INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT
Otta-WA, September, 1928.
No doubt the most marked feature of the year, outside the customary
activities of the department, was the printing, binding and distribution of the
Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927. Important incidents affecting the depart-
ment were the amendment of the Pubhc Printing and Stationery Act with respect
to the King's Printer's advance account and the enactment of an important
reguhition governing the distribution of official documents.
The personnel of the establishment on December 31, 1927, was 692, a very
slight increase over the figures at the same date for any quite recent years. The
figures representing the number of employees of all classes stood as follows on
December 31 for each of the years named: —
1891 341. 1920 703
1901 oil 1921 730
1911 S61 1922 665
1915 1.160 1923 688
1916 1.240 1924 670
1917 1,300 1925 671
1918 1,169 1926 685
1919 1,134 1927 692
It should be noted that with respect to the establishment a new list of 691
positions was, with the co-operation of the Civil Service Commission, made
effective as from August 1, 1927. The old list of December, 1920, covering 705
positions, had become in the changes of eight years somewhat confused and
complicated; the new list of course is free from these objections. The numbers
printed above, as for December 31 in each case, include all positions, those
temporarily vacant and temporary appointments; for December 31, 1927, the
vacancies numbered eleven and the temporaries twelve, one in excess of the new
establishment.
"Within these figures for the total establishment there are of course many
groups, and several of these groups have undergone expansion or contraction
during recent years; in several cases also new groups have come into existence,
which had helped to confuse the old establishment list. Despite the maintenance
of the personnel at practically a standard figure there has been a "substantial
increase in production and in the activities generally of the department; the
gross cash, turnover of the fiscal year, $7,292,473.87, shows an increase over the
preceding year- of $820,422.73. The various branches of activities, including the
publication of periodicals, have had their share of expansion, an important addi-
tion to the number of regular publications being " The National Revenue
Review," a handsomely printed journal of approximately thirty-two pages, pub-
lished in both English and French.
Periodical Publications
A word generally as to the printing and publication of official periodicals
will not be out of place. These publications are many and various in character
and in frequency of issue, ranging from the Hansard and other parliamentary
documents published daily in English and French when Parliament is in session,
to weekly and monthly periodicals, and to the annual reports of the different
departments, these last being, however, somewhat outside of the " periodicals "
class proper.
5
6 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PRINTIXG AND STATIONERY
Of the various publications the Canada Gazette, the official gazette of the
Dominion Government, is alone edited within the department itself, under the
authority of the King's Printer; it is issued on Saturday of each week,, with
special issues as occasion may require. This publication contains numerous
advertisements as to matters which by law are required to appear in its pages.
A special page of this present report gives information as to its revenue and
expenditure annually from 1874, the statement showing that for several years
past there has been an excess of revenue ranging between S35,000 and $50,000;
tliis year the excess reaches $50,536.28. The Canada Gazette is bilingual.
Other weekly publications are: Commercial Intelligence Journal, printed
for the Department of Trade and Commerce; Patent Record, printed for the
Patent and Copyright Office; the Egg and Poultry Review, printed for the
Department of Agriculture; Weekly News Letter, printed for the Department
of Immigration and Colonization.
The publication '' Judgments, Orders," etc., of the Board of Railway Com-
missioners, is issued fortnightly.
Of monthly periodicals there is a considerable list, the more important pub-
lications being as follows: (1) Agricultural Statistics, (2) Labour Gazette, (3)
Bank Statement, (4) Monthly Review of BiTsiness Statistics, (5) Coal Statistics
for Canada, (6) Canada Law Reports, for ten months only, (7) Health Bulletin,
(8) National Revenue Review. (9) Canadian Tuberculosis Bulletin, (10) Natural
Resources Intelligence Journal, (11) the Trade of Canada report, long published
as a monthly journal, was during the year converted to a quarterly.
]\Iany of these publications are issued in both English and French, and the
copies printed number well over a million. In some cases, as with the Canada
Law Reports, Railway Judgments, Postal Guide Supplements, Bank Statement,
Commercial Intelligence Journal, and the Monthly Review of Business Statis-
tics, the circulation is almost wholly on paid subscription. In the case of t|ie
Canada Gazette certain classes of officials receive copies free by statute, and
complimentary copies go to members of Parliament who so request; the circula-
tion is othens'ise on paid subscription. With respect to several publications the
distribution is free, or occasionally, as in the case of the Labour Gazette, there
is a nominal subscription. As stated, the Canada Gazette alone of these publi-
cations is compiled and edited in the department, but in many cases this depart-
ment undertakes the collection of subscriptions, the maint<}nance of the sub-
scription lists and the work of addressing and mailing, and our Distribution
Branch having been equipped with the latest modern devices for addressing and
mailing, there is a growing tendency on the part of otlier departments to realize
that this work can be performed here at a minimum of cost and to request this
department accordingly to act as distribution agent for them.
A statement printed in this report relating to the work of the Distribution
Branch shows that the total of publications received for distribution in English
and French, including parliamentary documents, annual departmental reports
and miscellaneous publications, is between four and five millions. These figures
(io not of course include copies distributed direct from the departments con-
cerned, and a considerable amount of distribution is still done in this way.
Distribution of Official Publications to Libraries
During the year an important departure was made with respect to the mat-
ter of distribution of pul)lic documents to libraries. In the past practically no
arrangement existed under which all important libraries might expect to receive
as a matter of course a copy of r>very official document of public interest. In some
cases the department issuing a publication distributed copies to a limited list of
libraries, and in otlier cases the dejiartment made no provision for libraries; nor,
under the practice, would lii)rarians have the opportunity of becoming aware,
ANNUAL REPORT, 1927-28 7
save by accident, of the publication of official documents which might be of par-
ticular importance to them, or, sometimes, from what department a particular
publication known to them by name might be obtained. Hence librarians would
frequently write to the King's Printer requesting copies of publications which
had become known to them, and as a rule would state their expectation of receiv-
ing a copy free of cost. Librarians, it may be remarked, have shared in the
illusion that the King's Printer holds large quantities of publications of all sorts
for distribution without charge to all applicants, or at least to all important
libraries. Properly speaking, there has never been any King's Printer's free list,
but lists received from the House of Commons and from the different depart-
ments, and mailed under the King's Printer's frank, have sometimes been inform-
ally designated as such. All such lists are actually controlled by the depart-
ment for which the King's Printer performs the distribution, but frequently the
King's Printer, on receiving these requests, has been able to arrange with the
department concerned to secure for an important library or other institution a
copy of the publication desired.
Librarians were much interested also in the volumes of sessional papers in
bound form formerly ordered by the House of Commons, and of which compli-
mentary sets were supplied to certain libraries and other institutions as well as
to some official personages. These volumes of sessional papers included the
annual reports of the various departments and other annual publications such
as the Estimates, Trade of Canada Report, etc. With the issue of these reports
for the fiscal year 1924-25 the authorities of Parliament ceased to order their
printing as sessional papers. Large libraries in Canada and a good many libraries
abroad, which had been on what had been regarded as an exchange basis with
the Parliamentary Library of Canada, had been for many years receiving these
volumes of bound sessional papers and were somewhat disturbed to learn that
the annual reports, etc., would no longer be printed in this form. Many com-
munications reached the King's Printer from leading librarians speaking of the
particular value in permanently bound form of the reports which had been
included in these volumes of sessional papers, and urging the desirability of such
reports being still if possible supplied in permanent binding to the libraries which
had received the earlier volumes.
After consideration it was found practicable to meet the needs of the libraries
by printing extra copies of annual departmental reports at the same time as the
original order was being executed and binding these copies, five or six to a volume
if the bulk permitted, as had been done with these reports when printed as ses-
sional papers, and in a style similar to that employed in the case of the earlier
volumes, thus permitting the series to be continued unbroken in contents and
general appearance. The total number of the reports concerned, English and
French and bilingual, was sixty-seven for the first year of printing, namely,
1925-26. Under P.C. 322, February 26, 1927, it was decided that it would be
to the advantage of Canada that public documents of the nature of these under
discussion should be, without charge and on application, supplied to the libraries
of legislatures and universities and to official persons or institutions of recognized
standing; of the annual reports for 1925-26 printed and bound in this form about
one hundred sets were supplied to such institutions, and a few copies remain in
reserve.
Consideration was given also to the request of many librarians that more
effective procedure might be if possible devised for the systematic distribution
free of charge to larger libraries in general of all important public documents,
and librarians themselves thus relieved of the necessity of making separate
application in each case to the King's Printer or to the department concerned
for a copy of a particular publication. The annual conference of the American
8 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING AND STATIONERY
Library Association, a body composed of tlie librarians of tlie United States
and Canada, was held in Toronto in July, 1927, and, shortly prior to the con-
ference, communications were received from officers of the Canadian com-
mittees of this body, referring to the difficulties outlined as above and asking
if the King's Printer or representative would attend a gathering of Canadian
delegates to the conference, at which the whole subject of the distribution of
official documents to the libraries of Canada might be discussed and a plan
devised for improving the situation. The King's Printer, by your instructions,
attended the conference and conferred with the librarians in attendance from
various parts of Canada. A special committee, selected from the Canadian
delegates, was appointed to take the matter up for discussion with the King's
Printer, and at the meeting of the committee a representative of the Library
of Congress at Washington, D.C., was present and indicated the policy pursued
by the United States Government with respect to the distribution of official
documents to public libraries. The outcome of the conference was reported
to yourself as minister, and as a result regulations were, on your recommenda-
tion, made by Council (P.C. 1471, August 4, 1927) which are believed to i)ro-
vide a remedy for the defects under which librarians had laboured with respect
to these matters.
The occasion afforded convenient opportunity for the improvement gener-
ally of procedure respecting the free distribution of official documents; the
scope of the regulation was accordingly extended beyond the range of library
necessities and it was planned to meet so far as possible requirements of all
official institutions and personages having special need of the official publica-
tions of Canada and to decide in what cases it would seem to be in the public
interest to have such official documents readily available.
The essential provisions of the regulation enacted are as follows: —
(1) A. That the King's Printer be instructed to send without charge to the Library of
Parliament of Canada six copies of each official publication of the Dominion of Canada (not
being of a confidential character) and one copy of each such publication to the following,
viz.: (a) the Under-Secretary of State for External Affairs; (6) the High Commissioner
for Canada in London; (c) the Canadian Minister at Washington, D.C.; (d) the Dominion
Archivist; (e) the libraiy of each provincial legislature; (/) the library of each university;
ig) Public Libraries of Canada, Grade 1 list; (/i) the Congressional Librarj-, Washington,
D.C.; (?) the Minister of the United States at Ottawa. Where, having regard to the fore-
going institutions and persons, the minister becomes aware that one copj"^ of particular
document is not adequate to the reasonable requirements of the institution or person con-
cerned, additional copies may be furnished so far as the stock of copies printed under this
regulation may permit.
B. One copy of any publication (not of a confidential character) may be sent on
application and without charge to institutions and persons as follows: (a) Public Libraries
of Canada. Grade II list; (6) Consuls-General in Canada; (c) Members of Provincial Gov-
ernments in Canada; (r/) Members of the Government of a division of the British Empire;
(e) a library of anj' legislature in any portion of the British Empire; (/) any library
outside of (I!anada which is known to have exchunge relations with the Library of the
Parliament of Canada; (y) any institution or person not included in any of the foregoing
classes and regarded by the minister as meriting such consideration, the number of names
in this group not to exceed ten with respect to any publication. It is believed that demands
from the various groups in this section will cover a wide range without bearing heavily
on any particular publication or class of publications, and will not materially increase the
number of documents printcil for free distribtilion; should the applications received from
such classes be in excess of the supply of cojiies jirinted for free distribution under thiel
regulation, the King's Printer .shall refer such ajiplications for the consideration of the
departments re.sjxctively concerned.
Under this regulation extra coi)ies of publications not of a confidential
character arc printed, and, save for a small number iicld in reserve, distributed
to the institutions and persons as indicated in the regulation. The regulation
became offectivc as from September 6, 1927, and from that date to the close of
the fiscal year there liad been printed 218 separate official publications of which
copies had been forwardcfl to institutions and personages named on the official
ANNUAL REPORT, 1927-28 9
lists. A complete statement of the distribution thus effected will be found in a
section of this report.
Special representations were received from the librarians also with respect
to the matter of catalogues or price-lists of the official publications of Canada,
and this subject also was considered at the Toronto conference. For some years
this department had issued a price-list with names and titles of such publica-
tions as are held for sale in its Distribution Branch, but the list did not include
the titles of publications not held here for sale. Certain other departments have
printed independent catalogues or lists of publications issued by them, and the
librarians, who may or may not receive these catalogues and the publications
named in them, represented that the general situation with respect to official
catalogues was somewhat confusing. It was decided therefore that the price-
lists wliich had been issued in the past by the King's Printer, naming simply the
publications held here for sale, should be enlarged to include the titles of official
publications of all kinds, whether or not copies were procurable from the King's
Printer. Some branches of the Government service, it should be observed, issue
publications which are much in the nature of propaganda, having usually an
intimate bearing on their work, as in the case of the Departments of Agriculture,
Immigration, Health, Mines, Labour, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, etc., and
the free distribution of such documents is controlled by the publishing depart-
ment, which is naturally in a position to exercise proper discrimination as to;
institutions or persons requiring them ; in some cases, as before stated, the King's
Printer acts as distributing agent. It was not regarded as practicable at the
present time to undertake in this 'department the preparation of a catalogue
which would comprehend the titles of all official publications now in print,
though this task may be at some time undertaken; in the meantime a catalogue
was prepared to include the titles of all official publications issued subsequent to
September 6, 1927, the date from which P.C. 1471 was made effective, and copies
of which would under that regulation be distributed to libraries, etc. Looking
slightly beyond the close of the fiscal year, it may be said that the catalogue
was issued in April, 1928, with the announced intention that monthly supple-
ments would follow.
RE\asED Statutes of Canada, 1927
The largest single undertaking of the year in the printing branch was, as
stated, that pertaining to the printing and binding of the Revised Statutes of
Canada. 1927. The statutes had not been revised since 1906. The work of
revision had been in progress for some years on the tmderstanding, as this depart-
ment was advised, that the revision would close with the statutes of the session
of 1926; in 1926 it was found desirable further to extend the revision so that it
would include the statutes of 1927. The work of composition on the Revised
Statutes was well advanced early in the fiscal year 1927-28, and it appeared
probable, as the year advanced, that the revised volumes would be available for
distribution by about the beginning of the session of Parliament, 1928. When
it became evident that this hope would be realized the revising body caused the
issue under date of December 22, 1927, of a proclamation declaring the Revised
Statutes of Canada, 1927, effective as law " on, from and after the first dav of
February, 1928."
The revised Statutes proper, without the index volume, comprised four
volumes, and distribution in English and French to members of Parliament,
judges, police magistrates, federal and provincial officials and public or other
bodies receiving the same by practice and under the governing regulations, pro-
ceeded during the months of February and March, large sales being made also
to the public. A final volume comprised appendices and index, but the prepara-
tion of the index is a work requiring considerable time and the publication of
10 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING AND STATIONERY
this volume was necessarily deferred, the oflficials engaged in the work of index-
ing suggesting August or September, 1928, as the probable date of publication.
The four volumes comprising the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927, contain
4,302 pages in 217 chapters, as compared with three volumes containing 2,959
pages in 155 chapters for the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1906. The index
volume, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1906, contained an additional 678 pages,
and with the proportionate increase for the larger index required for the Revised
Statute? of Canada, 1927, the total number of pages of the five volumes. Revised
Statutes of Canada, 1927, English, will be no doubt when completed in the
vicinity of 5,000, and the French edition somewhat in excess of that figure.
After careful inquiry as to the number of copies estimated to be necessary
to meet the requirements of all entitled to receive the statutes free and of mem-
bers of the bar and others who might be expected to purchase copies, it was
decided to print 6,000 sets in English and 1,500 sets in French. The distribu-
tion without charge required about 2,200 sets, and the sale during the first few
months was estimated to need approximately a somewhat larger number, leaving
aboui 1,500 sets for general stock. Demands on the quantity stocked will no
doubt be severe during the first few months but may be expected to decline
thereafter, rendering the stock in hand adequate to meet demands for some
time; the extent of the demand must, however, remain an uncertain quantity,
and the contingency of reprinting a supply of these volumes for stock is a matter
which must b(; kept in mind and will arise for action within a period of two,
three or four years. Pressure of work in both press-room and bindery at the
time the Revised Statutes were being printed practically prohibited consider-
ation of increasing beyond the figures indicated the number printed in English
and French respectively.
The regulation governing distribution provided also that the official selling
price of the five volumes representing the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927,
and index should be $10, which would not be subject to discount in the case of
booksellers or otherwise. It may be noted that a trade discount of 25 per cent
on oflficial publictions is usually allowed to booksellers, and a quantity dis-
count of the same percentage is allowed to any purchaser of 100 copies or over.
In the case of a publication such as the Revised Statutes, where a large pro-
portion of the members of the legal profession will find it necessary to purchase
a set, it was felt that the price should be kept at the lowest practicable figure.
The selling price decided on was estimated as sufficient to more than equal the
costs of presswork, paper and binding; all printing charges were of course paid
from the appropriation voted for the printing and binding of the Revised
Statutes.
A word may be said with respect to the binding of these volumes. Under
"The Publication of Statutes Act" it is decreed that "the statutes . . .
shall be bound, if practicable and convenient, in one volume in full buckram
and lettered in black, with the exception of a certain number to be specified
by the Governor in Council, which shall be bound in half-calf and gilt-lettered."
Whilst the Publication of Statutes Act applies expressly to the printing and
binding of the Annual Statutes and only indirectly if at all to the Revised
Statutes of Canada, 1927, it is clearly desirable if not necessary that the bind-
ing of the Revised Statutes should be in harmony with that of the Annual
Statutes. The Act formerly recjuired the Annual Statutes to be bound in half
sheepskin and this practice continued until about 1918, when buckrarn was
substitutefj for general binding, about fifty copies only being bound in half calf.
Buckram binding has proved strong, dural)le and effective and the cost is of
course greatly less than binding in half-calf. The selling price would have- been
at least doul)le with half-cjilf binding, and the experience of the department
has been that expensively bound copies of statutes are practically unsaleable.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1927-28 11
It should be noted that P.C. 1471, the new regulation governing distribu-
tion matters generally, was made inapplicable to the Statutes of Canada, it
being deemed desirable to deal specially with this point in any order which
might be made with respect to the printing of the Revised Statutes of Canada,
1927, and accordingly in P.C. 2319, December 9, 1927, provision was made for
the distribution of the Revised Statutes, as well as for other procedure.
After correspondence with the officers of Parliament, the departments of
the Dominion Government and the several provinces and with various other
authorities concerned in the matter, lists were compiled which are believed to
contain the names of all institutions and persons entitled, by reason of the func-
tions performed or services rendered, to receive free of charge copies of the
Statutes of Canada, and these lists, having been examined by yourself, were,
on your recommendation, approved by Council. To members of Parliament
the King's Printer was instructed to supply one complete set in the language
indicated, and the regulation further provided that •" each such member shall
be supplied by the King's Printer, on request, wdth a second set of such statutes
in the language other than that of the first supplied." This action was taken,
as the regulation itself sets forth, '' failing action on this point by joint recom-
mendation or otherwise of the House of Parliament ", and has apparently
proved fairly satisfactory to members of Parliament. The administrative and
official distribution lists were substantially as in the past, and in the case of
libraries in Canada and abroad, the same general principle of distribution was
adopted as in the case of other official publication and as laid down in P.C.
1471 as above.
Closely linked with the printing of the Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927,
is the publication of the volume officially entitled '' Criminal Code and Asso-
ciated Statutes ■', issued by the King's Printer for the convenience of justices
of the peace, members of the Bar, etc. Officers of the Law Branch of the House
of Commons kindly, at my request, arranged the contents of the volume. With
regard to the Criminal Code volume based on the Revised Statutes of Canada.
1906, the practice had been to forward copies without charge to newly appointed
justices of the peace, to whom also would be forwarded from year to year any
amendments to the Criminal Code. The distribution lists had become very
heavy and the total number of justices receiving copies of amending statutes
numbered in 1927 about 15,000. Inquiry seemed to indicate that the lists con-
tained many names of persons who though holding the rank of justice of the
peace did not exercise any magisterial functions, the title being of a nominal or
honorary character. By arrangement of the officers of the respective provinces
the distribution was confined as far as could be ascertained to the active jus-
tices, and the number of copies of the new volume sent out free of charge was
thus reduced by several thousand. The num.ber of copies printed was 10,000
English and 3,000 French. The distribution to justices of the peace was made
shprtly after the close of the fiscal 3''ear; also, continuing a former practice,
authority was also given the King's Printer to supply one copy of the Criminal
Code without charge and on request to a member of Parliament. There is a
considerable demand from the public for these volumes, copies of which, bound
in buckram, are held for sale at $2.
Increase in Salaries and Wages
An incident of the year whietl demands particular mention in these remarks
is the general increase in salaries and wages, effective as from the beginning of
the fiscal year. So far as respects the Ci\il Service section of the department,
including some 250 officers and clerk:-, the increase was common to the Civil
Service at large and was the outcome of representations made to the Govern-
ment by organizations representative of the Civil Service and which had been
12 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING AND STATIONERY
for some time the subject of investigation by the Civil Service Commission
Action taken as a result of this inquiry caused a flat increase throughout the
service of $120 per annum to all classes receiving salaries up to and including
$5,100, exceptions being those officers only who might be, under former regula-
tions, in receipt of salaries already exceeding by $120 or more the compensa-
tion assigned to the class involved; where the excess in such cases was less
than $120 the salary was increased by the amount of the difference.
The employees'^ in the mechanical branches of this department, working
under prevailing rates system, were not of course affected officially or formally
by the action taken with respect to civil servants, but prior to such action repre-
sentations had already been received from representatives of the prevailing
rates employees urging that wage rates in the printing trades in Montreal and
Toronto had reached a higher level than that obtaining in this department,
which remained at the figure as set in 1920, following the reorganization then
completed. The governing statute iChap. 162, R.S.C. 1927, sec. 16, par. 3)
provides with respect to wage rates that " no increase of any such rate of wages
shall be made so as to raise the rate above that which is at the time of such
increase paid for similar work in the cities of Montreal and Toronto ". By
your direction nn inquiry was made as to the wage rates in the printing trades
in the cities of Montreal and Toronto, the Deputy Minister of the Department
of Labour kindly placing at my disposal for this purpose very full information
especially procured by his officers. Close analysis of the situation showed
wage rates in the printing trades in Montreal and Toronto for the highest grades
of workers to be somewhat above these obtaining in the Printing Bureau, and
since the nature of the work executed in the Bureau requires that, so far as can
be secured, workers in the various branches shall be of the highest grade, my
report to you on the subject recommended advances in weekly wage rates whicii
affected the divisions generally as follows: for workers in (1) Composition
Branch and Press-rooms, an increase of $2; (2) Bindery, an increase of $3;
(3) Stereotype Branch, an increase of $4; members of the small group of workers
in the mechanical branches exempt from the operations of the Civil Service Act
received proportionate increases. These various increases, being approved by
voursclf. became effective as from April 1, 1927, by virtue of P.C. 112-1232 and
P.C. 86-1583.
It will be of interest to include in this statement a table showing weekly
wage rates in the printing trades as paid at various periods in the Department
of Public Printing and Stationery as from 1887 to the present time; the table
follows: —

14 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC PRINTING AND STATIONERY
Re King's Printer's Advance Account
It became necessary during the year to secure an amendment to the statute
governing the department, namely, the Public Printing and Stationery Act,
chapter 162, R.S.C., 1927, the object of this legislation being to make more
effective the section of the statute under which the King's Printer is provided
with working capital necessary to enable him to perform the responsibilities
imposed upon him. These responsibilities briefly stated are as follows: (1) To
execute the printing of all kinds required by the Houses of Parliament and by
every branch of the service of the Government of Canada; (2) to provide all
stationery and ofiBice appliances required by the Houses of Parliament and the
various branches of the Government service; (3) to edit and publish the Canada
Gazette; (4) to be the distributing agent of the various departments for their
respective publications; (5) to be the exclusive sales agent of all official pub-
lications; (6) to audit all advertising undertaken on behalf of the departments
of the Government.
Under the terms of the statute the Minister of Finance authorizes advances
to the King's Printer, and the King's Printer remits to the Receiver General
all moneys received for service rendered. Before the King's Printer can execute
orders for printing or stationery he must have working capital for the payment
of wages and the purchase of paper and other printing material and of stationery,
and when he has purchased his stocks and filled his orders he must proceed with
other purchases and with the filling of other orders before payment can be
received from the Houses of Parliament and the Government departments for
printing done and goods supplied. Something of the extent of the business of
the department and of the necessities of a working capital are indicated by the
inventory which, on the 1st of April, 1927, amounted to $370,128.52 for printing
and $137,792.78 for stationery, a total of $507,921.30. Included in the printing
inventory was material in stores as follows: printing paper, $103,304.57; print-
ing material, $68,974.26; also on account of work in process: printing labour,
$111,842.56, and printing material, $86,187.13. During the year the amounts
of work and material in process and of material in stock vary according to the
demands of Parliament and the several departments. The turnover for the
year was, as alreadv stated, $3,883,036.89 in printing and $2,208,568.95 in
stationery, a total of $6,091,605.84.
Section 38 of the statute before amendment had provided that the Minister
of Finance may authorize "the advance to the King's Printer, out of the Con-
solidated Revenue Fund of Canada, of such sums of money, not exceeding at
any time two hundred thousand dollars, as the King's Printer requires," etc.
This clause was placed in the statute in 1900 and was no doubt at that time
adequate for the object in view. Two causes have combined to render this
sum insufficient properly to meet the King's Printer's necessities at the present
time: (1) a very large increase in all branches of the activities of the depart-
ment; (2) the change in money values; the wages per capita having, for instance,
Increased by much over 100 per cent as compared with 1900.
For several years the interpretation placed on the clause was such as seemed
to render an amendment unnecessary, no objection having been raised to
advancing the King's Printer the moneys needed to carry on the work of the
department, but during the last year or two the Auditor General has pressed
strongly for an amendment which would remove all doubt or ambiguity. After
careful consideration the sum of $700,000 was estimated as the amount which
may be with reasonable safety substituted for that of $200,000 as set in the
existing statute.
The situation was briefly outlined by yourself as minister in the House
of Commons and the amending measure duly became law.
ANNUAL REPORT, 1927-28 15
Pre-Cancellatiox of Stamps
A branch of work which is of comparatively recent origin is that known
as " pre-cancellation of stamps ", an arrangement wherebj^ the Post Office
Department provides for the sale to particular commercial concerns of postage
stamps in considerable quantities which are over-printed with the name of the
city at which the mail carrying such stamps is posted, this pre-cancellation
saving labour at the post office and expediting geoerally the mail service. Under
the procedure adopted sheets of 100 stamps of varying value are delivered by
the Post Office Department to the officers of this Department. Special pre-
cautions are taken in this Department to guard the stamps until the work of
over-printing has been completed and the officials of the Post Office Department
have received the pre-cancelled stamps safely back in their hands. The follow-
ing table shows the quantities and values of pre-cancelled stamps handled
during each of the last four years: —
Year Quantity Value
1927-8 49,579,700 $ 956.940 00
1926-7 64,066,400 1,529,180 00
1925-6 85,187,450 3,040,957 50
1924-5 87,423,200 3,259,263 00
Total 306,256,750 $8,786,340 50
It is a matter of deep satisfaction to the Department that throughout the
different phases of this important work absolutely no losses have been incurred
a situation reflecting the highest credit on the various officers concerned.
New Plant
New plant to the value of $34,051.50 was purchased and installed as fol-
lows during the fiscal year, viz: —
General Plant. — Installation of new transformer, etc., for increased power
for stereotype and other equipment, $629.23.
Chiej Mechanic's Division. — One gasolene pump and meter, $579.
Hand Contposing Division. — Two lead and rule cutters, $111.
Linotype Division. — Two linotype machines No. 8, $7,561.20.
Monotype Division. — One keyboard machine, $1,343.79; 1 giant casting
machine, $3,624.32; 886 matrices, $888.04; 2 Margach metal feeders, $140; total,
$5,996.15.
Stereotype Division. — One moulding and drying press, $6,213.25; 1 set
heaters, $450; total, $6,663.25.
Press Division. — One platen press, $875; 12 steel chases, $120; total, $995.
Bindery Division. — One stamping press, $2,900; 1 perforator, $6,262.70;
1 bundler, $1,550; 1 temperature controller, $235.83; 1 tying machine with motor,
$568.14; total, $11,516.67.
Of the above list the name of the article purchased as a rule indicates the
object, and the purchases were mainly to replace worn plant with more modern
equipment. The largest individual purchases were a perforating machine in the
bindery and a moulding and drying press in the stereotype division, the last
representing a distinct advance on old methods, direct pressure being substituted
for hand process.
The two linotypes were replacements but the new machines were fitted for
Made matrices and will relieve somewhat the pressure on the monotype division
arising from the increasing statistical and wide-measure work.

Table No. 8 — Statement of Pamphlet and Miscellaneous Book-work, 1927-28
* In this table and in other tables which contain a column giving the total number of printed pages,
the figures in the total column coincide, as a rule, with those obtained by multiplying the number of
copies by the number of pages. In some cases, however, a printing job includes difTerent sections or series
which vary as to the number of copies and number of pages; the two first columns do not therefore multiply
into the figures shown in the column representing the total number of pages printed. Cases of this class
are denoted by an asterisk (*).

Ottawa, August 14, 1928.
F. A. AcLAND, Esq.,
King's Printer and Controller of Stationery,
Ottawa, Ont.
Dear Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your information the general
statement of the accounts of this office from April 1, 1927, to March 31, 1928: — ■

Debit balance from 1926-27 17,185 22
Net gain $ 18,553 82
In presenting the above report I take this opportunity of advising you
that the financial statement from the Auditor General's office has come to
hand, showing a net difference of S349.57.
When you take into consideration that the goods supplied amounted to
over $1,000,000, I think this is a very small percentage, and is bound to occur
in any business.
Since the last report I have made further changes in our stock ledgers
by the addition of one clerk, which enables a double check to be made on all
entries. To date the balancing shows an improvement, and I feel that at the
end of this year a marked improvement will be shown in our records.
A number of errors have been found and rectified through the double
checking.
During the year: — ■
24,153 requisitions were received from departments,
3,173 letters were received,
15,312 letters were mailed.
Yours respectfully,
EDMUND RYDER,
Superintendent of Stationery.

DIVISION OF DOCUMENTS
F. A. AcLAND, Esq.,
King's Printer,
Ottawa.
Dear Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your information the repori
of this division from April 1, 1927 to March 31, 1928. Owing to the new system
of records of publications received, distributed and sold, the statement of activi-
ties is more complete than in the past.
The total sales during the fiscal year were as follows: — ■
To the Houses of Parliament and departments $ 22,015 12
To the public 49, 106 49
A total of i 71,121 61
showing an increase over the preceding fiscal year as follows: — •
To the Houses of Parliament and departments $ 7, 533 39
To the public 9,492 94
A total of $ 17,026 33
The number of orders issued for the mailing of publications during the
fiscal year 1927-28 was 17,694.
The departmental sub post office worked efficiently during the year, its
activities being as follows: —
Number of registered letters 2, 556
" insured parcels 6, 105
letters 107,719
Mail bags sent to railway station 19,634
" " post office for final sortation 4,463
Total number of bags 23,870
The very large increase in sales was due mainly to the fact that the volumes
of Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927, became available for distribution in
February, and by March 31, 1928, 1,571 sets in English and 98 sets in French
had been sold at the rate of $10 per set.
The duties of the branch were increased by the enactment of special regu-
lations under P.C. 1471 authorizing the distribution to important libraries
of all official publications not of a confidential character, and a report on this
distribution is included in this statement. Tables showing distribution and
sales of various publications or classes of publications are submitted.

ANNUAL REPORT, 1927-28

Annual Reports 1927, English
The table printed herewith shows the number of copies received of each
publication and the general disposition of the same. Many copies of each
document, sometimes practically all, are delivered direct to the ordering Depart-
ment; in some cases copies are requisitioned by the Clerk of the House of Com-
mons for distribution to Members of Parliament. Often considerable numbers
are mailed direct to addresses supplied by the Clerk of the House and by the
Department interested. Copies of all publications not confidential in character
are mailed to important libraries, etc., under P.C. 1471, a regulation enacted
on August 4, 1927, and operative since September 4, 1927. The system indi-
cated applies not only in the case of annual reports but to practically all
publications other than the Statutes of Canada.

REPORT
OF THE
DEPUTY MINISTER OF MARINE
To the Hon. P. J. Arthur Cardin,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith mj' report for the fiscal year
ended March 31, 1928.
At the beginning of 1927 there was, apart from Japan and the Scandinavian
countries, an increase in the shipbuilding activity of every other maritime
country, the tonnage in hand being in excess of the 1926 output, the figures
being: —

Since' 1922, when her output amounted to 227,425 gross tons of merchant
shipping (Lloyd's statement), there has been a steady and marked decline in
Japanese shipbuilding until, as shown in the above table, her building program,
at the beginning of 1927 was the lowest among the maritime countries of the
world. ,
Russia at the close of 1926, as stated in last year's report, entered the shipr
building field for the first time since the close of the war. At the beginning of
1927 her tonnage under construction exceeded that of Spain and of Japan.
Lloyd's returns for the March, 1927, quarter show an increase of world
tonnage under construction over that of the previous quarter of 637,000 tons,;
viz., 2,569,864 tons as against 1,932,864 tons.
Great Britain and Ireland show an increase of 456,848 tons; 1,216,932 tons
as against 760,084 tons. Germany shows an increase of 139,871 tons; 350,933
tons as against 211,062 tons. Italy a decrease of 30,982 tons; 208,794 tons as
against 239,776 tons. United States an increase of 27,690 tons; 179,325 tons as
against 151,635 tons. France an increase of 11,370 tons; 154,438 tons' as against
143,068 tons. Holland a decrease of 11,360 tons; 133,645 tons as against 145,005
tons.
Lloyd's register shipbuilding returns for the quarter ended June 30, 1927,
as compared with those of the previous quarter show an increase in the ship-
builing activity of the world at large, and also an increase in the activities of
the majority of the maritime countries.
World tonnage under construction amounted to 2,840,545 tons, an increase
of 271,000 tons over the previous quarter. British and Irish tonnage in hand,
65702—1
2 MARINE AND FISHERIES
1.390,388 tons, showed an increase of 173,456 tons over the previous quarter,
and exceeded by 549,000 tons the tonnage building a year ago. Work was sus-
pended on only 8,745 tons at the end of June, 1926.
Germany had in hand at the end of June, 1927, 407,620 tons of merchant
shipping, as against 350,933 tons for the previous quarter, an increase of 56,687
tons; Italy, 226,774 tons, as against 208,794 tons, an increase of 17,980 tons;
Holland, 171,825 tons, as against 133,645 tons, an increase of 38,180 tons;
United States, 146,846 tons, as against 179,325 tons, a decrease of 32,479 tons;
France, 136,474 tons, as against 154,438 tons, a decrease of 17,964 tons.
Motor Ship Building at June 30, 1927
(Lloyd's statement)
For the first time in the history of shipbuilding motor tonnage building in
the world exceeded steam tonnage.
The tonnage of vessels building in the world on June 30, 1927, to be fitted
with internal combustion engines, amounted to 1,459,595 tons; the steam ton-
nage to 1,366,809 tons; showing the continued and rapid development of the
former system of propulsion.
In Great Britain and Ireland motor tonnage under construction amounted
to 627,700 tons, about 82 8 per cent of the steam tonnage under way.
In the Continental countries of Europe, however, motor tonnage' in hand
at June 30, 1927, far exceeded the steam tonnage.
In Danzig, Denmark, Holland, France, Italy, and Sweden, 561,135 tons of
motor tonnage were being built as against 152,055 tons of steam tonnage.
At the close of June, 1927, there were being built in the world eighty-
four motor ships of between 6,000 and 10,000 tons; seventeen of between 10,000
and 15,000 tons; nine of between 15,000 and 24,000 tons; and one of about
33,000 tons.
Tankers Under Construction at June 30, 1927
(Lloyd's Statement)
The following table shows the number and gross tonnage of steamers and
motorships, each of 1,000 tons and above, intended to carry oil in bulk, under

The above table shows the present marked lead of Britain in the building of
ships for the carriage of fuel oil in bulk, her tanker tonnage building at the end
of June 1927, being consideralbly more than that of all the other maritime
countries combined.
Lloyd's register shipbuilding returns for the quarter ended September 30.
1927, show world tonnage under construction to amount to 3,074,057 tons, au
increase of about 234,000 tons over tonnage in hand at the close of the previous
quarter, due to increased building activity in Great Britain and Ireland, and
in Germany.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER
The total for Great Britain and Ireland is 1,536,416 tons, as against 1,390,-
388 tons for the previous quarter, an increase of 146,028 tons; for Germany
516,245 tons, as against 407,620 tons for the previous quarter, an increase of
108,625 tons.
Totals for some other continental countries are Italy 208,420 tons; Holland,
163,824 tons; France, 130,914 tons.
As tonnages in hand for these countries at the close of the previous quarter
were respectively 226,774 tons; 171,825 tons; and 136,474 tons, it will be seen
that in Italy, Holland, and France there has 'been a slight falling off in the
September quarter building as compared with that of the June quarter.
Lloyd's September returns show that British and Irish tonnage then in
hand, was only 1,200 tons less than that under construction in the rest of the
world
McnoR Shipbuilding, at September 30, 1927
At the close of the September quarter world merchant shipping, to be fitted
with internal combustion engines, amounted to 1,589,510 tons; steam tonnage
building at the same time amounted to 1,468.842 tons, a difference of 120,668 tons
in favour of motor tonnage.
The excess of world motor tonnage in hand over steam tonnage at the close
of the June quarter amounted to 92,786 tons. It will thus 'be seen that the
movement in favour of the former mode of propulsion continues to increase.
Of British and Irish tonnage in hand at the close of the September quarter,
motor ship tonnage comprised 653,342 tons, about 74 per cent of the steam
tonnage.
In Danzig, Denmark, France, Holland, Italy, and Sweden, motor tonnage
under construction totalled 581,544 tons, as against 137,964 tons of steam
tonnage.

It was pointed out in last year's report, that in Great Britain's and Ireland's
building for foreign account, the British Dominions were their best customers
as to number of ships — 24 to Norway's 8, and the second Ibest as to tonnage
17,408 gross tons to Nonvay's 41,543 gross tons. In 1927, however, the British
Dominions as shown by the above table accounted for 45 vessels, 113,254 gross
tons of British and Irish building on foreign account, all the other foreign
countries combined accounting for 54 vessels, 154,465 gross tons.
In 1927 the British Dominions absorbed not far off one-half of Britain's
entire output on foreign account both as to number of ships and total tonnage.
The British and Irish tonnage built, on foreign account during 1927, viz.:
267,719 tons it 21.8 per cent of the total tonnage launched during the year; the
percentage in 1926 was 14 per cent, about 16 per cent in 1925, and about 15 per
cent in 1924.
In 1923 British and Irish building on foreign account was less than 3 per
cent and during the pre-war years 1909-1913 inclusive the average was a little
above 22 per cent.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 5
It will thus be seen that the British and Irish percentage of shipping built
on foreign account during 1927 very nearly equals the average of the years
1909-1913, and as already stated nearly half of this goes to the British
Dominions.
SIZE AND TYPE OF VESSEI.S
The returns for 1927 sh.ow that 86 vessels of between 5,000 and 10,000 tons
each and 7 vessels of 10,000 tons and upwards were launched. The largest are
the turbine steamers Duchess of Atholl (21,500 tons) and Orford (20,000 tons) ;
the Laiirentic (18,724 tons) fitted with a combination of turbines and recipro-
cating engines, and the raotorship Bermuda (16,000 tons).
Excluding vessels of less than 1,000 tons, 62 vessels of 305,781 tons, for the
carriage of oil in bulk were launched during 1927. Of these, 45 vessels of about
258,000 tons, and two other vessels of 7,830 tons, were built on the Isherwood
system of longitudinal framing.
The tonnage of steamers fitted for burning oil fuel, launched dm"ing the
year, amounts to nearly 300,000 tons.
The tanker tonnage represents nearly 25 per cent of the total tonnage
launched during 1927.
The returns include a number of vessels designed for channel, coasting,
fishing, towing, harbour service, and other special purposes.
The average tonnage of steamers and motorships launched during the year
is 3,430 tons. If the vessels of less than 500 t-ons are excluded, the average is
increased to 4,193 tons, as compared with 4,486 in 1926, 4,439 in 192)5, 3,777
in 1924, 3,805 in 1923, and 5,186 in 1922.
VESSELS FITTED WITH TURBINES
Further progress was recorded in the use of steam turbines during 1927,
when 13 vessels with a total tonnage of 137,628 tons were launched which will
be fitted with this method of propulsion. These figures include a vessel of
18,724 tons, which has a combination of steam turbines and reciprocating
enginesx It will be seen that the average tonnage of these vessels reaches the
high figure of 10,587 tons.
VESSELS FITTED \\TTH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINES
The tonnage of vessels fitted with internal combustion engines is steadily
increasing in comparison with the total output. The tonnage of such vessels
launched during 1919 was 32,936 tons, while during 1925 it amounted to 267,217
tons, and to 201,913 tons during 192G. During the year 1927, 80 motorsihips
of 355,779 tons were launched, this tonnage equalling 41 .1 per cent of the steam
tonnage launched. The largest motorship launched during the year is the
Bermuda, of about 16,000 tons, and it may be stated that of the 52 vessels of
6,000 tons and upwards, launched during the year, 29 are to be fitted with oil
engines.
OUTPUT OF LEADING SHIPBUILDING CENTRES
The Clyde district ocfupies first place amongst the shipbuilding centres,
showing an output of 423,723 tons. Then follow the Tvne (274,056 tons), the
Wear (162,770 tons), the Tees (130,371 tons), Belfast (107,181 tons), and the
Mersey (36,636 tons). The largest increase, as compared with 1926, has taken
place on the Clyde, the figures for which are 156,078 tons higher than the
previous vear. The increase on the Tvne amounts to 147,447 tons, on the Wear
to 127,583 tons, and on the Tecs to 93,188 tons.
6 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Germany
During the year under review 105 vessels of 289,622 tons were launched.
As compared with the output for 1926, the present figures show the large
increase of 109,074 tons and represent 27^ per cent of the total output abroad
during 1927, as compared with only 17^ per cent in 1926.
These figures include 12 vessels of 78,676 tons to be fitted with steam
turbines, including the largest vessel launched in the world during 1927, viz.,
the Cap Arcona, of 27,561 tons; the totals for turbine vessels comprise eight
vessels of 35,115 tons which will have a combination of steam turbines and
reciprocating engines. The total figures comprise, also, 33 vessels of 115,882
tons to be fitted with oil engines, the largest being the motor tanker C. 0.
Stillman, of about 16,000 tons. Four tankers, of 35,097 tons — all motorships
were launched.
The totals include 14 vessels of between 6,000 and 8,000 tons, 4 of between
8,000 and 10,000 tons, and 3 vessels of above 10,000 tons each.
United States
The output for the year 1927, namely 179,218 tons is 28,605 tons higher
than during 1926.
Of the tonnage launched, 17 steamers and motorships of 82,754 tons and 30
barges of 24,800 tons were built on the Atlantic coast, eight steamers of 54,948
tons on the Great Lakes, and 11 vessels of 16.716 tons on the Pacific coast.
The largest vessels launched during 1927 wTre the turbo-electric vessel
California, of about 22,000 tons, built at Newport News, and the motorship
Gulfpride, of 12,510 tons, built at Kearny, N.J.; four other vessels of between
6,000 and 10,000 tons were launched on the Atlantic coast; and one of 10,180
tons and four between 8,000 and 10,000 tons were launched on the Great Lakes.
Six turbine steamers of 54,916 tons were launched in this country during
1927, including two vessels, the above-mentioned California and one other vessel
of 8,816 tons, both fitted with turbines in conjunction with electric motors. The
motor tonnage launched amounts to 39,282 tons; of oil tankers of 1,000 tons
and upwards, five of 37,318 tons w^ere launched.
The totals also include five vessels of 39,261 tons built on the Isherwood
system of longitudinal framing.
Holland
The total tonnage launched during 1927 — 119,790 tons — is 26,119 tons
higher than the 1926 figures. As usual, the figures for this country do not
include vessels exclusively intended for river navigation, the total tonnage of
which vessels reaches a high figure.
Seven vessels were launched of over 6,000 tons each.
The totals for the year include forty-nine vessels of 86,194 tons to be fitted
with internal combustion engines. Eight motorships arc of 6,000 tons and
upwards, the largest being the Christiaan Hxnjgen^ of 15,636 tons and the
Sibajak of 12.040 tons.
Four motorships of 25,227 tons are intended for the carriage of oil in bulk.
Italy
The' total figures for this country — 101,076 tons — are 118,945 tons lower
than those for 1926, which were the highest ever reached in this country.
Eighteen vessels of 73,955 tons were launched in the Trieste district, as com-
Dared with an output of 94,136 tons during the previous year.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 7
The totals comprise three vessels of 10,000 tons and upwards, the largest
being the turbine steamers Conte Grande of about 22,800 tons, launched at
Trieste, and Ausonia of 13,500 tons, launched at Genoa. Thirteen motorships of
49,698 tons were launched, the largest being the Virgilio of 11,920 tons, built at
Baia, near Naples.
Denmark
The total tonnage launched during 1927- — 72,038 tons — is practically the
same as last year, and is composed mostly of motorship tonnage (63,690 tons).
Seven motorships of between 5,000 and 9,150 tons were launched; six of these,
.with a total tonnage of 44,501 tons, are intended for the carriage of oil in bulk.
Sweden
The output for 1927—67,361 tons— is 13,843 tons more than that for 1926,
and is the highest ever recorded in this country. Over 92;^ per cent of the total
is composed of motorships, of which eight are of between 5,000 and 7,000 tons
each. The tankers launched — all motorships — amount to seven, of 42,566 tons.
France
The output for the year — 44,335 tons — is 77,027 tons lower than that for
1926, and is the lowest recorded since 1919.
The total figures include one steamer of 9,950 tons, five motorships of
17,076 tons, and six trawlers of over 1,000 tons each.
Russia
The shipbuilding activity in this country, which has been developing for
the last two years, has resulted in the launching, during 1927, of eighteen vessels,
of 43,917 tons. These figures include ten motorships, of 25,414 tons, one of which
— an oil tanker — is of about 7,000 tons, and two are of 4,957 tons each.
Japan
The output for this country — 42,359 tons — is 10,046 tons less than that in
1926, and is the lowest recorded since 1910.
The 1927 totals comprise two motorships, of 5,612 tons each, and two tur-
bine steamers, of about 4,250 tons each.
British Dominions
The' total tonnage launched in all the British Dominions overseas during
1927, namely, 30,250 tons, is slightly less than in 1926.
Of the total output, 23,773 tons were launched in Canada, including 10,131
tons on the Great Lakes.
The totals include two steamers, of between 6,000 and 7,000 tons each,
launched at Levis, Quebec.

General Statistics
World output of merchant shipping in 1927 amounted to 2,285,679 tons; to
this Great Britain and Ireland contributed 1,225,873 tons, other countries
1,059,806 tons. Great Britain and Ireland were responsible for more than half
the merchant ship tonnage launched during the year — about 54 per cent of it.
As compared with the 1926 world output, the 1927 one is 610,702 tons
greater.
During 1927, 863,694 tons were launched, fitted with internal combustion
engines. Similar tonnage launched in 1926 amounted to 704,006 tons.
Tonnage of motor ships building in the world at the beginning of 1928 is
115,000 tons more than the steam tonnage under construction, showing the con-
tinued progress of the former mode of propulsion.
Of the total steam tonnage — 1,375,828 tons — launched in the world during
1927, 470,000 tons is for steamers fitted for burning oil fuel under the boilers,
so that the tonnage depending exclusively upon coal for propulsion amounts to
only 39-6 of the world total for 1927.
The tankers launched during 1927 amounted to ninety-nine vessels of
542,437 tons, as against 246,000 tons in 1926.

The tonnage in hand of every maritime country given in the table (with
the exception of the United States) showing an increase over its 1927 output.
France in particular has between two and three times more tonnage in hand
at the end of 1927 than was built by her during the year. Germany also shows
a substantial gain.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER ,9
Empire merchant shipping; afloat at the end of June, 1927, exceeded that
of the rest of the world by 1,298 ships and 585,125 gross tons. These figures
clearly indicate the present maritime pre-eminence of the British Empire.

It will ibe seen that in little less than a decade from 1919 to 1927, motor
ship tonnage under Lloyd's register, has become nearly six times as great.

Tlic enormous increase in the tonnage of vessels for the carriage of fuel
oil in bulk during the 1919-1927 period is shown by this table.
Comparison of World Merchant Fleets in June, 1914, and in June. 1927
Apart from sailing vessels and wood steamers, the gross tonnage of sea-
going steel and iron steamers and motor ships in June 1914 was 42,514,000 tons
(Lloyd's statement), in June 1927, 59,688,000 tons an increase of over 17
million tons.
The changes in the types of ^■essels during this period have been remark-
able.
Tankers wliich in 1914 totalled 1,479.000 tons, now amount to 5,916,000
tons.
Motor ships which in 1914 only totalled 234,000 tons now amount to
4,271,000 tons (including auxiliaries).
A great change has taken place in the relative use of coal, and fuel oil for
boilers. In 1914 the tonnage of steamers fitted for oil fuel was 1,310,000 tons;
in 1927 the figures approximated 18^ million tons.

It will be seen that both the gross revenue and the operating ex^penses
were lower in 1927 than in 1926; gross revenue being $755,472.99 or 6.87 per
cent less than in 1926, and the operating expenses $124,897.50 or 1.12 per cent
less than in 1926.
10 MARINE AND FISHERIES
The operating loss was $720,735.40 in 1927 as compared with operating
loss of $90,159.91 in 1926.
The less favourable showing in 1927 was largely attributable to conditions
under which certain of the services ihad to be operated, there being a shortage
of cargo tonnage, also additional competition which resulted in reduced freight
rates. However, prospects for the future are brighter owing to decreased
competition and the stabilization of freight rates.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 25
RIVER ST. LAWRENCE SHIP CHANNEL
Report of F. W. Forneret, B.A., Sc, M.E.I.C., Chief Engineer
PHYSICAL FEATURES
It is probable that there is no river in the world better adapted for
improvement than the St. Lawrence. The Great Lakes act as storage reservoirs
and settling basins. Except for floods during ice accumulations, the fluctua-
tions in level are gradual and not excessive.
The position of the St. Lawrence is the reverse of most rivers. The usual
condition of a river comes from the source — steep slopes erode the banks and
transport coarse material, which, as the slope becomes more gradual, decreases
until at the moutli of the river it carries in suspension a fine sediment which
deposits, to the great detriment of navigation.
In the St. Lawrence the material from most of the sources of supplj is all
deposited in the settling basins. From the lakes to the ocean the bottom of
the river is usually hard, so that we have not only clear water, but a permanent
bed.
The nature of the material composing the bottom of the river, though in
many places difficult to dredge, is for the same reason of such a character that
a dredged cut once made is substantially permanent.
In the Ship Channel the material to be excavated varies from soft blue
clay to hard pan, as hard as a macadamized road, to shale rock and large
boulders. In one or two localities we find coarse sand, to which points dredging
has to some extent to be repeated.
The currents of the St. Lawrence are, for a river of such a size, not only
reasonable and regular, but altogether free from the usual dangers to navigation
resulting from freshets.
The winter season, with its ice and snow, is the one drawback to the St.
Lawrence. This route, however, with its seven months' season of navigation,
is one of the greatest factors in the success of the Canadian transportation
system. The successful work accomplished by the ice-breaking steamers during
the last few years proves that the season of navigation can be lengthened
materially.
HISTORY of THE RIVER ST. LAWRENCE SHIP CHANNEL
The St. Lawrence, owing to its situation, is the natural route from the
Atlantic to the northern and northwestern half of the North American con-
tinent. The possibility of converting Montreal into a deep water seaport was
first suggested in the year 1825, when the Lachine canal was completed and
connected Montreal with the Great Lakes, establishing the route commercially.
Light-draught sailing vessels could then reach Montreal without trouble
except during a few weeks in the autumn, when they resorted to lightering.
Surveys were made with the object of increasing the depth of water in the
waterway. After these were completed, the question of which channel to adopt
through lake St. Peter was hotly discussed, some favouring the " natural " or
old Ship Channel and others the " straight channel " through St. Francis bank.
Finally it was decided to proceed with the work of deepening the " straight
channel ", the aim being to obtain a channel 150 feet in width and to a depth
of 14 feet at the lowest water, instead of 10 feet 6 inches at lowest water, as
existed in the old Ship Channel which covered the available depth for naviga-
tion between Quebec and Montreal. The " Board of Works " of Canada was
entrusted witli the task and began operations in the spring of 1844 and con-
26 MARINE AND FISHERIES
tinued till the month of June, 1846, when the work was suspended; the manage-
ment was changed, and the execution of the work was transferred from the
Board of Works to the control of the Commissioners of Public Works.
The dredging was again resumed in the month of September of the same
year. Owing to continued opposition, the work of cutting the "straight channel"
was finally suspended on the 16tli of September, 1847, and subsequently aban-
doned. It is now considered that the " straight channel " as commenced would
have been preferable. Nothing was done on lake St. Peter by the Commis-
sioners of Public Works for three years. The Harbour Commissioners of Mont-
real then came forward and offered to complete the project expeditiously and
economically. The proposal was accepted find^an Act was passed in August,
1850, transferring the work of improving tlie Ship Channel from the Commis- ^
sioners of Public Works to the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal, who were
empowered to charge a tonnage duty sufficiently to pay 8 per cent intere.~t upon
the outlay, with a 2 per cent contribution to the sinking fundi
This plan was adopted in August, 1850, and the commissioners were author-
ized to proceed in such a manner as they should deem best, the government
plant being transferred to them.
The Harbour Commissioners, after examination and the best advice obtain-
able, adopted the location of the deepest natural channel in lake St. Peter.
This results in the present channel with five tangents instead of two straight
courses as at first commenced.
The original depth through lake St. Peter was 10 feet 6 inches at ordinary'
low water, the plan adopted by the Montreal Harbour Commissioners. (The
present extreme low water datum adopted for the 35- foot channel is the actual ,^
obser\^ed lowest water during the season of 1897 which corresponds to a depth
of nine feet 4 inches on lake St. Peter flats^ This level of 1897 was the lowest
ever observed, except the extraordinary low water of 1895, which at lake St.
Peter went 6 inches lower7
^The channel through lake St. Peter is practically completed to 35 feet at
E.L.W. of 1897, there remaining only a short distance at He au Raisin yet to
be deepened from 30 to 35 feet E.L.W^
t^rom 1850 the channel was deepened from stage to stage until in 1888,
when the debt amounted to somewhat over three million dollars, the Govern-
ment decided to complete the channel as a national work, and to assume the
debt, and from that day the Ship Channel has been open, free to the commerce
of the world?)
The Harbour Commissioners carried on operations for the Department of
Public Works till the end of the season of 1888, when the official connection of
the commissioners with the Ship Channel ceased, after having continued for
oven thirty-eight years.
[in Januan.', 1889, the control and management of the work was assumed by
the Department of Pu])lic Works^ During the winter, extensive repairs were
made to the dredging plant, which, on the opening of navigation was set to
work at Cap a la Roche, Pouiller Payer and Cap Charles in deepening the
channel to 27| feet at low water, spring tides.
From this date to 1898, the Department of Public Works continued opera-
tions and completed the difficult rock work at Cap a la Roche and Cap Charles
to 27-| feet at low water. In addition, many portions of the channel were
cleaned up, straightened and several curves and narrow places widened.
THIRTY-FOOT CHANNEL
The unusually low water of 1895 and 1897 and the increased size of vessels
urgently called for a wider and deeper channel, and larger and more powerful
dredges and plant were refjuired. In 1899 the dredging plant was in a condition
to warrant a more extensive plan of operation.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 27
The low water of 1897, the lowest on record, except the short period of
unusually low water of 1895, was adopted as the new datum for the 30-foot
channel. It is nearly H to 2 feet lower than the ordinary low water plane of
the 272-foot channel. The object, therefore, was to realize in the shortest time,
a channel 450 feet wide on the tangents, and from 500 to 750 feet on the curves.
An anchorage 800 feet in width was to be provided at Wliite Buoy Curve in
lake St. Peter. The work also included much straightening of the channel.
The Ship Channel continued under the control of the Department of Public)
Works until 1904, when an Order in Council was passed on March 11, trans-
ferring the management and control of the river St. Lawrence Ship Channel,
together with the dredging and shipbuilding plant to the Department of Marine
and Fisheries so as to place the supervision of the improvements to navigation
on the St. Lawrence route under the department directly responsible for the
pilotage and aids to navigation. Under this department the work was vigour-
ously continued so that the season of 1907 saw the completion of the channel,
Montreal to Bastican, to 30 feet depth at E.L.W. of 1897, a distance of 101
miles. The dredging operations were carried on with renewed energy. The Cap
a la Roche channel is now widened from 300 to 450 and 550 feet, and the Cap
Charles channel widened from 300 to 450 feet in the straight part and to 600
feet width at the curve.
At the end of the season 1927, the Cap a la Roche channel was completed
to 30 feet depth at extreme low water, but there is a considerable amount of
cleaning up before this depth is obtained for navigation. This depth at Cap a
la Roche is 4^ feet greater than in the 27|-foot channel, as the low water plane
adopted for the 30-foot project is here 2 feet lower than that used for the
27i-foot deepening. The widening is nearly completed and will probably be
finished next season.
The only place that requires dredging to obtain 30 feet between Cap a la
Roche and Quebec, is at St. Augustin bar, 14 miles above the latter place.
Advantage must still be taken of the tide, by deep draught vessels, to pass this
place, the range of tide being 16^ feet at springs and 11 feet at neaps, the avail-
able depth at present being 22 feet at extreme low tide. It is proposed to com-
mence this work as soon as we have a dredge available to do it.
THIRTY-FIVE FOOT CH.\NNEL
In 1910 the question of further deepening was considered because the rapid
increase in the size of vessels was likely to find the 30-foot channel too shallow.
The Government therefore, resolved to proceed immediately with the deepening
of the Ship Channel to 35 feet at extreme low water of 1897 (this being the
datum to which the 35-foot deepening was to be done), and in 1910 the work
was started in lake St. Peter. The work of deepening the 35-foot channel has
been carried on at different points ever since. During season of 1917, owing
to existing conditions, and for sake of economy, the dredging operations were
considerably cut down. This state continued until season of 1925, when the
department decided to carry on the dredging operations on the river St. Law-
rence on a more extensive scale in order to expedite the work of deepening the
channel. More dredges were put into commission and the whole dredging fleet
was again operated day and night.
At the end of season 1927, the 35-foot channel was completed from Sorel
to the upper end of Longue Point curve, a distance of 38 miles.
It is also nearly completed to 35 feet between Sorel and Three Rivers. It
is hoped that this section will be completed next season.
This season has seen considerable progress in deepening the Ship Channel
to 35 feet E.L.W. below Three Rivers, where, despite the hard material encount-
ered, satisfactory progress has been made at Becancour lower traverse, and at
Champlain and Cap Charles channels.

