cent to unknown causes. Of the fires charge-
able to railway causes, 240 fires or 28.46 per cent, are incipient fires which did no dam-
age; 603 fires, or 71.54 per cent are larger fires which burned over 27,263 acres valued
at $25,819. The total damage from all fires is estimated at $105,668. Of this, the rail-
ways are charged with 24.43 per cent, known causes other than railway fires 12.88 per
cent, and unknown fires 62.69 per cent. Thus, on all lines subject to the jurisdiction
of the Board throughout Canada, the fires in forest sections definitely attributable to
railway agencies did damage amounting to only $25,819. By far the greatest portion of
the damage by fires originating within 300 feet of railway tracks in forest sections was
due to fires of unknown origin; of these, undoubtedly a portion were due to railway
causes.

PRINCIPAL JUDGMENTS OF THE BOARD.
LANDS — TAKING CAXADU>f PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY V. GRAND TRUNK lAClFlC RAILWAT
COMPANY.
There is a marked distinction between lands granted for right-of-way and other
railway purposes and those granted as subsidies; the latter are in the same position
as a cash bonus, and part of the remuneration for the building of the railway. The
respondent should be ordered to pay their proportion of the cost of the land required
for tlie construction of a transfer track.

The Board is not bound, nor may the provisions of the- Railway Act be defeated,
by an agreement between two railway companies respecting tolls.
A provision in an agreement made in 1901 between two railway companies,
whereby the former, in consideration of the latter undertaking to build a spur from
its line to a pulp mill, agreed to build a connection between the two lines and switch
loaded and empty cars for the latter company at JL-IO per loaded car, was abrogated
by the Board in 1917. the tolls being found unremuncrative, and the regular inter-
switching charge of 1 cent per 100 pounds applied under the General Interswitching
Order No. 4988.

REPORT OF TBE COMitlSaiONERS 27
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
Re LYNN ROAD AND SIDE ROADS CROSSING GRAND TRU>-K RAILWAY NEAR BROCKVILLE, ONT.
This matter was the subject of investigation by tiie Board in view of an accident
at the "Lynn Road crossing of the G.T.R. near the town of Brockville, Ont., resulting
in death. It appeared that the Lynn road was one of the most important highways
in the united counties leading into the town of Brockville. It further appeared from
the evidence that the Board on May 1, 1916, made an Order requiring the company to
protect the crossing by an electric bell, but that on July 15, 1916, application was
made on behalf of the township of Elizabethtown for a subway at the crossing, it being
submitted that the bell was not sufficient protection.
Held, Assistant Cbief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, April 5, 1917, concurred
in by Chief Commissioner Drayton and Commissioner Goodeve, that the diversion of
the three highways at the point in question, and the construction of a subway, should
be ordered, and the cost of the work divided among the township of Elizabethtown,
the corporation of counties of Leeds and Grenville, the railway company, and the
Railway Grade Crossing Fund; the work on the subway to be done by the G.T.R.
Company and the diversions of the highways to be done by the two municipal councils
as they should agree, and in the event of disagreement, the matter to be determi-aed
by the Board.
PROPOSED INCREASE IN RAIL AND LAKE RATES FROM POINTS IN WESTiSlN CANADA.
The Canadian Freight Association having filed with the Board Tariff Xo. 2 of
class rates, which is C.R.C. No. 1 and C.F.A. Tariff Xo. 3, of commodity rates which
is C.R.C. X^o. 2, issued respectively March 19 and 20, 1917, both effective April 23,
1917, protests against the tariff were received from a number of Boards of Trade of
western cities and the Prairie Provinces' branch of the Canadian Manufacturers'
Association, and the Board was asked to suspend the tariff until the railway companies
had justified the proposed increase.
Held Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, April 7, 1917, con-
curred in by Commissioners McLean and Goodeve, that C.F.A. Tariffs C.R.C. Xos. 1
and 2, should be suspended, and that if the railway companies are inconvenienced by
the suspension of the tariffs that it was entirely due to their own tardiness in the
filing thereof with the Board.
Subsequently the matter was further considered at a hearing of the Board, when
it was held that tolls reduced by a railway company to meet water competition may at
the discretion of rail carrier, be brought up more closely to the normal level when
water competition becomes less effective.

Re APPLICATION OF CANADUN NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY, UNDER SECTION 257 OP THE
RAILWAY ACT.
This was an application of the Canadian Northern Railway Company, under
section 257 of the Railway Act, for approval of the plans showing a new subway at
Water street, in the city of Winnipeg, province of Manitoba.
28 RAILWAY COilUISSIO\ERS FOR CAyADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
It appeared from the evidence that the Canadian Northern Railway Company,
in 1908, constnicted a subway to carry Water street, in the city of Winnipeg, under
its tracks leading from its bridge over the Red river to its Winnipeg terminals, and
that the plans for this subway were dul> approved by the Board under Order dated
June 7, 1905. The railway company -aow seeks approval of detail plans showing a
change in the subway by the construction of a new structure crossing the highway some
distance south of the present structure.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, April 11, 1917.
concurred in by Commissioner McLean, that it would not be safe to lower the grade at
the west end of the Provcncher Avenue bridge. Held further that the city of
Winnipeg should proceed with the construction of its new bridge with a .') per cent
approach from the west; but that the railway company's application for approval of
its detail plans should be refused and that the Board's Order No. 9293 should be
amended by making it clear that the approval of the Board was to the layout of the
station grounds and not to the freight track over Water street.
Held, further, by Commissioner ilcLcan, in his memoraiidum attached to the
judgment, that Order No. 9292 was made in misapprehension of the scope of what
was covered by the bylaw and the agreement implementing it.
Re APPLICATION" OF C.\N.\DIAX FREIGHT ASSOCIATIOX FOR APPROVAL OF PROPOSED CANA-
DI.W KHEIOHT CLASSIFICATION NO. 17.
The Board was asked by the parties representing both the railway companies and
the shipping interests to make some announcement as to what procedure it would
follow in connection with the application of the Canadian Freight Association for
approval of proposed Canadian Freight Classification No. 17.
Held, Assistant Cliief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, April 2\, 1917, con-
curred in by Chief Commissioner Drayton and Commissioner McLean, that there was
no present necessity for the Board to deal with the matter of further procedure but
that after certain hearings scheduled to take place in the western provinces, a further
discussion might be had.

APPLICATION OF JAMES LYNCH FOR DAMAGES OR COMPENSATION FOR INJDRY TO HIS PROPERTY
IN CONNECTION WITH THE RAISING OF THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY COMPANY'S TRACKS
ON PINNACLE STREET, BELLEVILLE^ ONT.
The following complaint was made to the Board by property owner in connection
with the raising of the Grand Trunk Kailway Company's tracks on Pin-naele street,
Belleville, Ont., when the Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern Ontario Kailway
Companies' tracks were built into Belleville, namely: —
" The Canadian Northern OTitario Railway Company constructed its line
of railway through the city of Belleville, Ont. In so doing, the company crossed
Front and Pinnacle streets and took a northerly part of a coal shed and yard
belonging to James Lynch. Mr. Lynch's property extends from Front street
easterly to Pin^iacle street. The roadway of the said railway is several feet
higher than the level of the said city streets. The Grand Trunk Railway
Company has a railway line running along the said Pinnacle street and
near to the easterly boundary of Mr. Lynch's property, which is part of
lot No. 13A, on the west side of said Pinnacle street. On account of the
construction across Pinnacle street of the Canadian Northern Ontario railway,
the Grand Trunk Railway has raised its railway opposite to Mr. Lynch's
property. Mr. Lynch claims that he is entitled to compensation for injury
to his property which results through the foregoing railway construction."
In so far as the Grand Trunk Railway Company was concerned, the position
taken by it was that any elevation of its tracks made on Pinnacle street was done
32 RAILWAY COMiflSSIOyERS FOR CAXADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
by the CaTiadian 2sorthern Ontario and Canadian Pacific Railway Companies when
their lines were carried across Pinnacle street. It was stated at the hearing that the
effect of the embankment of the Canadian Northern Ontario Railway Company
on Pinnacle street and the raising of the track of the Grand Trunk on Pinnacle
street was that water ruTis into the coal shed and collects there and freezes; that the
exit from the coal shed to Pinnacle street was alleged to have been altered so materially
that its use had become less valuable.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, May 7, 1917, concurred in by
Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott and Commissioner Goodeve, that the matters
involved in the present application were before the arbitrators, who dealt with the
matter of the taking by the Canadian Northern Ontario Railway Company of the
lands of the complainant Lynch in their award dated March 25, 1914, and were
considered by them, and that the Board, therefore, refused to take any action in the
matter.
Re APPLICATION OF THE GR.\ND TRCNK RAILWAY COMPANY TO MOVE ITS DAULINCTOX STATION.
It appeared that in or about the year 1905 the Grand Trunk Railway Company
in order to improve the grades on its railway constructed a new line through a portion
of the township of Darlington, some distance south of its existing line, and abandoned
the old line; that Darlington station was situated on the portion of the abandoned
line. The railway company informed the municipal council of the township of
Darlington and the residents in the locality of the old Darlington station that it would
establish a new Darlington station on the new portion of the railway, but that it
required assistance from the municipality and the residents towards the construction
of a suitable highway as an approach to the proposed station. This assistance was
supplied, the highway built and the new Darlington station established at mileage
294-25. The Darlington station thus established did not prove remunerative U\ the
company and the company applied to the Board for permission to move its station
some distance west to mileage 'J'M'i-'.it).
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his juitginent. May 11, 1017, con-
curred in by Commissioner Goodeve. that the Grand Trunk Railway Company be
granted leave to remove its station on condition that it first pay back all money sup-
plied by any individuals towards the construction of the highway approach to the
station; also that a further condition be imposed \ipon the company, that in the event
of its station being moved it establish a flas station at the bridge which carries the
first highway cast of the present station over the railway tracks.

Re WKSTKRX GR.\IX CROP, 191C.
Eepresentations were made to the Board, from time to time, as to the urgent
necessity of having the movement of the western grain crop for the year 1916, expe-
dited. It appeared that the movement of the crop had been unsatisfactorily delayed
owing to a variety of causes, the chief among which being ocean transportation, rail-
way congestion in Eastern Canada and the United States, and general shortage of
rolling stock throughout the country. It further appeared that the district which
suffered most was that known as the Goose Lake, and which hauls to the Saskatoon
elevator.
In connection with the movement of grain the Board recognized that under the
Act the duty of the respective railway companies lies in the first instance to the ship-
pers on their respective lines.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment. May 15, 1917, concurred in
by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott and Commissioners McLean and Goodeve,
that an Order should issue upon similar lines to the Order issued a year ago, see 21
Can. Rij. Cas. SS, under which the Grand Trunk Pacific must, so long as it can con-
tinue to do so and so long as the emergency exists, supply cars at the rate of 75 per
day, and the Canadian Pacific 50 per day, to the Canadian Northern at the transfer
track at Saskatoon, these ears to bo taken into the Goose Lake district by the Cana-
dian Northern, loaded" and returned to the Grand Trunk Pacific and Canadian Pacific

In re " follow lot " rule no. 3, canadun freight classification.
In this complaint there .was involved the denial by the railway eompatiies of the
benefit of the " follow lot " rule of the Canadian Freight Classification in connection
with the publication of the commodity rates authorized in the Eastern Rates Case,
and in connection, also, with the westbound trarisoontinental' commodity rates which
were made effective September 20, 1916. These tariffs carry the following new rule:
"Rule 3 of the Canadian Freight Classification No. 16 will not apply in connection
with rates named herein," or words to the same effect.
The classification rule referred to dealing with the "follow lot" rule reads, in
so far as it is material, as follows: —
" WhcTi more than the minimum carload weight of freight classifying
fifth-class or higher in carloads, and provided the classification minimum is not
loss than 20,000 pounds per car not exceeding 36 feet 6 inches in length, is
shipped on the same day by one consignor, on one bill of lading, to one consignee
at one destination, the established rate for a carload will apply on the entire
consignment although it may be less than two or more full carloads, provided
first car (or cars) is loaded to the classification minimum, in which eve^t the
balance shall be charged the carload rate, actual weight.
" This rule will not apply on trafilc any portion of which is loaded in
refrigerator, tank, or on flat or gondola cars."

had been supplied by the company, and the township of Camden applied to tiie Board
for an Order directing the company to build a suitable station at Enterprise, wliich
was the name decided upon for the station by the company, and to install a regular
agent.

$15,000 a year, the minimum of revenue fixed by the Board when ordering the installa-
tion of an agent at a station in the western provinces.
Held, further, that the company should erect a platform 100 feet long with one

This matter was first brought to the attention of the Board on an applicntiom
from the Thorold Board of Trade in 1909, for an Order directing the construction of
nn interchange track between the Grand Trunk and the Niagara, St. Catharines and
Toronto Railways, but the application in conection therewith was allowed to lapse.
A further application was made to the Board, under date of April 2S, 1913, when, after
hearing, the matter was referred to the Board's Chief Operating Officer for investiga-
tion and report. After the report of the said officer the matter was again taken up
at a sittings of the Board held in Toronto July 10, 1916, but no evidence was
submitted and the application was withdrawn subject to its renewal at a later date.
The matter again came before the Board for consideration at a hearing held in the
town of Thorold on April 12, 1917, when it appeared from the evidence that conditions
had entirely changed since the previous applications of the town, the tonnage which
liad been estimated in the former application at about 2,300 cars having increased to
about 16,000 cars per annum, representing an increase of about 700 per cent, of which,
it was estimated, that about 3,000 ears would be subject to interswitching.
Held, Commissioner A. S. Goodeve in his judgment, May 30, 1917, concurred in
by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, that on the figures submitted the town of
Thorold was entitled to an interchange track, and that the Grand Trunk and Niagara,
St. Catharines and Toronto Railway Companies should be asked to consult together
and submit to the Board a plan of transfer track, together with an estimate of cost
thereof. See 21f Can. By. Cos. 21.

cant's farm was crossed diagonally and divided into two large plots, and a cattle pass
was established under the right of way. It further appeared that for over sixty years^
and as late as 1916, this cattle pass had been repaired and rebuilt by the company,
when necessary, but that recently it had been closed by the company against the wishes
of the applicant. The company contended that the cattle pass in question never was
a servitude within the meaning of the law, but was intended as a culvert for the drain-
age of surface water, and that if the applicant and his vouchees used it as a cattle-pass,
they did so without a title, and that without a title no servitude could be established
in the province of Quebec. The company also contended that the Board has no juris-
diction, also that the farm was provided with a grade crossing, and if the Board should
order the cattle-pass the cost of rebuilding the undercrossing should bo borne by the
applicant; also that the applicant had offered to sell his right to the culvert for the
sum of $600 which tended to show that the cattle pass was not absolutely necessary for
the proper enjoyment of his farm.
Held, Deputy Chief Commissioner W. B. Nantel in his judgment, July 4, 1917,
concurred in by Assistajit Chief Commissioner Scott, that the width of 12 feet given
to the culvert showed that it was not used principally for drainage, and that the right
to the undercrossing was established and reserved by deed. Held further that the
Board had jurisdiction to ascertain the existence of the right to a crossing as stated
by the applicant, and that the existence of a level farm-crossing should not deprive
him of his right to an undercrossing, which was manifestly of considerable value to
him. The company were, therefore, directed and ordered to rebuild the cattle-pass as
it wag in existence under their railway track previous to the year 1916.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, July 13, 1917, that the application
did not establish any reservation in the deed of the applicant in respect of the alleged
undercrossing nor could the same be presumed from the evidence. Held further
that the case did not fall within the amending section as to agreements, the only
section u'lider which jurisdiction could be exercised. Held further that the jurisdiction
conferred upon the Board in respect of agj-eemcnts is an extraordinary one and i, in

limitation of the ordinary jurisdiction possessed by the courts; that the Board could
go no further than the jurisdiction so conferred; that the provincial courts had a wide
jurisdiction in respect of the enforcment of agreements and that the opinion that the
relief sought did not fall within the Railway Act did not interfere vfith the rights of
the applicant, if any, which he might establish to the satisfaction of the provincial
courts. Stager r. Pere Marquettf, File 11161, referred to.
The G. T. R. appealed from this decision of the Board to the Supreme Court of
Canada but before the appeal was heard the parties came to an agreement and notice
of desistment was filed by Bourassa.
Re APPLICATION OF THE OREAT XORTHAVESTERS TELEORAFII COMPANY AND THE CANADIAN
PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY'S TELEGRAPH FOR AUTHORITY TO AMEND THE CONDITIONS
ON THEIR TELEGRAPH FORMS.
This was an application made by the telegraph companies for an Order, under
section 340 of the Railway Act. that the Board's Order No. 162, dated March 30,
1916, approving the conditions on the telegraphic forms used by telegraphic companies
subject to the jurisdiction of the Board on which messages to be transmitted are to be
written, be amended. The following conditions to be inserted thereon : —
" It is agreed that this company, or any other company, forwarding this
telegram to reach its destination, shall not be liable for damages toward either
the sender or the addressee arising from failure to transmit or deliver, or for
any delay or error in the transmission or delivery of any unrepeated telegram,
whether happening from negligence of its servants or otherwise, or for delays
from the interruptions in the working of its lines, for errors in cypher or
obscure messages, or for errors from illegible writing, beyond the amount
received for sending the same."
" To guard against errors, the company will repeat back anj' telegram for
an extra payment of one-half the regular rate; and, in that case, the company
shall be liable for damages suffered by the sender to an extent not exceeding
$200, due to the negligence of the company in the transmission or delivery of
the telegram.'"
" Correctness in the transmission and delivery of messages can be insured
b.v contract in writing, stating agreed amount of risk, and payment of premium
thereon at the following rates, in addition to the usual charge for repeated
messages, viz.: One per cent for any distance not exceeding 1,000 miles, and
2 per cent for any greater distance."
"This company shall not be liable for the act or omission of any other
company, but will endeavour to forward the telegram by any other telegraph
company necessary to reaching its destination, but only as the agent of the
sender and without liability therefor. The company shall not be responsible for
messages until tho same are presented and accepted at one of its transmitting
offices; if a message is sent to such office by one of tho oompany'y messengers,
he acts for that purpose as the sender's agent; if by telei)lione, tlie person receiv-
ing the message acts therein as agent of the sender, being authorized to assent
to these conditions for the sender. This company shall not be liable in any case
for damages, unless the same bo claimed, in writing, within sixty days after
receipt of the telegram for transmission."
" No employee of the company shall viir>" the foregoing."
These amendments are asked by tlic telegraph companies so that the same con-
ditions shall prevail between a telegraph company and the addrctisee of a message as
arc provided between a telegraph company and the sender; and also that the samo con-
RKl'OHT OF THE COMMISSIO\eilS 39
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
ditions shall prevail in respect to the transmission of a message over connecting lines
as are imposed between the sender and addressee and a telegraph company receiving the
message for transmission.
Notice of the application was served upon the different Boards of Trade and com-
mercial bodies; and, speaking generally, it was opposed by all of them who have paid
any attention to the application.
The position taken by those oppo.?ed was that no limitation should be placed upon
the liability of the telegraph companies, but that these companies should be liable for
damages arising from any mistake, error, neglect, or delay in the transmission of
messages that might occur.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment, July li, 1917, concurred in
by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, Deputy Chief Commission Nantel and Com-
missioner McLean, that section 340 of the Railway Act does not enlarge the power
of the companies to pass by-laws, regulations, etc., and that the telegraph company can
only pass by-laws as may be necessary respecting the issue and transfer of shares and
for the management of the affairs of the company generally; and that the Board was
not prepared to hold that it had such a jurisdiction, although it would appear that the
question could be covered by direct legislation by the Dominion in view of the
decision in Grand Trunh Railway vs. Aliorney General of Canada (1907) A.C., G5.
Held, further, that the application must be dismissed but that the companies
should be given permission for a stated case for submission to the Supreme Court
covering the different questions of law arising.
DOMINION IIILLERS .\.SROCI.\TIOX V. GR.^ND TRINK .\ND CANADIAN PACIKIC RAILWAY COMP.iXIES.
The Board wiH not authorize an increase of remuneration in lake-and-rail tolls
for the purpose of lessening a prohibitive " spread " between them and all-rail tolls
of the same and other carriers between the same points, in order to induce part of the
traffic to move all-rail and so to prevent the all-rail tolls from being " cut " by a carrier
having no lake-and-rail route and desiring to participate in the traffic.
Having regard to the decision in the Eastern Rates Case, allowing an increase
in general freight tolls east of Fort William (ante, p. 4) and the reasons for that
decision, the Board held that reasonable increases in the tolls on grain and grain
products east of Fort William should be allowed and approved revised tolls accordingly.
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of the Assistant Chief Commissioner,

Re APPLICATION OF DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS OF THE PROVINCE OF ONTARIO TO
CONSTRUCT HIGH\V.A.Y ACROSS CAN.\DIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COSIPAXY's TR.ACKS IN TOWN-
SHIP OF KIRKPATRICK, DISTRICT OF NIPISSIXG.
This was an application by the Department of Public Works of the province of
Ontario to the Board for an Order directing the Canadian Pacific Pailwaj' Company
to construct a crossing on the highway between lots 8 and 9, concession 5, in the town-
ship of Kirkpatrick, in the district of Nipissing, and province of Ontario. The ques-
tion at issue between the parties was, who should pay for the construction of the cross-
ing, it being urged by the railway company that it was senior to the highway and that,
therefore, following the general rule of the Board in such case the applicant should
bear the cost of the construction. '
It appeared from the evidence that there are circumstances in connection with
the title of the railway company to its right-of-way through the township of Kirk-
patrick that were somewhat out of the ordinary, in as much as the title had not been
acquired by purchase by the company from a private landowner, but by grant from
the Dominion Government of certain land's transferred to that Government by the
Ontario Government, subject to certain limitations and conditions.

Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, July 19, 1917, that
as the railway company obtained the lands subject to the limitations contained in
clause 2 of 59 Victoria, chapter 11, and that as it was not clear from the reading of the
section whether it meant that the rights were to be existing or that the highways were
to be existing at the passing of the Act, that the province of Ontario should get the
benefit of the doubt and be declared senior to the railway company, and that the cost
of constructing the highway should be borne by the company. 24 Can. Ry. Cas.
' Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, July 27, 1917, that Provincial
Act, 59 Victoria, chapter 11, and that the Orders in Council issued respectively in
1866 and 1901, should be construed as reserving the public right of highways, but
conveying an absolute title in all respects.
Held, further, that section 2 of the Provincial Act, 59 Victoria, chapter 11,
referred to the rights of the public possessed under any declaration or Order in.
Council made by any authority competent to create or reserve them and which con-
tinued to exist at the time the Act was passed; and that the Order in Council of 1866
was passed by a competent authority and was unrepealed in 1901.
Held, further, that the highway in question should be treated in the same manner
as an ordinary unopened highway allowance is treated, and that the cost of opening
should be placed on the railway company. 24 Can. Ry. Cas.

Re ISTEBFERENXE .IT PORT HOPE BETWEEN THE C.\N.\DIAX PACIFIC AND GR.VXD TRUXK
RAILWAY COMPAXIES.
An interchange was authorized at Port Hope between the Canadian Northern
Railway Company and the Grand Trunk Railway Company by Order of the Board,
dated March 13, 1913. It appeared, however, that owing to the expensive nature of
the work which the Canadian Northern Railway would have to undertake that the
interchange was never constructed. In the meantime the Board had before it for
consideration the question of the construction of interchange tracks between the
Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk Railway Companies.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, July 24, 1917, con-
curred in by Commissioner Goodeve, that owing to the peculiar layout of the town of
Port Hope, which prevented the Canadian Pacific Railway Coinpan.v from construct-
ing sen'ice tracks for the benefit of the Port Hope industries, and the necessity of the
commercial industries to be in a position to have traffic handled by either route, that
the interchange applied for should be granted, the entire cost of construction to be
borne by the Cininillnn Pacific Railway Company.
APPLICATION OF THE CA.N.\I)HN CAR SERVICE BUREAU FOR APPROVAL OF REVISED CODK OF CAR
DEMURRAdE RULES. — FILE 170<J.
Judgment, Chief Commissioner Drayton, July 28, 1917, concurred in by Assistant
Chief Cominissioner Scott, Commissioner McLean and Commissioner (iooderr.
This application is one of great and widespread importance, affecting vitally as
it does freight transportation.
The application having been received, some eighty odd notices were sent out on
the Board's direction on May 25 to different Boards of Trade and other bodies vitall.y
interested.
The application was listed for hearing at Victoria, Vancouver, and Nelson, British
Columbia; Calgary, and Edmonton, Alberta; Saskatoon and Rogina, Saskatchewan;
Winnipeg, Manitoba; Fort William and Toronto, Ontario; Montreal, Quebec; and
Ottawa, Ontario.
REPORT OF THE COMillSSIOyERiS 41
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
These hearinps commenced at the sittings of the Board held at Victoria on the
4th of June, and the last sitting was held in Ottawa on July 5. some ninety-one
notices being issued by the Board to those interested for the Ottawa hearing alone.
Under the circumstances, the matter has been largely discussed and many sub-
missions made both for and against the application.
Further opportunity was given the parties at the Ottawa hearing to submit more
data, some of which has been received. It is, however, impossible to allow the matter
t6 stand longer, having regard to the exigencies of public traffic and particularly to
the movement of coal and fuel supplies.
Eule 1, as submitted for adoption, reads as follows: —
EuLE 1.— C.\Rs Subject to these Rules.
Cars held for, or by, consignor or consignee, for loading, unloading, for-
warding directions, or for any other purpose.
Exceptions.
(o) Private cars (loaded or empty) on private tracks of car owner.
(h) Empty private cars stored on carriers' or private tracks,
(c) Cars containing freight for transhipment to vessel, when moving on
through bill of lading and held at railway terminal awaiting boat.
There is no objection to this rule. It embodies previous practice.
At the hearing, it was contended by the railways that subsection (c) should he
struck out. Mr. Watts, on behalf of the grain shippers, objected, and desired the
retention of the clause.
The object of the railwa.ys sought to be served by dropping the subsection was to
make sure that their right of charging other carriers for delays was not taken away
from them.
These car demurrage rules are rules affecting entirely the situation as between
the carrier and shipper or consignee. They do not attempt to deal with rights one way
or the other between different carriers, whether by land or water, and the declaration
contained in the subsection cannot, in my view, affect any existing right of the rail-
ways as against intermediate or other carriers, whether of land or water. On the
other hand, it is manifest that the shipper or consignee ought not to be subject to
demurrage arising out of the default of an intermediate or terminal water carrier;
and the section should stand.
Rule 2, as submitted, reads: —
" Rule 2. — Notification.
(a) The consignee shall be promptly notified in writing, or as otherwise
agreed to by carrier and consignee, of the arrival of his freight, and shall bo
held to have been notified when notice has been sent, or given. If notice be
mailed, consignee shall be held to have been notified at seven o'clock a.m. fol-
lowing the date of mailing.
(h) Delivery of all cars upou private sidings, or industrial interchange
tracks, will constitute notification thereof to consignee.
(c) In all cases where notice is required, the removal of any part of the
contents of the car by consignee shall be considered notice thereof."
Subsection (a) does not give sufficient particulars to enable the consignee to iden-
tify car and contents. All possible information ought to be given by the railway com-
pany in the interests not only of the c/insignee, but in the interests of the rapid move-
ment of freight and clearance of terminals.
42 RAILWJLT COMMISSIOyERS FOR CAyADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
Of course, under general practice, where the consignee or his carter is not aware
of the exact spotting of car, the railway companies readily give information. This,
however, is not covered by the rule. The consignees ask for it. In my view they are
entitled to it: and I nm also of the opinion that if there is any delay in giving this
information for which the carrier is responsible, the time lost should he added to the
free-time allowance. I would, therefore, substitute the following for subsection (a) : —
(0) ^Notice shall be sent or given consignee b.v carrier's agent in writing, or
as otherwise agreed to in writing by carrier and consignee, with all dispatch
after arrival of car and billing; such notice to contain point of shipment, car
initials and number and the contents, also the initials and number of the original
car if transhipped in transit. K notice is mailed consignee shall be held to
have been notified at T o'clock a.m. following the date of mailing.
The carrier shall notify the consignee or his carter on application where his
car has been placed for unloading. Any time within the free time allowance
lost to the consignee in so doing for which the carrier is responsible shall be
added to the free-time allowance.
Subsection (fc) as drafted is not complete, but has to be read in connection with
rule 7, which provides, among other things, for '' constructive placement " in cases
where delivery on private sidings cannot be made.
The subsection should be made complete; and I would substitute the following
for it : —
(b) Delivery of cars upon private sidings or industrial interchange tracks
shall constitute notification thereof to consignee. If such delivery cannot be
made owing to such tracks being fully occupied, or from any other cause beyond
the control of the carrier, written notice of readiness so to deliver shall be given
and shall constitute notification to the consignee for the jiurposcs of thc.-e rules,
in which case the free time shall be computed from 7 a.m. of the first following
day.
I would approve of subsection (c) as it is submitted.
The next rule submitted for approval is rule 3, which reads as follows : —
"Rule 3.— Free Time Allowance.
(a) Twenty-four hours (one day) after notice of arrival (exclusive of Sun-
days and legal holiday-.) will be allowed for any or' all of the following pur-
poses, if necessary : —
(1) For clearing customs.
(2) For reconsignment or reshipment in same car.
(3) When care are held in transit for inspection or grading; stopped in
transit to complete loading, to partly unload, or to partly unload or partl.v
reload, when such privilege of stopping in transit is allowed in the tariffs of
the carriers.
(h) Forty-eight hours (two days) free-fime fexclusive of Sundays and legal
holidays) will be allowed for loading or unloading all commodities.
J:^xccplwn$.
(1; 1 wc-nty-fonr linnrs free-time only will be allowed for loacling grain at
btations Port Arthur and west thereof.
{2) Five days free-time shall be uUowi.'d at ^Montreal, and at tide water
portH, for unloading lumber and hay fur exi)ort.
(3) Manufacturers, lumbermen, miners, contractors, and others, who have
REPORT OF THE COMMIS^IOyERS 43
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
their own motive power and handle cars for themselves or others, shall be
granted additional allowance of the time necessary for them to do the switch-
ing to and from the, designated interchange tracks, not to exceed twenty-four
hours."
The adoption of the above rule would work a very radical change in that free
time allowed for all public team-track delivery would be shortened twenty-four hours.
The rule submitted is, in effect, the American rule. The old practice, in addition
to allowing this initial twenty-four hours for the purposes above set out, also extended
to the payment of charges and the giving of orders for special placement or delivery.
Conditions in Canada do not permit the adoption of this proposed rule. While
the Canadian Pacific can place cars on team-tracks without first receiving any specific
order, owing to the fact that their terminals are arranged in such a manner as to per-
mit this, the Grand Trunk cannot.
Under the rule in the States, a car, unless placement orders have already been
piven, is placed at any point in the terminal where it is accessible for unloading.
Under the American practice, if the consignee then desires to have the car spotted
elsewhere, a replacement or reswitching charge is levied.
Take the Grand Trunk's position for example. This company's freight from the
west is held at Mimico, and notification is given the consignees when it is there
received. Placement in Mimico is not of the slightest use to the Toronto consignee;
it cannot in fairness be looked upon as a placement in fact for unloading.
The twenty-four hours time now allowed, in my view, must be continued. It is
impracticable to have one rule for the Canadian Pacific and another rule for the
Grand Trunk; and the general conditions forbid the adoption of the rule as submitted
in Canada in this regard.
In my view, cars would not be the more speedily released. The only effect would
be to enable the railways to exact further tolls from the public. On the other hand,
the adoption of the rule would be prone to add to existing congestion. The additional
time is not uecessarj' for payment of charges.
I would, therefore, adopt section (a) as submitted, and subsection (1), adding as
a new subsection, the following: —
(2) In the case of consignees not served by private sidings or industrial
interchange tracks, to give orders for special placement.
I would also approve of subsections (2) and (3) as submitted; but they would
now become subsections (.3) and (4).
The railways in the past have charged demurrage when this initial twenty-four-
hour period, as granted for this specific purpose, has been exceeded.
In some instances, consignees have objected, on the ground that the effect of the
initial twenty-four hours really gave them seventy-two hours within which to release
the car, and that it made no difference one way or the other so long as the car was in
fact unloaded and released in seventy-two hours, whether customs had been cleared or
placement orders given on the second instead of the first day.
The companies' contention, of course, was that there was only twenty-four hours
allowed for this specific purpose.
Of course, demurrage ought to be charged in cases where consignee desires to take
advantage of the privilege. Forty-eight hours was the time fixed for unloading. To
this period the twenty-four hours has been added for these specific purposes, but only
for these specific purposes. There is, therefore, a strong reason why the customs should
be cleared and placement orders given within the first twenty-four hours. The car8
have then been but recently received, and they are at the more convenient situation
for placement. If placement orders are, as a matter of fact, held over imtil the next
day, although the unloading itself may not be delayed, terminal congestion is, never-
44 RAIL^YAT COMMISSIOXERS FOR CAXADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
theless, increased, as a fresh lot of cars have been brought into the terminal in the
second twenty-four hours, necessitating more switching and more shunting, so that the
car held during the prior period loses its position of advantage in so far as placement
is concerned.
The real object to be attained is, of course, the quick release of cars, and it would
be very unfortunate if in cases where cars could be the more readily released the full
time which is given to cover all operations was consumed by consignees who did not
require it.
So as to remove doubt in the future, I would add as a new subsection, the follow-
ing:—
(5) If the twenty-four hours allowed for the above-mentioned purposes
are exceeded, demurrage shall be charged.
Section (6) changes the former practice. The old rule allowed twenty-four hours
additional free-time for unloading coal, coke, and lime in bulk, and for loading or
unloading the following descriptions of lumber only, namely : boards, deals, and
scantlings.
The new rule is subject to much contention. While shippers and consignees
generally complain of lack of proper railway transportation, lack of cars, and terminal
facilities, coal dealers and lumber dealers, generally, strongly object to their free time
being cut down to the level of the ordinary trader.
As the matter stood, the coal dealer might be entitled to: —
1. 24 hours for customs.
2. 24 hours for placement.
3. 72 hours for unloading.
The Toronto coal dealers, represented by !Mr. Harrington, are most insistent on
retaining the time. The larger coal dealers having nicohanical plants have not objected
to the proposed rule. It may bo obsen-ed that the bulk of Toronto's coal traffic is
carried by the larger dealers, who have installed proper and modern appliances.
There is no complaint made by the railways in connection with them. • On the other
hand, the Standard Fuel Company have stated that their practice is to unload cars
between shunts. It may also be obsen-ed that these modern appliances, located as
they are on private sidings, do not require the twenty-four hours for placement, which
is continued in case of the smaller operator.
Toronto is dependent upon American coal, and much of that coal is carried in
American cars; and the American railways have taken the jwsition that an unnecessary
length of time is allowed for unloading their cars in Canadian territory, and that it
should be cut down to the same basis as that in the United States.
Since the hearing a delegation from Toronto called compl.^ining of the bad effect
of the present demurrage rules, and desired that the matter should he taken up by the
Board, and such rules adopted as would ensure prompt release of cars and discourage
speculation in coal car-lots in terminals. They favoured the adoption of the tariff and
time i)laced in effect during the period of congestion last winter.
There is no doubt that a quicker movement is in the interests of the public, and
particularly in tlie interests of the public of Ontario. This interest is none the less
existent in the more isolated cases of dealers who have not proper plants, and the
charge will bear heavily upon them.
The railway records undoubtedly in themselves show many terminal delays owing
to congestion And lack of facilitiro; btit the suggevtinn that because of this fact the
railways ought not to get demurrage, and that the movement ought not to be speeded
up at the expense of delinquent dealers, owing to the delinquencies of the railways
themselves, loses sight entirely of the one predominating consideration, and that is
the interests of the public and the securing of a maximum efficiency from transporta-
tion facilities.
REPORT OF TUE COMMISSIONERS 45
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
To illustrate the necessity of a more effective demurrage charge the railway
records show a car of coal arriving in Toronto on May 14. The consignees released the
car from bond on May 16, and sold it. On May 18 the car was switched to the private
siding of the purchaser. It there remaiuded under load until July 7, when it was
again sold and $40 demurrage for delay on the siding paid. On July 22 the car was
still loaded, the second purchaser claiming that he was unable to unload owing to
inability to get labour.
The same firm of consignees had another car which arrived in Toronto, May 12.
They released the car from bond on May IS, when they sold it. On the same day it was
placed upon the purchaser's siding. In like manner, it remained under load until July
7, when it was sold and then again re-sold. Forty dollars was again paid for holding
the car on the siding of the first purchaser; and then the car, owing to the fact that
the last purchaser had a siding at West Toronto, was switched out by the Grand
Trunk to the C. P. R. for West Toronto placement on July 9.
It should not be understood for a minute that these eases show the general prac-
tice. The very large majority of Toronto coal dealers have done their best to facilitate
the movement of coal; but at a time like the present no system can be tolerated which
permits occurrences such as those above set out to continue.
I would adopt the new subsection (&) as submitted.
Subsection (1) of the " Exceptions " is not a matter which this Board deals with
at all — it is covered by the Grain Act. I would, however, substitute the following for
the subsection submitted: —
(1) In the portion of Canada, Port Arthur and west in which the " Canada
Grain Act" applies, twenty-four hours free time only will be allowed for load-
ing grain.
Exceptions number (2) and (3) carry out past practice. I would adopt them.
Rule 4 as submitted for approval is as follows : —
" Rule 4. — Computing Time.
(a) On cars held for loading, time will be computed from the first 7 a.m.
after placement, until loading is completed, and proper billing instructions fur-
nished except that on cars placed for loading grain at stations Port Arthur and
west thereof, free-time will be computed from the -hour cars are placed at
shipper's disposal on siding.
(i) On cars held for disposal (see rule 3-A) time will be computed from
the first 7 a.m. after the day on which notice of arrival is sent, or given to the
consignee.
(c) On cars held for unloading, time will be computed from tJic first 7 a.m.
following placement on public delivery tracks, provided notice of arrival has
been sent, or given to the consignee.
(d) On cars to be unloaded on private delivery tracks, time will be com-
puted from the first 7 a.m. after actual or constructive placement on such
tracks.
(e) On cars to be loaded or unloaded on tracks of manufacturers, lumber-
men, miners, contractors, or others, who have their own motive power and
handle cars for themselves or others, time will be computed from the first
7 a.m. following actual or constructive placcmciit on the interchange tracks
until returned thereto. Cars returned loaded will not be recorded released until
billing instructions and other necessary data furnished.
(/) When empty cars are placed for loading on orders, and are not used,
demurrage will be charged from the first 7 a.m. after placement until released
without any free-time allowance.
46 liAILWAY CUUMr.^SIOyEKS FOR CAyADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
(g) When an empty foreign car is placed for loading via a specific route
so as to protect ownei-ship of ear, according to Car Service Rules, and same is
not so loaded, demurrage will be charged until car is unloaded without any
free-time allowance.
(h) Time lost to the shipper or consignee through switching of cars, or
any other cause for which the railway company is resix)nsiblc, shall be added
to the free-time allowance.
(t) In computing free-time, Sundays and legal holidays will be excluded.
After expiration of the free-time demurrage shall be charged for Sundays and
legal holidays. The exemption for holidays does not include half holidays."
Subsection (a) ehould be changed by striking out the words " from the hour cars
are placed at shipper's disposal on sidings"; and substituting therefor the words
" under the provisions of the Canada Grain Act.'
With this change, I would adopt the whole of this rule, with the exception of
subsection (i). Subsection (t) changes the practice entirely. Under the old practice,
in computing free-time Sundays and legal holidays were, of course, excluded. Under
the new proposal they are also excluded ; but, under past practice, Sundays and legal
holidays were also excluded from the time for which demurrage was charged.
Cars cannot be unloaded Cither on Sundays or on legal holidays. To include them
in demurrage time is merely adding an extra penalty for an ordinary default. There
can be no justification for it. Ordinary defaults will be fully covered by the scale of
demurrage which I think ought to be adopted. Under these circumstances, I would
change subsection (t) to read as follows: —
(t) In computing free-time or demurrage time, Sundays and legal holidays
will be excluded. The exemption for holidays docs not include half holidays.
Rule 5, as submitted for approval, reads as follows : —
"Rule 5. — Weather Interference.
" If wet or inclement weather, according to local conditions, renders loading
or unloading impracticable during bu.siness hours, or exposes the goods to
damage, the free-time allowance shall be extended so as to give the full free-
time of suitable weather. But if the cars are not loaded or \inloadcd within
the first forty-eight hours of suitable weather no additional free-time shall be
allowed.
" This rule shall not absolve shipper or consignee from liability for demur-
rage, if others similarly situated and under same conditions, load or unload
cars."
The first paragraph of this rule covers existing practice. I would allow it.
The second paragraph, which prevents shippers or consignees talcing advantage of
bad weather conditions if other consignees do not want to, is new.
1 do not think the new paragraph should he allowed. I see no reason wli.v, because
one shipper choosre to take chances and possibly injure his goods, that all other ship-
pers have to do the same. The question in each case ought to bo the question of fact
as to whether or not weather conditions were such ns to render loading or unloading
iropracticBble, or as to expose tlie goods in question to damage.
The rule as drafted does not cover bulk commodities frozen in transit. It is but
fair to say that the old rule also did not. There, is however, some times very real dif-
ficulty in connection with bulk freight so frozen. It is extremely difficult to remove
REPOKT OF TUB COilMlSSIOyDRS 47
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
crushed stone, coal, or ore from hopper cars if the contents become solidly frozen. In
my view, a further section should be added to cover this difficulty, as follows : —
(6) Should bulk freight be so frozen in transit or before placement as to
render unloading impossible within the prescribed free time, such additional
time shall be granted as may be necessary.
Rule 6. submitted for approval reads: —
" Rule 6. — Bunching.
" When, as the result of the act or neglect of any carrier, cars originating
at the same point destined for one consignee at one point and moving via the
same route are delivered or tendered at destination in accumulated numbers,
the consignee shall be allowed such free time as he would have been entitled to
had the cars been delivered or tendered in same number per day as were shipped
per day. Claim must be presented in writing to carrier's agent within fifteen
days, accompanied by written statement of all cars involved in alleged bunching,
with date and point of shipment of each, as evidenced by bills of lading."
More or less discussion has taken place in connection with this rule. The National
rule seems to have worked out well — perhaps it is a little clearer. Shippers and con-
signees have asked the adoption of the National Demurrage Rule in force in the
United States. The National rule dealing with the subject reads as follows:
"1. Cars for loading.— Whan, by reason of delay or irregularity of the
carrier in filling orders, cars are bunched and placed for loading in accumulated
numbers in excess of daily orders, the shipper shall be allowed such free time
for loading as he would have been entitled to had the cars been placed for load-
ing as ordered."
" 2. Cars for unloading or reconsigning. — When as the result of the act or
neglect of any carrier, cars destined for one consignee at one point, are bunched
at originating point, in transit, or at destination, and delivered by the carrier
line in accumulated numbers in excess of daily shipments, the consignee shall
be allowed such free time as he would have been entitled to had the cars been
delivered in accordance with the daily rate of shipment. Claim to be presented
to carrier's agent within fifteen (15) days."
I would adopt the National Demurrage Rule.
Rule 7 submitted for approval is as follows: —
" Rule 7. — Placement.
^ (o) "Actual Placement" is made when a car is placed in an accessible
position for loading or unloading.
(6) (1) Delivery of cars to private sidings or industrial interchange tracks
shall be considered to have been made when such cars have been placed thereon,
or would have been placed but for some condition for which the consignee is
responsible. When cars cannot be so placed, the carrier's agent shall notify the
consignee that he has been unable to deliver cars because of the condition of the
private siding, or interchange tracks, or because of other conditions attributable
to the consignee. This will be considered " Constructive Placement."
(2) If an authorized employee upon a railway which performs switching
services gives notice that such railway is unable to receive cars for private
48 ' RAILWAY COMMISSIOXERS FOR CASADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
siding, owing to conditions for which shippers or consignees are responsible,
then any other railway company having cars for such consignee shal so advise
them, and the ear service toll shall be charged until the cars on such private
sidings have been unloaded or loaded, as the case may be, or until such sidings
have been otherwise cleared.
(e) When delivery cannot be made on specially designated public delivery
tracks on account of such tracks being fully occupied, or from any other cause
beyond the control of the carrier, the carrier shall send or give the consignee
notice in writing, or as otherwise agreed to by carrier and consignee, of its
intention to make delivery at the nearest point available, to the consignee
naming the point. Such delivery shall be made, unless the consignee shall
before delivery indicate a preferred available point, in wliieh case the preferred
delivery shall be made.
I would adopt section (a) as it stands, and section (h) as itf stands, with the
addition of tlie words "in -writing"' after the word "consignee" in the fourth line.
Mr. Walsh, of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, objects strongly to
subsection (2) of (6) as not being sufiSciently explicit, and not making clear that the
switching company is the company to look after the matter of demurrage thus arising
He asks that the paragraph should be struck out entirely and that the following
paragraph be added to section (b) : —
This will apply to such cars which consignees located on switching line are
unable to .receive and which, for that reason, the switching line is unable to
receive from the carrier line. The carrier line will advise the switching line
of point of shipment, car initials and number, contents and consignee, and if
transferred in transit the initials and number of the original car. The switch-
ing line will notify consignee and put such cars under constructive placement.
I would give effect to Mr. Walsh's submissions; and, as a result, would strike out
subsection (2) of (h) entirely, leaving (b) with but one section.
Section (c) carries on existing practice, and there is no objection to it.
Rule 8 as drafted is as follows: —
Rule 8. — Customs RuspONSiniLiTv.
Demurrage charges shall not be collected from the consignee for any delays
for which the customs oflScials may be responsible.
Consignees object to this rule as drafted. They point out tliat delays have
occurred owing to the acts or omissions of gnvernmcnt inspectors other than customs
officials, and that they also might occur from mistakes made in the manifest issued by
the railway companies themselves.
The last case would appear to me to be a railway error; so in that event demur-
rage would not be collcctcfl. There is no reason, however, why the matter cannot be
made clear. I would change the rule, striking it out. and making it read as follows: —
Rule 8. — Customs on Inspection- Delays.
Demurrage charges shall not be collected from the consignee for any delays
for which flovemment or railway officials may be responsible.
Rule 9 as submittetl reads: —
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIOSERS 49
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
Rule 9. — Chaiige.
After the expiration of the free time allowed, a demurrage charge of three
dollars ($3) per car per day, or, fraction of a day, will be made until car is
released.
I am not at all in favour of the railway proposal of $3 a day. There are cases,
and always will be cases, where the greatest diligence is sometimes attended with
delay. The man who is trying to do his best ought not to be unduly penalized. I
agree that the greatest number of delays to cars of necessity occur on the day first
after the free time; but I am firmly convinced that the delays which are really unneces-
sary, many instances of which have been brought before the Board, are delays
which extend until well beyond this first day and for a week and more afterwards.
The general American rule now in force is that the first and second days are
allowed for unloading free; for the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh days that
the car is held in the consignee's possession a charge of $2 a day is made; and for
each day thereafter a charge of $5 a day is made.
The result is that for the first week, under this rule, that the car is held for
unloading a charge of $10 in all is made. The rule proposed by the Canadian
carriers would result in a charge of $1.5.
"With much deference, T think the holding of a car on the third day ought not to
be considered in the light of a penalty. Some charge, of course, has to be made; but
to my mind there is no doubt that a heavier charge ought to be made for a delay on
the sixth day than for a delay on the third. The object, as I see it, is not to penalize
the man who is desiring to do business as quickly as he can, but to penalize the man
who is persistently holding cars over the prescribed free period or turning them into
temjiorary warehouses.
I would, during the war, adopt the following scale: —
1st and 2nd days to be free.
. For the 3rd day a charge of $1 to be made.
For the 4th day a charge of $2 to be made.
For the 5th day a charge of $3 to be made.
For the 6th day a charge of $4 to be made.
For the Vth day. and all days thereafter, a charge of $5 per day to be made.
This tariff onght to release cars quickly. Under it, the car held for seven days
would be subject to a charge of $1.5, as against $10 under the American tariff, although
for three days, which is the period covering most cars, the charge would be but $1 as
against $2 in the States; and for four days, $3 as against $4.
It may be thought that the tariff is specially severe. It ought never to be applied.
I am confident that with diligence all cars can be unloaded, if not within three, cer-
tainl.v within four days; and if by reason of some special circumstances the consignees
may find themselves in an unfortunate position, it is infinitely better that the
individual should suffer rather than the whole. Traffic must be speeded up, and coal
must be got into the country.
Eule 10, as submitted for approval, is as follows : —
EULE 10. — NON-P.WMENT.
If paymen,t of demurra.ac charges properly due on cars held on public
delivery tracks be refused, delivery of only the ear or ears on which such
charges are due shall be withheld, by means of sealing or locking, or by placing
where such cars shall not be accessible.
20c— 4
50 RAILWAY COMMI.SSrOXER!? FOR CASADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
If the owners or users of private tracks, or the owners of industrial tracks
referred to in rule 4, refuse to pay any charges which may already be due,
delivery of cars to such sidingrs or tracks shall be suspended, and delivery shall
be made on any available public team track until such charges have been paid.
This rule embodies past practice. 1 would approve it.
The matters of reciprocal and average denuirrago have again been proposed.
There is, of course, no room for doubt that the public could not get a proper rail-
way freight service last winter. Many shippers were unable to get cars, and when they
got cars were unable to get a movement except after very great and vexatious delays;
and many consignees were unable to get their freight, although shipped and in the
hands of the railways. Not only did great inconvenience result, but unquestionably in
many instances great loss. Anything which can be done to hasten the movement of
freight ought to be undertaken, and if either reciprocal or average demurrage, or both
would hasten the movement, they ought to be adopted. If it is not clear that the
adoption of this arrangement would produce this result; and if, on the other hand,
their adoption, particularly at a time of congestion and stress, woiild merely add to an
already highly complicated situation, it is equally obvious that they should not be now
adopted.
While it is true that the public have suffered as indicated owing to railway con-
gestion, it is also true that the railways themselves have suffered similarly.
The greatest delays and tlie greatest number of complaints made by shippers and
consignees occurred during last winter.
As a general thing, it is certainly admitted that railway managements are anxious
to make just as mucli money from their undertakings as they can. Complaints against
railways as a rule are based upon the proposition that the companies arc unduly
anxious to make money, rather than unduly anxious to lose it; and the congestion
worked in turn similar and perhaps greater loss to the companies.
In Ontario, as a result of the congestion in February last, the freight business of
the Canadian Pacific was actually 15-5S per cent less than the business of ifebruary,
1916, while the Grand Trunk's decrease amounted to no less than 39-37 per cent. The
decreases in the Quebec district were greater, the Canadian Pacific's being 25-8-2 per
cent and the Grand Trunk's 48-5 per cent.
It must be borne in mind that these decreases occurrinl at a time when a
tremendous amount of freight was offered both systems. Neither company certaiiily
had to solicit it; but, on the other hand, both companies were refusing it. The money
was there for them to earn if they could possibly earn it. The actual performances
resulted in loss of freight earnings amounting in the aggregate to great sums of
money to both systems.
The reciprocal demurrnge nskod would call for a penalty of $1 a day for delays
in placing ears in terminals, the companies being allowed forty-eight hours within
which to place cars after notification without penalty. At the expiration of this
time, the companies would be subject to $1 a day fine, or whatever fine the Board might
raise the request to, for each day the movement was in default.
The pf.i-ible losses to the comiianies under sucli a plan would be entirely infinite-
simal as compared to the actual losses incurred. The incentive to service which a
demurrage penalty would afford would be indeed .»mall as compared to the incentive
the companies would alread.v be under.
There is n grave possibility that cars, instead of being promptly reported, would
be hold up by tlie ynrdmaster until he was ready to spot bis cars. After all, wo are
ull human; and the railway officiiil, having it in his own hands to show a good per-
formnacc in his terminal, would certainly be niui-h teiniitcd to hold cars and car
nollfi'-atioiis until brvr.iul nil quealinn the cars could be placed without delay. This
REPORT OF THE COilMISSIOyERS 51
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
would not increase the general movement, but greatly delay it. In my view, the
railways should send their notices with all possible despatch after the receipt of cars,
and cars should be placed just as soon as possible, without waiting for the expiration
of 24-hours, 48-hours, or any other period.
Toronto was probably the worst point in the country last winter in so far as
spotting cars was concerned. The Board made arransrements under which a special
official was appointed to keep track of all orders, and see that placement of all cars
was promptly made.
At the hearing, I pointed this out to Mr. Harrington, and said:—
" In that way the car detentions in Toronto have been cut down tremend-
ously—you know about that— I think very much more than any one dollar a day
would have done."
Mr. Harrington's reply was: —
"Undoubtedly and unquestionably."
The smaller dealers are those who desire reciprocal demurrage.
The larger shippers, speaking generally, are against reciprocal^ demurrage, but
demand with equal insistance average demurrage. In their behalf it is suggested that
reciprocal demurrage would open the door to abuses — that it would give an opportunity
for preference; and that with reciprocal demurrage which had been adopted in some
States the machinery was found to be so complicated that it did not work out success-
fully and no one had ever tried to collect the reciprocal demurrage penalty.
Mr. Mann, who also appeared for the Eetail Coal Dealers, was of the view that
reciprocal demurrage would not give a remedy.
Mr. "Watts, who appeared for the grain trade, strongly supported reciprocal
demurrage, but was of the view that to-day was not the proper time to deal with the
question. His view was that it ought to be left open for consideration by the Board
with open mind after the war and when conditions were more normal.
I think Mr. "Watt's position is correct, and the matter should be so left.
Average demurrage does not help the smaller dealer, and, he, in turn, objects to
average demurrage, being of the view that reciprocal demurrage is the only proper
remedy.
Mr. "Watts' position was that average demurrage, while benefiting the larger
dealers, would be of little use to his clients. His position may be taken as typical of
those representing the consignees handling small quantities.
Those asking for average demurrage recognized the difficulties of the present
situation, and thought that these abnormal times are perhaps not the best for the
introduction of the scheme.
In my view, the average demurrage question might well stand on the same basis
as the question of reciprocal demurrage — to be taken up after the war is over.
In the meantime, the Board will endeavour to ascertain whether the adoption of
these plans have worked real benefit in places where they have been tried. From the
best information that the Board had at previous hearings, the contrary was the case.
It may be that they are now working out well; and if so, and they can be made to
work out in the interests of quicker movement under normal conditions, they, of
course, ought to be adopted. SJf Can. By. Cas.
APPLICATION OF THE BOARDS OF TRADE, OF SfOOSE.TAW AND ROSETOWX, BASK., FOR AN ORDER
DIRECTING THE CANADIAN NORTHERN AND CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANIES TO

This application had been before the Board a number of times and the last judg-
ment dealing with it was dated July 6, 1915, when the application was dimissed. It

further appeared that at that time there -was not sufficient business to warrant the
Board, under any head, giving effect to the application. A new application was nvade
the following year on the grounds that business had so much increased that a transfer
was necessary. It appeared that at the same time transfer tracks were applied for at
Moosejaw and Forward, Sask.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment, July 30, 191Y, concurred in
by Commissioner McLean, that the information which the Board had before it, and
the information obtained at the demurrage hearings required the issuance of an Order
for a transfer track as asked for by the applicants, and that such transfer track should
be installed at the joint expense of the railway companies.
PETITION" OF THE ALBERTA PACIFIC GRAIN COMPANY, I-TD., AXD OTHERS, " RF, " STENCILLING OF
INCHES IN BOX CARS SUITABLE FOR SHIPMENTS OF BULK GRAIN.
This matter was heard at a sittings of the Board in Calgary. In the application
presented it was asked that a ruling should be given providing for the stencilling of
the inside of box cars used in carrying bulk grain, said stencilling being applied in
inches in four different places of the car. It was represented that at present the
Alberta Pacific Grain Company was using a temporary substitute for stencilling.
Paper strips with inches marked thereon are made use of and are attached in the inside
of the cars used by the company applicant. It was stated that they worked fairly
satisfactorily. Objections were that they were not always put on perpendicularly,
that they were apt to get torn, and that they were not so efficient as permanent sten-
cilling would be. The system of paper strips has been found of use in the business of
the applicant, and in evidence submitted in other connections the Board has been
informed that similar paper strips are also used by others.
Held, Commissioner ifcLean in his judgment, July 31, 1917, concurred in by Chief
Commissioner Drayton, that the Board has had occasion to recognize in other con-
nections the settlement which takes place in transit, alteration of level from transit
movements, etc. Held further that the method suggested by 'Mr. Frem, supporting the
application, was one that should be given a reasonable trial. Held further that an
Order should go for the equipment with stencils of box cars used in the grain traffic
in Alberta, Sask., and JIanitoba, but that with existing conditions of traffic and the
demands on equipment, it was impossible to fix a time limit; that the cars were to be
so equipped from time to time as they were shopped for repairs, and any new cars which
were be^ng put int<i such traffic were to be so equipped v.'hen constructed. 2Ji Can. Tiy.

Order No. 25012 of 'May 27. 1916, provided for the installation by the Grand
Trunk of gatos at the crossings of Waterloo and Colbnmc streets, in the city of Lon-
don, Ont. The street crossings now before the Board uiri- protected nt the time this
REPORT OF THE niM.\Uf^!< KiMCRS 53
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
Order issued by day aud night watclmien appointed and paid by the Grand Trunk;
and these crossings, in common with certain others, were reserved for further con-
sideration.
Further investigations have been made as to Adelaide, Kectory and Burwell
streets. The Board's officers advise that because of traffic conditions and obstructions
to the view further protection is necessary. Burwell, Adelaide and Eectory streets are
paved up to the tracks.
Hold, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, September 1, 1917, concurred in by
Chief Commissioner Drayton and Commissioner Goodeve, that gates should be installed
at the crossings, to be operated day and night; detail plans of said gates to be filed
for the approval of an engineer of the Board; such gates to be installed by the Grand
Trunk Kailway Company. Held further that the city of London and the railway
company should have an opportunity of speaking to the division of cost in respect of
the particular crossings involved, and that upon their submissions being received tho
question of distribution of cost would then be dealt with.
The question of the distribution of cost reserved above, was dealt with at a subse-
quent hearing of the Board as follows: —
No exception was taken to the method of distribution as regarded Adelaide street-
and Burwell street, and the distribution of cost of these streets was accordingly fixed.
It further appeared that Rectory street was junior to the railway and the Londont
Street Railway also operated over this crossing. The Grand Trunk Railway Company
submitted that 60 per cent of the cost should be imposed upon the city, in view of the
said street being junior, the city contending that the London Street Railway ought to
pay at least 30 per cent of tho cost of protection nt Rectory street.
The London Street Railway stated that when they obtained the crossing over the
Grand Trunk this was under an Order of the Railway Committee of the Privy Coun-
cil, dated November 15, 1898, which order was subject to the provisions of an agree-
ment entered into between the parties on October 1, 1898. Under this agreement the
street railway company undertook to pay the expense of the wages of the watchmen
at the Rectory street crossing, it being provided that these watchmen were to operate
the signals at the crossing. Under this arrangement the watchmen were appointed
by the Grand Trunk and paid by the London Street Railway Company, and provision
was made for day and night watchmen.
Held. Commissioner McLean in his judgment, December 10, 1917, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott and Commis-
sioner Goodeve, that the interlocking device should be connected up with the tower
and the necessary additional levers, if any, installed so that the half interlocker
might be operated from the tower as well as the gates; that this should form part of
the cost of installation, but that in view of there being no objection to the existing
half interlocker, the street railway company should not be asked to participate in this
additional cost; that the cost of installation should be divided; 20 per cent from the
Grade Crossing Fund, 20 per cent on the Grand Trunk Railway Company, and 60 per
cent on the city. Held, further, that the street railway should continue to pay the
cost of the day and night watchmen who are to be appointed as at present, the balance
of the cost of maintenance to he borne by the Grand Trunk Railway Company. Held,
further, that the .street railway company was to continue to look after the same main-
tenance charges as are provided for in the Order of the Railway Committee of the
Privy Council, dated Novemher 15, 1808.