THE SHIP CHANNEL BELOW QUEBEC
In the spring of 1901 the shipping interests of Montreal brought to the
attention of the Honourable the Minister of Public Works, the fact that deep
draught vessels had to wait for the tide to pass St. Thomas and Crane island
shoals (Beaujeu bank), which caused these vessels to lose a great deal of valu-
able time. The officers of the Marine and Fisheries Department at Quebec,
who had an intimate knowledge of this part of the river, strongly recommended
improving the North channel by way of cap Tourmtntine and Goose cape, as
being much better, more easily navigated and having less ice in winter than in
the South channel. Orders were given to the Ship Channel staff to make a
survey and examination of the North channel with a view to reporting on the
practicability and cost of improving that route and adopting it for navigation.
In 1902 a similar survey was made of the South channel to ascertain what
improvements would be required to make a 30-foot channel on the line of the
existing route.
A comprehensive report was made in 1903 by Mr. F. W. Cowie, who was
then superintending engineer, but the report did not recommend the adoption of
either route but advised that the choice should meet with the approval of the
underwriters, the shipping interests and the pilots.
The Transportation Commission visited the locality, going over each
channel and took evidence on the subject. It was finally decided to improve the
South channel by dredging it to 30 feet at extreme low tide and to a width of
1,000 feet.
SOUTH CHANNEL (30 FEET AT E.L.W.)
The Government having decided to first improve the South channel, pre-
parations were made to start the work. The project had in view a channel 30
feet in depth at extreme low tide at Beaujeu bank and St. Thomas flats, with a
width of 1,000 feet.
The changes and improvements to the dredge Galveston (sea-going suction)
(No. 9), which had been purchased for work below Quebec were completed and
the Galveston left Sorel for Beaujeu bank, off Crane island, on August 11, 1906.
The material consisted of coarse sand and gravel with some layers of soft blue
clay.
The new hopper hydraulic dredge Beaujeu (No. 8) was launched at the
Government Shipyard at Sorel on December 2, 1906, and completed on November
1, 1907.
With these two powerful dredges, good progress was made with the work.
The Beaujeu Bank channel was completed in 1909 to 30 feet at extreme low
tide and the widening finished in 1910. The channel was then opened to naviga-
tion.
The St. Thomas channel was completed to a depth of 30 feet at extreme
low tide and to a width of 1,000 feet during the season of 1912. The channel
was then marked out with gas buoys and opened to navigation. This was con-
sidered a great improvement, as deep-draught vessels were not obliged to anchor
to wait for the tide to pass '' Beaujeu " bank or St. Thomas flats, much valuable
time being thus saved.
NORTH CHANNEL (35 FEET AT E.L.W.)
The South channel being now completed, the powerful hydraulic dredge
Beaujeu (No. 8) was enabled to be placed to work on the North channel where
dredge Galveston (No. 9) had already been operating for a season, as the
Government had decided to dredge the North channel between St. Jean (Island
of Orleans) and Goose cape to a depth of 35 feet at extreme low tide and to a
width of 1,000 feet.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 29
Good progress was made, but the Government, in order to hasten the work
as much as possible, gave a contract on October 27, to the Canadian Vickers
Limited, Montreal, to build one of the largest sea-going elevator dredges in the
world. Owing to the Great War the completion of the dredge was delayed very
much. It was launched on November 18, 1916, and finally completed in 1922
and placed to work on the North channel, deepening to 35 feet at E.L.T. Good
progress was made.
During the season of 1919 the dredging operations were cut down owing to
financial conditions. Dredge Beaujeu (No. 8) was the only dredge working
below Quebec, and was operated only during the daytime. Dredge Galveston —
No. 9 — having been sold. No. 8 continued to work there during daytime only,
seasons 1920 and 1921.
As the elevator type of dredge was better suited for cleaning up to grade
and also for economical reasons the new dredge built at Canadian Vickers
(No. 16) was the only one operated below Quebec during season of 1922, No.
8 being laid up at Sorel.
No. 16 was operated only during the daytime until the season of 1925,
when the department decided to operate all the dredges, day and night. There-
fore in the spring of 1925, dredge No. 16 was organized to work twenty-four
hours, the same as those above Quebec and has done so ever since. The depart-
ment having decided to convert dredge Beaujeu (No. 8) into an elevator type
in order to expedite the work, plans were drawn and work carried on to do so
at the Sorel Shipyard. No. 8 is now completed and will be ready to commence
operations below Quebec next spring.
The total number of cubic yards removed in the North channel up to the
end of season 1927 amounted to 16,889,053 and cubic yards yet to be removed
6,602,876.
The River St. Lawrence Ship Channel commences at Lock No. 1 (Lachine
canal) and extends to Father Point, a distance of 340 statute miles.
The Ship channel proper is divided into five sections as follows: —
Statute miles
Division I — Montreal to Sorel 45
Division II — -Sorel to Batiscan (not including lake St. Peter) 36
Division III— Lake St. Peter 20
Division IV — Batiscan to Quebec 59
Div ision V — Quebec to Goose cape 70
230
The comple'^cd channel between Montreal to Quebec has a minimum width
of 450 feet on tangents and 500 to 800 feet on curves.
, Below Quebec the completed channel has a minimum width of 1,000 feet.
Dredging Opeeations, Season 1927
The department decided that in order to expedite the work the dredges were
to be operated day and night.
The dredging fleet consisted of nine dredges and attending plant, one rock
breaker, one stone lifter, one sweeping steamer, and one sweeping scow.
Notwithstanding many breakages and consequent delays for repairs, good
progress was made. Though most of the fleet was operated below Three Rivers,
considerable work was also done at Longue Pointe and Poulier a Gagnon
(Longue Pointo course). The material, generally, was very hard, causing great
wear and tear on the plant; yet the progress was good.
Cap a la Roche. — One powerful elevator dredge worked most of tlu' season
at Cap a la Roche and completed this channel to 30 feet E.L.W., save for some
cleaning up and widening, on which also progress was made this season. An
additional depth of 1-5 foot was given for Cap a la Roche channel at the latter
30 MARIXE AXD FISHERIES
part of the season. Further additional depth will be given as the cleaning up
progresses. The rock breaker was also employed during the season on Cap a la
Roche curve and one stone lifter also was used as required, cleaning up stones
and boulders. The total number of cubic yards dredged during the season
of 1927 amounted to 38,320 at a cost of $86,761.78, or $2.26*yioo cents per cubic
yard.
Cap Charles Channel. — One powerful elevator dredge was employed in
deepening Cap Charles channel to 35 feet E.L.W. for a period of three months.
Considering the nature of material, solid unbroken shale, the progress was good.
The total number of cubic yards dredged amounted to 33,875, at a cost of
$81,092.98, or $2.39=5%oo cents per cubic yard.
Chamylain Channel. — The work of deepening Champlain channel to 35
feet E.L.W. commenced last season and was carried on this year. One powerful
elevator dredge worked here for a large part of the season, making excellent
progress. In addition to deepening the old channel, the dredge widened the
channel 300 feet at the lower end, north side, in the vicinity of red gas buoy
2-C, just above Pointe Citrouille. The material dredged was sand, clay, and
boulders. This will be a great improvement at this point of the channel.
The total number of cubic vards dredged amounted to 304,990 at a cost
of $91,386.07, or 0-29»%oo cents'per cubic yard.
Becancour Lower Traverse. — Two powerful elevator dredges worked here
for the greater part of the season, deepening this channel to 35 feet E.L.W.
The material consisted of embedded boulders, stones, hard pan and some soft
shale, but despite breakdowns bj- this hard material, good progress was made.
The total number of cubic vards dredged amounted to 636,550 at a cost of
$241,894.55, or 0-38<>%oo cents per cubic yard.
Three Rivers. — A powerful elevator dredge worked at Three Rivers, for a
few days opposite black gas buoy 59-C, deepening the channel to 35 feet E.L.W.
The material consisted of clay, stones, and boulders.
The total number of cubic yards amounted to 4,900 at a cost of $11,029.35,
or $2.250%oo cents per cubic yard.
Port St. Francis. — A powerful elevator dredge worked for two and one half
months at Port St. Francis, deepening the channel to 35 feet E.L.W. The
material consisted of clav, stones and boulders. The total number of cubic vards
dredged amounted to 157,300 at a cost of $59,321.27, or 0.37^%oo cents per
cubic yard.
Nicolet Traverse (Lake St. Pet^r) . — One dredge worked for half the season
at Nicolet traverse, deepening the channel to 35 feet E.L.W. and widening the
channel from 350 feet to 450 feet. The material consisted of clay, stones and
boulders and good progress was made, the widening on the south side being com-
pleted and that on the north side commenced.
The total number of cubic vards dredged amounted to 167,250 at a cost of
$73,131.22, or 0 43'^%oo cents per cubic yard.
He au Rahin. — Two powerful elevator dredges worked at lie au Raisin for
brief periods completing this channel to 35 feet E.L.AV. The material was clay.
The total number of cubic yards removed amounted to 41,520 at a cost of
$30,993.86 or 0-74fi"yioo cents per cubic yard.
Stone Island. — Two elevator dredges worked here for one month each,
completing this channel to 35 feet E.L.W. The material dredged consisted of
clay with some small stones.
The total number of cubic yards dredged amounted to 170,120 at a total
cost of $61,062.59, or 0 358%o(. cents per cubic yard.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 31
Sorel to He de Grace. — Two powerful elevator dredges worked for short
periods, deepening this channel to 35 feet E.L.W. The material dredged con-
sisted of clay and sand.
The total number of cubic yards dredged amounted to 91,490 at a cost of
,940.59, or 0-753%oo cents per cubic yard.
Longue Pointe Curve. — One powerful elevator dredge worked at Longue
Pointe curve for over three months, widening the cuiwe on the south from 500
feet to 650 feet and deepening to 35 feet E.L.W. The material dredged was
clay, stones, gravel and sand and good progress was made. This section of the
channel was almost completed.
The total number of cubic yards removed amounted to 221,250 at a cost
of $80,814.48, or 0-365%oo cents per cubic yard.
Longue Pointe Traverse. — One powerful elevator dredge worked at Longue
Pointe traverse for half the season and completed this section of the channel
to a depth of 35 feet E.L.W. The material dredged was clay and gravel.
The total number of cubic yards removed amounted to 202,250 at a total
cost of 170,422.66, or 0-34S2/ioo cents per cubic yard.
Maisonneuve — Longue Pointe Course. — One elevator dredge worked at
Poulier-a-Gagnon during the entire season, deepening the channel to 35 feet
E.L.W. The material proved to be hard pan, clay and shale and while very
hard, satisfactory progress was made.
The total number of cubic yards dredged amounted to 88,055 at a cost of
$124,828.14, or $1.41 ■^^00 cents per cubic yard.
North Channel Below Quebec. — The powerful sea-going elevator dredge
No. 16 was operated all season in the North channel, dredging to 35 feet,
extreme low tide and 500 feet wide, following out the department's policy of
completing the channel to this width as soon as possible, opening it for naviga-
tion and then eventually widening it to 1,000 feet. One and one-quarter mile
of 500-foot channel was completed this season and the material dredged con-
sisted of sand, clay and boulders.
This channel, w^ith a minimum width of 500 feet and a minimum depth of
25 feet was opened to navigation this season.
The large, powerful sea-going hydraulic dredge No. 8 (Beaujeu) has now
been converted into an elevator dredge and will b€ ready for the opening of the
next dredging season, when it is hoped to employ her also in deepening the
North channel. With this additional dredge, progress will be considerably
greater.
The total number of cubic yards dredged during the season of 1927 amounted
to 1,099,950 at a cost of $287,396.00, or 0-26i3/joo cents per cubic yard.
The total number of cubic yards dredged by the whole fleet of dredges
above and below Quebec during the season of 1927 amounted to 3,258,320 at a
cost of $1,369,075.54, or 0-4207/100 cents per cubic yard.

The total number of cubic yards dredged in the River St. Lawrence Ship
Channel from 1851 to the end of the season of 1927, amounted to 131,976,168;
the material varying from very hard slate rock to soft blue clay.
Tidal Semaphores
Cap a La Roche. — The tidal semaphore at Cap a la Roche (Deschaillons,
P.Q.) situated on the south shore of the St. Lawrence river and which indicates
the available depth of water in the dredged channel was put in operation on
April 19, 1927.
Pointe Citrouille. — The tidal semaphore at Pointe Citrouille situated on the
north shore of the St. Lawrence, 10^ miles above Cap a la Roche, was put into
operation the same day. This semaphore is connected with Cap a la Roche
semaphore by special telephone line to enable the operator at Cap a la Roche
to telephone the operator at Pointe Citrouille every three inches of rise or fall
of the tide, as the case may be. The Pointe Citrouille semaphore shows th(; depth
in feet by large figures and inches by small semaphore. This semaphore enables
the pilot of a deep draught vessel outward bound to judge if there is sufficient
depth of water in the dredged channel at Cap a la Roche to pass in safety.
If not, it gives him time to get ready to anchor below Pointe Citrouille where
there is a good anchorage ground, and where he can wait for the tide to rise
sufficiently to enable him to pass at Cap a la Roche.
St. Nicholas. — The tidal semaphore at St. Nicholas point, on the south side of
the St. Lawrence river, a distance of 15 miles above Quebec, shows the depth
of water available in the undredged channel over St. Augustin bar, commenced
operations on April 20, 1927.
Crane Island. — On recommendation made to this department by the Ship-
ping Federation of Canada, it was decided to establish a tidal semaphore on
Crane Island wharf to show the depth of water available in the dredged
channel in Beaujeu channel and St. Thomas channel. The lighthouse at the
end of the wharf at Crane island was fitted out with arms to show similar signals
as shown at Cap a la Roche and St. Nicholas. This semaphore was operated
for the first time on July 28, 1925, and gave satisfaction. It commenced opera-
tions for season of 1927 on April, 24.
Sweeping Operations. — The annual sweeping of the Ship Channel was done
by the sweeping steamer Detector and no obstructions of a serious nature were
found. The tug James Hoivden, with a sweeping scow, proved some of the 35
feet dredging and it is expected that, next season, further proving of dredging
will be done. The Detector was also occupied proving dredging above and below
Quebec, and in sweeping part of the new North channel opened this year to
navigation for 25 feet depth at extreme low water.

ICEBREAKIXG, 1927-28
iu::poet of alphokse lafleche, exgixeer. river st. law^rexce ship channei.,
on the work of the icebre.\kixg steamers "' l.\dy grey " and '' mikula "
during the winter of 1927-28.
The Lady Grey was placed on her usual icebreaking station at Three Rivers
on December 1. The season was comparatively open, and there were but very
few ships to leave for the sea in the latter part of the navigation season. There
was very little icebreaking required at Three Rivers and, navigation havving
closed, this icebreaker left for Quebec on December 14.
The Mikula was stationed at Quebec as usual during the closing days of
navigation to cope with any emergency that might occur. She was called upon
to escort the hopper barge Foremost inward bound. She left Quebec on Decem-
ber 12 and arrived back the next day.
Due to the unusual height of the water the ice bridge at Port St. Francis
formed only on January 10 and the river below this point remained open prac-
tically all season.
During the winter only two light jams occurred at Quebec bridge which
were easily broken by the Mikula and Lady Grey. By making occasional trips
to Portneuf and slicing the ice battures the Lady Grey managed to keep the river
open at this point all winter.
The Mikula made her usual trip to the north shore points below Quebec,
and Anticosti, leaving Quebec on February 16 and rettu-ning on February 29.
Before the spring breakup commenced the Lady Grey was sent on April 3
to open Port St. Francis and the lower part of lake St. Peter.
Due to a sudden thaw the various tributaries of the St. Lawrence reached
their flood stage suddenly and at the same time, while the ice in the river was
still unusually firm. A severe jam developed in the vicinity of Varennes, flood-
ing the lower part of Montreal island and the south shore opposite, causing
considerable damage to private property and blocking traffic.
The Mikula was sent on April 12 to help the Lady Grey, clearing out lake
St. Peter ice and, if possible, it was intended to send this vessel up river towards
Montreal. The channel was easily cut by the Mikula through lake St. Peter
but, as several piers of piled ice had formed during a shove previous to that
date, the ice on either side of the lake St. Peter channel did not move out in its
usual fashion. This created a situation that made it dangerous to send either
icebreaker farther up the river while this ice remained. Both ships therefore
worked on the lake St. Peter ice outside tiie channel with the Mikula making
occasional short trips to Sorel islands and Sorcl as the work proceeded and
opportunities occurred.
Meanwhile the jam at Varennes had broken, the floods had receded, and
the river was open from Montreal to Vercheres. On April 20 the Mikula broke
the last jam at Hay island though there was still about one-third of the lake
St. Peter ice holding. The last of this lake ice did not pass out of the lake till
buoy laying had actually commenced.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER
37
The Mikida returned to Quebec April 26 and prepared for her usual ice
patrol in the gulf. She left Quebec April 28 to relieve the Montcalm at Cabot
straits.
The Lady Grey arrived at Montreal iVpril 27 to proceed to the foot of the
Soulan,s;es canal to clear the accumulation of frazil ice as usual. This work was
completed by May 2 although an unusual amount of frazil was encountered for
a length of 2\ miles.

METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE
Report of Sir Frederic Stupart, Director
After striking from the lists stations from which no reports have been
received for some time, we find that we now have a total of 855 observing
stations, reporting to the Central Office, Toronto.
At 352 of these stations the observer is paid a small salary, ranging from
$12 per annum to as much as $2,400, at a chief station.
There are 116 storm signal display stations, at which the agent is either
paid $75 or $100 per annum according to the length of the season of navigation.
At 503 of the observing stations the work is performed gratuitously by
voluntary observers who furnish climatic data which is utilized for the benefit
of the country at no other cost but that of instruments and occasional replace-
ments, and postage.
FORECAST DIVISION
The weather map has been prepared twice daily, Sundays and holidays
included, throughout the year and forecasts were issued for the various parts
of the Dominion, Newfoundland and adjacent waters. Stoma warnings were
also issued as occasion warranted.
The percentage of verification of forecasts was 87 per cent and of storm
warnings 91-3 per cent.
48 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Special forecasts were issued daily during the fire weather season to the
Forestry officials in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta. Instruments were installed
at 11 new stations in Quebec in connection with the fire weather work.
Special forecasts were issued daily during the spring and summer to the
fruit-growers of the Niagara peninsula.
During the winter, numerous forecasts were issued as in past years, to
transportation companies and shippers of perishable goods.
The forestry stations in Ontario and Quebec and the chief stations in
Newfoundland were inspected by members of the forecast staff.
The system of forest fire weather forecasting continues to expand and most
of the provincial forestr^^ departments are in active co-operation with the
Meteorological Service; the service has equipped numerous stations with
hydrographs and other meteorological instruments, and has undertaken the
inspection of these stations.
Immediately following the despatch of the regular daily forecasts, special
forecasts bearing especially on the requirements of foresters have been, and will
again this coming year, be despatched to forestry centres, and no effort will be
spared in making the system an ever growing success.
DIVISION OF CLIMATOLOGY
During the year the publication of the Monthly Record of jMeteorological
Observations in Canada, Newfoundland and Bermuda, has been continued.
This consists of 87 pages monthly, giving daily figures of temperature and pre-
cipitation for several hundred stations as well as monthly means and extremes
and differences from normal. Daily figures of pressure, wind, sunshine and
humidity, with means, are given for stations of the first class, and hourly figures
for chief stations. Data from fifty-four additional new stations appear this
year.
The monthly Weather Map has been issued at the end of the first week
of each month, giving a preliminary summary of the abnormalities of the
weather of the preceding month, as well as notes on the progress of crops when
available. During tbs year advantage has been taken of radio communication
from the north, to extend this summary to cover the weather of the far north-
west, Hudson strait and Greenland.
Each week during the season of growth a special report showing the differ-
ence from normal of the weather of the preceding week is made and telegraphed
to Washington for inclusion in Weather, Crops and Market, each Wednesday.
Special reports on weather or climate have been furnished upon request for
legal, engineering, agricultural, medical, research or other purposes to a large
number of enquirers, necessitating a large amount of copying.
Progress in preparing a manuscript report on the climate and weather of
the last forty years in Eastern and Northern Canada has continued.
Data for future compilation on comparative weather and crop growth
continues to be accumulated.
ATMOSPHERIC PHYSICS
The International Commission for the Exploration of the Upper Air
designated October, 1927, and March, 1928, as the international months for
sending up balloons carrying recording instruments from which the temperature
and pressure of the upper air at all levels reached by the balloons can be
obtained. During these two months 47 ascents were made from Calgary, Alta.,
45 from Goderich, Ont., and 33 from Woodstock, Ont. To date the recoveries
have been 29, 39, and 18, respectively, or slightly over 61 per cent of those sent
up. The recoveries from Goderich have been better than from Woodstock. An
instrument sent up from Woodstock on March 28 was found at Gay Head,
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 49
Mass., having travelled about 500 miles; it reached a height of 6-5 miles and
the lowest temperature recorded was 60 degrees below zero, while the tempera-
ture at the surface was 26 degrees. The highest ascent was made from Calgary
on March 26, when the balloon reached a height of 10-5 miles and recorded a
temperature of 85 degrees below zero; the average height of the ascents was
8-5 miles.
The results of the ascents made in May, 1926, were prepared for the meet-
ing of the International Commission for the Exploration of the Upper Air at
Leipzic in August, 1927.
During the year the investigation of the aneroid used in the balloon
meteorograph was continued and has resulted in developing a method whereby
the disks out of which the aneroids are made can be spun from the best quality
of phosphor bronze without annealing. The aneroids are partially exhausted
of air and dried very carefully; they have proved to be superior to all the previous
ones.
The frame of the meteorograph has also been simplified and lightened and
at the same time after some years of experimenting a satisfactory and simple
arrangement for raising the pen from the writing surface just before it reaches
the ground has been obtained.
Pilot balloons. — Pilot balloon observations to obtain the direction and
velocity of the wind in the upper levels of the atmosphere were continued
throughout the year at Toronto and Camp Borden. At the former place balloons
were sent up on 255 days. The highest flight occurred on August 26, when a
height of nearly 9 miles was reached; at this level the wind was 30 miles an
hour from the south west.
To provide upper air data for use of the aviators, for air mail services and
the airship route from Britain to Canada, equipment has been assembled during
the year sufficient to begin at least twelve new pilot balloon stations during the
summer of 1928. The existing methods of carrying out the work have been
revised and modified as experience has indicated so that the equipment now
provided will enable the work to be done expeditiously. The instructions for
pilot balloon work have been rewritten to conform with the methods to be
adopted. Meteorological equipment has also been assembled for the pilot
balloon stations that are not at present taking meteorological observations.
Sea Water Temperatures. — The thermographs on the three boats of the
Canadian Pacific ocean services plying between Vancouver and Hong Kong
have been in operation throughout the year. The ss. Aorajigi of the Canadian
Australasian Line and the ss. Canadian Fisher and Canadian Forester of the
Canadian Government Merchant Marine between Montreal or Halifax and
Bermuda and the West Indies have been equipped during the year. On the
route to Australia it is found that the water is colder at the Equator than on
either side of it. The route from Canada to Bermuda crosses the Gulf Stream
almost at right angles and thus affords an excellent opportunity to study the
position of the Gulf Stream; to do this most accurately the thermographs are
provided with daily charts. On the first occasion as the boat was returning
from Bermuda to Montreal the boundary of the Gulf Stream did not appear to
be more than five miles wide as the temperature dropped 13 degrees in this
distance.
The thermograph temperatures obtained during the past four years in the
North Pacific have all been collected in 5-degree quadrangles by weeks instead
of months and the normals obtained. A preliminary study has been made to
see if there is any connection between the temperature of the sea water and
the character of the winters in Canada but the results are still too meagre to
draw any conclusions. This, however, may be stated that there has been a
65702—4
50
MARINE AND FISHERIES
progressive increase of temperature from 1922 to 1926 in the water of the North
Pacific. The investigation has also revealed that, especially during the summer
months, the water is colder along the shores and begins to get warmer about
300 miles out. From the experience gained on the three routes it appears that
the best range for the thermographs is from 30 degrees to 90 degrees instead
of 35 degrees to 85 degrees and it has been decided to adopt this range for all
ocean temperature measurements; this still enables the temperatures to be read
to 0-2 degrees F.
An account of the methods used in obtaining sea water temperatures and
the preliminary results of the investigation were presented to a joint meeting
of the section on Oceanography and Meteorology of the American Geophysical
Union, Washington, on April 26, 1928.
Earth Temveratures. — Daily readings to OOl'^F. of platinum thermometers
at eight depths: Surface, 4 inches, 10 inches, 20 inches, 40 inches, 66 inches,
9 feet, and 15 feet were taken throughout the year. The minimum and maxi-
mum temperatures with the dates on which they occurred and the range at each
of the depths are given in the table.

Evaporation. — The amount of water evaporated from a surface 6 feet square
was measured daily from April to October, inclusive. The amount by months
was: April, 211 inches; May, 2-27 inches; June, 3-38 inches; July, 3-80
inches; August, 3-22 inches; September, 2-22 inches; October, 1-42 inches; or
a total of 18-42 inches for the season. Omitting April the amount was 16-31
inches, as against 15-74 inches for the same period last year.
Solar Radiation. — The amount of heat received from the sun was measured
by an Angstrom pyrheliometer. The observations were taken between 11 a.m.
and 1 p.m. on all days when there were no clouds or thick haze crossing the face
of the sun during the observations. There were only sixty occasions during the
year when observations were possible under these conditions. The greatest
amount of heat received on a square centimetre (016 square inch) was 1-437
gramme calories per minute as against 1-453 the previous year.
Atmospheric Pollution and Visibility. — Observations of the amount of dust
in the atmosphere in Toronto and near Aurora, Ont., have been commenced
during the year in an investigation into the relationship between visibility and
the dust content of the atmosphere. A new method of measuring visibility is
also being worked out whereby it will simply be necessary to observe on an
object a short distance away and read the visibility on a scale. The instrument
consists of a piece of glass gradually becoming more and more opaque until no
light gets through and is called a neutral wedge; a position is found where the
object is just visible and no more; it is found that this ])o?ition is dependent
on the visibility and consecjuently the wedge can be calibrated in terms of the
visibility.
Wind Equipment. — Working drawings of the new anemograph as finally
designed last year were prepared and fifty instruments arc now nearly com-

51
pleted at a cost of about $100 each, or about 60 per cent of the cost of the older
type. The anemometer tower has been redesigned, simplified and standardized.
Dines pressure tube anemometers and direction recorders have been ordered for
some of the Air Force stations in order to study the actual structure of the wind.
TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM
The Agincourt Magnetic Observatory has been maintained in operation
throughout the year. Continuous photographic records of the movements of the
magnetic needle and the variation in the force acting upon it were secured.
At Meanook new photographic equipment for the declination and horizontal
force was installed during July, and we are now securing continuous record of
H as well as of the D. Since this installation was made the time elapsed has
not been sufficient to give final base line results for reduction and the values
given in the tables are only approximate.
Large magnetic disturbances were of frequent occurrence during the year.
The most important ones were recorded on April 13, 14, May 5, July 21, 22,
August 20, 21, and October 12, 22, and 23. At Agincourt the range of disturb-
ance was from 2° to 3° in declination, from 600 to 800 gammas in horizontal
force and from 250 to 700 gammas in vertical force. At Meanook the declina-
tion range was considerably in excess of 3"" and during the August and October
disturbances the horizontal force variations were about double the magnitude
of those at Agincourt.
The regular programs of absolute observations were made at both observa-
tories with the exception of the months of December and January at Meanook,
when the observer through illness was forced to omit a number of observations.
The results of observations for the year 1923 have been completed and are
now in the printer's hands. Work on the 1924 results is proceeding.
Magnetic cliaracter tables were as usual prepared and forwarded to the
International Commission on Terrestrial Magnetism.
At the request of the Surveyor-General, index corrections for compasses
attached to thirty-nine (39) surveyors' theodolites were determined and the
results forwarded to him.
Assistance was given to members of the staff of the Dominion Observatory
and the Topographical Surveys Branch in standardizing their instruments for
use in field work.
The accompanying tables summarize the results at Agincourt and Meanook
for the fiscal year 1927-28:—

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 53
ASTRONOMY
Observations were made on eighty-four days, for the purpose of obtaining
correct time by meridian transits of stars with the 3-inch Troughton and Simms
transit telescope. Positions of stars used were taken from the British Nautical
Almanac or the American Ephemeris.
Instrumental, constants were redetermined about once a month.
The number of enquirers for correct time continues to increase. Each
M-eek day at 11.55 a.m. exactly a time signal is transmitted over the fire alarm
system for the city of Toronto. Once a w^eek time signals are telegraphed
to Agincourt Observatory, for the purpose of controlling errors and rates of their
clocks and chronometers.
Time exchanges were made about once a month with Quebec, St. John,
N.B., and Montreal. The results of these exchanges show an average difference
of about half a sjcond.
Observations of Sunspots with the 6-inch equatorial were made on 118
days and on no occasion was the sun free of spots. The mean relative numbers
for the months of the civil year 1927, as deduced from these observations were
as follows: January, 103-1; February, 92-7; March, 69-3; April, 100-9; May,
81-7; June, 87-7; July, 46-5; August, 36-0; September, 82-1; October, 78-0;
November, 72-4; December, 31-8, Yearly mean 73-5, an increase of 1-8 over the
year 1926.
A large number of visitors were privileged to view the heavens through
the equatorial telescope.
SEISMOLOGY
The Milne-Shaw seismographs which superseded the old Milne instrument
some 5'ears ago, have been maintained in operation throughout the year and
have recorded many important earthquakes. The constants were duly checked
and the loss of trace throughout from photographic failure was small. On some
occasions the control clock failed, but was soon set right. Both driving-clocks
were overhauled and cleaned in September and the bearings were found badly
worn. It may be necessary in the near future to supersede these spring clocks
with a better movement.
During the year, 282 earthquakes were recorded; 44 less than last year.
The greater number of these were slight records of distant earthquakes. August
showed the greatest monthly number, namely, 39; and October and December
the least with 14. The dates of the most important, given in G.M.T. were:
April 10. — Felt 1,000 miles along the Chilean coast.
April 16. — Kamchatka.

]\'Iarch 16. — South of the Fiji Islands.
March 22.— Lat. 14°, Long 95° W. (coast of Mexico).
March 31. — Smyrna earthquake.
The monthly bulletins giving the times of the most important phases of
the record, together with the Victoria, B.C., tabulations are forwarded to a num-
ber of seismological centres and stations throughout the world. There has been
a marked increase in the requests for our bulletins from foreign countries.
These bulletins in conjunction with various stations throughout the world afford
material for the study of the speed of the various wave phases of earthquakes
passing through and tend to disclose the material comprising the central portion
of our earth. Bromide copies of the records are often called for and in some
cases the original curves are loaned to seismological bureaus for seismic study.
We continue to supply information to the public and press regarding the dist^
ance and epicentre of large quakes, such information generally being available
as soon as the records are developed. Tabulation of the records are up to Decem-
ber, 1927.
Library Report
fiscal year ending march 31, 1928
For the library 210 new books were received and 184 periodicals, besides
numerous pamphlets. Of the magnetic year-book 108 copies and of the Toronto
year-books for 1925 and 1926, 224 and 231 copies were sent out.
Each day 465 copies of the Daily Weather Map were sent out, each month
552 copies of the Monthly Weather Map and 902 copies of the Monthly
Record of Meterological Observations were sent out.
The Toronto Year-book for 1927 is in progress and will soon be published.
Appendix "A"
The Director of the Quebec Observatory reports as follows:
During the j'-ear under review the usual meteorological observations have
been taken regularly and foi-warded to your office, and all the instruments under
my care have been kept in good order.
The weather bulletins issued by the Central Bureau have been published
daily in the local newspapers, and posted in the different public buildings in
the city.
Tlie number of inquiries for information regarding local weather conditions
has steadily increased during the past year. These requests were principally
from farmers, tourist agencies, engineers and contractors, etc. I had also on
frequent occasions to give infonnation to transportation companies carrying
perishable goods, and also to insurance companies with respect to accidents in
and outside the city.
Statistics covering long periods were prepared and furnished to several
people and corporations as well as reports to be used in the different courts.
I have also given general information concerning the weather conditions,
and the exact time to aviators connected with the Mail Service and also to
Commander De Pinedo, and Commander Byrd who personally called at my
office.
I have tested and adjusted several barometers, thermometers and chrono-
meters.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 55
Standard stars were observed regularly and the correct time given by
means of the noon gun, the time-ball, and by telephone to watchmakers and
the general public.
May I be permitted to draw again your attention to the present state of
the Observatory buildings.
These wooden buildings, owing to long exposure, are in such dilapidated
condition, that I consider them unsafe, and unfit to be repaired, and 1 would
ask you to please give your kind and favourable consideration to my present
request to be supplied with safer quarters.
x\pPENDIX " B "
The Director of the St. John, N.B., Observatory reports as follows: —
METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE
The meteorological work has been carried on in the usual manner; readings
are taken at 9 a.m., 3 p.m. and 9 p.m., Atlantic standard time. The 9 a.m. and
9 p.m. readings are coded and telegraphed to the Central Office.
Weather bulletins have been issued daily and mailed to the different parties
requiring the same.
Information requested by railways and engineers, regarding weather con-
ditions, past and present, have been cheerfully furnished.
Storm warnings have been displayed on the signal mast of the Customs
House at Point Lepreaux on receipt of telegram from Central Office. Acknow-
ledgment of notice to hoist or take down signals have been rigidly adhered to.
Broadcasting of the daily weather reports have been recently inaugurated
by station C.F.B.O. Saint John, 336-9 metres. Steamships and fishermen along
the coasts of New Brunswick and Nova Scotia and in the Bay of Fundy, within
a radius of two hundred miles from Saint John, have been obtaining these
reports on their radio sets with complete satisfaction and have shown their appre-
ciation by telegrams and letters to those in charge of the local station.
TIME SERVICE
Observations of stars have been made as frequently as possible on avail-
able clear nights for the establishment of clock rates. Daily comparisons
have been made between the mean time and Riefler clocks and necessary
corrections made.
Time signals are automatically sent from our mean time transmitting clock
every week day over the Western Union wires to all their offices in the Mari-
time Provinces, as well as to the Canadian National, Dominion Atlantic and
Canadian Pacific Railway companies. Automatic signals for broadcasting are
sent over the Canadian Pacific Railway land lines to Chebucto Head.
On Tuesdays and Fridays at 10 p.m. and every week day at 3 p.m. the
regular time signal is transmitted from our mean time clock by land line to
station C.N.R.O. of the Canadian National Railway, Moncton, N.B., and broad-
casted to all places within the zone of their station.
The daily time signals in Saint John and Halifax have been given to
shipping and others by the dropping of the time ball on the Customs House
and Citadel respectively.
In saint John the system of hourly synchronizing ofiice, street and tower
clocks continues to give most satisfactory and useful results.
In December, the service sustained a serious loss in death of D. L. Hutchin-
son, who had been a trusted and valued official officer for a long period. To
Mr. Hutchinson's endeavours have largely been due the very efficient time service
of the Maritime Provinces, and he will be a difficult man to replace.

Appendix " C "
The Director of the Gonzales Heights Observatory, Victoria, B.C., reports
as follows: —
During the past year the regular meteorological and seismological obsen^a-
tions have been taken here, and daily weather forecasts issued for the following
districts, South Vancouver Island, Lower Mainland, Okanagan, and Kootenay.
During the summer months special fire weather warnings were issued to the
Dominion and provincial Forestry Departments, and daily radio broadcasting of
these conditions were carried out both at Victoria and Vancouver for the benefit
of the general public and the logging interests. Wind and weather forecasts are
also issued daily by the Dom Radio Station here in the morning for small craft
on the Straits of Fuca and Georgia, and at night a general forecast is sent out
for the Coast from Alaska to the Columbia river.
TIME SERVICE !
The clocks and chronometers have given perfect satisfaction as to rates,;
errors and the electric contacts for the recording instruments. The Time Ball
which is installed on a high city building has been dropped regularly from here
at 1 p.m., and the noon and 9.30 p.m. time guns have been regularly fired from
here by signal.
SEISMOLOGY
The Milne-Shaw seisanograpbs have been in continuous operation and an
average of nearly one quake per day has been recorded on these instruments,
and acting upon your instructions, details of the larger quakes are promptly
weired to Washington, where they assist in locating the positions of these great
disturbances shortly after they 'have occurred.
The daily slow movements of the other N-S and E-W horizontal pendulums
have been observed, and from the long series of observations now obtained
(nearly 30 years), they indicate several interesting phenomena including a
probable S.E. tilt of this coastal region.
INSPECTIONS
During last June I inspected our stations in Kootenay, Okanagan and the
Kamloops districts, including the forestry centres at Kamloops, Cranbrook and
Penticton.
In December a special meeting of the Britisli Columbia and Alberta
Dominion Foresters and Provincial Foresters was held here when we fully
discussed improved methods for co-operation in connection with the warning of
forest fire weather.
In February I attended the W^estern Forestry Conservation Association
at Tacoma, where I represented our service and spoke on co-operation with the
United States Weather Bureau.
VISITORS
I am pleased to state this institution is becoming very well and favourably
known and during the past year over 3,500 visitors were shown through here,
and since the observatory was opened in April, 1914, nearly 27,000 visitors
have been through here.

PILOTAGE REPORT
Captain G. E. L. Robertson, Director Pilotage
The Honourable the Minister of Marine and Fisheries is the Pilotage
Authority for the Pilotage Districts of Montreal, Quebec, Saint John, Halifax
and Sydney, and all matters relating to pilotage in these districts are dealt with
through the local superintendents at the above-mentioned places.
district of MONTREAL
At the opening of the 1927 season there were 51 pilots and 20 apprentices in
this district. During the season 5 apprentices were examined and satisfactorily
passed as pilots making a total of 56 pilots, and, as further apprentices were
also added, making 24 apprentices on March 31, 1928.
The first arrivals at Montreal at the commencement of the season were a
co:tsting vessel on April 12, an ocean going vessel on April 17, and an inland
water vessel on April 24.
The gross earnings of the pilots were $293,316.47 for the season as com-
pared with $257,325.37 for the 1926 season: an increase of $35,991.10 over 1926.
The total number of vessels piloted inward was 2,240; outward, 2,147;
w^hich makes a combined total of 4,387 vessels with a net tonnage of 11,866,275,
as compared with 3,827 vessels with a net tonnage of 9,948,278 in 1926. This
is an increase of 560 vessels with a net tonnage of 1,917,997.
The last departures from the port of Montreal at the end of the season
were: an inland vessel December 2, coasting and ocean going December 6.
In this district 5 per cent of the gross earnings of the pilots is deducted for
the Montreal Pilot's Pension Fund, which fund is administered bv the Depart-
ment of Finance. The fund amounted to $106,280.33 on March 31, 1928.
New by-laws were made and authorized by the Governor General in Coun-
cil, Septemi^er 16, 1927 (1824), published in the Canada Gazette on September
24. 1927, and printed for distribution.
DISTRICT OF QUEBEC
At the opening of the 1927 season, there were 47 pilots and 21 apprentices
in tliis district, one apprentice was passed and given his pilot's license during
the season, but no further apprentices were appointed. This made a total of
48 pilots and 20 apprr ntices on March 31, 1928.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 63
Father Point Pilotage Station opened on April 5, with the first vessel out-
bound on April 5, and the first inward vessel on April 16, 1927.
The gross earnings of the pilots were $1296,238.46 for the season, as copi-
pared with $247,393.30 for the 1926 season, an increase of $48,845.16.
The total number of vessels piloted inward was 2,156; outward, 1,931;
which makes a combined total of 4,087 vessels with a net tonnage of 12,112,519,
as compared with 3,455 vessels of 10,496,171 tons in 1926. This is an increase
of 632 vessels and an increased net tonnage of 1,616,348 over the 1926 season.
The Pilotage Station at Father Point was closed December 12, 1927, after
the last vessel passed out. The pilot tender Jalobert was brought to Father
Point and drydocked for the season. SS Jalobert and two launches were on the
station.
In this district 7 per cent of the gross earnings of the pilots is deducted for
the Pension Fund. This fund is administered by the Quebec Pilot's Corpora-
tion, and amounted to $106,788.38 on December 31, 1927. In addition to the
pension received from the corporation, certain retired pilots (35 in number)
receive an annual allowance from the Government of $300 each.
GENERAL — MONTREAL AND QUEBEC
Mr. R. A. Wiallard, Montreal, is the acting superintendent for these dis-
tricts, and Mr. F. J. Boulay, Quebec, is the assistant superintendent.
All expenses for the Pilotage service at Montreal and Quebec are paid
out of public funds. These amounted to $13,408.78 for the District of Montreal,
and $69,662.77 for the District of Quebec, the latter including the cost of the
maintenance of the pilot tender Jalobert and pilotage launches.
The pilot Tender Jalobert and launches in addition to the pilotage work
attend also to the Quarantine Station, doctors being attached to the Jalobert
allowing of practique being given to ships provided there is no contagious
disease on board. This does awav with delavs to ships having to stop at Grosse
Isle.
The Jalobert lands the mails for all eastern points, and also handles mail
betv\'een ship and aeroplane and vice versa for the aerial mail service which
was started during the season. This included 5.629 bags and 1,822 baskets, and
a considerable quantity of loose mail, also 172 bags of letters on out-going ships
during the 1927 season. The Customs officers are also put on board and taken
off ships. Five services are, therefore, centralized at Father Point, which means
a considerable economy to the federal Government and satisfaction to shipping.
DISTRICT OF SAINT JOHN

tices in the district, during the year, two pilots were retired having reached
the retirement age, and accepted their pensions.

the season.
The Columba was sold out of the service and a new vessel is being built
for the service, so that by tlic beginning of the 1928-29 season, the port of
Halifax will have two very able vessels that are a credit to the Pilotage service.

ANNUAL REPORT ON SABLE ISLAND
H. F. Henry, Superintendent
An unknown trawler reported he was ashore on the Northeast bar and
later he reported he was clear; was unable to get his name. Considerable
wreckage came ashore last August, such as ship's timbers, oars and parts of
dories; during gale of August five schooners were lost near island. Damage
was done to No. 3 barn; the roof blew off and the tide rose to such a height
that it destroj^ed considerable of the island crop.
The C.G.S. Arras arrived at island with five Lunenburg schooner masters
to try and identify wreckage strewn about beach.
Various repairs carried out at all stations as usual, such as repairing fences,
barns, doors, and shingling. In addition. No. 3 Station had to shingle barn,
having been damaged by gale. At Main Station considerable repairs were
made; shingled north side warehouse, repaired doors of dairy, horse barn, cow
barn, life-boat shed, and men's house. Hauled many tons of sand away from
life-boat shed to repair sills which were badly decayed; placed a sill 51 feet
long under east .-ide and one 28 feet long under north side; boarded in side and
end and then shingled it. The West Light was scraped and painted under the
direction of E. R. Morrison, of the Halifax Agency of the Marine and Fisheries.
F. Fultz, G. Goddard, and two assistants visited East Light to make temporary
repairs to floor under lantern.

when seed was received fields were planted; hauled over 120 loads manure
to hay and vegetable fields. The crop was damaged by August gale, and the
combined crop of island does not include vegetables used from August to harvest.
Combined crop was 120 bushels potatoes, 7 barrels cabbage, 6 barrels turnips,
and a fair crop from other seed.
Shipped 8 barrels cranberries to agent. Marine and Fisheries. The bogs
filled up with water, making it near impossible to get any cranberries. Main
Station cut and stowed 60 loads of hay in barns; 18 loads were fine hay. All
other stations filled barns with hay.
No. 4 Station was closed by authority of the department. The staff was
reduced to fifteen men, and the department raised the staff's pay accordingly.

MARINE AND FISHERIES
Sydney, N.S., Subagency
All aids to navigation in this harbour and nearby coast line have been well
maintained during the past year, and for this reason no groundings or collisions
have taken place; this together with the very efficient pilotage service now
maintained may be accepted as the reason why shipowTiers or shipmastei? have
filed no complaints.
Canadian Government steamers Lady Laurier and Arranmore have lifted
and placed the buoys, carried supplies to lighthouses, and at the same time gave
attention to all matters assigned by the department. Ice breaker C.G.S. Mont-
calm was again assigned to winter duty relieving shipping in this port as well as
at the -^-inter port, Louisburg and at other ports or places when required. Owing
to favourable winds, Cabot strait did not require very special attention this
spring, the C.G.S. Montcalm doing practically all the convoying required.
Sydney harbour is well provided with ship-repair shops, but with the
exception of ceriain repairs to machinery and boilers, vessels required but veiy
little attention, and this is quite noticeable because of the very heavy traffic in
which is engaged ships carrying cargoes many running as high as 12,000 tons,
and arriving and clearing almost hourly day and night, the conclusion is, the
harbour service given by the department, together with the shipmasters them-
selves, may be tlie reason for this safe navigation. Matters in which the Quebec
and Charlottetown agencies were interested received attention here.

agency, located at the following points: Alice arm, B.C.; Queen Charlotte city
and Massett, Queen Charlotte islands; Refuge bay on Porcher island, and
Stewart, B.C.
Each wharf has been regularly inspected and the condition reported on.
PUBLIC W^H.\RF, STEWART, B.C.
The above-mentioned wharf has been operated throughout the year under
the supervision of a wharfinger, Mr. H. C. Bennett, the traffic consisting mainly
of passenger and freight vessels of the Canadian National Steamship Company
and the Union Steamship Company, and the ore carriers of the Coastwise Steam-
ship and Barge Company, Limited.
Freight shipments inward were approximately the same as last year. Out-
ward shipments of ore, including concentrates, amounted to approximately
127,000 tons, which is a little in excess of the previous year.
Tolls, leviable in accordance with the regulations and tariff, have been
duly collected, and, less the wharfinger's remuneration of 25 per cent, been
forwarded to the department monthly, accompanied by the regular statements.
Collections for the fiscal year 1927-28 amounted to $3,774.44 gross, which
is considerably less than the amount of collections for the previous year, due
to concentrates naving been shipped in builk instead of in parcel shipments as
previously.
To keep the wharf open to traffic has necessitated the expenditure of
S340.20 for labour for the removal of snow during the winter season. This
amount is $137.40 in excess of the amount spent during the preceding year for
the same purpose.
The mining district adjacent to this wharf is being developed gradually,
and sliipments of freight, machinery, and ore portend a considerable increase in
the near future.

HYD'ROGRAPHIC SURVEY
Report of Captain F. Anderson, M.E.I.'C, Chief Hydrographer
At the request of the Department of National Revenue they were loaned the
C.G.'S. Bayfield which they eommissioned and operated in the Preventive
Service.
The following gives the general disposition: —
ATLANTIC COAST AND GREAT LAKES DIVISION
Gulf of St. Lawrence. — C.G.S. Acadia, under the command of Mr. J. U.
Beauchemin.
Bay of Fundy. — 'C.G.S. Cartier, under the command of Mr. Georges A.
Bachand.
Lake St. Clair. — Launch Boulton, under Mr. Edouard Ghysene.
PACIFIC COAST DIVISION
C.G.S. Lillooet, under the command of Mr. H. D. Pariseau and the Somass
in charge of Commander J. H. Knight, R.N.
HEADQUARTERS
Automatic Gauge Division, from Quebec to Port Arthur, in charge of Mr.
Charles A. Price.
Chart Preparation, Engraving and Printing, in charge of Mr. Gordon L.
Crichton.
Chart Distribution, in charge of Mr. Charles McGreevy.
GULF OF SAINT LAWRENCE (nORTH SHORE)
Operations off this coast were carried out from the C.G.S. Acadia, a vessel
of some thousand tons displacement, built especially to meet hydrographic
surveying requirements, and which was fitted out at Halifax and placed in
commission about the end of May. This party was under the command of Mr.
J. U. Beauchemin, assisted by Messrs. H. L. Leadman, M. A. MacKinnon and
F. C. G. Smith.
94 MARINE AND FISHERIES
The first week of June was spent at the Mingan ishands checking up clear-
ing marks, range lights, and examining shoals.
The main work of the season, from June 9 to September 22, was occupied
in carrying on operations from Sheldrake river to Seven islands.
Triangulation. — Four Canadian Geodetic stations located in this district
were used to good advantage; besides the above four main stations were built
and fixed by ship station triangulation. The secondaiy stations used for
marking the shore-line and boat-sounding were located by 40-foot pole traverse
which proved to be very accurate and expedient.
Sounding. — Owing to the unevenness of the bottom, boat sounding lines
about one cable apart were carried out to an average depth of 12 fathoms, the
ship-sounding extending off-shore about 15 miles to a depth of 100 fathoms.
All shoals were carefully examined and off-shore banks sounded closely from
the ship.
On September 22 the ship proceeded to Mutton bay where a week was
spent triangulating and sounding the har'bour and approaches thereto. The
above area was closely sounded and a range of day beacons erected marking the
channel leading from Dykes island into the harbour which will prove of great
assistance to vessels calling at this place.
During the season the ship called at Ellis bay, Anticosti island, locating
lights and other improvements in the harbour that the chart might be posted
to date.
Weather. — During the season twenty-seven per cent of the time was entirely
lost througli weather unsuitable for surveying purposes, in addition to which,
the time lost for coaling, left about sixty days on which it was possible to carry
out surveying operations.
On October 1 the ship arrived at Pictou, N.S., the survey staff returned
to Ottawa and the Acadia was handed over to the Dominion Fisheriies Com-
mission for a special cruise in connection with the Maritime Fisheries inquiry,
which terminated November 15, when the ship was laid up at Halifax foT the
winter.
Season's Work. — During the season the following work was carried out:
Ship-sounding, 1,145 miles; boat-sounding, 647 miles; coast-lining, 180 miles;
area sounded, over 570 square miles.
BAY OF FUNDY
Operations in this locality were carried out with the C.G.S. Cartier, a vessel
of some 900 tons displacement built especially for this service. The ship was
fitted out at Halifax and commissioned on May 20.
This survey was under the command of Mr. Georges A. Bachand, assisted
by Messrs. Norman Wilson and Reginald W. Bent, the latter, however, owing
to illness was unable to join the ship.
The season was chiefly occupied in surveying operations off the approach
to Saint John harbour, covering an area of 500 square miles.
As a result of the season's operations a much needed chart of the
approaches to Saint John on a scale of one inch to one nautical mile will be>
issued.
This chart extends seven miles eastward of Saint John to cape Spencer
and twenty-three miles to the westward to pointe Lcpreau. The last survey
of this locality was carried out many years ago; the chart is of small scale
and quite useless for the present needs of navigation.
The Cartier was laid uj) at Halifax early in October, the survey party
returning to Ottawa.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 95
LAKE ST. CLAIR
The survey of this lake was under the direction of Mr. Edouard Ghysene,
assisted by Mr. John L. Foreman, using the Boulton, a 45-foot sea-going
gasolene launch.
Early in May Mr. Ghysene proceeded to Outarde bay, St. Lawrence river,
for the purpose of relocating three sets of beacons and placing six can buoyte
marking the channel, also at Manicougan bay a little to the eastward of the
above, two sets of temporary ranges were erected and buoys placed to mark
the best water leading into the wharf of the Ontario Paper Company.
The main season's work consisted in a resurvey of the Canadian shores
of lake St. Clair, Ontario, which was started about the middle of June. It was
found unnecessary to carry out a new triangulation. the old United States
Lake Survey triangulation points being used whenever they could be definitely
located. The south and east coasts of the lake were resurveyed and sounded
from one mile west of the Puce river, joining up with the United States Lake
Survey of 1919 and carried well past the mouth of the Thames river. A
survey on a large scale of the approaches to Belle river was carried out.
The survey was closed for the season on October 1st; the launch was
hauled out and placed in winter quarters.
Season's Work. — A summary of the season's work shows that the follow-
ing was accomplished: — Boat-sounding 118 miles; Launch-sounding 450 miles;
Area sounded 85 square miles; Highways traversed 18 miles; Coast-line tra-
versed 36 miles.
PACIFIC COAST
Operations on this coast were carried out with the C.G.S. Lillooet, a vessel
of some 800 tons displacement and built especially for this service.
This division of the Hydrographic Service is under the direction of Mr.
H. D. Pariseau, assisted by Commander J. H. Knight, R.N., and Messrs. L. R.
Davies, W. K. Willis and R. H. Ettershank, the latter of which having received
a temporary appointment to the staff last spring. The Lillooet was fitted out
at Victoria and placed in commission about the end of May.
The early part of the season was occupied in surveying False creek,
Burrard inlet, also several small surveys and sweepings in Vancouver harbour.
In the latter part of June the ship proceeded to Quatsino sound where several
old triangulation marks were reestablished that the provincial Government may
connect them up with Canadian Geodetic positions in the Queen Charlotte
strait.
While in this locality a rock in Verney bay, Rupert island was located,
also a small survey in the vicinity of a cannery in Koprino harbour was carried
out.
On July 1 the houseboat Somass was commissioned under Commander
J. H. Knight, R.N., assisted by Mr. R. H. Ettershank, for service in Laredo
inlet, which work was completed early in October. The main work of the sea-
son until September 20 consisted in surveying off the west coast of Aristazabal
island and the western portion of the Gander islands group.
The latter part of the month was occupied in completing a survey of the
entrance to False creek, Burrard inlet, and connecting up the outside triagu-
lation with that of Vancouver harbour.
The Lillooet returned to Victoria on October 28 and proceeded to lay up
for the winter.
As a result of the season's operations new charts of Prince Rupert harbour
and Laredo sound and approaches will be issued.