Be STATION L.«-OUT AT FALLOWFIELD, OXT., CANADIAN NORTHERN R.\ILWAY.
The present location of the station at Fallowfield -was approved by an Order of the
Board, dated March 14, 1912, and the present application was made to move the
elation one mile east.
It appeared from the evidence that the proposed location has a 1-4 per cent grade
against castbound traffic; that it would also be in a cut, with a blind curve a short
distance west. It also appeared from the evidence that in the district in question the
stations are very close together as compared with the usual standard distances.
Held, Couunissiouer A. S. Goodeve in his judgment, September 7, 1917, concurred

the circumstances the Board would not be iu-ititiid in making tlic Order nsked for.
COMPLAINT OF H. E. DUNPHY, EXCEL, ALTA., RE DEMURRAGE CHARGE ON BARLEY SHIPPED
FROM LANFINE, ALTA., TO WINNIPEG, MAN., CANADIAN NORTHERN R.ULWAY.
Complaint was made to the Board regarding the demurrage charge imposed on a
car of barley which moved from Lanfine, Alta., to Winnipeg, Man., the applicant
stating that a number of cars were dropped off at Lanfine in January, 191G; that they
stood there for some time; and that he took- no steps towards securing one up to the
morning of Januarj- 25, when he loaded some barley into one of the cars, and had
teams loading all that day and the ne-xt day, and that by the afternoon of the 2Gth
January the car was loaded.
In view of the contradictory statements, one of the Board's Inspectors was directed
to make an investigation, which was done and a report filed.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, September 11, 1917, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, that in the absence of definite information to con-
trovert the record as to the handling of the car in question, there is no evidence to
justify a ruling that the charges were improperly assessed.
i?e APPLICATION OF TORONTO, HAMILTON AND BUFFALO R.^ILWAV COMPANY UNDER SECTION
178 OF THE RAILWAY ACT.
This was nn application of the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway Company
under the provisions of section 178 of the Railway Act to take certain lands belonging
to the estate of the late Senator McCallum and to the estate of the late Thomas C.
Street, in the township of Sherbrooke, county of Haldimand, and province of Ontario.
It appeared from the evidence that the railway company was already the owner
of a large area of property lying between its railway and tlie Grnd river to the south
of the property in question, and it was contended by the landowners that that property
should be used for the purpose of establisliing the facilities desired instead of the
property which the railway now applies for permission to acquire.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, September 14, 1917,
concurred in by Commissioner Goodeve, that the land applied for was the most suit-
able avaihible location for the purposes for which the railway desired to use it, and
that it was in the public interest that the company should be permitted to acquire the
land for such puri>oses.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
COMPLAINT OF. DOMINION CAXSERS, LIMITKD, re CRAXD TRUNK AND CANADIAN PACIFIC TARIFFS
CONTAINING COMMODITY RATES ON CANNED GOODS.
Complaint was filed by the Dominion Canners, Limited, against tariffs filed by
the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Companies eliminating the item formerly
effective, whereby the fifth class Trenton rates were granted to canned goods from
points on the Central Ontario Eailwny to points in Ontario west of Whitby, Peterboro
and Ottawa. The effect of the cancellation of the item in question was that instead
of the Trenton basis applying, fifth class rates applied from points on the Central
Ontario Railway division to points in the above mentioned territory.
It developed at the hearing before the Board that a large amount of correspondence
had taken place between the parties, and the extensive correspondence between the
railways had been filed and duly considered. The position of the Grand Trunk, as
therein developed, was, in general, that the matter should be dealt with only in.
connection with the general issue of joint-class rates. The Canadian Northern had
endeavored to obtain an agreement as to the particular rates involved in the present
application. The Canadian Northern had notified the Grand Trunk that it was
prepared to establish new rates on canned goods west of Toronto on the proposed
thorough fifth-class basis as submitted, delivering the freight to the Grand Trunk at
Toronto. In reply, the Grand Trunk objected, both to the particular rates involved
being dealt with separately, and also to the routing of traffic via Toronto until
definite general arrangement was made.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, September 17, 1917, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott and Com-
missioner Goodeve, that, all things considered, it was proper to deal with the present
application and to give a decision at present on the present facts as developed. Held
that without establishing any precedent with respect to the general tariffs which have
yet to be worked out, that the rates submitted by the Canadian Northern Railway were
reasonable. Held further that the percentage divisions were also reasonable, but that
that could be spoken to if either of the railway companies desired any alterations in
them, but that if they intended to avail themselves of that right, they should do so
within three weeks from the date of the judgment, and that in the meantime a tariff
in compliance with what had been submitted should be filed to be effective within thirty

PREMIER COAL COMPANY VS. CANADIAN FREIGHT ASSOCIATION.
The Board disallowed a toll of $2 for switching and spotting movements, on spurs

Be LOCATION OF STATION OX CANADIAN PACinC RAILWAY AT MUD LAKE OR BOLINGBROKE,
ONTARIO.
It appeared from the evidence that the residents of the township of South
Sherbrook had been agitating for a station somewhere between Christie Lake and
Crow Lake on the line of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and that two
56 RJ.ILWAT COilMISSloyERS FOR CAXADA

]ocations had been suggested, one at ilud Lake and the other at Bolingbroke. The
Canadian Pacific Railway Company contended that there was no necessity for any
station between Christie Lake and Crow Lake, but that if a station must be established
somewhere between these points that Bolingbroke was the best place for it.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, September 29, 1917,
concurred in by Commissioner Goodeve, that there should be a flag stop somewhere
between Christie Lake and Crow Lake, and that Mud Lake was the best place for it.
Held further that the Board's Order of May 5, 1917, should remain etfective and
should be complied with without further delay by the railway company and that
stops on flag should be made by suitable trains of the company.
O'dIUES BltOTHERS V. C.VNADIAX P.iClFlC RAILW.W COMPANY.
The mere acquisition of lands on both sides of a railway right of way does not
per se give a right to a farm crossing. The original owner having lost. his right to a
crossing by conveying the lands on one side to another person, a subsequent owner
purchasing the lands on both sides from different vendors does not thereby acquire
a right to a farm crossing to connect them. The Board, however, has jurisdiction,
under section 253, to order a crossing, which it will exercise in a proper case and on
proper terms.

Re APPLICATION TO CONSTRUCT SPUR IX THE TOWN" OF COBOURG TO THE PREMISES OF

This was an application made for the construction of an industrial spur into the
premises of the Thompson-Macdonald Company, of the town of Cobourg, Ont., and
to cross, in connection with such construction, Division street in the said town.
It appeared that the Board's Assistant Chief Engineer had approved of the plan
and that a consent Order had issued on June 20, 1917; that later an objection was
taken by the town of Cobourg to the Order. It further appeared that a private agree-
ment had been entered into between the Thompson-llacdonald Company and the muni-
cipality and that the Board was now asked to incorporate this agreement in its Order.
Held, Commissioner A. S. Goodeve in his judgment, October 17, 1917, concurred
in by the Chief Commissioner, that the terms as set out in the judgment delivered by
the Chief Commissioner of the Board in the application of B. Shragge, of Winnipeg,

By agreement between the Grand Trunk and Canadian Pacific Railway Com-

Canadian Pacific were given a lease for a period of 50 years of the joint use of the
Grand Trunk line between Hamilton Junction and the city of Toronto, known as the
" Joint Section." By the 16th clause of the agreement, the Canadian Pacific agreed
to do through passenger and freight business over the joint section, but not local
business between either Hamilton or Toronto and an intermediate station on the
joint section.

Oakville is a town on the joint section, with a population of over 3,000 inhabitants,
about 21 miles west of Toronto. Many of its residents have their offices or places of
business in Toronto.
For many years the Grand Truniv Railway Company pave a fairly satisfactory
suburban service between Oakville and Toronto, until in January, 1917, the 11.45
p.m. train out of Toronto was discontinued to economize fuel, and the Canadian Pacific
voluntarily agreed to stop its 7.15 p.m. train out of Toronto for Buffalo. In June,
1917, the Grand Trunk re-established its 11.45 p.m. train and discontinued it again
in September, 1917. The Canadian Pacific being unwilling, the Board ordered its
7.15 p.m. train out of Toronto to stop at Oakville.
The Assistant Chief Commissioner: The confirmatory Act is not a special Act
within the meaning of section 3 of the Eailway Act, but merely validated a private

ing the general public.
Mr. CoMMissioxER McLe.\n: The confirmatory Act is a special Act within the

APPL1C.\TI0X UNDER SECTION 284 OF THE RAILWAY ACT FOR AN ORDER REQUIRING THE CANADIAN
P.^CIFIC B.MLWAY COMPANY TO FURNISH SUITABLE CARS FOB CARRYING POTATOES.
Complaint was made to the Board regarding the alleged defects in the type of
heated car used in the movement of potatoes from New Brunswick to Ontario and
Quebec points. While it was set out in the application that the only suitable car for
the shipment of potatoes during the winter season would be a heater car similar
to the Eastman heater car, the matter, as it developed at the hearing, turned upon
the question of improvements which it was considered should be made in the cars of the
79,0<JO series, used in this traffic. The Eastman car is used in shipments between
United States poiiits and also in shipments between New Brunswick points and United
States points, but was not available for movements wholly within Canada. The
United States initial points of shipment especially referred to as using the Eastman
car were points in Maine adjacent to the potato producing sections of New Ikuiiswick.
The Interstate Commerce Conmiission, in Boston Potato Ecceivers' Association
V. Bangor and Aroostook Ed. Co. et al, 25 I.C.C., ISO, gives a description relating
to the movement from Aroostook county, Maine. From the same case it appears that
the Eastman heater car charge for the service varied from $14 to $25 per car.
It further appeared that jwtatocs are shipped from New Brunswick points to
other Canadian points in lined bo.\ cars of the 79,000 series of Canadimi Pacific cars.
' It was also set out that in various cases box cars have been lined by shippers at their
own expen.se, and that as the railway does not guarantee the return of the cars so lined
the shipcrs have been subjected to considerable expense; that the lining by shippers
is done where lined box cars are not immediately available. It also appeared that
shippers supply stoves and fuel for the heating nn<l send men forward in charge of the
cars. It was further stated that the lined cars have proved unsatisfactory, and that
losses were incurred and damages su8taine<l whicli had not been paid by the railway
company. It further appeared that the main matter to be considered was frost damage.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, November C, 1917, concurred in
bv Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, that the equipment of cars is a matter con-

cerned with operating conditions and operating efficiency, and that the matter having
been carefully considered by the Board's officials, the Board was not justified in making
such an experimental Order as that asked for, there being no assurance that it would,
in realty, effect an improvement. Held, further, that this is without prejudice to any
application that may be launched in the event of the improvements made not
adequately taking care of the situation, and that the Board would also from time
to time check up the operating efficiency of the equipment alloted to this traffic. 2Jt

After hearing the parties at a sittings held in Calgary, a personal inspection of
the crossing for which the municipality applied was made by the Commissioners.
The railwaj' company suggested the diversion of the highway southerly parallel with
the company's tracks, and it appeared that the arrangement would eliminate the
crossing of two sidings, but that there would be still two main line tracks to be crossed.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, November 12, 1917,
concurred in by Commissioner SIcLean, that the application should be granted, and
that the crossing should be made on the line of the highway.

lie VIRDEN SUBWAY UNDER CAN.«)IAN PACIFIC RAILW'AY.
The Board by an Order, dated November 29, 191G, directed the Canadian Pacific
Railway Company to build a pedestrian subway under its tracks in the town of Virden,
Man. It was further provided in the Order that should an extension of the subway
in the future be necessary the cost of such extension should be borne equally by the
parties.
Before commencing the construction of the subway, the railway company, in order
to insure the payment of one-half the cost by the municipality, asked that a certain
amount of cash be deposited in a bank to the credit of the Board as security. Although
the railway company had at first wanted a larger amount, it was subsequently arranged
that the town were to put up a bond of $5,000 as security for its contribution towards
the subway.
The railway company submitted that the total cost of the subway would be in
excess of $10,000 and asked for an increase in the amount of the security given. It
further appeared that the work was under way but the subway was not yet completed.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, November 16, 1917',
concurred in by Commissioner McLean, that the town of Virden should at once pay to
the railway company the sum of $5,241.22, wliich was one-half of the total amount spent
on the undertaking.

APPLICATION OF THE TORONTO, HAMILTON AND BUFFALO R^ULWAY COMPANY TO PERMAN-
ENTLY DrVEBT AND CLOSE CERTAIN STREETS L\ THE MUNICIPAL CORPORATION OF THE
TOWNSHIP OF \VELLAND AND TOWNSHIP OF BERTIE, ONT.
It appeared at the hearing that no ohjection was made to the application, and that
there was no question whatever as to the necessitj' in the public interest of the
added railway facilities that the application made possible. It further appeared
that the diversion was also in ease of highway traffic, in that the diagonal crossing
over the main line of the Michigan Central and Grand Trunk Companies by the
Bowen road was done away with, the traffic being diverted into the Thompson Road
subway. The closing of parts of Thompson and Phipp streets, giving these highways
un entrance to the subway on high ground where a proper view could be had, instead
of in a fill, was also in ease of the highway user. It furtlier appeared that the parties
did not agree as to the conditions under wliieh the work should be done.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment, November 29, 1917, con-
curred in by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, Commissioners JIcLean and Boyce,
that the work in question should be authorized and that an Order should go as
applied for, except that no Order could be made on the application of the company
for authority to expropriate certain property, no proper case having been made out
in this regard. Held, further, that there was no reason why the question of the
apportionment of costs ought not to be considered after the work had been done and

that the Devonshire road was junior to the G.T.R. Company but senior to the
P.il.R. ; that the Grand Trunk crossing was protected by gates operated day and
night.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, November 29, 1917,
concurred in by Commissioners McLean and Boyce, that the gates should be operated
from a tower where a better view of the trains could be liad, and that the Pere
Marquette tracks should also be protectetd by gates which could bo operated from
the same tower by the same man who operated the Grand Trunk gates, and the cost

The Baby Welfare Committee of the University Settlement of Montreal pointed

It appeared from the evidence that there were a number of trains runniiiii into
Montreal which carried milk and that some of the runs took over four hours to reach
the city, and that in some cases special cars were used for the carrying of milk; that
no provision was made for the milk being brought to a low temperature before ship-
ment ; that in some cases it was pre-cooled, but in others not.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, December 5. 1017,

COMPLAINT OF CANADIAN LUMBERMEN S ASSOCIATION RE INCREASED CARLOAD MINIMUM
WEWIITS FOR LUMHER, BOTH DOMESTIC AND EXPORT.
Complaint having been made by the Canadian Lumbermen's Association, and
others, against the increased carload minimum weights for lumber, both domestic
and export, to take effect on varying dates since April 22, 1917, the matter was set
down for hearing and was heard at a sittings of the Board in Ottawa July 17, 1917.
It. appeared that exception was taken by shippers and their representatives t-o the
increases in so far as lumber loaded in box cars was concerned. It was also noted
that the difficulties in the way of obtaining a uniform loading were recognized: also
that the weight that could be loaded into a particular car varied with the density,
seasoning and dimensions.
The evidence as set out in the oral testimony and in the exhibits filed, sliowed that
in general lumber loads heavier than the old minimum and frequently hoavior than
the new; that there were also many instances where the load was lower than the tariff
weights.
The railway companies advocated the proposed increases with a view to obtaining
heavier and more efficient loading, and with the existing situation in regard to rolling
stock, it was in the shippers' interest to have as efficient loading as possible, and this
was not contested by the shippers at the hearing. What was involved was, therefore,
what, considering all the circumstances, was reasonably heavy loading.
Held, Commissioner !^^cLean in his judgment, December 5, 1917, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, Assistant Cliicf Commissioner Scott and Com-
missioner Goodeve, that the chocks of actual loadings made by the Board's officials
were rea.sonnble, and that the Board would accordingly order their adoption.

COMPLAINT OF THE NORTHERN PULP COMPANY (ONTARIO GOVERNMENT) CAMPBELLFORD, ONT.,
PER HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER' COMMISSION, TO CANADIAN NORTHERN RAILWAY FREIGHT
TARIFF SUPPLEMENT NO. 20 TO C.R.C. NO. E-860, INCREASING FREIGHT RATES ON PULP-
WOOD.
This was a complaint of the Northern Pulp Company of Campbellford, Ont.,
through the Hydro Electric Power Commission, against the Canadian Northern Rail-
way Freight Tariff Supijlement No. 20 to C.R.C. No. E-S60, increasing the freight rates
on pulpwood to Campbellford.
It appeared that pulpwood is shipped from points on the Irondale, Bancroft &
Ottawa and the Central Ontario Railways to Campbellford on the Grand Trunk Rail-
way for manufacture and reshipment. The Central Ontario and the Irondale, Ban-
croft & Ottawa Railways are now portions of the Canadian Northern System. The
haul involved is thus a two-line one, and the movement is over the Canadian Northern
to Anson Junction and thence by the Grand Trunk to Campbellford.
It was stated at the hearing that Coe Hill and Maynooth were representative
points of shipment. The distance from Maynooth to Anson Junction is 87 miles,
while from Anson Junction to Campbellford the distance is 11 -2 mile.5, which, for tariff
purposes, may be taken as 12 miles.
The rate for some time, taking Maynooth as a representative shipping point, to
Campbellford has been 4J cents per 100 pounds, this being made up of 3 cents to the
Canadian Northern and IJ cents to the Grand Trunk. Tariffs filed, effective September
1, 1917, proposed to increase the rate in question to 6i cents. This rate is referred to
as typical.
On complaint of the Hydro-Electric Commission of Ontario, the rates in question
were suspeded by Order No. 26476, of August 29, 1917 ; and the matter was set down
for hearing.
Held by Commissioner McLean in his judgment, December 8, 1917, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, Commissioners Goodeve and Boyce, that the C.N.R.
and G.T.R. factors of the through rates compared favourably with the local rates to
and beyond Anson Junction, reductions therefrom having been made on joint move-
ment account; regard being also given to the absence of second haulage of the wood
products in the case of the C.N.R. ; and the through rates not being deemed unreason-
."(ble, the suspension of the joint rates as filed, should be raised.

Re OSIIAWA UAU.WAV COMPANY PASSKNOER SER\aCE.
Application was made to the Board for an Order directing the Oshawa Railway
Company to furnish a pascnger service to and from the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company's station to the business portions of the town of Oshawa, such as they wore
giving to tho Grand Trunk Railway Compnn.v.
It appeared that by apreempnts entered into between the Oshawa Railway Company
and the town of Oshawa, dated 'May ,'), 180.3, and May 17, ISO,*), confirmed by 56 Vic-
toria, chapters 73 and .'56 Victoria, chapter 110, Ontario, the Oshawa Railway is obli-
gated to operate a passenger service connecting with all passenger trains of the Grand
Trunk Railway Company stopping at Oshawa Junction. This, in a general way,
governs tho time-card, there being also intermetliato cars to furnish .service to tho
citizens of Oshawa.
It also appeared that there was access by stairs from tho station to Simeoe street
on whii'h the street car operated; that the Canadian Pacific station was intermediate
to the Grand Trunk station.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
It was submitted by the street railway company that tlie street cars connecting with
the Grand Trunk could also render the Canadian Pacific service; but it was also
admitted that this is conditional on the Grand Trunk trains and the Canadian
Pacific trains being on time.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, December 11, I'JIT, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton and Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, that in
view of the fact that the spread iu the number of passengers carried between 1913 and
1916 was only 41, that there was nothing before the Board which justified it in con-
cluding that the additional service would recoup the special costs yicidental to the
granting of the application, and that the Board, therefore, would not be justified in
jnaking the Order asked for.

In approving the route on a highway of the Bell Telephone Company, the juris-
diction of the Board is confined to fixing such terms, conditions or limitations as refer
to the lines, wires or poles within the municipality. The Board has no jurisdiction
to require, as a condition, the payment of any monej' or the granting of free tele-
phones to the municipality.
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of the Assistant Chief Commissioner,

Re LAKE AND KAIL KATES, TORONTO TO WESTERN POINTS VIA CAN.U)LAN NORTHERN RAILWAY.
The Board by an Order, dated April 12, 1917, required the Canadian N'orthern
Railway Company to publish and file forthwith a tariff showing rates from Toronto by
lake and rail, to points west of the head of the lakes, which should not exceed rates
from points on the Canadian Northern east of Toronto to some destinations via rail
to Toronto, and lake .and rail to destination.
At that time the Canadian Northern Steamship Company (a company controlled
by stock ownership by the Canadian Northern Railway Company) owTied a number of
vessels known as the Ames, Pellatt, Plummer, Napleton. Beaverton, and Saskatoon.
These vessels were chartered to the Canada Steamship Lines and operated by that
company with boats owned by that company in conjunction with the Canadian North-
ern Railway Company.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, December 12, 1917,
concurred in by Commissioner McLean, that as the Canadian Northern Steamships
now owned no vessels on the lake route from Toronto to Port Arthur, and the Canadian
Northern Railway Company does not " own, charter, use, etc.", any vessell on this
route, within the provisions of subsection 3 of section 333, that the provisions of the
" long and short haul clause " do not apply and that the Board's Order made herein
should be repealed.
Re .APPLICATION OF TOWN OF DLNNVILLE TO OPEN HELENA, CENTRE AM) OTIIKR STREETS
ACROSS THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY.
It appeared from the evidence that when the Grand Trunk Railway Company's
application for leave to double track its railway over a number of streets in the town
of Dunville was heard by the Board, the town of Dunville urged that the
street crossings now applied for should be opened as a condition to the Grand
Trunk Railway Company's application being granted. The company's applic-
ation was granted, but the question of opening certain streets in the town
20c— 5

of Dunnville was permitted to remain in abeyance pending negotiations between
the parties. The parties, however, being unable to agree as to what streets should be
opened, the matter was again brought before the Board for adjudication, and the
Board directed that an Order should go for the opening of Centre and Helena streets
at the expense of the municipality. Judgment of Assistant Chief Commissioner
Scott, dated December 12, 1917, concurred in by Commissioner Goodeve.
APPLICATION" OF THE OOBPORATIOX OF THE CITV OF HAMILTON, FOR AN ORDER OR DIRECTION
ADOPTING THE RECOMMENDATIONS CONTAINED IN THE REPORT OF MESSRS. W. F. TTE
AND N. CAUCHON, CONSULTING ENGINEERS, DATED JULY 3, 1917.
The Board, on September 14, 1917, received a letter from the city clerk of
Hamilton, Ont., enclosing an extract from the report of the works committee of that
city, adopted by tne council of the corporation of the city of Hamilton, on September
11, 1917, and also the report of Messrs. Tye and Caurhnn. The c^xtract ciiclosc<i reads
as follows : —
" That the report of W. F. Tye and N. Cauehon, on the railway situation
of Hamilton, Ont., as embodied in proposal ' C ' be approved, and that the same
be sent on to the Board of Railway Commissioners for Canada as representing
the views of the city of Hamilton on the railway situation in this city and that
the Board be petitioned to permit no new railway entrances into Ilnniiltnn and
no new extensions, additions, or changes in existing railway works in Hamilton,
or its vicinity, unless same are in accordance with said proposal, and to so
notify the railway companies concerned, and that for the purpose of rielieving
congestion and freight traffic through the city, the railways be asked to adopt
the measures proposed."
A further communication was received on Oftober 20, 1917, from the city clerk,
who forwarded a copy of the following extract from the report of the board of control,
adopted by the city council at its meeting on the 17th of that month, as follows: —
" That application be made to the Board of Railway Commissioners for
Canada, requesting the Board: —
" (a) to a<lopt the recommendations contained in the report of ifessrs. W.
F. Tye and I^. Cauehon, consulting engineers, dated the 3rd day of July, 1917,
upon the railway situation in Hamilton; and
" (h) to refuse to grant permission to any railway company for the con-
struction or maintenance of any work that would be nt variance or interfere
with the carr>-ing out of the recommendations or provisions contained in the
said report."
The application was heard in Hamilton on October 22, last, with an application
of the Tor'nito. Hamilton and Buffalo Railway Company, when judgment was reserved;
and a formal application has been since filed by Mr. Waddol, as follows: —
" The corporation of the city of Hamilton, hereby applies to the Board for
an Order or direction adopting the recommendations contained in the report of
Messrs. W. F. Tye and N. Cauehon, consulting engineers, dated the 8rd day
of July. 1917, upon the railway situation in Hamilton, a copy of which is on
file with the Board, and refusing to grant permission to any railway company
for the construction or maintenanco of any work that wotild be at variance or
interfere with the carrying out of the said recommendations or provisions
^ntainod in the said report."
" This application is, in addition, supplementary to the application of the
corporation of tlic city of Hamilton. File No. 28179.
IlEPORT OF TUE COilMISSIOXERS 67
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20o
Under File Xo. 28230, the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo Railway Company made
its application for the Board's Order authorizing the taking by the applicant company
without the consent of the owners of, inter alia, the lands in the application described,
and in the interest of all parties claiming any right or title thereto or therein.
The application shows that the purposes for which the lands are required are: —
" To provide more ample space than the railway company possesses for the
traffic of its railway, for the construction of additional railway tracks for yard
purposes, for the proper and efficient handling of coal, coke, and general
merchandise, to prevent trattic congestion and to secure the efficient construction,
maintenance, and operation of the railway of the applicant company."
The lands covered by the application belong to the city of Hamilton. They may
be generally described as a strip of undeveloped property running from Sherman street,
on the west, to Gage street, on the east, lying immediately south of the applicant
railway company's property, and with a width of 120 feet.
The Tye-Cauchon report contains three proposals : —
Proposal " A " deals with " Entrance of New Lines Only."
Proposal "B" is headed "Entrance of New Lines and Elimination of present
tracks on Ferguson Avenue."
These tracks belonging to the Grand Trunk, and the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo
Railway is not interested in them.
Proposal " C " not only deals with the " Entrance of New Line," but also with
" The Concentration on one right of way through the city of All Lines Existing or to
be built."
As the report shows, the adoption of this proposal requires the elimination of: —
" All Toronto. Hamilton & Buffalo Railway main lines, yards, and spurs
from a point near Red Hill Creek between Stoney Creek and Bartonville, the wye
at Dundurn street, west of the Hunter Street tunnel, together with the greater
part of the Gage avenue cross town line."
The report further reads : —
" The Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway Company should build a new
line from a point on its main line near Red Hill Creek between Stoney Creqjk
and Bartonville to a point on the main line of the Grand Trunk near Parkdale
avenue, and to a point on the Burlington Beach line near the southern end of
the beach."
In short, the adoption of the report involves the removal of the companies' railways
from their present location, the elimination of the company's station, and the adop-
tion of a right of way through Hamilton for all railways, the existing right of way
of the Grand Trunk being in the main used for such purposes.
The main object of the application is entirely similar to the application made by
the city, under file No. 23009 — the application in that case being for an Order : —
" Compelling the Toronto, Hamilton & Buffalo Railway Company to abon-
don its entrance into the city of Hamilton via Hunter street, and adopt, in
conjunction with the Grand Trunk Railway system, and the Canadian Northern
Ontario Railway Company, in the city of Hamilton, a common location in the
north end of the city; and that the portion of the company's railway in the said
city, coloured yellow on a plan hereunto annexed, be permanently diverted to
the said common entrance and location, and directing the company to construct
its tracks on the new route shown on the said plan as such common entrance for
all railways entering the city of Hamilton."

The Board in considering tolls to be authorized declined to give effect to an agree-
ment to limit tolls made between a railway company and a province and confirmed by
provincial legislation, where the company had afterwards passed under Dominion
jurisdiction, and the agreement if observed would either have prevented an increase
of tolls necessary in the public interest, or resulted in discriminatory lower tolls
in that province as compared with other provinces with similar conditions.

so that the railway cannot be properly maintained and operated. In the public interest,
when tolls reserved by contract prove unreasonably low in the face of changed con-
ditions and increased costs, the tolls umst be made reasonable notwithstanding the
contract.

Holding that under 60-61 Victoria, ch. 5, it could not increase rates beyond the
maximum rates thereby fixed on lines of the C.P.Il. Co. in operation when that Act
was passed, the Board also hcW that to prevent discrimination the same maximum

similar rates must be applied to other railways in the territory affected.

The Board having regard to increased cost of maintenance and operation and
finding that tolls theretofore charged had been unremunerative and insufficient to
ensure a proper service, authorized the railway companies concerned to submit new
standard freight and passenger tariffs jiroviding for a general increase of maximum
mileage tolls on a percentage basis, subject to the Crow's Nest Pass agreement and
statute (60-61 Victoria, ch. 5), and to certain provisions and exceptions set out in the
judgment of the Board.
" A general application for an increase in passenger and freight tolls -throughout
Canada on the ground of the increase in operating expenses, owing largely to war con-
ditions.
" The application was heard at various times and places.
" The facts are fully set out in the reasons for judgment of the Chief Commis-
• sioner, dated December 26, 1917, concurred in by Assistant Chief Commissioner
Scott, Deputy Chief Commissioner Nantel, Commissioner iicLcau and Conunis-sioner
Ooodeve." ^2 Can. Ry. Cas. 40.
The first application filed was that of the Canadian Xorthern Railway Company
on behalf nf itself and all other railwa.v companies operating in Canada. Applications
largely similar in form and all having the same object have since been filed by the
Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo, Grand Trunk, Grand Trunk Pacific, Pere Marquette,
New York Central, iriehigan Central, Canadian Pacific, Kettle Valley, and Great
Northern Railway Companies.
The grounds upon which the applications were made are stated shortly in the
Canadian Northern Railway's application, as follows: —
"Nothing is more essential to the welfare of Canada, whether considered
in its own interests or as a part of the Empire, than that the railways operating
within its borders should tie in a position to respond immediately and effectively
to the fullest demands made upon them, either by the general commoree of the
country or in connection with the defence of the realm.
"Every industry, wliethcr engaged in war preparation or in the manufacture
of commercial cnmmodilios, and every individual in Canada is affected, either
directly or indirectly, by the eflieiency or inefficiency of transportation facilities,
nn<i while at the present time, owing to scarcity of skilled laboiir and other
causes due to tlie war, it may not be jmssible to maint.Tin the transportation ser-
vice in a condition of highest efficiency, it is an imiitriitive duty on the part of
every one. to see that the service is adof|uatel.v sustained.
" The applicants claim that under the present revenues and rates applicable
to their enterprises it is inipossible to ade<|ua1ely sustain their service, to make
* neeflcd betterments, or to meet the enonnotis de<Teasefl in net operating income
nttriliutnlile to the very substantial ini-reased cost of fuel coal, materials,
supplies, er|ui|inient of all kinds and wages entering into the maintenance and
njMTMlion of flicir rnilw.'ivs.
REPORT OF THE COMVISSIONERS 71
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
" The applicants submit herewith a summarized statement showing that
upon the Canadian Northern system alone the increase cost to it of fuel coal,
materials and equipment for the ensuing year as compared with the prices in
the year just closed and prepared on the assumed basis of the same quantity of
business and the same volume of traffic in the two respective years will amount
to over five millions of dollars; that these increases are attributable to the
horizontal advance in the prices of fuel coal and other commodities purchased
by the applicants in the United States and Canada as required, and are also
in part attributable to increased duties, war taxes, and increased transportation
costs of connecting carriers, both lake and rail, on imported materials. Since
the rates of the railway companies are absolutely fixed under the Railway Act,
the applicants are powerless to increase their revenue, tp equalize or even to
approach equalization of this increased cost in fuel coal and other commodities,
and they are faced with a huge deficit in net operating income unless immediate
relief is granted.
" Substantial increases in both freigth and passenger rates are therefore
imperatively neeessai-j', and the emergency requires that the relief granted
should be made in the most expeditious manner and with the least possible delay.
" If advances in rates be proposed and filed with the Board in compliance
with its present rules governing the publication of tariffs, a long delay must
necessarily ensue before such tariff publication can be prepared and made
effective, and for these reasons it is deemed expedient that any advances
permitted should be made by virtue of the War Measures Act and that the
Board upon the passage of any Order in Council as may be recommended by
the Board should permit the publication of flat percentage advances to existing
tariffs by supplementary tariffs filed with the Board and that such supplementary
tariffs should be published and made effective at the earliest possible moment."
The applications as originally filed were unaccompanied by notices to repre-
sentative public bodies. ITnder the direction of the Board, notices were given. The
following public hearings have taken place: —
At Victoria on June 5.
At Vancouver on June 6.
At Toronto on June 12.
At Nelson on June 16.
At Calgary on June 18.
At Edmonton on June 19.
At Montreal and Saskatoon on June 20.
At Regina on June 21.
At Winnipeg on June 2'2.
At Fort William on June 25.
At some points the application has been opposed without qualification; at other
points a qualified opposition has been raised; while at others no objection is taken.
Some of the larger shippers, in views of the admitted increased cost of railway
service, have looked upon the increase as inevitable. The Quaker Oats Company
writes that it is agreeable to such general advances in freight rates, as in the opinion
of the Board, .seem to be justified by conditions now existing.
The secretary of the Hamilton Board of Trade was instructed to advise this Board
that no objection would be taken, provided such advance was shown to be justified.
That Board was at difficulty, however, in understanding why an increase of 10 per cent,
12 per cent, or some other percentage rate was not adopted; and taking the position
that, if the Railway Board determines that the railways are entitled to an advance as
72 RAJLWAT COMitliiSIOyERS FOR CA^'ADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
a temporary measure, the privilege be confined to some specific, definite time. Tho
suggestion made was a year, and at the end of that time the present rates sliould
automatically come into effect.
Mr. Georgeson, who appeared for the Calgary Board of Trade, thus states tho
position of his Board: —
'■ Calgary will not submit any evidence on this question. It agrees that the
cost of operation has increased, particularly in the items of fuel and wages. We
have no means of knowing whether the proposed increase is necessary or not.
The Commission can secure the necessary evidence from the railroads, and we
will leave the matter in your hands for adjustment. We cannot tell whether 5
per cent or 25 per cent is sufficient. We have no means of offering any evidence.
We do agree to tho general principle that there are reasons why there should
be an increase of rates."
The submission of the Toronto Board of Trade is as follows : —
" On behalf of interested members this Board submits that the transport-
ation service generally has been and is at present inadequate, and it is feared
that owing to the financial position of certain companies, lacking materials and
equipment at a greatly increased cost, conditions will not improve unless the
necessary capital is expended to meet these requirements and it is imperative
that immediate action be taken to meet the emergncy.
" To this end I am instructed to state that if the Board of Railway Com-
missioners decides that the exigencies of the situation may best be met, and the
required service provided and maintained, by granting an increase in rates not
exceeding 1.5 per cent, this Board will not offer opposition thereto provided: —
" 1. That coal and coke and such articles or commodities as are of little
value and carry relatively heavy freiglit eliarges, such as crushed stone,
sand, clay, gravel, etc., shall be e.xempt therefrom;
" 2. That tolls covering such regulations and services as switching,
weighing, demurrage, refrigeration, car service, transfer, diversion, recon-
signing, heating, storage, elevation, or other special services, shall be exempt
therefrom ;
" 3. That the advance in rates be distinctly considered as an emergency
measure and that such rates shall remain in effect for a limited period to
be determined by tho Board of Kailway Commissioners."
The Quebec Board of Trade say: —
'■ The demand of the railway companies of Canada to be allowed to increase
their freight and i)asseiigor tariffs by l.") per eeiit, has been referred to the chair-
man of our transportation committee, ifr. Alex. Hardy, for study. In accord-
ance with his report, with which our council concur, and on account of his long
experience in such matters, and in view of the fact tliat the cost of coal and all
operating expen.ses has greatly increa.sod — temporarily wo hope — we would
recommend that tho Railway Commi.ision .«hould allow an increase in freight
and passenger rate.« of 10 per cent for one year from tlw date of its going into
force, upon the following conditions: —
" 1. That the increase shall bo for one year onl.v, and that at the expiration
of that time tho present tariffs shall again eimie into force;
" 2. That so as to indicate its temporary nature and to avoid the necessity
of making new tariffs, the railways shall be authorized for 12 months to add 10
per cent at tho foot of all their freight bills and to colloct 10 per cent extra on
all tickets sold;
REPORT OF THE COMillSSWyEBS 73
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
" 3. We do uot consider that the extra flat rate of 15 cents per ton upon
coal, irrespective of distances, is equitable. The 10 per cent should apply upon
this item also, instead of 15 cents per ton, but not to exceed 15 cents per ton in
any case.
" 4. We would recommend that no increase be allowed on wheat or other
grain to Canadian seaports for export. We consider this imperative, so as to
put a stop to the lamentable diversion of our western grain trade to New York
and other United States seaports, which last year took away two-thirds of om-
western grain trade."
Mr. Fisher, who appeared for the Edmonton Board of Trade, is reported as fol-
lows : —
" The matter was discussed fully by the committee and the council of the
Board and at a very largely attended meeting. This was the result of the gen-
eral meeting, on June 12, and I will submit the resolution to you: —
" Resolved that while some general advance in railway tariffs may prove
necessary as a temporary measure in view of the increased cost of operation,
this Board had been unable to elicit from the Canadian Freight Association
any information as to the relationship between the increase that has taken place
in the cost of operation and the increase in revenue which would result
from the iiroposed general increase in tolls. Consequently it is urged that such
increase should be permitted only after it has been clearly shown to the
satisfaction of the Board of Railway Commissioners that such increase is
necessary to enable the railways to continue to afford satisfactory service to the
public; and that it be clearly understood that any increase permitted is of a
purely temporary character owing to abnormal conditions and not to be
continued in effect after conditions have become normal."
" You will see there, sir, that the Board does not take exception to the
idea of an advance in rates, ,if necessai-y."
"The Chief Commissioner: All you want to see is that it is kept down
to a fair figure."
" Mr. Fisher : Yes, just what is absolutely necessary."
Mr. Tilson, who appeared with Mr. Hutchison for the Montreal Board of Trade,
read into the record the following resolution, as representing the views of that Board:—
" I beg to say that the council of this Board having requested its Trans-
portation Bureau Committee and the several branch associations of the Board
to consider and report regarding the application of the railways to the Board of
Railway Commissioners for a reconunendation to the Governor General in
Council for the passage of an Order in Council under the War Measures Act,
1914, permitting a general advance of 15 per cent on existing tariffs covering
freight and passenger tolls, including a specific advance of 15 cents per ton
on coal, a joint meeting of the Transportation Bureau Committee and repre-
sentatives of the Corn I']xchange Association, the Wholesale Di^goods Associa-
tion, the Metal and Hardware Association, the Lumber Association, the
Produce Merchants Association and the Wholesale Liquor Association was held
this afternoon, when the joint views were embodied in a draft resolution,
which draft was considered by the council of this Board at a special meeting
held this afternoon, when after full consideration of the same, it unanimously
adopted it as follows for communication to your Board : —
" Resolved that the council of the Montreal Board of Trade,
recognizing the need of an improved service and the need of the railway
companies for financial assistance to enable them to provide the necessary
74 KAILWAT COytMlSSlOyER!? FOR CAXADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
equipment and additional facilities as well as to cover the increased cost
of labour, coal and supplies, will not oppose the application of the railway
companies for a general advance on existing tariffs covering freight and
passenger tolls, except with regard to the following conditions^: —
" 1. That the amount of the increase shall he such as the Board of
Railway Commissioners is convinced from evidence submitted is necessary
under present abnormal conditions, but that it shall not ejtcced 15 per cent."
" I may say, Mr. Chairman, that this was merely included in the resolution,
so that it would be in the record."
" 2. That such increases do uot apply to terminal rates, charges and
allowances or absorptions and rates and charges for demurrage, weighing,
switching, car service, transfer, diversion, reconsignmcnt, refrigeration,
icing, storage, elevation, and other transit or special services.
"3. That owing to the general hardship involved by the current high
prices that no advance be made as applying to coal and coke, and that con-
sideration be given as to the wisdom of applying advances to low grade
commodities such as crushed stone, sand, clay and gravel, etc., etc."
" We mean that perhaps the Board might, in taking ditfercnt districts, think
that in some cases on low class commodities 15 per cent would be too high, that
perhaps under some conditions it might be too high to add 15 per cent on
crushed stone, sand and gravel."
" 4. That the advance be distinctly regarded as a measure of emergency,
and therefore that any advance that may be granted shall apply for a period
of one year only, when any extension of that period which might then be
asked for by the railway companies could, if conditions warrant it, be con-
sidered by the Board of Railway Commissioners."
" We thought that if advance was granted by the Board there should be a
fixed limit, not an indefinite limit, and that if conditions were not such that the
roads could operate under the old tolls they could make another application to
the Board at some future time.
'■ I am to add that the Council is of opinion that in the ease of contracts
entered into by shippers prior to the notice of application by the railway com-
panies for an advance in their rates, in event of your Board granting any
advance, consideration should be given to such contracts.
Mr. ITarrington, who appeared for the Retail Coal Dealers, submitted the follow-
ing resolution of his association: —
" We realize the necessity of granting to the applicants at this time a sub-
stantial increase in freight and passenger rates, so that an eflicient service may
be assured by them.
'■ We would, however, respectfully present : —
" (a) That inai^niuch as the applicants have invoked the War Measures Act,
so that an Order in Council may relieve them from tlio regulations prescribed
by the Railway Act, that any increase which your honourable Board may in its
wisdom deem neces.sarj' to the carr.ving on of its enterprises set forth by the
applicants, must be made subject to the duration of such War Measures Act.
" (h) That assurances must be given by the applicants that the revenue to
be derived from such increase in rut«'8 shall be extended by the applicants in the
securing and contributing of adequate services, by the imniofliato aequisition of
the necessary materials, supplies and equipment, and in the imymont of the
necessary wages to competent labour to maintain such equipment in the highest
possible state of otricicncy.
" (c) That both anthracite and bituminous coal be included in the percent-
age advance of l.'i jkt cent, with a maximum charge of l.'i cent.'' per ton, and not
REPORT OF TBE COilillSSIONERS
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
subjected to the specific charge of 15 cents per ton, as asked for by the appli-
cants, and I have added to the above, and subject to a further reduction by
participation by Canadian lines in such increase in coal trafBc as may be author-
ized by the Fnited States Interstate Commerce Commission."
Mr. Sclanders, who appeared for the Saskatoon Board of Trade, stated that the
shippers of Saskatoon recognized that it would be an economic fallacy of the most
dangerous kind to starve our transportation companies in a country where transport-
ation is one of our fundamental economic problems; but, at the same time, he very
reasonably stated that he wanted to be sure that the increase that is demanded is
reasonable.
Mr. Sclanders also pointed out that with his present information he was unable
to reconcile the dra.<!tie demand of 15 per cent increase in freight and passenger rates
in face of the increased net earnings of the railway companies.
Mr. Sclanders finished his argument with the following statement: —
" Therefore, Mr. Chairman, we would be exceedingly glad if the Board
of Railway Commissioners would investigate this situation, and thereafter
inform us what in their judcrment the railway companies ought to get. If an
increase in freight rates and passenger rates is necessary in your judgment
after investigation, and if that increase is necessary for the maintenance of our
railways in a reasonable degree of efficiency, why. I think you will find that the
West will not be behind. We are willing to bear our own share of the burden,
but we do not wish to bear too much. We do not wish to have our fundamental
economic handicap unnecessarily accentuated."
Mr. McDonald, who appeared for the Regina Board of Trade, said : —
"Referring to this application and the table indicating the increase, we
d^ire to emphasize that if the increase applied for by the Railway Freight
Association is necessary in order to meet the increased charges as referred to by
Mr. Hinton, this Board has no objection to the raise. We arc of opinion that
under existing conditions, however, the increase is not justifiable, inasmuch as
there are few organizations that are in a position to profit in consequence of
the war to the extent of the transportation companies. We believe that that
should be borne in mind. We believe, too, that that is borne out by the weekly
and monthly statements of the business by the various railway companies."
'■ The position the Board desires to take is that the Railway Commission
provide itself with figures obtained from absolute audits of receipts and
expenditures of the various railway companies, and if in the opinion of the
Commission the increase is necessary, then we concur."
" The Board further tiikes the position that whatever increase, if any, the
Board may decide upon, it should be based upon conditions prevailing under
the freight schedules as of the 25th April, 1917.
" Of course it is to be understood as a war measure."
"The Chief Co^ijiissioner: Purely temporary?"
" Mr. McDonald: To determine at the expiration of the war. That is about
all we care to say with respect to it."
Mr. Starkey, who appeared for the Nelson Board of Trade, urged that if the
Commission decided that the railway companies were entitled to an advance, it should
not be put upon a 15 per cent basis; that the effect of a flat increase would be to put
Nelson at a still greater disadvantage in its competition with coast cities. Mr. Walsh
representing the Canadian Manufacturers Association, at the hearing at Winnipeg,
read into the record the following resolution : —
" The Canadian Manufacturers' Association will not oppose such increase
in rates, not exceeding 15 per cent, as the Board of Railway Commissioners may
76 RAILWAY COMillSSIOSERS FOR C AX ADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
consider proper, with the exception of tariffs covering coal, coke, milling-in-
transit and similar services, and after giving proper consideration to such
articles as arc of little value and carry very heavy freight charges, like crushed
stone, sand and gravel, on the following conditions: —
" 1. That it be considered strictly as a war measure.
■■ 2. That the Board can satisfy themselves that this increase will enable the
railways to provide an adequate service throughout.
'• 3. That it shall remain in force for a limited period, to be determined by
the Board."
Mr. Ingram representing the Canadian Manufacturers' As-sooiation of Western
Canada, concurred in this resolution and dwelt upon the paramount importance of
e<iuipnient and service.
Mr. Benson, speaking for the Winnipeg Implement Association, said: —
'• We feci that we can safely leave this in the hands of the Board. There
is no question but what the prices of everything have been advanced, and this
is, according to our interpretation, a war measure. We feel that the request
of the railway companies should be granted, provided that your Board feels It
is necessary for them to have 15 per cent. But we are satisfied to leave the
matter of percentage of increase in your hands."
The general effect, of the above is a recognition of a chanfre in conditions brought
about by the war, of increased costs, and the necessity of some action. Other public
bodies opposed the application " in toto " and objected to any relief being accorded to
the railways. The Board of Trade of Duncan, B.C.. passed the following resolution: —
"Resolved that this Board of Trade protest against any increase in freight
rates west of the Great Lakes, inasmuch as the last year was the record of any
year for Canadian railways, and the present high freights form a serious bar
to the economic development of the West."
The Rovclstoke Board of Trade expressed themselves as opposed to any advance
being allowed, either directly or indirectly, claiming that the statements of earnings
do not warrant any increases whatever.
The Vancouver Board of Trade was represented at the sittings, by Mr. Shallcross,
who submitted, among other matters, the following resolution: —
" That the Committee is opposed to the application of the railway com-
panies for an increase of 15 per cent on freight and passenger rates.
" In support of their protest the committee submits the following, and urges
your earnest consideration thereof: —
"The committee assumes that the main justification for an application to
increase rates at this time would be because of a reduction in the net revenues
or an increase in the operating ratio sufficient to gravely threaten the financial
standing of the railways.
" From the Government blue books, the committee obtained the following
figures: —

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
''From the foregoing it will be seen that for the four years 1913 to 1916,
inclusive, the gross and net earnings show a marked increase, whilst the
operating ratio show-s a decrease of 2-90 per cent in 1916 compared with the
four years' average.
" In the foregoing circumstances the committee had hopes that the railway
companies would consider a reduction both in the passenger and freight rates.
" To a vei-y substantial extent the freight charged the people of Vancouver
by the railways emanates from eastern seaports or adjacent points. An increase
of ii) per cent from these points would probably not be urged by the railway
companies if the people of Vancouver were permitted to make use of the Panama
Canal. As the Board is no doubt aware, this waterway can only be used by the
residents of the Canadian Pacific coast with the consent of the Dominion
Government, by which we mean the appointment of a Canadian customs officer
at New York. That this appointment be made, has been requested by the Board
of Trade on many occasions, and as many times denied, by the Dominion
Government.
"If an increase in the freight rates can be justified by the railways then
we urge that this increase should not he made to apply in the local rates in
British Columbia. The transportation committee would remind the Board
that in its judgment in the Western rate case the Board applied a standard
scale to the Pacific division, approximately 30 per cent higher than that
ajjplied on the Prairie.
" In these circumstances the committee feels that this province is already
carrying more than its share of the load."
Mr. Shallcross also objected to any increase whatever in passenger rates, basing
his objection on the ground that passenger rates in British Columbia were four
cents a mile as compared with three cents a mile east of Calgary.
Specific objections to the increase were also taken at Vancouver on behalf of
the lumber trade. Among other matters it w-as urged fhat if any advance should be
allowed on a percentage basis, present differential existing between the diflFerent
producing centres would be upset; but that if an increase had to be given the
increase should be a flat rather than a percentage increase, the effect of which would
be to exaggerate existing difi'erentials. It was strongly urged for the Coast Mills that
their present relative position with other producing centres be not disturbed. Great
stress was also laid on the fact that much lumber was ordered in advance and accepted
on the basis of the old rate, and that a reasonable time should be allowed the trade
within which to complete existing contracts so accepted.
Mr. Adolnh took a similar ground on behalf of the Interior Mills of British
Columbia, arguing in favour of a flat advance, and that slabs and wood refuse used
for fuel ought to be treated in the same manner as coal.
Mr. Campbell, on behalf of the Fruit Growers, protested strongly against
advances in the Canadian fruit rate on account of no similar advances in American
rates.
At the Toronto sittings special objections were raised by dealers in crushed
stone and sewer pipes, and by canners, fruit growers, and livestock interests. Mr.
White, who appeared for the livestock interests relying on the results obtained from
Canadian Pacific o|)pratioii as an answer to the application.
The api)lication was also opposed at Toronto by the Board of Trade of Kitchener
and the Kitchener ilanufacturers' Association. The position taken by the Associa-
tion, along with the executive of the Board of Trade, was that assistance should come
from the Government in the form of a loan, or something of that nature, rather than
78 RA.lLWAr COilillSSIOyERS FOR CAyADA
9 GEORGE V. A. 1919
a tax on the shipper. Mr. Moody, who appeared on behalf of the Association, stated
that in his belief some of the railway companies required assistance, but insisted that
it should not be given through an advance in rates. The following resolution was put
on the record :-:-
" That in view of the reports of the Commission appointed b.y the Dominion
Government to investigate the railway situation in Canada, and the necessity
pointed out in both the minority and the majority reports, for the Government
of Canada to take over the Canadian Xorthern Railway, the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway and the Grand Trunk Railway: —
" Be it resolved that this Association go on record as against any increase
in freight or passenger rates as asked for by the railways of Canada, at least
mitil the question of Government ownership of railways is finally decided.
'■ Should, however, the Railway Commissioners of Canada decide that an
increase in freight and passenger rates is required to provide equipment for the
railways of Canada in order that proper railway service may bo given to the
Canadian public, and if possible a recurrence of conditions as they existed in
the winter of 1916-1917 may be avoided.
" That the proposed increase in freight and passenger rates of 15 per cent,
or whatever percentage of increase in these rates may be required in the judg-
ment of the Railway Commissioners of Canada, be levied in the form of a
Government tax, to be placed at the disposal of the Railway Commissioners of
Canada, to provide a reserve of railway eciuipment, to be leased by the Railway
Commissioners to the railwa.vs requiring additional equipment."
Mr. Moody also appeared at the sittings in Montreal, wlion he staged: —
" After making my report to the Kitchener ^Manufacturers' Association,
Mr. Chairman, they asked me to return and explain their oppositi6n to the
manner in which this grant is being asked for by the railways.
" The.v do not wish to be misunderstood in the fact that they realize that
the railways must have assistance, but it is the manner in which this money
is to be derived ; that is where they get their objection.
" They claim that the railways are a national interest, and that they must
be maintained. They also feel that while the railways are of national benefit,
the grant or loan or assistance should come from the Dominion of Caiutda at
large, and should be supplied out of the general funds. That would eliminate a
whole lot of difficulties and details. The Government would be simply assisting
the railwa.vs to the extent they are asking, and those tliat do not require it
would not need to be assisted.
'' I made my report to the ejtecutive as complete as any one could be
expected to do, from the applications that were set forth at Toronto.
" What I understand is tliat there are two of these railways badly in need of
assistance, and that it should come immediately.
" If these two railways could be assisted out of the general funds, we as
manufacturers would not be saddled with what you might call a <louhled up
percentage
" The only thing we are looking for is that these railways will
be nationalized probably before the time expires during which these people are
asking for this advance rate."
Mr. Wuldron appeared at the Toronto sittings on behalf of the United Farmers
of Ontario, when he stated that it was perfectly clear that where railway freight
rates are regulated rates must be permitted tn rise according as commodities and
labour rise in value. TTe Btate<l that his clients rcganled with great apprehension the
REPORT OF TEE COMMISSIOA'ERS 79
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
presentation of the demand in the manner in which it was presented that day. In
short, Mr. W'aldrou challenged the right of the Board to make any recommendation
whatever under the War Pleasures Act, and that the present application was not such
as was contemplated by Parliament when passing that statute. He also claimed that
the additional rates would add the sum of $39,000,000 a year to the freight charges
collected by the railways, and that probably of that sum more than eighteen and one-
half million dollars would accrue to the benefit of the Canadian Pacific Railway,
$5,321,000 to the Canadian Northern, and $5,873,256 to the Grand Trunk Railway,
with the result that, in his view, one system requiring no assistance would, under
the present application, receive $18,500,000 in order that justice might be done the
Canadian Xorthern and the Grand Trunk.
On being asked by the Assistant Chief Commissioner how he would work it out;
whether he would allow the increase to the Grand Trunk and advise the people that
they should ship by the road which has the higher rates Mr. Waldron answered :—
" I do not profess to offer a solution of that great difficulty, Mr. Chairman.
One solution is offered by Sir Henry Drayton and Mr. Acworth, another by Mr.
Smith.
" What you are asked i o do here is to proceed and solve it in another way
which I understand these gentlemen refuse to accept. That is one of the
obstacles and one of the objections which I make to this application."
At Winnipeg, Mr. Martin, who appeared for the Board of Trade, objected entirely
to any increase at all. He dwelt on the bad effect of paralleling, the fact that in many
places railways were altogether too close, and that in other sections there were great
distances without lines. He argued that, as a result the revenues of the companies
were greatly afl'ected, pointing out that with lines constructed only five miles apart or
less, as is the case in a good many places, of necessity there is not the same traffic
offering as would have been the ease had the distance between them been fifteen
or twenty miles. Mr. Martin also dwelt upon the large earnings of ,the Canadian
Pacific. His first suggestion as to adequately dealing with the question was the
adoption of the majority report of the Royal Commission.
Mr. Mylius, who objected, took the position that there was no justification for
any increase, and as a remedy believed that it would pay the Government to take over
the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk Pacific and tear up many hundreds of
miles of the Grand Trunk Pacific rails, and put these rails down in cross-sections to
give lots of feeder for the two then existing lines, the Canadian Northern and the
Canadian Pacific. He also made a special plea for the western shipper.
Mr. Chevrier, who appeared for the Retail Merchants' Association, took the stand
that the Government ought to loan the necessary funds to the railways, arid objected
entirely to any increase in rates.
Mr. McKenzie, who appeared with Mr. Heuders for the Grain Growers' Associa-
tion of Manitoba, was alarmed at the depopulation of. the land, which he thought
an increase in the rates would add to. He made an interesting study of Canadian
Pacific figures and successes, dwelt on the hardship to the farmers that any increase
would entail, and thought that the Government should now help the Canadian
Northern and the Grand Trunk Railway Companies, rather than grant any increase.
On the question of the position of the Canadian Pacific Railway, Mr. McKenzie
argued that the company's general balance sheet of December 31, 1916, showed a
total liability of but $602,297,912.75. In his analysis he transfers reserves premiums
on ordinary stock sold, different reserves and appropriations, the net proceeds of lands
and townsites, the surplus revenue from operation, and surplus in other assets, from the
liability to the asset side of the balapce sheet. It is, of course, obvious that thia
transfer is quite correct in at least some of these items.
80 SAILWAT COilMISSIoyERS FOK CAXADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
With these transfers, Mr. McKenzie increased the assets shown in the balance
sheet and amounting to $980,768,543.90. by the sum of $384,488,631.15, making a grand
total of $1,371.2.57,175.0."). In like manner, of course, these deductions from liabilit.v,
were used by Mr. McKenzie in reducing the total liability shown by the company's
balance sheet to the amount above stated.
No answer is made with reference to the large increase of cost and tlie position
of the other lines; but Mr. ifcKenzic's position may shortly be, stated as follows:
Mere increases in cost, never mind how great, cannot be looked upon as conclusive
or necessitating a rate increase. The increase in gross must also be considered. If the
increases in gross revenue are sufficient to absorb tlie increased cost, so as to still
afford the company a reasonable return on its capital and for the service rendered, the
increases having been taken \ip by the increased business the public afforded the
companj', no increases whatever should be made; that an increased rate, to be effective,
must be common to all companies; and that the effect of the increase asked would
be to give the Canadian Pacific Railway Conijian.v some $18,000,000 of added revenue,
which it does not require, while the other applicants, that need assistance, would get
a little better than $5,000,000 a piece.
Mr. Pitblado appeared for the Government of tlie province. He opposed the
application with regard to the financiaL position of the Canadian Pacific, and endorsed
Mr. McKonzie's argument in this connection.
Mr. Pitblado challenged the juri.*diction of the JBoard to make a recommendation
to the Governor in Council under the War Measures Act. He said: —
" But it is beside .your powers for the railway companies to ask you to
recommend to the Governor in Council what they sliould do under the War
Measures Act, and I submit that the responsibility and power and control
is in the Governor in Council, and tliat the railway comi>anies have no right
to ask you to do anything."
ifr. Pitblado also submitted that the railways in tlicir application were attempting
to over-ride agreements. The first agreement referred to was the Crow's Nest Pass
agreement made by the Canadian Pacific with the Dominion government. Tlic agree-
ment is printed in the Dominion Acts 00-61 Victoria, Chapter 5. This agreement
makes provisions that in consideration of $11,000 a mile paid to the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company, not exceeding in the wliole $3,637,000, the rates should be
reduced on a large number of commodities.
The other agreement referred to by Mr. Pitblado is known as the Canadian
Northern Railway's agreement with the Manitoba (Jovernment, of 1901, and printed
in chapter 39 of the ilanitoba Statutes of that year. Under that agreement, in con-
sideration of guaranteeing the railway company's bonds and giving tiiem a lease of
the Xortliern Pacific and Manitoba road, a reduced rate schedule was agreed to by the
Canadian Northern.
No anal.vsis was prepared cither by the railway companies or by the contestants,
as showing how the present application would conflict with these agreements.
It is only fair to say that Mj. Pitblado certainly cannot be criticised in this
regard, as he did not have suflifient time at liis disposal to prepare sudi an analysis.
This the Tioard lias lieen ol>lig('d to do, and we finil tliat tlu-rc is no doubt that these
agreements are material and have' to be considered.
Mr. Phippen, who appeared for the Canadian Northern, in answering Mr.
McKenzie, made the statement that if his company liad been assisted in the same way
that the Canadian Pacific liad lieen assisted, it would require no increase in rates
whatever; V>ut insisted that, if the railway situation was taken care of by Government
aid, as 9Uggr»tc<l, that in the place of loan8 to the amount necessary, the railways
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 81
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
ought to get cash gifts from the Government, as beyond all question their operation
was costing them just so much more, and that they were unable to make any proper
or satisfactory return on their activities.
Under such circumstances, under Mr. Phippen's submissions the mere advance of
moneys to meet the necessities of the companies would simply mean a change of
creditors and work no real financial improvement.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company was not represented at this hearing. They
asked, however, for the opportunity to put in a written reply. This reply was filed
with the Board on August 17, 1917, a copy being furnished to Mr. Pitblado. The
material submissions made on behalf of the company are as follows : —
" 1. Extent of aid to the Canadian Pacific."
" The extent of the aid given to the Canadian Pacific has been stated in a
very misleading way both in the Drayton-Acwortli report and by the opposants
to this application, including counsel for the Canadian Northern Railway
Company.
" The Canadian Pacific received as a term of its contract in consi.leration
of work done and obligations to be performed — perpetual obligations of enormous
magnitude — $2.5,000,000 in cash, certain portions of railway constructed by the
Government, and 2.5,000,000 acres of land. The real value of these consider-
ations must be ascertained as of the time of the contract or the completion of
the works, not at a period over thirty years later. The aid is what was given,
not what the company were able, largely through their own efforts, to make it
worth to it. The land in question was valued at ten cents an acre in 1881. The
minimum sale price was fijied by the Government in 1884 at .$1.25 per acre; a
large block of land was offered by the company to the Government in 1885 for
$2 an acre, and in 1886 the Government accepted in full of its claim against
the company land sufficient to cover the amount due at the rate of $1.50 per acre.
The so-called subsidy, which was nothing more nor less than the consideration
for the undertaking of these huge obligations imposed upon the company by
the Crown, was worth at the time of the contract, $2',500,000; in 1884,
$31,250,000; in 188G, .$.37,500,000. It would be almost as logical and correct
to say that the value of the raw product to the producer is identical with the
value of the finished article to the consumer as to contend that the amount
received by the company from land sales in the last thirty odd years plus the
present value of the unsold lands as shown by the company's books represents
what was given by the Crown to the company in 1881.
" Another obviously inaccurate fallacy in the figures employed by counsel
for the province and his associates is that no allowance is made for the enormous
and expensive organization which the cqmpany was compelled to establish and
maintain to sell and colonize its lands. It is inferentially suggested that all
the company did was to wait for the purchasers and that no expense to it was
involved! Ko regard is had for the sums expended by the company in exploiting
Canada and inducing settlers, all of which would require to be deducted from
the proceeds of lands sold and the value of lands remaining unsold.
" 2. The company's reserves.
"What the company has accumulated in reserves is not an element in
determining this application. All its earnings were made from the sale of
transportation at legal rates established and approved by the Board and if,
because of the volume of business transacted and its efficiency in conducting
20c— 6
82 SAILWAY COilillSSIOyERS FOR CAXADA
9 GEORGE V, A. I9l9
its operations, a surplus has been built up, no argument can, it is submitted,
be based upon that fact, especially when all that is asked is that additional
earnings, less than sufficient to meet the additional expenditures may he secured.
If the value of the elements necessary to produce the commodities to be sold
has increased, it could fairly be asked that the sale price of the commodity
be increased proportionately.
"3. The company's earnings have not been excessive.
" The actual cash invesjted in the Canadian Pacific Railway (exclusive
of the cost incurred by the Government in constructing portions built by it) was
on June 30, 191G, $789,115,096, the net earnings from railway operations were
$48,839,101 and the percentage of earnings on cash invested was 6-19. For the
years ending June, 1914, and 191.5, the percentages were 5-39 and 4-23
respectively.
" In other words the company has not always earned bare interest on the
money put into the railway and has never earned enough to be accused of
excessive returns.
" The value of the company's railway enterprise is in excess of $1,000,000,000
and its shareholders have received dividends from railway operations and
special income of 10 per cent per annum or $26,000,000. The return to the
company sliareholders from the use of its facilities by the public is less than
2-6 per cent of the value of the company's undertaking. Can it be suggested
that this is an inordinate or even an adequate return ?
" i. Additional expenses.
" The company closed the year ending 30th June, 1917, with gross earnings
from freight and passenger business of $140,759,980 and net earnings of
$48,157,758.
"The increased expenditure for wages, fuel, etc., for 1917-18 over 1915
as using the same requirements as 1915, though they will be 20 per cent
greater, will be $19,370,922. These figures arc larger tiian tho.se contained in
the schedule attached to the application made in April and are the ascertained
costs due to the increase in the prices of material and labour as follows : —
General purchases $4,869,504 or eCSOi
Fuel purchases 6.f.69.441 or S2-3%
Tie purchases G9:>.63.'; or 17-0%

Labour 6.650,000 or 18'0%
Total increase 119,376.922 or 35"8<?o
"The granting of the eight hour day to practically all employees involves
an enormous and permanent increase in cost of labour.
" The increase.^ applied for will give increased revenues based on freight
and passenger business of the year of 30tli June, 1917, of approximately
$17,500,000. Costs and wages are still climbing rapidly and the company onlj'
asks for sufficient acl^litional revenues to partially offset the increased costs as
now nsfcrtained.
" .). \\ here will the burden fall.
" Mr. Pitblado in his address to the T3oard assumed that any increase of
rate would fall in the main upon the shippers in Western Csinada. Unless the
rates are not now relatively fair (and the Board has drcide<l that they are)
REPORT OF THE COilMISSIOyERB 83

the earninKS in one part of the covmtry, as compared with another, are not a
factor. The facts are 'not, however, as 'Mr. Pitblado assumes. The increase
which is, of course, calculated on the gross operating revenues will fall most
heavily relatively on Eastern Canada.
"The gross operating revenues for the year ending June 30, 1917, were
as follows : —
Operating revenues on lines east $59,459,718

Gross revenue per mile of line in east 12,313

" 6. Necessity for Increases.
" The position of the Canadian'Pacific Kailway is imique. It cannot and
does not contend that the increase is necessary for it to earn its operating
expenses and fixed charges, as do the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk.
Its financing has been such that its fixed charges form a smaller proportion of
its obligations than with other companies. It pays 7 per cent per annum divided
to its shareholders from operating revenues. It is as essential to the credit of
the company and to the credit of Canada that it earns its dividends and reason-
able surpluses as it is that the Canadian Northern and the Grand Trunk should
maintain their fixed charges. It cannot be said that it would be a greater
calamity for Canada if the Canadian Northern Eailway and the Grand Trunk
Eailway should go into the hands of a Eeceiver than it would be if the Canadian
Pacific's financial position should be weakened. Is it not a fact that the
strength and ability and willingness to earn, raise and spend large sums of
money in improved facilities and equipment has had a vital and beneficial
effect on the development of Canada and has contributed more than any other
agency to the transportation necessities of the whole country. Can this con-
dition be met and continued otherwise than by the financial strength and
earnings sufficiently large to ensure a reasonable margin of safety to the investor
and ample surplus for working capital. The demands on the company have
been extraordinary and will no doubt continue to be. In no other way can they
be met and it is submitted with respect that no other condition should be
permitted to arise."
" 7. Increase on future earnings.
"It must not be forgotten that tjie application has only to do with gross
earnings to be secured in the future during the time the increase granted is in
effect. It is obvious to all those familiar with the railway situation that the
earnings cannot be maintained at their present high level and that the
diminishing of the heavy shipments of munitions and general war supplies and
of carriage of soldiers will have a pronounced effect on the railway companies*
earnings during the succeeding year.
" There is, on the other hand, little likelihood of decreases in the cost of
materials sufficient to offset decreased revenue and, in these circumstances, there
is practically no ground for the hope that the increase, if allowed, will amount
to anything like the figures which have been estimated. As evidence that this
is so. it may be of interest to note that the gross earnings of the Canadian
Pacific for the first week of August are over $400,000 short of the earnings for
the same week in 1916."