AUTOMATIC GAUGES
This division of the Hydrographic Survey is under Mr. Charles A. Price,
who has as his assistants Messrs. W. J. Miller, A. S. Matthewman, and H. P.
Williams. During the past season forty-three automatic water gauges were
operated on the Great lakes and St. Lawerence river between Quebec and Port
Arthur, including two new gauges installed at Point Edward and Port Lambton
in the St. Clair river and the reinstallation of a gauge at Couteau du lac in the
St. Lawrence river which had not been in operation since 1925.
With the exception of two gauges on the Great Lakes at Gros Cap and
Port Dalhousie, and four in the St. Lawrence river where the spring high water
makes it impossible to operate them, records were obtained during the twelve
months of the year, affording very satisfactory and valuable results, the import-
ance of which increases each year for scientific and surveying purposes.
The standardization of gauge clocks, which was commenced in 1925, has
been carried forward as planned, and there are now only two gauges with clocks
which are not interchangeable, both of which will be completed in 1928.
Precise Water Transfers. — Special water-surface transfers for the purpose
of checking and strengthening the net of precise levels by the Geodetic Survey
of Canada in the vicinity of the Great lakes have given rather astonishing
results of accuracy in the closure of various circuits which further justify the
conclusion that differences in elevation can be determined by water-surface
transfers to a higher degree of precision than by precise land levels. Another
season of observations will be required to complete the computations, then a
continuous yearly check will be available for the major points of reference.
Special graphs of outstanding storm effects and barometric seiches were
prepared upon request, this data in many cases solving discrepancies in hydrau-
lic problems and the reason for boats temporarily grounding in harbours where
suflEicient draught is available during normal conditions.
Monthly Bulletin. — During the year the publication of the Monthly Bul-
letin of the water surface elevations of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence river,
inaugurated in 1925, was continued, there being an increasingly great demand
therefor from engineers and scientific institutions all over Canada, and each
issue has been republished by marine and engineering magazines and daily
newspapers, due credit for the information obtained being given this Depart-
ment in each instance.
This bulletin, issued just previous to the 10th of each month, gives the
mean stage of water level for the preceding month as computed from hourly
readings, and a comparison with past stages of importance for the same month
in the preceding years as far back as records are available.
The demand for special data, computations, etc., in this connection is
increasing rapidly. During the past year 22,064 sheets of prepared information
were furnished to the public as compared with 122 sheets in 1918.
Attached are tables giving: —
L Monthly mean water surface elevations of the Great Lakes during
1927.
IL Monthlv mean water surface elevations of the St. Lawrence river
during 1927.
in. List of automatic gauges, and their locations, maintained in operation
during the past year.

TIDAL AKD CURRENT SURVEY
Report of C/.\fiain F. Axder.son, ]\LE.I.C., Chief H\'drogr.a.pher
In general term.s, Die work of the Tidal and Current Survey comprises the
maintenance of principal tidal stations in Eastern Canada and on the Pacific
const; further investigation of tides and currents during the summer months; the
reduction of observations to make the results of practical use; and the publica-
tion of tide tables, cunent tables and reports containing other tidal information.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 101
Eleven principal tidal stations were kept in cnntinr.oiis operation during
the past fiscal year — six on th(^ Atlantic coast and five on. the Pacific coast, as
follows: —
Atlantic Coast — Pacific Coast — .
Quebec, P.Q. Vancouver, B.C.
Father Point, Rimouski, P.Q. Caulfields, B.C.
Point Peter, Gaspe, P.Q. Prince Rupert, B.C.
Charlottetown, P.E.I. Victoria, V.I., B.C.
St. John, N.B. Clayoquot, V.I., B.C.
Halifax, N.S.
The records obtained fi'om these stations were carefully checked and pre-
pared for tabulation and comparison made with the secondary stations where
found necessary.
During the summer all were uispected, the zeros of the gauges checked with
permanent bench mark? and the necessary repairs carried nut.
SEASONAL TIDAL STATIONS
Atlantu: Coast
As a necessary preliminary to the hydrographic survey of the Saint John
river or any part of it as far as Fredericton, but also to obtain data previous to
the power development near the head waters now under way, a series of fide
gauges were operated during the summer of 1927, namely at Indiantown, Rothe-
say, Brown's Flats, Hampstead, Gagetown, Oromocto and Fredericton. By
building the gauge at Rothesay in such a way that it could be kept in continuous
operation throughout the winter, the department v;ill be able to accede to the
request urgently made by the " Shore Line Investigation Committee of the
United States Coast and Geodetic Survey and Columbia University " for a
year's tidal observations at this place.
A line of Geodetic levels had been run along the railroad near the river by
the Geodetic Su.rvey and in every case the zero on the tide scale was connected
with the local Geodetic bench mark. In this way all records can be reduced to
one datum plane and the slope of the river determined.
The tide gauge installecl at Welshpool, Passamaquoddy bay, in 1926, has
been kept in operation through co-operation with the Dexter P. Cooper Com-
pany. The records are received by this office and copies are made and for-
warded to Mr. Cooper in return for his services attending the gauge. An extended
period of observations is desu'ed [wn) because of the prospective tidal power
development.
Pacific Coast
Two gauges were operated on the west coast of Vancouver island, one in
lilsperanza inlet and the other in Nootka sound to obtain informaition for the
tide tables and to determine the datiun planes for the hydrographic survey to
be made.
At Squamish the gauge was aga.in set up for a further season of records for
the Geodetic Survey.
INVESTIGATION OF CURRENTS
Atlantic Coast
Sufficient observations foi prediction of tlie turii of the tidal streams in the
strait of Canso have been obtained, and tables are now published as a result.
No new current work was undertaken in 1927, but it is proposed to carry out a
similar investigation for the publication of current tables for the entrance to
the Bras d'Or lakes, Nova Scotia,, beginning this summer.
102 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Pacific Coast
The time of the turn of the tidal streams in Percival Narrows at the entrance
to Matheson channel was taken by an observer placed in camp, and the results
of the investigation will be indicated on the charts and included in the tide tables.
TIDE TABLES
The annual tide tables were calculated and printed as usual. The 1928 dis-
tribution, the bulk of which was sent out previously to the beginning of the year,
numbers 85,000 copies of the different editions combined. An innovation has
been made in the preparation of the 1929 edition which will include tide tables
for Boston and New York in the eastern publication, and those for Seattle and
Port Townsend with the Pacific tables. These additions, it is thought, will add
greatly to the usefulness of the tables to the larger shipping. The current tables
of the strait of Canso, N.S., and for Turn Point, B.C., calculated by the harmonic
method of prediction were also incorporated in the main edition for 1929, likewise
such other information as was deduced from the work of the past year.
Additional abridged editions for distinct localities to fill the needs where
the complete tables are unnecessary are also under preparation for the year
1929. These are entitled "Tide Tables for Charlottetown, P.E.I. , Pictou, NjS.,
and Strait of Canso Slack Water Tables", on the Eastern coast; on the Pacific
coast, "Tide Tables for Prince Rupert, B.C., with Tidal Differences for Northern
British Columbia." The abridged pocket editions besides being more con-
venient for local use, are an economy in that they lessen the distribution of the
larger complete tables. Below is the list of the tide table books as issued for
1928: —
Eastern Coast of Canada, unabridged 14, 000
St. John, N.B., and Bav of Fundy 5, 000
Quebec and Father Point 19, 000
Port Nelson. Hudson Bay (a limited number of mimeograph copies is prepared
each year).
Pacific Coast of Canada, unabridged 35, 000
Vancouver and Sand Heads 10, 000
85,000
[n formation on tidal matters has been furnished in answer to frequent
ret]uests from engineers in the Government Service and in private practice as
well as other interested.
STAFF
The staff of this Division of the Hydrographic Service comprises five,
exclusive of the outside tidal observers, who number six on the eastern and five
on the west coast. In addition to the above, temporary observers are employed
(luring the summer according to the requirements of the work undertaken.
Mr. H. W. Jones, B.Sc, M.E.I.C., Senior Tidal and Current Surveyor,
supervises the work on the eastern coast, inspecting the tidal stations and
arranging for necessary repairs, superintending current surveys and the erection
of secondary stations, also the preparation and issue of the tide tables and the
general office routine at headquarters.
Mr. S. C. Hayden, Senior Tidal and Cm-rent Surveyor, supervises the work
on the Pacific coast, with headquarters at Vancouver. He inspects the tidal
stations on that coast, arranges for the secondary stations, etc.
Mr. R. B. Lee, Junior Tidal and Current Surveyor, assists in the office work
at lic:ul(|uarters as well as looking after the installation of special gauges when
rc(]U!)cd
Mis> L. R. Brown, Clerk-Stenographer, attends to {\\c correspondence and
a.ssi.sts in the reduction of computations.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 103
Miss E. Campbell was added tempo'rarily to the staff late in the year to
assist in the tabulation of records and to do other work as directed.
During the winter months the tidal records are checked and reductions
made for analysis; seven sets of tide tables are calculated, including both
coasts, and the manuscript prepared for printing. The observations olbtained
during the summer months are dealt with and special data worked out.
At the close of the fiscal year I have to express my appreciation of the
efficient service rendered by the members of this staff.

REPORT OF A. R. TIBBITS, SUPERVISOR OF HARBOUR COMMIS-
SIONS, PUBLIC HARBOURS, AND HARBOUR MASTERS
The heading of my report embraces the two forms of harbour administra-
tion by which all the public harbours of Canada, except those on the canal
system, are controlled.
The larger harbours are all under the commission form of administration,
the commission for each harbour being created by a special Act of Parliament,
which provides for the appointment of Commissionei-s and defines their func-
tions and powers. The same form of administration, also, has been adopted for
some of the smaller, but active and ambitious harbours. With the exception
before noted, the balance of the public harbours, so far as navigation, the
movements of vessels, their mooring or anchoring and the manner of taking
on or discharging cargo or ballast is concerned, are supervised in each harbour
by an officer known as the harbour master, appointed by the Governor in
Council under the provisions of the Canada Shipping Act (Part XII), whose
activities are under the direction of the department at headquarters here, and
whose duty it is to enforce the regulations provided for the government and
control of all public harbours. The department's work in connection with these
two forms of harbour administration is executed in my branch.
Harbour Commissions
During the year with which this report will deal, the work of the branch
has been considerably increased by the creation of new harbour commissions,
entailing a large amount of additional work in the supervision of the organiza-
tion of the commissions for secretarial and accounting work, as all the powers
of the commissions must be exercised by means of bylaws, which must be
confirmed by the Governor in Council after approval in the department: and
all their receipts and expenditures, both on capital and revenue accounts, must
be reported monthly to the department on standard forms of the department's
design, where they are checked and filed for reference. The work of instructing
106 MARINE AND FISHERIES
the new staffs in properly recording and preparing the information for these
reports, and the examination and criticism of bylaws submitted for confirma-
tion to assure that they finally reach a form that conforms to the fixed policy
of the Government and to the powers conferred on the commissions by the
terms of their respective Acts of incorporation, entails a large amount of cor-
respondence, and considerable travel, for inspection purposes, to the offices of
the different harbour commissions, which now number six of major importance,
viz. — Halifax, Saint John, Quebec, Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver; while
active and increasingly important commissions are in existence at the ports of
Chicoutimi and Three Rivers, Quebec, Hamilton, Ontario; and New West-
minster and North Fraser in British Columbia. Other commissions whose influ-
ence does not extend much outside their local communities exist at Belleville
and Trenton, Ontario, and Winnipeg (Red River), Manitoba.
Summarized details of the reports submitted by the larger of these har-
bour commissions — which reports it should be noted cover the calendar year
1927 and not the Government fiscal year of 1927-28, as the other details of this
report do — will as usual be found under their own headings in another section
of this publication.
There have been no changes in the personnel of the established commis-
sions since my last report was made; but the personnel was appointed for the
harbour commission created in 1926 to administer the harbour of Chicoutimi,
P.Q., which my last report referred to but at which time there had been no
appointments made. This commission is now established, as follows: —
Chicoutimi, P.Q., Harbour Commissioners. — President, Vincent Dubuc.
Commissioners, Adjutor Bouliane, Adelard Tremblay. (Appointed by Order
in Council of the 24th June, 1927.)
In addition, effect was given to the Saint John Harbour Commissioners'
Act, chapter 57 of the statutes of 1927; and to the Halifax Harbour Commis-
sioners' Act, chapter 58 of the statutes of 1927; by the appointment of the
personnel to constitute the commissions provided for by these Acts, as follows: —
Saint John Harbour Commission. — President: Hon. Walter E. Foster.
Commissioners: William E. Scully, Lt.-Col. Alexander McMillan. (Appointed
by Order in Council of June 30, 1927.)
Halifax Harbour Commission. — President: Peter R. Jack. Commissioners:
John Murphy, Charles W. Ackhurst. (Appointed by Order in Council of January
11, 1928.)
GENERAL
In analyzing the returns received from the larger harbour commissions,
which indicate the volume of business being done by these harbours, there is
noted a general tendency to an increase over the previous year, as shown by
the larger number of vessels, with an increased total tonnage, which entered
the harbours during the year, and by the consequent increase in the revenue
receipts of the harbour. There was a small decrease in the revenue of the Van-
couver Harbour Commissioners, due probably to the commissioners having
discontinued the operation of their grain elevators themselves, • and leasing
them to certain of the large grain interests, at an annual rental. Although the
revenue from this source was not as large as when the commissioners operated
the elevators themselves, there is a consequent reduction in the operation costs
of the harbour; so that, although the revenue was not equal in volume to that
of the previous year, the net result was more than satisfactory, as the saving
in operation expenses was some $14,000 more than the reduction in revenue.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER
107
The net result of the operations for the year, as shown by the balance
sheets of each of the three commissions, at December 31, 1927, is as follows: —
Total revenue receipts
Administration and operation costs, including interest paid on
funded indebtedness
Surplus
Montreal
5,453,951
5,335,452
$ 118,499
Quebec
702,310
631,539
70,771
Vancouver
$ 2,003,889
1,718,606
$ 285,283
There was an increased activity in the building program of harbour develop-
ments, in each of the harbours receiving aid from the Government in the way
of loans for the purpose; and a consequent increase in the amount of their
debenture indebtedness to the Government and of the interest charges on same,
which was satisfactorily met from the revenues of all the commissions with the
exception of that of Quebec, where the harbour revenues were not sufficient to
meet the payments due on the indebtedness of this commission to the Govern-
ment.
The Chicoutimi Harbour Commission during this year adopted a scheme
of development to provide increased facilities to accommodate the growing
business of their harbour, and Parliament provided assistance for carrying on
the work, by authorizing loans to the commissioners from the public treasury,
not to exceed $500,000, in a statute assented to April 14, 1927 (17 George V,
chapter 46).
Legislation was passed also, reducing the limits of Chicoutimi harbour,
by eliminating the area of Ha Ha bay, which included the harbour adjacent
to Port Alfred (17 George V, chapter 47).
Also the limits of the harbour of Three Rivers were amended to eliminate
that part of the harbour adjacent to cap Magdalene, from the jurisdiction of
the Three Rivers Harbour Commissioners by statute (17 George V, chapter 70).
The port of Three Rivers, under the Three Rivers Harbour Commissioners,
is making steady and satisfactory progress and the commissioners are undertaking
an addition to the existing coal wharf which will largely increase the capacity
of the port, for coal handling. They propose to finance this project independ-
ently by obtaining authority from the Governor in Council to issue their own
debentures to be sold to the public.
The port of New "Westminster in British Columbia, under the New West-
minster Harbour Commissioners, also obtained authority from the Governor
in Council to issue debentures to the public for the sum of $700,000, the issue
being guaranteed both as to principal and interest by the Government, and the
proceeds are to be used for the construction of a grain elevator in the harbour
with an initial capacity of 750,000 bushels; and the elevator was expected to
be able to take grain during the crop year 1927-28.
The North Fraser Harbour Commission, having jurisdiction over the North
branch of the Fraser river from its mouth to the westerly boundary of New
Westminster harbour, have shown increased activity, particularly in regulating
the movements of steamers with tows of logs in the harbour, and have provided
facilities for the mooring of rafts and booms of logs when adverse tidal con-
ditions make this necessary. They have also enacted a new tariff of rates on
cargo handled within the harbour.
Tlie activities of the Chicoutimi Harbour Commission with regard to har-
bour development have been mentioned earlier in this report. The unusual
industrial development in the territory adjacent to this port has made an
108
MARINE AND FISHERIES
increased demand for shipping accommodations, and the new facilities to be
provided by the commissioners, from present indications, will be used to
capacity, and the energy and foresight of the Chicoutimi Harbour Commission
in thus providing for anticipated business is to be commended.
The grain shipments for the year from Montreal, Quebec, and Vancouver,
the three larger ports, also show the tendency to increased business, thatat
Montreal being particularly noticeable, where an increase of over sixty million
bushels over the previous year's grain shipments was made, the larger part of
the increase being due to greater shipments of American grain coming by the
lake route through Montreal. This large increase in the volume of grain handled,
of course led to a consequent increase in operation costs, but the total increase
in the commissioners' revenue exceeded this by some two and a quarter times.
Following in tabular form will be found the usual comparative statistics
showing the results of the various activities of the larger harbour commissions,
with the exception of that administering Toronto harbour, in regard to revenue
and capital receipts and expenditures, operation costs, interest on capital
loaned by the Government and on similar loans made from the public, together
with tables showing the number and tonnage of ocean vessels, tramps and
liners, that made use of the different larger ports, and cargo returns with regard
to grain shipments. It is to be noted again that these statistics cover the
calendar year for the years given, the fiscal year of each of the harbour com-
missions closing December 31, as before stated.
The net financial results of the operations for the year, as shown by the
balance sheets of the three older harbour commis^s'ions at December 31, 1927.
are as follows: —

Public Harbours and Harbour Masters
In this branch of harbour administration, there have been the usual changes
during the year. Vacancies in the position have occurred through the resigna-
tion of the harbour master, and in a very few cases the incumbent has been
removed by death. In addition to the 173 harbours previously proclaimed
public harbours, one new harbour has been proclaimed — that of Squamish, B.C.,
where Mr. John Wilkinson was appointed harbour master.
The vacancies referred to were filled as follows: —
BRITISH COLUMBIA
Chemainus. — James Goldsmith appointed harbour master.
Port Alberni. — F. H. Vradenburgh appointed harbour master.

112 MARINE AND FISHERIES
• CHIEF engineer's REFORT
Princess Louise Docks
Dredging. — Carrying out the policy of the commissioners to maintain a
minimum ch'aught of 35 feet at low water in the turning basin of the estuary of
the St. Charles river, the commissioners' dredge No. 2 was placed in operation
on May 19 and worked until September 3.
The quantity of material moved was 238,710 cubic yards or a daily average
of 2,682 cubic yards.
For dredging the Customs House pond and Atkinsons wharf, a small 10-
inch suction dredge was employed with very satisfactory results.
Shed No. 18. — On March 25 a fire destroyed shed No. 18 which was a
wooden shed. The cause of the fire has not been discovered and the shed has
not so far been reconstructed. Our independent fire system proved its value on
that- occasion, in the protection of surrounding wooden sheds.
Shed No. 29. — The work started in the fall of 1925 at the west section of
this shed, consisting of replacing the pedestals, supporting the front row of
columns, with a continuous reinforced concrete slab for a distance of 200 feet
proved so satisfactory that two more sections of 200 feet were commenced in
January, 1927, and completed in April.
Our experience so far has proven that these slabs improve the stability of
the shed and overhead grain conveyors. A similar concrete slab will be con-
structed this winter in the remaining two sections of the shed^
Improved Railway Facilities. — The work done during the year consisted
in changing the rail from 60- to 80-pound rails on the water side of sheds 25
and 26, pier No. 1, facing the river St. Lawrence; and also at the west end of
our property from the Canadian National Railway diamond along the main
line to connect with previously laid 80-pound rail.
Cold Storage. — Certain improvements were made at the cold storage plant
to facilitate the handling of goods, the principal items being an overhead meat
track in rooms Nos. 12 and 8a, and the addition of one beam scale and two
automatic dial scales in the fish house.
General Improvements. — ^Works of minor importance carried out during the
past year were as follows: —
The construction and placing in commission of three 40-foot freight gang-
ways and one passenger gangway.
The addition of a public toilet room in the concourse of shed No. 28.
Raising and renewing foundation sills on the south side of shed No. 20.
A general painting of sheds Nos. 5, 6, 19, 20, 25, 26 and 27.
Renewing foundation sills for gantry rails.
The commissioners floating equipment was overhauled and the plant gen-
erally has been maintained in good working order.
The Cross-wall bridge was operated for the first time during the past season
on April 2 and for the last time on December 11.
The water was retained in the Wet dock for the first time during 1927 on
April 20 and for the last time on December 6.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 113
Wolfe's Cove Terminals
Dredging. — The suction dredge General Wolfe started operation on May
24 and worked until August 21 preparing the ground for the cribs. The number
of cubic yards of material dredged during that period amounted to 410,953
cubic yards which was deposited in the fill between the Canadian National
Railways line and Champlain street and back of our rip-rap embankment.
Cribs. — The cribs have been built and sunk into position for a distance of
2,666 feet. The timber built into the cribs this year amounted to 11,362,252
feet b.m. of British Columbia fir. We still have on hand a quantity of 2,013,137
feet b.m. for work early next spring.
A quantity of 134,000 cubic yards of stone from Victoria cove and Chateau
Richer quarries was put into the cribs during the season leaving a balance of
about 36,000 cubic yards required to complete the filling of the cribs.
Steel anchor rods, 3 inches diameter, have been placed in main cribs Nos.
5, 6, 10, 14 and 18 which will be extended next spring to an anchorage back of
the railway embankment.
Rip-Rap Embankment. — Last winter the rip-rap embankment for the
approach to the quav wall was extended for a length of 300 feet from station
62-00 to station 65-00.
In order to provide dumping room for the dredge next summer we are
building this winter a temporary cut-off with stone taken from Ottawa cove.
This cut-off will extend from the railway embankment to anchor crib No. 12 at
right angle to the line of the quay wall.
Generally speaking better progress was made this year as compared with
previous years; however, it does not seem possible for the contractors to com-
plete their work for the time stipulated in their contract.

Construction of this important addition to the grain handling facilities of tbe
port was begun in the early summer of 1927, and was carried on throughout
the year. It is expected that this new storage annex will be ready to receive
grain during 1928, and will materially add to the worldng capacity of the
port. The completion of this new house will increase the capacity of Elevator
No. 3 to 5,000,000 bushels, and of the entire port to 15,162,000 bushels.

120 MARINE AND FISHERIES
COLD STORAGE WAREHOUSE
In 1927 important increases were recorded in many commodities, the most
notewortliy being in the storage of nuts, of which more than 3,00-0,000 pounds
was stored. Again, in the warm summer months, the warehouse stored large
quantities of valuable furs. Decreases were experienced in the storage of
cheese and butter, due to the shrinkage in the export of these commodities from
Canada, a result of a dull European market.
At the end of the year the commissioners made an important concession in
switching charges to customers of their warehous'e. All switching charges on rail
traffic from points outside the harbour to the commissioner's cold storage ware-
house, and from the warehouse to points outside the harbour commissioners'
territory, have been cancelled: —
The following are the ciuantities of the more important products stored
during the year: —

HARBOUR RAILWAY TERMINALS
The figures for car handlings at the sheds during the season of navigation
evidence the increase in import, and the decrease in export rail traffic, the
number of cars loaded having been 14,348 as compared with 12,317 in 1926;
and the number of cars unloaded having been 24,141 as against 29,073 in the
previous year.
With the completion of the extension to the locomotive shop, suitable accom-
modation was furnished for the housing of the nine electric locomotives. These
locomotives were operated during the year with very S'atisfactory results, and,
as in the case of the steam locomotives, the number in daily operation varied
with the volume of traffic. The running record of the electric locomotives
during 1927 shows that they were in operation during 10,788 hours, and covered
during that time 33,249 miles in switching service.
An important, though temporary, rearrangement of tracks at sections 26-28,
necessitated by the construction work of the Montreal south shore bridge, was
carried out prior to the opening of navigation. In addition, new tracks were
built to wharves at sections 31-32, and alongside new wharf at sections 38-39.
The total mileage of harbour railway tracks in 1927 was 67-44 miles or
356,092 lineal feet, the corresponding figure for 1926 was 65 19 miles, or 344,238
lineal feet.
The total number of cars handled by the commissioners during 1927 was
195,853; in 1926 the number was 205,481.
HARROUR POLICE DEPARTMENT
During the season of navigation the harbour police force, consisting of
chief, three captains, and sixty-five constables, maintained order within the
harbour, protected life and property, and regulated the traffic on the wiiarves.
For the winter season the force consisted of four officers and twenty-six
constables.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 121
An automobile and two motor-cycles are attached to this department, and
were in constant use during the year, 43,026 miles having been covered by these
vehicles during 1927. A continuous patrol is maintained by means of this
equipment from Windmill point to the Imperial Oil plant at Montreal east.
The police department rendered first aid in 30 cases of accidents on the
waterfront.
During the year 76 arrests were made for various offences within the har-
bour, and, in addition, seven arrests were made for contravention of customs
laws.
Eight thousand and eighty-one carters, loading at various places along the
harbour, were checked by the traffic constables.
Five thousand two hundred and forty-eight taxicabs were checked and
their numbers taken.
FINANCIAL
The income on revenue account for 1927 was $5,453,951.56, as against
$4,632,599.92 for 1926, an increase of $821,351.64.
The cost of operation, maintenance, interest, sinking funds, etc., in 1927
was $5,335,452.69, as against $4,892,953.88 for 1926; an increase of $442,498.81;
leaving a surplus on revenue account for the year 1927 of $118,498.87.
NEW^ H.\RBOUR BY-L.\WS
A harbour work of considerable importance which had been under way for
some time was brought to fruition in 1927 with the issuance of a completely
rewritten and revised set of harbour by-laws and tariffs, bearing the approval,
as required by law, of the Governor in Council. By-laws of antiquated form,
some of which dated from the era of sailing ships, were rewritten, and in their
new form the by-law^s which govern procedure and conduct within the precincts
of the harbour of Montreal are easy to understand, and are thoroughly codified,
notated, and indexed. The harbour tariffs which are also by-laws, and bear a
number in the complete code, are included in the compact volume which is
available for issuance to the public, but in addition, each tariff by-law, in
pamphlet form, has been printed separately.
Increases have been made in the rates for switching cars on the harbour
tracks. Before this step was taken, the commissioners gave serious study to
every phase of this situation, and had conferences with the representatives of
the Canadian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific Railway. The old
switching rates, which were exceptionally moderate, and were everywhere
recognized as the lowest in North America, were based on a " per car " basis,
and were first established at a time when railway cars were very much smaller
than the type of equipment in use to-day, when wages and operating costs
were much lower than at the present time, and when the equipment of the har-
bour railway did not include standard 100 pound section, ballasted tracks, and
an electrified system operated by electric locomotives, the provision of which
has resulted in more efficient service to the railway companies, and a saving in
wear and tear on rolling stock.
ST.\FF CHANGES
Important changes were made by the commissioners during 1927 in the
executive structure, and the allocation of duties of the staff. For some years the
executive duties were divided between the general manager and the secretary,
but upon the retirement from active duty of the secretary, througli failing
health, the duties of general manager and secretary were combined. An
assistant general manager and an assistant secretary were appointed, and the
position of purchasing agent, made vacant through the promotion of the latter
officer, was filled from the ranks of the staff. The commissioners feel that the
present arrangement is an entirely satisfactory one.
122 MARIXE AND FISHERIES
SHIPPING, PORT OF MONTREAL, 1927
The season under review was very satisfactory. More ocean sliips with a
larger aggregate net registered tonnage than in any previous year, used the
port.
Navigation opened earlier in the season than usual and closed later, very
considerably later.
Practically all of the larger steamship companies trading to ^Montreal
either launched new tonnage for the St. Lawrence service, or made arrange-
ments for the construction of new vessels. As the years elapse, the gross tonnage
of passenger vessels which sail from Montreal is growing, and in 1927 vessels
of 19,000 gross tons came regularly to Montreal.
An important shipping transaction which took place during the season was
the purchase of the White Star Line by the Royal Mail Steamships, Ltd., thus
bringing this old established shipping company back under British control.

The personnel of the 1927 commission is the same as that of 1926, viz.:
President and Chairman, Robert F. Grant; Commissioners, Joseph L. Fortin
and Norman Labelle; Harbour Master, U. P. Bureau; and Secretary-Treasurer,
Joseph J. Ryan.
PORT OF THREE RIVERS
Situated near lake St. Peter on north shore of St. Lawrence river at the
junction of the St. Maurice and St. Lawrence rivers. Head of natural deep-
water navigation of St. Lawrence river, and commands St. Maurice river terri-
tory, which has a superficial area of 17,000 square miles.
Population at last census in 1921, 35,000.
Principal industries, lumber, pulp, paper, cotton, machinery, footwear,
gloves, caskets, biscuits, wearing apparel, etc.
Commercial centre of large agricultural district of 1,470,000 acres.
DEVELOPMENT OF PORT
The pulp and paper trade has undergone a remarkable expansion in recent
years. Several large new mills have been constructed, and the ones already
existing extended.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 123
The district now manufactures 2,100 tons of newsprint and kraft paper a
day, and is one of the great centres of the world's pulp and paper trade.
The electro-chemical industry at Shawinigan Falls of the Shawinigan
Water and Power Company has been largely extended, and the Wabasso Cotton
Company has developed into the largest cotton mill operating under one roof
in the Dominion, while the Canadian Iron Foundries, Casket and Boot factories
have appreciably increased their trade.
As a result the tonnage handled by the port has year by year shown a,
steady and rapid increase, in order to cope with increased outputs of raw
materials, and finished products.
In view of these developments steps have been taken to enlarge the present
harbour facilities, and plans have been drawn up and submitted to the authori-
ties, providing for the additional accommodation of deep draught vessels in the
harbour, and it is important that these extensions and improvements to the
port should be completed as soon as possible, in order not to retard the expan-
sion of the port and the district.

BUSINESS OF PORT IN 1927
Exports of lumber in 1927 totalled 212,000,000 feet b.m. valued at $4,306,000,
a slight increase of about 1.000,000 feet over last year's total.
This is approximately 29 per cent of the total quantity of lumber (exclusive
of logs and bolts) exported by water from all British Columbia ports.
Exports of bar metal and ore concentrates amounted to 18,581 tons, value
$2,125,000; as against 41,327 tons, value $5,132,000 exported in 1926.
The total value of deep sea exports in 1927 was $6,447,000. In 1926 it was
$9,200,000.
Imports, 10,444 tons, approximate value $300,000, show a slight falling off
from 1926 when the imports totalled 12,221 tons, approximate value $400,000.
SHIP CHANNEIL
Reference was made in last year's report to certain improvement works,
of a permanent nature, that the Government had arranged to carry out on
the river in 1927. These works were all duly completed in a satisfactory manner
and have resulted in an improved channel at the stretches where they were
carried out.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 125
In continuance of the Government's policy of steadily and consistently
improving the channel of the river, provision has been made for further
improvement works to be carried out during the current year, as follows: —
(1) Sapperton Bar — Construction of Dyke No. 1. The proposed work con-
sists of constructing a " V "-shaped dyke, each leg 600 feet long, of which 500
feet is close piling and 100 feet at the outer end open piling, spaced 3' 6"
centres, in two rows, zig-zagged.
(2) Steveston — Repairs and Extension of Woodward's Training Wall.
Repairs will consist of raising the rock mound to its original level by dumping
rock on same till the required elevation is reached.
(3) Steveston — Extension of North Jetty. It is proposed to extend this
jettv approximatelv 5,000 feet, making the total length of this jetty about
26,000 feet.
Depth of Water. — As has been stated before, the natural depth of the
Eraser river is approximately 30 feet at low water, but at certain stretches,
not exceeding two or three miles altogether, there are shoaler places, and it is
to these stretches that the Government is directing its attention at the present
time, as above indicated, with the object of establishing a uniform depth through-
out. At the pres'ent time the controlling depth from the entrance to the river
to New Westminster, at the ordinary high tide (12-foot tide at Sandheads),
remains at 28 feet, or at low water, 18 feet.
PORT DEVELOPMENT
Towards the end of the year under review and after lengthy negotiations,
arrangements were finally completed in connection with financing of the
commissioners' grain elevator, the Dominion Government having agreed to
guarantee the authorized bond issue of $700,000, both as to interest and prin-
cipal. By this arrangement a considerable annual saving will be effected inas-
much as the rate of interes't which the bonds will bear has been consequently
reduced.
At time of writing, construction of the elevator is well under way, and as
the project will mark a very important forward step in the port's development,
being looked upon as only the beginning of similar undertakings by private
interests on the Eraser river, the following description of the plant will be of
general interest: —
(1) Site. — The site of the elevator is on the south bank of the Eraser river,
two miles below the New Westminster bridge. The waterfrontage occupied is
approximately 1,800 feet in length and the reclaimed area of 12 acres, plus an
additional 60 acres on shore, gives this property great possibilities for future
use and development. It is directly accessible by Canadian National and Great
Northern Railways and within the switching zone of the Canadian Pacific
Railway.
A timber bulkhead wall retains filling material for the foreshore reclama-
tion. This material is made available from the dredging operations being car-
ried on by the Dominion Government in the river immediately in front of the
wharf wall, where a depth of 30 feet of water at low tide is being provided.
A wharf approximately 1,100 feet in length is being constructed parallel
to the river bank, and dredging operations are being carried out by the
Dominion Government, which will provide excellent approach for shipping and
a 30-foot depth of berth at low tide. This will permit the berthing of two
ships at one time. A local water service from springs in the hill is now being
established by the commissioners to serve the S'hips occupying these berths
and also for domestic supply to the elevator.
126 MARINE AND FISHERIES
(2) Buildings and Equipment. — (o) Workhouse. — The workhouse, although
originally designed for timber construction, is now being constructed in concrete.
It has a bin capacity of approximately 110,€(K) bushels. The track shed con-
tains four unloading pits and these are connected to one shipping leg and one
shipping receiving leg. Unloading bins are provided both in the workhouse
and in the storage, five dock spouts being provided in all. An additional ship-
ping leg forms part of the equipment.
Other equipment consists of three scale garners, three cleaning garners, six
screening and one double carter-disk separator, four No. 11 receiving separators,
one automatic scale in sacking room. The house has a receiving capacity of
100 cars per day of two shifts of 8 hours each and a shipping capacity of
30,000 bushels per hour.
(6) Storage. — The storage is approximately 50' x 220', built of reinforced
concrete fireproof construction throughout. It will contain 16 circular bins 24'
diameter each, 14 inter-space bins and 15 outer-space bins. The circular and
inter-space bins are full hoppered and provided with a separate draw-off valve
in each case. The bin capacity is approximately 700,000 bushels.
(c) Sacked Grain Warehouse. — A sacked grain warehouse of timber con-
struction, metal clad, having a dimension of 60' x 65', is being constructed west
of the workhouse. This is designed to carry a live load at 300 pounds per
square foot. The warehouse will have a roof of four-ply tar and gravel.
{d) Dryer and Boiler House. — Dryer house will contain a 500- bushel dryer
of standard type. This building is located between the workhouse and storage
and is of reinforced concrete fireproof construction.
The boiler house, immediately adjoining, is similarly of fireproof concrete
construction.
A major project that will be of great importance to the port, serving the
interior of British Columbia and the provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan,
are the shipping terminals, including old storage facilities of Pacific Coast Ter-
minals, Limited, for the establishment of which all financial arrangements have
been completed, construction to be commenced at an early date. The amount
of capital involved in this project will be approximately $2,250,000, and it will
provide the port with modern and adequate facilities for handling all classes
of export and import cargo.
The site to be occupied, comprising about 18 acres, is located in the west
end of the city of New W^estminster, and is most advantageously situated,
both from the standpoint of water and rail shipments. Adequate Terminal
Railway yards will be provided, connecting up with three transcontinental
railways— Canadian National, Canadian Pacific and Great iSTorthem — as well
as with the British Columbia Electric Railway.
The first unit of this large undertaking provides for: —
(1) Cold storage building of concrete and steel construction, with walls
and roof insulated with cork, of 140 feet by 300 feet dimensions, four stories
in height. Three different degrees of storage will be provided — cold, cool and
dry, thus providing for all classes of commodities.
(2) A wharf approximately 1,020 feet in length, paralleling the river
bank, with depth of water 35 feet at low tide, which, with present structures
to be acquired, will provide a total berthing space of over 3.000 feet.
(3) Modern mechanical handling facilities for bulk and general cargo.

tonnage
The number of deep-sea vessels entering the port was 1,123, as compared
with 1,071 in the previous year, showing an increase of 52 vessels, with an
increase iq gross tonnage of 188,779 tons.
Of the deep-sea vessels entering, 445 were of British register, 327 United
States, 155 Japanese, and the balance distributed among other countries such
as France, Nonvay, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Germany, etc., all in practically
the same proportions as last year — a feature which emphasizes the regular
character of the business enjoyed by the port of Vancouver.
The total number of vessels of all classes entering the port was 20,363,
being 596 more than in 1926, representing an increase in tonnage of 610,689
tons.
IMPORTS AND EXPORTS
Deep-sea imports were a little in excess of last year's figure, while deep-
sea exports were slightly less.
LUMBER
The foreign export of lumber and logs in 1927 was 496.208.258 f.b.m.
This is somewhat below the previous year's total; but it must be remembered
that the 1926 foreign export was 82,000,000 feet in advance of the previous
high record — namely. 432,652,770 feet in 1924— so that the 1927 figure very
creditably occupies the second highest place in the history of this trade.
Well over three-fourths of the total foreign lumber export went to Japan
and the United States of America, the next highest purchasers being the United
Kingdom, with nineteen million feet; Australia, with about the same amount;
New Zcahind. twelve million feet; South Africa, ten million feet; China, eight
and a half million feet.
FISH
Next in order among the natural sources of British Columbia's wealth
is the fishing industry, and it is gratifying to report that the export of canned
fish during 1927 shows an increase of 354,547 cases over 1926, while the export
of salt and dried fish is practically the same as last year.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 129
Canned fish went in greatest quantities to the following countries, in the
order mentioned: United Kingdom, Germany, France, Australia, Italy, the
number of cases consigned to these countries ranging from one hundred and
eighty-five thousand to two hundred and eighty-four thousand cases. The total
export amounted to 1,657,838 cases. The great bulk of the salt and dried fish
went, as usual, to China and Japan, about 32,000 tons to the former and 16,500
tons to the latter.
GRA.IN SHIPMENTS AND ELEVATORS, PAST AND PRESENT
The year 1921 saw the birth of Vancouver as a grain shipping port when
one and a half million bushels passed through the port for Japan and United
Kingdom ports.
The first elevator was built at the port at Salisbury drive, adjoining the
present Lapointe pier and had a capacity of 1,250,000 bushels.
During 1922 the total export of grain reached fourteen and a half million
bushels, the orient taking three and a half million bushels, and the United
Kingdom the balance; the capacitv of the existing elevator was accordingly
increased from 1,250,000 bushels to 2,050,000 bushels. In 1923 the amount of
grain exported reached 25,000,000 bushels, and in order to cope with the
increased flow of grain. No. 2 elevator, capacity 1,650,000 bushels, with con-
veyor system, receiving and shipping houses, etc., was built by the commis-
sioners at the south end of Ballantyne pier.
A smaller elevator, originally intended to be operated by a private com-
pany, was taken over by the commissioners and completed with a storage
capacity of 650,000 bushels as No. 3 elevator.
The Vancouver Terminal Grain Co., Ltd., constructed an elevator, capacity
2,250,000 bushels, on a site leased from the commission adjoining No. 1 elevator;
and the Columbia Elevator Co. a small one, with 100,000 bushels capacity.
The elevator capacity of the port in the course of about 18 months had
been increased from 1,250,000 bushels to 6,700,000 bushels.
During 1925 extensive additions and improvements were earried out, the
capacity of No. 3 elevator being increased to 1,650,000 bushels.
The Alberta Pool Elevator Co. have chosen a site just west of the Second
Narrows bridge on the south shore of the harbour, and an elevator with storage
capacity of 2,500,000 bushels and all modem facilities is in course of erec-
tion and will be ready for the 1928 crop.
The Messrs. Randall, Gee & Mitchell Ltd., have decided to lease a site
on the area on the north shore recently reclaimed by the Commissioners, where
an elevator with all modem appliances with an initial storage capacity of 500,-
000 bushels (capable of being extended to 1,500,000 bushels) will be built.
It will thus be seen that for the handling of the 1928 grain crop, the port
of Vancouver will have an elevator storage capacity of approximately 10,700,-
000 bushels.
The amount of grain shipped through the port during the calendar year
1927 was 43,552,210 bushels— somewhat less than was anticipated.
MINOR EXPORTS
"Flour" shipments showed a material improvement over the previous year,
the total for 1927 amounting to 126,053 tons, which indicates an increase of
23,000 tons.
The bulk of this commodity went to China and Japan; and it is interesting
to note that while the former got about the same quantity as last year, Japan
—where milling is understood to be developing— increased her import by about
30,000 tons. ^
65702—9
130 MARINE AND FISHERIES
"Lead" was exported to the amount of 101,583 tons, this being 25,000 tons
more than in the previous year. Of this product, 41,354 tons went to the
United Kingdom and 33,000 tons to Japan.
"Zinc" shipments amounted to 51,548 tons, representing an increase of
14,000 tons. Twelve thousand tons went to the United Kingdom, 11,000 tons
to Germany, and 9,000 tons to Japan.
NORTH SHORE DEVELOPMENT
The grading of the Terminal Railway, North Shore section, was completed
in December, 1927, up to St. George's avenue. This involved a cut along the
face of a high bluff through district lot 274 and Moodyville. and the material
thus obtained was deposited on the tideflats and enclosed within a timber bulk-
head, making a level reclamation of approximately fifteen acres, suitable for
industrial and commercial development. By means of the terminal railway
this property is provided with access over the Second Narrows bridge to the
transcontinental railways in Vancouver, and is also served by a concrete paved
road which parallels the terminal railway on the north or land side. Light and
power will be supplied by the British Columbia Electric Railway Co., Ltd.,
and water by the city of North Vancouver. During the progress of this wprk
many inquiries were received regarding manufacturing and commercial sites
and, as a result of negotiations that followed, several concerns decided to take
leases — one for a grain elevator (referred to in another section of this report),
another for a lumber export and general shipping business involving the con-
struction of a 500-foot lumber assembly wharf and sheds, another for a manu-
facturing plant, and the indications are that the balance of the property will
be taken up at a very early date.
As mentioned above, the present terminus of the terminal railway is in
the vicinity of St. George's avenue, and it was the original intention of the
commissioners to extend this section westerly to connect with the Pacific Great
Eastern Railway by means of a level crossing over Lonsdale avenue, having
in mind the substitution of an overhead crossing in place of the level crossing
when the volume of traffic increased to necessitate this.
On further consideration, however, it was decided that it would be every
way more desirable and ultimately more economical to make the crossing at
Lonsdale avenue by means of a subway, and plans were accordingly prepared
for a reinforced concrete subway, beginning at the present terminus, running
along Esplanade street, under Lonsdale avenue and connecting with the Pacific
Great Eastern tracks on the west side of Lonsdale avenue — this being now under
construction.
When this link is completed, railway service will be provided for the entire
North shore from the entrance to the harbour to the Second Narrows bridge.
MARINE GASOLINE STATIONS
In the past such stations have been operated at a number of points on both
sides of the harbour and, on account of the constantly increasing demand for
gasoline supply, the commissioners decided to establish a gasoline area off
Deadman's island which will provide accommodation for a sufficient number of
new fioating stations to meet requirements for a considerable time to come.
The location chosen is convenient for the class of craft requiring this service
as it is close to the entrance to Coal harbour, which is much frequented by
small craft, both for pleasure and business, and is practically in the course of
fishing boats and small craft entering and leaving the harbour. Six stations
have been laid out and lessees will provide their own scows and equipment,
which will have to conform strictly to the Commissioners' regulations and to
the requirements of the fire authorities. Vessels will not be allowed to berth
or anchor at or near these stations, but will simply take their supplies and clear.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 131
A few service stations that were carrying on business prior to this new
arrangement will not be disturbed so long as their operation in their present
locations is satisfactory to the commissioners and the fire authorities, but no
other stations will be allowed within the harbour outside of the prescribed area,
which will be known as " Gasolene Area No. 1 ".
TRAFFIC DEPARTMENT
In consequence of the constantly increasing number of inquiries received
for information in regard to the port, the Commissioners decided that it would
be in the interests of business to institute a department whose business it will
be to give careful and complete replies to all such inquiries and to compile and
disseminate throughout the shipping and manufacturing centres information
regarding natural products, manufactures', facilities, transportation, rates, regu-
lations, etc., with a view to stimulating interest in the opportunities and advan-
tages offered by the port of Vancouver as the Pacific doorway to the Dominion
of Canada and a strategically situated shipping point on the highway to and
from the markets of the world.
Among the means to be employed in carrying out the purposes of this
department will be the preparation and world-wide circulation of periodic trade
reports giving commodities with origin, destination and other advantageous
particulars; booklets of general information, regularly revised, and circular
letters of current features of interest, together with sustained press advertising
and personal attention to interested visitors. The creation of this new depart-
ment, which, it is hoped, will bring good results, is simply a matter of reorganiza-
tion and will not involve any increase in expenditure in the way of employment.
BY-LAWS
The following new by-laws were passed by the commissioners and approved
by Order in Council during the year: —
1. By-law 121, approved February 26, 1927, being "Regulations governing
the handling of explosives in the harbour," superseding previous regulations in
this regard, and prepared for the purpose of insuring a maximum of safety in
handling this traffic.
2. By-law 127, approved August 31, 1927, being " Regulations governing
the conduct, management and operation of the Second Narrows bridge," Burrard
inlet, B.C., and " Regulations governing the conduct, management and opera-
tion of vessels passing thereunder."
By virtue of the terms of their act of incorporation, the commissioners are
charged with the responsibility of regulating and controlling navigation within
the harbour and by agreement with the Burrard Inlet Tunnel and Bridge
Company, they have sole control of railway traffic over the Second Narrows
bridge, and it was therefore deemed to be in order that the regulations embodied
in this by-law, both in respect to the operation of the bridge and navigation
of vessels passing thereunder, should be exercised by the commissioners.
GENERAL
_ A large number of ocean-going vessels were drydocked and the following
major repair jobs were carried out during the year within the harbour: —
SS. Kaikyu Maru, 8,134 tons, repaired at cost of $385,000.
SS. Prince Rupert, 3,379 tons, repaired at cost of $75,000,
SS. Catala, 1,159 tons, repaired at cost of $150,000.

harbour of chicoutimi
Is a tidal harbour with a variation between extreme high and extreme low
water of 18-25 feet, situated about 75 miles inland from the St. Lawrence river.
It is 2,594 miles distant from Liverpool; Quebec being 2,635 miles distant
from Liverpool, and Montreal 2,775 miles.
The ice conditions at Chicoutimi are at present practically similar to those
at Montreal. There is at Chicoutimi and in the dredged channel of the river a
depth of 16 feet at low water; the tidal range giving a depth of 34 feet at extreme
high water.
Arrangements are being made to increase the depth of the ship channel
up to Chicoutimi to 17 feet at low water, and 35 feet at high water. The har-
bour comprises the tidal waters of the Saguenay river above an imaginary line
drawn from West cape to East cape.
The upstream limit of jurisdiction is approximately about eight miles above
the present government wharf, giving a harbour front of about twenty miles
on both sides of the river.
Chicoutimi is the present terminal of the central region of the Canadian
National Railways; and also the terminal of sea-borne traffic, passenger and
freight, on the Saguenay river, as there is not at present sufficient depth of
water beyond the town for vessels of any size.
Near to it are magnificent water-powers, pulp and paper, mining and agri-
cultural industries, and with the growth of these the future of the port is
assured, providing proper facilities and equipment for handling cargoes are
supplied at an early date.
INDUSTRIES
The principal industries at present in the vicinity of Chicoutimi are: —
Kenogami Paper Mills, owned by Messrs. Price Bros. & Co., Limited,
capacity 500 tons newsprint per day.

POPULATION
The population of the town of Chicoutimi at present is 15,070 as com-
pared with 7,400 ten years ago, and there is altogether a population of 48,000
within a radius of 20 miles.
PRESENT FACILITIES
The present accommodation consists of a small wharf 500 feet in length
by about 200 feet in width, with a small shed where general merchandise is
discharged or loaded. A considerable quantity of coal is discharged at the
lower end of the wharf but tliere is only 14 feet depth of water at low tide along
side the wharf and the structure itself is not in very good condition, neverthe-
less, during the year 1925, 111,936 tons of miscellaneous goods and a large
quantity of dressed lumber were handled at the port.
HARBOUR master's REPORT
During the year, 685 vessels entered the port including 20 vessels with
a tonnage varying between 800 and 3,000 tons and carrying 44,205 tons of coal,
5,850 tons of sulphur and 150,000 bricks.
The Canada Steamship Lines' vessels docked eighty-seven times at the
main wharf for freight and tourist traffic. Freight carried by said vessels was
estimated at 6,300 tons.
Coasting vessels carried 7,077 tons of merchandise, 2,435 cords of wood and
4,473,285 feet of sawn lumber.
Traffic was handled under satisfactory conditions notwithstanding the fact
that in some instances, freight and docking operations were considerably delayed
due to lack of space.
engineer's REPORT
In the spring of 1927, important repairs were carried out on the Chicoutimi
wharf. In response to a request from Messrs. Price Bros, and Company, your
commission had piles placed along the outer side of the wharf to protect the
woodwork which, in certain places, had fallen away and left gaps through which
tlie inner filling was slipping away. This work entailed quite an expense but
on the other hand, we believe that no further repairs will be needed there for
some years.
During the month of June, 1927, a channel was dredged to permit vessels to
proceed to the wharf at St. Fulgcnce at low tide. The channel was dug by the
National Dock and Dredging Corporation and is now 1,300 feet in length by
60 feet in width.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 135
A new wooden pavement on part of the St. Anne wharf was laid in October.
Repairs and maintenance work on the pontoons of the wharves at Ste. Anne
and Chicoutimi basin were carried on during the months of November and
December, 1927.
To facilitate the preparing of plans for the construction of the wharves
proposed by your commission, soundings and borings were undertaken in the
harbour, in front of the town of Chicoutimi, in the summer of 1927. This work
was supervised by the engineer of the commission who followed the instruc-
tions of Mr. A. D. Swan, consulting engineer from Montreal.
It was also necessary, in view of the proposed works, to make a topo-
graphical survey of both the north and south shores of the Saguenay for a con-
siderable distance.
In order to enable your commission to call for tenders, detailed plans and
specifications were prepared by the commission's consulting engineer, Mr. A. D.
Swan. Tenders were asked for for September 28, 1927, and the contract was
awarded to Messrs. Quinlan Robertson & Janin Limited of Montreal. A survey
was made during November and December with a view to making certain
soundings in 1928 in order to determine the condition of the bed of the river
and a dredging program if needed.

GO\^ERNMENT COAST STATIONS
"Coast Station" is the term used to designate a radio station established
on shore to communicate with ships at sea. Canada's extensive coast line
demands a large number of stations to cover all its coasts and approaches
thereto. The complete system consists of fifty-three stations located as fol-
lows:—
East Coast (includes sLx radio beacons) 24
Great Lakes (includes one radio beacon) 9
Pacific Coast (includes one radio beacon) 15
Hudson Bay and Straits 5
53
The coast station system consists of two chains, one extending from Van-
couver to Frince Rupert on the Pacific, and the other from Port Arthur to the
140 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Atlantic ocean in the east, and, for the purposes of administration, is divided
into three divisions, Pacific Coast, Great Lakes, and East Coast. The stations
of the Great Lakes division communicate with those of the East Coast division,
but there is no direct radio connection between the Great Lakes and the
Pacific coast.
During the year five temporary stations in the Hudson bay and strait
were established and placed in commission. Two of these were operated on
behalf of the Department of Railways and Canals, and three in connection
with the Hudson strait expedition.
Of the above stations, nineteen on the East coast and Great Lakes are
operated by the Canadian Marconi Company, under contract with the depart-
ment, and the balance of thirty-four on the East and West coasts and Hudson
bay and strait are operated directly by the department.
The primarv^ aim of the coast station organization is to provide radio
facilities whereby any ship within 500 miles of the Canadian coast can establish
instant touch with the shore. Constant watch, 24 hours a day, 365 days a
vear, is maintained at practically all of the stations, which during the vear
handled a total of 7,695,757 words.
RADIOTELEGRAPH AIDS TO NAVIGATION BRO.\DCASTS
Twice daily, at advertised hours, eight stations on the East coast, seven
on the Great Lakes and one on the West coast broadcast information to
navigators covering weather forecasts, position and nature of dangers to navi-
gation, etc. In addition, urgent information, such as hurricane warnings, etc.,
is broadcast immediately upon receipt.
Details of the times of transmissions, call signals, wavelengths, etc., are
given in the current Notices to Mariners in this reference.
The East coast arm of this service has been extended this year with the
inclusion of the high-power long-range station at Louisburg, which broadcasts
a daily weather report at 0418 G.M.T. on 2.800 metres.
RADIOTELEPHONE AIDS TO NAVIGATION BROADCASTS
Numerous fishermen haxing intimated their intenjtion of fitting theiir
vessels with radio receiving sets, the department has decided to inaugurate a
radiotelephone service to fishermen on the East coast early in the coming fiscal
year.
Three stations will be used for this purpose — louisburg (VAS), Halifax
Lightship (VCX), and St. John, N.B. fCFBO). Louisburg, using a 4,000 watt
radiotelephone transmitter, will broadcast on 434-5 metres at 3 a.m. and 12
noon, E.S.T., daily, a message to fishermen which will include weather fore-
casts, storm warnings and a synopsis of information in regard to the market
prices of fish, the amount of bait on hand at various points, and any other
outstanding items of interest to fishermen generally.
The power used by this station will enable fishermen well out into the
Atlantic, to the eastward of the Grand Banks, to receive these messages.
The Halifax Lightship Station will broadcast on 322-4 metres at 7 a.m.
and 12.30 p.m., E.S.T., daily, a message to fishermen the same as that of Louis-
burg and will have a range of approximately 150 miles.
Station CFBO, St. John, will broadcast weather forecasts and storm warn-
ings to fishermen in the Bay of Fundy on 336-9 metres at 7 a.m. and 11 a.m.,
E.S.T., daily.
It is anticipated that these stations will provide reception at any point
along the Atlantic seaboard as well as covering the banks fished by Canadian
vessels.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 141
TIME SIGNALS
East Coast
Chebucto Head. — Daily, except Sunday, at 2 p.m., G.M.T., on 600 metres.
This service will be augmented in 1928, by the inclusion of the long-
distance Radiotelegraph Station at Louisburg, which will transmit time signals
on a long wavelength.
West Coast
Gonzales Hill. — Twice daily at 10 a.m., and 7 p.m., P.S.T., on 900 metres.
Estevan. — Twice daily at 10 a.m., and 7 p.m., P.S.T., on 600 metres.
SPRING PATROL, CABOT STRAITS, GULF OF ST. LAWRENCE
The patrol service maintained in the Cabot straits at the opening of navi-
gation was undertaken this year by the ice-breakers Mikiila and Montcalm
and commenced on April 12.
Profiting by exp.erience in previous years, some minor changes were made
in the radio organization, more particularly in the way of eliminating redundant
transmissions.
The patrol ships cruise in the vicinity of Cabot straits observing the ice
conditions and the senior ship, everj^ few hours, obtains from all incoming and
outgoing ships, and from all radio and signal stations, a detailed report on the
ice conditions in the different areas. These, in conjunction with her own
observations, are compiled and analyzed, and based thereon, a broadcast mes-
sage, containing a synopsis of location and drift of the ice, together with recom-
mendations as to the best route for ships to follow, is broadcast four times
daily from the patrol ship, using the general call sign VCQ. A summary of
this message is also included by Cape Race (VCE) in his daily routine broad-
casts. For details of transmissions, see Notice to Mariners No. 19 of 1928.
During the ice season, the long-distance station at Louisburg also broad-
casts daily a notification to all ships on 2,800 meters inmaediately following
the press message at 04- 18 G.M.T. advising that the ice patrol is on her station
thus giving advance information in this respect.
In addition to the above, every vessel spoken is advised of the location
and nature of the ice she may expect to encounter on her particular course,
and the best route to follow.
The total number of words handled by the patrol this year was: —
Mikula 17,855
Montcalm 18,481
36,336
The patrol was discontinued on May 21, 1928.
RADIO DIRECTION FINDING
Eight Direction Finding Stations, seven on the East coast and one on the
West coast, were operated throughout the year. These stations maintain " con-
stant watch " and give bearings to any ships, fitted with radio, free of charge.
The Canadian Direction Finding Stations continue to enjoy a good repu-
tation for efficiency and accuracy, many comments on the same having been
received from navigators.
The number of bearings given by the station varies from* month to month,
being dependent on weather conditions. The average number continues to
increase, and has risen from 2,300 per month last year to 2,800 per month this
year.