I, in the first instance, deal with the objeetion taken by both Mr. Pitblado and
Mr. Waldron that it is not within the jurisdiction of the Board to advise the Governor
in Council as to what action the Government ought to take under the War Measures
Act.
Speaking generally, the jurisdiction of the Board is that established by the
Railway Act. The War ilesisures Act certainly does not confer any juri.>diction on the
Board one way or the other. No request has been made to the Board by the Goveruor
in Council to report upon the subject. Under the War Measures Act, —
" The Goveruor in Council shall have power to do and authorize such
acts and things, and to make from time to time such orders and regulations.
as he may by reason of the existence of real or apprehended war, invasion or
insurrection deem uecessary or advisable for the security, defence, peace, order
and welfare of Canada; and for greater certainty, but not so as to restrict the
generality of the foregoing terms, it is hereby declared that the jwwers of the
Goveruor in Council shall extend to all matters coming within the classes
of subjects hereinafter enumerated, that is to say: —
" (d) transportation by land, air, or water and the control of the transport
of persons and things."
5 Geo. Y, Chap. 2, Sec. 6.
As to the great necessity of properly maintaining transportation during a time
of war, there is, of course, no room for argument. Jfy own personal view is that
there is also room for improvement in the companies' present facilities.
The application, however, is an application entirely in ease of the railway com-
panies' finances, and not primarily, if at all, for the purjwse of improving facilities
and service. This was very frankly admitted by ilr. Ilanna, one of the chief witncsse.''
called by the Canadian Northern Railway Company.
In my view, the objection is well taken, and the application i> mif which ought
to be considered by the Board as an application for increased rates under the provisions
of the Railway Act.
I now deal with Mr. Pitblado's argument as the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement and
Statute; and also the Manitoba Agreement.
Under the provisions of flO-Cl Victoria, Chapter t^, the Governor in Council was
authorized to grant to the Canadian Pacific Railway Company a subsidy towards the
construction of the railway from Lethbridge through the Crow's Nest Pass to Nelson,
to the extent of $11,000 per mile, until the sum of $:i,3C0,000 in all had been advanced.
The company has accepted the subsidy; the line has been completed; and the
terms of the Statute have been agreed to.
The Act contains the following provisions: —
" (<f) That a reduction shall be made in the general rates and tolls of the
company as now charged, or as contained in its present freight tariff, wliich-
ever rates are now the lowest, for carloads or otherwise, upon the classes of
merchandise hereinafter mentioned, westbound, from and including Fort William
and all point east of Fort William on the company's railway to all points west of
Fort William on the company's main line or on any line of railway throughout
Canada owned or leased by or operated on account of the company, whether
the shipment is by all rail line cir lake and rail, such reduction to be to the
extent of the following percentage's respectively, naniely : —
"Upon all green and fresh fruits, 33A per cent;
"Coal oil, 20 per cent;
"Cordage and binder twine, 10 per cent;
REPORT OF THE COitMISSIOyERS 85

"Agricultural implemoiits of all kinds, set up or in parts, 10 per cent;

"All kinds of wire, 10 per cent;
"Window glass, 10 per cent;
"Paper for building and roofing purposes, 10 per cent;
"Roofing felt, box and packing, 10 per cent;
" Paints of all kinds and oils, 10 per cent;
"Live stock, 10 per cent;
" Wooden ware, 10 per cent;
" Household furniture, 10 per cent.
" And that no higher rates than such reduced rates or tolls shall be here-
after charged by the company upon any such merchandise carried by the com-
pany between the points aforesaid; such reductions to take effect on or before
the first day of January, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight;
" (e) That there shall be a reduction in the company's present rates and
tolls on grain and flour from all points on its main line, branches, or connections,
west of Fort William to Fort William and Port Arthur and all points east,
of three cents per one hundred pounds, to take effect in the following manner:
One and one-half cents per one hundred pounds on or before the first day of
September, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-eight, and an additional
one and one-half cents per one hiuidred pounds on or before the first day
of September, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine; and that no higher
rates than such reduced rates or tolls shall be charged after the dates mentioned
on such merchandise from the points aforesaid."

It will be observed that the present rates to Regina and Lethbridge are merely the
rates reserved by the contract, and that in only two instances, the movements to
Edmonton and MacLeod, could any substantial advance be made, having regard to the
terms of the contract.
This situation is not peculiar to the apple traffic. The rates applicable to the

While the present schedule in each instance is below the contract price, the
result again shows that in most cases no such increase as that asked could be made.
There is no doubt that there is authority for the proposition that the passage of
an Act giving a new Commission, by it formed, full jurisdiction to fix just and
reasonable freight ^nd passenger rates and fares, automatically repealed previous
maximum rate laws — the basis supporting such proposition, of course, being that
the object of the legislature is plainly declared, namely, the fixing of just and reason-
able freight and i)assenger rates, having proper. regard, not only to the question of
the reasonableness and fairness of the rate itself, but also to the principle of equality
as between different districts and shippers, which would be defeated b.v the continuance
of Special Acts giving special rights to any particular district of the country, or
creating rates which by change of circumstances and conditions could not be described
as just or reasonable.
I am of the opinion, however, that this principle cannot be applied in the present
instance.
Section 3 of the Railway Act specifically provides that, unless expressly provided
in the Act to the contrary, wherever the provisions of the Railway Act, and of any
Special Act pas.sed by the Parliament of Canada, relate to the same subject matter,
the provisions of the Si)ecial Act shall, in so far as it is necessary to give effect
to such Special Act, be taken to over-ride the provisions of the Railway Act.
A specific reduction worked by the Special Act, therefore, limits the general
jurisdiction of the Board, having regard to rates. In my view, no matter how great
the shortage may be in railway revenue, the Board cannot advance these Canadian
Pacific rates, beyond the reduction secured under the Special Act.
Owing to the manner in which our railways are constructed and the territories
occupied by them, no useful object whatever would be served by increasing the rates
on other lines, as it would simply mean that they would be carrying no busino'ss at
the higher rate when the lower was available to the public on the Canadian Pacific rails.
The situation in connection with the Manitoba Agreement is entirely ditTcrcnt.
There, the Act is of a provincial legislature, which does not bind the Board.
In the first instance, the Canadian Northern is a Dominion corporation. In the
second instance, assuming that any of the component railways, which arc now
combined in the Canadian Northern system, were provincial undertakings, the rule
obtaining as to Special Acts passed by the Dominion Parliament, is entirely reversed
in the case of all Acts of Provincial Legislatures.
Section 6 of the Railway Act provides that where any railway, the construction
or operation of which is authnri7.ed by a Special Act passed by the legislature of any
Iirovincc, is declare<l l)y the Parliament of Canada to be a work for the general
advantage of Cnnailii. the Railway A<t shall apply to sii<-h rnihvny and to the comiiany
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 87
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
constructing or operating the same, to the exclusion of such of the provisions of the
Special Act as are inconsistent with the Railway Act.
The situation was recognized by the province and the railway company, who made
a joint application to Parliament for an authorizing and confirming Statute by the
Dominion.
Their petition was acted upon; and, in 1901, Statute 1, Edward VII, Chapter 53,
was enacted by the Parliament of Canada. Section 3 in part reads : —
" 3. Nothing in this Act nor in the indentures contained in the schedules
hereto, or done in pursuance of this Act or of the said indentures shall, —
(a) divest or limit, temporarily or otherwise, the rights or powers (under
existing or future legislation of the Parliament of Canada) of the Governor in
Council or of the Railway Committee of the Privy Council, or of any com-
mission or other authority, respecting any matter or thing, obligation or duty."
The result is that, not only was the jurisdiction of Parliament espressely reserved,
but the parties accepted the private or special Act which specifically reserved it.
The effect of the argument, apart altogether from, statutory limitations of the
Board, must be considered.
The late Chief Commissioner Mabee in his judgment in the Crow's Nest Pass Coal
Company vs. Canadian Pacific Railway Company, 8 C.R.C. 33, at page 41, says : —
" The Railway Act requires that under substantially similar conditions
the tolls charged shall be equal to all persons, and at the same rate, whether by
weight, mileage or otherwise, and any reduction or advance either directly or
indirectly is expressely prohibited. No undue or unreasonable preference or
advantage can be permitted to any person or company. The object of the
legislation is to place every one upon terms of absolute equality, and if agree-
ments were permitted to be entered into for reduction in tolls or for other
preferential treatment, the door would be opened wide for the defeat of the Act,
and the Board would be called upon to struggle with all sorts of conditions,
opinions, and complications in the determination of such cases."
" It will not be understood that I am expressing the opinion that such
was the object of the present agreement, the conditions existing when the same
was entered into were such that the contrary opinion might be arrived at."
The judgment of the Assistant Chief Commissioner in Regina Board of Trade vs.
Canadian Pacific and Canadian Northern Railway Companies, 11 C.R.C. 380 at page
391, reads :—
" It could not surely have been the intention of Parliament in passing
section 315 of the Railway Act to permit railway companies to create different
circumstances and conditions by entering into a contract with some one and so
defeat the intentions of the section. The ' circumstances and conditions '
which if not substantially similar may justify different treatment to different
points, I think must be traffic circumstances or traffic conditions; not circum-
stances and conditions which may be artificially created by contract."
When the Regina Rate Case was decided railway revenues were buoyant and
expenses normal. The Canadian Northern Manitoba Agreement was there considered.
The application of the Regina Board of Trade was based on discrimination. To meet
that issue, the Railway Companies relied on the agreement. The Assistant Chief
Commissioner held that discrimination could not be excused under any agreement, and
ordered the removal of discrimination by the extension of the Manitoba basis to
adjoining Prairie territory. •
88 RAIUWIY COMMLS-SIUXERS Full t.l.Y.lD.1
9 GEOSGE V, A. 1919
An agreement, however, of course, ought not to be lightly regarded by the Board.
In cases where conditions are similar rate agreements afford excellent evidence of what
the railway considers a fair rate. Apart from a change in conditions, an agrreement
which did not involve discrimination might well be looked upon as conclusive, unless
it could be shown that traffic could not continue to be carried under it, and tliat in
the public interest a higher rate which would result in proper public service ought to
be ordered. The burden of Canadian Northern obligations which under the agree-
ment were guaranteed by ifanitoba and which amounted to a sum exceeding $2.5,000,000
have been assumed by the country as a whole.
The operating and traffic conditions maintaing in Manitoba are very similar
to these obtaining in Saskatchewan and Alberta. Their similarity was recognized in
the Regina Rate Ca.se. and the principle was carried to its legitimate conclusion
under the Western Rates Case, with the result that the three provinces, from the
effective date of the latter case, have had a tariff basis of similar application to each
province and without discrimination.
To now give effect to the Canadian Northern ^Manitoba agreement and confine
its operation to Manitoba, would again restore the discrimination which had been
found to exist as against Saskatchewan and Alberta.
As a result, in my opinion, the ^lanitoba agreement docs not as a matter of law
conclude the issue. On the other hand a ver.v strong case must of necessity bo made
out before rates are permitted higher than those reserved by the agreement.
Although admitting that the cost of railway operation is greatly in excess of
that obtaining when existing tariffs became effective, submissions are made that never-
theless this application should be dismissed; but that the necessary relief should be
afforded for the necessities of the railways by direct Government financial assistance,
either by way of loans or absolute gifts. It again has been urged that, instead of
increasing rates, the necessitous railways should be taken over by the country and the
report of the Royal Commission to in<iuire into railways adopted.
Again, it is also urged that, as the country is now acquiring the Canadian North-
ern and has advanced a further sum of $7,500,000 to the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway
Company in ease of the financial obligation of that company and its promoter and
guarantor, the Grand Trunk Railway Company, no further relief ought now to be
afforded any' of these companies by a rate advance.
It is, of course, quite true that the covnitrj' will acquire the Canadian Northern,
and also quite true that the advance made to the Grand Trunk Paeific is much in
ease of the necessities, not only of that company, but also of the parent company, the
Grand Trunk. The rightij of the companies under the Railway Act ns well as the duty
of the Board, are not affected by these considerations.
The principle relied on by Mr. Pitblado and Mr. Waldon in tlieir objections to
the Board taking action under " The War Measures Act " is applicable.
The whole tariff situation and railway subject is surrounded with much difficulty,
but some things are at least clear. Among them, it is clcarl.v the duty of the Board
to allow fair and just rates to carriers for the service they perfom. It is also dear
that the Board can neither order nor enforce rates which are unremuncrative to the
carriers without infringing the principle of the Railway Act by denying carriers a
fair anrl just rate. Xo enforced unremuncrative rate can be said to be just to the
carriers.
The question is one directly affecting shippers and consignees on the one hand,
and carriers on the other; but, in arriving at a solution of what a fair rate for the
transportation of coal by the Grand Trunk front the frontier to Toronto would be, the
fact that the country had relieved tbe (Jrand Trunk of a present liability by making
a cash advance to the Grand Trunk Pacific, could hardly be a con8i<leration or a
reason why a rate otherwise fair and just ought not to bo adopted.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 89
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20o
It is equally clear that any losses the Grand Trunk may have made in the Grand
Trunk Pacific can afford no ground for increasing the rate, which, apart from such
consideration, was fair and reasonable.
There is no reason why the business of the Canadian Northern should be conducted
at a loss, simply because the country owns it. Under the Railway Act, the Board
certainly cannot deny the people as a whole a rate which would be fair to individuals
when owning the transportation system. It appears that a national railway, just as
much as any other railway, ought to be operated so as to cover the cost. The
interest cost on the Canadian Xorthern securities certainly cannot be looked upon
as negligible and a matter of no moment to the country.
Whether there be room for issue on this score or not, at anw rate under the
Railway Act the Board cannot consider rates on the Canadian Northern on a
different basis to those on other roads, simply because the country will in future own
the stock.
In like manner, it is not for the Board to determine whether any set of railways
ought to be consolidated or not, even if, in the opinion of the Board, such a con-
solidation might justify a lower rate schedule. The Board has no legislative functions;
but, on the other hand, it is a statutory body with a statutory jurisdiction. The
incorporation of railway companies and the determination of their routes — the question
of private or public ownership of railways, are matters entirely for Parliament.
The policy recommended by the Commission of Inquiry can neither be adopted
nor rejected by the Board. It is n matter entirely without our jurisdiction and cannot
be considered in this application.
Apart altogether from railway necessities, objections are made to any raise on
the ground that the general business and financial condition of the country is such that
any added rates would create a burden entirely undue, if not a costly burden on the
people.
This objection, while not confined to Winnipeg, was taken the most strongly by
Mr. McKenzie at that point, who specially referred to land depopulation and the lack
of real prosperity. ~
Undoubtedly the higher the rate the greater the cost to the country; but, it
would appear, that the country as a whole could much better afford to pay increased
rates than run the risk of transportation failure or embarrassment.
The automobile industry is a pretty fair index of prosperity. The Public Service
Monthly, published by the Department of Agi-iculture of Saskatchewan, in its issue
of August last says:—
"The records of the Department of the Provincial Secretary go to show
that the motor business of the Province of Saskatchewan is developing by leaps
and bounds. A large increase in tlie number of cars licensed was foretold in the
Public Service Monthly some time ago, but even those who were in the best
position to know never anticipated such a phenomenal rate of increase as has
been maintained during the first six months of 1917. At the end of June the
number of licenses was 26,640, as compared with 1.3,039 for the same period in
1916, or an increase of more than 100 per cent. The figures for July are not
yet complete, but the highest numlicr at the time of writing is 28,510, and the
same relative rate of increase over 1916 is being maintained. The number
plates are being issued this year in numerical order, so that the highest
numbered plate means also the number of licenses issued.
90 RAJLWA.T COilMISSlOXERS FOR CANADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
" The following are the nximber of licenses issued during the first six
months of the two years: —

June 1,612 4,0S7
" In the month of May as many as 347 number plates were issued every
working day. The majority of tliese are handled at the office, but a large
proportion is daily despatched by mail.
" In all other branches of the motor business similar increases are to be
seen. The number of automobile liveries is now 1.020, while there are 462
dealers, and in both cases these figures are groafly in excess of former years.
There are also many more motor bicycles in use, the number of licenses at the
end of July being 424, of which 276 are new and the rest renewals."
The position is very similar in the other two provinces in which Mr. lIcKenzie
was particularly interested, namely, Manitoba and Alberta. This condition in an
agricultural community can only be expected as a result of the high prices obtaining
for grain, live stock, and other farm produce.
Some similar objection has been made in the East. There, again, the manufacture
of munitions has in part at any rate duplicated the prosperity of the Prairie Provinces.
The figures that have been presented in opposition to the application, correctly
taken as they have been from the different companies' annual reports and from Govern-
ment statistics, are shown by the recent cost developments to be of little value in
determining the position of the companies and the burden of to-day.
The added costs are largely the outcome of advances made in the spring and
summer of this year. More than tliat, they do not seem to be final, but rather appear
to be growing.
The last annual reports do not, therefore, mirror these increases at all, nor
are they of the slightest help in arriving at a proper conclusion on this application. The
fact is that abnormal increases in costs have developed since the last annual reports
were made.
The point taken by Mr. McKenzie that costs of themselves were not the sole
factor, but that increased gross to the companies might well offset tlie effect of the
advances, and that this increased gross must be considered as well as the cost
advances.
As a matter of fact, the increased costs have not been met by the increased gross,
as the more recent monthly reports show.
The Canadian Northern figures for the montlis of Jiily, August, and September
of this year and of 191C, arc returned as follows: —
Gross Net Operating
ricvenuc. Expenses. Revenue. Ratio.

These results cannot be disregarded. They show that while the gross revenue of
July had a slight increase, the net revenue decreased $292,523, or 24-43 per cent.

or no less than 4-1-66 per cent. In September, there was again an increase in gross,
the increase amounting to $153,800, but again the expenses increased by $-160,500,
reducing the net return, notwithstanding the greater gross, by the sum of $306,700,
or 41-86 per cent.
The above figures are obtained from the company's monthly statements. The
figures for these three months are taken up in the company's general statement issued
for the quarter ending September 30, 1917. This quarterly statement also includes
the results of the like quarter of the preceding year. The quarterly statement gives
the company's total revenue for these three months as $10,591,807.57 as against
$10,706,995.89, for the same period of the previous year. The result is a comparatively
small decrease of $115,188.33 in gross receipts, which ainounts in percentage to but
a little over 1 per cent of decrease.
The expenses are shown as $8,667,867.95 for the three months of 1917, as against
expenses of $7,704,982.67 for the same period of the year before. The resultant
increase in expenses is $962,885.28, constituting an increase exceeding 12-49 per cent.
The net income for the 1917 period amounts to $1,923,939.62 as against
$3,002,013.22 for the 1916 period. A decrease in the net income of $1,078,073.60 which
represents a percentage decrease in net amounting to 35-91 per cent.
The increases in expenses are, as a matter of fact, greater than the totals I give
disclose. Necessary work has been deferred, owing to the state of the company's
finances. The Canadian Northern Railway certainly cauliot be charged w,ith ever
expending more than was necessary for the maintenance of its lines. As a matter of
fact, the charge in the i)ast has been to the contrary, and the amounts expended by the
company under this head can well be expressed as relatively small.
Notwithstanding during the period in review the company only expended for main-
tenance of right of way and structures $1,976,869.14 in 1917, as against $2,279,658.41
in 1910, an apparent economy of $302,789.27, representing a percentage decrease of
13-28 as being effected in this connection. As a matter of fact the expenditure is not
saved — it is merely deferred, and the only real result of deferred maintenance and
repairs is that the ultimate expenditure will be greater than if made promptly and
maintenance and repairs had been kept up concurrently with the necessity.
This decrease of expenses is entirely eaten up by other increases. To merely
illustrate: The cost of maintenance of equipment (necessary work and repairs on
engines, other running stock, and the like) increased from $1,156,419.05, in 1916, to
$1,502,779.46, in 1917, an increase of all but 30 per cent.
I also instance the advance in the cost of transportation for this period in the
year 1917 amounting to $4,491,149.49 as against $3,655,746.23 for the same period of
the previous year.
The results of October are of particular interest, as in this month a substantial
increase in gross revenue is shown. The October, 1917, earnings amounted to
$3,941,612.62, as against $3,716,784.77 for October, 1916. The resultant increase in
gross is $224,827.85 or over 6 per cent.
The expenses, however, grew at a very much greater ratio. Those of October, 1916,
were $2,496,512.78, while for October, 1917, the expenses amounted to no less than
$3,350,486.03, the increase here amounting to $853,973.25 or 34-20 per cent.
As a necessary result, there is an alarming drop in net income from $1,220,271.99
to $591,126.59 a dccrea.se of $020,145.40. In short, the companj-'s net revenue, with
an increased gross of 6 per cent decreases 51-55 per cent.
It should, however, be noted that, in connection with this month the economics
of the preceding quarter in connection with the maintenance of way and structures
were not practised. On the other hand, no extravagant expenditure was made under
this head. The expenditures of 1917 amounted to $694,653.25 as against $510,141.25.
92 RAILWAY COM^IS^IOyERS FOR CAXADA