RADIO BEACON SERVICE
There are now approximately 276 ships fitted with radio direction finding
apparatus plying to and from Canadian ports, and our previous forecast, that
in the course of the next few years, direction finding apparatus would form
a part of the permanent radio equipment of every large ship, is rapidly being
fulfilled.
The Radio Beacon system of the department now comprises eight stations,
located as follows: —
Cape Bauld, Nfld. Seal Island, N.S. ■
Heath Point Lightship. Lurcher Lightship.
Cape Ray, Nfld. South East Shoal, Lake Erie (new) .
Halifax Lightship. Race Rocks, Vancouver Island )new).
It is anticipated that further stations will be established next year and
with this in view a standard outfit is being designed to meet the requirements
of a permanent service.
In addition to the above facilities, ships can take bearings from any of the
coast stations of our Coast Station system. One thousand seven hundred and
thirty requests for signals for D/F purposes were dealt with by our coast
stations during the past year.
COMMERCIAL SHIP SERVICE
Each of the regular thirty-three coast stations handles commercial trafiic
to and from ships and in addition four of the Direction Finding Stations — Belle
Isle, Yarmouth, Chebucto Head, and St. John — combine commercial service
with their direction finding work.
Long-distance service to ships on the Atlantic is provided by the licensed
station at Louisburg, N.S., owned and operated by the Canadian Marconi
Company, and on the Pacific by the departmental station at Estevan, Van-
couver island. The traffic returns from these stations indicate that the route
of commercial traffic continues to shift from the low power short wave coast
stations to the high power long wave stations, the latter being better equipped
and located to handle this traffic in an expeditious manner.
RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE TO SMALL CRAFT ON THE PACIFIC COAST
The radiotelephone system has completed another year's work with satis-
factory results and is being used to a gratifying extent. The shore telephone
stations arc located at Vancouver (Merchants' Exchange), Merry Island,
Alert Baj', and Cape Lazo.
In addition the four life-saving radio telephone stations on the west coast
of Vancouver island at Banfield, Cape Beale, Pachena Point and Carmanah
are available for" this service. Approximately forty-one tugs and other small
craft are now equipped with radiophone apparatus. The sets in these boats are
operated by the captain or engineer and most of them are installed by an
operating company on a rental basis which includes service. The number of
paid radio telephone calls handled numbered 11,508.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 143
ship's emergency apparatus

INSPECTIONS
The administration of the Radiotelegraph Act has been carried on as usual
and no evasions or attempted evasions of section 4 of the Act, calling for com-
pulsory equipment of radiotelegraph apparatus on board passenger steamers,
have been reported.
Five new inspectors were added to the permanent staff during the year,
and permanent inspection establishments are now maintained at Victoria, Van-
couver, Winnipeg, Calgary, Regina, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Kitchener,
Ottawa, Halifax, Montreal, Quebec, and St. John.
Inspectors, in addition to inspecting all ships and licensed stations in their
district, also undertake the examination of operators for Certificates of Pro-
ficiency. All land stations are inspected at least once a year, and all ships when
they visit Canadian ports. Supervision of broadcasting comes under their
jurisdiction and now comprises a considerable part of their duties.
The policy of utilizing the services of qualified radio operators as " part
time " inspectors to look after small localities or areas and to assist permanent
inspectors in the larger centres continues to prove satisfactory. These '"' part
time " inspectors are paid a nominal salary of $15 to $30 per month, and are
located at the following points: —
Nova Scotia. — Halifax (Dartmouth), Glace Bay, and Sydney, N.S., and
district.
Prince 'Edward Island. — Charlottetown and Summerside.
New Brunswick. — St. John, Moncton (vacant), and Fredericton, N.B.
Quebec. — Montreal, St. Lambert, Quebec (vacant), Sherbrooke' (vacant),
and Three Rivers.
Ontario. — Brantford, Fort William (vacant). Port Arthur (vacant),
Hamilton, Kingston, Peterborough, Sarnia, Toronto (2), Windsor, Chatham,
North Bay (vacant), Sault Ste. Marie, and Kenora-Keewatin.
Manitoba. — Brandon and Winnipeg.
Saskatcheivan. — Moose Jaw, Regina, Saskatoon, and Prince Albert.
Alberta. — Calgaiy, Edmonton, and Lethbridge.
British Columbia. — Vancouver and Kamloops (vacant).
Yukon. — Dawson.
The number of inspections carried out during the fiscal year was: —
Coast and land stations 96
Ship stations 2, 181
Amateur experimental and private receiving stations 14,452
Total 16 , 729
EXAMINATIONS FOR CERTIFICATE OF PROFICIENCY IN RADIOTELEGIL\PHY
Protection for the safety of life at sea demands the employment of com-
petent operators on ship and at shore stations, while interference problems
necessitate a similar recjuirement in the case of amateur and land stations. To
secure this the radio regulations provide that all operators must satisfy the
minister as to their ability to operate the class of station on which they are
working. In the more important classes of service the operators must be the
holders of first, second or other prescribed class of certificate, while in the case
of stations of lesser importance, not likely to become a som-ce of interference,
the operators must satisfy a radio inspector that they are capable of handling
their equipment in an efficient manner.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER
145
One hundred and seventy-three operators were examined for Commercial
Certificate of Proficiency in Radio during the year, including seventy-two re-
examinations; ninety-five candidates were successful and seventy-eight failed.
Thirty-three holders of certificates were examined on additional types of equip-
ment; twenty-six were successful and seven failed.
Ninety-six candidates for Amateur Radio Certificates were also examined,
of whom ninety-five were successful and one failed.
Two thousand one hundred and four Certificates of Proficiency in Radio
have been issued by the department up to the end of March, 1928.

R.\DIO BROADCASTING
As anticipated, radio broadcast reception on the whole showed a per-
ceptible improvement over the signal level which prevailed during the year
1926-27, especially during the winter months, and it is not improbable that
a further betterment of conditions will be observed during the winter of 1928-29.
Ninety-nine broadcasting stations were licensed during the year, an increase
of three over 1926-27.
Active stations 74
Phantom stations 19
Inactive stations 6
99
(A phantom license is one which authorizes the licensee to use the apparatus of an existing station
under a special call sign.)
The total number of licenses issued for receiving sets was 268,420, an
increase of 52,770, and the net revenue from broadcasting license fees, after
deducting commissions to radio dealers, and to the Post Office Department for
the sale of licenses, and the subsidy of $9,644.50 for station CKY, Winnipeg
(50 cents in respect of each license issued in Manitoba) , amounted to $243,979.50.
BROADCASTING WAVELENGTH ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE UNITED STATES
The negotiations entered into with the United States Government in
February, 1927, with a view to obtaining the release for the use of Canada
of additional channels which were occupied by United States broadcasting
stations having failed, there has been no change in the wavelengths used by
Canadian stations, which are as follows: —

BROADCAST OF THE CELEBRATION OF THE DIAMOND JUBILEE OF CONFEDERATION
On the 1st July, 1927, citizens of the Dominion from coast to coast were
enabled by radio to hear the official program of the Celebration of the Diamond
Jubilee of Confederation at Ottawa.
The arrangements for this elaborate undertaking were made by a Broad-
casting Committee of which the Hon. Thomas Ahearn, P.C., was chairman.
Through the co-operation of the various railway, telegraph, telephone and
radio organizations throughout the Dominion, who placed their facilities at the
disposal of the committee, free of charge, the effort proved to be abundantly
successful, and the program which was broadcast through twent}'' Canadian
and one United States station, was heard in practically every comer of Canada,
as well as in other parts of the world, including New Zealand, Panama, Peru,
Great Britain, Holland, Brazil, South Africa, etc.
An idea of the magnitude of the enterprise may be had from the fact that
over 400 persons and some 19,000 miles of telephone and telegraph circuits
were employed. This was the first occasion on which the broadcasting stations
of the Dominion were linked together from coast to coast.
AMENDMENTS TO THE RADIOTELEGRAPH ACT
Concession to the Blind
A large number of persons afflicted with blindness derive much comfort
and pleasure from the reception of radio broadcasting and as many of them
are in poor circumstances, it was decided to forego the license fee of one dollar
($1) in such cases. Regulation No. 1 issued in accordance with Section 10
of the Radiotelegraph Act, chapter 43, Statutes 1913 (now chapter 195, Revised
Statutes of Canada, 1927) has, therefore, been amended by the addition of
the following: —
" 1. (a) no change
(b) Provided that the Minister may at his discretion issue free of charge to any-
blind person a license for a private receiving station upon being satisfied that
such person is blind."
During the fiscal year 1927-28 the number of free licenses issued under
the above regulation was 365.
COMMERCIAL ACTIVITIES
Imperial Communication
On February'- 23, 1928, an Imperial Committee consisting of representa-
tives of Great Britain, the Dominions and India, met in London, with the
following terms of reference: —
" To examine the situation which has arisen as a result of the competition of the Beam
Wireless with the Cable Services, to report thereon and to make recommendations with a
view to a common policy being adopted by the various Governments concerned."
Canada was represented on this committee by Sir Campbell Stuart, K.B.E.,
our representative on the Pacific Cable Board. He was assisted by L. J.
Gaboury, Deputy Postmaster General, representing the Post Office Depart-
ment, and C. P. Edwards, Director of Radio, representing the Department of
Marine. Tlie committee will examine in detail the financial and operating
arrangements of the British-owned cable and radio systems undertaking over-
seas communication services.
It is not anticipated that the final report of the committee will be avail-
able for several months.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 147
Transatlantic
The Marconi Beam Service between Dnimmondville, P.Q., and Bodmin,
England, which was inaugurated on October 25, 1926, continues in permanent
operation. The rates in effect via this circuit are as follows: —
Canada Eastern Zone to Great Britain and Ireland
Fully paid messages 18c. per word.
Deferred messages 8c. per word.
Nightletter messages $1.10 for 20 words or less and 6c. for each extra
word.
Weet-end letter messages SI .00 for 20 words^or less and 5c. for each extra
word.
Post letter messages 60c. for 20 M'ords or less and 3c. for each extra
word.
Transpacific
The Canadian Marconi Company are licensed to install a beam transmitter
at Drummondville to communicate direct with Australia. Work on this trans-
mitter is in progress and it is anticipated that the Australian service will be
placed in commission during the summer of 1928.
Communication With Isolated Points
The utility of radio as a means of communication with isolated points not
reached by telegraph or telephone lines is becoming more and more appreciated
by private enterprise, and during the year twenty-one licenses were issued to
companies and private individuals for stations of this class. Thirty-two
licenses were also issued to public utilities and power companies for the estab-
lishment of radio stations at their power plants and distribution centres for
the purpose of emergency communication in case of breakdown or other emer-
gency.
Other Departments of Canadian Government
Department of National Defence. — Eight commercial stations along the
McKenzie river and in the Yukon territory are operated by the Royal Cana-
dian Corps of Signals of the above department, with enlisted personnel.
Civil Aviation Stations.— The Directorate of Civil Government Air Opera-
tions of the Department of National Defence maintains eleven stations in
connection with its forestry and other air activities. These stations are
operated on behalf of the Directorate by the Royal Canadian Corps of Signals,
with an enlisted personnel.
Department of the Interior. — The patrol steamer Beothic, chartered by
the Department of the Interior for their far northern patrol, is fitted with a
short wave radio equipment, and maintains communication with civilization
during the whole of her annual cruise.
THE INTERNATIONAL RADIOTELEGRAPH CONFERENCE
The International Radiotelegraph Conference of Washington opened on
October 4, 1927, and closed on November 25, 1927.
This conference met for the purpose of revising the Radiotelegraph Con-
vention signed at London in 1912. Participating in the task of revision were the
properly accredited representatives of seventy-nine contracting administrations,
together with the representatives of international organizations and operating
companies aggregating three hundred and seventy-eight individuals.

The Government of the Dominion of Canada's delegation, appointed under
Order in Council of August 11, 1927 (P.C. 1548), was as follows:—
Head of Delegation. — Mr. A. Johnston, Deputy Minister, Department of
Marine, Ottawa.
Delegates. — Mr. C. P. Edwards, O.B.E., Director of Radio, Department
of Marine, Ottawa. Major W. A. Steel, M.C., Royal Canadian Corps of Signals,

The Conference was formally opened by the President of the United
States, who outlined in his opening address the main objects sought to be
obtained as the result of the Conference.
At the first plenary session, committees with their assignment of chair-
manships and vice-chairmanships were named as follows: —

Bureau.
While the Chairmanship of the Convention Committee was assigned to
the United States, all the sessions of that committee were presided over by the
head of the Canadian delegation.
On the committees formed, the Canadian delegation was represented as
follows: —
Committee No. 1 — Mr. Laurent Beaudrv.
2— Commander C. P. Edwards.
" 3 — Commander C. P. Edwards and D. Manson.
4— Major W. A. Steel and D. IManson.

7— Major W. A. Steel and J. W. Bain.
" 9 — British delegate on that Committee represented
Canada.
Aside from technical problems, the question which offered the most diffi-
culty was that of voting. Under the terms of the London Convention of 1912,
the principle of multiple voting based on colonial possessions was followed.
Complicating factors had since then arisen. Germany had lost her colonies.
The Irish Free State had been created. Besides, the Dominions took the view
that each of them was entitled to a vote quite independently of any vote or num-
ber of votes which might be allocated to Great Britain and her non self-gcvern-
ing colonies.
It was finally agreed that the representatives of any Government properly
accredited and in attendance at the conference should be permitted to sign the
new convention, the signatures to be in alphabetical order, in French, and that
any provision relating to voting would be omitted from the convention. With
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 149
this decision, an explanatory note was made to the effect that before the time
for holding the next conference arrives, the United States Government will,
through the regular diplomatic channels, take up with the Governments inter-
ested the question of the voting plan to be adopted for that occasion.
The convention* which will be known as the International Radiotelegraph
Convention of Washington, 1927, is completed by two sets of regulations, i.e. (1)
General Regulations and (2) Supplementary Regulations. A review of the
same follows: —
Convention
The convention itself sets out the main principles which are to govern
the establishment and operation of the different classes of radio services, the
basic idea being the minimization of international interference.
Apparatus and Licenses
The subscribing nations agree to maintain the apparatus of their stations in
accordance with the best scientific and technical progress, and to compel every
private station under their jurisdiction to take out a license under which such
stations will comply with the rules of the convention, as set down for the class
of service they perform.
Intercommunication
Communication between ships and between ship and shore stations is obli-
gatory, but in the case of fixed stations, that is, stations working between one
country and another, each country reserves the right to determine the countries
with which its stations shall work. This has its parallel in the cable situation.
Secrecy
With a receiving equipment of suitable type, it is possible for any station
to intercept the messages transmitted by other stations. In order to protect the
interests of the public, each country agrees to take steps to prevent the unauth-
orized reception of messages and the divulging of the contents.
Prionty of Distress Calls
The principle that distress calls and distress messages from ships at sea
take priority over all other radio communication is set down.
Arbitration
In the case of disagreement between two countries, compulsory arbitration
is provided for, the same to take place on the demand of one of the govern-
ments concerned.
Military Stations
Military and naval stations are not included in the scope of the convention^
except insofar as they may handle commercial traffic.
General Regulations, Part I
The general regulations which form a part of the convention, and which
have the same force and effect as the convention prescribe the detailed working
rules for the establishment and operation of the different radio service.
Classification of Transmitters
As has already been stated, the main object of the convention is the reduc-
tion of interference, and it having long been demonstrated that certain types
of radio transmitters cause much more interference than others, the regulations
*Copios of a publication containing the full text of the Convention and Regulations-
annexed thereto may be obtained from the Department. Price, twenty-five cents (25c.).
150 MARINE AND FISHERIES
first of all classify radio emissions into four general classes and prescribe the
conditions under which each type may be used. The four classes are as
follows: —
1. Pure continuous waves;
2. Continuous waves modulated at a periodic audible frequency (tonic
train) ;
3. Continuous waves modulated by voice (radiotelephone) ;
4. Damped waves.
Restriction of Use of Damped Waves
The worst offender from the interference standpoint is the old type spark
transmitter, and whilst in Canada and the United States, this problem has
already been dealt with and steps taken to eliminate it at points where it is a
source of trouble, it still affects these two countries internationally through the
medium of foreign ships when in the proximity of the coast line. There is also
the isolated case of the French Station " HYS ", at St. Pierre, Miquelon, adjacent
to the Maritime Provinces.
The question of the abolition of spark equipment was the subject of pro-
longed discussion based on the Canadian proposal that " on and after the
coming into effect of the convention no further new spark installations should
be permitted on ship or shore." The proposal was actively opposed by Great
Britain and other European countries and supported by the countries in North
and South America. After several days' discussion, Canada finally added an
amendment, that the proposal would not apply to small spark equipments of
limited range (300 watts power), the utility of which, in connection with dis-
tress calls, was not denied. The proposal thus amended carried.
Under the regulations, as finally drafted, no new installations of spark
transmitters may be made in stations on land after December 31, 1928, nor in
ships (except those of low power above mentioned) after December 31, 1929.
The use of all spark sets in stations on land is forbidden after December 31,
1934, and in ships (except those of low power already referred to) after Decem-
ber 31, 1939.
Allocation of Waves
The next major question was that of the allocation of radio waves or chan-
nels among the different classes of service, viz: —
1. Mobile service, which includes " ship to shore" and aircraft to ground;
2. Fixed services, i.e., for communication between fixed points on land and
including both national and international services;
3. Broadcasting services;
4. Special services, which includes meteorological, time signals, notices to
mariners, radio beacons, radio direction finding stations and private
experimental stations.
The spectrum of frequencies in actual radio use runs from 10 to 60,000 K/C
(or from 30,000 to 5 metres) and the final allocation was made as follows: —
The band 90 K/C wide between 10 K/C and 100 K/C (30,000 to 3,000
metres) is reserved primarily for high power, long distance trans-ocean com-
munications.
The band 400 K/C wide, between 100 K/C and 500 K/C (3,000 to 600
metres) is primarily, though not exclusively reserved for ship to shore and air-
craft services, certain European long wave broadcasting stations being allowed
to use the portion of this band between 160 K/C and 224 K/C (1,875-1,340
metres) .
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 151
The general calling waves for ship to shore and aircraft, for distress and
commercial work, and also for direction finding beacons are in this band.
The distress and calling wave for ships of 500 K/C (600 metres) , the Direc-
tion Finding wave of 375 K/C (800 metres), and the aircraft calling wave of
333 K/C (900 metres) remain unchanged.
The band 125 to 150 K/C (2,400 to 2,000 metres) is reserved exclusively
for " ship to shore " and aircraft working and it is on this band that most of
the long distance ship commercial traffic will continue to be handled. The call-
ing wave for this band is 143 K/C (2,100 metres).
The band 950 K/C wide, between 550 and 1,500 K/C (540 to 200 metres) is
reserved for broadcasting, but the European nations may use the lower end of the
same, viz., 1,300 to 1,500 K/C (230 to 200 metres) for certain special ship ser-
vice on small ships such as tug boats.
This mobile service also receives the next band 215 K/C wide, between
1,500 to 1,715 K/C (200 to 175 metres). Above 1,715 K/C (175 metres) the
channels are divided between the different services in proportion to their
importance.
These high frequencies above 1,715 K/C (175 metres) or the wavelengths
below 175 metres are still, more or less, in the development stage, and it is
intended that each class should be given an opportunity to experiment to
ascertain the utility of these waves for its own particular class of service.
It was a difficult matter to reconcile all the conflicting points of view in
regard to the allocation of waves and many and prolonged were the discussions
which took place.
Canadian interests demanded the long distance Trans-Atlantic and Trans-
Pacific services of this country be adequately protected, that there be adequate
provision for the future development of aircraft communication, and that broad-
casting services be protected from foreign enterprises.
On this last question it was somewhat surprising to find that some of the
most important European nations did not hold the opinion that the band 550 to
1,500 K/C (545 to 200 metres) should be devoted exclusively to broadcasting;
they desired to retain ship waves in the same, including those from the inter-
fering spark apparatus. This problem of interference from ships is serious
enough on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of Canada, but, after all, it does not
affect the big percentage of the inland radio listeners; on the other hand, in
Europe, by reason of the proximity of the majority of the listeners to the different
coast lines, it was believed that this question of interference would have been a
vital one.
For years foreign fishing vessels, operating along the Canadian Atlantic
coast, have been using spark equipment on 1,000 K/C (300 metres) and 665 K/C
(450 metres) which are within the broadcast band, for traffic and direction finding
purposes. Up to date Canada has lacked the necessary authority to regulate
such traffic, but Article 18 of the Regulations will completely remove this source
of annoyance for all broadcast listeners in the Maritime Provinces. After
numerous conferences on the matter, between the interested delegations, it was
decided to forbid the use of 665 K/C (450 metres) from the date on which the
new Convention becomes effective (January 1, 1929), in regions where it might
interfere with broadcasting; 1,000 K/C (300 metres) may not be used for
traffic between the hours of 6 p.m. and midnight, and is to be entirely dispensed
with, insofar as spark equipment is concerned, after January 1, 1930. It may
still be used by fishing vessels for direction finding purposes, but such use
must not interfere with broadcasting.
Aircraft Communication
The use of radio for communication purposes by aircraft is becoming
increasingly more important in Canada as civil aviation and forest protective
152 MARINE AND FISHERIES
work is developed. Canada's representatives brouglit out quite forcibly the
importance of this service to this country, and succeeded in having established
definite wavebands for the use of such services. In the past there has beejn
considerable interference from high powered broadcasting stations and others,
on aircraft waves, but by mutual arrangement among the nations this has been
greatly decreased, and in some cases eliminated. With the increased facilities
now available it will be possible to provide for the forest protective services in
all provinces, the Government aerial surveying activities and for all forms of
commercial aviation.
Operators
Another important point was that of the qualifications of operators.
This is an international question, since a ship or aircraft station improperly
operated could completely upset international working and might readily
become a menace to life through interfering with the prompt handling of distress
calls.
A ship operator must not only be able to operate at a reasonable speed, but
should have, in addition, sufficient technical qualifications to repair and remedy
faults which may develop in the radio apparatus, as once a ship is clear of the
dock, the operator is entirely on his own resources.
Under the 1912 convention two classes of certificate were established, calling
for operating speeds of 12 and 20 words per minute, respectively, knowledge of
the international regulations, and certain theoretical and practical technical
knowledge.
The second class certificate which prescribed a speed of 12 words per
minute has been a source of considerable trouble to Canada, particularly in the
congested radio area of the North Atlantic. It is not difficult for a person to
acquire this minimum speed, and in certain countries advantage has been taken
of this fact to have one of the deck officers qualify for a certificate and thus
avoid carrying a regular operator.
Transmission of traffic at 12 words per minute is annoying enough on a busy
circuit, but even this speed is not maintained. The class of operator having only
these qualifications does not handle very much business, and in a matter of
months it is found that his operating speed rapidly falls from 12 words per
minute to, as the humourist of the Convention described it, '' 12 words per
month ", with disastrous effects to the radio organization.
The whole question was thoroughly discussed and it was finally agreed that
20 words per minute should be the minimum operating speed of any operator,
which adequately takes care of the situation before mentioned.
The final arrangement establishes three classes of operators: —
1. The first class, which demands a minimum speed of 25 words per minute,
with good theoretical and technical qualifications of both radiotelegraph
and radiotelephone apparatus;
2. The second class, which demands a speed of 20 words per minute, and
a lower standard of theoretical and practical knowledge of operating
radiotelegraph apparatus only; and
3. The special class, which demands a minimum speed of 20 words per
minute, and such technical qualifications as each administration may
prescribe.
A first class operator is qualified to take charge of a ship station of any-
class; a second class operator may act as junior operator on a big ship or take
charge of the apparatus of a smaller vessel. The special class is intended to
cover the special cases such as fishing boats and those which are not, by legis-
lation, compelled to carry radio apparatus in connection with " safety of life
at sea."
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 153
There was much discussion over the question of experience. The majority
desired three years' experience at sea in the case of a first class man, and one
year in the case of a second class man, and whilst agreeing with the general
principle that experience is not only desirable but essential, a provision such
as this would prevent fully qualified operators from Canadian shore stations
acting as operators on board a ship. After prolonged debate, it was finally
agreed that the experience for a first class operator should be fixed at one year,
a second class six months, and to meet the specific case of Canada, where there
are so many coast stations, it was agreed that one year's service on either a
coast station or a ship would render a first class operator eligible to take charge
of a first class ship station.
The radiotelephone certificate is for operators on small ships carrying low
power (not exceeding 300 watts) radiotelephone equipments, and precaution
was taken to see that it was so worded as to cover such equipments as are
installed in tugs plying on the Pacific coast of Canada.
In the case of aircraft operators, the number of hours of flying service will
be prescribed by each Administration.
Experimental and Amateur Stations
The development of short waves has lifted the amateur from a national to
an international plane, and the conference deemed it necessary to draft regula-
tions to regulate the international activities of this class of station.
The views of North America and some of the British Dominions were
materially different from those of the majority of European nations. Canada
and the United States were disposed to be as liberal with the amateur inter-
nationally as nationally, while the European nations were combined to limit his
activities to an absolute minimum. Some of them even proposed to suppress
him altogether.
It was difficult for the nations who were opposed to the amateur to appre-
ciate the North American point of view; for instance, all European countries
operate their telegraphs as a government monopoly, and they drew rather lurid
pictures of their telegraphic revenue suffering from the enormous international
traffic the amateur may handle, a contingency which this country, in turn, found
difiicult to appreciate. However, the spirit of compromise prevailed, and the
impression gained was that in future the European amateurs will enjoy bands
of waves and privileges far beyond their expectations, while Canadian and
American amateurs will find themselves under more restrictions in so far as
their international activities are concerned.
The new regulations prescribe that amateurs must not exchange communi-
cations with stations in countries which give notice that they are opposed to
such exchange. The international messages they transmit must be in plain
language and limited to the subject of the experiments, and to remarks of a
private nature. The operators must be capable of handling the apparatus
efl5ciently and must be able to operate at a reasonable speed.
The bands out of which the amateur may be allotted channels for inter-
national use are: —
The band 285 K/C, between 1,715 K/C and 2,000 K/C (175-150 metres) .
The band 500 K/C, between 3,500 K/C and 4,000 K/C (85-75 metres).
The band 300 K/C, between 7,000 K/C and 7,300 K/C (42-8-41 metres).
The band 400 K/C, between 14,000 K/C and 14,400 K/C (21 -4-20 -8
metres).
The band 2,000 K/C, between 28,000 K/C and 30,000 K/C (10-7-10
metres) .
The band 4,000 K/C, between 56,000 K/O and 60,000 K/C (5-35^5
metres).
154 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Working the Nearest Coast Station
The London Convention provides that ship stations should, as a matter of
principle, communicate with the coast station which is nearest to them. The
purpose is to avoid unnecessary^ interference which is liable to occur when a
ship endeavours to exchange traffic with another coast station a long distance
away with correspondingly weak signals and repetitions.
This rule, since 1919, has been '' more honoured in the breach than in the
observance " and has been a source of much trouble to Canadian statiom-.
Since 1920, new long wave, long distance transmitters have been developed,
and ships fitted with this type of apparatus work with coast stations specially
equipped to handle traffic, so provided; as a result, there are now two distinct
services, the first, mainly " aid to navigation and safety of life " conducted on
the shorter waves of the order of 600 metres, and the second, commercial traflfic
handled on waves of the order of 2,000 metres.
Prior to the advent of this long range equipment, the 600 metre wave Cana-
dian station at Cape Race handled traffic yielding as much as $70,000 per year
(90 per cent being to United States points) ; to-day that station is handling
traffic providing less than one-tenth that amount.
To meet long wave competition from stations in the United States, the
Canadian Marconi Company were, in 1922, licensed to install a long wave station
at Glace Bay, N.S. This station is handling a satisfactory volume of business,
which about offsets the reduction suffered by Cape Race.
To return to the matter of the convention, it was not only desirable that
no regulation should be accepted which would tend to prejudice this traffic,
but, if possible, it was desired to secure some regulation which would tend to
route the traffic through Canadian stations, even if such action might bring
criticism of impeding progress.
The one advantage Canadian stations enjoy is that their geographical posi-
tion relative to the North Atlantic steamship routes make them the " nearest
coast station " for a considerable portion of the route, and it was hoped that
privileges might, by regulation, be accorded such stations.
The stations in Great Britain occupy a similar position, in regard to the
eastern end of these routes.
Canada pressed the matter strongly through the various committees some-
times with the support of one or two countries, sometimes entirely alone. How-
ever, it is felt that the final result has justified the efforts made and that ways
and means are provided whereby the Canadian commercial companies can carry
on with every hope of success, provided they continue to provide a first class
service.
The regulations reiterate the general principle of working the nearest coast
station, set out in the London Convention of 1912, for spark transmitters^ and
extend it to include telephone and tonic train emission. Canada's desire was to
have a similar regulation in a modified form apply to the stations operating on
continuous waves on the long wave band, to the general effect that any ship
communicating with other than the nearest coast station must cease work if she
interfered with the nearest station.
Great Britain had already submitted a similar proposal, but abandoned it,
so that there was no support from that quarter.
The final regulation, as agreed upon in regard to the long wave band deals
with the problem from a somewhat different viewpoint. It contemplates the
allocation of a specific wave or waves to each of the different stations in each
area, each station to enjoy priority on the wave or waves which are allotted to
it, and its working on such waves must not be interfered with.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 155
The conference itself did not allocate any waves. This, in the case of the
North Atlantic, was done by private agreement among the managements and
the representatives of the administrations concerned in the operation of long
wave ship to shore services.
There are 13 waves available, in the band 125 K/C to 150 K/C (2,400 to
2,000 metres), one of which, 2,100 metres, is the calling wave, and the agreement
proposes to divide the remaining 12 on the basis of 6 to Europe and 6 to North
America. Six European nations are given one wave each, the United States 4,
and Canada 2. With this arrangement, Canada will be able to adequately look
after not only all traffic to and from Canadian bound ships but a considerable
volume to and from American points, it being observed, in passing, that some
90 per cent O'f the North Atlantic traffic is destined to and from the United
States.
Control of Radio on Board Ship
The radio service on board a ship or aircraft is placed under the supreme
control of the master of the ship or aircraft and the secrecy of messages is
properly protected.
Procedure
Several long articles deal with the general procedure to be observed in the
transmission and reception of radiotelegrams ; these follow the general procedure
set out in the London Convention, greatly amplified to meet developments since
that date.
New procedure to cover transmission and reception on the long wave band,
and for the operation of direction finding stations is also included.
These changes and additions are demanded by virtue of the fact that in
the past the mobile service was carried on on single waves; hereafter it will
be carried on on bands of waves, stations being now authorized to use any of
the waves in an allotted band.
The basic principle of the operating organization is that there are two
standby waves, viz: 600 metres (which is also the distress wave) and 2,100
metres, and all ships and stations not engaged in correspondence will revert to
these waves and standby for calls. Provision is made whereby ships using the
long w^ave band will either revert to 600 metres at specified intervals or main-
tain a separate watch on this wave in order to take care of distress calls.
Distress: Procedure
The whole of the "distress procedure" was carefully gone over and the
London procedure changed and amplified in the light of the past fifteen years'
experience.
In addition to the distress call SOS which has not been changed, an urgency
signal has been established to take care of cases in which a ship is in diSiculty,
but where danger to life is not involved. Many occasions have arisen in the
past where a ship has sent out a distress call, and another ship, at considerable
waste of time and expense, has gone out of its way to render assistance, when
the trouble was only some mechanical defect not involving danger to life.
The new urgency signal XXX provides for such cases.
Provision is also made for a signal to operate an automatic alarm device,
such signal consisting of 12 dashes, each four seconds long, with one second
inter\'al between them. This is intended to call the attention of ships carrying
one operator when that operator is off watch.
The automatic receiving apparatus will be left in operation, and will only
respond to the above mentioned signal. On receipt of such a signal a bell will
ring in the chart room, indicating that some ship is in distress; the operator will
then be called and put on watch. This arrangement is still in the development
stage and the regulation is intended to protect its further development.
156 MAPdNE AND FISHERIES
In the case of ships sending out distress calls by radiotelephone, they will,
in addition to the regular SOS, send out the spoken expression MAYDAY,
corresponding to the French pronunciation "m'aider" (Help me).
The question of allocation of call signs raised considerable discussion and
Canada was finally given all the call signs commencing with CF, CG, CH, CI,
CJ, CK, VA, VB, VC, VD, VE, VF, VG. It will be appreciated that these are
more than adequate to meet Canada's requirements for many years to come.
It was proposed, at first, that broadcasting stations should be treated as
fixed stations, and given a three letter group out of calls allotted to their
respective countries. Incidentally the "C" calls now enjoyed by Canada were
allotted to other countries, leaving Canada only the V's, it being pointed out
that the V's alone gave a total of over 8,000 call signs, ample for the needs of
this country. Such a proposal would have meant changing the call sign of
every" broadcasting station in the Dominion, and Canada's refusal supported
ably by the United States to even discuss, much less accept, such an idea resulted
in the arrangement above stated, viz., not only the "Y" and "C" call signs
already enjoyed, but an additional allotment of C's.
Under the new arrangement, fixed and land stations will have three
letter call signs; ship stations will have four letter call signs; aircraft stations
five letter call signs; amateur stations four or five letter call signs with a figure
inserted. Broadcasting stations are specifically omitted, leaving each country
free to allot any sort of call sign it wishes, out of the series it has assigned to it.
Accounting
A considerable number of the regulations deal with form of messages and
accounting for the same. This is a somewhat complicated subject on which a
good deal of time was spent. A radiotelegram, for instance destined to Europe,
sent to a Canadian station by a foreign ship, is handed to the Canadian land-
lines for delivery to the cable, which in turn hand it to the European landlines
for delivery. Each one of these services or administrations, as well as the coast
station, makes a charge for the services rendered, while the operator on the
ship, which probably will never come near Canada, has the tolls in cash. On the
other hand, Canadian ships have accounts with foreign coast stations which
have handled their trafiic. The rendering of accounts and the settlement of the
balances between the different administrations is, therefore, a somewhat com-
plex matter. Canada endeavoured to have the principle established that the
charges follow the message, which is, it is believed, a simple and effective way of
dealing with the question. However, the European opposition to this procedure
was too strong and a system along the general lines of that established by the
London Convention, amplified to meet present conditions, was adopted. The
gold franc continues to be the basis of settlement.
Abbreviations
The abbreviations to be used in handling radio traffic were considerably
amplified in the light of experience and unifonn hours of service for ships, not
maintaining 24-hour watch, were established, so that every ship can, by refer-
ence to the international publications, ascertain exactly when any other ship
will be on watch.
Briefly, the world is divided into six divisions, —
Eastern Atlantic Ocean,
Indian Ocean,
Western Pacific Ocean,
Central Pacific Ocean,
Eastern Pacific Ocean,
Western Atlantic Ocean,
and the hours during which watch must be kept in each division arc specified.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 157
REGULATIONS, PART II
Several points covering the charges on messages and the application of the
international telegraph regulations to radiotelegrams were placed in the Regu-
lations, Part II, to which Canada, the United States and the Republic of
Honduras, did not subscribe. The points contained therein are of secondary
importance and do not affect the general structure of international radio working.
INDUCTIVE INTERFERENCE
This section has been operated along the same general lines as in the past,
with increased staff and equipment.
Fifteen interference cars are equipped and in operation investigating inter-
ference from the following headquarters: Vancouver, Calgary, Regina, Winnipeg,
London, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec, St. John, N.B., and
Halifax.
In addition to the regular tours of the interference cars, special trips are
made by the investigators, either with the interference cars', or by train, in
cases where the interference aft'ects many broadcast listeners and the town
would not be visited, on tour, for a considerable time.
" Part time " inspectors are provided with limited equipment for the
investigation of radio interference and carry out preliminary investigations in
all cases of interference in their districts, and arrange for the elimination of
same, if at all possible, with the facilities at their command. In cases where
they require assistance from headquarters, an investigator is sent from the
nearest divisional headquarters.
The equipment of the interference cars has been considerably improved
during the year and improved means have been devised for the location of many
sources of interference and for their elimination. The most important apparatus
carried on the interference cars consists of a radio receiver with a direction
finding loop, by means of which the investigator is able to associate the inter-
ference with certain particular lines which are radiating same. The automobiles
carry, also, small portable receivers, fitted with exploring coils for investigations
ir^ power houses. In case the interference which has been reported is not heard
when the investigator visits the town, he endeavours to produce, artificially, such
conditions as will cause the interference to start. With the permission of the
public utilities, he strikes the poles carrying transformers and other electrical
apparatus, and shakes the guy wires, causing the power lines to swing and
vibrate as they would in windy weather or when heavy traffic causes the poles
to shake.
If the interference is apparently caused by the distribution system or
apparatus belonging to the public utilities, the investigator obtains the assist-
ance of a lineman to help in locating the exact source and when the source of
interference is located, the public utilities invariably take steps to repair the
fault which is found to be the cause. In case the interference is found to
originate on some privately owned electrical apparatus the owner of the apparatus
is requested to take the necessary steps to eliminate this interference, and the
investigator may assist him in testing liis apparatus to determine where the
fault is. In cases where the interference is caused by the normal operation of
electrical apparatus, the investigator tries the effect of surge traps and preventive
devices which are carried in the car. Where it is possible to prevent the inter-
ference by such means tlie owner of the electrical apparatus may purchase the
necessary equipment either from the Department or from other sources.
Local radio clubs are instructed how to deal with simple sources of inter-
ference and they are provided with circulars describing tests to assist them in
locating and eliminating the same.
158 MARINE AND FISHERIES
We are pleased to report that our investigators have received the greatest
co-operation in their work, in practically every point visited, particularly from
the public utilities, and many of the latter have provided themselves with port-
able radio receivers for the investigation of interference caused by their lines.
It is gratifying to note the increased interest in the prevention of radio inter-
ference on the part of most of the public utilities throughout the country, who
realize the importance of eliminating any sources of interference which may be
caused by their systems, both for the sake of the listening public and to ensure
that their lines and apparatus are in first class condition. Radio interference
frequentl^^ indicates defects which may cause serious damage, through fire, elec-
tric shock or damage to plant if not rectified in the early stages. The British
Columbia Electric Company appears to have gone furthest along this line by
employing a full time electrician for investigation work on their lines. This,
electrician is, at present, working in co-operation with our inves'tigators in
Vancouver. The Toronto Hydro-Electric System do considerable investigating,
as do many of the smaller public utilities. The Radio Branch investigators
instruct the superintendents and linemen of the public utilities in means of
dealing with the interference and supply circulars prepared by headquarters,
describing means of locating and eliminating interference radiating from these
sources.
In the case of privately owned electrical apparatus, such as violet ray
machines, farm lighting plants, electrical signs, and many other sources of inter-
ference, it is found that rarely does any person desire to be a nuisance to his
neighbour and in nearly all cases they either agree to cease using the apparatus
during the broadcast hours, or, if the interference is preventable, to install
suppression devices which the department provides at cost. In some cases the
local listeners affected have subscribed the cost of the device. These usually
cost only a few dollars and are easily installed by an electrician.
The number of sources of radio interference investigated personally by the
staff of this department may be summarized as follows: —
Sources investigated —
Domestic electrical appliances causing interference 291 5-3%
Electrical distribution systems and power lines 4,383 80-7%
Commercial electrical apparatus 610 11 -2%
Radio apparatus (amateur and commercial) 152 2-8% .
Total sources investigated 5,436 100%
Action taken —
Number of sources definitely reported cured 4,880 89-8%
Number of sources not yet reported cured 465 8 • 5%
Number of sources having no economic cure 91 1 • 7%
Total 5,436 100%
In addition to the sources listed above, a great number of cases have been
successfully dealt with by correspondence and 'he interference eliminated by
the owners of the apparatus on receipt of detailed instructions from the Radio
Branch headquarters or local inspectors. Many special surge traps have been
designed and special and standard surge traps sold to suppress interference from
domestic and commercial electrical apparatus.
Many of the 465, or 8-^ per cent of the sources which are listed as not yet
reported cured, have undoubtedly been successfully dealt with by the owners
of the apparatus causing the interference. In all cases of preventable inter-
ference the investigator specifics in detail the most economic means of sup-
pressing the interference, conducting tests when necessary.
The sources recorded as having no economic cure include some cases of
power line and street car interference where the radio receivers are close to the
power lines. They also include electro-medical and other types of apparatus
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 159
where all known means have failed to eliminate the interference. Research is
being conducted in an endeavour to find a means of suppressing such inter-
ference.
As an illustration of the widespread interference from one single source, the
following is an extract from the report of one of our investigators: —
" On March 28, 1928, in Victoria, B.C., a loose transformer cutout was located by the
radio inspector, after a difficult investigation extending over several days. This interfer-
ence was first reported on March 20, and was very intermittent, causing no interference
from the 24th to the 26th, but starting again and becoming more continuous on the 27th.
" The investigator commenced by patrolling the entire city and it was found that the
interference was extremely loud near any of the street car lines. It was, therefore, neces-
sary to compare the loudness of the interference on streets away from the car line. By
this method the investigator Hmited the area under investigation and finally located the
exact pole by the sledge hammer test. The fault was found to be a loose cutout, which
was sparking, in the primary lead to the transformer. The sparking and the interference
stopped for an instant when the pole was tapped with the sledge hammer. This investi-
gation required eighteen hours of the inspector's time, as well as valuable assistance given
by several broadcast listeners. When the fault was repaired, many broadcast listeners,
several miles from the source, reported reception free from this interference. The 2,200
volt power line to which the defective cutout was connected, ran parallel to and within a few
feet from the street railway feeder cable, and the surge from the power line was induced
to the railway feeder and carried by it many miles, causing intereference to all radio
receivers along the car line."
Research work has been carried out both at Ottawa and on many trans-
mission lines and industrial plants throughout Canada, and by several of the
radio inspectors at their own headquarters. Types of apparatus and methods
of investigating interference have been developed and a number of surge traps,
both for experimental purposes and for permanent installation, have been
designed. Probably the most far reaching in its effect of these new devices
will be the surge trap for the elimination of interference from telegraph appar-
atus. Satisfactory negotiations have been completed with the various tele-
graph companies operating in Canada, whereby they co-operate with the Radio
Branch in investigating and arranging for the elimination of much interference
caused by their apparatus, along the lines recommended by the Radio Branch.
There are at present over one hundred towns in which preliminary investiga-
tions have been carried out and the telegraph companies have undertaken to
endeavour to eliminate the interference from their lines.
Several manufacturers of electrical apparatus have been approached regard-
ing certain features of their products which cause radio interference, and by
co-operation with the Radio Branch, the designs have been revised to eliminate
the objectionable features. Some dealers guarantee their products not to cause
radio interference, and such articles as electric warming pads have been
replaced by dealers free of charge on that account.
In addition to the interference work, the investigators do any other work
required by the Radio Branch in the towns they visit. Such work includes the
sale of licenses, inspection of amateur stations and the examination of can-
didates for operators' certificates, etc.
The reports of the year indicate a great advance in the results obtained
the previous year, above the normal increase which is to be expected with the
increased staff and equipment.
1926-27 1927-28
Sources investigated 2,793 5,436
Per cent of sources reported cured 87% 89-8%
From correspondence received, it is believed that there is also a great
increase in the number of sources of interference eliminated by the public utili-
ties and owners of electrical apparatus.
It is also believed that the general noise level of interference throughout
the Dominion, and the length of time which faults cause interference before
160 MARINE AND FISHERIES
they are repaired have been considerably reduced during the year. These
improvements are more than keeping pace with the increased sensitivity of
the sets now used by the broadcast listeners. There still remains, however,
much work to be done, particularly in cities where much electricity is used,
to reduce the level of the continuous noise, in addition to the work of investi-
gating new sources of interference.
NEW CONSTRUCTION, ADDITIONS AND ALTERATIONS
During the year in addition to the regular maintenance work which was
carried out, including painting of buildings and masts where necessary, and
overhauling rigging and other related equipment, the department, in accord-
ance with its policy of improving reception conditions for the broadcast list-
ener, installed two additional continuous wave and interrupted continuous wave
transmitters on the Great Lakes and three of similar type on the East coasl^
and gulf of St. Lawrence. Also, in conformity with the same policy and that
of improving aids to navigation, valve type radio beacon transmitters emitting
interrupted continuous waves were installed; one on the Great Lakes and one
on the West coast. These beacons are becoming increasingly useful as more
and more ships are being fitted with radio direction finding equipment.
In order to ensure continuous communication between the different bases
established by the Hudson Strait Expedition, radio stations were erected at each,
equipped with medium power valve type transmitters. Electric power for driv-
ing the transmitters and for lighting the buildings was provided by gasolene
engine driven generators. Regular communication was maintained between the
expedition and Ottawa by means of a short wave transmitter installed, in addi-
tion to the regular station equipment, at the central base at Wakeham Bay.
The following is a synopsis of the new construction, additions or alterations
carried out at each station concerned during the fiscal year 1927-28: —
West Coast
Ale7't Bay. — A small mast, new aerial and counterpoise were erected for the
radiophone transmitter.
Bull Harbour. — A new gasolene engine driven generating unit together with
a 13-plate starting battery and a remotely controlled switchboard were installed,
the latter being so arranged as to allow the operator on watch to start and stop
the generating plant without leaving his working position at the receiver.
Advantage was taken of the presence of the starting battery to use it for supply-
ing current to electric lights installed in the operating house, which resulted in
improved working conditions for the staff.
Cape Lazo. — A second single piece, 120-foot mast, complete with concrete
deadmen and all rigging and fittings, also a counterpoise for the radiophone
transmitter, was erected. The operating and dwelling houses were overhauled
and placed in good order.
Digby Island. — A closed circuit inductance unit was installed and the C.W.
transmitter converted into the five-unit type. A tone wheel was fitted for I.C.W.
transmission and a new aerial change-over switch and transmitting relay
installed. The rigging was overhauled, and a new aerial erected. To enable
watch to bo maintained simultaneously on two wavelengths a 600-metre standby
receiver was installed. A plank sidewalk was built from the station to the
wharf. The power line was overhauled and repaired.
Dead Tree Point. — A new trestle was erected to support the 1,000-gallon
fresh water supply tank, and all connecting pipes were boxed in as a protection
from frost.
REPORT Oh THE DEPUTY MINISTER 161
Estevan Point — A new aerial was erected. Considerable work was done
on the Estevan-Hesquiat road, corduroy and binish being put down and road
ditched and graded.
Point Grey.- — A radiophone transmitter ex Vancouver City Station was
installed. In order to improve the appearance of the grounds and buildings the
roadway was gravelled and concrete curbs constructed at each side, concrete
walks were laid and the buildings painted. A large part of the site adjoining
the buildings was levelled and seeded.
Race Rocks. — A type 400 W radio beacon transmitter was installed in the
fog alarm building. The aerial was supported between the lighthouse tower
and a 70-foot single piece wooden mast erected for the purpose. A suitable
ground system was also put down and a larger engine capable of driving both
the fog alarm and the radio beacon transmitter was installed.
Lije-Saving Service. — The four radiotelephone equipments installed for the
Life-Saving Sennce at Bamfield, Cape Beale, Pachena, and Carmanah were
given their annual overhaul and all necessary replacements and repairs effected.
Great Lakes
Southeast Shoal, Lake Erie, Radio Beacon. — A type 400 watt valve equipped
radio beacon transmitter was installed in the new combined Fog Alarm and
Lighthouse recently constructed on this shoal. Due to the restricted natiu'c
of the structure it was necessary to erect the aerial above the lantern in the
form of a horizontal rectangular wire grid fastened to four self-supporting
tubular masts built into the concrete walls at the comers of the building.
Midland, Ont. — A 1,600 watt C.W. and I.C.W. valve transmitter was
installed with very satisfactory results.
Kingston, Ont. — A 1,600 watt C.W. and I.C.W. valve transmitter was
installed. The operating house and dwelling at the station which were wired
for electric lighting when built were connected to a power line constructed for
the department by the Kingston Public Utilities Commission.
Tobermory, Ont. — A Type M.S. valve receiver was installed.
East Coast
Chebucto Head, N.S., Direction Finding.- — The station building was
extended to accommodate a new 1,600 watt C.W. and I.C.W. transmitter and
new generating set and same were installed. The latter is arranged to be
remotely started and stopped by the operator without moving from his work-
ing position. A new 500-gallon gasolene tank was installed and connected
to a Bowser pump. A new D.F. aerial was erected. This new equipment went
into operation on the 23rd of January.
Canso, N'.S., Direction Finding. — The ^ K.W. Canadian Marconi spark
transmitter was replaced by a used 2 K.W. set of the same type. A type G-3'
D.F, receiver, together with a new operating table to accommodate same and
a remotely controlled send-receive switch, were installed. Necessary repairs
were made to the road between the station and the main highway.
Cape Race, Nfld., Direction Finding. — An M.S.A. and M.S.T. receiver and
amplifier were installed.
St. Paul Island, N.S., Direction Finding. — The type 12 A. D.F. receiver
was replaced by a type G-3 type receiver, which considerably improved the
efficiency of the station.

erected.
Nottingham Island, Hudson Strait. — A temporary station was erected and
equipped with a 500 watt C.W. and I.C.W. transmitter, and type M.S. valve
receiver. Two 150-foot steel masts were erected.
SPECL^L ASSISTANCE RENDERED TO SHIPS DLRIXG THE YEAR BY GOVERNMENT R.\DIO
STATIONS
West Coast
Digby Island
SS. "Princess Charlotte".— At 21.23 on August 30, 1927, the Digby Island
station received a distress message from the ss. Princess Charlotte advising
ashore Vichnefski rock near Wrangell. Signals from the Charlotte were very
weak, and she was unable to hear Digby's reply. At 21.33 Digby Island informed
the Ketchikan Station of the casualty and requested that if possible a cutter be
sent to assistance. At 21.35 Ketchikan was in communication with the
Charlotte, who requested removal of passengers. At 21.40 Ketchikan in touch
with the ss. Explorer in vicinity of Wrangell, who proceeded to assistance,
.-arriving about 5 a.m., after encountering heavy fog. The Charlotte had floated
■ ofif, but unmanageable, and drifting, water in fuel tanks. The Explorer removed
passengers and conveyed them to Wrangell, the Charlotte proceeding under tow.
JEstevan Point
SS. "Arkansas" and ss. "Suremico".— At 10.05 on June 3, 1927, the Esteyan
Station received a distress message from the ss. Arkansas reporting collision
with the ss. Suremico five miles north cape Flattery, in fog; Surcniico not in
danger and standing by Arkansas. The Pachena Point Direction Finding Station
advised the Banfield Life-Saving Station and C.G.S. Malaspina. The Mala-
spina took the Arkansas in tow until relieved by the ss. Salvage King, who
towed vessel to Victoria, B.C. The Suremico proceeded under own steam.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER TSS
M.S. "Noble".— At 18.00 on January 5, 1928, Mr. Smith of Escalante, B.C.,
telephoned the Estevan Station requesting information regarding a wreck in
vicinity Escalante, as wreckage had been seen on the beach, and that he was
proceeding to investigate. The officer in charge informed Mr. Smith that no
wreck had been reported. At 21.20 Mr. Smith reported men on wreck or reef
about four miles south of him and that this information had been telephoned
direct to the Tofino Live-Saving Station, who advised lifeboat leaving imme-
diately, but on account of heavy sea doubtful if they could get past Riley's
cove. The officer in charge at Estevan communicated the above information,
together with local weather conditions, to Captain Henderson, C.G.S. Givenchy.
Both the Givenchy and lifeboat were off the approximate position of wreck at
daylight on January 6, but were unable to locate same owing to heavy sea and
mist. With the assistance of Mr. Smith, directions were given the Givenchy^
and with the aid of a fire on beach the lifeboat was able to run in channel and
rescue two of the crew, four being drowned. Mr. Smith and Government line-
man were asked to keep a lookout for bodies. The vessel was a total loss.
SS. "Griffco".— At 22.40 and 23.20 on January 11, 1928. the ss. Grijjco
broadcast ''Help SOS"; this was repeated several times, but no other par-
ticulars or information were given. The Estevan Station answered the call
immediately, but receiving no response, broadcast the SOS. The Pachena
Direction Finding Station announced approximate position of vessel 218-5
degrees from that station. This inf omiation was also broadcast by Estevan.
The ss. Planter tried to raise' the Griffco and reported signals very loud. At
8.20 a.m. on January 12, the ss. Aorangi reported running out bearing given by
Pachena Direction Finding Station. At 6.10 a.m. on the 13th the Griffco broad-
east the following: " Unable receive on wireless. Report us Inter Island vSteam

Pachena Point Direction Fiiiding
At 10.12 a.m., on November 19, 1927, the lightkeeper at Carmanah reported
to the Pachena Direction Finding station by radiophone, "one gasboat reported
ashore and two in distress off Cloose." At 10.20 a.m. Pachena notified the
Banfield Lifeboat which put out, also gave details to U.S.S. Snohomish who
proceeded to Cloose. The ss. Vinemoor, abeam Carmanah about 10 a.m'.,,
reports no gasboats sighted. Pachena called Norwegian vessel abeam Car-
manah, but received no reply, also broadcast general call to any ship near
Carmanah Light. Details were given to U.S.S. Swallow for information coast-
guard lifeboat at Neah bay. The report was evidently a false one as no
substantiation of same was received and no wreckage found by beach patroh

Review of the Fisheries of 1927
During the year under review the quantity of fish landed, both^sea and
inland, was much less than in 1926, and the marketed value was considerably
lower. The marketed value for the whole of Canada was $49,497,038, while
for 1926 it was $56,360,633.