In view of the increased costs which are apparent in other accounts the increased
figures cannot sustain any charge either of improvidence or railway extravagances.
Attention has already been called to the fact that the company spends but
relatively little on its right of way.
While the necessity of any possible economics cannot be denied, some economics
cannot be practiced without loss in efficiency and resultant damage, not only to the
company itself, but also to that portion of the public that are dependent upon the
transportation that it ought to provide. It is sufficient to give but one illustration
of insufficient maintenance and repair. The grain movement of the autunm of 1916
to the head of the lakes was light. The October receipts at the lake terminals only
amounted to l!t,6T3,.341 bushels of wheat as against 53,367,710 bushels for October, 191.').
The total grain receipts for the month in 1910 only amounted to 27.1S!).'>Tti bushels
as against 60.786,715 for October of 1915. In October of this year 27,729,120 bushels of
wheat were received and 31,851,584 of all grains, an increase of 4,661.708 over the same
month of the year before or over 16 per cent. The Canadian Northern however only
hauled last October to the lake terminals 7,653 cars while it hauled 8,610 cars in
October of the year before. Instead of a proportionate increase in the road's grain
business the month results in a car decrease of 957 cars or 11 per cent.
A direct reason for this decrease was the physical condition of the line between
Winnipeg and Port Arthur. Train schedules could not be kept, and freight wrecks
occurred. Efficiency in transportation, including as it does, sufficient t^^rminaJ
facilities, sufficient cars and locomotives for the business offering, and a properly
maintained and repaired line of railway, constitutes the chief public necessity in
railway transportation.
This efficiency can only be furnished by companies whose business is sufficiently
remunerative as to produce the necessary funds to maintain the railway and to meet
the ever increasing demands of transportation.
Transportation, if left long enough to the unaided efforts of insolvent or
financially embarrassed companies, must, of necessit.v, break down, to the country's
great hurt and injury. /
The question for the Board to determine is whether, in the light of the above
facts, effect ought to be given to the Manitoba Agreement. If effect be given to the
Manitoba Agreement, practically no rate increases can be made in western territory,
where the great bulk of the Canadian Northern's business is carried on.
Should the usual practice as between parties to commercial contracts be followed,
if it be the duty of the Board to consider the agreement as a pure matter of
law, and having regard only to the contracting parties and not to public convenience
and necessit.v, it well may be that the more fact that the rate called for by tlie agree-
ment constitutes an insufficient remuneration for the service rciuli-rcil uml may result
in actual insolvency, conatitutea of itself no ground for relief.
If a builder agrees to do certain work for an inadequate consi:icriiii<in, liis loss
or its amount is no answer to his contractual liability.
Distinctions, however, between the contractor, on the one hand, and railway
companies on the other, are readily apparent. The contractor's charges arc not
subject to Government or Commission control. The railway company's charges are.
The contractor is subject to no duty to the public. The railway company is. Public
ne<-'C8sity and service constitute a direct justification for railway construction and
railway company incorporation. Moreover, in case the contractor obtains under his
agreement un excessive remuneration, that fact of itself is no bar to his enforcing his
agreement and collecting the last cent of his consideration. On the other hand, the
Board is not bound by any contract under which railways may be etititled to an un-
rea.sonably jargr- rate, but reduces that rate to whatever it finds just and reasonable.
REPORT OF THE COllillSSIOXERS 93
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20o
Under any other practice, traffic officers of the cotniianies, could from time to time,
in many cases make spfecial contracts with shippers at unfairly high rates, or, on the
other hand, pive favoured shippers unduly low rates.
In cither instance, the object of the Act, which is to secure uniformity just as
much as reasonableness in rates, would be defeated.
An unduly low rate constitutes an unreasonable rate, just as much as an unduly
high one, and the question of whether a rate is unduly low or unduly high can only be
established with a knowledge of the cost entailed by the service, which must from
time to time vary.
It has been stated that railway company directors are charged with duties and
trusts, first, to the public, second, to the company's employees; and third, to the
company's shareholders.
I would place the duty to the public, involving as it does proper and sufficient
transportation, as being the duty of primary importance.
The mere fact that an agreement, in the light of changed circumstances, proves
improvident and provides rates insufficient to enable the company's property to be
properly kept up and to meet the current demands of transportation, also involves
loss to the shareholders, is not an answer to the company's primary obligation to
properly operate the road.
It may well be that an agreement made by the directors elected by the shareholders
cannot be set aside on the application of the shareholders themselves; but, on the
other hand, it is clear that no agreement ought to stand in the way of the public as a
whole obtaining the full benefit of that measure of transportation, which a properly
maintained condition of the company's facilities would permit.
Further, an improvident contract made by one company is not merely of injury
to itself and that portion of the public using its line — Parliament has so authorized
railway construction that the line of one company or another parallels those of others to
such an extent that in many instances an unreasonably low rate reserved by contract
made by one comnan.v must be adopted by the other line. As a result, the other
companies are just as much injured as is the company to the contract, and by an act
over which they have not the slightest control.
It is also annarent that an agreement which reserves an unremunerative rate
applicable in the one district, involves a discrimination as against other districts
where traffic and operating conditions are similar, and directly infringes on the
provisions of the Act requiring uniformity in rates.
The Board does not consider any agreement made by a shipper to pay a given
rate any justification for the rate if it be unreasonably high. On the same principle,
when rates reserved b.y contract prove, in the face of changed conditions and increased
costs, unreasonably low, the rates must be made reasonable, notwithstanding the
contract.
In normal times, the contract was entirely free from objection. The discrimination
which it caused in one district as against the other, was relieved by the Eegina Rate
and Western Rate Cases. With to-day's costs and to-day's conditioijs, the contract
reserves an unreasonable rate, under which the Canadian Northern is unable to
properly maintain its properties; and, with tlje changed conditions, agreeable to the
above principles and practice of the Board, higher rates ought to be put in, notwith-
standing the provisions of the Agreement.
The effect of increased costs on railway revenues is not peculiar to the Canadian
Northern. With its larger field and greater diversity of operations, the Canadian
Pacific returns would not as quickly show the effect of different cost advances as those
of the Canadian Xorthern. The returns, however, of the Canadian Pacific for
September show an increase of $30,03.5 in gross on eastern lines, and on western lines of
$64,803. The expenses, however, have greatly increased, the increase in eastern
94 RAILWAY COHillSSlOSERS FOR CAVADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
. lines amounting to $732,040, and on western lines to $839,145. As a result, with a
total gross revenue of $11,470,695 as against $11,380,939, September of this year as
compared with September of 191G. produces a net revenue of but $3,727,173 as .iffninst
$5,202,611. In other words, the drop in net earnings on the system for the month
amounts to $l,475,4.'i8. a reduction of 28-3 per cent.
Taking the Grand Trunk Railway as the characteristic line in the East — there is
no doubt that it may be fairly so regarded — the actual results are very nearly the
same as those of the Canadian Northern.
The increased traffic which the contestants to the application urged was inevitable
to take place has materialized but the increased gross has entirely failed to make up
the losses brought about by increased expenses.
The total transportation revenue of the Grand Trunk for the 10 months' period
of 1917. that is to say from\ January 1, to October 31 , amounted to $43,366,844, as
against $39,100,498 for the same period of the previous year. The resultant iiicrease
is $4,206,346, practically 11 per cent.
For this same period in 1917, however, the working expenses amounted to $33,-
689,532.48, as against $27,479,538.79 for 1916. The increase in expenses is therefore,
$6,209,993.69. representing a percentage growth in expenses of 22-59.
The fact that expenses are unfortunately increasing and that transportation in
the later months of the year is subject to jrreater burdens than during the earlier
months is emphasized by taking the figures for October out of this 10 months' period
and contrasting the results obtained in October with the results obtained for the
full 10 months.
Transportation receipts for October of this year amounted to $4,703,643 as
against $4,618,000 for 1916. The increase is still present, although to a much smaller
percentage, the whole increase amounting to $85,643, a percentage increase of 1-85.
The expenses for October of this year, however, amounted to $3,876,019.95 as
8g«iiist ?3,111,183.36 for the sr.n e n onth of the year before. The resultant increase
is $764,826.59, an increase in expenditure of 24-58 per cent.
The result on the transportation net is that it only amounts to $708,930.05 for
October of 1917, as against $1,390,537.64, for the month of the previous year. There-
fore, it decreases $681,607.59, a percentage reduction of no less than 49 per cent.
The effect of the cost of railway operation over the whole country is beyond
question. This loss in net of 49 per cent may well be compared to the October figures
of the Canadian Northern, where the net decrease amounted to 51-55 per cent.
There can be no question, in view of the actual results, that the railways require
greater revenues and must have them if proper efficiency is to be maintained and
the demand of the country for transportation at all adequately met.
I have already dealt with the difficulty in dealing with the emergency in the
West and resulting from the agreements and statutes referred to. Difficulties also
exist in the East and are specially attributable to the operation of the Grand Trunk
under different tariffs.
The rate situation in the East has been largely controlled by water competition
and the competition of American lines.
Speaking geiierall.y, there is no doubt that it is the right of a company to ignore
competition should it desire to do so; and there is also no doubt that the advances in
water rates have lessoned the competition from that source materially.
The Grand Trunk situation, however, is aggravated by the fact that it is to quite
a large extent an American system. It derives a large portion of its tonnage from
American points through its ownership of the Chicago antl Grand Trunk Railway
and other subsidiary American .systems. Again, speaking generally, these subsidiary
American systems (which are not only owned by the Grand Trunk shareholders, but
are operato^l by the Grand Trunk officials, the whole being operated as one system)
ore operated under rates upon a lower bn^I^ tlmn tlmt nlitnining in Eastern Canada.
REPORT OF THE COitMISSIOyERS 95
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
Xot only does the Grand Trunk carry through Canadian territory goods of
American origin billed throucrh to an American point, but it also carries goods of
American origin into Canada which come into direct competition, with Canadian
producers, wholesalers, and jobbers. The discrimination was in the past greater
than it now is.
An application was made to the Board in 1907, with a view of removing the rate
discrepancy, and the disability of the Canadian producer was relieved by the Order
issued in the so-called International Rate Case, which reduced rates in Canadian
territory to as near the rates in American territory as it was than felt that it was
practicable to go.
While undoubtedly the Grand Trunk proper has benefited by the traffic produced
by its American subsidiaries, unfortunately earnings in American territory, based as
they were upon lower rate schedules, resulted in unprofitable operation of these sub-
sidiary lines, with the result that the Grand Trunk from time to time has had to make
good, deficits occurring on the American portions of the system, amounting to large
sums of money.
This, again, has been the subject of complaint by the Canadian shippers, who have
urged that the surplus that the company earned out of their rates was used by the
conxpany to enable it to carry on transportation in the United States at less than cost.
This feature of the rate situation was considered by the Board in the Eastern
Rates judgment ; and, as a matter of fact, the increases there granted were not so great
as they would have been had the tariff basis in the American territory of the system
been higher.
The details of these deficits given the Board by the company were filed in the
Eastern Rates Case in 1915, and related to the deficits of 1914, the net deficit then
shown by the company, resulting from the operation of its American subsidiaries and
deducted from the net of the pairent company, amounted to $1,230,448.89.
I understand, however, that, with the heavier traffic brought about by the war
and before the present abnormal costs obtained, the earnings of these subsidiary
lines greatly improved and the parent company was practically, if not altogether,
relieved of the burden of these deficits. The statutory reports so indicate.
In view of the necessities of the company and the deficits of the past on the
American subsidiary lines of the company, the Board has hoped that the rate
situation would improve in American territory and that the company would take
advantage of whatever rate increases were possible under leave of the appropriate
commissions.
The condition brought about by advanced costs would appear to be somewhat
similar in the United States situation to that in Canada.
This has been recognized by the Interstate Commerce Commission in their report
to Congress based, as it is. on the financial necessities of the roads, as well as the
traffic demands of the nation.
It may also be noted that the Interstate Commerce Commission has recently
granted a substantial increase in connection with the very important iron and steel
movement in western territory.
The Interstate Commerce Commission has also authorized general increases
in what is known as the Central Freight Association Territory as far back as June 29
last. For some reason or other these were not with ordinary despatch fully put into
effect by the railway companies.
This question Mr. Hardwell has had up with the companies' officials.
Perhaps one of the most important schedules, having regard to the position of the
Canadian shipper, on the one hand, and his American competitor, on the other, is the
Detroit schedule, covering rates from Detroit to Toronto and Montreal, and the
intermediate points.
96 RAILWAY COitMISSIOSERS FOR CASADA

The Grand Trunk rates in Canada of importance in this relation are the rates
from Windsor (which, of course, is a station en route) to Toronto and Montreal, and
upon which the rates from all intermediate stations are scaled. ,
The basis under which traffic has been carried since the publication of the tariff
authorized in the Canadian Eastern Eates Case and prior to the publication of those
authorized in the United States 15 per cent Case, is shown by the following schedule: —
Class. 1. Class 2. Class 3. Class 4. Class 5.

From these schedules it will be observed that a shipper from the intermediate
station. Windsor, in connection with the all-important fifth class, paid .'i cents more
than the shipper from Detroit in the foreipn movement to Toronto, and for the
movement to Montreal paid .5-4 cents more.
The disparity was not as hiph in the past, the Board hnvinp increased class rates
in the Eastern Rates Case by an addition of 2 cents first, scaling down to 1 cent, fifth
class, other classes scaling proportionately.
The Canadian increases were allowing owing to the financial position of the
Grand Trunk, the Board feeling that, although the apparent difTorenop was great,
under war conditions and the demand for all eomnioditics the Canadian shipper would
not as a matter of fact suffer.
This adde<l disability was cheerfully accepted by ca.«tern .shippers.
Following the publication of the tariffs authorized in the Fnited States 1."> per

The rates from Detroit to Toronto were not then advanced, the rate,^ in Central
Freight Association territory being still under consideration by the Iiiterstnte
Commerce Commission. That Commission, as previou.il.v mentioned, annuouced itJi
decision on the 2ntli .Tune last, granting increases independently of the Mi per cent
previously allowetl, but the railway conipaniew. wliatev<'r the reason nia.v have been,
did not take advantage of this dc<'isif)ii to advance the rates from Detroit to Toronto
until .December 1.
At the time of tin- hearing in tills case, and indeed until tlie first instant, if effect
were given to the application for a 1!> per cent increase, the result would have been
that the rate from Detroit to Toronto, first class, would h.nve been no less than S-.'i
cents lower than the Windsor rate to Toronto, and the difTcreni'c in favour of the
Detroit shipper on articles moving under the fifth class into the Toronto market, as
against the Windsor shipper, would have been no le«H than S cents. The same dis-
ability would njiply i)ro])ortionately to idl intermediate )>oints.

Absolute parity, of course, is not obtained. It was found impossible to obtain
it in the International Eate Case. While the rate situation is not all that can be
desired in view of the necessitie.=i of the company and the higher American rate basis
made effective on the first instant, I would allow the increase of 15 per cent as asked
subject to the exceptions herein made.
Increases were sought to be made in the all-rail movement from the East to the
West. The increases which the companies desired were increases entirely in
Eastern territory. The new all-rail tariff became, therefore, a matter directly affecting
the Eastern situation, although the movement was entirely into Western territory.
Much has been said as to the delay in dealing with the railways' application for
an increase. The railways' delays in connection with the Detroit Schedule have
been mentioned. I might also point out that the Assistant Chief Commissioner,
in a memorandum dated the 7th April, 1917, suspending increased lake-and-rail rates
until they were discussed at sittings of the Board in the West, gives the following
direction with reference to the all-rail increases :• —
" We were told at the opening sittings on March 20 by the representatives
of one of the railway companies, that the railway companies contemplated
shortly filing tariffs increasing the all-rail rates from Eastern to Western points.
If this is contemplated, it would be well for the railway companies to file these
all-rail tariffs without delay, so that if any objections are made to them the
parties objecting can be heard at the Western sittings, which it will be
necessary for the Board to hold to consider the tariffs now before us."
The Western Boards of Trade protested against the tariffs which were subsequently
filed increasing the rates for the all-rail movement and requested that the matter
should be heard.
For some reason or other, the railway companies did not file the all-rail tariffs as
directed. They subsequently explained that owing to lack of clerical help they had been
unable to carry "out the direction, although the sittings of the Board in the West,
where the increased lake-and-rail tariffs and the application for the general fifteen per
cent advance were heard, were held as late as June, two months after the direction
was given.
As a result, further sittings of the Board had to be arranged and these all-rail
increases, which were not only objected to by the western Boards of Trade, but also
by the Canadian Manufacturers' Association, had to be heard, after the companies'
neglect had been brought to the notice of the Board last September by protests from
20o— 7

the West. The hearinfrs thus rendered necessary were at Calgary, Kilmoiiton,
Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, and Fort William; and the increased all-vail tariflfs
were allowed by the Board's Judgment issued on November 9. It may be noted
that the last hearing took place at Fort William on the 22nd of October.
On the record these rates should be considered on a diflFerent basis. The companies
have already obtained a substantial increase, the 1st class all-rail basing rate to Fort
William being advanced from 75 cents to 81 cents, other classes scaling in proportion.
The resultant increase of 6 cents on first-class makes an average increase of under 6i
per cent in the five classes of general merchandise. 15 per cent on top of that would
make an average increase of approximately 21 J per cent.
In view of the manner in which the through tariffs from Eastern to Western
Canada are built up on the combination of the rates current from Port Arthur and
Fort William west and certain arbitrary rates from the eiistern shipping points
to Port Arthur and Fort William produced to a great extent by the summer competition
of the lake-and-rail route; and in view also of the fact that the rates to different
points in western territory have been constructed on the whole result thus obtained,
it is obvious that an interference of a different percentage as applied to the whole
might work changes in the relative rate bases of different distributing centres in
Western territory.
This, of course, ought not to be done. Much troiible has been taken in the past
to arrive at a fair basis of rates as between different districts and to maintain a rate
situation of justice from different western distributing points. The matter was
referred to Mr. Hardwell, the Board's Chief Traffic Officer, to work out the effect of
any change in percentages upon the whole district.
This has necessitated itr. Hardwell making up a very large number of rates and
putting in much labour in comparing the rates in different sections of the country.
His report on the question is as follows: —
TJD. 12353.
Decemlicr ]4, 1!>17.
" Ee 15 per cent a; plication and Western rates.
" I beg to report that a close examination of the rate situation as it affects
freight traffic between Eastern and Western Canada has convinced mo that
whether the proposal to allow an increase of 10 per cent be sufficient or
insufficient for railway needs, it is illogical, and would also upset the system
that has always existed of basing the through rates on Fort William.
The Board recently granted increases in the proportionals for Fort William
only : —
1st da.is, from 7B centa to 81 cents.
r>th class, from 31 cents to 33 cents.
The proposal to accept an increase of 15 per cent in the local tariffs west of
lake Superior, would include the tariff from Fort William: therefore, the rates
from Fort William to Winnipeg, for exniuiilc wonld H.lvnnci' ;w follows: —
iBt ciniis, from !iS cents to 9S rents.
.')lh clafls. from 38 cents to 431 cents.
The Rtiggcstion of an increase of 10 per ncnf from Toronto and Montreal
to Winnipeg would result ns follows: —
l«t clajis. from I'RB to l'S2J rents.
5th cinss, from 0'71 cents to 0"78 cents.
REPORT OF THE COMUISSIOXERS 99
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
Deduction from these proposed through rates the increased rates from F jrt
William would leave the eastern proportionals as follows : —
1st class. 84 5 cents Instead of 81 cents=: 104-2 per cent.
5th class. 345 cents instead of 33 cents=104-4 per cent.
Therefore, the proportionals recently allowed would be increased by less
than 4i per cent.
Furthermore, the wholesale centres in the west might be expected to
complain if their distributing rates were advanced 1.5 per cent while the shippers
in eastern Canada were asked to pay but 10 per cent on their through rates.
So far as the basing system is concerned, the existing eastern proportionals
might be protected by increasing the rates west from Fort William 10 instead
of 15 per cent; but this would not remove the objections to be anticipated from
the western jobbers. It might also be expected to arouse the coast cities, who
would hardly favour a less increase in the terminal tariff from the lake Superior
ports than in the terminal tariff from Vancouver, etc. While the eastern
arbitrary system may, perhaps, be considered theoretical, these trade objections
may prove real.
In my opinion, the logical solution is to confine the 10 per cent advance
to the proportionals east of Fort William. The recent allowance averaged
under 6J per cent in the five classes of general merchandise so that the total
now suggested would approximate 16J per cent. The through rates would
then be made by adding the Fort William westbound rates irvcreased by 15 per
cent. From Toronto and Montreal to Winnipeg the situation would then be
expressed as follows : —
1st Class. 5th Class.
Present rates from September 1, 1917 $1.66 71 cents.
If present through rates were increased 15 per cent. 1.91 815

William and 15 per cent beyond 1-87 79J
If through rates prior to September 1, 1917, were

It will be observed that if the Board had included the recent all-rail
case in the 15 per cent application, and consequently now granted the full
15 per cent, the rates would approximate to Winnipeg those I suggest; in fact
the important 5th class would be the same."
I would adopt Mr. Hardwell's report. The result is that 15 per cent will be
allowed in so far as the territory west of Port Arthur is concerned, but the increase
will be held down to 10 per cent on the eastern balance of the through rate.
There are already dilKeulties as to the spread of rates on coal. These spreads
would bo but further aggravated if percentage increases were allowed on coal. I
would allow a flat increase of not exceeding 15 cents per ton on all coal and coke
carried in the eastern and western territories. This flat advance on the long hauls
will, of course, be a great deal less than a percentage increase of 15 per cent; but on
the other hand, on the shorter hauls, it will be larger than the 15 per cent increase
would be. The flat rate will, however, bear less harmfully on the consumers generally.
The necessity of this 15-cent increase on a commodity of direct and urgent
necessity to the public is much to be regretted. It is, however, inevitable. In order
to increase railway revenues to an appreciable extent, commodities constituting a large
part of the tonnage carried must bear an appreciable share of increased rates. Coal
in eastern territory is chiefly carried by the Grand Trunk and in western territory
the coal tonnage of the Canadian Northern is fast increasing. Both these systems
require increased revenues very badly.

9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
Common clay and sand, gravel and crushed stone are commodities which cannot,
in my view, stand a 15 per cent increase. I would however, permit the companies
to increase their rates on these commodities, both in eastern and western territories,
by adding to existing rates not more than five cents a ton.
In western territory, as already indicated, any relief the Board can give the
railways is limited by the provisions of the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement.
The chief traffic in the West is grain. The Crow's Nest Pass Agreement will not
Ijermit a general increase of 15 per cent to be made to the Lake Superior ports; but
under it a flat increase of 2 cents a hundred, which will approximate a 10 per cent
advance on what is perhaps the average western grain rate, can be obtained on the
conii::odities included in the existing tariffs on grain, flax seed and tlieir products and
I would allow it.
It is quite true that neither the Canadian Northern nor the Grand Trunk Pacific
are bound by the provisions of the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement or Act. On the other
hand, while it would be open for the Board to permit an increase of 15 per cent in
their rates, over a very large part of the territory served by one or other of these
systems grain could undoubtedly be hauled to the Canadian Pacific. The result
would be that both these companies, in order to protect their traflic, would reduce
their rates at all ppints where their traffic would suffer from Canadian Pacific
competition.
The element of unequal rates would be again introduced into the western territory;
and I am convinced that this is no better for the railways than it is for the districts.
The Crow's Nest Pass Agreement again, does not call for lower rates for the
whole territory as now operated. The reductions apply merely to the then existing
tariffs, and, therefore, to operations of the company as carried on at the time that
Act was passed.
I am of the opinion that discrimination should be avoided, and that the effect
•of the Crow's Nest Pass Agreement must be extended to the system of the company
.as to-day operated.
Under present tariffs no distinction is made between stations in the territory
•covered by the company's tariffs in effect when the agreement was made and those
Vipon its subsequent construction. The Board, in my view, ought not to permit any
such distinction to be now made. The Crow's Nest Pass Agreement was considered
by the late Chief Commissioner Killam .1., in British Columbia Coast Cities vs.
Canadian Pacific Railway, 7 C.RO., 125. His jud|?ment reads:—
"As a result of this Act and the agreement made under it, the company
made tariffs of reduced rates upon the classes of merchandise referred to,
not only from Fort William and points east thereof westward, but also from
Winnipeg westward, without similarly reducing rates on the same classes
of merchandise from Pacific points eaatwai'd. These reductions cannot be
considered as having been forced upon the company, but were the reM\ilt of an
agreement which it chose to enter into for tlic purpose of obtaining n subsidy in
aid of the con.struction of a line of railway. The agreement and the statute
did not even deal with ratea from Winnipeg at all. ^^^len the Statute was
passed, and when the agreement was made, the law prohibited unjust discrimin-
ation between localities, and while Parliament did not stipulate for similar
reductions over western portions of the cfinipany's railway, it should not, in my
opinion, be cnnsiilered as having authorized what would, if done otherwise,
have produced unjust discrimination. I tliink tliat wo are justified in inferring
that, in respect of the classes of nien-handise to which these tariffs relate, the
reductions did result in such discrimination, and that the rates from Vancouver
eastward, upon similar traffic Carried under similar circumstancee, should
be proportionately reduced."
REPORT OF TEE COMUISSWNERS 101
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
In my view full effect should be given to the above principles.
In so far as concerns carload rates on grain, flax-seed and their products in the
West, other than the rates to the lake Superior ports and intermediate points held
down by the terminal rates; also on the same commodities from Port Arthur and Fort
William eastward, and carload grain and grain products in Eastern Canada, I would
allow the application for a flat 15 per cent advance, subject to a maximum increase of 2
cents per 100 pounds in the existing rates.
The consideration of chief importance underlying the lumber rates in the West
is their relation one to the other. The spread is of greater importance to the lumber
industry than the amount of the rate itself. A straight percentage increase would
improperly accentuate existing spreads from lumber producing territories and dislocate
business. It would have a specially detrimental effect upon the British Columbia
industry.
On the other hand, a general flat increase might bear with undue severity upon
short hauls. There are rates as low as 5 cents a hundred. A flat increase of 3 cents,
which on a rate of 46 cents would be an increase of only 64 per cent, would, in the
case of a 5-cent rate, amount to an increase of 60 per cent.
The whole western lumber rate situation is full of difficulty and presents a highly
technical rate problem. The question as to how increases in lumber rates can be best
made without dislocation of traflic by changing the rate relationship now existing
between present mills and at the same time result in no undue hardship to the
consumer, was referred to Mr. Hardwell for his opinion. Mr. Hardwell's report,
in part, is as follows : —
"As regards lumber; so far as the British Columbia mills are concerned,
the desideratum being the preservation of the existing rate relationship between
the various mills, as emphasized at the Calgary hearing and in past proceedings,
it is clear that this cannot be attained by means of a percentage of increase,
even though held down to a maximum per 100 pounds advance for the longer
hauls.
" The entire situation has been very carefully examined, therefore, with the
view of settling on flat increases in cents per 100 pounds which should avoid any
possible complaints of preference or discrimination. Working on a tariff that
has no uniform basis, it is impossible to arrive at advances accurately repre-
senting 15 per cent. I find, however, that the adoption of the following recom-
mendation would not only afford a broad basis, but would nearly approximate
15 per cent, namely : —
" To Alberta destinations, also to Canadian Pacific Eailway main line
stations as far east as Mortlaoh, Sask., the increase to be 3 cents per 100
pounds.
" To all other destinations in Saskatchewan the increase to be 4 cents
per 100 pounds.
" To destinations in Manitoba, also in New Ontario east to Port
Arthur, the increase to be 5 cents per 100 pounds.
" To a large number of destinations these suggested increases would
equal 15 per cent; to others they would be slightly over or under 15 per
cent. From the interior mills to Winnipeg the rate would advance from
33 to 38 cents, or precisely 15 per cent; from the coast mills from 40 to 45
cents, or one cent loss than 15 per cent.
"From British Columbia to Eastern Canada I would increase the
difference over the rates to Port Arthur 10 per cent as recommended for
the class rates. From the interior and coast mills, respectively, the rates
to Toronto points would go up from 60 and 67 cents to 67 and 74 cents;
102 RAILWAY COUillSSIONERS FOR CANADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
110 per cent of the through rates, as first proposed, would give 66 and T3i
cents.
" To Montreal points the result would be similar.
" From the other lumber shipping territories I submit the following recom-
mendations :
" From the northern Manitoba and Saskatchewan spruce districts, 15
per cent, subject to a maximum of 3 cents per 100 pounds to destinations
in Saskatchewan, also in Manitoba east to Winnipeg, and 4 cents to those
in Alberta and east of Winnipeg to Port Arthur.
" From the Lake of the Woods and Rainy River districts 15 per cent,
subject to a maximum of 3 cents per 100 pounds, to destinations in
Manitoba, and 4 cents to those in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
" From Port Arthur 15 per cent, subject to a maximum of 3 cents to
Manitoba, 4 cents to Saskatchewan, and 5 cents to Alberta.
"Between points in Eastern Canada 15 per cent flat. As the highest
local eastern rate appears to be 20 cents this would make the maximum
advance 3 cents.''
1 would adopt M. Hardwell's report. Under it the rate differences from the
dilTerent competing mills would be maintained as they now are.
In so far as the bulk of the movement is concerned. Mr. Hardwell's recom-
mendations will result in the 1.") per cent increase; in other instances the increase
will not amount to 15 per cent; and, in other cases, the percentage increase will be
slightly in excess of 15 per cent.
The adoption of Mr. Hardwell's recommendations will put the lumber rate upon
a more scientific basis than it has been in the past.
The rate situation which Mr. Hardwell's report preserves is the outcome of an
agreement between the associated western mills and the railways. Under this arrange-
ment, the rates from the coast mills east to Winnipeg and Port Arthur, are made
the basic rates. The rates from the interior mountain mills and from the mills as far
east as Calgary and Blairmore are all based on this standard rate and scale, not
strictly having regard to mileage, but scaled according to the agreement between the
trade and the railways.
These mills enter into more or less competition with mills in the Northern Spruce
Belt (Northern Manitoba and Northern Saskatchewan) ; also with mills in the lake
of the Woods district on the Canadian Pacific, and in the Rainy River district on the
Canadian Xortliern; and to some extent with the mills at Port Arthur.
The situation is highly competitive having regard to the lumber business. Mr.
Hardwell's report is in my opinion, the best solution available.
On through movenien*s of these lumber commodities from western shipping points
to destinations east of Pirt Arthur, under Mr. Hardwell's report, the increase per-
mitted is a proper and logical result having regard to the dispositions made of other
through movementa, a'^d ' i view of the increase already made in the all-rail and lake-
and-rail rates.
While increases have not been made in the American transcontinental rates, T
would, nevertheless, permit an increase in the transcontinental class rates, as they do
not reflect competition to the extent the commodity rates do. The rates, however, are
built up on the all-rail movement, but in view of the American scale and for the
reasons already given I think the increase ought to be reduced to 10 per cent.
Tran.scontinental commodity rates, however, are directly competitive. If unduly
in'Toased over the American transcontinental rates, the res\ilts well might be that
Canadian produce would not move at all in ca.sos where American produce was
nvailablo, or in some other instances, if it did move, it would move over American
REPORT OF THE COilillSSIONERB 103
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
lines. I would not at the present advance the transcontinental commodity rates
unless these rates are advanced in conformity with advances made by the American
lines.
Generally speaking, the rail freight rates in British Columbia are on a con-
siderably higher basis than in the prairie territory. In the Western Rates Case,
the Board found that a higher level of charges was justified by the greater cost of
conducting transportation. An advance of 15 per cent would, however, materially
increase the spread between the mountain and the prairie tariffs, and having regard to
all the circumstances, I am of the opinion that in the so-called " Pacific " territory
an increase of only 10 per cent should be allowed, but, of course, no rates to be lower
than the prairie rates as increased. This pei-centage difference will not apply
to the rates between the ports of call on the British Columbia lakes, as these being now
on the prairie basis must take the prairie increase of 15 per cent.
Railway tolls covering services incidental to transportation stand on a different
footing to those charged for the line movement. The application for a general advance
and authority permitting a general advance in freight rates not exceeding 15 per
cent would, however, include them unless specifically excepted. Some of these charges,
for e.xample, tariffs for heating and refrigeration, have been recently considered by the
Board. Other such services in their nature represent entirely a terminal activity and
have particular importance at different local points. Strong objection has been taken
by Boards of Trade, particularly those at larger points, to any increase being made
on this application and on the general grounds on which it is supported to any increase
in these tolls.
In my opinion the objections are well taken, and I would refuse on the present
record any increase of tolls and tariffs applicable to switching, whether local or
interswitching^ weighing, demurrage, refrigeration, heated car service, car diversions,
reconsignmenta, storage, wharfage, sleeping or parlour car accommodation, or other
special services. ■
The application for an increase covers passenger rates as well as freight rates.
I am of opinion that the present maximum rate of 4 cents in British Columbia
is so high that it ought not to be advanced. On the other hand, I would grant the
advance in rates in other territory where the present maximum rate is three cents as
against the four-cent rate in British Columbia.
In so far as passenger rates are concerned, it is entirely in the public interest
at the present time that passenger travel should be as light as possible. The iisual
considerations applying to passenger traffic are to-day reversed. Public interest to-day
calls for a reduction wherever possible in passenger service, to the end that the
country's resources of coal, railway facilities and supplies, as well as man power, should
be conserved as much as possible for all essential freight movement. The same con-
siderations do not, of course, apply to the necessary freight movement.
On the other hand, it must be realized that the Board cannot make rates, having
in mind an improved and more economic location and system of railways. The Board's
duty as I see it, and as I have already pointed out, is to control and adjust rates,
having regard to the systems of railways' that Parliament has authorized. The Board
must take the railway ownership just as it finds it.
No greater profits will be obtained by the railways under the new rate schedule
than in the past. The increased rates allowed will certainly not equal the increase
in costs to which the railways are subject. These increased costs are not in any way
attributable to the railway managements. They are very largely represented in
wage increases which have had the approval of the public at large. Public bodies and
public sympathy have been with the men in the increases which they have obtained.
No objection whatever has been made by any contestant on the ground that the rail-
ways have improvidently increased wages. The other items of cost increases are
104 SAILWAT COAt^ISSIONERS FOR CA^'ADA
9 GEORGE /, A. 1919
chiefly the result of to-day's prices of coal, steel material, and railway supplies. The
railways suffer in this regard in common with other users of these necessities. The
increased cost can certainly not be said to be the railway's fault.
It must be realized that these increased costs can only be met by increase in
tariffs. The railways' revenues are derived from transportation.
The increases granted do not work out at the same percentage in both eastern
and western territory.
While it may be that the increases granted in western territory may not prove
sufficient to meet the increasing demands on the companies' exchequers, they are as
great as the Board can authorize on the present application, in view of the Crows Nest
Case, with the exception of the increases on coal rates.
In the West, the application in one instance called for a 15 per cent increase
in coal rates.
As the coal-rail haul in western territory is long, a 15 per cent rate increase
would, on the whole, have netted more than 15 cents a ton — much more on some of the
long hauls.
The haul on coal in .the East is certainly short, having regard to the volume
moved; and the flat increase of 15 cents a ton the railways asked in eastern territory
produces more revenue than a percentage increase of 15 per cent would. In adopting
the flat increase of 15 cents per ton on coal, I am of opinion that substantial justice
is being done.
While it is true that in so far as western territory is concerned, on the great bulk
of traffic, rates would only increase approximately 10 per cent and eastern rates are,
speaking generally, raised 15 per cent, it must be borne in mind that, while the rates
in the two different sections of the country are much nearer equality since the
deductions worked under the Western Rates Case and the increases given under the
Eastern Bates Case took effect, again speaking generally, rates in the West are still
higher.
As a result subject to the limitations worked by the Crows Nest Agreement as
extended by this judgment and to the specific directions herein contained the companies
are permitted to raise their general rates 15 per cent and make the specific advances
herein allowed. 22 Can. Ry. Cos. Ji9.
Re COMPL.\iXT OF MONTREAL BOARD OF TRADE TRANSPORTATION BUREAU AGAINST CANADIAN
PACIFIC R-\H,\VAY company's PROPOSED LIMITATION OF FREE TIME AT ST. JOHN, N.B.,
ON THROUGH SHIPMENTS OF GRAIN AND GRAIN PRODUCTS TO BAY OF FUNDV PORTS, VIA
THE SEELY LINE.
It appeared from the evidence that for many years the Canadian Pacific Railway
Company allowed ten days' free time, inclusive of Sundays or holidays, for the
transhipment of grain and grain products from C.P.R. cars at St. John, or West
St. John, to ports of tlie Seely line to Bay of Fundy ports.
By its grain and grain product tariff C.R.C. E-3339, effective September 1, 1917,
this free time was cut down to five days, not counting Sundays and holidays. That
provision was carried forward in Supplement No. 2 to C.R.C. E-3339, effective
December 6, 1917.
Tlie applicants contended that no demurrage should be charged for delays in
transhipment to the Seely line at St. John because it was contrary to ctccption C of
rule 1 of the Car Service Rules, which became effective on August 20, 1917, in their
amended form.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, January 8, 1918, con-

COMPLAINT OF THE RETAIL MERCHANTS' ASSOCUTION, PORT AKTHUR, ONT., AND FORT WILLUM,
ONT., " RE " ADVANCED CAKtAge CHARGES.
This complaint was in effect an application for the re-opening and re-consideration
of an application which had previously been dealt with in the Board's judgments of
February 5, 1915, and November 22, 1915: Application of the Fort William Board of
Trade for the estahlishment of a Cartage Service at Fort William; or for the abolition
of the custom of the railwai/ company of collecting the consignor's cartage — from the
consignee. Files 1S66S.3S and 18663.30.
It was contended tljat the existing situation was a discriminatory one, in that
the practice of advanced cartage charges was allowed only in respect of a limited
number of originating points in Ontario and Quebec. The judgments referred to
pointed out the absence of jurisdiction of the Board over cartage companies, and that
the Board was without power to regulate the charges made by these companies.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, January 11, 1918, concurred in
by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, that the facts as developed in the application
did not take it out from under the principles laid down in the judgments referred to,
and that the situation was that the grievance complained of was one which it was not
within the powers of the Board to correct, and that the Order asked for could not
be granted. 2k Can. Ey. Cas. SO.

Judgment, Chief Commissioner Drayton, January 15, 1918, concurred in by
Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, Deputy Chief Commissioner Nantel, Com-
missioner McLean and Commissioner Goodeve: —
As a result of protests which were made by Live Stock Shippers' Associations,
Limiber Shippers' Associations, and Grain Shippers' Associations, as well as the
application of the Government of the province of Manitoba, for leave to appeal from
the judgment herein, a sitting of the Board was held at Ottawa, on Thursday, the
10th of January. 1918. to consider these protests.
It was determined at the sitting to give leave to the Government of Manitoba
to appeal on the questions of law on which that Government desired to appeal to the
Supreme Court of Canada. The other protests referred to were not disposed of.
The matter that the Board considered in connection with these protests was the
effective date which should be given tojthe Board's judgment.
No appearance was made by any Live Stock Shippers' Association, and no repre-
sentations were, therefore, made on behalf of their interests.
Dr. Magill and Mr. Frank Fowler appeared for the grain interests and Mr.
Kelly and Mr. Bacon for the lumbermen.
I first deal with the lumber situation.
At the hearing it was asked that the effective date should be postponed until
April 1 next. Other representations have been made in writing asking that the
effective date of the tariffs should be made the 1st of March, the 15th of March,
the 1st of April.
There is no doubt that the desire of the trade to escape the higher rates is general.
106 RAILWAY COMillSSIONFRS FOR CANADA
9 GEORGE V. A. 1919
The application in this case was lodged last April. Sittinrrs of the Board at
which the application for an increase of rates was heard were held as far back as the
5th of last June, and the lumber interests were represented at these hearings.
As far back as the 6th of June last Mr. Mackin, chairman of the British Columbia
Lumber and Shinfrle Manufacturers' Association, Vancouver, said : —
" We notice one of the railways has stated that they would like to have
an emergency declared, and this rate made effective within thirty days. What
would be our position with a great deal of business on our books at the present
time sold on the basis of the old rate? Is it not reasonable we should be given
sufficient time? We think thirty days is not enough within which to clean up
that business."
He was asked the question : —
"Are your contracts made in that way? In view of the present situation,
the changed conditions, are you not making most of your contracts subject to
that?"
Mr. Mackin's reply was: —
" We have for the last ten days been doing that. But most of the lumber
is sold on the conditions I have named above."
Mr. Alexander Wood appeared at the same sitting for the Ent Portage Lumber
Company, Limited. He though that three months would be the least time within
which orders filed could be got out.
Mr. Adolph, of the Adolph Lumber Company, at the sitting held on the 16th
of June in Nelson, B.C., showed according to his quotations, that he had 2,000 orders
which would have to be delivered at the present rates, and that he had no right of
cancellation. lie also stated that he had to deliver his lumber within thirty d.ays if
he could, but that under present conditions it would take two months to deliver the
lumber.
On cross-examinption by Mr. Peters on behalf of the railway companies, the
record shows: —
" Mr. Peteks : Have you any lumber contracts taken which you accepted
on condition that the rates remain the same as at present? Haven't you got
orders now booked where you arc protected in case of advance in freight
rates ?
" ^Ir. Adolph : Yes, as soon as v,d understood that there was an applica-
tion.
"Mr. Petkus: You did not mention that. I thought you were going to
mention it. How long have you had orders like that?
" Mr. Adolph : Probably three weeks.
"Mr. Peters: Not longer than that?
"Mr. Aix)i.pn: I do not think so, and we have not a great many taken
under those conditions.
"Mr. Peteiss: They are all taken that way now?
"Mr. Amn.pii: A man would be a very poor business man to take them
any other way."
What may be said of lumber may bo said of every other commodity handled by
the railways. The fullest publicity has been given the railways' application for
increased rates. The shippers have had notice of it for upwards of eight months.
They have certainly had as much notice as they would have had if the railway com-
panies had gone to the unnecessary expense of filing everj' tariff before the question
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 107
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
was considered by the Board. Speaking generally, they have been in a position to
protect themselves by taking orders at the point of production subject to the cost of
railway haul, whatever that might be.
The only notice under the Act that the railway companies are obliged to give
is thirty days. Shippers, in the present instance, have had notice, as already stated,
of over eight months. Doubtless there has always to be more or less inconvenience
and perhaps loss suffered every time a rate advance is made, but this trouble is caused
just as much by other advances in any necessity whether it be supplies or labour.
With the notice that the shippers have had in this instance, this inconvenience
should have been reduced to an irreducable minimum if the ordinary precaution, as
defined by Mr. Adolph himself, had been adopted.
As it is now, there will still be delay before the increases are put in. The whole
of the railways' demands have not been given effect to. Instead of a blanket rate
increase, effect has been given to the position taken by the lumber interests and specific
advances are made, resulting in the necessity of having new tariffs provided. In all
probability,, this will take some time, and until the appropriate tariff is provided the
judgment of course cannot be carried into effect. The circumstances and publicity of
the application are such that no application for a stay of the judgment ought to
be granted.
This disposes of all requests for suspension of the judgment, except in so far as
the movement of wheat is concerned. The position here is entirely different. I
would give effect to Mr. Fowler's application.
Wheat buyers and country elevators are not permitted to carry on business in
the ordinary course in so far as wheat is concerned. They are compelled by order
of the Board of Grain Supervisors for Canada to purchase wheat at a specific price.
They are also compelled by the same Board to sell wheat at a specific price.
Mr. Fowler's figures, which were not disputed by the raihvays, show that the Board
of drain Supervisors has held these grain buyers down to a price which will certainly
permit of no excessive or vmreasonable profit, but will possibly result in some loss,
certainly in loss having regard to the activities of the buyers, in so far as wheat itself
is concerned.
In view of the artificial position, therefore, of wheat, brought about by legislation
doubtless necessary in view of war conditions, and in view of the position in which
wheat purchasers have been placed, I am of opinion that the increases allowed for the
carriage of wheat ought not now to be made effective. I woyld postpone the effective date
of rate increases for the transportation of this commodity utntil the 1st day of June
next. This will enable all wheat purchased at the oH rate and subject to the old con-
ditions to be hauled to Fort William before the new rates take effect.
The like conditions do not apply to coarse grains, nor indeed to any grain other
than wheat. In my opinion, the effective date of the judgment ought not to be post-
poned having regard to these commodities.
The Board's judgment was issued on December 26, 1917. It was then made public,
and the parties to the issue were advised as to the action of the Board. The judg-
ment was given the fullest publicity by the press. 22 Can. Ky. Cas. 49.
Under the Railway Act, tariffs may be filed by the railway companies of their
own motion, or may be directed by the Board; and the Board in directing tariffs to
be filed may designate the date at which any tariff will come into force.
In view of all the circumstances, railway companies ought to file the necessary
schedules and tariffs to take effect not earlier than the 1st day of February next.

108 BAILWAT COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADX
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
Be PROPOSED INCREASE IN CAR MINIMUM ON CARS FOR PEDLAR CAR SERVICE OF PACKING-
HOUSE PRODUCTS.
As a result of a complaint made to the Board by the Canadian Manufacturers
Association, the Board suspended certain tariffs in Eastern Canada increasing the
car minimum for refrigerator cars used in what is called the Pedlar Car Service for
packing-house products, from 9,000 to 15,000 pounds.
It appeared from the evidence that an arrangement had been made between the
Canadian Freight Association and certain packing houses, that the railway companies
would supply refrigerator cars for the transportation of fresh meats, dressed poultry,
packing-house products, butter and eggs, from packing-house centres like Toronto and
Hamilton to points in a direct run on a railway line, at the published Icss-than-carload
rates, provided the shipper paid an amount at least equal to the second-class rates ou
6,000 pounds to the farthest point for which a consignment was shipped in the car.
This arrangement was not provided for by tariff.
It also appeared that the pedlar-car system was one of considerable benefit to the
packing-house operators. The railway companies in justification of their desire to
increase the minimum asserted ihat with the increased demand for car service through-
out the coimtry and the particularly urgent demand for refrigerator cars to transport
foodstuffs to the seaboard for overseas consumption, they could not spare as many
cars for this pedlar-car service as were then being used by the packers, and they sub-
mitted that if the minimum were icreased the packers would put a bigger load in each
car and in that way use fewer cars. In addition to this, there is the general movement
among the shippers, as well as railway companies, to economize in car service by
increasing loads. This Board has in a number of instances recogniised the wisdom
of more compact loading by authorizing increases in carload minima.
From the evidence submitted at the hearing it was clear that the shippers of
packing-house products had not been as economical as they might have been with
refrigerator cars.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, January 17, 1918,
concurred in by Deputy Chief Commissioner Nantel and Commissioners McLean and
Boyce, that if the shippers wished to insist on the use of the cars in question in the
future, that the railway companies were entitled to an increased reventie from them
and that the minimum should be increased to 12,000 pounds.

Ee APPORTIONMENT OF COST OF WIDENING BRIDGE CARRYING LONDON STREET OVEB
CANADIAN PAanC RAILWAY, WINDSOE, ONT.
The Board by its Order No. 25052, dated June 13, 1916, directed the Canadian
Pacific Railway Company to widen the existing bridge at London street in the city
of Windsor to a width of 56 feet. Sixty-five per cent of the cost of the work was
placed on the railwa.y, and 35 per cent on the applicant (city of Windsor) or the
Sandwich, Windsor and Amherstburg Eailway Company, as might be determined by
the Board after reading any submissions the Sandwich, Windsor and Amherstburg
Railway Company, and the applicant might desire to make on the apportionment of
the said 35 per cent of the cost of the work. 21 Can. Ry. Cas. 66.
The city of Windsor and the Sandwich, Windsor and Amherstburg Railway
Company submitted facts and argument in writing on the question of the proper
apportionment of the 35 per cent of the cost of widening the bridge, mentioned in the
Order, between them.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, January 26, 1918,
concurred in by Comnftssioners McLean and Boyce, that the 35 per cent referred to
in the said Order should be paid by the city of Windsor.
Re CAHL0.\D MINIMUM TAN BARK.
The Canadian Pacific Railway Company by Supplement 8 to its TarifF C.R.C.
33225, and the Grand Trunk Eailway Company by Supplement 1 to its Tariff C.R.C.
E.3477, effective May 21, 1917, made certain increases in their minima on tan bark
in carloads.
The tanners' section of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association applied to the
Board for cancellation of the Supplements in question and asked that the carload
minima that were effective prior to the increase be re-established.
Held, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott in his judgment, February 5, 1918,
concurred in by Deputy Chief Commissioner Nantel and Commissioners McLean,
Goodeve and Boyce, that it would be reasonable to allow 28,000 pounds as the minimum
for the standard car, and that an increase in the minima of the cars in question
should be for cars 30 feet 6 inches and under, 21,000 pounds; and for cars over 30
feet 6 inches and not over 34 feet 6 inches, 23,000 pounds. Held, further, that the
increases should only apply in cases where there is a special tariff in effect.
In re proposed charge of bell telephone company for calls between north
GOWER, KEMPTVILLE, AUD SOUTH MOUNTAIN CENTRALS.
It appeared that the Bell Telephone Company had, for many years, carried on
business at Kemptville, and that in 1912 it purchased and took over the Heckston
Rural Telephone Company which served the territory adjacent to South Mountain
where the Bell Telephone Company had a central office; that ever since the Bell
Telephone Company took over the Heckston Company there had been a free inter-
change between Bell subscribers on the South Mountain Exchange and Bell sub-
scribers on the Kemptville Exchange.
Complaint was made to the Board by those served by the Bell Telephone Company
through its centrals at Kemptville, South Mountain and North Gower, against a
charge of ten cents by the Bell Telephone Company for connection between these
centrals.
Held, Assistant Chief "Commissioner Scott in his judgment, February 8, 1918,
concurred in by Deputy Chief Commissioner Nantol and Commissioner Goodeve,
that the subscribers in question had no right as a strict matter of law to the con-
110 RAILWAY COMMISSlOyERS FOR CANADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
tinuance of the free interchange that had been enjoyed. Held further, however, that
there was undoubtedly representation made by the Bell Telephone Company that free
interchange should be given, and that there was a moral obligation on the company to
maintain that free interchange for a reasonable time and under reasonable conditions,
and that the change proposed should not be permitted to be brought about on the
short notice given by the Bell Telephone Company to its subscribers, and the Board
decided that the charge for interchange was not to become effective until January 1,
1919, and that on that date any subscriber of the Bell Telephone Company, on the
three exchanges under consideration, should be permitted to be relieved of his contract
whether it expired or not.
Re EXPRESS RATES ON CRE.4M IX BRITISH COLUMBIA.
Complaints had been made to the Board regarding the express rates on cream
in British Columbia as compared with the rates charged in Alberta. Complaint was
made by Mr. S. P. Pond of the Beechnut Creamery of Nelson, B.C., stating that the
rates of the Dominion Express Company were excessive. It wJs said that the regular
merchandise rate was charged on cream shipments, which made the charges too high.
Comparison was made with the rates charged by the Great Northern Express Company.
It was said that these rates were much more favourable than those charged by the
Dominion Express Company and were available for shipments into Nelson. The
applicant desired to have the same rates apply on the movement into Nelson over the
Dominion Express Company's lines as applied on the Great Northern Express
Company's lines. The Dominion Express Company, in its answer, pointed out that
the applicant was in error in stating that the merchandise rates were those which
applied on cream by it, and detail was given as to its cream tariff in British Columbia.
This matter is subsequeiltly referred to.
A hearing in this matter took place at Revelstoke, B.C., in Jime, 1915. The
applicant was unable to be present but submitted a written statement again
emphasizing comparison with the rates charged by the Great Northern Express
Company. The Dominion Express Company, in its answer, stated that the rates
charged by the Great Northern Express Company were rates which applied to lines of
that company in the Western portion of the United States; that these lines extended
a few miles across the border into Canada touching some Canadian points; and that
the same rates were extended to these points. The Dominion Express Company took
the position that it could not afford to meet the competition of these rates and was not
obligated to meet competitive rates.
Subsequently when the mjitter was taken up by further correspondence with the
applicant ho stated that he was going out of business, but that the matter was going
to be gone into further by the Nelson Board of Trade. The Nelson Board of Trade
Thereafter wrote, setting out in detail comparisons of the Great Northern Express
rates on business up to 75 miles with those charged by the Dominion Express
company. The Board of Trade was aiipnrontly under the impression that the tariff
as charged by the Great Northern Express Company was one which had been imposed
upon it by the Board; and the question was asked whether the intention of the Board
in imposing the tariff in question on the Great Northern on business to points in
Canada was to impose a tariff on that company which would not be upplicablo to all
express companies doing business in Canada. Specific rates were referred to which
required, aside from the question of principle involved, checking by the express
company, and this checking was taken up. _
Held by Commissioner McLean in his judgment, February 8, 1918, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, that giving due weight to the difference in
transportation conditions as recognized in the decision of tlu- Board and the amended
REPORT OF THE COilillSSIOXERa . Ill
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
tariffs imulemeiitinK these decisions, it did not appear that the Board would be
justified in directing that the reduction in rates asked for should be made.
Held, further, that with regard to the application that had been made for a
200-mile distance, that if it was the desire of the e.xpress company to continue with
the application, it would have to be heard at such points in British Columbia as will
enable the parties vitally interested to submit their positions. ,

Where no negligence has been shown on the part of the railway company in
carr.ying out the construction of drainage works, and the damage, if any, is due
solely to reasonable exercise by the company of the powers conferred upon it, the owner
of adjoining lands cannot recover compensation. Such an injury should have been
foreseen and compensation claimed for it under the statute at the time the railway
was constructed. Under the circumstances, the cost of lowering a railway culvert
after construction to provide better drainage should be borne by the adjoining land

COMPLAIXT OF THE WALKERTON EGG & DAIRY CXJMPANY, WALKF.RTOX, OXT., AGAINST THE
CANADIAN AND DOMINION EXPRESS COMPANIES.
Complaint was made to the Board by the Walkerton Egg & Dairy Company, of
Walkerton, Ont., per Messrs. Robertson & McNab, against the Canadian and Dom-
inion Express Companies overcharging five cents on each can of cream shipped from
stations where the express companies have no collection and delivery service.
By the Board's Order No. Ii594, of August 21, 1911, clause 1, sub-clauses (a) to
(c) inclusive, provided as follows: —
"(a) The above charges include the delivery of filled cans and the collec-
tion of empties for the dealer at all points where the e.tpress company furnishes
a collection and delivery service for other goods.
"(6) In the case of shipments by a dealer, if filled cans are collected by an
express company and shipped to a place where the said company does not f urnisli
a collection and delivery service, or any kind of goods the above charges will
apply.
"(c) In places where a collection and delivery service is not furnished by
the express company, -the charges, except as in subsection (b) shall be 5 cents
per can less than the above rates."
These provisions, subject to the inclusion of the name of the specific express com-
pany concerned, are set out in the special local cream tariffs of the express companies
issued as a result of this Order, e.g., the Dominion Express Company's Tariflf C.R.C.
No. 4405, effective March 9, 1914.
The application as made refers to rule 2 of the express tariff, rules 1 to 3, inclus-
ive, of the tariff embody the provisions set out in sub-clauses (o) to (c), inclusive,
above referred to.
The contention was: —
"The express company does furnish a "collection and delivery service'' in
Walkerton, but they receive cream which is .'^hipped liere from a number of
places where the express company has not a collection and delivery service;
nevertheless the Walkerton Egg & Dairy Company have been paying the full
rate for several years.
"They contend that clause 2 does not apply to these cases because there is
a collection and delivery service at Walkerton to where the cream is shipped,
but none at the place at which the cream i.i delivered for shipment to them."
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, March 5, 191S, concurred in by
,\ssi9tant Chief rommis<iionpr Scott, Deputy Chief Commissioner Nnntel, and Com-
missioners Goodeve and Boyce, that where there is a collection service at the initial
point or delivery serv-ice at the terminal point, which latter service ipxo fnelo obligates
the expresus company to give a collection and delivery service for the cream dealer, tlio
inclusive cbnrge applies; that where there is no collection at the point and no deli-
very and collection at the terminal point, then the deduction is provide*! for.

This was an application for cancellation of the clause in the Order bill of lading
approved of by the Board providing that the inspection of goods covered by the bill of
lading would not be permitted unless provided by law or unless permission was endorsed
on the original bill of lading or given in writing by the shipper.
It was pointed out that the existing hill of lading was approved by the Board after

COAL RATES. — FILE NO. 25547-14.
Judgment Chief Commisioner Drayton, March 15, 1918, concurred in by Assistant
Chief Commisioner Scott and Commissioner McLean.
This is a complaint from municipalities and users of coal in what is generally
referred to as the Waterloo County group. The city of Guelph also joins in the com-
plaint. A hearing has taken place, and the matter has stood pending a final decision
in the advanced rates case.
The whole question of coal rates is very diiBcult to adjust properly in the district
of Western Ontario, in view of the obvious water competition open to towns on the
lakes.
The complexity of the situation is in part covered by the judgment in the Eastern
Eates, pp. 178-187. In view of the fact that the whole situation is so much covered in
that case, I do not deem it advisable to give further grounds, but would simply adopt
the report of Mr. Hardwell, the Board's chief traffic officer, in which I fuUy concur.
20c— 8
114 RAILWAY COUillSSIOyERS FOR CAyADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
As a result of adopting the report, the different municipalities are placed on ns
close a basis of parity one with the other as. in my opinion it is possible to obtain.
ifr. Hardwell's report reads : —
'■ On the assumption that the new tariffs become effective on the l.'ith
instant, I now beg to report as follows: —
" The increase of 15 cents per ton in the Gait rate, raising it from 88 cents
to $1.0.3 per ton, affords a basis for realignment. Having regard to the rate to
Brantford, which was the real origin of the subsequent difficulties as explained
at page 182 of the Eastern Rates Judgment, I would not change this new Halt
rate. Gait is not one of the complainants.
" Preston and Hespeler formerly had the Gait rate, but wore advanced to 5
and 7 cents above Gait; distances 41 and 7-4 miles respectively. I would now
restore them to the Gait group.
" Guelph is 16-2 miles from Gait, and formerly took the same rate; but the
judgment placed it at 11 cents over Gait. I would reduce this difference to 5
cents, so as to make the new rate $1.08 instead of $1.14.
" I am unable to see my way to recommending any change to Kitchener.
It is true that it also enjoyed the same rate as Gait, although the extra mileage
27-7. Both judgments place it at 11 cents higher, the new rate being $114.
Were this reduced, the same rate to Stratford would necessarily also have to be
reduced, Stratford being 8 miles nearer Black Rock, as well as to the interven-
ing towns of Petersburg. Baden, New Ilamburg, and Shakespeare and the
reduction would be reflected to St. Mary's and thence to London.
" Again, Woodstock has an advantage in distance of 21 miles from Black
Rock compared with Kitchener, so that as both have the same rate the same
reduction would follow to Woodstock and Ingersoll, and here, also would be
reflected to London.
" These examples show how the rates are inter-related and the extent to
which the tariff structure would be affected if all the requests were granted.
"Waterloo is but one mile branch line distance from Kitchener and has
always had the Kitchener rate. The new tariff continues this nrranirement.
" Elmira is 10 miles beyond Waterloo and is the terminus of the branch.
Its rate was formerly 10 cents over Waterloo, and the new tariff makes the
difference 11 cents, but the change is sn slight that I do not consider that the
tariff should be interfered with, particularly as the Canadian Pacific's Goderich
branch would be affected, not to speak of Fergus and Elora which are in the
same territory and with distances from Black Rock in their favour.
" Adjudication must, in my opinion, take locations and distances into
account, without undue regard to past voluntary practice. Clenrl.v, also, the
purpose of the last judgment of the Board should be kept in view, and the
extent to which that purpose would be voided by the ramifications T have referred
to. That with the exception of Guelph the complaining centreq nreiall in the
County of Waterloo has, I submit, no practical bearing on rate making.
" As regards the competition between the towns in this Waterloo County
group and the argument for equality of rates throughout, the reminder is not
needed that this Board and the Interstate Gommorce Commispion have repe.Tt-
edly held that it is not the province of reg\ilation to require commercial equality
to the disregard of distanees and routes.
"It wno contended that the distance to Kitchener shoiild be reckoned over
the ir>th District through Blnir and Doon as if the Grand Trunk had bridged
the Grand River at Gait, but that branch has no connection with the main lino
at Gait, the traffic moving over the 22nd district through Preston to Guelph
Junction, and thence west to Kltehener.

" RE " EXPRESS RATES ON FISH.
It appeared that the Dominion Express Company had in the past made deliveries
of fish by cartage to consignees. By Suplement 11 to Tariff C.R.C. No. 4416 and
Supplement 6 to Tariff C.it.C. No. -MS", effective January 15, 1016, the company
sought to cancel all cartage delivery applying to fish moving in carload lots from the
Atlantic and the Pacific.
The Board, by Order pf suspension numbered 24628, suspended these supplements,
with the result that the company has been forced to continue delivery of. fish as in the
past.
The company seeks to sustain its action in cancelling delivery, in view of the fol-
lowing facts: —
1. That the rates from the Pacific to eastern citJfes are extremely low, and
were rates forced by competition.
2. That these rates, competitive as they are, compare with rates in American
territory -which do not include the cartage delivery service for fish moving in
carload lots.
3. That it was never intended by the express companies to make cartage
deliveries of fish handled in carload lots.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment, March 15, 1918, concurred
in by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, Deputy Chief Commissioner Nantel and
Commissioner Goodeve. that the suspensions under the Board's Order No. 26428 sus-
pending the supplements in question be made absolute.
COMPL.MNT op THE WEST VIROrXIA PtTT.P & P.\PER COMPANY, AND OTHERS, " RR " R.\TES OW
PULPWOOD.
This was a complaint filed with the Board by the West Virginia Pulp & Paper
Company, requesting that an Order be issued disallowing, in so far as rates to Mech-
anicville, N.Y., were concerned, C.P.R. Tariff C.R.C. No. E-2847, effective September
10, 1914. and supplement thereto No. 7, effective November 1, 1915 (repeated in the
20c— Si
116 RAILWAY COMMISSIOXERS FOR CANADA
r GEORGE V. A. 1919
supplement 12 referred to in the application), applying on pulpwood from C.P.R.
points to various United States destinations, principally in eastern New York State.
Subsequently, by supplement 15, issued July 28, to take effect September 1, 1916,
the rates were increased 1 cent per 100 pounds from the territory west of Montreal
taking the routes via Ottawa or St. Polycarpe Junction, thence G.T.R. to Rouses Point,
N.y., where a connection is made with the Delaware & Hudson R.R.
Order No. 25262 issued August 16, 1916, suspending the last mentioned supple-
ment on the application of the West Virginia Pulp & Paper Co., the Ticonderoga Pulp
& Paper Co. of Ticonderoga, N.Y., and the New York & Pennsylvania Co., of Wills-
boro, N.Y., these two points, with Mechanicville, being, it was stated, practically the
only Delaware & Hudson points taking Canadian pulpwood. The Moutain Lumber
Co., of New York, subsequently intervened as complainants.
The present application is complementary to the decision of the Board in Inter-
national Paper Co. v. Q.T.R., C.P.R. , and C.N.R. Cos., 15 C.R.C.. 111. That case was
concerned with export rates on pulpwood from the territory east of what is involved
in the present application It was there recognized that the area in question was one
in which water competition had exercised a serious influence on rates. It was further
recognized that with the lessening of water competition the railways were within their
rights in bringing the rates up more closely to the normal conditions.
Held by Commissioner McLean in his judgment, March 16. 191S, concurred in
by Chief Commissioner Drayton, Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, Deputy Chief
Commissioner Nantel and Commissioner Ooodeve, that considering what had been
approved with respect to analogous commodities in single-line movements, the rates
on other forest prod\icts, and al.so the fact tliat, having regard to the pulp and paper
products, the Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk companies have no re-shipment
advantages and revenues accruing therefrom, the increase of 1 cent as provided for
in supplement No. 15 was not unreasonable.
Held, further, that in view of the time that had elapsed in connection with the
suspension of the tarifTs referred to, the parties applicant had had ample notice of the
effect of the tariffs; and that the movement concerned being an international one,
the filing requirements of the Interstate Commerce Commission had to be recognized.
Held, further, that subject to the requirements of the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion in this respect, revised tariffs might be filed with the Board within fifteen days
fn.m the date of the Order. £3 Can. Ry. Cas. 153.
CANADIAN RUBBER MANUFACTURERS VS. CANADIAN FREIGHT ASSOCIATION.
It would be unjust discrimination to authorize the shipment of rubber boots and
shoes in mi.xed carload lots at third-class tolls in competition with manufacturers
■who have not the same privilege of mixing their leather or felt boots with other
leather or felt commodities which are entitled to the same classfication in C.L. lota.
(!.L. tolls are only given for the purpose of mi.xing on account of the varied

Solid rubber tires with a minimum weight of 24,000 pounds, and pneumatic
rubber tires with a minimum weight of 16.000 pounds, wore both rated third class.

It is the duty of a rail carrier in the interests of the shippers to take the shorter.