The province of Nova Scotia shows a decrease in value of a million and
half dollars from the 1926 value but is a half million dollars ahead of that
for 1925. Unfavourable weather conditions during 1927 were responsible for a
large part of the decreased catch in this province, together with an over-
production in the months of November and December of 1926, when unusually
mild and favourable weather conditions aided the fishermen in landing large
quantities of fish. The catch of cod and haddock was much lower and gave
a decrease in value of $1,200,000 and ^270,000 respectively.
In the province of New Brunswick, where the drop in value was nearly a
million dollars, there were smaller catches of cod, pollock, herring, and lobsters.
Notwithstanding a larger quantity of sardines landed, the value was less by
some $170,000.
The value of the fisheries of Prince Edward Island shows a slight increase
over that of the previous year, due to higher prices obtained for certain kinds
of fish, although the catches in most instances were about the same or slightly
lower than in 1926.
In the province of Quebec, sea fisheries district, there were decreases in
the' catch of cod, herring, and lobsters, three of the chief kinds taken. The catch
of salmon was slightly less, while a large increase in the catch of mackerel is
recorded.
The increase in the value for Ontario was due to larger catches of herring,
trout, and tullibee. Although the catch of whitefish was slightlj^ less than in
1926, a higher value was obtained.
Notwithstanding that the quantity of some of the principal kinds of fish
landed was greater, the value shows a decrease. This was owing to poor
markets and low prices received especially for pickerel and tullibee, which con-
stitutes a large part of the total production.
The catch of whitefish in Saskatchewan shows an increase, with an increase
of over $60,000 in value. There was also an increased catch of pickerel.
In Alberta there was a large decrease in the catch and value of pickerel,
an increase in the catch of pike but a drop in value, more than double the catch
of trout, and a slight decrease in the catch of whitefish.
The province of Saskatchewan is the only one of the three Prairie Provinces
to show an increased value. This was due to increased catches of pickerel and
whitefish. In the province of Manitoba there were larger quantities of pickerel
FISHERIES BRANCH 7
and tullibee landed but, owing to lower prices, there was a drop in the marketed
value of each. Fewer whitefish were taken. In the province of Alberta the
total value is less despite the fact that some kinds of fish show large increases
in the catch. Trout shows an increase from 3,907 cwt. to 10,882 cwt. with a
corresponding increase in value, while tullibee also shows an increase in catch
and value. The catch of pike was considerably larger but the value somewhat
less.
The province of British Columbia shows a considerable decrease. A big
drop in the catch of salmon and a smaller catch of halibut were mainly respon-
sible for the decrease. A much larger quantity of herring and pilchards were
taken than in 1926.
ATLANTIC COAST
Cod, Haddock, Hake, and Pollock. — The total quantities of these kinds of
fish landed were 2,612,743 cwt., as compared with 3,429,024 cwt. in 1926. In
each of the kinds of fish, in each of the provinces, with one or two exceptions,
were decreased catches reported. The greatest falling off was in the catch of
cod in Nova Scotia, which dropped from 1,858,944 cwt. in 1926 to 1,331,873
cwt. in 1927. The decrease in the catch of pollock in New Brunswick is quite
noticeable, the figures for the year under review and the previous one being
7,693 cwt. and 38,271 cwt. respectively. Hake shows an increased catch in Nova
Scotia of 27,000 cwt., there being 119,431 cwt. landed. Of the total of these
kinds of fish landed, there were sold fresh and fresh fillets 334,175 cwt., or a
decrease of 105,106 cwt. There were produced smoked and smoked fillets
111,431 cwt., compared with 151,357 cwt. in 1926.
The catch of the Lunenburg fleet was 227,590 quintals, or 115,140 quintals
less. During the gale of August 24 this fleet suffered the loss of four vessels
and their entire crews. The total number of vessels engaged in fishing during
1927 was 83, or 9 fewer than fished in 1926. The prices received for the dried
product, while slightly better than in the previous year, were still quite low.
There were fourteen steam-trawlers operating out of Nova Scotia: seven
from Canso and seven from Halifax. This number was an increase of two.
Mackerel, Herring, and Sardines. — Some 1,270,158 cwt. of these fish were
landed. In the previous year 1,531,399 cwt. were landed, or a decrease of 261,241
cwt. during 1927. In Nova Scotia there were 50,000 cwt. less herrings taken,
while the catch of mackerel was greater by nearly 5,000 cwt. Some 10,000 cwt.
less of herring, only half the quantity of mackerel, and 6,000 Gwt. more sardines
were taken in New Brunswick. The demand for sardines after the American
canners commenced buying was good but the run of sardines somewhat light.
In Prince Edward Island the catch of herring shows a decrease of some 12,000
cwt., but owing to better prices the marketed value was only slightly less. The
catch of mackerel was slightly more. The catch of herring was much lower in
Quebec, while, on the other hand, a large increase of 48,000 cwt. of mackerel
is noted.
Other Sea Fish. — The catch of halibut was greater by over 3,500 cwt. A
decrease of over 5,700 cwt. is noted in the quantity of swordfish taken. The
catch of tomcod was 22,744 cwt. and of flounders 9,383 cwt. This is an increase
in the former and a decrease in the latter.
Shellfish. — The catch of lobsters was 316,831 cwt., which is a decrease of
12,751 cwt. from the 1926 catch and 24,007 cwt. less than the 1925 catch. The

There w^ere 19,462 barrels of oysters taken, which was slightly less than in
1926. Some 43,293 barrels of clams were dug, or an increase of over 1,500
barrels. The quantity of scallops taken shows a large increase, 38,635 barrels
being landed, compared with 23.200 barrels during 1926. None of these shell-
fish were landed in New Brunswick during the year, the quantity landed in
Quebec was only one-third of that landed in 1926, while the landings in Nova
Scotia were just about double.
River Spawning Fish. — The quantity of salmon landed was 49,113 cwt., or
3,682 cwt. less than in the previous year. A decreased catch was recorded for
each of the Atlantic provinces. There was a decrease of 17,962 cwt. in the catch
of smelts, only 72,519 cwt. being landed.
Some 54,115 cwt. of alewives were landed in New Brunswick and Nova
Scotia, or a decrease of over 17,000 cwt. This fishery depends chiefly on the
market for the salted. As the market was bad during the year, little interest
was taken bv the fishermen in this branch of the industrv.
IXL.\ND FISHERIES
The catch of whitefish was 185,664 cwt., compared with 190,644 c^^•t. in
1926. The province of Ontario, where the largest catch of this species is made,
recorded a catch of some 61,658 cvd., or a drop of 2,391 cwt. Manitoba came
second with 49,114 cwt. landed, a drop of 5,008 cwt. Saskatchewan was third
with 41,323 cwt. landed, an increase of 3,656 cwt.
There were 140,019 cwt. of pickerel landed, or an increase of 13,933 cwt.
Of the total, Manitoba contributed 99,813 cwt. which was an increase of
12,562 cwt.
The province of Ontario shows a catch of 31,173 cwt. of blue pickerel, a
slight increase over the catch of the same kind in 1926.
The catch of pike was 70,473 cwt.. which was a decrease of over 2.000
cwt. from tiie previous year. Tiie province of Manitoba contributed some
40,166 cwt. to the total catch.
Some 58.099 cwt. of fresh water hei-ring or ciscoes were taken in the
province of Ontario from the Great Lakes area. This was an increase of over
14,000 cwt. as compared with 1926.
FISHERIES BRANCH
PACIFIC COAST
The marketed value of the fisheries of the Pacific coast shows a decrease
of $4,139,205. This is accounted for by much smaller catches of salmon and
halibut. There were increased catches of herring and pilchards.
Salmon. — The catch of salmon was 1,490,395 cwt., a decrease of 536,160
cwt. The pack was much less, 1,361,977 cases compared with 2,065,190 in
1926. Much of the decrease was due to extension of the close season and other
measures for the protection of the salmon. The catch of sockeye while below
the average was considered fairly satisfactory^ During the fall there was a
large run of late sockeye salmon in the Fraser river similar to that which
occurred in 1926. The catch of pinks shows a big decrease. Owing to intensive
fishing for this species it was deemed necessary to take extra precautions such
as extension of the weekly close season and early closing of the season, etc., to
ensure sufficient numbers reaching the spawning areas. An average catch of
cohoes was made while the catch of chums was somewhat less.
Halibut. — The catch of halibut decreased by 14,563 cwt. to 300,532 cwt. It
does not appear that the close season now in force has materially affected the
catch and it would therefore seem that an extension of close season must be con-
sidered or some alternative if the halibut is not to be depleted.
Herring. — Tlie catch was 1,724,246 cwt., compared with 1,301,269 cwt. in
1926. Of the catch over one million hundredweights of dry salted herring were
produced for sale in the Orient. In the reduction works there were 170,450
gallons of herring oil and 1,838 tons of herring meal produced.
Pilchards. Some 1,368,582 cwt. of these fish were landed, which was nearly
fifty per cent more than in the preceding year. Pilchards are canned to a small
extent, over 58,000 cases being put up which was more than double the pack of
the previous year. The greatest use for these fish, however, is in the manu-
facture of meal and oil of which 2,673,876 gallons of the former and 12,169 tons
of the latter were produced. The number of reduction establishments pro-
ducing meal and oil from pilchards, herring and whales, was twenty-two and
the value of their products (including the products of the whale factories) was
$2,289,952, or nearly double that for 1926.
Whales and Seals.— Two whaling stations were in operation during the
vcar. The number of whales taken was 258 and the value of the products
$241,488. This was a decrease from 1926.
There were 1,476 fur seals taken by Indians under the Pelagic Sealing
Treaty, compared with 2,824 in the preceding year.
INSPECTION OF FISH
Inspection of certain kinds of cured fish was carried on as usual under the
provisions of the Fish Inspection Act. The Act requires packers to have con-
tainers, as well as fish, in accordance with the standards laid down in the regu-
lations, and empowers inspectors to examine such whenever and wherever it is
necessary and convenient.
During the year there were inspected on the Atlantic coast 38,058 packages
of various kinds containing salted herring, mackerel, alewivcs and salmon.
There were also inspected 33,598 boxes of smoked herring. Further, there
were inspected 61,400 empty barrels before they passed into the hands of
the packers.
On the Pacific coast there were inspected 243,732 boxes of dry salted
herring, each containing 400 pounds, before being exported to the Orient.
10 MARINE AND FISHERIES
STANDARDS OF SIZE AND QUALITY FOR SALTED COD, ETC.
In the course of the year the department, after consultation with the trade,
established by law standards of size and quality for dry and salted cod, had-
dock, hake, cusk and pollock.
This was done as a result of representations to the effect that there were
no well defined standards on which sellers and buyers of these fish could base
just and reasonable prices. The same price is usually paid for fish that are not
well cured as for fish that are well cured; consequently fishermen who cure
their own fish have no incentive to improve the quality of their cure.
The standards thus established have been incorporated in the regulations
to the Fish Inspection Act. The department's inspectors of fish curing and
packing have been empowered to carry out such inspections as may be required.
Inspection is not compulsory. The purpose simply is, for the present, to provide
a means of guarding alike the interests of the fisherman and the dealer, when
the former agrees to sell and the latter to buy dry or green salted fish in accord-
ance with the established standards, at a price conditional upon the fish at the
time of delivery being such as the standards require. Both seller and buyer in
that event have an opportunity of requesting the nearest fish inspection oflEicer
to inspect the fish in question and decide as to whether they are up to the
standard agreed upon.
Inspection of Canneries and Canned Fish
The department's officers carried on the inspection of fish canneries of all
kinds, the raw material to be used, the finished product and the labelling and
marking of the cans during the year, as previously.
There were in operation on the Atlantic coast 438 lobster canneries, 15
clam canneries, and 10 other fish canneries, in which were canned sardines,
salmon, haddock, cod, and mackerel.
On the Pacific coast there were operated 77 salmon canneries, in some of
which clams and pilchards were also canned.
Through the efforts of the inspecting officers there is from year to year
more and more attention being given by canners to maintaining sanitary can-
ning places, ensuring a high-class product, and generally complying with the
various requirements of the Meat and Canned Foods Act, and the regulations.
Imperial Economic Committee on Marketing Canadian Fish
The Imperial Economic Committee appointed by the Governments of the
United Kingdom, the Dominions, India, and the Colonies and Protectorates,
and acting under its terms of reference from the last Imperial Conference, has
completed a comprehensive inquiry into the methods of marketing and preparing
for market in Great Britain fish foods produced within the Empire.
Canada was represented on the committee by Mr. J. J. Cowie, of the
Department of Marine and Fisheries, and Mr. G. R. Earl, of Yarmouth, N.S.,
was associated with liim as expert advisor from Nova Scotia.
The following is from the committee's report: —
The committee confined its attention to those sea fisheries the products of which largely
enter into the food of the people of Great Britain. A number of witnesses representing both
producing and marketing interests were examined, while the committee had the advantage
of consultation with experienced officials of the home and overseas Governments and of
eminent scientists.
Great Britain does not depend solely for its fish supplj' on catches by British fisher-
men. There are three sources of supply, —
(1) landings by British fi.shing vessels,
(2) landings from foreign vessels arriving direct from the fishing grounds, and
(3) shipments as cargo from Empire and foreign ports.
FISHERIES BRANCH 11
The landings of herring and mackerel are usually more than equal to the home demand.
On the other hand the British landings of cod, haddock, and such like fish referred to in
the report as whitefish, are not always sufiicient for the British demands.
Since the war the total quantity of whitefish sold per year in Great Britain has increased
by 500,000 cwts. At the same time the British landings have decreased by 750,000 cwts.,
while imports, mostly foreign, have increased by 1,300,000 cwts. The British industry com-
plains of this increased foreign competition.
The report goes on to say that if retail fish prices were in closer harmony
with those of other foodstuffs and were whitefish ample and regular in supply
and excellent in quality the demand would increase enormously. With a 10 per
cent increase in the per capita consumption and a displacement of even one-
half of the foreign imports there would be required British landings much in
excess of any yet attained, while an unsatisfied demand to be met from other
Empire sources would remain.
It is pointed out in the report that the Canadian representatives disclaim
any desire to further embarrass or damage the British industry, but rather, in
so far as it is possible, to supplant foreign importations and to share in the
future growth of the market.
The opinion is fairly general that the North sea is being overfished and
for some year British trawlers have been turning increasingly to more distant
waters, consequently much of the fish that is landed is not in the best condition.
It is the opinion that stability in wholesale prices is the key to reduction
in retail prices and in increased consumption. Under existing conditions, fresh
fish must be marketed immediately after landing; this causes alternate gluts
and shortages. If supplies could be stored even for a few days without deteriora-
tion the trade conditions would be revolutionized.
The Canadian shipper of fresh fish meantime cannot possibly foretell the
price in the British wholesale market. It is useless for him to send large and
irregular supplies and market them quickly in the manner customary in the
British industry — i.e., in ice; the result would be to break the market to the
detriment of himself and the British trade. He, too, needs regularity and
stability, and this can only be attained by sending the best quality suitably
preserved, and marketing them gradually.
The committee by this does not intend to convey the impression that prime
fresh fish boxed in ice and shipped in refrigerated chambers from Canada cannot
be landed in the British markets in good condition, but it does warn the trade
against the hazard involved in that method of shipment.
It is noted that development in sea fishing for whitefish in Great Britain
has taken the form of increased use of the steam trawler, whereas in Canada
fishing by hook and line is most favoured. It is further noted that fish taken
by line is less liable to injury than that taken by steam trawler, and as many of
the line vessels and boats land their fish on the day of catching it is brought to
shore in prime condition.
The committee's conclusions and recommendations, in so far as they con-
cern Canada, may be summarized as follows:- —
1. The demand in Great Britain is chiefly for fresh fish.
2. The consumption of whitefish has increased while that of herring has
decreased.
3. Except for the requirements of a small export trade in salted cod, all the
whitefish landed in Great Britain is consumed there. The demand is expand-
ing, and with lower prices, better average quality, and more regular supplies is
likely to expand furtlier.
4. The increased demand has been met so far by increased foreign imports.
5. British vessels have found it necessary to fish on more distant grounds.
The fish from these grounds is of variable quality when landed, according to
the length of time after capture, as present methods of preservation are ineffi-
cient.
12 MARIXE AND FISHERIES
6. Better methods of preservation are required for fish, both before and
after landing, to avoid wide fluctuations in price due to gluts or scarcity.
7". The present excessive fiuctuations in price greatly increase the commer-
cial risks of shipping fresh fish in ice from Canada and tend to discourage that
branch of interimperial trade.
8. Believing that the prime essential for all improvement of organization
lies in the study and application of better methods of preservation at an
economic cost, the committee's principal recommendation is that research be
instituted for the purpose of improvmg methods of preserving fish from the
time it has been caught until it reaches the consumer.
9. This research should be based on a central station at a fishing port in
Great Britain and a station in the Maritime Provinces of Canada.
10. The Governments of Great Britain and Canada should encourage co-
operation and co-relation between the two stations in order to cheapen costs
and secure more rapid results.
The report notes that the Canadian Government, recognizing that the
development of an export trade in fish in prime condition depends on a satis-
factory solution of the problem of preservation, has already established such a
station at Halifax, Nova Scotia, where the methods of brine freezing fish are
being tested and demonstrated. Some work of this nature has also been done
in Great Britain at the Low Temperature Research Institute at Cambridge,
but that institute suffers from, the disadvantage of having an inland location.
11. Recent discoveries have drawn attention to the special value of cod
liver oil as a source of vitamines, not only for medicinal purposes but for
strengthening other foods deficient in this substance, and investigation is
recommended into the causes of variation in the vitamine content of the oil
and the methods of refining it so that the full vitamine content may be retained
and the market objections to taste and odour eliminated.
12. It is necessary for the economic development of the industry to exploit
to the fullest extent the by-products. Whitefish meal has special value for
feeding animals and poultiy. While there is a large market in Germany for
fish meal, certain of the meat trades in Great Britain have opposed its use on
the ground of its inducing taint. Repeated experiments at research stations,
however, have demonstrated that there is no risk of taint, if the meal is used
in the proportions and in the methods advocated by the English Ministry of
Agriculture and Fisheries. The opening of an extended use of fish meal in
Great Britain is very great and its clevelopmcnt would benefit both the live stock
industry and the fishing industry.
The committee believes a greater development of a trade from the fishing
ports in fillets instead of whole fish is the line clearly indicated by economy,
which would result in a greater beneficial use of by-products.
With respect to salted and dried fish, the report states there is a market
for cured or salted cod in the British West African Colonies which, if studied
and suited, will probably increase. It is mainly supplied by Norway meantime.
With respect to canned salmon, the committee states that in its report on
meat issued two years ago, it pointed out that the compulsory marking of the
country of origin on the cans would enable the British consumer to select
Empire canned salmon in preference to foreign goods. As a result the British
Merchandise Marks Act was amended in 1926 to give effect to this, and it is
understood that the British Columbia producers are for the present watching
its operation and the matter is left there, except to say that a high standard of
qualitv must be maintained.
Besides taking part in the formal inciuirics of the committee and assisting
in drafting the report, tiie Canadian representatives made extended informal
personal investigations amongst the trade in Great Britain and a report, of their
findings will shortly be made public.

Fisheries Intelligence Service
Under this service there was carried on during the season of 1927:—
1. The collection of monthly statistics of the sea fisheries, and the com-
pilation of such in a summarized form for publication through the press each
month.
2. The publication of quarterly bulletin containing the statistics in detail.
The bulletin is distributed to the trade and all directly concerned. The statistics
are practically all collected by the regular fishery officers while performing
th.eir other duties as such and at very little additional cost.
3. The collection of information concerning supplies of bait day by day
along certain stretches of the coast during the spring and summer months. The
information is gathered by the officers of the department, who send it by tele-
gram daily to certain ports where it is posted up for information of masters of
fishing vessels and those looking for bait.
Fishing Bounty
Under the authority of "An Act to Encourage the Develoi)ment of the Sea
Fisheries and the Building of Fishing Vessels," the sum of $160,000 is appro-
priated annually by the Governor in Council. It is distributed under the name
of fishing bounty, by the Department of Marine and Fisheries amongst fisher-
men, and fishing vessel and boat owners on the Atlantic coast under regulations
made from time to time by the Governor in Council.
For the year 1927, payment was made on the following basis: —
To owners of vessels entitled to receive bounty, $1 per registered ton, pay-
ment to the owner of any one vessel not to exceed $80.
To vessel fishermen entitled to receive bounty, $8 each.
To owners of boats measuring not less than 12 feet keel, $1 per boat.
To boat fishermen entitled to receive bounty, $6.60 each.
There were 9,609 bounty claims paid. In the preceding year there were
11,036 boimtv claims paid.
The total amount paid was $158,375.80 allocated as follows: —
To 543 vessels and their crew $ 44.482 50
To 9,066 boats and their crew .fllS.giS 30

Fish Culture
The more important fresh-water and anadromous food and game fishes,
such as Atlantic salmon and speckled trout in the Maritime Provinces, whitefish
and pickerel in the Prairie Provinces, and Pacific salmon and trout in British
Columbia, were given first consideration in the fish cultural operations of the
department during the calendar year 1927, but in response to a constantly
increasing public demand greater attention was paid to game fish, and the dis-
tribution of game trout was slightly better than ever before.
Some progress was made in the development of a brood stock of trout at
the St. John hatchery, New Brunswick, where nearly two and three-quarter
million trout eggs were produced during the year. Increased facilities for
retaining and feeding fry, so as to afford a longer season for distribution, were
provided at several establishments where such de^5elopment was feasible, as
the demand for assistance from areas that are beginning to feel the need of
restocking is becoming more and more insistent.
The total distribution was considerably less during 1927 than it was dur-
ing the previous year, due to the fact that eight hatcheries in Ontario were trans-
ferred to the provincial Department of Game and Fisheries in 1926, after the
fry produced therein were disposed of, and were not operated by this department
in 1927. The distribution from these eight hatcheries in 1926 was approximately
four hundred and fifty-four million five hundred thousand, and, omitting the
distribution from these establishments, the total output in 1927 was over twenty-
seven million greater than in 1926.
In addition to the distributions that were made from the hatcheries, thirty-
four lakes and streams received allotments of fry or older fish from other bodies
of water. This work was largely confined to the Prairie Provinces, where
there are many districts that are not readily accessible to existing hatcheries.
FISHERIES BRANCH
15
It involved the captm^e and transfer, in many instances for a considerable dis-
tance, of thirty-four thousand nine hundred and twenty-six fish comprising
seven different species.
The seeding of remote and isolated waters (to which it is not feasible to
transfer fry from existing hatcheries) was continued in British Columbia, and
nine million seven hundred and forty-six thousand sockeye salmon eggs, col-
lected in the Pemberton district below Hell's Gate on the Fraser and in the
Babine district in the Skeena watershed, were planted in the one-time spawning
beds of such important areas as Stuart, Francois, and Quesnel lakes in the Upper
Fraser, above Hell's Gate.
Examinations and inspections were continued in the different provinces,
with a view to locating waters where trout might be obtained for hatchery pur-
poses, and with a view to locating sites where the fish cultural service mJght be
advantageously extended by the construction of new establishments in districts
that are difficult to cover from existing hatcheries.
As opportunity offered, the general inspection of waters throughout the
comitry was continued by the officers and employees of the fish cultural and
fishery services.
The Canadian National Railway, Canadian Pacific Railway, Dominion
Atlantic Railway, Fredericton and Grand Lake Coal and Railway Company
and New Brunswick Coal and Railway, Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway,

The department participated with assortments of hatchery products and
equipment in several exhibits for portraying natural resources. These exhibits
were of considerable educational value and attracted great interest.
Gratifying reports regarding the results that are apparent from the distri-
bution of hatchery products continued to come in from all districts where fish
cultural operations are carried on in a systematic way.
Considerable expansion was made in the Fish Cultural Service in the prov-
inces in which the fisheries are administered by the Dominion Government.
Sites were selected for salmon and trout hatcheries in Antigonish and Yarmouth
counties, N.S.; the pond facilities for fry and brood fish were largely extended
at the St. John hatchery and a new salmon and trout hatchery was built on
White Marsh Creek one mile from Florenceville, N.B.; a contract was awarded
for a whitefish hatchery on Lesser Slave Lake, for a trout hatchery in the
Waterton Lakes Park, Alberta, and a subsidiary hatchery was established in

MARINE AND FISHERIES
the Jasper National Park, Alberta; the Nelson hatchery was moved to larger
and better quarters in the basement of the Armory and a sub-hatchery was
established at Summerland, B.C. Detailed description appears in the Report
of the Fisheries Engineer.
At the close of 1927 there were in active operation, apart from the
new establishments aibove mentioned, twenty-four main hatcheries, seven sub-
sidiary hatcheries, four salmon retaining ponds, and several egg-collecting sta-
tions. The output from these establishments for the calendar year 1927 was
two hundred and ninety-five million two hundred and eighty-three thousand
seven hundred and eighty-two, as shown by species in the following state-

North American Committee on Fishery Investigations
Two meetings of the North American Committee on Fishery Investigations
have been held during the past year, one at Toronto, Ont., on October 19, 1927,
and one at Boston, Mass., on June 2, 1928.
The haddock fishery was given particular attention. Study of the
total catch made on this side of the Atlantic reveals that there has been on
the whole little change since as far back as the eighties of the last century^
though a slow increase since nineteen hundred is evident. This increase has
been in the New England fishery. Where formerly haddock were pickled and
dried, now they are sold fresh and smoked, as finnan baddies and fillets. The
New England fisherv' has benefited by this change, while in Canada the develop-
ment of the fresh and smoked haddock trade has scarcely made up for the pass-
ing away of the trade in pickled and dried fish. There is no indication that
the stock of haddock as a whole is in danger of exhaustion, but rather that
increased catches could readily be made. However, the southern banks, where
the New England fishery is intensively prosecuted, are, or soon will be, over-
fished. The committee is urging prompt action in investigating this fishery
thoroughly, so that measures for conservation may be devised and adopted
before serious depletion occurs.
The co-operative study of the mackerel, which has been in progress for
several years past, has revealed the fact that breeding is particularly successful
in certain years. 1921 and 1923 were such years and have furnished the bulk
of the mackerel recently in American waters. Three important spawning
grounds have been found, in which the floating eggs and iry abound during the
summer season, (1) the southern shallow part of the gulf of St. Lawrence, (2)
the southern part of the gulf of Maine off the Massachusetts coast, and (3) the
coastal waters off New York and New Jersey. The migrations of the mackerel,
a most fertile field for argument, are being studied by fastening tags to the fish.
An entirely satisfactory tag has not yet been devised, but celluloid bands on
the tails have been used extensively. These have shown that the mackerel that
strike the coast near cape Cod in the spring, remain on the New England coast
rather than pass northeastward to Nova Scotia. Those that strike near cape
Sable, N.S., in late spring spread both eastward and westward along the coast,
68927—2
18 MARINE AND FISHERIES
some remaining in the vicinity, some going north into the bay of Fundy, or
westward to the New England coast, and others going eastward as far as Cape
Breton. These migrations are accomplished by some of the fish at a rate of
about twenty-five miles per day. Mackerel that come to the coast near Canso,
at the eastern end of Nova Scotia, in part migrate around Cape Breton into the
gulf of St. Lawrence to the coast of Prince Edward island, but none go westward.
The evidence indicates that a series of schools strikes the various parts of the
coast, and that these remain fairly distinct, but not completely so. Mixmg
of the schools is somewhat greater during the winter, as recaptures of the fish
in subsequent vears show greater spreading up and down the coast.
Mr. Sette," under the Sub-Committee on Statistics, prepared a report on
the cod fisheries of the American side of the North Atlantic, in which five
countries. Newfoundland, France, Canada, United States, and Portugal, have
participated. This report brings together the available statistics on this fishery
so as to show its size, trend, and the relative importance of the fisheries of each
participating count^^ The report, entitled "Statistics of the Catch of Cod Off
the East Coast of North America to 1926," has been published.
The study of the fisheries statistics of the various countries has revealed
the need for having the weights of the fish uniformly taken on the basis of a
particular condition of the fish, for example either ''round" or "gutted". Steps
are being taken toward this end.
Internationai. Fisheries Commission
This commission was appointed under the provisions of the Treaty for
the Protection of the Pacific Halibut between Canada and the United States,
and is charged with making a thorough investigation into the life history of the
Pacific halibut, as well as recommendations to the two Governments as to the
regulation of the fishery which may seem desirable for its preservation and
development. One of the provisions of the Treaty provides for an annual close
season of three months — November 16 in each year to February 15 following,
both days inclusive — but upon the recommendation of the commission this
close season may be modified or suspended at any time after three such seasons.
As the treaty became effective on November i, 1924, the third close season
expired in February^ of this fiscal year, and as anticipated in my report of last
year the commission, immediately following the termination of that close season
proceeded to prepare its first report. The following extract from the report
shows the extent and condition of the fishery, and the recommendations of the
commission: —
Fisheries for halibut are prosecuted in the North Pacific and the North Atlantic oceans,
and yield about ninety millions of pounds annually. The Pacific halibut fisherj', which is
covered by the terms of this convention, is the greatest in the world. The annual catch
exceeds fiftj^ millions of pounds, which represents about sixty per cent of the world's catch.
Of the remainder about thirty millions are credited to European countries and six millions
to the Atlantic coast of this continent. The value of the Pacific halibut catch to the fisher-
men is about seven million dollars annually, and it is consequently one of the most import-
ant fisheries in North American waters. The Pacific halibut is, therefore, one of the most
important species of food fishes indigenous to the waters of the North American continent.
The halibut fishery banks of the eastern Pacific are shown in plates Nos. 1-3. The division
into areas shown thereon is for statistical purposes and should not be confused with those
referred to in the commission's recommendations, which will be submitted later on.
The Pacific halibut fishery originated soon after the first railway communication was
established between the two coasts of the United States. It is, therefore, comparatively
young. It had its inception in 18S8 near cape Flattery, at the entrance to Juan de Fuca
strait. The fishery expanded rapidly and by 1910 it had extended to grounds off cape
Ommaney, Baranof island, six hundred miles to the north. Subsequent expansion has
extended the fishery until it now covers about 1.800 miles of coast. Formerly as many fish
were taken from the 600 miles stretch as are now procured from the entire area of 1,800
miles. The banks on the eastern side of the gulf of Ala.ska, which yield spawning fish, were
FISHERIES BRANCH 19
finst exploited in 1913. In 1926 the larger boats made by far tlie greater part of their
catches in the vicinity of Kodiak island, on the western, side of the gulf of Alaska, about
1,200 miles beyond tKe original fishery. The catch on the older grounds south of cape
Ommaney has decreased from a total in excess of fifty million pounds in 1910 to about
twenty-one millions in 1926, and much greater effort was exerted in making the catch in
the latter j-ear. It is evident that the present level of production has been maintained by
extending fishing operations to new areas, as the catch on the older grounds decreased, and
by increasing the intensity of the fishing effort.
The amount of gear now used on the older banks is about two and one-half times the
quantity formerly used, yet the present catch is onh^ about forty per cent of the former
yield from these grounds. Under the stress of this great intensification of fishing effort the
abundance of fish on the older banks has fallen enormously, to sixteen per cent of the
abundance in 1906. Where in 1906 the catch per set of a unit of fishing year was nearly
300 pounds, in 1926 it was below 50 pounds. Expressed in another way it required six units
of gear to catch as many fish as one unit caught in 1906. The decline has gone on at an
even rate and shows no tendency to slacken. Accompanying this fall in abundance there
has been a decrease in the average size of the fish landed, and a great increase in the per-
centage of undersized fish. For example between 1919 and 1926 the percentage of under-
sized fish from the older banks increased from twenty to thirty per cent.
The more recently exploited banks to the westward .show the same trend, the catch
having fallen from 160 pounds per unit of gear in 1923 to 100 pounds in 1926, and was still
lower in 1927, while at the same time there was an increase in the number of fish under
eleven and three-quarter pounds.
The rapidity of the decline is regarded as especiall}^ serious because of the very slow
rate of the growth of the halibut, an adult being from twelve to twenty-five years, or over,
in age. Hence the present decline has taken place within the life span of one halibut of
ordinarily large size. As nearly all the fish which are being caught now were spawned eight
or ten years ago, the abundance of the younger fish, which will annually be available for
capture in the next ten years, has already been established. If these are greatly reduced in
numbers, and the intensitj^ of the fishery is maintained, the outlook for a future stock of
spawning fish sufficient to maintain the supply, presents a hopeless picture. In fact the
commission's investigations indicate that relatively few mature halibut are now found on
the older banks.
These illustrations demonstrate beyond a doubt that the fisher^y is in a very serious
condition, and that the banks cannot stand the intensity of fishing to which they are sub-
jected. The commission is fully convinced that the conditions are so serious that no delay
should be permitted in the adoption of additional conservation measures. In the light of
the investigations made, such action is essential to the maintenance of the fishery.
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is recommended that power be given proper governmental authorities: —
1. (a) To establish areas, within each of which, if deemed necessary for the preserva-
tion of the fishery there, the total catch of halibut may be reduced by a predetermined per-
centage annually, commencing not less than one year after the putting into force of thia
recommendation, until the fishery therein shall reach a state of stability of yield.
ib) To determine upon the amount of this percentage reduction, and to revise the same
from time to time as may be found necessary', the intent being to restrain any increase in
the amount of fishing within such area.
2. To clo.se permanently to all fishing the two areas herewith defined, and known to be
populated by .small immature halibut, and to close such other grounds as may be foimd by
the commission to be populated bj' a similar class of fish.
3. To prevent the use of any fishing gear deemed unduly destructive.
4. To extend the present closed season by two weeks at its beginning, making the closure
for all fishing in all areas from November 1 to February 15, both dates inclusive, and to
facilitate future alterations in the length of close season.
5. To license all vessels fishing for halibut in treaty waters, under such terms as are
necessary for the purpose of the treaty, including statistical retvirns, and for clearance to
regulated waters.
The reasons for the above recommendations are clearly set out by the
commissioners. The report has been printed and those interested may obtain
copies thereof on application to the department.
The recommendations of the commission are under the consideration of
the two Governments.

Marine Biological Board
All four stations of the Board were in operation during the year. These
are located at St. Andrews, N.B., Halifax, N.S., Nanaimo, B.C., and Prince
Rupert, B.C.
At St. Andrews and Nanaimo fundamental researches such as life-history,
growth and food of fishes, etc., and at Halifax and Prince Rupert investigations
connected with the methods of handling and preserving the products of the com-
mercial fisheries are carried on.
In the com'se of the year the staff of the board on the Atlantic coast con-
ducted short scientific and practical courses of instruction for hatchery officers,
cannery managers and fishermen, all of which were benficial and much appre-
ciated.
During the year an arrangement was come to by the Department, the
board, and Dalhousie University of Halifax, N.S., whereby wdth the assistance
of the department and the board the university has undertaken to establish a
graduate course in fisheries. It is anticipated that the first stages of the course
V7\\\ be started in the coming university year.

Scallop and Oyster Investigations
The following investigations were carried on by the department's naturalist
during the season of 1927: —
Scallop investigations in Mahone Bay, N.S.'
Exploratory work on the coast of three Maritime Provinces in search of
scallop beds.
Examination of oyster beds in New Brunswick.
Details of these investigations will be found in appendix No. 3.
The loss of life of those engaged in the industry was very heavy, no less than
four vessels and their entire crews being lost in one storm on the Atlantic coast.
The total loss of life was one hundred and eleven, three of whom were drowned

APPENDIX NO. 1
REPORTS OF INSPECTORS OF FISHERIES
REPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR WARD FISHER, PROVINCE OF
NOVA SCOTIA, FOR 1927-28
The value of the fisheries for this province for the year 1927 was
$10,783,631. While this does not compare altogether favourably with the pre-
vious year, it must be remembered that 1926 was a banner year with a total
value amounting to $12,505,922. This latter value has not been exceeded since
the years closely following the end of the war. In order to arrive at a better
valuation other than 1926 we must go back to the year 1920, when prices were
inflated and the total value amounted to $12,742,659.
The value of the fisheries to the province of Nova Scotia for the past five
3'^ears has been as follows: —
1923 $ 8,448,385
1924 8,777.251
1925 10,213,779
1926 12,505,922
1927 '. ' ' ' ' '. . ! 10,783,631
Weather conditions throughout the greater part of the year were unfavour-
able for fishing. Rough, boisterous, and foggy weather prevailed.
The fresh fish industry was in an unsatisfactory condition at the opening
of the year. The unusually mild weather of November and December, 1926,
resulted in large catches which the dealers were unable to dispose of, and as a
consequence there was, at first, little demand for the catches of the shore fisher-
men at a price that would give a living wage. It is gratifying, however, to report
that the fresh fish trade is continually expanding, and that there is an increased
demand particularly for finnan baddies and fillets.
The catch of the chief commercial varieties shows a decrease in most
instances as compared with the year before, with the exception of the mackerel,
halibut, and scallop fisheries.
COD
The catch was 1,331.873 Qwt., with a landed value of $2,433,699 and a
marketed value of $3,455,722, as compared with a catch of 1,858.944 cwt.,
having a landed value of $3,634,923 and a marketed value of $4,652,858 for 1926.
The decrease in the catch as compared with the preceding year was 527,071
cwt., the landed value $1,201,224, and the marketed value a decrease of
$1,197,086.
The Lunenburg fleet was a vital factor in the decrease shown in the cod
fishery. In this connection it must be recalled that four of the Lunenburg
vessels were lost in the gale of August 24 along with their crews of more than
eighty men. The shore fishermen were also handicapped by unfavourable
weather.
THE LOBSTER FISHERY
The total lobster catch for 1927 was 179,673 cwt., having a marketed value
of $3,255,627, as compared with 184,316 cwt. and $3,386,416 for 1926.

The marketing of the pack was not profitable. Prices were low and demand
poor. Japanese crab meat was offered, especially in the European market at
a very attractive price which greatly interfered with the success of the lobster
packers.
HADDOCK
The landings of haddock amounted to 384,207 cwts., as compared with the
previous year when 458,292 cwts., were taken. The landed value for the year
was $660,669 and the marketed value $1,402,135, as compared with a landed
value of $838,716 and a marketed value of $1,671,971 for 1926. The decrease
in the landed value was $178,047 and the marketed value $269,836.
THE MACKEREL FISHERY
The mackerel fishery shows an increase in the catch, landed value and
marketed value. During the year 72,306 cwts. were landed, as against 67,580
cwts. in 1926. The landed value was $236,796 and the marketed value $338,851,
as compared with a landed value of $173,049 and a marketed value of $285,961
for the previous year. The increase in the marketed value registers $52,890.
HERRING
The landings of herring were less than in 1926 when the catch was 264,823
cwts., as compared with a catch of 214,560 cwts. this year. Naturally the
values also fell off. The marketed value this year was $482,458, as compared
with $547,548 last year, a decrease of $65,090.
24 MARINE AND FISHERIES
HALIBUT
The halibut fishery shows an increase in landings and values. This year
the catch was 27,551 cwts., as against 23,725 cwts. in 1926. The increase in the
landed value was $46,771 and the marketed value $86,959. ]\Iost of the months
record this fishery as showing gains over the previous year.
SALMON
The salmon catch was 12,819 cwts.. having a marketed value of $233,189,
as compared with 13,428 cwts. and $253,272 in 1926.
SCALLOPS
The scallop fishery especially in the Bay of Fundy district continues to
expand and show a healthy growth. The outlook for this fishery is bright
indeed. Many more new boats were engaged in this fishery this year than in
any previous year, and it is confident^ expected that the output will steadily
increase from year to year. This industry is only in its infancy in so far as
Yarmouth, Digby and Annapolis counties are concerned, and the progress that
has already been made is really remarkable. This year 37,607 barrels were
landed, as compared with 19,918 barrels last year. The marketed value was
$212,838, as against $138,472 for 1926, an increase of $74,366.
SMELT
The decrease in the smelt catch is largely attributed to the mild weather
which prevailed during the early part of the smelt fishing season, 7,110 cwts.
were taken while the catch last year was 10,981 cwts. The marketed value of
the fishery naturally suffered, amounting to $124,653 this year, as compared
with a value of $165,630 last year.
The following reports by districts will be of interest, showing the local con-
ditions with respect to catches and values: —
District Xo. 1, Cape Bretox. — Inspector McLeod
The outstanding features of the year, compared with 1926, are decreases
in the quantities and values of cod, haddock, swordfish, lobsters, smelts, pollock
and alewives, and increases in the quantities and values of mackerel, halibut,
salmon, hake and cusk.
Lobsters. — The catch of lobsters was 42,524 cwts., marketed value $565,-
442, as compared with 42,874 cwts., marketed value $660,006 for 1926.
The decrease in the catch is due to unfavourable weather conditions and
drift ice which prevented operations at the opening of the season. These fish
were very plentiful in the waters surrounding Isle Madame, where an increase
of 2,017 cwts. is noted as compared with 1926. On account of the low prices
offered for cod, haddock and mackerel, the fishermen of this district prosecuted
the lobster fishing with the utmost vigour.
The largest catches were landed at Mainadieu, Petit de Grat and Port
Hood Island.
Cod.— The catch was 139,096 cwts., having a marketed value of $290,882,
as compared with 136,505 cwts. and $394,870 for 1926.
A large increase in the catch is noted at the ports of North Sydney, Ingon-
ish and Neil's harbour, where this branch of the industry was prosecuted
intensely during the fall months when good prices prevailed.
Haddock. — ^The total catch was 68,344 cwts., having a marketed value of
$132,485, as compared with 76,428 cwts., and $250,569 for 1926.
FISHERIES BRANCH 25
Decreases of 8,084 cwts. in the catch, and $118,084 in marketed value are
noted. The large falling off in the catch is due to the following reasons: (a)
Rather than fish for the low prices offered the fishermen turned their attention
to other kinds of work which they found more remunerative, (b) Only one
trawler operating, as compared with four during 1926. (c) These fish were not
as plentiful as in the previous year, and it is supposed that they passed by
before the trap-nets were set in the spring.
The largest catches were landed at Ingonish, Hawkesbury and Petit de
Grat.
Mackerel. — The catch was 29,832 cwts., having a marketed value of $122,-
425, as compared with 20,473 cwts., valued at $84,623 for the preceding year,
showing an increase of 9,359 cwts. in catch and $37,802 in marketed value.
The largest landings were at L'Ardoise, Cheticamp and Louisburg.
These fish were very plentiful during the spring at Ingonish, Neil's har-
bour and Isle Madame; but on account of the low prices offered, the fishermen
only operated in a half-hearted manner. Fine catches were landed at Mar-
garee and cape Rouge during the fall. For some unaccountable reason the fall
run of mackerel do not appear in the waters surrounding Port Hood island,
where they used to strike in very plentifully eight or ten years ago.
Halibut. — The catch was 4,772 cwts., having a marketed value of $92,194,
as compared with 3,775 cwts., and $54,102 for the previous year, showing an
increase of 997 cwts. in the catch and $38,092 in marketed value.
The increase in the catch is due to more bankers landing at North Sydney,
as well as an increase in the catch for Ingonish, owing to more fishemien having
engaged in this branch of the industry.
The largest landings were at North Sydney, Port Morien and Ingonish.
Salmon (Commercial). — The total landed catch w^as 4,897 cwt., having a
marketed value of $78,436, as compared with 4,648 cwt., valued at $76,720, for
the preceding year, showing an increase of 249 cwt., in the catch and $1,716 in
marketed value.
These fish were unusually plentiful in the Mira river, and increases in the
catch are noted in Grand river also. Salmon were fairly plentiful at Port Hood^
Margaree, Cheticamp and bay St. Lawrence.
Salmon (Sport). — The number of anglers visiting the Margaree river is
increasing from year to year. It is most gratifying to report an increase of
379 salmon landed with the fly in the Margaree river, as compared with the
previous year. Also, that these fish were of a larger size; one fish landed at
Big Intervale, North East Margaree, weighed 52^ pounds. Fly fishing in the
Margaree river was most satisfactory, except during a period from the middle
of July to the middle of August when the water was very low, warm and clear.
After the gale that occurred on the 24th of August, salmon ascended the
Margaree river in enormous numbers, and most satisfactory catches were
landed.
In the history of the Margaree the catch with the fly was eclipsed only in
the banner season of 1922, when 868 fish were landed.
SiDordfish. — The total catch was 5,376 cwt., valued at $86,534, as compared
with 6,594 cwt., valued at $114,112 for the preceding year, showing a decrease
of 1,218 cwt, in catch, and $27,578 in marketed value.
The decrease is due to scarcity and unfavourable weather conditions, as
these fish will only remain on the surface during bright and calm weather.
Increases arc noted at the ports of North Sydney and Ingonish, where more
fishermen were engaged in this branch of the industry. Largest landings were
at Louisburg, Glace Bay, and North Sydney,
26 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Herring. — The catch was 26,604 cwt., having a marketed value of $43,191
as against 35,641 cwt., having a value of S83,005 showing a decrease of 9,037
cwt. in the catch, and a decrease of $39,814 in marketed value.
The increase in the catch is due to the spring herring being exceptionally-
plentiful at isle Madame, North Sydney and St. Ann's, and the decrease in the
values is caused by a great falling off in the catch of the July run, as compared
with the previous year.
Smelts. — The catch of smelts was 1,727 cwt., having a marketed value of
$26,427 as compared with 2,687 cvrt. having a value of $34,958 for the preceding
year, showing a decrease of 960 cwt., in the catch, and $8,531 in marketed value.
The great falling off in the catch is due to scarcity, and mild weather pre-
vailing at the opening of the season.
Oysters. — The catch was 1,224 barrels, valued at $10,347, as compared
with 1,280 barrels, valued at $9,502, for the preceding year, showing a decrease
in the catch of 56 barrels and an increase of $845 in the marketed value.
The largest catches were landed at Orangedale, River Dennys, and Little
Narrows.
Trout. — Compared with the preceding year trout were far more plentiful,
and as usual, excellent catches were taken at Lake Ainslie, River Dennys,
Barachois and Indian Brook, St. Ann's. A trout landed with the fly at the
outlet of Barachois river, St. Ann's, weighed 6 pounds 4 ounces. Many trout
weighing over 5 pounds were landed in several of the streams of this island.
DISTRICT NO. 2. — COMPRISING THE COUNTIES OF HALIFAX, GUYSBORO, PICTOU,
COLCHESTER, CUMBERLAND AND HANTS — INSPECTOR SUTHERLAND
The catch as well as the landed and marketed values show marked decreases
compared with 1926, but the values compare favourably with those of 1925,
although the catch is the lowest since 1923. This is due to smaller landings of
all the principal varieties, excepting lobsters, hake, soles, mackerel and albacore.
Cod and haddock show heavy decreases of 145,805 cwt. and 56,724 cwt., respect-
ively, due chiefly to smaller landings at Canso and Halifax by steam trawlers.
Only one trawler operated the full year at Canso, and fish were not found to
be plentiful offshore. Another important reason for the smaller catch during
the summer and autumn months was the unusually rou<2;h weather which greatly
hampered the inshore operations. The only important increases are those of
lobsters 2,529 cwi;., soles 2,902 cwt., and albacore 686 cwt.
Cod.— The total catch was 212,876 cwt., with a marketed value of $896,947
as compared with 360,681 cwi:., with a marketed value of $1,269,989 for 1926,
showing a decrease of 147,805 cwt. in the catch, and $373,042 in the marketed
value.
Decreased catches were general throughout but are more pronounced at
Halifax and Canso. A succession of gales during the summer and early autumn
greatly hampered inshore operations and the fishermen were disheartened by
unusually low prices. These opened at 1 cent per pound ^s-itli only large fish
wanted. " However, as the season advanced, prices improved until 2-| cents to
3 cents were offered at the last of the season.
Of the total catch, 100,865 cwt. were taken offshore as compared with
227,698 cwt., taken offshore in 1926.
Haddock. — The catch was 191,934 cwt.. having a marketed A-ahic of
.S884.238, as compared with 249,719 cwt., liaving a market vahic of $1,007,035
for 1926, showing a decrease of 57,785 cwt., with a corresponding decrease in
the marketed value of $122,797.
FISHERIES BRANCH 27
Guysboro county east is mostly responsible for the decrease, where only
53,619 cwi). were taken as compared with 1926 — 94,515 cwt. This is on account
of only one trawler being operated in the summer and early autumn months.
No haddock are taken by shore boats until November.
Of the total catch, 173,363 cwt. were taken offshore, as compared with
214,421 cwt. in the previous year. Prices to fishermen were about the same as
for cod.
Pollock. — The catch was 8,180 cwt., having a marketed value of $12,694,
as compared with 19,401 cwt., having a marketed value of $36,997, showing a
decrease of 11,221 cwt. in the catch and $24,303 in the" marketed value.
The decline was most serious in Halifax county west and Guysboro county
east, which is general for all line fish excepting hake during 1927.
Of the total catch, 5,399 cwt. were taken offshore, whilst 14,850 cwt. were
taken offshore in 1926.
Prices to the fishermen were about 1 cent per pound, although for a period
in the summer only 50 cents per cwi). was offered.
Hake. — The catch was 5,391 cwt., having a marketed value of $12,955, as
compared with 3,623 cwt., having a marketed value of $8,535 for 1926, an
increase of 1,768 cwt. and $4,420 in marketed value.
The increase is due to increased catches in Antigonish county, Halifax
west, and Guysboro east.
Offshore catch was 342 cwt. Prices landed, 75 cents per cwt. Market
prices: dried $4, green salted $3, and smoked fillets 10 cents.
Halibut. — The catch was 7,240 cwt., having a marketed value' of $146,871,
compared with 8,039 cwt., having a marketed value of $164,462, a decrease in
catch of 799 cwt. and value of $17,591.
Smaller catches in Halifax west and Guysboro east account for the decrease.
The offshore catch was 5,754 cwt., compared with 6,391 cwt. for 1926.
Herring. — The catch was 54,609 cwt., having a marketed value of $146,784,
compared with 68,984 cwt., having a marketed value of $136,298, a decrease of
14,375 cwt. in the catch and an increase of $10,486 in marketed value.
The catch of spring herring in Cumberland county north was a failure.
Antigonish and Guysboro counties also show heavy declines, while in Halifax
county west the catch increased 9,000 cwt.
Mackerel. — The catch was 34,003 cwt., having a marketed value of $160,908,
compared with 34,334 cwt., having a marketed value of $149,231.
While the catch shows a decrease of 331 cwt., the marketed value shows
an increase of $11,677. This is due to better prices offered to the fishermen
during the late run of mackerel in October and November.
Increased catches were taken in Guysboro County, while Halifax county
is responsible for the decrease. During November fairly good catches were
taken in Chedabucto bay and Halifax county west. Prices then were good and
the fishermen did well. The fall run was unusually late; in fact, in Queensport
Harbour all the nets were ashore and one fisherman who had been unable to
take his nets ashore on account of sickness found a good catch when he was
able to tend his gear, and the other fishermen soon had their nets out again.
Prices landed: May, 4 cents ; June, 3 cents; July, 3 cents; August, 3 cents;
September, 4 cents; October, 5 cents; and November, 6 cents per pound.
Salmon. — The catch was 5,886 cwt., having a marketed value of $113,971,
compared with 7,610 cwt., having a marketed value of $149,6£5, a decrease in
the catch of 1,724 cwt. and marketed value $35,724.
28 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Halifax county west alone shows a decrease of 1,968 cwt., Guysboro county
shows a considerable increase, while in Antigonish the increase was 1,000 cwt.,
and in Pictou county 200 cwt. This fishery is in a flourishing condition in these
two counties, the marketed value for 1927 being about $65,000.
Flounders, Skate, and SoZes.— Flounders and skate decreased 4,511 cvd. and
7,722 cwt., while soles increased 7,264 cwt. These fish are almost entirely pro-
duced offshore by steam trawlers.
Catfish and Monk fish. —1,972 cwt. less catfish were taken, and no monk-
fish for 1927, while 180 c^-t. were landed last year. The entire catch of these
varieties is produced offshore.
Albacore. — The catch was 1,575 cwt., with a marketed value of $15,750,
compared with 889 cwt., having a marketed value of $8,890 for 1926.
These fish were fairly plentiful during July in St. Margaret's bay, where
the entire catch was taken.
Sword fish.— The catch was 1,715 cwt., vnth a marketed value of $30,795,
as compared with 6,176 cwt., with a marketed value of $90,694 for 1926, show-
ing a decrease in catch of 4,461 cwt. and marketed value $59,899.
Guysboro county is responsible for the decrease, particularly the eastern
part, where the decline was 2,176 cwt. Prices for ground fish were low during
the swordfish run, and fishermen generally lost a lot of time and went to great
expense in endeavouring to capture swordfish. It is usually the case that fisher-
men give up regular fishing when swordfish are on, and unless the fish are
plentiful their efforts usually result in a loss.
DISTRICT XO. 3. — COMPRISING THE COUNTIES OF LUNENBURG, QU^EENS, SHELBURNE,
YARMOUTH, DIGBY, ANNAPOLIS, AND KINGS INSPECTOR MARSHALL
Cod. — The greatest fall-off was in connection with the catch and value of
the Lunenburg cod fishing fleet. This of course would have a tendency to
decrease the quantity and the total value of the catch.
Haddock. — The catch and value of haddock remains about the same as the
last few years, showing a slight decrease from last year.
Hake and Cusk. — This fishery shows an increase over last year and a con-
siderable increase over previous years.
Halibut. — The halibut fishery shows a large increase both in catch and
value.
Herring.— The catch of herring was 133,347 c\H., with a value of $276,047,
as compared with a catch of 160,198 cwt. valued at $328,245 for 1926. The year
1926 was one of the best years the herring fishermen have had for some time.
Mackerel. — The mackerel fishery in so far as this district is concerned
remains in a more or less depleted condition.
Salmon. — The salmon fishery is gradually on the increase; 2,036 cwt. were
taken with a value of $40,782, which compares very favourably with the catch
and value for the last five years.
Scallops. — During the year 1927, 37,579 barrels of scallops were taken in
this district with a value of $212,698. This fishery is showing a steady and
continued increase from year to year, especially in the Bay of Fundy district.
THE LUNENBLT?G FLEET
The total value of tlie season's catch was approximately $1,500,000 and
the total catch was 227,590 quintals, or 115,140 quintals short of the previous
year's catch. The schooner Gladys Mosher, Captain John Mosher, was the
high liner of the fleet with 4,540 quintals.
FISHERIES BRANCH 29
The estimated monetary value of the shortage of the catch of the Lunen-
burg fieet this year in comparison with last year is $300,000 and the shortage
of last year from the year before was around $100,000. Therefore the loss to
the industry in the past two years is about $400,000.
These figures do not include the loss of vessels, etc., which for the past two
years has been appalling. Four staunch vessels of the Lunenburg fleet were lost
in the big gale of August 24. Their entire crews, numbering over eighty men,
also perished. The vessels lost were the Uda R. Corkum, Captain Wilfred
Andrews; Malaha, Captain Warren Knickle; Joyce M. Smith, Captain Edward
Maxner; Clayton W. Walters, Captain Mars Selig.
The cost of vessels and equipment together with running expenses was
high, and therefore money was not readily obtainable, and the industry was
not expanded as it should have otherwise been.
The number of vessels engaged in fishing in 1927, including those lost, was
eighty-three, nine less than in the previous year. Two new vessels were com-
pleted to be added next year to the fleet, but then it must be remembered there
were four vessels lost during 1927, so that the fleet in 1928 will no doubt be
smaller than in 1927. Each year shows an increased number of Newfoundland
men manning the Lunenburg fleet. One of the vessels lost this year, +he Joyce
M. Smith, had with the exception of the captain and two men an entire crew
of Newfoundland men.
Fifty-eight vessels on the frozen bait trip landed 30,700 quintals; seventy
vessels on the spring trip landed 60,390 quintals; and seventy-nine vessels on
the summer trip landed 136,500 quintals.
The prices received this year were slightly in advance of those received
last year. In 1926 the fishermen received from $5.50 to $6 for their first two
trips, and $5.50 for their summer trip. This year the frozen bait trip brought
around $6.35 per quintal, the spring trip was sold at $5.80 to $6.40, and the
summer catch around $7.
BAIT AND ICE REPORTING SERVICE
For the benefit of the fishermen of Nova Scotia and others immediately
interested in the fishing industry it was decided to resume reporting, during the
spring, ice eonditions and bait supplies at the Magdalen islands. The fishery
officer at Grindstone, Magdalen islands, was instructed to forward a telegram
once per week until bait appeared, after which to send one every day, except
Sunday, until the end of the spring herring season. The information received
was of particular value to those interested, especially at such fishing centres as
Lunenburg, Riverport, and Canso.
The first report was received on April 22, and dealt with ice conditions, as
no herring had as yet appeared. Herring were reported on May 13, and from
that time on reports were received regularly until the end of the spring run,
around the second week in June. This service was much appreciated by the fleet
engaged on the banks.
The contents of the reports as received were posted prominently in the chief
fishing centres and given publicity in the Halifax papers.
THE STEAM TRAWLER
Owing to the increased demand and expanding market for fresh fish, the
steam trawler fleet was augmented by two vessels, viz., the Bonthorpe and the
Sleaford. Both the Bonthorpe and the Sleaford came to the Maritime Fish Cor-
poration, Ltd., and operated from Canso. The Bonthorpe was constructed at
Collingwood, Canada, in 1927, and the Sleaford at Selby, England, during the
same year. Each vessel operated from Nova Scotia for a period of approxi-
mately three months.
30 MARINE AXD FISHERIES
Each year shows an increase in the number of steam trawlers employed
from Nova Scotia ports. During 1926 eleven were in operation, while 1927 saw
fourteen engaged. They were as follows: —

HAIR SEAL MENACE
The hair seals in this province have been in the past, and still are, very
destructive to the commercial fisheries, especially the salmon and smelt fisheries.
This matter has been of considerable concern to the department, and various
means and ways of destroying the seals have been attempted without a great
deal of success until the present year.
Some years ago a bounty of $1 per seal was offered, but it was claimed
that this amount w-as inadequate. The decision of the -department this year
to pay a bounty of $3.50 for each hair seal destroyed has resulted in the destinrc-
tion of a considerable number of the species, which has naturally had a bene-
ficial effect on the commercial fisheries of the province.
The new bounty went into operation in April, and up to the last of the
present calendar year 2,754 seals have been turned in and their snouts delivered
to officers of the department throughout the province.
It is estimated that at the close of the fiscal year March 31, 1928, some
3,300 seals will have been destroyed and turned in.
The continuation of this bounty next year should result in the destruction
of a considerably increased number of seals.
SCHOOL OF IXSTRUCTIOX FOR INSPECTORS AND FISHERY OFFICERS
A school of instruction for inspectors and fishery officers was conducted by
the Biological Board of Canada at the Atlantic Experimental Station, Hali-
fax, N.S., from February 14 to 26 inclusive. Three district inspectors of this
province were in attendance as well as sixteen fishery overseers from Nova
Scotia, together with a number of inspectors and overseers from the provinces
of New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The various subjects taken up
during the course aroused considerable interest and resulted in a very beuQ-
ficial effect upon all those in attendance. Many subjects were dealt with and
the time engaged was well spent. All the officers attending were alert, active
and very much interested in the various phases of the industry covered by the
lectures and classes of instruction.
FISH COLLECTION SERVICE
On that portion of the Guysboro county coast between Canso and Port
Bickerton an experiment was tried out in the collection of fish by Government
subsidized boats, which carried the fish to Canso for delivery to the dealers
at a nominal rate of freight.
FISHERIES BRANCH 31
Two boats were first engaged but owing to rough weather and the difficulty
of securing ice supplies, a third boat was later engaged to assist. These boats
plied between Canso and Port Bickerton, calling at all points where fish were
offered, carrying ice and bait from Canso to the fishermen and bringing their
catches back to Canso. The service was highly satisfactory in spite of
unusually rough and foggy weather, and the fishermen for the first time were
able to dispose of their catches fresh for better cash prices. They were assured
of a regular supply of bait and relieved of the work of splitting their catches
which enabled them to remain longer on the fishing grounds. Later fishing
was also encouraged which requires larger boats, these, the fishermen will prob-
ably arrange for if the service is continued.
A total of 2,832,325 pounds of fish were carried by the collection boats at
a cost to the public which, apparently, quite justifies the continuation of the
service.
RIVER AND INLAND FISHERIES
Sport fishing is a distinct asset to the province and is becoming more so
as the influx of tourists steadily increases from year to year. Good catches
of salmon and trout were taken by anglers throughout the whole province.
The rainfall during the summer was exceptionally heavy and provided many
periods of high water conditions which enabled salmon to ascend the numerous
rivers and streams.
Many salmon were taken on the fly on the various rivers and streams in
Halifax and Guysboro counties. The St. Mary's river, Guysboro county, is
an exceptionally good river and salmon sport fishermen are visiting it more
and more every year. This year they were quite successful in their operations.
Most of the rivers in the above counties flow through country which is unsuit-
able for agriculture, and while some deforestation has taken place, the low
temperature and volume of the streams have been maintained so that they
make ideal salmon waters.
Anglers for salmon were exceptionally successful in such rivers as the
St. Mary's river, Guysboro county, the Margaree river in Inverness county,
the Medway river and the Mersey river in Queens county, the Annapolis river,
Annapolis county, and various other rivers and streams throughout the prov-
ince. The record salmon taken by an angler was caught on the Margaree
river and weighed 52^ pounds.
Trout fishing was particularly good. In Cape Breton island as well as the
mainland excellent catches were taken. A trout landed with the fly at the
outlet of Barachois river, St. Ann's weighed six pounds four ounces. Nova
Scotia should be and is, becoming a popular and prosperous sport fishing district.
While the average visitor is contented with fishing for trout a great many
visitors came to angle for salmon.
A great deal of time and energy was expended in an effort to keep our rivers
and streams free of obstructions, etc., in order that such fish as salmon and
trout may readily ascend to their spawning grounds, as it is recognized by all
interested that it is of vital concern to the province that these fisheries be
kept up if wc are to hold the reputation which Nova Scotia possesses at present
as a sporting country. Fishways were constructed in dams and various obstruc-
tions removed from the rivers and streams. Both salmon and trout fry were
planted in the various waters.
32 MARINE AND FISHERIES
UTILIZATION OF FISH WASTE MANUFACTURE OF BY-PRODUCTS
During the year four licensed reduction plants were operated in Eastern
Nova Scotia as shown below: —
Fasterfat, Ltd., Halifax.
C. W. Kendall Reduction Works and Fish Meal Plant, Halifax.
Lucky Fish Meal Co., Halifax.
Robinson Glue Co., Canso.
Fasterfat, Ltd. installed a modern machine for the manufacture of fish meal
and has been working steadily throughout the year.
C. W. Kendall plant has been working part time on a smaller scale than
Fasterfat.
The Lucky Fish Meal Co. was formed in February, absorbing the Kendall
plant but only operated a short time when it became disorganized and Mr.
Kendall resumed his own operations.
The Robinson Glue Co. operated as usual throughout the year. _
The following plants were also operated in Western Nova Scotia: —
H. R. L. Bill, Lockeport, N.S.
A. W. Dodd Co., Tiverton.
A. W. Dodd Co., Westport.
Liveri^ool Refiners, Liverpool (east side) .
Roy Casey, Victoria Beach.
Parkhurst Cod Liver Oil Corp., Tiverton.
M. A. Nickerson, Clark's Harbour.
George W. Wightmen, Lockeport.
Lewis Canning Co., Annapolis.
All of the above were engaged in the production of oil with the exception
of the Lewis Canning Co. This plant was operated from a by-product stand-
point for the purpose of grinding scallop and clam shells into chicken food.
ROYAL COMMISSION ON FISHERIES
A Royal Commission to investigate the fisheries of the Maritime Prov-
inces and the Magdalen Islands was appointed by Order in Council in Sep-
tember. This commission held meetings in Nova Scotia during the months of
October, November and December. Sittings were held at Cheticamp, Port
Hood, Canso, Isaac's Harbour, Arichat, St. Peters, Ingonish, North Sydney,
Louisburg, Glace Bay, Mulgrave, Antigonish, Pictou. Pugwash, Halifax, Lunen-
burg, Liverpool, Lockeport, Shelburne, Barrington Passage, Clark's Harbour,
Yarmouth and Digby.
The sittings were largely attended by the fishermen and others interested
in the fishery industry.
FISHERIES PATROL SERVICE
Patrol boat Mildred McColl, Captain Williams. — The Fisheries Patrol
Boat Mildred McColl was absent from the district during the great part of the
fishing season on scallop investigation in Prince Edward Island and New
Brunswick. Her absence resulted in an outbreak of illegal lobster fishing,
particularly in Halifax county east. This section of the coast includes numerous
islands and coves which provide good cover for illegal operations. Thet-c can
only be properly protected by the constant attention of the patrol boat.
Contract boat Lidu T was chartered to protect the lobster fishing boundary
at Port Philip, Cumberland county, from August to October. The protection
was only fairly satisfact<irv', but it will never be adequate until a regular boat
is provided.
FISHERIES BRANCH 33
F.P. I, Captain Baker. — This boat kept up a continuous patrol throughout
the season between Pubnico and the head of the Bay of Fundy and gave entire
satisfaction in so far as it was possible for one boat to do so. This district is
largely frequented by tourists during the summer months who in many cases
encourage people to illegally fish for lobsters. The inspector for the district
states he does not believe the parties carrying on such illegal fishing are our
real fishermen but that they are farmers and men who are not dependent on
that fishery for an existence. In practically every case where men were con-
victed for illegal fishing they were not lobster fishermen but parties engaged in
other lines of endeavour. Another boat should be put on in the Yarmouth dis-
trict to assist in patrol work covered by F.P. I, as this district is altogether too
large for one boat, if the fisheries are to receive adequate protection.
FISHERIES CRUISER SERVICE
The past year was a strenuous one for both C.G.S. Arras and C.G.S.
Arleux. Both vessels were actively engaged throughout the year and both
Captain Barkhouse of the Arras and Captain Cousins of the Arleux deserve
commendation for the zeal and vigilance which characterized their work.
The Arras was engaged during the summer months as a hospital ship with
the fleet on the Grand Banks and during the remainder of the year was occupied
in patrolling the coast and ice breaking. The Arleux performed extremely
yaluable work throughout the year on fisheries patrol service and in assisting
vessels in distress, breaking ice, etc.
With regard to the work of the Arras as a hospital ship the medical ofiicer
employed on the vessel reports as follows: —
The total number of new cases treated was 223, an increase of 37 over the preceding
year.
The total number of calls upon the ship's medical officer for treatment, supplies and
dressings were 312.
A larger quantity of stock drugs was dispensed but not so much of the special medicines.
The instruments were all oiled and placed in the sterilizer which with the remaining
drugs and supplies were left in the care of the commander of the ship.
I believe more and more the fishing fleet are regarding the government ships as an
intimate and integral part of their equipment. They trust us more with regard to their
catches, each j^ear increasing calls are being made upon our services and I can only emphasize
again the advisability of sending a more suitable ship to the Grand Bank's service, a ship
equipped with some form of hospital and surgical accommodation, a motor boat for getting
quickly around the fleet in harbours, and facilities for exchanging courtesies between the
government ships of foreign countries which we encounter in our work.
A digest of the logs of these two vessels will reveal the nature of the work
performed and show an outstanding record of efiiciency.

Forty-two French beam trawlers, two Spanish trawlers and nine Canadian
beam trawlers were sighted this year on the banks, that is, St. Pierre, Qucro
and Middle Ground banks. We had no beam trawlers to contend with on the
Grand banks this year.
The Lunenburg fleet had only a fair catch this year. During the first part of
August fish were very scarce on the Grand banks which caused quite a number
of our vessels going west to the Sable island and Middle Ground banks.

LOSS OF LIFE
The loss of life of those actively engaged in the fishing industry of this
province I deeply regret to have to report was appalling. In addition to the
eighty-two men of the Lunenburg fleet, previously referred to, who lost their
lives during the big gale of August 24, when four vessels of that fleet failed to
return to port, a number of shore fishermen as follows were drowned while
engaged in their precarious calling: —
On April 24, R. Latter drowned at Herring cove, Halifax county.
On August 24, Arthur Covey and his son Charles, of Indian harbour,
drowned off Prospect, Halifax county.
Two fishermen were drowned in Halifax county east.
Three fishermen of Petit de Grat were drowned during the month of
November. The schooner Virginia S lost one man on November 22, when Mr.
Alexie Martell was washed overboard from a dory by a heaAy sea. On the
28th, Messrs. Edward DeRoche and Willie Brown lost their lives when return-
ing from the fishing grounds. A heai-y sea capsized their boat and although
they clung to the bottom of the boat as long as possible and several of their
friends attempted to save them they sank before they could be rescued.

for 1926, $1,859,003 for 1925 and $2,030,611 for 1924.
COD
The catch of cod was 19,331 cwt. against 37,674 cwt. for the previous year.
Cod were not so plentiful during the past year as they were the previous one,
the demand for the fish was very poor and the opportunity to sell did not always
exist. These factors account for a considerable portion of the decrease in the
catch.
HADDOCK
A large increase is to be noted in the quantity of haddock taken during the
year — 32,735 c\vi;. against 19,061 cwt. for the previous year. The increase in
the haddock catch is due to two causes: first, the lack of market and very low
price being paid for hake, and the increased opportunity to sell haddock in a
fresh condition, the Maritime Fish Company of Digby, N.S., taking regular
cargoes from Wilson's Beach.
HAKE
The catch of hake was 36,796 cwt. against 34,120 cwt. for the previous
year. The market conditions for these fish remain practically as they were
during 1926. The average price paid during the past year for the round fish
was 46 cents per cwt. This price was so low that very little energy was put
into the fishery.
POLLOCK
A large decrease is to be noted in the pollock catch — 7.693 cwt. against
38,271 cwt. for the previous year. This falling-off in the yield is due entirely
to a scarcity of the fish. Pollock were very scarce along the whole Vtlantic
seaboard. This was a serious blow to our fishermen, as slack-salted Quoddy
pollock were generally in good demand, at fair prices. Of course, the pi ice paid
this year, due to the scarcity of the supply, was very high.
FISHERIES BRANCH A3
HERKING
There was a falling-off of about 50 per cent in the herring catch for the
year as compared with the previous one — 155,224 cwt. in 1927 against 229,611
cwt. in 1926. This was due, principally, to a great falling-off in the run of
herring at Grand Manan. The limited supply, however, was really a blessing in
disguise for all those who engage in the smoked herring industry at Grand
Manan, as their smoke houses were filled with the pack of the previous year.
Owing to the very light pack during the past year, they were enabled to dis-
pose of the stock on hand at fair prices.
SARDINES
One hundred and seventy-four thousand six hundred and forty barrels were
taken during the past year, against 171,637 barrels in 1926 — practically the
same quantity in each year — but the available supply differed greatly during
the two years in question. During 1926 thousands of hogsheads of sardines
were actually turned out of the weirs, as there was no sale for them. The fac-
tories on the American side actually closed down for the year by the middle of
October. This year they kept open until the first of December. It is true that
they did not open until July this year, but such was the case with most of them
during 1926. Until July of the past year, Connors Bros. Ltd., was the only
cannery that was open. Of course there were times when they could not take
care of the entire supply, but the run was not very heavy and most of the fish
were sold. After the American canneries opened up, the demand always exceeded
the supply. The catch for the present year, therefore, really represents the
available supply. The average price paid to the fishermen, $6.60 per hogshead,
is not a fair value for the product, and the industry is being conducted, on the
whole, with very little, if any, profit. For the greater part of the year, the
canners acted as an actual combine in the purchase of sardine herring supplies,
with all of them paying $5 per hogshead; but, during the latter part of the
year, as the supply continued to be light and the buyers of lobster bait from
Nova Scotia were procuring considerable quantities at the standing price, the
canners started to raise it, with the result that, for a time, there was active
competition among them in the purchase of herring at the weirs, and good
prices were paid to the fishennen. The pack last year was comparatively light,
all old goods are cleaned up and the past years pack is practically all disposed
of also. Consequently, the canneries will all open in the spring, and it is to be
sincerely hoped that there will be competition among them in the purchase of
their supply of sardine herring, and that our fishermen will once again receive
fair prices for the same.
SALMON
The salmon catch was 3,462 cwt. against 3,810 cwt. for the previous year
— a slight falling-off. Taken on the whole, however, this fishery is well holding
its own.
ALEWIVES
The Alewive catch was 23,000 cwt. against 34,000 cwt. for the previous
year. A large portion of the alewive catch is salted, packed in barrels and
exported to Haiti and other West Indian islands. There is very little demand
for them at the present time, with the result that a considerable portion of the
catch is yet on hand. The prospects for the successful prosecution of this
branch, during the coming year, is not very encouraging.
SHAD
There was a large falling-off in the shad catch for the present year —
1.698 cwt. against 3,384 cwt. for 1926. While the catch in the Bay of Fundy
44
MARINE AND FISHERIES
waters and St. John harbour was very light, at the same time, Overseer Barnes
reports that a very large run of shad ascended the Petitcodiac river and suc-
cessfully performed their function of propagation. It is to be hoped that the
fishery will show the benefit of the same in the course of the next few years.
LOBSTERS
A slight increase is to be noted in the quantity of lobsters taken during the
year — 6,735 cwt. against 6,130 cwt. for 1926. I really think the increase in
the yield is due more to favourable weather conditions during the past fall,
rather than to any increase in the run of lobsters.
There is very little to note with regard to minor branches of the industry.
It is very apparent that the lot of the fisherman, under present conditions,
is not a happy one. The run of fish, taken on the whole, is fairly satisfactory,
and the fishermen have provided themselves with necessary, up-to-date equip-
ment for catching the same; but they are seriously handicapped by their
inability to find a ready market for their products at paying prices. This is
especially true of the summer months when the run of fish is the greatest and
the weather is good. The urgent need of the line-fishermen is development of
the fresh fish and mild-cured industries. The salt fish industry appears to be
dying out. The fresh, mild-cured and canned industries are taking its place.
Except in sardine canning, there has been very little development along these
lines in this district. There is a fairly steady supply of practically all kinds
of ground fish of the very best quality, but neither facilities, capital nor busi-
ness organization for development along modern lines. It is to be sincerely
hoped that some such development will materalize in the near future.
There were 64 confiscations and 14 prosecutions during the year. In
Appendix No. 8 will be found full details of the prosecutions for this district.

FISHERIES BRANCH 45
L0BSTE21S
Of the fisheries of this district the lobsters still hold first place in value
although there was a decrease of 10,000 cwt. from the previous year. I would
attribute a great deal of this decrease to the fact that there was better protec-
tion against out of season fishing in the northern district where in past years
considerable lobsters were taken and carried to the open season district to the
south and included in the catch of the fall season. I look for a considerable
falling off in the reported pack in the northern district this coming year. In
past years, a considerable illegal fall pack was made in certain parts of the
northern district and included in the spring pack for the following year but
there was very little of this during the fall of 1927 owing mainly to better pro-
tection, the low price of lobsters and the refusal of the larger dealers to buy
any of this illegal stock. There were 125 lobster canneries in operation as
against 129 in the previous year, a decrease of four. This decrease took place
in the southern district and for some years past there has been a steady decrease
in the number of canneries operating, as the operators cannot obtain enough
lobsters to make packing profitable. Another reason is the ready market for
the sale of lobsters for the live lobster trade which pays a better price for the
larger lobster than the canneries can afford.
SMELTS
There was a decrease of 13,098 cwt. in the catch with a decrease in value
of $162,590 from the previous year. This decrease may be partly accounted
for by the fact that until after Christmas 1927 there was very little fishing
owing to the lack of ice rather than to any noticeable decrease in the run of
smelts. The fishermen sustained some severe losses in nets and gear owing to
the ice moving out on two or three occasions after they had set their nets.
Altogether about $10,000 worth of nets were destroyed. The quality of smelts
was good, particularly in the fall of 1927, and a good average price was main-
tained.
For the past three or four years the fishermen of the Miramichi district
have realized that the number of nets set to catch smelts is out of all proportion
to the quantity of smelts taken, there being about 3,000 licenses issued on the
Miramichi river and bay. Throughout the summer, at the request of the fish-
ermen, some meetings were held at which they voted almost unanimously for
an increase in the distance between nets. Commencing December 1, 1927, all
nets in the Miramichi district were set 200 yards from each other up and down
the river where previously they had fished as close as 100 yards. The results
have proven quite satisfactory and saves the fisherman who has struck a good
nm of smelts from being hemmed in too closely by other fishermen, as was
the case previously. Better protection was given the smelts previous to the
opening of the season with the result that there was very little illegal fishing
done.
Less gill-net fishing was carried on from October 15 to December 1 than
ever before and the fishermen are beginning to realize that this is not a paying
proposition, as the smelts command only about half the price that they do in
the colder weather. Last year the fishermen of Buctouche bay and the tributary
rivers asked to have gill-net fishing prohibited which request was granted by
the department.
SALMON
There was a decrease of 2,410 cwt. from the previous year with an increase
in value of $10,566. The decrease was general throughout the district among
the trap-nets, although the catch by drift boats in Northumberland strait was
46 MARINE AND FISHERIES
about equal to the previous year. There was a considerable falling off in Bay
Chaleur and Restigouche districts where all fishing is done with trap-nets.
The decrease may be accounted for by the general fluctuations in fisheries from
year to year. Nearty one million pounds were shipped frozen to England. The
United States market also was always quite brisk and there was always a
good demand for salmon the fishermen receiving from 10 cents to 12 cents per
pound.
COD
There was a decrease in the cod fishery the catch being 43,448 c^i). and
the value $163,114 less than the previous year. Altogether the cod fishermen
had a hard year as the continued damp weather throughout the fishing season
made it next to impossible to put up a well dried product with the result that
the market value shows a considerable decrease. Owing to the poor price paid,
many boats of the fishing fleet stayed in the harbour. The price paid for dried
fish averaged $1 per cwt. less than the year before. The overseer in the Caraquet
area reported that about 60 per cent of the fish were graded No. 2 quality.
OYSTERS
There was a increase of 1,191 barrels with an increase in value of $8,041
over the previous year. Most of this increase was in the Miramichi Bay district
where an increased catch of 1,075 barrels were taken. The increase was mainly
due to the increased number of fishermen who came to the Miramichi from as
far north as Caraquet and as far south as Buctouche. Last summer all dealers
in my district were notified by letter from this office that a stricter check would
be kept on the quality of oysters which were being bought from the fishermen.
The overseers notified the fishermen that the size limit was to be more strictly
adhered to. The inspector received many letters from the dealers saying that
they were most ready to co-operate in putting on the market a better grade of
oysters and the fishermen themselves were pleased when they received from
$1.50 to $2 per barrel more for selected oysters than they had received the
previous year. There is a wonderful opportunity for the development of the
ovster fishery in this district and it is hoped that as a result of the meetings
of the Royal Commission that some steps will be taken to improve the beds
already in existence and develop new areas suitable for oyster culture. At the
Commission sittings nearly all the oyster dealers asked for compulsory grading
and standard packing of oysters.
TOM CODS
There was an increase of 3,167 cwt. with an increase in value of $30,737
over the previous year. In February of last year there was very keen com-
petition among the buyers of tomcods and as high as $2.25 per barrel was paid
where previously this fishery brought only from $1 to $1.50 per barrel. This
accounts for the increase in value.
HERRING
There was an increased catch of 63,319 cwt., but a decrease in value of
$8,163.
MACKEREL
There was a decrease in catch of 9,817 cwt., with a proportionate decrease
in value of $34,885. This was not due to any decrease in the run of fish. It is
regretablc tliat more fishermen did not go into mackerel fishing last year as
owing to the fact that the Gloucester fleet did not strike the schools there was
a brisk demand in the United States for these fish. In 1926 and 1927 the dealers
FISHERIES BRANCH 47
in this district had large stocks on hand which they were barely able to get rid
of, with the result that they made very little preparation for buying in 1927,
and so missed a most favourable market.
ALEWIVES
There was a decrease of 9,767 cwt. with a decrease in value of $18,401.
CLAMS AND QUAHAL'GS
There was a decrease of 741 barrels and a decrease in value of $1,545.
There are now two canneries for canning quahaugs in my district, where a couple
of years ago there were none. This probably accounts for the increase in value,
although no apparent reason can be given for the decreased catch.
TROUT
There was an increase in the reported commercial catch, also a great
increase in the catch in angling waters. Anglers of the Miramichi and tribu-
taries report that the trout fishing was the best for years. This they attribute
to the better protection given by the department in the prevention of fishing
for trout through the ice, considerable of which was done until two or three
years ago, particularly in the Bartibogue and Tabusintae rivers.
SCALLOPS
No scallop licenses were issued for this district last year. Good beds are
known to exist in bay Chaleur, but as the fishermen are not familiar with the
methods of taking this splendid shell fish and as they are hard to fish on account
of living in deep water very little attempt is made to take them. It is hoped
the commission will recommend instructions to the fishermen in the methods of
raking scallops.
The other kinds of fish in my district are so unimportant that special men-
tion need not be made of them.
PROTECTION
We had better protection on all kinds of fish last year than at any time
during the past three years. The fishermen themselves seem to relize that in
fishing illegally or countenancing it they are working against their own interests.
Dealers, too, have awakened to the fact that the lobster fishery' was doomed
unless energetic steps were taken to protect this. In last year's report I spoke
of a meeting held in Moncton in February, 1927, as a result of which more
co-operation was looked for between the dealers and the department's officers.
This has proven to be the case. At that meeting the dealers bound themselves
to buy no illegal lobsters either in a packed or green state, and so far as I know
all who signed the agi'eement have lived up to it. It was particularly notice-
able during the close season north of the Chockpish. Some parties were looking
everywhere for cans with which to put up illegally caught lobsters. They could
not get these from the large dealers as in years past, and this was one contribut-
ing cause of the better conditions in the northern district last year. Only in one
section of the northern district was any great attempt made to fish for lobsters
in spite of preventive measures. This was in the district of Kent county, north
of the Chockpish. Two additional patrol boats were put under the charge of
the overseer there and with the result that nearly 5,000 lobster traps were taken
up and the attempt to fish had finally to be abandoned by the fishermen, some
of whom have no gear with which to start this year. It is regretable that all
this gear must be destroyed, but under the circumstances nothing else can be
48 MARINE AND FISHERIES
done with it. If the traps were brought ashore they would certainly be stolen and
put back into the water again. A number of prosecutions took place for breach
of the lobster regulations, which had the result of slowing up the activities of
the illegal fishermen.
Fishing for salmon out of season has long been a favourite pastime on the
Miramichi for years past, but last fall more energetic steps were taken to inter-
fere with this traffic. Additional and better guardians were employed to assist
the overseer and by keeping their boats on the go day and night, and by chang-
ing the g-uardians, practically every net that was put in the water was seized,
and it was admitted on all sides that very few salmon were shipped to the
American market as in former years.
The same patrol was used to protect the smelts before the opening date,
December 1, with excellent results.
As a result of the strict measures put in force more co-operation has come
from the fishermen themselves, a greater number of whom fish out of season
only because their neighbom's do.
One necessity in this district is a fast sea-going motor launch available
for any part of the district during the open water and this is being asked for,
for this year. The last few years there has been a scarcity of salmon in the
trap-nets of the Miramichi river. This scarcity has been laid to the drift-net
fishermen, rather unfairly I think, as the charges are made without any real
study of the facts. Of course there is no question that if drift-nets were not
used more salmon would come up the river, but I believe there are other con-
tributory causes, one of which has been the taking of so many spawn salmon
during the fall of the year, in years past.
However, as a result of an investigation carried out by the' department
among the drifters and trap-net fishermen, restrictive measures will be put in
force this year which it is hoped will remedy conditions somewhat. Drifting
will cease on the 31st of July, one month earlier than in years past. The length
and depth of their nets will be limited, which was not done before, and the
trap-net fishermen in the river are to give up fifteen days at the end of this
season. If, as a result, no increase in salmon is shown within a reasonable time
jnore restrictions will probably have to be put on.
I quite agree that in order to have a well-balanced situation more salmon
must reach the angling pools in the spring and early summer, but I do not
agree with those who agitate that to this end the drifters should cease fishing
for two weeks in June, which is the only month in which their operations really
pay.
SEALS
Throughout the summer there was a bounty of $3.50 paid on hair seal noses.
In addition to the amount appropriated by the department for these bounties,
the fishermen of the Miramichi held meetings and requested that the salmon
license fees from the Miramichi be used for the destruction of seals at the mouth
of the Miramichi. Altogether I paid out about $1,700, representing payment on
nearly 500 seals. This would indicate the destruction of at least 1,000 seals,
as only about 50 per cent of those actually killed are ever recovered. As a
result there were fewer complaints about the seals last summer than for some
years past, and it is hoped that the bounty will be continued.
LOBSTER CANNERIES
There is a steady improvement in the sanitary conditions and in the equip-
ment used in the lobster canneries. Last summer one license was cancelled and
the fee returned to the applicant as his cannery was not considered fit for use.
FISHERIES BRANCH 49
In another case the overseer was instructed to accept no application. In a
number of others the owners were warned to carry out certain drastic measures
for 1928, under penalty of being refused a license to pack.
Throughout the year there were 63 prosecutions as against 17 of the year
before. There were also 131 confiscations as against 54 of the previous year.
Prosecutions were for offences as follows: —
Breaches of lobster regulations 39
" oyster " 4
" salmon " 18
" smelt " 2
Total 63
In appendix No. 8 will be found a list of those who were prosecuted in this
district.
Considerable interest was taken by the fishermen and dealers in the sittings
of the Royal Commission on Fisheries and as a result there is a more optimistic
feeling that much good will come of the hearings. The fishermen all spoke well
of the liberty they were given in expressing their views and the sympathetic
hearing they received. They were frank in mentioning their faults in the past
and in this way the commissioners got a real insight into the abuses by the
fishermen themselves as well as the handicaps with which they have to contend.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR H. E. HARRISON, DISTRICT No. 3, PROV-
INCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK, FOR 1927-28
District No. 3, New Brunswick, comprises the counties of Kings, Queens,
Sunbury, York, Carleton, Victoria, Madawaska and the tidal waters of the
Northwest and Southwest Miramichi rivers in Northumberland county.
Spring opened up a little earlier than it did in 1926; the St. John river being
pretty well clear of ice by April 20. By April 23 the waters of this river
reached a height of about fifteen feet above low level, but did not reach thd
usual spring freshet level of about twenty feet above low level. The first gas-
pereau of the season reached the Fredericton market April 20. The weather
continued cold and cloudy, with many rain storms, and the rivers and streams
kept at a fairly high pitch nearly all season, and the season was not considered a
favourable one from the fishermen's point of view, but it was of advantage to the
earlier runs of fish such as gaspereau, shad and salmon. In comparing sta-
tistics for my district for the year 1927 with 1926 consideration must be given
to the enlarged area in 1927. This added area comprises the tidal waters of the
Northwest and Southwest Miramichi rivers and the tributaries entering them
in that area — a considerable body of important water so far as the gaspereau,
shad and salmon fisheries are concerned.
The total weight and value of the fisheries in 1926, excluding the area
above referred to, and the total weight and value in the whole area in 1927'
were as follows: —

an enlargement of 8,817 cwt. and $12,819 in value and the value of boats and
gear added more than 100 per cent to the 1926 value.
Appropriate efforts were made to give the added territory proper super-
vision and I have no hesitation in saying that the local officer in that sub-
district had proper respect shown in the matter of protection for the valuable
fisheries.
68927—4
50 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Taking the 1926 area, and comparing the total catch and value in the same
area in 1927, I find that there was a reduced catch of 265 cwt. and a less value
of $7,347, accounted for almost wholly in the smaller catches of bass and
salmon.
ALEWIVES
Fewer alewives by 98 cwt. were taken in 1927 in the same area that I had
in 1926, consequently the large catch shown below was mostly taken in the
Northwest and Southwest Miramichi rivers. The figures are

an increase of 8,386 cwt. and $11,158.
In the St. John river area advices were to the effect that these fi.sh were
very plentiful during the spring run but the market was very limited there-
fore no particular effort was made to take more than were required for loc'al
consumption. In the Miramichi rivers area, i.e., the tidal waters, the quantity
was 8,484 cwt. while statistics show that 9,000 cwt. were taken in the same area
in 1926. I regret to have to report that the market for this fish was not good,
and the price was low, and many hundreds of barrels remained in the hands
of the dealers throughout the summer, with little or no profit to either fisher-
men or dealer.
BASS

The bass fishery was almost a complete failure in 1927. In the St. John
river area the drop was 200 cwt. and in the Miramichi rivers area none were
taken in 1927. So far as the St. John river is concerned my experience is that
there is a good run of bass about every twelfth year, but I had hopes for some-
thing more stable in the Miramichi area.

While the price of this fish, to the fishermen was practically the same in
both years, and was very low, there was a considerable increase in the quantity
taken. Had the price kept as it was in 1925 — 17 cents per pound — it is pos-
sible that a much larger catch would have been taken in 1927, and the water
rid to a greater extent of a pest.

This fish is used for baiting eel pots, to a considerable extent. There isi
also a considerable market for it in certain centres of population. Another
reason why it sems desirable to take as many as possible from the rivers is the
fact that it is presumed that it is very destructive to the eggs of shad and gas-
pereau, and possibly to the eggs of trout. A strange thing is the fact that trout
and mullets appear to be great friends and very large fish of both species will
lie together in considerable numbers in many clear water pools.

The very substantial increase in the catch of this fish is satisfactory, the
fish were of large size and the price continued fairly satisfactory to the fisher-
men. It is a fishery that does not entail a large outlay for gear and it may be
carried on the year round without the fishermen having to take much time from
other work and it puts a few dollars into the pockets of the farmers living near
waters where pickerel are fairly plentiful.

Note. — The first set of figures are for the district as it was in 1926, i.e.,
excluding the tidal waters of the Northwest and Southwest Miramichi rivers,
and shows a decreased catch of 174 cwt. in 1927 and a value decrease of $4,550.
The centre row of figures show the quantity and value in my present area. In
this instance the St. John river fish is credited at 25 cents per pound and the
Miramichi rivers fish at 15 cents per pound to the fishermen and 30 cents per
pound to the dealers. The lower set of figures show the catch in the two
Miramichi rivers — the same area, see Inpector Barry's report for 1926 — with a
smaller catch of 477 cwt. in 1927. With regard to the St. John river I have no^
complaint to make. The water kept fairly high during the month of June and
half of July and salmon evaded the gill nets on the lower part of the river
but good catches were made higher up, in York and Carleton counties. While
this fishery fell off greatly in the upper area during the balance of the netting
season it improved in the lower area — Kings county — and, notwithstanding the
many and bitter complaints regarding the lack of effort on the part of your
ofiicers and guardians to enforce the law, and the great destruction of salmon by
poachers, I think that I shall be able, before my report is concluded, to show
that at least a fair proportion of salmon reached the angling and spawning
waters. The fish were exceedingly well developed and very few grilse were
taken in the nets. I anticipate that the development of hydro at Grand Falls
which work will be completed sometime this year will affect the salmon fishery
of the St. John river above Fredericton. The river will be kept at a higher
level, probably, after the spring freshet subsides, and this may hurt some fishing
stands and help others, and it is possible that it may spoil the angling altogether,
or again it may develop other salmon pools. It will take a year or two to
know what the result will be, and it will be interesting to waitch the matter.
Coming to the Miramichi waters, it seems to me that there is real cause foT
worry. The 1925 report gives the nets' catch as 992 cwt., the 1926 report as
732 cwt. and the 1927 report as 235 cwt. for the tidal waters now under mv
jurisdiction, with a similar decrease in the trap-nets district of Inspector Barry's
district, I understand, while the drift-nets have taken a larger amount than in
1926. As this matter has received some consideration by your department,
and is being further considered by the Royal Fisheries Commission, it is
hoped that a remedy for present conditions may be found. At the session of
Commission referred to, I was extremely pleased to hear two trap-net fishermen,
who were strangers to me, voluntarily recommended that the size of the mesh
68927— 4i
52 MARINE AND FISHERIES
for trap-nets be made five and one-half inches, by law, instead of five inches as
at present. As the department is well aware, I have for years advocated a
six-inch mesh for salmon nets, of all descriptions, in all of our waters, and at
a session of the commission in St. John a few days later Commissioner Robi-
cliaud advised the commission that he is in favour of the six-inch mesh. Such,
it appears to me, would permit a considerable number of fair sized fish — 6 to
8 pounds — passing through the nets if the fish happened to strike them, and
would in a measure appease the anglers in giving them more fish to have a tr>'
at. It seems difficult to limit the number of nets allowed but I think that it
would not be difficult to limit the length of them. Very few small fish are
taken by the salmon nets in the St. John river but a very large number have
been in years past> and up to the present, in the trap-nets in the Miramichi
rivers and bay. It seems quite apparent that drastic action of some sort
must soon be taken if the valuable salmon fishery of the Miramichi district
is to be preserved, and a good deal may be done by the strict enforcement of
even the present regulations.

Note. — The top figures are for my ddstrict as it was in 1926 (excluding
the tidal waters of the Northwest and Southwest Miramichi rivers) and for the,
same area in 1927. It will be observed that there was a slight decrease in 1927.
The middle row gives the result in 1927 with the Miramichi district added and
the lower set gives the result in the Northwest and Southwest Miramichi rivers
alone in 1926 and the same in 1927, showing a 50 per cent decrease in the latter
case, with only thirteen shad fishery' licenses issued in that area in 1926, as
against seventy-nine in the same area in 1927.
An analysis of the St. John river area shows that the Kennebecasis river,
in Kings county, yielded 72 cwt. less than the previous year and that the
Washademoak water, in Queens county, yielded 113 cwt. more and the St
John river, in Queens county, yielded 96 cwt. less thian in 1926; a net loss
of 55 cwt. in the two counties. The balance of the St. John river counties —
Sunbury, York, Carleton and Victoria — do not figure strongly in the total;
the gross catch there in 1927 being 46 cwt., which just equals the net losis in
the St. John river area in 1927 as compared with 1926. As the four counties' —
Sunbury, York. Carleton and Victoria — cover about 140 miles of the St. John
river, it would appear that 46 cwt. of shad taken from that area would not
tend to affect the shad fishery seriously, consequently if it desired to curtail this
fishery further it would appear that the remedy needs to be applied in the
counties of Kings and Queens, particularly on the two tributaries of the St.
John. If a remedy is applied I would suggest that it take the form of issuing
only one shad fishery license to a family and that the licensee be required to
fish his or her own net, instead of allowing two licenses to a family, which may
be fished by any person. The fishermen on the river contend that shad were
not scarce, either in 1926 or 1927, but that water conditions were very unsuit-
able both years; being too high for profitable fishing. On looking at the returns
from the last shad area — just below Grand Falls — it would appear that a con-
siderable quantity of shad reached there and were able to pass the nets below,
and there were only three nets operated at Grand Falls. Coming to the Mira-
michi rivers the 50 per cent loss would lappear to be a matter for serious
confiideration, unless conditions were very abnormal in 1927. With a 600 per
FISHERIES BRANCH 53
cent increase in licenses issued and a d-ecrease of 50 per cent in the catch of
shad it looks bad from any angle. The price at which a large percentage of
the catch sells makes it a very cheap food, and I hope that the supply will not
diminish.

This fishery, carried on by a few persons, is not very prosperous, and the
price for the meat was not good in 1927. A considerable number of very small
sturgeon are taken in other nets and are generally lost. Fishermen are warned
to liberate the small fish alive but because of the great number of nets of all
kinds it is quite impossible to know w-hat is done with a large percentage of
small sturgeon.

The area was practically the same in both years, as I had the non-tidal
water of the Miramichi rivers in 1926.
Statistical records from the various subdistrict officers, show that there
were 50 cwt. less in quantity and $2,105 less in value in 1927.
Reports from the local officers and various anglers during the season were
that trout fishing generally was quite satisfactory, and in the Miramichi dis-
trict particularly good. The lessee of Cains river said that he never saw a
better run of sea trout in that river, and there was a particularly good run in
the Southwest Miramichi above Cains river, which is a tributary. The anglers
are more anxious however to get salmon and grilse and do not fish trout as was
the case before salmon angling became such a sport. There are thousands of
persons in this district who do not live beside salmon waters, or who cannot
afford to fit out for salmon angling, to whom trout fishing is the chief recrea-
tion, and also for food at times, consequently the conservation of the present
supply, and the propogation at the hatcheries and ponds by the department, to
be later liberated in lakes and streams, is well worth while and should be, and
no doubt is, appreciated by anglers.
Salmon angling on the St. John river was only fair. In York county the
water was too high during most of the season. In Carleton county the same
condition prevailed but it did not affect the pools so much and angling was
fairly satisfactory, while in Victoria county high water, presumably, spoilt
54 MARINE AND FISHERIES
such fishing. There is no question but that when the water is high salmon do
not rest long in the various pools between Fredericton and Grand Falls, con-
sequently it is much more difficult to take any. When the rivers are low the
water is warm because of its sluggish movement therefore salmon will rest
longer and in larger numbers in the cool spots, until the urge come upon them
to move on towards the spawning areas on the Tobique and upper St. John,
and it is while they are resting in these cooling spots that the anglers have their
greatest success. The statement is often made by unthinking persons, or per-
sons who do not know the facts, that, because salmon cannot be freely taken
with the fly at all times, poachers are causing the trouble with nets. That may,
and no doubt is a fact at times, but it is exceedingly .seldom that such is the
fact in recent years. Time was when a great many salmon were illegally killed
with nets and spears on the St. John river, but evidence cannot be produced,
during recent years, to show that many salmon have been illegally killed with
either net or spear in this water. Vague statements by irresponsible persons
are not evidence. Only three times since the year 1902 has the net catch of
salmon on the St. John river been less than it was in 1927. At the same time
the salmon anglers of the Tobique river had the best season in history — 86
cwt. taken with rod and line against 398 cwt. taken by all the salmon nets in
the whole St. John river area — while angling on the St. John was not good. The
superintendent of the Tobique Salmon Club informed me that never within his
experience of thirty-five years on that river did he see so many salmon descend-
ing the river after spawning as during the fall of 1927. Admittedly the con-
tinuous fairly high water was favourable for the ascent but that fact does not
detract from my statement that large numbers of salmon reached the upper
waters, and proves the numerous statements of " salmon unable to get up river,"
" antiquated service," " illegal fishing going on without let or hindrance," " fish-
ery officers and guardian doing nothing but drawing their pay," as untrue.
Possibly if the Government of the province of New Brunswick would spend
a small amount of money, seeing that practically all of the revenue from the
fisheries of the province goes to it, in placing a man here and there to co-operate
with your officers and guardians, the service would be improved. It might at
least satisfy those who are now making iso much noise about the amount of
illegal fishing taking place, and would give us a chance to check up on how
badly your officers and guardians are falling down.
On the Southwest Miramichi salmon angling was not considered good;
more particularly after the middle of July. Before that date there was no par-
ticular reason to complain, and here again the service provided by the depart-
ment was not greatly to blame. I have been advised by a guide who spent the
whole of the angling season on the river, in York county, that angling was good
until the middle of July. Is it any wonder that angling was not very good dur-
ing the whole season when we consider the fact of the very small catch of salmon
in the trap nets and gill nets — a total of 255 cwt. in both the Northwest and
Southwest rivers. The fact of the matter is salmon did not come into these
rivers in large numbers in 1927, for what reason I do not know, but if angling
was unsatisfactory it was not the fault of the officers and guardians. I am told
by the same guide that never were there so many parties of anglers on tl^ie
Southwest, in York county, as were there in 1927. Fishing parties followed one
another continuously from the upper waters to Boiestown, besides the scores of
anglers who spent from one to three weeks in specified areas. Two anglers
from Boston, U.S.A., took nearly one hundred salmon and grilse in one small
area — Burnt Hill pools — which is probably the best small area on the river.
Hundreds of salmon and grilse ascended and remained in one small stream
sixteen miles long — Rocky brook — in York county, in addition to numbers taken
by anglers. Whether the great number and the great length of drift nets and
FISHERIES BRANCH
55
trap nets, or the vast number of hair seals, or a combination of both, brought
about the conditions of 1927, as they were, I am unable to say, but there is no
question about that salmon were comparatively scarce in those waters. In
every instance wherein violations have been reported to me, and evidence of
value furnished, prosecution has followed, with the exceptions noted below.
PROSECUTIONS
There were twenty-seven informations laid against violators of the Act. In
two instances informations were withdrawn because of the ages of the young
offenders, but they were required to pay fairly heavy costs. One was with-
drawn because of bad information, but was re-entered and a conviction made,
and convictions were obtained in the other twenty-four cases, fines amounting
to $275, being paid in twenty cases and fines amounting to $80, being sus-
pended, pending future actions on the parts of the offenders, of which there
were four. Details of these will be found in Appendix No. 8.
SEIZURES AND CONFISCATIONS
Seventy-nine seizures were made and the articles, consisting of one old
Ford car, one canoe, nets, wire traps, spears and torches, etc., were confiscated
and mostly destroyed; $82.10 worth of materials were sold and some stored for
future sale — when the fisheries open in the spring of 1928.

56 MARINE AND FISHERIES
As the Royal Commission appointed to investigate all" phases of the
fisheries have held three sittings in the province of Prince Edward Island, I
shall refrain from making any recommendations, confining my remarks to the
actual fishing operations for the past season.
COD
The season opened with poor prospects for marketing; the local market
became quite active, however, and absorbed the bulk of the catch, good prices
being obtained.
The catch by sub-districts is as follows: —
Cwt.
West Prince county 7, 330
East Prince county 696
Queens county 34,632
Kings county 6, 761
HADDOCK
The catch by sub-districts is as follows: —
Cwt.
Queens county 205
Kings county 936
HERRING
On account of unfavourable ice conditions fishing began late in May; the
catch, therefore, is a little below that of last year. A large percentage of the
catch was placed in cold storage for fox feed, a development of this fisherv\
which enhances its value considerably.
The catch by sub-districts is as follows: —
Cwt.
West Prince county 15, 925
East Prince countj' 11, 263
Queens county 8, 178
Kings county 16,468
LOBSTERS
Our shores were surrounded with ice until the middle of May, and in some
localities up to the 25th, which had a disastrous effect on this fisherv'. The ice
moved off several times and some gear was set out, only to be destroyed, how-
ever, on the return of the ice which occurred on two or three occasions. It is
impossible to expect a normal catch under such conditions, but, should the
weather be favourable for fishing this spring, we may no doubt look forward
to a much increased catch.
Japanese crabmeat is nov/ an established product and is offering keen com-
petition to the canned lobster. As a result, lobster packers will have to
endeavour to put up a first-class article in order to establish a preference for
their produce among the consuming public, and compensate for the difference
in the price of crabmeat, which, I understand, is about one-third less than that
of canned lobster. If the buying public could be assured of the superior
quality of canned lobster no doubt a much larger quantity could be sold at a
reasonable figure.
The catch by sub-districts is as follows: —
Cwt.
West Prince county 13,975
East Prince county 10,411
Queens county 13,067
Kings county 25,347
FISHERIES BRANCH 57
OYSTERS
East and West rivers with tributaries, Vernon, Orwell andi Seal rivers are
all well stocked with small oysters so that the future of this fishery in the
above-mentioned rivers is assured. The Richmond Bay areas are very slow
to recover and it will be many years before they attain their former state of
productiveness. The oysters shipped from this province to the upper Canadian
markets were in good demand and fancy prices were secured throughout the
season.
SMELTS
The smelt fishing season for gill-nets opened on the 15th day of October.
The fish were scarce but of a good quality and sold at extremely high prices.
The bag-net fishing season opened on December 1, and although the rivers did
not freeze over before the end of the month, record catches were taken in the
East river and at other points.
The catch by counties follows: —
Cwt.
West Prince county 995
East Prince county 5.328
Queens county 8.066
Kings county 547
FISHERIES PROTECTION SERVICE
We had six patrol boats in the service and with the aid of the overseers
and guardians a great many attempts at illegal fishing were suppressed. There
is no doulbt that the only means of preventing illegal fishing is by having a
sufficient number of patrol boats employed, the captains of which must be men
well qualified for the position: otherwise, the service is bound to suffer.
Total number of confiscations for violations of the fisheries regulations
during the season 1927 covering 100 seizures, 45.
Total number of prosecutions during season 1927, 19.
In Appendix No. 8 will be found full details of the prosecutions for this
district.
REM.\RKS
The fishways built in 1925 at Laird's, Campbell's, Dixon's milldams, and
at Vernon river, are proving a success and trout are ascending in large numbers
to the proper spawning grounds. This will eventually increase the fishing in the
above-mentioned streams and it is hoped that the department will see fit to
construct more of these fishways in other streams that are equally importiant.
Our streams are being fished continuously during the summer months by our
own people and numerous tourist? and everything possible must be done for the
propagation of these sport fish. Sportsmen from the other provinces are loud
in their praises of the excellent trout fishing in this province, and if the supply
is to be kept up every attention must be given to propagation.
CAPITAL INVESTED
The total capital invested was $1,117,473, which covers sail and row boats,
gasoline boats, carrying smacks, gill-nets, trap and smelt nets, lierring nets,
tubs of trawls, handlines, lobster traps, fishing piers and wharves, ice houses,
small fish and smoke houses and fish canning and curing establishments.
MAGDALEN ISLANDS
Tiie total marketed value of the fisheries of the Magdalen Islands for the
year 1927 was $722,105, an increase of $88,882 over that of the preceding year.

COD
There was little demand for cod, and, as a result, this fishery was not
carried on to any great extent. The catch was about the same as last year but
the price was somewhat lower.
HERRING
Herring made their first appearance on May 12 and were very plentiful.
Very few vessels called for bait, and as the demand for smoked herring is poor,
this fishery is not as remunerative to the fishermen as it was some years ago.
LOBSTERS
Lobster canneries began operations on May 19, but on account of very
,blustery weather during the months of May and June, the catch was a little
below that of last year, but the prices paid the fishermen were the same.
MACKEREL
Mackerel fishing with nets began on the 8th day of June and continued
until the 20th, the largest catch in the history of the islands being landed, viz.,
16,876 barrels. It is impossible to properly handle these fish in such large
quantities, and as a result a great many of them were of poor quality and a
much lower price had to be accepted for them.
SEALS
The increase in the number of seals caught was 49,157. The catch
amounted to 50,357 seals which is a record catch for the Magdalcns.
REMARKS
The arrival of the steamer Lovatt on the first day of May marked the
opening of navigation to the Magdalen Islands. On her first trip from Pictou
to the islands she encountered heavy fields of ice and was out for four days.
Thi.s service is giving entire satisfaction so far as passengers and freight are
concerned, and the captain and crew are very obliging and attentive to their
duties.
It is pleasing to know that the people of these islands will have communi-
cation during the winter months with the outside world by means of the Air
Service; this will doubtless be fully appreciated by them.

MAEKETS
While our fishennen have produced approximately the same per man as in
1926, their returns in many instances have been meagre owing to extremely
weak markets. With an increased production of nearly two million pounds, the
actual revenue to the fishermen of the province is, $321,542 less than 1926, and
to the exporter and dealer, $304,095 les's. While all varieties excepting cat-
fish, goldeyes and sturgeon were affected by the slump in prices, pickerel and
tullibee fared worse than any others, dropping about two cents per pound. As
these two varieties constitute over twenty million pounds, or nearly two-thirds
of the total production, the serious effect to the whole industry can be readily
calculated.
The following are comparative prices as marketed, of the more important
varieties, for the last five years: —

It will be seen the price realized per pound is the lowest in five years.
The Sub-District of The Pas, comprising all waters north of, and includ-
ing the Big Saskatchewan river, but not the northern part of lake Winnipeg, has
enjoyed a good season in all varieties of scale fish. The somewhat lower prices
60 MARINE AND FISHERIES
that obtained as compared with 1926, was fully offset by the increased yield.
While there were more men operating, the catch per man was considerably
higher than the previous year. The slump in price, which affected other dis-
tricts very materially, was not nearly as injurious here, as pickerel and tullibee,
in which the biggest drop was recorded, constitute a very small proportion of
the production in this district. Moose, Cormorant and Herb lake, were the
chief producers.
Cormorant lake just about produced its limit of 75 tons by the end of the
season, February 28, 1927, and Clearwater lake had produced its limit of 40
tons by the end of January. About half the production was shipped fresh
(green).
Three new lakes which were fished in a small way were Armstrong. Part-
ridge Crop and Pikwitonia. These are all small lakes out from Mile 214 of the
Hudson Bay railway and the principal catches were whitefish and tullibee. The
whitefish produced were of exceptionally good quality, mostly jumbos and large
mediums. One license was issued for Reindeer lake, where the production con-
sisted mostly of whitefish, trout and herring. The catch was almost entirely
sold locally.
So far this winter, Beaver lake appears to be the big producer, the limit of
100 tons being taken by the end of December. It is expected the 40-ton limit
for Clearwater lake will be reached early in January.
Summer fishing for whitefish was carried on in a small way in Moose lake.
The catch was good, but lack of ice and poor transportation facilities did not
warrant extensive operations.
STLTIGEON
Sturgeon fishing on the Churchill was good, eleven licenses were issued,
but the men operating were poorly equipped, and between them did not have an
outfit of nets for more than five men. They produced 14,800 pounds of sturgeon,
average dressed weight being fully 30 pounds. The first consignment consisting
of 467 sturgeon were brought to The Pas before Christmas. The overseer reports
these as the best samples of sturgeon, size and quality, that he has seen in that
part of the country.
Summer fishing for sturgeon on the Big Saskatchewan river and its lake
expansions, may be termed a total failure during the past summer. Both Cedar
and Cumberland lakes w^ere tried out for awhile, but only 2,000 pounds of the
50,000 pound limit was taken. The Nelson river also was ver\' disappointing,
only a little over 30,000 pounds were cauglit. It is felt that the restrictions
placed on the sturgeon fishing by the new regulations were not made any too
soon.
The completion of the new railway under construction to the Flin Flon
Mines, will bring a number of lakes much closer to railhead. Egg lake, the
Cranberry lakes, Athapapuskow, Beaver and Cold lake, all good fishing waters,
will be within easy hauling distance to the railway, and as this is expected to
be c«mplc4ed within the next year, considerable impetus will be given the fishing
industr>' of the district.
The statistical returns for the fishing industry of The Pas district are

A great many of the men fishing in the district are only part time fisher-
men; mining prospecting, and trapping being their chief occupations.
Lake Winnipegosis has produced well during the year, there has been a
slight increase in total catch. When it is considered the winter season was ten
days shorter than that of 1926, and the summer fishing carried on under a
limit, which w^as taken a week before the normal closing time, the increase in
production is fully in proportion to the increased number of men operating.

Lake Dauphin shows a very marked increase over the 1926 production,
with four less men operating. There is an increase from 875 cwt. to 2,313 cwt.
The chief increase is in pickerel, of over one hundred thousand pounds, which
increase took place mostly in the first two month(s of the present season,
November and December, 1927, and can be ascribed to the high waters in the
spring of 1927, allowing a good run of fish from lake Winnipegosis up the
Mossy river.
Lake Manitoba shows a slight decrease in production with two less fisher-
men operating. The total catch is 7,398 cwt. less than 1926.

The decrease is in all varieties excepting whitefish, which shows an increase

This lake is well ser^-ed by railways on both sides, and for that reason
lends itself particularly well to the fresh fish industry, which is becoming more
and more popular. Prices obtained by this method of marketing, are as a rule
much higher than for frozen stock. The present winter however, has been a
disappointment as regards prices for fresh fish. There appears to be some
definite evidence of a combine by New York commission men to keep down
prices, and this is the chief outlet for fresh fish from the province.
Lake St. Martin shows a slight increase over last year in whitefish.
Lake Winnipeg taken all through, this lake has had a most productive year.
With 132 additional operators, the catch of all fish shows an increase of nearly
two million pounds.

It will be seen that with approximately two million pounds increase in pro-
duction over 1926, there is a depreciation in actual market value, of nearly
forty thousand dollars.
Whitefish shows a falling off both in winter and sunomer fishing of 9,000
cwt. while nearly every other variety records a substantial increase. The great-
est increases are in pickerel and tullibee, the former recording an increase of
12,000 cwt. over 1926, and the latter 18.000 cwt. These however suffered the
greatest slump in prices, an average of about 3 cents per pound as paid to
fishermen. The tullibee market was very poor throughout the year, and those
operating extensively, or almost entirely for tullibee, had a poor year in spite
of the good catch. Over a million pounds was placed in cold storage locally,
and in Winnipeg, and much of it did not move until late in the summer and
fall.
The summer whitefish season was rather a disappointment. With the limit
of 3,000,000 pounds fully taken in 1926, a week before the season expired, there
was general optimism for 1927. The catch was very disappointing however,
and was nearly 700,000 pounds short of the limit.

It seems to be fairly generally thought that the decrease in the catch for
this season should not cause any alarm. Unfavourable conditions prevailed;
the season was late in starting, owing to ice, and was rather cold throughout,
which usually keeps the fish from schooling. Indications towards the latter part
of the season were for a marked improvement, and some very big individual
catches were then made.
The fall season was good, with increase in production of both pickerel and
tullibee. The increase in the latter was of course due to the change in. the
regulations allowing the use of tullibee nets from October 20 to the end of the
season. The run of fish was not as heavy as the previous year, but legalizing
the regular tullibee nets for this period compensated for it.