Ladysmith transfer ought to be reduced to the mileage via the Esquimalt transfer to
Nanaimo, and the mileages of stations served by the Ladysmith transfer reduced in the
same manner plus the mileage from Ladysmith to destination.
The main question in this case relates to the terminal toll which represents the
toll quoted from points in eastern territory to those in western and vice versa, where-
the movement is open by water, or where the distance from water is so short that the
combination rail and water toll is lower than the regular all rail toll, the Board has
invariably held that carriers, in their discretion, may or may not meet water competi-
tion or competition of any form, and may elect to attempt to get business at small
remuneration or do without it altogether, subject to the qualification that when com-
petition is met the competitive toll should be extended to all points in a common
district where similar oijerating and traffic conditions obtain. The volume of traffic
moving by water into Nanaimo being very small as compared with that into Victoria,
conditions are dissimilar, there is no unjust discrimination. ^

OOMPLAIKT OF R. W. HANNAH, OF TORONTO, " RE " REFUSAL OF GRAND TRUNK RALWAY COM-
PANY TO APPLY SPECL4L MILEAGE TARIFF RATES ON POTATOES.
Complaint was made to the Board by R. W. Hannah, of Toronto, Ont., that the
Grand Trunk Railway Company refused to apply its special mileage tariff rates on
potatoes between its stations on shippers' circuitous routing. Under G.T.R. tariff
C.R.C. No. E-3642, rates are quoted on potatoes and flax seed. The tariff provides
that the rates as given apply " in straight carloads only, mileage basis to be used where
specific rates in force". Manifestly there is a clerical error and this should read
" where specific rates are not in force ". The tariff sets out rates for mileages up to-
500 miles. The tariff is also limited in scope to movements between Grand Trunk
stations; and it is provided that between common points the competing railways''
mileage will apply if shorter than distance by the Grand Trunk.
It was contended in substance by the railway that the tariff while quoted, in mileSj.
is in effect a station to station tariff always based on the shortest mileage. The-
- applicant contended that he had a right to a rate on the actual distance moved, regard'-
less of whether it was the shortest distance between the two points concerned.
Held, Commissioner McLean in his judgment, March 27, 1918, concurred in by
Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott and Commissioner Goodeve, that in order to
obtain advantage of the stop-off arrangement, the shipper must comply with the provi-
sions of Tariff C.R.C. E-2374; that the direct mileage Hawkestono to Montreal is •'iST
miles, and that the through rate was 20i cents ; that for the out of line haul of 55 miles
there was a charge of 2J cents, while for the "stop-off" there was a charge of 1 cent;
that the combination thus applying was 24} cents instead of the 25 cents claimed by
the applicant. 2k Can. Ry. Cas. 123.
Re APPLICATION OF THE LONDON & PORT STANLEY RAILWAY COMP.\Ny TO INCRF..\SE
STANDARD PASSENGER TARIFF.
This was an application made to the Board by the London & Port Stanley Railway
Company for authority to increase its standard passenger tariff from 2i cents per
mile to 3 cents per mile, and its standard freight tariff by 15 per cent. The Application
involved the extension of the advance allowed by the Board on the application of the
railways opoiated by steam for a general advance in rates to the electric lines.
113 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
No electric railway was party to that application, and the judgment of the Board
did not dcil with rates on electric lines as such. And this for very good reason — not
onN- was no application made for an increase, but one of the greatest items of increased
cost, namely, the item of coalj is entirely lacking in electric railways operated with
hydraulic power. The present applicant operates with Hydro power.
Some of the electric railway companies have, since the recent advance was allowed
tliL< steam lines, filed tariffs making similar advances in their rates. These tariffs have
b.-eu disallowed by the Board until the necessities of the electric lines were established.
The I^ndon & Port Stanley Railway Company has since filed its application, and
has submitted data reflecting its increased costs and the effect that the increased cost
fch"flule has had upon its operations. '
Xo other electric railway line in Eastern territory has as yet submitted to the
Board evidence on which an increase of rates could be justified.
While the London & Port Stanley Railway does not apply on behalf of itself and
all other (.iectric railway companies, that company, operating as it does in a densely
populated part of the province, and being without unprofitable mileage confining its
operations between terminals already developed, could well be taken as an electric line
which should show in the highest degree, having regard to the character of its equip-
ment, the economies of electric railway operation.
The manager and treasurer of the company, which is operated for the city of
London by a commission, has filed statements showing the increase in the rate of
wages of conductors, motormen, and train men, as between July 1, 1915, and January 1,
1918, amounting to an average increase of 33-421 per cent. Increases approximating
a similar percentage advance are shown to be tj-pical and applicable to most of the
employees.
Comparative prices of supplies as filed by the London & Port Stanley Railway
Company show a state of affairs practically the same as the E.xhibits filed by the steam
railway companies in their case, the percentage increase being very heavy, in some
instances, take for example rails, running as high as 166-363 per cent.
The commission however, does show that it has in the past earned its fixed charges
on the old rates, but it is insisted by it that the city is entitled to a greater return than
one-quarter of 1 per cent dividend on the monies invested in the electrification scheme.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment, March 28, 1918, concurred
in by Commissioner McLean, that the figures and statements submitted by the appli-
cant company made absolutely clear their necessity for greater revenue, assuming
always that the railway is to be treated as a commercial venture and to be maintained
without loss to the London ratepayer, either in connection with its operations, or what
in the long run is much worse, depletion of the property assets owing to undue econo-
mies and scamped maintenance.
Held, further, that the increases awarded should be temporary and only to apply
while the present abnormal and excessive costs prevail.
Held, further, that similar relief would be extended to any other electric line
that satisfied the Board that its operation and financial condition were such as to
require relief. Si Can. Ry. Cos.
APPLICATION OF THE OITY OF MCTORIA AND THE ATTORNF.Y OENKRAI. OF TUF. PnOVIXCE OF*
BRmail COLUMBIA "re" ACCESS OVER THE ESQUIMALT AND NANAIMO RAILWAY
BRIDGE.
This was an application made by the municipal council of the city of Victoria and
of the attorney general of the province of British Columbia for a declaration from the
Board as to the rights of the city to access over the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway
bridge across a portion of the Victoria harbour; and the application of the Esquimalt
and Nanaimo Railway Company for approval of i)liui .thowing proposed replacement
of Victoria swing bridge, Victoria harbour, B.C.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 119
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
The application was previously before the Board at a sittings held in Victoria
on Tuesday, June 5, 1917. The case was not then concluded, but council were given
the liberty of filing further submissions, having regard to the liability of the railway
company as alleged by the city on the one hand, and the jurisdiction of the Board to
consider the complaint on the other.
In addition to this, the matter seeming to be one eminently for adjustment between
the parties rather than a matter which could be dealt with at the time under an
Order of the Board, directions were given that the partiefe should confer and endeavour
■to come to a compromise. The question of the liability of the railway company in
respect of the bridge— the subject matter of the complaint — has been brought before
the Board on other occasions.
Negotiations have taken place, but, the parties having failed to arrive at any
adjustment, the city is desirous that the matter should be dealt with by the Board
without further delay.
Not only is the application an unusual one, but is attended by very unusual cir-
cumstances. The tracks of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Company enter the
city of Victoria by means of a swing bridge constructed from the then Indian
reserve across a portion of the Victoria harbour to the property of the railway com-
pany in the city and constituting the company's terminals.
The bridge was built by the railway company under the authority of an Order
in Council approved August 26, 1887, reading as follows:—
" The committee of council have had under consideration an application
of Mr. R. Dunsmuir, on behalf of the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Com-
pany, for the approval of the plan and description of a certain swing bridge
proposed to be constructed across a portion of Victoria harbour, B.C., on the
line of the said railway, to accommodate both railway and highway traffic."
" The Minister of Public Works, to whom the said application was referred,
reports : —
" That the bridge will to a certain extent hinder the free use of the upper
portion of the harbour, which, however, is not of such importance as the lower
portion ;
" That it appears, by a resolution passed by the municipal council of Vic-
toria, that there is not any objection on the part of the civic authorities to the
construction of the bridge, on the proposed site;
" That the harbour of Victoria is, owing to a want of depth, only available
for vessels of comparatively small size and draught;
" That the site selected by the company for the bridge leaves the best por-
tion of the harbour free and accessible at all times for such vessels and craft
as can enter;
" That the bridge will not obstruct in any way the use of that portion of
the harbour; and
"That he sees no objection to its being built inasmuch as a proper draw
has been provided for."
" The Minister of Public Works therefore recommends that permission be
granted to the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway Company to build a railway
and highway bridge across a portion of Victoria harbour, B.C., as per plan
hereto annexed."
" The committee concur in the foregoing report of the Minister of Public
Works and submit the foregoing recommendations for your Excellency's ap-
proval."
The plan annexed to the Order in Council and approved thereby allowed the con-
struction of a bridge similar to the bridge which has in fact been erected. In its
caption it is headed : — ■^

ESQUIMALT & NANAIMO RAILWAY. B.C.
" PL.\K OF PROPOSED SWING BIUDGE ACTROSS \aCTORU HARBOUR."
The bridge section shows, in the first instance, an 18-foot space in which is shown
a single track line of railway and extensions 4 feet in width on either side.
The city in the present application, contends that the railway company became
bound to construct a railway, foot, and vehicular bridge, which were to be free to the
public forever and to bring the terminus of the railway within the limits of the muni-
cipality.
The city claims, in tide first instance, that the company is so bound by agreement ;
and, in the second instance, that it is bound by estoppel.
No agreement whatever was produced, but the city has put in evidence the follow-
ing resolution of the city council passed at its meeting held on June 29, 1887 : —
"Whereas this council has heard with pleasure the report of his worship
the mayor to the effect that ilr. Dunsniuir, president of the Esquinialt &
Nanaimo Railway Co., has announced that it is the intention of his company to
construct across the harbour of Victoria a railway, foot, and vehicular bridge
which shall be free to the public forever and to bring the terminus of the said
railway within the limits of this municipality."
" Be it therefore resolved that the thanljs of this council be tendered the
railway company, through Mr. Dunsmuir, for their liberality and that we are
of the opinion that the extension of the line to Victoria will confer a great boon
on the citizens thereof."
" Resolved that a copy of this preamble and resolution be transmitted to the
Dominion and provincial Governments and the president of the Esquimalt &
Nanaimo Railway."
" Seconded by coimcillor Pearce and carried."
And copy of letter sent to the Hon. Robt. Dunsmuir, July 6, 1887, by the proper civil
officials reading as follows : —
"I am directed by his worship the mayor, to enclose for your informiition.
cop.v of a resolution pas.scd at a regular niocting of the municipal councilof
this city on the 29th ultimo " — (The resolution is then set out).
Similar letters were at the same time sent to the Honourable the Minister of
Public Works, at Ottawa, and to the provincial .secretary, at Victoria.
The above resolution is doubtless the resolution which is referred to in the Order
in Council os abovff set out.
Held, Chief Commissioner Drayton in his judgment. March 30, 1918. concurred
in by Assistant Chief Commissioner Scott, Commissioners Goodeve ami Boyce, that
jurisdiction could not successfully be establi.shed in the Board, and that the matter
was, therefore, entirely one for the Department of Public Works to deal with.
Held, furflier, that if there was jurisdiction, the plan actually approved by the
Order in Council was a plan with but 18 feet space for railway occupation; and that
there was no space provided for a vehicular highway, and the ever-ruling interest of
public safety of itself would entirel.v negative the possibility of an Order allowing
vehicles to use in common the piece of the bridge in question with the railway.
Held, further, that before any Onlcr could be m.Tde by tiio IJonrd the plans of the
new structure would have to be submitted to the Deparlment of Public Works to enable
that Department U> satisfy itself as to the necessities of navigation at the present time.

REPORT OF TBE C0MUISSI0NEB8 121
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20o
COMPLAINT OK THE SWIFT CANADIAN COMPANY, LIMITED, OF WINNIPEG, MAN., re ALLOWANCE
ON BOX CARS.
This was a complaint concerned entirely with the Canadian Pacific's local move-
ment from the Union Stock Yards at St. Boniface, Man., to the Swift Canadian Com-
pany's packing-house on the east side of the Red River in the district known as Elm-
wood.
Supplement 1, effective May 21, 1917, to C.P.R. Switching Tariff C.R.C. No. W.
2251, of April 17, 1917, (both in effect when the hearing was held, although 'Six.
Ingram's quotations were from the previous tariff) shows a rate of 1 cent per 100
pounds minimum $5 per car, on livestock from the Union Stock Yards to abattoirs
situated on the C.P.R. tracks and C.P.R. stock yards at Winnipeg. It is obvious that
what is really meant is a flat $5 per car rate, since no carload of stock would weigh
.50,000 pounds.
If stock cars are not available and bo.x cars are substituted, the railway agent must
have some unit of measurement in order to prevent more animals being shipped than
could have been loaded in stock cars for the same charge; hence the ijrovision in the
company's Special Tariff of Rules and Regulations, C.R.C. No. W2139, quoted by Mr.
Ingram, as follows: —
" Whenever through shortage of stock cars for carload shipments of cattle
and horses, the car service department finds it necessary to supply bos cars in
lieu thereof, a sufficient number of box cars may be supplied to furnish carry-
ing capacity equivalent to the number of stock cars ordered, at the minimum
weights for stock cars required, actual weight if greater."
" In applying above authority, agents will use following scale as miximum
carrying capacity of stock car and draw way-bill for each Stock carload accord-
ingly :—
Cattle.— Beei cattle, 18 head. Yearlings, 35 head. Two-year olds, 26
head. Mixed cars of cattle of different ages (including cows), 22 head.
Horses. — Heavy, 17 head; medium, 19 head; light, 22 head.
Box cars in accordance with above will only be supplied on specific authority
of the car service department, reference to which will be noted on way-bills.
Agents must show clearly on way-bills what cars were ordered by shippers
and what cars supplied, such as — "one stock car ordered, two ' box cars
supplied."
The arrangement above set out as to eqiiivalent carrying capacity is stated by the
railway to have been in operation for some twenty years, under an arrangement with
western livestock shippers.
During the period e-xtending from October 26 to November 4, and owing to the
inability of the railway to supply livestock cars for the intra-terminal movement con-
cerned, the applicant had to use 71 box ears in the movement of cattle. *
Hold, Commissioner ]\rel.ean in his judgment, April .■?, 1018, concurred in by
Chief Commissioner Drayton, that the arrangement in respect of supplying equivalent
box car capacity where live stock cars are not available no longer applies on switching
movements, that it was abolished by the provisions of Item M of C.R.C. No. W. 2250,
which was effective before the date of the hearing but was not referred to at the bearing;
that the tariff under which application was made was explicit as to the IS head basis.
Had the Board been of opinion that 15 head was the proper basis on a switching move-
ment, then that this could only have been a direction for amendment of tariff as to the
future; and that the Board could not have made it retroactive. Held fui-ther that as the
tariff no longer permits as to switching movements — what is involved in the complaint —
that there is nothing on which to rule in connection with the application as launched.

APPENDIX " C."
REPORT OF CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER, GEO. SPENCER.
Jvdy 25, 1918.
Dear Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith, for the Boards Thirteenth
Annual Report, a synopsis of the work performed by its Operating Department during
the year ending- March 31, 1918.
THE REPORTING AND INVESTIGATING OF ACCIDENTS ATTENDED BY PERSONAL INJURY OR LOSS
OF LIFE.
During the year accidents to the number of of 1726, covering 333 persons killed
and 1,330 injured, were reported to the Board by the various railway companies under
its jurisdiction. For particulars, attention is directed to statements 1, 3 and 4.
Out of the total of 1,726 accidents reported as above referred to, accidents to the
number of 634 covering 223 persons killed and 892 injured, were enquired into.
Attention is directed to the fact that out of the total of 333 persons killed and
1,830 persons injured, there were trespassers to the number of 98 killed and 63 person?
injured. In this respect reference is made to statement 12.
It will be observed by referring to statements 2, 5 and 6, which are comparative
statements of the killed and inj(urcd, that there i- n decrease of 50 persons killed, and,
as regards injured persons, there is an increase of 137 as compared with last year.
The matter of highway crossing accidents, protection provided, etc., is set out in
statements 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Regarding the more prominent accidents during the past five years, same are
described in statement 14.
Statement 13 covers a ten-year period of all accidents to passengers, employees and
others, comparatively.
INSPECTION OF SAFBTY APPLIANCES ON FREIGHT CABS AND LOCOlIOTn'ES.
Details of the year's work are to be found in statements 15, 16, 17A and 17B.
INSPECTION OF MOTIVE POWER.
Duting the year 6,416 locomotives were inspected by this department. While a
number of defects were reported same were promptly remedied following the inspections.
Tlie monthly and annual inspection report forms for locomotives, numbering
appro.ximately 60,000 all told, have been carefully checked upon filing, and where
defects were shown necessary action was taken.
LOCOMOTIVE DROPPING CROWN SHEET.
I'nder this heading it is gratifying to note the small number of persons injured,
there being three (3) only employees injured. See second last heading on page 6 of
statement 4. The three crown sheet failures were the result of low water, no con-
tributing causes being found.

APPLICATIONS AND COMPLAINTS RE TRAIN AND STATION SERVICK.
A large part of the work of the department is the inquiring into. applications and
complaints in the matter of train and station service. These number several hundred

ment.
It might not be amiss to point out that a great deal of work, which would come
under this heading was done in connection with the movement of the western grain
crop and also in connection with the fuel situation in both Eastern and Western
Canada. Difficulties in transportation were brought about very materially by extremely
cold and stormy weather.'
In conclusion it might be stated that in order to accomplish the work briefly out-
lined above, it has necp-;-ir:it.-.l t}ir> travelling of ap)iroxini:itely ."^SO.noo mile? by the

APPENDIX • D."
KEPORT OF THE CHIEF FIRE INSPECTOR, CLYDE LEAVITT.
March 31, 1918.
A. D. Cartwright, Esq.,
Secretary, Board of Railway Commissioners,
Ottawa, Ontario.
Sir. — Herewith I beg to submit, for the thirteenth annual report of the Board,
the report of the Fire Inspection Department for year ending March 31, 191S.
^ The work of this department is more or les? directly concerned with all of the
32,524 miles of railway lines in Canada subject to the Board's jurisdiction. Of this.
11,757 miles, or 36 per cent, is classified as forest sections, requiring the adoption
of special patrol or other fire protective measures indicated in General Order No.
107. There are 12.228 miles, or 37 per cent of the total, in prairie sections, in the
three prairie provinces, subject primarily to the Board's fire guard requirements. Of
lines in settled districts, or non-forested lands, apart from the foregoing, there are
9,014 miles, or 27 per cent; here the special requirements are at a minimum, due to
-the relatively low fire hazard which exists.
ORGANIZATION.
During the past year, seventy-eight officials of the Dominion and provincial
forestry and fire-protective organizations acted as local officers of this department, as
follows : —
British Columbia Forest Branch 34
Dominion Parks Branch •>
Dominion Forestry Branch ''
Department of Agriculture of Alberta 3
Fire Commissioner's Department of Saskatchewan 2
Forestry Branch of Ontario 1'
Forest Protection Branch of Quebec , 9
Department of Lands and Mines of New Brunswick C
RAILWAY FIRE PATROLS.
The special patrol requirements are now largely standardized, so that little varia-
tion is required from year to year. Such requirements are applicable to linos running
through forest .'teetions, where the fire hazard is relatively high. Due to war condi-
tions, considerable difficulties were experienced by some of the companies in securing
sufficient numbers of competent men for this work. Some trouble was also experienced
in securing deliveries of power speeders, velocipedes, spare parts, and other necessary
equipment.
FIRE STATISTICS.
Climatic conditions largely govern the forest fire situation, the fire hazard
increasing in ratio to the periods of drought experienced. During 1917, Eastern
Canada did not have drought periods of long duration, while in the West, particularly
in British Columbia, this situation was reversed.
In British Columbia the fire hazard was highest south of the railway bolt, was
average up to the 53rd parallel, and below normal north of that line. The hazard was
highest in the month of July when temperatures and wind velocity were high and
REPORT OF TBE COMlilSSIONERa 155
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
precipitation low. Of the praiifl total of railway fires reported for the Dominion,
59-52 per cent occurred in British Columbia; these fires burned over 2S-T3 per cent
of the total area, and did 21-85 per cent of the total damage reported for fires along
railway lines subject to the Board's jurisdiction througrhout the Dominion.
The fire hazard in Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta was highest during ilay,
when 83 fires occurred along railway lines, this being approximately 51 per cent of
the total, for these provinces, for the season. The hazard rose again in July, when 42
fires occurred.
In the western portion of Ontario, the hazard was high for a short period in May
and during the early part of June. Throughout the rest of the season, and in the
eastern portion of the province, conditions were very favourable and at no time during
the season was the hazard serious.
The hazard in Quebec and the Maritime Provinces was at no time above normal
and the season was favourable for fire protection.
During the season of 1917, 1,097 fires were reported as having originated within
300 feet of railway lines, subject to the Board's jurisdiction. Of these, 7684 per
cent are definitely attributed to railway agencies, 7-84 per cent to known causes other
than railways, and 15-32 per cent to unknown causes. Of the total area burned over,
amounting to 74,234 acres, 36-73 per cent is chargeable against the railways, 14-24
per cent to known causes other than railways, and 49-03 per cent to unknown causes.
The total damage done is estimated at $105,668. Of this, the railways are definitely
charged with 24-43 per cent, while 12-83 per cent of the damage is due to known
causes otlier than railway, and 62-69 per cent to unknown causes.
It will be noted that while the railways are directly charged with 76-84 per cent
of the total number of fires, these fires covered only 36-73 per cent of the total area
burned and did only 24-43 per cent of the total damage. In addition, some of the
fires of unknown origin were no doubt due to railway causes.
Of all fires reported, the causes are as follows: —
Locomotives 72'65 per ceni
Railway employees 4"19 "
Tramps, etc 2*00 "
Settlers 4-47
Other l<nown causes 1'37 "
Unljnown causes 1,5"32

REPORT OF THE COMitlSSJOSERS

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 20c
I.N'SPECTION OF FIRE PROTECTIVE APPLUN'CES ON MCOMOTIVES.
Inspectors in this department examined fire protective appliances on 973 loco-
motives, operating in forested territory. Of these, 20 per cent were fovind defective.
In most cases, the defects were of a minor character. This work is handled under a
co-operative arrangement with the Operating Department, and supplements the work
of that department.
FIKE GUARD STATISTICS.
During the past year there were 14,188-13 miles of track subject to the board's
jurisdiction in the three prairie provinces, an increase of 258-&4 miles over 1916.
Since fire-guard mileage is double the track mileage, this represents 28,376-66 fire-
gmard miles, of which, however, a portion is in forest sections, where fire-guard con-
struction is impracticable.
The following statistical summary shows that 10,994-26 miles of fire guards were
constructed or maintained during the past year, while, for various reasons, 17,332-40
miles were not constructed. Of this, 7,899-44 miles were exempted by this department,
on the basis of specific showing made that fire-guard construction is impracticable
or unnecessar.y. A total of 6,516-21 miles were not constructed for the several
specific reasons indicated in the table, and accepted as relieving the railway com-
panies of responsibility for the construction of fire guards. This leaves 2,966-75
miles not definitely accounted for, and includes the mileage which should have been
constructed but was not, largely due to the labour shortage.

' Fire guard mileage is double the track mileage, since the construction of fire guards is required on
both sides of the track.
2 Company exempted from fire guard construction, as to portions of line where showing made that
such construction is unnecessary or impracticable.
" Employees of railway company refused permission, by owner, to enter upon land for purpose of con-
structing fire guards.
* Fire guarding unnecessary, because fields already plowed.
' Fire guarding in grain stubble and in cultivated hay lands required only where the land owner or
occupant would undertake to plow guard at the reasonable price specified by the Board.

FIRE ClARDs.
The fire guard requirements issued for 1917 were substantially identical with
those prescribed in 1915 and 1916. An additional clause was, however, included under
section E, "Additional Provisions," drawing attention to regulation 8 (g) of General
Order No. 107, re closing of gates and the cutting and leaving of fences down by
railway companies' agents, employees, and contractors.
With the idea of facilitating experiments looking toward a reduction in the cost
of fire guard construction and maintenance, and after taking the matter \ip fully with
all concerned, authority was granted the Canadian Pacific, Grand Trunk Pacific, and
Canadian Xorthern Railways to handle the fire-guarding of wild lands, along certain
of the more northerly lines of these companies in the prairie provinces, on the basis of
an eight-foot plowed strip instead of a sixteen-foot plowed strip, supplemented by
special attention to the burning of dry grass and weeds between the fire guard and
the track. These experiments will be continued during the ensuing year.
COMPLAINTS re FIRE GUARDS.
During the past year five specific complaints were received re the construction
and maintenance of fire guards, as follows : —
Fire guards not established in accordance with fire-guard re«iuircments: C.P.R.,
one; G.T.P., one.
Xon-payment of land owner by railway company for plowing guards in grain
stubble land, imder clause 2, section A, of fire guard requirements: C.N.R., one.
Two applications were received from railway companies under clause 4, section C,
fire guard requirements, for permission to enter upon lands to plow fire guards, in
cases where the land owner had refused permission to the company for such construc-
tion. One such application from the G.T.P. Ry. was refused, on the basis that fire
guard construction was not necessary in the public interest. One other such application
made by the C.X.R. was granted under Order Xo. 20.829, dated December 14, 1917.
RIGHT OF WAY CI.EARIXC.
The acute shortage of labour has, in many eases, unavoidably interfered with
right of way clearing, under section 297 of the Railway Act.

Foot Boards on locomotives used in joint yard and frarisfer service.
Ottawa. April 24, 1917.
The question has been raised as to whether a road locomotive used in joint yard
and transfer service should be equipped with foot-boards, as outlined in general
order No. 102.
Railway companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Board, are hereby instructed
that all locomotives used in yard, joint yard and transfer service must be equipped
with foot-boards, as prescribed for steam locomotives used in switching service.

:Mav 12. 1917.
The Board requires that railway companies, subject to its jurisdiction, shall
make a report to the Chief Operating- Officer of the Board at Ottawa, on the first
and l.">th day of each month, on the condition of the car supply on their respective
lines, giving the information called for on the attached forms, in the order and fumi
as set forth therein.
By Order of the Board,
A. D. CARTWRIGIIT,
Secretary.

Car Movements and Efficient HandVuvj.
Tile No. 28192.
September 19, 1917.
War conditions interfere witL car movements. The weather conditions of winter
last year increased the congestion, and the coming winter may repeat this. Additional
freight cars can be obtained only witli great difficulty. Prompt deliveries of new
rolling stock do not exist.
If each freight ear does more work the difficulty can be faced and overcome. A
freight car saved is a freight car gained for extra service. More service per car equals
more cars in service. If all shippers load to full capacity or better, to 110 per cent
when practicable, car shortage will largely disappear.
Eailways by cutting out road delays and by improved handling in terminals can
make each car do more work.
Prompt and heavy loading of cars gives more service per car. So also does prompt
release of cars. Consignors and consignees are interested in getting cars. Their
co-operation in efficient car handling will help not only others but themselves as well.
A. D. CAETWEIGHT,
Secretary.
CIRCULAR Xo. 155.
ilotcr Accidents at Level Crossings.
Ottawa, October 15, 1917.
In view of the increasing number of accidents at level crossings in Ontario to
persons travelling in motors, the Board desires that a discussion should be had, in
which the different motor associations, municipalities, and railways interested should
take part, and the best possible methods and protection in the interest of public safety
be adopted.
166 RAILWAY COilillSSlOXERS FOR CA^ADA
9 GEORGE V, A. 1919
Without in any way limiting the discussion, the following questions should be
considered : —
1. The matter of the view from the highway of any approaching trains.
Factors to be considered from the motorist's standpoint are the speed and braking
efficiency of the motors having regard to the fact that the motor must be stopped after
the train is seen.
2. Whether or not there is any difficulty in seeing the standard railway
crossing sign from motors, and whether additional post signs on the road
would assist in obviating accidents, for example, warning posts placed at some
distance from the crossing, or posts placed in centre of the highway, about fifty
feet from crossing?
3. Wliether humps or hogs-backs should be placed on the road, so as to com-
pel motorists to bring down the speed of their cars to a rate at which they may
safely proceed?
4. Ought motors be brought to a stop before crossing?
.■). Bells or wig-wag signals — which are of the greater benefit to motorists?
6. Can any change be made in railway regulations which, without injuring
the efficiency of the public service, will promote safety?
7. Ought the regulation whistle signals be given closer to the highway, or
any change be made in the use of the signal or the bell ?
Written submissions may be sent by the post to the Board at Ottawa, and in
addition the matter may be spoken to at any meeting of the Board.

A. D. CARTWRIGHT.

Standardized Metal Warning Signs for Grade Crossings.
January 15, 1918
The Board's inquiry into a recent accident at a highway crossing protected by
a watchman brought out the fact that the occupanta of the automobile evidently
became confused in the signals given by the watchman.
The Board is impressed with the necessity of railway companies adopting some
standard signal other than the style of flag now in use by crossing watchmen.
Railway companies are, therefore, directed to consider the adoption of a metal
disc, 16 inches in diameter, having a white ground with t.l^ word "Stop" in large
letters in black thereon, filing tlicir comments with the Board within thirty days
of the date of this circular.

Standard distance between trach centres for construction of divisional points, terminal
sorting yards and sidings.
File No. 28290.
January 21, 1918.
The Board is considering the advisability of establishing a standard distance
between track centres for the construction of divisional points, terminal sorting
yards, and sidings, which will provide a safe and satisfactory clearance for the move-
ments of trainmen and yardmen in the performance of their duties.
Railway companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Board are requested to file
their views upon the matter within thirty days from this date, stating what clearance,
in their opinion, would provide the necessary room between moving cars for the men
referred to while carrying on their work.

Heating of waiting rooms at railway stations where there is no night staff.
Tile 28281.1.
February 11, 1918.
Railway companies subject to the jurisdiction of the Board are directed to show
cause, within thirty days of the receipt of this circular, why an Order should not issue
requiring all companies, at agency stations where there is no night staff, to open
station waiting rooms and, when necessary, provide heat and light, at least thirty
minutes prior to the scheduled arriving time of all passenger trains and to keep the
waiting rooms open until the departure thereof, irrespective of whether the trains are
on schedule time or not.

Fire Extinguishers in passenger cars on electric raihvay lines.
Case 1858.
February 25, 1918.
The Board is considering the advisability of requiring electric railways subject
to its jurisdiction to provide fire extinguishing apparatus in passenger-carrying cars,
including therein combination cars, if any.
Electric railway companies are therefore directed to show cause within thirty
days of the receipt of this circular, why such a requirement should not be made
effective.

It is ordered: That the following regulations for the Uniform Maintenance of
Way Flagging Rules for Impassable Track, to become effective June 1, 1917, be, and
they are hereby, prescribed for the observance of every railway company within the
legislative authority of the Parliament of Canada.
RULES.
1. Before undertaking any work which will render the track impassable, or if
rendered impassable from any cause or defect, trackmen, bridgemen, or other
employees of the company shall protect the same as follows: —
2. (a) On double track; (6) on three or more tracks; (c) in mountain territory;
and (d) on all lines with frequent or fast train service, —
Send out a flagman in each direction with stop signals, at least —
1,500 feet in daytime, if there is no down grade towards the obstruction within
one mile, and there is a clear view of C,000 feet from an approaching train.
3,600 feet at other times and places, if there is no down grade towards the
obstruction within one mile.
5,400 feet if there is a down grade towards the obstruction within one mile.
The flagman must, after going the required distance from the obstruction to
ensure full protection, take up a position where there will be an unobstructed view of
him from an approaching train of, if possible, 1,500 feet, first placing two torpedoes
on the rail (not more than 200 or less than 100 feet apart), on the same side as the
engineer of an approaching train, 300 feet beyond such position. The flagman must
display a red flag by day and a red light by night, and remain in such position until
recalled or relieved.
3. On other lines, —
(a) By day place a red flag and, in addition, by night a red light, on the same
side of the track as the engineer of an approaching train at a point 600 feet from the
defective or working point, with two torpedoes placed on the rail opposite each other
so as to cause but one explosion, 150 feet in advance of the red signal, and provide
further protection as follows : —
(i/) By day place a red flag supported on two staffs with flag drawn out between
them, at right angles to the track and five foet above rail level; and, in addition, by
night, a red light — on the same side of the track as the engineer of an approaching
train, so that it will be clearly in his view, at least —
3,600 feet from the defective or working point, if there is no down grade
towards the obstruction.
5,400 feet if there is a down grade within one mile of the obstruction, or as
much farther as may be necessary to insure full protection.

and proceed to the working point, and there- be governed by signal or instructions of
the foreman in charge.
5. Trains stopped by red signal, as per rule 3, shall replace the torpedoes exploded
and proceed to the working point signal, and there be governed by signal or instruc-