ANGLING
There is a considerable increase in the number of angling licenses issued
during the year: 554 as against 194 in 1926. This is no doubt due to the
inauguration of the one-day dollar permit, and the patrol by a special guardian
throughout the summer of the lakes along the southern Manitoba border. These
lakes do not offer much in the way of variety to the angler, and really nothing
in what may be termed as sport fish. Pike, and in some few instances pickerel
and perch, are taken. Rock lake, lake Killarney, and Oak lake are the favourite
hunting grounds of the North Dakota anglers. Of these lakes, Oak lake has been
the best during the last two years.
During the year there were fifty-four prosecutions in the province, for the
following offences: —
Fishing illegal mesh nets 24
Fishing without permit or license 21
Illegal possession 5
Fishing in close season 3
Sturgeon fishing in prohibited area 1

There were 244 confiscations during the same period. In all, 335 illegal

province,
Mr. Wm. A. Found, Director of Fisheries, visited the province early in May,
with a view to holding conferences with fishermen and dealers. Well-attended
meetings were held at Selkirk, Winnipeg, and Winnipegosis. The fishery regu-
lations were thoroughly reviewed at these meetings, and many valuable sugges-
tions made for changes and amendments, which materially assisted in their
revision and consolidation.
64 MARINE AND FISHERIES
REPORT OF INSPECTOR G. C. MacDONALD, PROVINCE OF
SASKATCHEWAN, FOR 1927-28
During the year there was a commercial production of 57,800 cwt. of fish,
this being an increase of 1,085 cwt. over the previous year. The increases and
decreases in the different species were: —

WHITEFISH
The increase in production of wliitefish was Largely shown from Peter Pond
and Churchill lakes, with a combined catch of 5,742 cwt.; lac la Ronge, 908
cwt.; Dore lake, 1,758 cwi:.; Waterhen lake, 351 cwt.; Turtle lake, 460 cwt.;
and Makwa lake district, 151 cwt., and was generally due to more yardage of
nets. There was also an increase shown from lakes in the Qu'Appelle valley
of 111 cwt., due to the advancing of the winter fishing season and more men
operating.
There was a decrease in whitefish production from Red Deer Lake district
of 1,244 cwt., due to the waters in that area being now included in the National
Park, where no fishing was carried on during the summer or December seasons.
Jackfish lake decreased 336 cwt. due to the restrictions during the summer
season. There was a decrease shown in the He a la Crosse district of 2,366 cwt.
■yf whitefish. Of this araounit Kelly lake would account for 194 cwt., T\''here
fewer nets were used; Churchill river, 50 cwt., where no fishing was carried on
during December; Deep river decreased 237 cwt.; and He a la Crosse proper,
1,855 cwt. Deep river is the connection between He a la Crosse lake and
Churchill lake, the waters flowing from the latter. Near the outlet from
Churchill lake is the connection between that lake and the east end of Peter
Pond^ — locally called Little Buffalo lake. During the early part of December
the run of fish in Deep river was from He a la Crosse lake to Churchill and
Buffalo lakes, due largely to higher water levels. The production on the latter
two lakes was unsually good, and it is claimed a large quantity of the whitefish
taken were Jumbo whitefish and the same species as had been taken on He a
la Crosse lake during previous years, with the result that the fishing on He a la
Crosse lake was unusually poor during the present winter season. This migra-
tion of whitefish has happened on previous occasions in the same area.
There was also a decrease shown of 1,186 cwt. of whitefish on Long lake,
when thirty-four fewer men operated. The decrease in the production may
not only be due to fewer men operating but also to a large closed area against
commercial fisliing, and the water level, being some 4 feet higher, had a groat
effect on the migrating of whitefisli from the closed area to the deeper waters
where fishing was allowed.
There was a decrease shown of 406 cwt. of trout. This was due to no fish-
ing being done on Kingsmere lake (Little Trout) or Crean lake, which have
been taken within the National Park. The decrease of 30 cwt. of sturgeon
was due t(j icviscd regulations prohibiting summer fishing for sturgeon. There
FISHERIES BRANCH 65
was a considerable decrease shown of the coarser species, which was largely due
to the early freeze-up during November, allowing practically all fishing to be
done in deeper waters during the opening of the winter season.
GREEN FISH
There were 2,171 cwt. of fish shipped during the winter season in a green
condition, which w^as an increase of 852 cwt. over the previous year. Of this
amount, 2,071 cwt. were whitefisli and 100 cwt. tuUibee. All of the above fish
were shipped from Jackfish, Turtle, Makwa, and Waterhen lakes in the North
Battleford district.
MARKETS
The total market value of the year's commercial production was $503,609.
This was an increase in value over the previous year of $59,321 and was due
partly to a larger production as well as an increase in the quantity of green fish
shipped during the winter season. The markets during the closing of the
1926-27 winter season became slightly over-supplied, resulting in a quantity of
fish being stored, largely in the United States. At the opening of the 1927-28
winter season the buyers were fairly keen and the season opened with a slight
increase in price over the previous season. It is believed that the general limi-
tations on production on all waters will be a big factor in regulating the markets,
as the amount of fish available will be more definite than in previous years.
The local markets appear to be well looked after, as one large fish company in
particular speciahzes in local distribution of small and mixed shipments.
EQUIPMETNT
The total value of all equipment used during the year in connection with
the commercial operations was $91,967, this being a decrease of $3,727 from
the previous year. There was an increase shown of 580 gill nets valued at
$9,501, and an increase of 2 ice houses on Dore lake.
There was a decrease shown of 7 smoke houses valued at $4,350 all on
Peter Pond lake where there are none shown for the year; a decrease of 2 piers,
3 on Long lake, and an increase of 1 on Okemasis lake. There has been a
decrease of 27 row boats, 1 on Jackfish lake and 20 on Turtle lake, 2 on
Okemasis, 6 on Red Deer, and an increase of 1 on Pierce lake and 1 on Makwa
lake. There was a decrease of 8 gasoline boats, 1 on Jackfish lake, 4 on
Turtle lake, 3 on Okemasis lake. The above decreases were all due to less
summer fishing in the various districts.
CONDITIOX OF FISHERIES
The general condition of the fisheries throughout the province might be
considered as favourable, and a much wider interest is evident, especially
throughout the northern portions of the province, due to some extent to the
scarcity of fur-bearing animals, resulting in an increased number of the native
population fishing. Very few new waters were opened up during the year,
and outside of Pipestone lake the operations during the year were all on waters
that had been fished for a considerable time. Fishing in He a la Crosse lake
dropped off considerably during the month of December, and especially in
whitefish production due to the migration to other waters. Dore lake, which
has been a very large producing water, has improved considerably over the
previous year. Fishing in the Waterhen lake dis-trict shows a slight improve-
ment. Lac la Ronge. which is the largest lake operated, has had an average
production. In Long lake, where the commercial operations have been gradu-
ally restricted, the results were that neither the v.dntcr nor summer limit was
68927—5
66 MARINE AND FISHERIES
reached. Three kkes, Kingsmere (Little Trout) , Crean and Red Deer, have
been taken within the National Park during the year. Over fifty fishermen
who had been operating on these waters during previous years producing a
considerable quantity of whitefisih and trout have since discontinued fishing or
moved to other waters throughout the province. Other waters are retaining
their production at about normal.
OBSEKVANCE OF REGULATIONS
During the year there were 57 prosecutions and a conviction was secured
in all cases, resulting in fines amounting to $277.50 being imposed with addi-
tional court costs of $212.50, as follows: —
Fishing during close season 21
Fishing without a license 15
Offering fish for sale under Dominion license 2
Fishing with illegal apparatus 8
Possession of fish during close season 8
Failing to tag nets when in water 2
Illegal possession of fish 1

Illegally caught fish 18
Legal apparatus 8
42
There were 17 sales of confiscated articles made during the veair, amount-
ing to $229.19.
In Appendix No. 8 will be found full details of the prosecutions for this
province.
FISHWAYS AND DAMS
During the fall of 1926 some of the important fishways in dams in the
southern portion of the province were inspected by the fisheries engineer.
Amongst these were the fishways at Katepwe, Craven and Pasqua, and three
on the Moose Jaw creek near Moose Jaw, and all of which required some minor
alterations. No repairs have been carried out on any of these fishways during
the year. The diam over the Red river at Red Wing was removed during the
spring. The fishway in the Cowan river dam is in good condition, but the
dam will probably require some repairs during the coming season. A new
fishway was installed in the Gravelbourg dam on Wood river. Arrangements
were under way to hiave fishways constructed in small dams on the various
creeks in the Cj'press Hills area but owing to the very high waters during the
entire summer season none of this work was undertaken.
DOMESTIC
There has been a production during the year under domestic net fishing of
14,349 cwt. of fish, this being a decrease of 980 c\^'t. from the previous year.
Whitefish decreased 950 cwt.; trout, 1 cwt.; pickerel, 4 cwt.; tullibce, 219 cwt.]
mullets, 13 cwt.; and mixed fish, 85 cwt. Pike increased 274 cwt, and Golde\'es
18 cwt. The average catch per license was 1,461 pounds as compared with
1,611 pounds the previous year.
ANGLING, 1927
There was an estimated catch of fish by anglers during the year of 23,139
cwt. This is a decrease of 3,776 c\\'l. from the preceding year. There has been
FISHERIES BRANCH 67
43,041 anglers reported, being a decrease of 1,873 from 1926. This decrease
in catch and number of anglers is reported to be largely due to the unfavourable
■weather conditions during the summer season. The average catch per angler
was 54 pounds of fish, as compared with 60 pounds during 1926.
EXAMINATION OF WATERS
There were twenty-four waters examined during the year to determine their
suitability for fish life. Of this number tAventy-one were reported to be suitable.
It is gratifying to be able to rep^ort that as a result of the planting of cisico
or lake herring in Quill lake during the spring of 1924, that about 20O pounds
of this species was taken in nets during this year, and also that 300 pounds of
whitefish were taken from the same lake. Although the first official planting
of whitefish was made during April, 1926, it is presmned that accidentally
whitefish fry got mixed with the cisco planted during 1924.
The staff of fishery officers gave considerable assistance to the Fish Culture
Branch officers during the j^ear.
I regret to report that four of the older fishermen were drow^ned during the
fall, and that none of their bodies have as yet been located.
REPORT OF INSPECTOR R. T. RODD, PROVINCE OF ALBERTA, FOR
1927-28
The commercial catch shows a decrease in both quantity taken and value
as marketed. Market conditions in the spring were poor and this accounts
mostly for the decrease in both quantity and value. There was a practical
cessation of fishing at Buffalo bay and Lesser Slave lakes, where an amount
exceeding 500,000 pike and pickerel was obtained during the spring fishing of
1926. Very stormy weather prevailed during August and September at Lesser
Slave lake, many fishermen reporting the entire loss of equipment.
INCREASES
The most gratifying increase to be recorded for the past season is on lake
Athabasca where the summer fishing for trout was the best on record. While
close to 1,000,000 pounds of trout and whitefish was obtained, almost the entire
amount was caught by one company, a second company starting operations too
late to do much fishing. Reports were received that, owing to the heavy catches,
it was necessary for the operators to stop fishing periodically as they were
unable to handle the fish caught with the limited equipment on hand.
In spite of the great distance from lake Athabasca to Chicago and other
eastern points the shipments of trout and whitefish arrived at their destination
in splendid condition. The trout are of an excellent quality, the flesh being pink
and the fish of uniform size between 7 and 10 pounds, although specimens
exceeding 40 pounds were caught. A small increase in the catch was reported
for the Lac la Biche district and Moose lake for the summer season, and during
the winter season at Pigeon, Lesser Slave, Sturgeon, Primrose and Cold lakes.
Fishing in the latter lake was particularly good, the limit being obtained in
sliglitly under one month's fishing. It is also noted that a large increase is
shown in the Peter Pond lake district in Saskatchewan where there was more
extensive fishing through commercial licenses being granted. Good fishing at
Churchill lake obtained during the first part of the year. This district is in
excellent shape and should last with the present limit for many years to come.
This district shows an increase in the neighbourhood of half a million jiounds,
chiefly of whitefish and pickerel.
68927-5.^
68 MARINE AND FISHERIES
DECREASES
The heaviest decrease recorded is from Lesser Slave lake where the usual
heavy spring fishing, as witnessed the year before, was seriously affected by the
market conditions prevailing. It was reported that the market was glutted
with coarse fish from the other western provinces, hence fishing in Lesser Slave
lake was more or less at a standstill. I have no reason to believe that the lake
is depleted, and without question the present safe limit should be easily obtained.
Lac Ste. Anne and Wabamun show slight decreases, as well as Beaver lake
which was heavily fished the year previous and showed up poorly during 1927.
This lake is considered to be in a depleted condition. The winter operations
show the lakes as producing fairly steady with the exception of Winnifred lake,
which was also too heavily fished the previous winter. Winter prices were
extremely good and market conditions generally excellent.
MARKETS
Spring prices, as already reported in so far as this province was concerned,
were poor and it was almost impossible to dispose of jackfish at any price.
The price for whitefish during the summer was fair and good in the fall.
Athabasca trout are gaining an enviable reputation in the eastern markets and
are standing the long haul from lake to market very well. Extension of this
market may be expected, through larger operations now contemplted at lake
Athabasca. It is expected that three companies will be operating on this lake
for 1928. Three hundred thousand pounds of the trout caught were pan frozen
and shipped after the season closed and were marketed very successfully. It
is stated by one of the companies about to operate that a market was assured
for their whole catch. Winter prices have been very good and the majority
of fishermen and dealers are satisfied with their season's work.
TRANSPORTATION
There has been no great change in this feature over last year, with the
exception of transportation from lake Athabasca to Waterways. The com-
panies operating have invested heavily in equipment for catching and sending
the fish to market in the best condition. Great care is being taken to see that
the fish is properly iced and taken as swiftly as possible from the lake to the
end of steel at Waterways, a distance of over 200 miles. Present developments
comprise three new stern wheel boats, a new freezing plant at the lake, an ice-
making plant at Waterways, and ammonia freezing plants on the barges con-
veying the fish up the Athabasca river, as well as many buildings for the men
and horses. The trail from Cheecham to Peter Pond lake was in good condition
last year, there being plenty of snow to commence operations. The express
companies co-operate well with the fish dealer? and every facility is being
given by the railway companies to see that the fish arrive in the best possible
condition.
EQUIPMENT
As has been previously explained, the Lesser Slave lake fishermen were
heavy loosers both in nets and boats through the bad storms on that lake dur-
ing the fall. Some loss was also felt in piers and wharves through ice move-
ments in the spring. One Edmonton fish company has installed a large cold
storage and freezing plant in Edmonton, using the Ottesen process, with a
storage capacity of six cars. Two companies are desirous of building freezing
plants on Peter Pond lake for summer fishing. Altogether there is a keen
desire evident from all quarters of maintaining and, if possible, improving the
standard of fish exported from Alberta. Cottages and boats were built at Cold
lake to accommodate anglers and there is now ample room for all anglers at
this most popular resort.

IRRIGATION SYSTEMS
Owdng to the heavy rain fall and continued wet weather throughout south-
ern Alberta very little irrigation was required, in fact some of the small systems
were never opened during the summer. No complaints have been received
regarding destruction of fish.
D.\MS AND FISH WAYS
The fishway in the Canadian National Railway's dam at Burbank on the
Blindman river was again taken out by the ice in the spring, owing to high
water during the summer. This could not be repaired until late in the season,
when a new fishway was installed. This was placed to one side of the spillway
and where it is now protected from ice and high water by the wings of the dam.
The fishway in the Canadian Pacific Railway dam in the Vermilion river
at Hazeldine, Alta., has been completed and is in good condition. A new fishway
was also erected in the Canadian National Railway dam in the Lobstick creek
at Leslieville. Repairs were also made on the fishways in the Canadian National
Railway dams in the Verimilion river at Vermilion and Vegreville. The ciam
in Willow creek, owned by the town of Claresholm, was carried away in
September by flood; this has allowed a great quantity of pike and suckers to
ascend to the upper reaches of the creek. This dam was considered beneficial
to the trout fishing, as it prevented the pike and suckers from ascending to that
part of the stream frequented by trout. It will be rebuilt as soon as possible.
The large dams on the Bow river at Bassano and Carseland owned by the
Canadian Pacific Railway and Canada Land and Irrigation Company and the
Eau Claire dam at Calgary, in my opinion have greatly benefitted the trout
fishing in the Bow river and tributaries, as they have prevented innumerable
70 MARINE AND FISHERIES
quantities of pike and suckers from reaching the trout waters. This is especially
so with regard to the first two named, as no trout are found below them, and
that part of the river is infested with very large quantities of pike, suckers
and ling.
ANGLING
Angling throughout the province was not so good as during 1926. This
was not due to the streams being depleted but due to the continued wet weather
through the greater part of the season, which kept most of the roads in an
almost impassable condition and also kept the streams flooded and in a muddy
condition. This was especially so in the southern part of the province. There
were a few short periods when the roads were passable and the streams clear,
when excellent catches were taken especially in the Highwood river. Good
angling was also obtained in Willow creek and in the Old Man river and some
of its tributaries when the water was clear. There was also an increase in the
angling carried on at Cold lake for lake trout. The sale of angling permits was
increased from 643 in 1926, to 926 this season, and the catch taken by anglers
increased from 42,370 pounds to 54,735 pounds. The largest trout taken during
this season was 40 pounds. The angling for pike, perch and pickerel in the
lakes was good and especially so in Lac la Nonne where excellent catches were
taken.
EXAMINATION AND RESTOCKING OF LAKES
Very few lakes were examined during the year with a view to stocking,
only ten being examined by myself and staff. An attempt was made to stock
a few lakes by transfer of adult fish by the st^fiC with the assistance of the
parties interested in the lakes, but very little was accomplished owing to the
bad condition of the roads. Those who agreed to supply the transportation
refused to put their cars over the roads, therefore a number of fish already
trapped for transfer had to be liberated and the work abandoned.
A few facts regarding the stocking of waters with fry from the Banff
hatchery might not be out of place. During October, 1919, Hybernia and
Marjorie lakes in Jasper Park were stocked with rainbow trout fingerlings, 4,000
being liberated in each. Until that time these lakes contained no fish of any
kind. I have while at Jasper recently received numerous reports of very fine
rainbow trout having been caught from Hybernia lake, some weighing up to 4
pounds.
Large rainbow have been seen in Marjorie lake during the spawning season,
but it is claimed they are very difficult to catch. The fish will not take the
artificial bait owing to the great amount of natural food in the lake.
Loch Leven trout up to ten inches in length were taken in the Little Red
Deer river this season, which is the result of stocking since 1924. Rainbow
trout up to 3^ pounds were also taken in the Highwood river, the result of the
stocking during the season 1919 and each year since. About 30 per cent of the
catch from this stream is rainbow trout. These trout are now being taken from
numerous other streams in southern Alberta where they have been liberated
find where none were found previous to stocking from Banff hatchen,'.
REPORT OF CHIEF INSPECTOR MAJOR J. A. MOTHERWELL,
WESTERN FISHERIES DIVISION (BRITISH COLUMBIA) FOR 1927
SALMON
The calendar year of 1927 closed with a total pack of 1,361,977 cases of
salmon, as against 2,065,190 cases in the previous year. The year of 1926
produced the record pack of the province, but the comparison of these two years
FISHERIES BRANCH 71
is not a fair one when endeavouring to arrive at the condition generally of
the salmon industry. The only fair comparison would be by taking the packs
of the several varieties and comparing each with that of the brood year in each
case. A very erroneous impression is created in the minds of the public by
newspaper and other reports being published which do not make the correct
comparison.
The average pack of all varieties for the past five years was 1,641,381
cases and had it not been considered necessary to greatly curtail fishing opera-
tions during the year, undoubtedly the 1927 pack would have almost, if not quite,
equalled the record one of 1926.
The pack of sockeye amounted to 308,052 cases, compared with an average
of 348,442 cases during the past five years.
In the Naas river area the total was 11,986 cases, which is not at all good
although this has never been a remarkably productive sockeye district. Con-
sidering the fact that a considerable portion of the runs of sockeye heading
for the Naas river run the gauntlet of the intensive fishing by traps and seines
in southeastern Alaska, in addition to th'e gear on the Canadian side of the line,
it is not considered surprising that the sockeye pack on the Naas is not being
maintained.
In the Skeena system the total in the case of sockeye was 83,988 cases,
which, particularly in view of the extra measures taken in the way of closed
periods, may be considered as quite satisfacory. There would appear to be no
reason to anticipate that the supply of this variety in the Skeena system cannot
be maintained.
The Rivers and Smiths Inlet district produced a pack of 101,053 cases
of sockeye, which is a very satisfactory showing. Owing to the large number
of gillnet boats being fished it was necessary to enforce an additional nine hour
close period during each week-end of fishing.
The Fraser river again produced an unexpectedly large pack of sockeye,
amounting to 57,085 cases. A considerable portion of this was due to the
unusually late run similar to that which ascended the river in the late fall of
1926. As the sockeye to the Fraser system are predominantly four year fish,
a fair comparison of the pack would be with year 1923, when the total amounted
to 29,423. However a more informative comparison would result from the
inclusion of the catch in the Puget sound area. In 1923, the brood year, the pack
of Puget sound and the Fraser river together was 76,825 cases and in 1927 it
amounted to 153,428 cases, an increase of 100 per cent.
The cohoe pack for the whole province amounted to 162,732 cases, as
against an average for the past five years of 158,978 cases.
The total pinks produced in the province amounted to 247,626 cases, com-
pared with the average of the past six years of 524,413 cases. This shows a
reduction of 80 per cent compared with the brood year of 1925, when the total
was 445,400 cases. The shortage was practically all in the northeTn district.
One suggestion as to the cause of the small runs is that after the eggs were
hatched out in the brood year of 1925 the mortality in fry was unusually heavy,
or that conditions at sea, between the time the fry left for the salt water and
when they returned as mature fish, were such as to permit only a small per-
centage to survive and return to the streams in which they were hatched.
Another suggestion is that very intensive fishing in the areas to the north of
the international boundary has resulted in reducing the quantity of pinks
hatched in British Columbia streams. It has been demonstrated through tag-
ging operations that pinks pass through the Alaskan waters on their way to
the Naas and Skeena districts, and even areas farther south.
The spawning conditions in the pink areas in the brood year of 1925 in the'
north, and particularly in the Central area, were not considered entirely satis-
72 MARINE AND FISHERIES
factory, and in order that the toll during the year under review might not be
such as to further deplete the supply of this variety, unusual precautions were
taken by means of extensions of the weekly close seasons, an entire week's
prohibition of fishing at the height of the run and early closing at the _ end_ of
the season. These measures have undoubtedly produced good results, judging
from the reports on the spawning areas — apart from the Central area — which
have been received from the officers making annual inspections. Undoubtedly
the pink situation will require to be well taken care of until it has recovered.
In the Fraser river district the pack of pinks was greater than in the brood
year by approximately 3,000 cases, due to an enormous run.
Chums were very plentiful over most of the British Columbia coast during
the year and the quantity taken amounted to 563,194 cases, compared with an
average during the past five years of 567,741 cases. This total is eminently
satisfactory, considering the fact that from two to three weeks of the best chum
fishing at the height of the run was cut off, due to the unusual restrictions as
a result of the enormous amount of fishing gear in the water. There is no doubt
but that had not these unusual restrictions been put into force the pack of
chums would have been a record one.
The previous warning to the industry to tlie effect that continued fishing
operations would result iri drastic conservation measures did not have the
desired effect and each year the quantity of gear in the water has increased,
and in addition the methods of operating purse-seines, for instance, have become
much more efficacious.
The salmon gill-net licenses have increased during the past four years
53 per cent, salmon trolling 99 per cent, and salmon purse-seines 128 per cent.
Obviously this keen and uneconomic scramble for the salmon, if permitted to
continue unchecked, would in a very short time result in the serious depletion
of the runs. Both the salmon fishermen and canners appear to have finally
reached the conclusion that this unreasonable competition can only result in
disaster, and there would appear to be good reason to expect that the coming
year will see salmon-fishing operations conducted on a more economical and
reasonable basis.
The greatest difficulty, of course, is with the pink variety. The sockeye
are being well taken care of and the cohoe and chums usually arrive at the
spawning streams at a time when weather and water conditions are such as to
permit a reasonable escapement. In the case of the pinks, however, the situation
is much more difficult as they often arrive at the spawning streams in the hot-
test and driest time of the year. If there is not sufficient water in the streams,
the salmon play about outside and are an easy prey to seines, unless practically
a day and night efficient patrol is provided at every pink spawning stream in
the province. With the proposed new measures in the way of cutting off inlets
and moving out of boundaries, much assistance will be given towards conser-
vation, but there can never be any assurance that it will not be necessary'' on
short notice to close all fishing for pinks or even any other variety for consider-
able periods, in order to maintain the supply.
HALIBUT
The catch of halibut landed in British Columbia totalled 300,532 cwt. in
1927, as against 315,095 cwt. in tiic previous vcar. Statement No. 7 gives the
total from 1913 to 1927.
It woulfl not appear that the close season of three months each year during
the past three seasons has had the eftVct of materially reducing the (juantity
landerl.
Indications would seem to warrant the expectation that prices on the
reopening of the season next spring will not be particularly attractive to the
FISHERIES BRANCH 73
fishermen. This is largely due to the fact that the stocks of frozen halibut
have not been completely disposed of, and it is not likely that prices for the
fresh article will be particularly satisfactory to the fishermen until the stocks
of frozen halibut have been sold.
It has been suggested that the reason for the large stocks of frozen halibut
is that the market in the east has turned of recent years to the several varieties
of filleted fish produced on the Atlantic coast.
HERRING
As will be seen by statement No. 8, a very large percentage of the herring
caught is drysalted and shipped to the Orient, the principal market being in
China. Ten thousand four hundred and sixty-six tons were used in reduction
works plants. In the vicinity of 2,000 tons is frozen each year at Prince Rupert,
Butedale, Vancouver, and Kildonan for the purpose of bait for the halibut
fishing. A smaller quantity is used fresh for the purpose and a comparatively
infinitesimal quantity finds its way to the fresh fish markets and the smoke
houses. Although efforts have been made to build up a paying business in the
canning and also the Scotch curing of this variety, it has not been found profit-
able.
The interesting statement No. 8 gives the records of the drysalt herring
pack from 1918-27. The fluctuation is not necessarily due to lack of supply,
but is largely caused by the unstable market conditions in China, due largely
to the internal troubles of that country. The supply of raw product naturally
has fluctuated from year to year, but there is no evidence that the runs of her-
ring to the British Columbia coast are becoming depleted in any way.
WHALING
The two stations at Naden Harbour and Rose Harbour at the northern
and southern extremities of the Queen Charlotte Island group were operated
again this year, with a catch of 258 whales as against a total of 269 for the
preceding year.
Statement No. 10 covers the catch from 1918 to 1927.
FUR SEAL SKINS
Statement No. 11 shows a very large fluctuation in catches between the
years 1912 and 1927. Prices naturally very materially influence the activities
of the Indians, who are the only ones permitted under the Pelagic Sealing
Treaty to take fur seal skins. During the last two years, for instance, the
prices have averaged about $8 per skin to the Indians, and in view of such
small returns, the weather conditions during the migration of the fur seals, and
the profitable business of trollin'g for salmon, the catch last year fell off 50
per cent. No doubt also the more efficient patrol which was available for the
purpose of protecting the fur seals had something to do with keeping the total
down.
DESTRUCTION OF SEA LIONS
On June 7, the C.G.S. Givenchy, equipped with a Lewis gun, long Ross
rifles, .22 calibre rifles and .22 and .32 calibre automatic pistols (the smaller
firearms being used primarily for the pups) and accompanied by Mr. W. E.
Maiden, Secretary of the British Columibia Fishermen's Protective Association,
an expert machine-gunner, left for the vicinity of the Virgin and Pearl rocks
to again do what was possible during the pupping time of the sea lions to reduce
their numbers. Considerable difficulty was again experienced owing to the heavy
seas running, wliich made operations extremely difficult and hazardous, the
74
MARINE AXD FISHERIES
rookeries being very low and exposed to the full sweep of the Pacific ocean.
Undoubtedly the use of short Lee-Enfield rifles would be much more efficient, in
that they are shorter and lighter and more convenient to handle, in comparison
with the Ross variety. It has not been possible to date, however, to obtain the
Lee-Enfield.
The total number destroyed since the commencement of these operations
is as follows: —

The officer commanding the expedition reports that yearlings and two-year-
olds were found to be practically extinct, during the last hunt, which condition
he attributes to the large numtber of pups killed during previous operations. He
further states that the rocks were found to be practically monopolized by old sea
lions of both sexes, but in numbers considerably less than in previous yeai^.
Mr. Maiden states that he observed fresh fish bones on tbe Virgin rocks on the
date of one raid, but that these were not present on the date of the previous
one. This he feels to be evidence to show that the sea lions were feeding on
fish, although it is understood that during the pupping season thes'e animals
do not take food.
A sample of sea lion blood was obtained and forwarded to the Biological
Station.
The fishermen in the vicinity again signified their approval of the hunting
operations by means of gifts or cigars to the members of the crew.
PATKOL SERVICE
In view of the immense increase in the number of fishermen and the
quantity of fishing gear operated during the year, particularly in the case of
salmon, and the resultant keen competition, the difficulties of the patrol service
were largely increased and it is felt that if proper measures are to be taken
looking to the conservation of our salmon supply, particularly, several of the'
present overseers' areas must be considerably reduced, and more of these
permanent officers appointed. Each should be eciuipped with an efficient depart-
mentally owned boat and these boats will require to be kept in commission a
longer period each season in order that the overseers can give better attention
to the immensely important problem involved in the inspection and care of the
spawning grouncls. During the fishing season the duties in the way of protection
and other relative matters consume all the time of the overseers, and it is only
after the season is over that it is possible for them to undertake a really satis-
factory inspection of the numerous salmon streams in each area.
The insjpections by guardians and patrolmen are very often unsatisfactory
owing to the far't that these officers are usually new men each year. Obviously
their lack of experience and information with regard to conditions of previous
years detracts very greatly from the value of their reports. The only hope we
have of obtaining satisfactory information is by keeping the overseers and
f?everal of the departmcntally owned patrol boats on duty for considerably
longer periods. Even by that arrangement the inspections cannot be entirely
FISHERIES BRANCH 75
satisfactory due to the fact that one officer cannot hope to thoroughly examine
all salmon streams in his district during the time the salmon are spawning.
This task is physically impoissible.
Fortunately some seaplane s;ervice was provided and although not sufficient,
at the same time the moral effect of there being even one plane available to the
administration cannot be over-estimated, but if the industry finds that only
the limited service which can be expected from one plane is available, it will
soon realize the limitations and a considerable portion of the value of the moral
effect will be lost. As evidence of the efficacy of the air service in the way of
fishery protection, I would refer to the resolution presented at a recent fisher-
men's meeting in Prince Rupert to the effect that an adequate air service should
be provided by the department for the protection of the fisheries, as the fisher-
men themselves felt it to be the most effective arm of the service.
The lowest possible minimum sei-vice consistent with reasonable results
would be two planes capable of service at all times, which would obviously
necessitate a third in reserve. Commencing with the opening of the fishing in
the north, one plane is required with headquarters at Prince Rupert and another
with headquarters in the vicinity of Swanson bay. Later one of these could
probably be transferred to the Queen Charlotte island area and the other farther
south to possibly Alert bay or Quathiaski cove. Much, of course, depends upon
the class of aircraft used and it is necessary' to have eonsiderable speed, a
high ceiling and the ability to withstand a certain amount of sea.
The service provided during the pasit year was fifty flying hours to start
with, which amount was later increased by 42 hours, 2 minutes, making a total
of 92 hours, 2 minutes. The distance travelled was approximately 5,223 miles.
The boat patrol service was taken care of by twenty-two Departmentally
owned power boats, ninety chartered power boats and twelve row boats. The
Malaspina during the season logged 18,958 miles and the Givenchy, 16,190. The
latter boat was again used in connection with lifesaving on the west coast of
Vancouver island with headquarters at Bamfield.
One of the patrol boats ow^ned by the department, the F.P.L. Cloyah was
destroyed as a result of an explosion in the engine room. The crew were
fortunate in being able to make their escape in the tender, the engineer suffering
severe bums about the face and hands.
For the purpose of replacing worn out patrol boats, tenders were called
for three fifty-two footers powered with sixty-five horse-power Thornycroft
reduction geared gas engines. It is hoped that by using this variety of engine
there will be much less vibration and that the noise of the ex'haust will not be
such a handicap as in the case of the Diesel powder boats. In these cases the
exhaust can be heard a very considerable distance and is a warning to those
breaking the fisheries regulations and gives them an opportunity to escape.
It is also expected that the greater cost of fuel for the reduction geared gasoline
engines will be more than offset by the lower cost of replacements in engine
parts.
These three boats were designed and specifications prepared by Mr. J. W.
Allen, Gas Engine Foreman, whose duties include looking after the annual over-
haul and upkeep of the patrol boats, as well as seeing that the chartered boats
give their proper performance. His knowledge is also utilized by other depart-
ments of the Government.
REGULATIONS
As was expected the salmon fishing particularly during the year became .
more intensive than ever in the past and this fact called for extraordinary
measures to the end that a satisfactory supply of parent salmon might be per-
mitted to reach the spawning grounds.
76 MARINE AND FISHERIES
It became necessary to increase weekly close seasons for sockeye fishing
in the northern areas from forty-eight to a total of fifty-seven hours on the
Skeena river for two week e'nds, and during the w^hole of the fishing season on
Rivers and Smiths inlets. For the purpose of saving the run of pinks which
showed evidence of being light, a special close period from August 26 to Septem-
ber 4 was applied to all fishing gear, apart from salmon trolling in the whole
of the province, with the exception of that area through which the salmon
proceed in passing to the Fraser river spawning grounds.
At the end of the season, in order- to save a reasonable quantity of chums
and cohoes for the spawning areas, fishing in all of District No. 2 was finally
stopped on September 23, with the exception of the Queen Charlotte Islands,
where the date was set at October 7. These dates compare with October 15
and October 22 respectively in the previous season, the time allowed for fishing
being reduced in 1927 by approximately three weeks.
In District No. 3 in addition to the special close period from August 26 to
September 4, all fishing was closed from two to three weeks earlier at the end
of the season.
The result of the above closures was that a comparatively satisfactory
quantity of pink salmon were able to pass up to the spawning grounds, with the
exception of certain portions of the Central area and in the Naas. An examina-
tion of the spawning grounds of the Skeena watershed showed a very con-
siderable run of pinks had either succeeded in passing up the river during the
special close season or were very late in arriving, which permitted their reach-
ing the spawning areas.
An excellent supply of chums and cohoes was saved for the spawning
streams over the whole province, with the exception of some of the streams on
the Queen Charlotte Islands. The inspector for District No. 3 reports that the
run of chums was unusually heavy through his district, particularly in certain
.portions of the west coast of Vancouver island, where the quantity was the
largest on record.
On the Fraser river and in the waters through which salmon are obliged
to pass heading for the Fraser, and the immediate vicinity, the weekly close
period was increased from time to time very materially resulting in reason-
ably good spawning conditions.
There is no doubt but that had not these unusual precautions been taken
the huge quantity of gear in the water and the intensity with which it wasj
fished would have resulted in a very serious situation. The inspection of the
spawning areas, however, showed that the extra restrictions had obtained the
desired result.
If the industry continues to place such huge quantities of gear in the
water, then the fishing restrictions must be greatly increased, even at the
expense of profits to fishermen and canners. The fish must be given the bene-
fit of the doubt from a conservation standpoint. In any event, it is imperative
that certain inlets be cut off entirely, that salmon purse-seines be reduced in
size and that all fishing be kept farther out from the mouths of streams.
VIOLATIONS OF FISHERY REGULATIONS
There were one hundred and sixty-six prosecutions entered for violations
of the fishery regulations during the season. Particulars of these will be found
in appendix No. 8.
POWER BOATS IN SALMON GILL-NET FISHING DISTRICT NO. 2
Although there was an increase of 549 salmon gill-net licenses issued in
District No. 2, the number of power boats used in these operations increased
FISHERIES BRANCH 77
only 45, being 630 as against 576 for the preceding year. The above total
compares with 85 only used in 1924. Only white British subjects and Cana-
dian Indians are permitted to operate power boats in District No. 2 in salmon
gill-net operations.
CLEARING OBSTRUCTIONS IN SALMON STREAMS
Each season as this work is extended the necessity for it becomes more
apparent. An endeavour is made to haVe a thorough examination of every
salmon stream in the province once a year, but this has been found very diffi-
cult owing to the fact that officers are required to supervise such large districts,
and the conditions in the wild country through which the inspection has to be
conducted are so arduous as to consume a great deal of time and is expensive.
Every obstruction which is reported either by the fishery officers or the fisher-
men or from any source is immediately investigated and if it is possible for
the local officer to do what is necessary, his instructions are to always take out
the obstructions. If however, assistance is required such is provided in the
way of men, powder or other facilities, and if the conditions warrant, an inspec-
tion is made at the first opportunity by one of the engineers and arrangements
made for the most practical way of dealing with the situation. Much time is
lost, however, in inspections resulting from reports by people who are not sure
of their information. Again, log jams for instance which would appear to many
observers to be an obstruction to the ascent of salmon often prove to be just
the reverse, and while not impeding the progress of the parent fish to the spawn-
ing grounds, are often a protection to the young fish coming down and serve
also as collectors of food for the young.
At Hells Gate canyon in the Eraser river conditions since the clearing away
of the slide which occurred in 1913 have remained unchanged and those who
have been in the best position to know, have felt that the salmon runs have all
.succeeded in passing up to their spawning grounds, although, due to unfavour-
able stages of the water, there may have been hours or even days when they
were delayed. In spite of several reports to the effect that the fish were per-
nianently blocked, or were so badly damaged at the Gate as to prevent their
.reaching the spawning grounds in fit condition there would appear to be no
,doubt but that the salmon did get through this obstruction, at least, until the
very last runs of the seasons 1926 and 1927. In fact, there is every reason to
believe that all the 1926 run succeeded in passing this point. However during
the last two seasons there has developed an unusually late run of sockeye which
has arrived at Hells Gate in a very advanced stage towards spawning. The
condition of this run in the fall of 1927 was found to be even worse than that
of the preceding season and whilst there was no unassailable evidence to justify
the conclusion that any run was permanently prevented from ascending, there
is very considerable doubt as to whether the latest run of 1927 did actually
succeed. It has been suggested that the lack of male fish in the Kakawa lake
spawning area for instance, which is tributary to the Coquihalla system, is
evidence that they were probably able to pass Hells Gate, but that the female,
being weaker, were obliged to turn back and passed up to the Kakawa lake
spawning grounds. It is hoped that investigations will divulge the facts in this
matter in the very near future.
Following the experiences of 1926 it was felt that in order that there might
be absolutely no doubt as to conditions at Hells Gate being as good as they
could possibly be made for the ascent of salmon, the department arranged for
a board composed of civil engineers in the employment of the several branches
of the federal and provincial governments in British Columbia to study the
situation and advise as to whether in its opinion conditions could be improved.
Obviously, considerable time is required for such a study in order that it may
78 MARINE AND FISHERIES
be thorough and the results conclusive. It is expected that early in the season
of 1928 a report from the board '^dll be available to the department. The
engineers' report in more detail will be found in appendix No. 4.
MEETING OF O^^RSEERS
The practice of gathering together before the fishing season each year all
the inspectors, overseers and a number of guardians for a conference of several
days at the office of the chief inspector in Vancouver is proving its value more
and more each season, and it is the intention to continue these meetings.
FISH MEAL AND OIL OPERATIONS
Four additional licenses for reduction works plants were issued during the
year, making a total of twenty-seven in all. This business has proved to be
fairly profitable generally speaking and should continue to be one of the most
important branches of the fishing industry of the province. Pilchards again
composed a very great percentage of the raw product processed, although
herring were permitted to be used for this purpose up to December 31 on the
west coast of Vancouver island, north of Barclay sound, and in District No. 2.
In addition the offal from salmon canneries and freezing plants as well as whale
carcasses are used in these operations.
An earnest effort was made by several of the operators to obtain their
supply of pilchards in the open seas, instead of waiting for them to enter inlets
as has been done heretofore. Fishing outside, however, requires specially
equipped boats and unusually strong gear, but due to weather conditions the
experiments were found to be unprofitable.
Statement No. 9 shows the total production of fish meal and oil since 1920.
MARINE WAY.? AND WAREHOT'SE
The department maintains a well-equipped machine shop and ways on the
Fraser river at Poplar Island, New Westminster, where many of the depart-
mentally owned boats receive their annual overhaul and are repaired from
time to time during the season. It has been found that the facilities so pro-
vided have been the means of saving a good deal of money and have increased
the efficiency of the service generally. The patrol boats of the Fraser river
use the floats at this station and some others from outlying points are also laid
up there when out of eommission. This, of course, does not apply to the boats
of the northern district, which are brought at the end of the season to Digby
island at Prince Rupert. Unfortunately, however, at that point there is no
adequate accommodation provided for the protection of the department's valu-
able fleet, and it is hoped that in the very near future proper facilities will be
proyided.
UNNATURALIZD WHITE RESIDENT FISHERMEN
The department's polic}^ which permits white immigrants who have recently
come to the country to take out fishing licenses on the production of the proper
evidence to the effect that they arc in fact permanent residents and will become
naturalized just as soon as the law will permit has resulted in, up to the end of
1927, the issuing of 1,046 such licenses, to 940 fishermen.
SPORT FISH
The protection of the sport fish, particularly in the interior of the province,
is becoming more difficult each year, due largely to the opening up of good
motor roads and the resultant increased tourist traffic in the province. With
FISHERIES BRANCH 79
the machinery at present available, it is absolutely impossible to adequately
protect the fish of the interior waters The proper organization in the way of
overseers or guardians, or both, will undoubtedly materially increase the expense
of the British Columbia administration, but such additional expense is absolutely
imperative if this valuable asset is to be properly conserved.
SPECIAL INQL'IRY INTO SALMON FISHING CONDITIONS
As a result of conditions brought about by the excessive amount of salnion
fishing gear in the water which caused very necessary curtailment of fishing
operations for purposes of conservation, the industry, both fishermen and can-
ners, felt that conditions warranted approaching the department with a view
to the appointment of a commission to inquire into the British Columbia situa-
tion. It was contended that under the conditions existing salmon fishing opera-
tions were proving unprofitable to both fishermen and canners.
It was felt, however, by the department that the time was not opportune
for the appointment of a commission, particularly in view of the fact that the
federal authority wdth regard to control of certain branches of the fishing indus-
try had been challenged and the question referred to the Supreme Court of
Canada for an opinion. It was decided, however, that as the Director of
Fisheries was on the coast at the time, he should arrange for public hearings
with a view to enabling all those interested to express their views on certain
specific proposals which were finally submitted by certain canners who
approached the department on behalf of the Salmon Canners' Association.
The delegation composed of fishermen and canners who approached the
department explained that, while it might be expected that those engaged in
fishing operations should remedy the situation themselves, they found it impos-
sible under the existing regulations to agree on any plan, but expressed con-
fidence that in the light of the season's experience the fishermen, as well as
canners, would favour certain modifications in the regulations which, while not
involving refusal of licenses to any, would enable the industry to do its utmost,
at its own instance, to make reasonable reductions in the amount of equipment
used, and otherwise reduce the cost of operations.
The delegation felt that this could be done if the regulations included pro-
visions to the following effect:—
(1) That the coast of British Columbia be divided into fishing areas of such
proportion as to support the plants in these areas.
(2) That the maximum amount of gear to be fished in each area before
additional weekly or annual closed season would be added be stated in
the regulations.
(3) That salmon — except the catches of trollers or fish for export, fresh
fish markets or cold storage — be processed in the area in which it is
caught.
With a view to obtaining the opinion of the industry generally on the above
three proposals, meetings were held at Prince Rupert, Alert Bay, Campbell
River, Union Bay, Nanaimo, Port Albcrni, Pender Harbour, Vancouver, and
New Westminster.
No definite action was possible, however, by the department before the
expiration of the calendar year, in view of the fact that the Prince Rupert fisher-
men asked for more time for consideration of the several proposals.
TAGGING OF SALMON
The information which is obtainable from the tagging of salmon is of such
immense importance that the program should, without delay, be extended to
cover all varieties of salmon and at as many favourable points as it is possible
80 MARINE AND FISHERIES
to obtain the fish. Each season the necessity for obtaining such information
becomes more apparent, and the result of a really comprehensive system as
above suggested would enable conservation measures to be taken in a much
more intelligent manner. The importance of this matter cannot be too strongly
stressed.

REPORT ON SALMON SPAW^NING AREAS, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Queen Charlotte Islands
At Masset inlet, Naden harbour and the north coast of Graham island
generally, the water conditions when the salmon arrived were favourable. The
sockeye run, which in this area is an early and small one, was normal and
appeared to reach the spawning grounds somewhat earlier than usual. This
being the off year for pinks there was no showing of this variety. Chum salmon
were late in arriving which fact, added to the unusual early closing of the
commercial fishing, enabled very satisfactory quantities to reach the spawning
grounds.
At Skidegate inlet several of the streams were fairly well seeded, but on
the whole the quantities reaching the spawning areas were not satisfactory.
Along the east coast of the Queen Charlotte islands south of Skidegate, the
supply of salmon reaching the spawning areas was, in the opinion of the
inspecting officer, not sufficient.
Nass River Area
The annual inspection of the Meziaden watershed of the Nass river revealed
evidence of a very small run of early sockeye. A late run, however, materialized,
which, with the favourable water conditions present, will provide a fair natural
seeding, but it is doubtful whether it will offset the lack of early salmon.
The spring salmon run also was not up to the average and the fish appeared
to be smaller in size than usual. Cohoes had not arrived in appreciable numbers
at the time of the inspection. Climatic conditions appeared to be about one
month later than usual.
The pink run to the lower areas of the system was very light.
Skeena River Area
The examination of the Babine Lake district, which is the main spawning
area of the S'keena watershed, showed quite a good supply of sockeye. At
Morrison Creek, for instance, on which the hatchery is situated, the run was
estimated by the superintendent to be 25 per cent greater than that of the
previous year. An examination of the sockeye streams tributary to Babine
lake showed conditions on the whole quite satisfactory.
At Lakelse Lake conditions were found to be far from satisfactory^ and it
was not possible to obtain sufficient sockeye eggs to fill the hatchery. It is
difficult to account for this situation unless it was due to the particular tribe of
salmon heading for Lakelse arriving in Chatham sound and Skeena river at the
height of the fishing season and being mostly caught. From conditions found
on the Lakelse spawning grounds in the brood years the small return \v:is not
expected.
FISHERIES BRANCH 81
■ In the case of pink salmon the catch in the river and Chatham sound was
very considerably below normal. An examination of the spawning grounds in
the Babme river, however, which is probably the most important area from the
standpoint of this variety, showed them to be unusually well seeded with pinks.
The guardian states that while the usual portion oi the river used by these
salmon was probably more heavily seeded than during the last few years, addi-
tional areas of the river were also heavily seeded so that the run of pinks to the
Lower Babine during 1927 was the greatest that he had ever known.
The supply of cohoes was well up to the average.
Central Area
The sockeye running to this area are mostly of the creek variety utilizing
the numerous small streams which drain a limited area. During the period of
dry weather these streams dry very rapidly and conditions as a result for fish
ascending to the spawning grounds are very difficult, and at times impossible,
necessitating drastic regulations to prevent the runs being depleted.
The overseer reports that the sockeye run on the whole has been satisfactory,
and that the cohoe streams were well seeded. Due probably largely to the
unusual amount of close period enforced during the year, very considerable
quantities of chums were enabled to ascend the streams. In the case of pink
salmon however, the supply was very disappointing and few streams only can
be said to be well seeded. This condition will require special attention during
the fishing season of 1929.
Bella Coola and Kimsquit
The run of sockeye to the Bella Coola portion of the district was again
good during the year. It was later than usual, however in reaching the lakes.
The supply each year since 1924 has been good. At Kimsquit, however, the
sockeye run is reported as having been considerably below average. The spawn-
ing areas were not well seeded.
The run of springs was late at Bella Coola and although there was not a
large quantity caught, yet there was a very satisfactory escapement to the
spawning grounds. This condition was no doubt partly due to the early closing
of fishing. The supply of this variety in the Kimsquit river was not satisfactory.
It is estimated that the supply of cohoe ascending the rivers at the head of
Bella Coola and Kimsquit was not sufficient to adequate^ seed the respective
spawning areas.
In the case of pinks there was a reasonably good showing at the head of
Burke channel, but an inadequate supply at the head of Dean.
The run of chums was not good to either of these points.
The fluctuation in the supply of salmon at these two points is affected very
materially by unusually severe freshets which cause the rivers to frequently
change their course and which often scour out the spawning grounds.
The conditions in the lower portions of both Burke and Dean channels are
such as will necessitate some further action looking to conservation.
Rivers Inlet Area
This is primarily a sockeye area and the usual inspection justifies the state-
ment that the spawning grounds were well seeded with this variety. In spite
of the intensive fishing in the Inlet the run is being satisfactorily maintained and
there would appear to be no reason to fear depletion.
Smiths Inlet Area
There appears to be no doubt but that the supply of sockeye reaching the
spawning grounds in Smiths inlet during the season has been eminently satis-
factory and with the present fishing regulations and boundaries there should be
no fear for future supplies.
68927—6
82 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Alert Bay District
The main sookeye areas are the Nimpkish river and Glendale cove. Not-
withstanding the intensive fishing by purse-seines and drag-seines at Nimpkish
restrictions in force each year are resulting in large quantities reaching the
spawning grounds. The season under review was no exception and although
the pack of this variety amounted to approximately 9,000 cases an abundance
of fish safely passed up the river. At Glendale cove the supply was not so
satisfactory.
Water conditions in the area generally resulted in the streams being suffi-
ciently high to permit all varieties of salmon to pass up to the spawning grounds
instead of being delayed at the mouths of creeks. The runs of pinks on the
whole were light. Conditions, however, were better in the case of cohoe and
also the chum salmon. The early closing undoubtedly had the effect of per-
mitting an abundant supply of both these varieties reaching their spawning
grounds.
Quathiaski District
This is not an important sockeye area although there is a run to Phillips
arm, Port Neville and another to Hayden bay, the latter being composed of very
small fish, however. The supply was light. The run of cohoes cannot be said
to be satisfactory, although good at Orford river at the head of Bute inlet where
the gillnet fishermen had a successful season. The supply of pinks at Orford
river is reported by the overseer as the best he has seen in that district. In
other portions of the area, however, the supply of this variety was not satis-
factory.
To such rivers as the Homalko, Orford, Village Bay, Hayden Creek, the
supply of chums was very good. In other portions of the district, however, con-
ditions were not satisfactory.
Comox District
This is not a sockeye area. In the case of the cohoes, the spawning grounds
were not well seeded with the exception of the Puntledge and Tsolem rivers.
This was the off year, however, for pinks and no run of any material size was
expected. Quite a satisfactory supply of springs passed up the Puntledge river
and the fishway in the stream at the outlet of Comox lake appeared to be no
obstacle to the ascent. The chum supply was good in the Puntledge river,
Waterloo creek, Cooks creek, Big Qualicum river and Englishmen's river.
It is expected that the new regulations which will be enforced in the Comox
area will result in a greater supply of the several varieties reaching the spawning
grounds.
Pender Harbour District
This is not a sockeye area apart from a small run proceeding to
Saginaw which apparently is being well maintained. The supply of pinks on the
whole was good and there would appear to be no doubt but that a portion of the
large run coming north through Pugct sound in the odd number years proceeds
to the Pender Harbour district, particularly to the vicinity of Jervis inlet. The
overseer observes that at Toba inlet, Thcodosia arm and in two of the streams
in Jervis inlet the run can be said to have been far better than any since 1924,
which is the year he assumed patrol of the district. Owing to the continued
heavy rains throughout the season the pinks were able to ascend the streams
easily and the catches by the purse-seines were liglitcr than usual, as the fish
did not school up at the mouths of the creek as is the case in the dry weather.
The run of chums on the whole was also a good one and the high water
in the streams permitted an abundance of fish to reach the spawning grounds.
This also applies to the cohoes.
FISHERIES BRANCH 83
Nanaimo District
The inspecting officer reports that, generally speaking, the run of cohoes
and chums was better than any season during the past ten years. Heavy runs
and the early closing regulations permitted large quantities to ascend to the
spawning grounds. The supply of spring salmon and steelhead trout was also
satisfactory.
Cowichan District
The supply of spring salmon iiinning to the Cowichan river was below
normal. This fact is attributed in part at least to the water! conditions in the
river four years previously, when the Cowichan and all streams in the district
were abnormally low. In that j^ear the superintendent of the Cowichan Lake
hatchery was obliged to come down as far as Duncan for spring salmon eggs
as no fish could pass above Skutz falls. During the next three years however,
the run of springs has been good and the water conditions also satisfactory.
The supply of the several varieties of sporting fish is reported as having
been excellent.
Sooke District
A satisfactory supply of chums and cohoes reached the several streams in
this area and were able to pass up to the spawning grounds. The local guardian
reports the supply as being heavier than for the past three or four seasons.
Alberni District
This area includes Stamp river and Sproat river,. Anderson river in Barclay
sound, and Hobarton and Cheewat rivers in Nitinat inlet, all of these being
frequented by sockeye. The overseer reports the season as being a banner
one for the district. 79,069 sockeye were canned and some 12,000 fish of this
variet}'-- were shipped to Vancouver for processing. Undoubtedly this desirable
condition has been brought about by the eft'orts of the department in the way
of fishery regulations, coupled with fish culture. The runs of sockeye to the
Sproat and Stamp rivers has been increasing very materially of recent years
and in view of the fact that an adequate fishway has been installed at the
Stamp River falls there is every reason to believe that there will always be a
very good run of this variety to the district. The supply reaching Anderson
lake where the hatchery is situated was estimated by the superintendent at
80,000 spawning fish, a most encouraging figure.
The run of spring salmon was the best in years, the supply of cohoe also
"being good. In the case of the chums, in spite of the season being closed two
weeks earlier than usual the record total of 1,155,569 fish was taken. The
streams were in good condition and the salmon had no difficulty in ascending
to their spawning grounds.
The streams flowing into Nitinat inlet were generally speaking well sup-
plied with salmon.
Clayoquot Sound
The main stream is the Kennedy river draining Kennedy lake, where a
hatchery is maintained. For some reason or other there was a small supply
of sockeye on the spawning grounds. The pack taken by the several seines
operating in Clayoquot sound opposite Kennedy river accounted for a little
over 4,000 cases which is an average pack for the district. It would appear
that four years hence unusual methods must be taken to further protect this
run.
Practically all the streams in the Clayoquot sound area were heavily
seeded with both cohoes and chums. Altogether it would appear to have been
an eminently satisfactor\' season from the standpoint of spawning fish. The
overseer comments that the quantity of chums was the largest ever observed in
ihat district. This is not a pink area.
68927-6i
84 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Nootka District
The fall varieties are the only ones frequenting this area apart from a
small run of sockeye to Gold river. The supply of springs on the spawning
grounds of the Burman and Gold rivers was satisfactory. Other portions of
the district, however, were not so good. The cohoe supply was not up to aver-
age apart from such points as Deserted creek, Tahsis river and Queens cove.
In the case of chums the run was a heavy one to practically all streams.
This is not a pink area.
Kyuquot Sound District
No sockeye run to this district apart from the stream at the head of Ou-
Ou-Kinch inlet where a very fair run was observed between May and August,
and Easy creek, where only a few were observed.
The supply of spring salmon was considerably below normal and unsatis-
factory. The same might be said of the cohoe. In the case of chums, however,
a good supply reached the spawning grounds. This is not a pink area.
Quatsino District
There are no sockeye in this area apart from a few of the early creek
variety. The supply of cohoes was only fair. The chums, however, although
light at first, finally developed into a good run< which owing to the high state
of the streams, and the early closing of fishing were able to reach their spawn-
ing grounds.
Fraser River Watershed
The officers in the Stuart lake area, while not reporting any large body
of sockeye, undoubtedly observed a quantit}'- which wrs a fair average of the
last five years. The greatest number appear to have passed up to Trembluer
and Takla lakes, tributary to the Stuart.
In the Francois Fraser lake system there have been very few sockeye
observed for years, and the officer reporting for the season under review men-
tions schools of from four to fifty at separate points. The number can be con-
sidered a fair average.
In the Quesnel lake system conditions were found to be better than usual.
During the past two or three years indications have justified the conclusion
that the quantity of spawning fish was increasing, although compared with the
huge runs of the big years previous to the slide at Hells Gate, the quantities
observed in recent seasons are infinitesimal. However, during the fall of 1927
our inspecting officer, instead of reporting schools of twenty, thirty and forty
as reported during previous years,, observed as many as 3,000 sockeye in one
hole in- the Horsefly river in the vicinity of Black creek, some thirty miles
above Quesnel lake. He estimates that he personally saw between six and
seven thousand fish during his inspection which is a much more encouraging
'report than has been received since the big runs.
The Chilco area shows no improvement over recent years. The Shuswap
area again received a very good supply of spawning sockeye in the Adams
and Little river districts. The run was again late and while not as large as
the preceding year was most encouraging. No sockeye were observed above
the Adams river. Indications along the shores of the south Thompson river
were better than for a good many years, one large ranch o\\'ner stating that it
was the first season for a considerable number of years that he has been obliged
to prevent his hogs approaching the river owing to the fact that there were
such large quantities of dead salmon along the shores.
At Bridge River canyon in the Fraser the guardian reports that no unusu-
ally large run of sockeye passed through his area, notwithstanding the large
quantities which have been observed from time to time until quite late in the
season at Hells Gate. The fishway which was recently improved is proving
an entire success.
At Hells Gate sockeye salmon were observed on the 14th of July for the
first time, this season, and from time to time arrived in considerable quantities
■ FISHERIES BRANCH 85
until very late in the season — in fact sockeye were observed below Hells Gate
as late as December 14. There appears to be no reason to doubt that these
all passed up beyond Hells Gate with possibly the exception of the very latest
runs which arrived in a very advanced condition and appeared to be very weak.
Although an unusually' careful watch was maintained there w^as no evidence
found to warrant the statement that the conditions at the Gate obstructed the
passage of fish at any time permanently. As has always been the case, there
are hours or days when, owing to the stage of the water at that time, salmon
are delayed but they have finally succeeded in passing through. It will be
remembered that in the fall of 1926 a similar run of late sockeye in an advanced
stage reached Hells Gate but succeeded in passing through and were later
observed on the spawning grounds of the Adams and Little Rivers in the
Shuswap area.
It has been suggested that the unusualh^ large quantity of sockeye observed
in Kakawa lake and creek which are tributary to the Fraser through the
Coquihalla were some which had found conditions at Hells Gate too difficult
and returned to the Coquihalla exhausted. As confirmation of this contention
it has been pointed out that 99 per cent of this variety observed in the Kawkawa
lake district were females. The suggestion is that the males, being stronger
than the females, were able to make the ascent, whereas the females were
obliged to back down to the Coquihalla. This suggestion is not concurred in
by those who have had most experience with fish culture operations, and it
has always been understood that the sockeye will continue to battle their way
up stream until they either succeed or d:e. An effort is being made to determine
just what merit there is in the contention that this year's Kawkawa fish are
those which had returned from Hells Gate. Additional weight is given to this
suggestion as it has been stated that the sockeye which appeared this year at
Kawkawa lake are from a pound to a pound and a half heavier than the
native fish.
The Cultus and Chilliwack lake system showed an unusually large run of
sockeye, particularly the former, where over 80,000 spawning fish were passed
over the hatchery fence, all being allowed this year to spawn naturally. The
same satisfactory conditions existed in this locality with regard to pinks,
although the supply of chums and cohoes was not so good.
At Harrison lake there was no large quantity of sockeye observed although
nearly four million eggs were obtained from those arriving in the vicinity of the
hatchery. These eggs w'ere transferred to Cultus lake to be brought back when
eyed and planted in the Morris creek district. At iMorris creek the run was
disappointing. • On the other hand there was a large run of pink salmon in
the Harrison district and a very satisfactory supply of springs.
In the Pitt lake district the superintendent of the hatchery reports that
the run of sockeye to the system was at least 25 per cent larger than for many
years, and all the spawning grounds w^ere well seeded. Conditions were not so
satisfactory, how'ever, in the case of the other varieties of salmon. ,
In the Birkenhead system where a hatchery is maintained, there was the
usual large run of sockeye and there were no indications which would justify
anything but optimistic expectations for the future.
In the Howe sound and Burrard inlet areas there was a very large run
of pink salmon, unusually large for even the big year. The run proceeding
to Indian river was not fished after entering Burrard inlet. The spawning
grounds in both area<s are heavily seeded. The supply of chums and cohoes
was a fair average of recent years, the chums particularly being very numerous
on the spawning areas at the 'head of Howe sounil, due no doubt largely to the
early closing of the fishing.
The run of pink salmon generally to the Fraser river, Burrard inlet and
Howe sound, also Jcrvis inlet areas, which mostly passes through the straits of
Juan de Fuca. was an excellent one.

GENERAL AND FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
The general investigation®, as well as the special investigations mentioned
in the previous report, were carried on doiring the summer, and the following
additional field work was accomplished.
A survey was made of Maces bay, N.B., by Dr. Huntsman, in connection
with a claim made by Fishery Overseer Conley that many small lobsters are
to be found near Lepreau, wthich point is too far distant from the known
spawTiing areas for their presence to be explained by immigration. It was
found that in certain sheltered areas, as in Pocologan bay, the water was of
sufficiently high temperature and of the right salinity to bring the lobster fry
through, proving that these inlets are ver>^ important for lobster breeding.
The scallop beds at Letang harbour were investigated by Dr. Huntsman
and Professor Gowanloch, of Dalhousie University. The scallops were found
to be shedding their spawn and their fry were swimming about in the water
on the 13th of August. This establishes an earlier spawning for the scallop
of our waters than had previously been known.
An investigation was also made of the spawning period of the scallops on
the Digby grounds, for which purpose scallops were obtained and shipped alive
to the Biological Station. They were examined by Professor Gowanloch.
At the request of the Department of Marine and Fisheries, an investigation
was carried on in Northumberland strait by Mr. H. E. Tanner and Mr. A. E.
Murray to determine whether fishing for lobsiters should be allowed to begin
earlier than at present in the late lobster fishing district. An examination was
made of the lobsters there during the first two weeks in August to determine
their condition.
The Biological Board was asked to send a representative to accompany
the Hudson Strait Expedition, with a view to investigating fisheries and hydro-
graphic conditions in the strait. Mr. Frits Johansen, of Ottawa, was appointed
for this work and left with the expedition from Halifax on the Larch July 16.
During the trip to the strait drift bottles were put out and hydrographic records
taken. A good collection of data and material has been made, full reports
of which will appear later.
In connection with the investigations of Maritime lakes for the purpose
of increasing their productivity, a survey was made of the Chamcook lakes
area during the month of July by Mr. K. Chipman, of the Geological Survey,
and his assistants.
The Edward E. Prince continued fish tagging operations, collection of algae
and eel grass, and other general work, spending the greater part of the time
■at Cape Breton.
VISITORS
The number of visitors to the station increases year by year, and is
indicative of the interest that is being taken by scientists and by the general
public in the work of the station.
Mr. H. J. Thorkelsen, of the International Education Board of the Rocke-
feller Foundation of New York city, visited the station on July 5 in connection
with oceanographic and aquicultural plans of the board. Funds provided by
that board have enabled investigators from Great Britain to take up work at
this station.
Sir Halford Mackinder, Chairman of the Imperial Economic Committee,
accompanied by Mr. J. J. Cow-ie, Secretary-Treasurer of the Biological Board,
visited the station on September 18.
Among other visitors were the following: Dr. H. B. Bigelow, of the Museum
of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University, Chairman of the North American
Committee on Fishery Investigations; Prof. E. K. Marshall, of Johns Hopkins
102 MARINE AND FINERIES
University; Prof. W. A. Smith, of the University of West Virginia; Prof.
P. AI. Bayne, of Acadia University; Prof. E. L. Mark, of Cambridge, Mass.;
and Prof. W. A. Parks, of the University of Toronto.
Experimental Station at Halifax, N.S.
Dr. H. R. Chipman, Chemist, commenced investigations cm the heat capacity
of cod muscle, after the construction of the calorimeter and preliminary tests
Jiad been concluded. The determinations which he completed indicated the
Latent heat of the fisili muscle and also the specific heat of both frozen and
unfrozen cod muscle. Further experiments were <^ontinued on the rusting of
fish in cold storage.
Mr. Ernest Hess, BacteTiologist, was absent on holidays and leave of
absence from July 1 to September 19. On his return he began an investigation
of the changes which take place in the ammonia and total nitrogen in haddock
muscle when stored' at low temperatures.
ISIr. Robert Ross, Assistant for Technical Processes, completed the design-
ing and construction of two fillet skinning machines, one for power and one for
foot operation. He carried on work on the preparation of frozen fillets in an
attractive form. He resigned from this position on September 17 in order to
attend Dalhousie University, but continued with work on the canning of cod
chowder during such time as he was free from classes.
Mr. H. E. Tanner, Educator, resigned from his position on August 31.
During July he continued the development of the educational work and the
museum and worked up the results of measurements of lobsters in the gulf
of St. Lawrence during the sirring months. During the period O'f August 5-18
he investigated, with the aid of Mr. A. E. Murray-, the condition of the lohsters
in Northumberland strait to establish a rational close season for that region.
Mr. D. leB. Cooper continued the investigation of the chemistry of wood
smoke, pa^'ing particular attention to the formaldehyde and acetic acid produced
under various conditions of smoke production. He developed an electric furnace
and an air mixer suitable for these investigations. His employment terminated
on September 30.
Mr. Seth Crowell continued his demonstration of improved methods of
splitting fish for the dried fish trade. After July 12 he was assisted by Wm.
Madden. The portion of the coast covered included, —
(a) Port DufTerin to Canso;
[h) Shelburne to Digby and the Nova Scotia shore of the Bay of Fundy;
(c) Cape Breton Island;
(d) Prince Edward Island;
(e) Halifax to Port Duffenn.
Mr. D. A. MacFadyen (University of Toronto) was employed for period
from July 6 to September 30. He studied the changes in expressability of the
juices of fish muscle before and after freezing at various temperatures and
under various conditions of storage.
Mr. C. B. Weld continued his investigations on the changes in the micro-
scopic structure of fisli muscle during freezing and storage. His employment
terminated on September 30.
During the last quarter investigations had largely to be discontinued owing
to preparations for and the giving of various courses of instruction.
Mr. Ernest Hess, Bacteriologist, prepared and gave lectures for the Course
for Fishermen and the Course for Canner>^ Foremen. He prepared provisional
plans for a demonstration canning plant. During the Course for Cannery
Foremen he conducted an investigation on the exhausting of cans of lobster
meat.
FISHERIES BRANCH 103
Dr. H. R. Ohipman, Chemist, was also engaged in giving lectures to the
various courses being offered at the station. The investigation of the heat
content of fish muscle was continued. He supervised Mr. Mahen's work.
Mr. W. W. Stewart made analyses of various samples of dried fish, ascer-
taining their water contents. He was unatole to devote any time to the station
after February 27.
Mr. K. W. Mahen continued his investigation on glazing and began further
work to determine the relation between thickness of fish, temperature of brine
and rate of freezing.
A number of temporary additions to the staff were m.acle in connection with
the various courses. These with dates of emploj-ment and subject taught
were: —
PrO'f. A. Stanley Walker — January 18-Febru'ary 28 — Natural Resources.

REPORT ON COURSE FOR FISHERMEN, 1928
A considerable demand had come to the station during the late months in
1927 for a course in the curing o'f fish by drying and pickling. In response
to this an effort was made to offer a suitable course. An Advisory Sub-Com-
mittee on Education was formed and the comclusion reiached that the duration of
such a course must be at least six weeks in order to be of benefit.
This period entailed a considerable financial loss for prospective students.
A solution was reached when the Minister of Marine and Fisheries and the
Biological Board of Canada decided to offer twenty-five scholarships to bona
fide fisliermen of the Maritime Provinces, who were between the ages of seven-
teen and thirty-five and who had reached grade six in the public schools.
Following this decision the following advertisement appeared in nine Mari-
time newspapers and one Montreal newspaper: —
GRANTS FOR FISHERMEN
The Biological Board of Canada offers to assist twenty-five fishermen from
the Maritime Provinces to attend the Short Course for Fishermen to be given
at the Fisheries Experimental Station, Halifax, N.S., during a term of six
weeks commencing on January 18. Each will be given on completion of this
course the sum of forty-five dollars plus the amount of railway fare for a return
104 MARINE AND FISHERIES
trip between Halifax and the railway gtation nearest his home. Only bona fide
fishermen from 17 to 35 years of age, who have passed through grade six in the
Nova Scotia schools or an equivalent grade will be able to obtain these grants.
Preference will be given to the first applicants. All applications should be
addressed to Dr. A. G. Huntsman, Director, Fisheries Experimental Station,
Halifax, N.S.
Through the co-operation of the Post Ofiice Department a similar notice
was displayed in two hundred and twelve post ofiices along the coasts of the
Maritime Provinces.
In addition to this assistance which was participated in by each man
who completed the course, the Rural Conference of the Roman Catholic Church
gave twenty-five dollars to each man attending from the Diocese of Antigonish,
regardless of denomination.
STUDENTS ATTENDING COUESE
Thirty-seven applications for scholarships were received. Some of these
bad to be refused because of lack of qualifications and a number of other
applications were withdrawn.
Twenty men came to Halifax to attend the course. They were met at the
railw^ay sttation if they desired it and were given the addresses of suitable
boarding and lodging houses. Those attending the course and their home
addresses were: —
Alexander Baccardax, Poirierv'ille, N.S. John M. Homans, Clam Harbour, N.S.

Wednesday, January 18, 1928, and terminated on February 28, 1928.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance was kept at all the regular classes and was in nearly every case
100 per cent. One man, Ellis Beiswanger, had to return home shortly after
the commencement of the course. He did not qualify for a scholarship on this
account.
HOURS .A.ND PLACE OF IXSTRICTION
Classes began at 9 a.m. each morning. Four fifty-minute classes consti-
tuted the morning session. There were ten-minute intermissions between
periods. Three similar clas^ses were held in the afternoon commencing at
2.15 p.m. and terminating at 5.20. There were no classes after 12.50 p.m. on
Saturday, except on two occasions.
All the instruction was given in the station buildings except that in " Motor

CO-OPERATION WITH DALHOUSIE L^NIVERSITY
In the course last year Dalhousie University,. Halifax, decided to establish
a scientific course in fishery matters leading up to the degree of Bachelor of
Science. An arrangement was afterwards entered into between the board and
the university authorities by which the board's staff would co-operate in the
instruction to be given. The university is to provide instruction in the courses,
other than the practical ones. The practical instruction is to be given by the
Biological Board's staff, who will be given, for that purpose, the status of
regular members of the university staff.
The board, at the request of the department, also undertakes to supervise
the erection of, and to maintain, a laboratory at the entrance to Halifax harbour
for research and instruction in marine biology in connection with the university
courses. The resources of the laboratory are to be available to students of
any Canadian university, under such arrangements as may be made by the
Biological Board and the various universities concerned. The laboratory is to
be known as the Eastern Passage Marine Laboratorv'.
FIELD WORK AND ADDRESSES
Dr. Leim visited a lobster retaining pond at Stonehurst, near Lunenburg,
on January 11, at the request of the department. He made an examination of
the salinity and temperature and arranged to have further samples collected
to follow the conditions and if possible to estimate their effect on the impounded
lobsters.
Dr. Huntsman visited Canso on March 27 where he addressed a meeting
of fishermen dealing with the eggs and fry of fishes and the trawler question.
DEMONSTRATION BUILDING
No particular progress was made with this pknt until March, owing to
other pressing matters. The small compressor was put into automatic opera-
tion and cold storage space became available. A salt water pump and pipe
line was installed. The convej^or system on the brine tank was beg-un in March
and largely completed.
Dr. Huntsman developed a means of cutting one-half pound cakes of
fillets for freezing and a simpler improved form of skinner. Several hundred
pounds of " Ice Fillets " as these cakes were called, were frozen and distributed
m Montreal, Ottawa, and Toronto, in one pound cartons.

Mr. G. V. Willby continoied his investigation of ling cod, with special refer-
ence to the spawning.
Oceanographical. — The oceanographical studies in the strait of Georgia with
special reference to the movements of the Eraser river water were continued.
Dr. A. H. Hutchinson dealt with the quantitative distribution of the phytop-
plankton and Miss Mildred Campbell with the zooplankton. ]\Ir. C. C. Lucas
dealt with the pihysico-chemical characteristics and Dr. W. A. Clemens handled
the drift bottle work. Dr. H. C. Wilhamsion has been making a study o'f
oceanographical and plankton conditions throughout the year along the west
coast of Vancouver island in connection with the studies of the pilchard and
herring fisiheries. The need for an extensive oceanographical program for the
west coast has become ver>' evident and if arrangements can be made for the
use of a .suitable boat the investigations will be commenced this summer.
The collection of oceanographical data is being made tliroughout the year
at the wharf at the station, at a point in the strait of Georgia, in the strait
of Juan de P'uca, near William Head through the courtesy of the Department
of Public Health, and from two stations near Prince Rupert by the Fisheries
Experimental Station. Daily temperature records of the Eraser river water
are being obtained near iXcw Westininster through the courtesy of the Fisheries
Branch.

Miscellaneous. — Miss Dorothy Newton conducted some experiments with
the cross fertilization of species of fucus.
Mr. C. Berkeley contimied his' studies of the luminescence of marine bacteria
and commenced a studiy of annelid-aigal isymlbiosis.
Dr. land Mrs. W. A. Clemen's studied the co'llection of sockeye salmon scales

FIELD INVESTIGATIONS
Propagotion of Sockeye Salmon
Dr. R. E. Foerster continued his studies at Culitus lake and is reporting
in detail.
Salmon Tagging
The tagging of small coho salmon was carried out in the spring of 1927
in the strait oif Georgia for the purpose of determining the locality to whi^ch
these fisih would eventually go to spawn and also to demonstr'ate to the fishermen
that these small fish known as " bluelbacks " would develop into cohoes and
that they make a very rapid growth. This tagging was done by Mr. G. V. Wilby.
The tagsing o'f spring salmon was ciarrded out on the west coast of Vancouver
island off Quatsino and Kyuquot sounds from February to August. Mr. W. F.
Baxter and Mr. C. McC. Mottley were engaged in this work. The object of
this tagging was to determine if these more westerly fisli had the same ultimate
destination as those occurring off Barclay sound.
Mr. 0. McC. Mottley made a special stud^ 'of the scales of the s:pring
salmon w^hich were tagged, obtaining infoiTnation as to their early history and
determining their ages.
Herring and Pilchards
Dr. H. C. Williamson continued his studies of herring in the strait of
Georgia and on the west coast of Vancouver isliand. In conjunction with this
work, Mr. J. A. Munro, Chief Federal Migratory Bird Officer for the Western
Provinces, spent four weeks at the station studying the relation of sea fowl to
the spawning of herring. Special attention was given to gulls and to some
extent to ducks.
Dr. Williamson has also been carrvnng out an extensive study of the
pilchards of the west coast of Vancouver island. He has been giving special
consideration to the relation of the physico-chemical factors and plankton
occurrence to the movements- and distribution of these fisih. Mr. Mottley gave
assistance for a short period in the field and Mr. G. H. Wailes has assisted
with the qualitative and quantitative examination of the plankton collections
and with the stiud'y of the stomach contents of both pilchards and herring,
Clams
Dr. C McLean Fraser, with the assistance of Miss Gertrude Smith, con-
tinued the study of clams in the vic'nity of Sidney, B.C. The results of the
investigation have led to a modification of the clam fishing regulations.
Oi/sters
Mr. C. Roy Elsey gave continuous study thronghout t'he summer to the
propagation of the Japanese oyster in Ladysmith harbour. There has been
doubt as to the ability of this oyster to spawn successfully, at least every year.
Mr. Elsey kept the oysters under several artificial condittions and kept close
observation of the oysters under natural conditions. Records of the physico-
chemical conditions were kept in all cases. Spawning under natural conditions
was very limited while under artificial conditions quite su'ccessful. It would
appear that temperature was the mo'st important factor. A sihipment of spat
was obtained from Japan for experimental work on later development.
112 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Trout Propagation
While no field work was carried out tliis year, various fish and game
associations and fishery officers sent in specimen's Which have been examined
by Prof. J. R. Dymond. As stated in last year's report, it seemed necessary
as a preliminary to any trout cultural studies to determine the identity of the
trout occurring in British Columbia. Prof. Dymond undertook the systematic
study and asked that a young man be assigned to .assist him during the winter
of 1927 and in the field in 1928. In this way the assistant would become
familiar with the systematic phases of the work and obtain the training neces-
sary for the carrying out of the life history land propagation phases of the work.
Mr. C. MeC. MottLey was assigned to the investigation and spent six and one-
half months at the University of Toronto.
Special study mater-Jal have been supplied to: —
Professor Simon Gage, Cornell University, Lamprey lan'te and adults;
Dr. A. G. Revell, University of Albcrtia, fixed tissues of ling cod for histo-
lofgieal study.
Visitors to the station during the year included Mr. J. J. Cowie, Air. W. A.
Found, and Mr. John Dybhavn.
Laboratory ^accommodations for short periods were given to: —
Dr. Bisby, College ol Agriculture, Winnipeg, for the collection of fungi;
Dr. Parker D. Trask, Scripps Institution, for collection of bottom sediments;
Dr. J. H. Erwin, Saskatoon, collection of museum and study materials;
Dr. Paul Hiebert, University of Manitoba, survey of chemicai problems.
Conference of Pacific Coast Investigators.
During the last week in August a conference of the board's investigators
on the Pacific coast was held at the Nanaimo station. Those in attendance were:
Dr. Hutchinson, Dr. White, Mr. Wailes, Mr. Finn, Air. Brocklesby, Mr. Smith,
Dr. Foerster, Dr. Williamson, Dr. Clemens. Reports of the investigations being
carried out by the workers were given and were followed by discussions.
Associate Committee on Oceanography, National Research Council.
Following the meetings of the Pan-Pacific Science Congress in Japan, the
National Research Council agreed to the formation of an Associate Committee
on Oceanography which should establish connections with similar committees
in other countries bordering the Pacific and attempt to bring about co-ordina-
tion and co-operation in the study of marine problems of the Pacific. A meet-
ing was called by President Tory on January 7 in Edmonton and Dr. C. AIc-
Lean Fraser was selected as the Chainnan of the General Committee. Three
sub-committees were decided upon namely: —
physical and Chemical Oceanography — Dr. A. H. Hutchinson, Chairman.
Alarine Biology — Dr. W. A. Clemens, Chairman.
Fish Technology — Air. D. B. Finn, Chainnan.
PUBLICITY AND EDUCATION
An exhibit illustrating the results obtained from the tagging of spring
salmon was prepared and placed in the Vancouver and New Westminister Fall
Exhibitions. In both places the exhibit attracted a great deal of attention.
Later the exhibit was placed in a store window in Nanaimo.
Eight newspaper articles dealing with the work of the Nanaimo Station
were published by Air. Norcross, Editor of the Vancouver Star. An article
was also published by the Victoria Colonist.
During the year 846 persons visited the station museum. The average
annual attendance for the past four years has been approximately 800 indi-
viduals.
FISHERIES BRANCH 1 1 3
Two small aquaria are being installed and these should serve to main-
tain interest in the marine forms. Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Good are preparing a
number of fish casts for display.
Public lectures have been given in Nanaimo, Duncan and Vancouver.
PROPERTY DEVELOPMEXT
During the year a coal and wood shed and garage was constructed to
replace a very old structure w4iich was about to collapse. A new salt water
pump has been installed to provide a more adequate salt water supply to the
laboratories and to provide fire protection. It is planned to later use salt
water in the sanitary services in order to conserve the supply of fresh water.
A new float was constructed at the end of the wharf and also a float to carry
live-boxes for the purpose of keeping fish and other forms under experimental
conditions. Four galvanized screen cages have been installed and other wooden
cages will be made. Dr. Foerster has placed yearlings of three races of sockeye
salmon in the cages in order to study the development of these races under
identical environmental conditions.

BUILDING
The building program for the last year has been confined to the complet-
ing of the interior of the building as described in the previous report. The
library' has been equipped with a full set of adjustable shelves. The laboratory
has been further equipped with shelving, benches and cupboards. A store-
room was built in the attic in which there has also been constructed a ther-
mostaticaliy controlled and properly ventilated animal room for metabolism
work in connection with the vitamin assay work.
A gas machine has been installed in a small separate building which is
also used to store combustible and explosive chemicals.
The installation of air compressing apparatus and hot-water boiler has
been completed, and the electrical wiring extended so that the laboratories are
now supplied with compressed air, gas, electricity, and hot and cold water.
LIBR.ARY
The library has been added to, mainly in the acquisition of the back
numbers of technical journals and the most recent chemical publications con-
cerning the work in hand.
LABORATORIES
]Most of the standard equipment for the laboratory has been secured but
apparatus still must be procured. Capital expenditure in this direction will
be reduced during the coming year.
Refrigeration. investigation
In accordance with the plan as outlined in the previous report, Mr. I. M.
Fraser of the Department of Mechanical Engineering of the University of
Saskatchewan was appointed to complete the design of a model freezing plant.
During the summer months Mr. Fraser completed plans and secured tenders
on construction, but contracts were not let owing to there being no space avail-
able for its erection. No satisfactory arrangement could be made for the erec-
tion of the plant on the property of the Canadian Fish and Cold Storage Com-
pany. Thus the progress which was hoped for was not made. If this work is
considered by the board to be worth while, immediate steps should be taken
to secure the necessary accommodation for this demonstration plant.
68927—8
114 MARINE AXD FISHERIES
"Work is at present being undertaken upon the comparative effects of rapid
and slow freezing on the chemical composition and food value of fish. A study
of the changes which occur in the fats and oils of fish during storage. An
examination of the nature of and condition responsible for the production of
rusting.
During the coming year it is hoped that by the erection of properly con-
trolled low temperature rooms, this work may be extended to an investi-
gation of changes in both physical and chemical characteristics during pro-
longed storage, especially with regard to changes which occur in quickly frozen
fish during storage.
It is also hoped that during the coming year proper provision will be
made for the erection of a demonstration refrigeration plant.
Vitamin Research.
The station has now a properly equipped animal room and is provided with
the apparatus for the carrying on of its work in testing the vitamin potency of
fish oils.
One paper, the Determination of Vitamin A Content in Liver Oil of the
Dogfish, Squalus Sucklii, by H. N. Brocklesby, has been published in the
"Canadian Chemistry and Metallurgy " September, 1927. Air. Brocklesby is
now engaged in a vitamin D assay of the same oil, which work is rapidly
nearing completion.
Eventually it is hoped to extend this work to many other, fish oils and
to determine seasonal variation as well as the effect of various methods of pro-
cessing upon the vitamin potency.
Work on the oil changes in fish during long storage has already been out-
lined under refrigeration.
Composition and Properties of Fish Oils
An investigation into the chemical composition and behaviour of salmon
oil has been started. The possibility of its use in paints and varnishes is
being explored. Its beha^dour to heat and oxidation and various other treat-
ment has been studied, but it will be some time before this work is completed.
Samples of other oils, such as pilchard, oulachan, halibut, skate, and rat-
fish oils have been procured, and it is hoped that these will be examined in a
similar manner in the near future.
Fish Glues
Fish glue is manufactured commercially only by secret process. Because
of this a great deal of preliminary experimental work has been necessary to
ascertain standard methods of preparation and testing of glues.
Five or six of the most recent and widely used methods of preparation
found in the literature were adopted, and about twenty-five samples of glue
were prepared by these methods from lia]ibut and salmon waste, whole dogfish
and skate.
A selection of these glues has been sent to the Forest Products Laboratories,
Vancouver, where their strengths will be measured in glued wooden joints
made up under working conditions. A report will be made on their compara-
tive adhesive powers, and their commercial value and fitness for different kinds
of wood-working.
At the same time investigations are being made on the viscosity, hygro-
scopicity, ash content and nature of asih, drying rate and gel point of these
different samples. The correlation of this data with the results of the strength
tests siiould furnish valuable information as to what properties are desirable
in a liquid glue and what methods of preparation sliow most promise of yield-
ing good quality glue.
FISHERIES BRANCH 115
DISCOLORATION OF HALIBLT IN" HOLDS OF VESSELS
Investigation of this problem was carried on throughout the summer months.
Firstly observations were made as to the conditions of the holds in fishing
vessels in which discolored fish were found. Secondly^ attempts were made to
reproduce conditions which produced discolored fish, and thirdly, an attempt
was made to isolate certain factors which were responsible for the discoloration.
Among these a bacteriological examination of the holds and of the surface of
the halibut holds promise of much valuable information. This work is planned
for the coming ^^ear.
MUSEUM
During the past year the station undertook to place an exhibit in the
Prince Rupert Fair. This exhibit attracted wide attention, and indicated that
further efforts in this direction would be quite worth while.
Pkairie Lakes Investigations
The following report deals with the scientific investigation of the lakes
of the Prairie Provinces in the year 1927. This year marks the commence-
ment of the systematic study of this region. The investigations were in the
nature of a prehminary survey of a number of lakes with a view to gaining a
general knowledge of the problems of fisheries and fish culture in the Prairie
Provinces.
The party in the field was under the charge of Air. A. Bajkov, who was ably
assisted by Mr. Alan Mozley (as general assistant), Mrs. B. Sharman (as
chemical assistant), and for a short time bj^ Mr. F. Neave and Dr. H. Chat-
away.
SUXIMARY OF W^ORK
1. Alkaline Lakes of Saskatcheuxni
There are a great many alkaline lakes in Saskatchewan and Alberta. These
lakes form a homogeneous group, individual lakes differing only slightly from
one another in the essential features of their flora and fauna. Many of these
lakes are without commercial fish at the present time and it is very desirable
to establish fisheries on these lakes, if possible, as there is an abundance of
food. Moreover, fish from alkaline lakes are in general of superior quality.
A few of the most important of the alkaline lakes of Saskatchewan were
selected for examination during the past year, namely: Little and Big Quill
lakes, near Wadena, Sask., and the Manitou group near Yonker, Sask. These
lakes were visited at all seasons, and a satisfactory beginning was made on
their study.
It appears that whitefish (Corcgonus clupcaformis) and ciscoes {Leuci-
chthys sp.) will thrive in certain of these lakes. The dominant animals, namely:
Corixa sp., Hyalella knickerbockeri and Diaptomus sicilis, are admirably suited
as food for these fishes. It is quite possible that a commercial fishery will be
established on the Quill lakes in a few years, as the whitefish and cisco appear
to be doing well in these lakes.
2. The Lake Winnipeg System
Under this heading are included lake Winnipeg proper and its connected
waters.
Lake Winnipeg. — ^Lake Winnipeg is the most important lake coming with-
in the scope of this investigation. Any further study of the lakes of the
Prairie Provinces must be based on a thorough knowledge of this lake. It is
the fundamental type of this area.
68927-8i
116 MARINE AND FISHERIES
During the past year a beginning has 'been made with this work. Examina-
tions w^ere made at all seasons at various parts of the lake. A great many'
plankton selections were secured (both quantitative and qualitative), which
will be very valuable in the future. A fine collection of lake Winnipeg fish and
fish stomachs was obtained. A certain amount of information was also
secured regarding the associated animals, especially the mollusks, physical
and chemical conditions were observed.
Lakes Winnipegosis and Manitoba. — Lakes Winnipegosis and Manitoba
rank second in importance to lake Winnipeg. The detailed investigation of
these lakes should therefore ibe postponed until a better knowledge of con-
ditions in lake Winnipeg has been o'Dtained. It wall therefore be the best policy
to make only short visits to these lakes for routine observations during the
coming year.
In 1927 and 1928 several visits were made to these lakes at different
seasons. The usual collections of plankton, fish, fish stomachs and associated
animals, together with certain significant hydrological data were obtained.
Marking Fry. — As fry are being planted in lake Winnipegosis at the
present time, A Mozley has proceeded thither for the purpose of marking a
large number, prior to their introduction into the lake.
Lake Dauphin. — A short visit was made to lake Dauphin during the past
summer and a certain amount of useful information obtained. It seems that
this lake will be useful for comparison with some of the alkaline lakes. It is
therefore proposed to pay another visit to this lake during the coming summer
if the time is available.
Eastern Tributaries of Lake Wimiipcg. — Examinations were made of the
following eastern tributaries of lake Winnipeg: Winnipeg river, Whiteshell
river, Berens river, Big Black river. These eastern tributaries are of a distinct
type as they drain the forested regions of eastern Manitoba. The study of
the sturgeon was commenced' in this region.
Other Lakes. — Lake St. Martin, Clearwater, Clear and Long lakes in
Manitoba, and Fishing lake in Saskatchewan, were examined. A detailed
report on Clearwater lake is appended.
The headquarters for these investigations were at the University of Mani-
toba, Zoology Department. Since Prof. O'Donoghue's departure, temporary
quarters have been obtained in his vacated office.
A beginning has been made in the establishment of a reference collection
of the plants and animals collected in the course of the investigations. This
will be very valua:ble in the future. A number of important and essential
reference books have been purchased W'hich will form a basis for a library.
A small sailing yawl with auxiliary motor has been purchased for use on
lake Winnipeg during the coming season. A few essential instruments have also
been purchased.
It has been deemed advisable to make a few alterations in this boat, the
most important one being the construction of a weatherproof cabin in order
that work may proceed with less interruption from external conditions. Minor
expenses in connection with the vessel include painting and the purchase of a
few essential instruments, etc.
FISH — CULTURAL INVESTIGATIONS
The investigation into the propagation, natural and artificial, of sockeye
salmon at Cultus lake, British Columbia, has now been in progress for three
years. The work is essentially a field study but owing to the extent of the
investigation it has had to be, of necessity, firmly established.
FISHERIES BRANCH 117
The station, known as the Pacific Salmon Research Station, consists prim-
arily of the following structm-es: —
(1) A five-room bmisalow, of which one room has been thus far set aside
as a laboratory. A small store-room is located in the basement. The house
is^ s'ituated on 'the lake-front, occupying two of the 25 by 60-foot lots rented
annually from the Cultus Lake Park Board.
(2) A 5 by 5 mesh galvanized iron screen fence, approximately two
hundred feet long and eight feet high, constructed for the purpose of trapping
and counting the small sockeye during their seaward migration. The fence
was constructed in 1925.
(3) A hatchery and bungalow below the lake, erected in 1925 with funds
returned to the department by the board for this purpose.
(4) A subsidiary hatchery and residence at Smith Falls on the east side
of Cultus lake, erected in 1926 by the department.
(5) A picket weir with traps constructed some years ago for capturing
and counting adult sockeye, migrating to the lake. This structure may later
have to be removed and arrangements may be made for trapping the adult
fish at the screen fence.
The hatcheries are operated by the Fisheries Branch in accordance with
instructions issued by the Research Committee on Fish-culture as the program
of the investigation directs.
The program of the investigation has been previously outlined. By the
nature of the work each year's studies are conveniently divided into two
sections — the enumeration and study of returning parent fish in the fall, and
the enumeration and study of the down-stream migrating young in the spring.
These studies are supplemented by experimental w^ork and the elucidation of
other life-history problems.
The investigation has not yet covered an entire cj'cle period of four years
and the data obtained cannot therefore be completely correlated. As far as it
has progressed, however, the results are: —
Natural Propagation
Fall of 75^5.— Adults passing to lake— 1,540 males, 3,883 females. Calcu-
lating 4,500 eggs per female, the total deposition was 17,473,500.
Spring 1926. — Down-stream migrants resulting from 1925 spawning — Fry
only — 12,568, or 0-07 per cent.
Spring of 1927. — Down-stream migrants resulting from 1925 spawning. —
Yearlings only, 183,272, or 1.05 per cent.
Spring of 1928. — Down-stream migrants resulting from 1925 spawning. —
Two-year-old migrants, now being counted.
The product of the 1925 spawning will return in 1929 as adult fish.
Fall of 1927. — Adults passing to the lake— 25.658 males, 55,569 females.
Total number of eggs carried to spawning beds, 250,060.500.
In 1927 the program called for artificial propagation with planting of eyed
eggs, but due to the fact that a big run was indicated it was decided to alter
the program in 1927 and 28, reversing the methods to be used. By this means
the extent of the big year run could be determined and the effect of a very
heavy spawning ascertained.
Spring of 1928. — Down-stream migrants resulting from 1927 sp:iwning —
Fry only — ^Count now proceeding, 91,000 taken to date.
118 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Artificial Propagation With Distribution of Fry
Fall of 1926.— Adults counted— 3,122 males, 1,949 females. Total eggs
contained in the run, 8,770,500.
Total loss in females found dead due to retention 1, 174,500 or 13-4%
Total loss due to incomplete spawning 1, 108,360 or 12-6%
Total loss occurring during development 570,500 or 6-5%
Total loss previous to distribution 32 • 5%
Spring of 1927. — No Sockeye fry migrated.
Spring of 1928. — Down-stream migrants from spawning of 1926. Year-
lings only — Count now proceeding, 170,621 taken to date.
Artificial Propagation With Planting of Eyed Eggs
This method of propagation will be carried out this fall. The capacity
of the hatchery being 6,000,000 eggs, the collection will be limited to that
number. Provision is being made for the economical disposition of the excess
fish, if any.
Reports on the studies of the 1926 and 1926 sockeye runs of parent fish
and of the hatchery operations of 1926-27 are in the hands of the Editor. The
first report on the study of the down-stream migration^ that of 1927, is being
submitted for publication.
In connection wdth the sipring migrations a proportion of each migration
are being marked in order to determine the numbers caught commercially, the
num'ber that return to Cultus lake and to trace their movements to other areas.
During the test counting of 1926, which does not enter otherwise into the investi-
gation proper, 101,200 migrants were marked by removal of both pelvic fins.
They are expected to return this fall and arrangements will be made with
canneries and with American authorities whereby the numbers caught com-
mercially may be ascertained. During the counting of 1927, 91,600 migrants
were marked by removal of both pelvic fins and the adipose. During the
present counting, approximately 100,000 will be marked by removal of both
pelvic fins and the posterior half of the dorsal.
ECOLOGICAL STUDIES
Ecological conditions related to the investigation are being carried out,
such as, character and abundance of food in the lake, physical and chemical
conditions prevailing in the lake,, enemies and parasites.
EXPERIMENTAL WORK
Problems related to the fertilization and hatching, feeding, etc., of sockeye
are being carried out at the hatchery as opportunity and time allow. Sockeye
now retained for two years, are being reared to maturity in order to check
their growth against scale readings.

Exploratory work carried on in search of areas where scallops exist in
paying quantities at coasts of the three Maritime Provinces.
Examination of 03'ster beds at Upper Caraquet bay, Gloucester county,
and at Bale du Yin, Northumberland county,. X.B.
SCALLOP INVESTIGATIONS MADE IN MAHONE BAY
These investigations were made between the dates of 8th and 22n'd June,
and as was done in 1926 were engaged in from three separate starting points,
viz.: Indian point, Ernst island, and Tancook.
The condition of the scallop beds in Mahone bay has been annually
examined since the year 1919. At that time it had been alleged that the scallop
was becoming depleted in that bay, which led to departmental measures being
taken to conserve it. It was not then known that the spawning time of the
scallop in Mahone bay is in September in which month it was then legal to
fish for it.
That having been ascertained, a new regulation was enacted prohibiting
the taking of scallops in September, and as since 1919 the examining of the
condition of the beds has been intrusted to me, among other matters of import-
ance pertaining to my observations, I kept a constant lookout for the reappear-
ance of the coming up young scallops.
This watching went on for four years, before I was able to detect signs of
their appearance. The signs were first noticed in 1923. This led me in 1924
to watch for further evidence,, but as in that year I did not detect any marked
difference from what I had seen in the previous year, I patiently refrained
from reporting anything regarding the matter until I was absolutely sure of my
premises.
In time I began to hear of fishermen coming across scallops in January
or so no bigger than a ten cent piece attached by byssus to other objects. Of
that, however, I had no knowledge at first hand.
In 1925 the visible signs of the appearance of the coming up of the young
scallops was so obvious that the phenomenon was reported by me in the report
of that year.
As soon as I began the observations in that year, which were made in the
month of August, I discerned distinct signs of improvement.
At a place examined at the western part of the bay, starting from Indian
point, and not many miles from the town of Mahone, all of two-thirds of the
scallops were under 4 inches, the largest was 3^ inches, and the remainder
ranged from 5:^ to Tj inches.
Cruises were also made in 1925 among the scallop beds off various islands
and off Gull Edge, and although the proportion of smaller to larger scallops at
120
MARINE AND FISHERIES
those places was less than that at the place just mentioned, nevertheless; about
one-third of the total number over all the places examined in conjunction were
5'oung coming up scallops, as the following figures reveal: —

In the year 1926 the scallop beds were examined, from the three starting
points already mentioned, between the dates June 24 and July 16, and a second
time between August 16 and 26.
On both occasions at the western part of the bay as approached from
Indian point the number of scallops of 4 inches and under was much in excess
of those over 4 inches. On the first occasion there were 250 of the former and
45 of the latter, and on the second occasion 129 of the former and 58 of the
latter. Taken together, the number of 4 inches and under was 379 and the
number over 4 inches 103. This was unprecedented.
As approached from Tancook, July 8-12, there were 20 of 4 inches or under
and 69 over 4 inches, and as approached from that place, August 25, there were
26 of 4 inches or under and 54 over 4 inches. Taken together, the number of
4 inches or under was 46 and the number over 4 inches 123.
As approached from Ernst island, July 15, there were 2 of 4 inches or
under and 15 over 4 inches, and as approached from that place, August 20 and
21, there were 7 of 4 inches or under and 65 over 4 inches. Taken together, the
number of 4 inches or under was 9 and the number over 4 inches 80.
Taken jointly, the following figures, according to the three starting points,
show the proportions of smaller and larger scallops obtained in Mahone bay
in toto for 1926: —

The investigations for 1927 were made earlier in the season than were those
of 1926. They were commenced on June 8 and finished on June 22. whereas in
1926 they were commenced on June 24 and finished on August 25. This is
mentioned because the proportion of scallops of 4 inches and under at the
western part of the bay in 1927 was much below what it was in 1926. But this
might be explainable by the stage of growth of the scallops, surmising that at
the earlier period a 4-inch mesh, which is the legal size, did not procure many
of the smaller scallops of the time. Therefore, if such were the case, in order to
the obtaining of them a 2-inch mesh might have been required.
By June 18, however, and at a point approached from Tancook, and which
was considerably eastward from where the small ones had been found in such
numbers in 1926, out of 77 scallops obtained 29 were 4 inches or under and 48
were over 4 inches, which compares favourably with what had been found in
1926 in waters further away eastward from the town of Mahone.
The following figures, according to the three starting points, show the pro-

1927:—

The above tabulation shows that the number of male scallops and the
number of female are approximately equal, and this is in keeping with what in
general has been found to be the case through the investigations of previous
years in Mahone bay, or indeed in the investigations made elsewhere, so that
the combined data reveal that the proportion of either sex virtually stands at
fifty to fifty per cent.
Two of the scallops included in the tabulation were old and sagged. One
of them, a female (6^ inches) was not so far gone a« to hinder tihe determination
of its sex. The other (5| inches) wag' judged at the time to be a fem^ale with a
quer>' mark, but hias been placed with the femvales in the tabulation.
There is something to point out here. Only within a degree is the size of
a scallop a criterion of senility, or in other words some scallops are full grown
and about to die when of a smaller size than others are, and the above men-
tioned two present an instance of that.

List of the Fauna, in general, brought up by the rakes.
Sponges. — One attached to a stone, another attached to a horse-mussel,
and another attached to a horse-mussel valve.
Coelenterates. — Hydroids attached to above mentioned horse-mussel valve;
several sea-ancmonies.
Echinoderms. — Of these sea-urchins were the most numerous, although they
were not in such excessive numbers as to seriously derange a balance of the
fauna in general. As a rule they occurred in the rakes from one to several,
FISHERIES BRANCH 125
seldom none, but there were a few places notably off Gull Edge and among the
islands, such as Ernst and Bella islands, where they were more or less numerous.
The number of sand-dollars, and also of brittle-stars (Ophiurians) and star-
fishes inclusive of five-rayed and many-rayed kinds was not great.
At one part of the bay sea-cucumbers constitute a pest, as was ascertained
in the first place during previous seasons. This place is situated off the west
coast of Tancook extending for at least about 1^ miles. There in the season
past only one scallop, 4^ inches, was obtained in a raking of some 400 yards.
Annelids. — A few of different kinds, some housed in tubes.
Crustaceans. — A crab {Hyas), a hermit-crab, a prawn, a shrimp.
Molhisks. — Some 10 horse-mussels, a cockle valve, 2 chitons, a so-called
conch (Lunatia) , 3 slipper-shells (Crepidula) attached to scallops obtained
between Bella and Ernst Islands.
Tunicates. — Two ascidians.
Fishes. — Two skates, two skate egg-capsules, a flat fish.
The above list is presented in order to show the sort of living organisms
that occur in Mahone bay other than scallops, and also to convey an idea as
to their respective quantities. It may seem that echinoderms (sea-urchins,
sand-dollars, brittle-stars, star-fishes, sea-cucumbers) are the most plentiful,
and that of tJhese sea-urchins are the most numerous. In general, however, sea-
urdhins or other echinoderm'S at the present time are not in sucli numlbers so
as to seriously affect the sicallops in Mahone bay. As already pointed ooit
urchins -were fairly numerous at one or two localities, and at a spot about one
and a half miles off Tancook, where sea-cucumibers oc'cur, only one scallop was
obtained.
NOTES
It may be interesting to state that by examining the gonads of the smallest
scallops obtained it was found that such, in proportion to the sizes of the
scallops, were heavily charged with the sex elements.
There are really three distinct species of scallop occurring in our mari-
time waters. Besides our own commercial species, the giant scallop {Pecten
tenuicostatus) , the species (P. irradians) , commercially used in the United
States, to a degree overlaps the United States border and is occasionally found
in Mahone bay. During the past season a few scallops, mostly very tiny, were
found in that bay and noted as P. irradians. Whilst engaged in exploratory
work, however, oft Miminegash, P.E.I. , in July, two specimens of a third species
{P . islandicus) were brought up by the drag, and being of full size I was able
to identify them. This European species named after Iceland, parallels the
case of P. irradians in overlapping, but from an opposite direction, into our
maritime waters. As perchance the third species (P. islandicus) may casually
make its way even as far southward as Mahone bay, possibly some of the very
small or very young scallop specimens, which from time to time have been
come across in that bay, may have been referable to Pecten islandicus instead of
to P. irradians for at such an early stage of growth there might have been little
to definitely distinguish them.
EXPLORATORY W^ORK CARRIED ON IN SEARCH OF AREAS WHERE SCALLOPS EXIST IN
PAYING QUANTITIES AT COASTS OF THE THREE MARITIME PROVINCES
In this work considerable parts of the inshore waters of the Maritime Prov-
inces were explored, and in the search for scallop areas close attention was
given to the nature of the sea-beds in order to study out reasons why scallops
are plentiful in some localities, scanty in others, and in others again allogether
absent.
126 MARINE AND FISHERIES
The patrol-boat Mildred McColl was placed at disposal for the work, and
the coasts explored were these: —
Gidf of St. Laurence. — That part of the coast of Prince county, P.E.I. ,
embraced between Alberton and North point.
Strait of Northumberland. — That part of the coast of Prince county,
embraced between Xail Head and Cape Wolfe; those parts of the coasts of
Kent county, X.B., embraced between Buctouche and Cote Ste. Anne and
between Richibucto and Point Sapin; that part of the coast of Nova Scotia
operated from Wallace as a starting point and embracing off: Oak island,
^McDonald's cove, and cape John; and that part of the coast of Pictou county,
N.S., off Big island, Merigomish.
East Coast of Nova Scotia facing the Atlantic. — Chedabucto bay, Guys-
boro county, and off cape Hogan, cape Breton; Whitehead, and Country har-
bour and neighbouring waters, Guysboro county; and Port Dufferin, Halifax
county."
As a result of the work I can confidently assert that there are places where
fishermen need never go in hope of getting scallops, for at such places they will
never find them.
There are two very opposite reasons why scallops do not exist in plenty at
certain places in particular. Whilst they can exist and thrive in mud of a cer-
tain consistency they cannot among the great wastes of soft mud such as were
come across in the explorations at some parts of the Strait of Northumber-
land where hardly any living organisms of any sort exist.
On the other hand they cannot thrive at places infested with great multi-
tudes of sea-urchins, sand-dollars, or sea-cucumbers, and although such fishes
as skates and flat-fishes, which are endowed with great freedom of locomotion,
find in such compacted masses over which they can easily move about a con-
genial haunt, they also only add to the conditions that occasion the absence of
scallops from places of the kind.
In the search for scallops then, two things in particular should be kept
in mind, viz: the material nature of the sea-beds and the kinds and numbers
of the living organisms that have established themselves upon the beds to
the exclusion of the scallops.
The nature of the sea-beds where scallops occur are diverse and varied.
The composition may be of rock, gravel, sand, or even mud of a certain con-
sistency, and with those materials, either when single or combined, there may be
growths of sea-weeds and empty mollusk shells.
The mere nature of the sea-beds, however, will not account for why the
scallop lives and thrives at certain localities, whilst it is not to be found at
others where the physical nature of the beds, that is in so far as the materials
that compose them are concerned, is essentially the same. The problem goes
deeper, but in passing it may be said, there need be no fear of any serious decline
in their numbers in so far as nature is concerned where once the scallop has
successfully established itself.
The influence of special environment, whether in relation to the com-
position of the sea-bed or the kinds and numbers of living organisms upon the
bed, is a reason why scallops arc sometimes to be found in plenty at a certain
place, whilst at an adjoining place they may not exist at all or may be so
few in numbers as to be purely negligible. There is evidence to show that,
barring the depleted state which owing to injudicious and over fishing the
scallop had been reduced to, Mahone Bay is an instance of a place where
scallops have been living and thriving, standing apart from an adjoining place
where it would seem such has not been the case.
FISHERIES BRANCH 127
In the year 1926 an examination was made at a spot about one mile
beyond the boundary of the bay and about two miles off Big Duck island.
The nature of the sea-'bed was composed of smooth sand with minute pebbles,
and over this two rakes were drawn some 300 yards. The work, irrespective
of the nature of the bottom, was heavy and laborious and had to be desisted or
risk the loss of the rakes.
The organic material brought up consisted of 186 sand-dollars, a number
of sea-urchins, two sea-cucumbers, a number of dead bivalve mollusk shells
but no dead scallop shells, kelp and a small quantity of another kind of sea-
weed, and one scallop 6 inches in length.
Nowhere within the bay itself are sand-dollars, or any other sort of
echinoderms, to be found in such excessive numbers.
A second drag, of some 300 yards, was made with the two rakes towards
the boundary of the bay, starting from within the line and apparently dragging
over and beyond it, the rakes in that case being lifted after having recrossed
the line.
This drag, being adjacent to, or partly at most just over the line, is of
consequence in a consideration of how in general the fauna is locally distributed.
The nature of the sea-bed was rocky, and the organic material brought
up consisted of two or three sand-dollars, some sea-urchins, a many-rayed
star fish, a sea-cucumber, a few broken bivalve mollusk shells including one
or two scallop shells, a chiton on a stone, kelp, and 45 scallops measuring from
3| to 5f inches in length.
The nature of the sea-bed of the Buctouche-Cote Ste. Anne investigation
which was made under the work of exploring for scallops in 1927, was mostly
sandy, but there were parts where it was rocky or stony. Yet the suitable
material composition of the sea-bed was counteracted by multitudes of sea-
urchins, sand-dollars and sea-cucumbers, among which flatfishes, skates, crabs,
etc., were moving about, and no scallops in drags totalling 3,800 yards were
obtained.
The material composing the sea-beds therefore, in such cases as given
above, will not solely account for either the absence or presence of scallops,
for much is attributable to the kinds of organisms, and their numbers, indigenous
to the places where respectively they do or do not occur.
There are places at the maritime coasts where a very varied but well
balanced fauna exists and thrives. The fine red-?and-stone formation of which
Prince Edward Island is composed affords an admirable instance of a place
of the kind. The coasts of Prince county, P.E.I. , differ considerably, either in
the material composition of its sea-beds or in the manner of distribution of
the living organisms indigenous to those beds, from those of all the other coasts
where explorations were made in 1927.
The sea-beds there, both in the gulf and strait, are strewn with great
numbers of clean and well preserved shells of bivalve mollusks, among which
there exists just such a fauna in which the scallop has its part, and which, in
the two coasts as taken together, embraces such living forms as horse-mussels
and other bivalve mollusks; univalve mollusks; hermit-crabs; sea-urchins,
sand-dollars, and star-fishes, but more or less in moderate numbers; tunicates;
annelids; sea-anemonies; and sponges. Of these any manifest harm occasioned
to the scallops seemed to be, when the beds were examined, on the part of the
sponges. These were all confined, however, to local spots in the gulf, and any
harm the sponges seemed to cause was simply that sometimes, as massive
growths on the shells, the scallops were heavily laden down with them.
Paralleling as much as possible what had been done on the Prince Edward
Island side of the strait, explorations were made on the New Brunswick side.
128 MARINE AND FISHERIES
but after extensive raking with far less success. Thus, out of some 11,625 yards
drawn only 69 scallops were obtained, and many of those rakings yielded
none, whilst it was only at points bordering towards w^here they had been
found more or less plentiful when approached from Prince Edward Island, that
there was any manifest increase in the numbers. This was in marked contrast
to the findings on the Prince Edward Island side, where out of 3,775 yards
253 scallops were obtained. Light is thus thrown on the manner in which the
scallops are distributed at the northern terminus of the strait of Northumber-
land, and as I apprehend the scallop resource in the two provinces, taken
in toto, is one and the same, bearing this in view, the only way apparently
that New Brunswick fishermen could profitably engage in scallop fishing would
be by going out from their owm coast for at least ten miles until they got to
where the scallops exist in greater numbers as approached from Prince Edward
Island.
The scallops of the gulf differed in certain physical respects from those of
the strait. In general they presented a clearer and more attractive appearance,
but although usually of good size, none were found exceeding 6 inches across.
Off Alberton, 3^ miles SE., in one drag over 300 yards, two rakes being used,
no less than 187 scallops were obtained.
In the Nova Scotian part of the Northumberland strait explorations were
made starting from Wallace, Cumberland county, and off Big island, Meri-
gomish, Pictou. county. At both these places there were great wastes of the soft
mud of which mention has already been made.
In the former investigation the boat cruised about points beyond the har-
bour until, in so far as could be gathered, abreast of shores of Pictou county.
Great stretches of the sea-bed in this region were composed of the soft mud in
which hardly any living organisms of any sort existed, save an occasional stray
crab or star-fish, and even where the bed was composed of sand or rock the
effect of those great wastes was maintained, so that the fauna, although some-
times varied as to kind, was generally scarce in numbers. The whole environ-
ment was unadapted as a habitat of the scallop, and out of drags covering some
9,925 yards only 25 scallops were found. Scallops therefore do not exist at this
part of the coast in any considerable numbers, let alone that they are not there
in paying quantities.
As to the investigation made off Big island, the next and final one of the
strait, the bed of the sea there was little else than a great waste of soft mud
similar to that referred to under the Wallace investigation, so soft indeed that
the material simply passed through the mesh of the drag as through a sieve,
and when brought to the surface was as a rule entirely empty. Of living things
there were exceedingly few, and in so far as scallops were concerned, out of
drags totalling some 4,355 yards not a single scallop was obtained.
The final explorations were engaged in at various inshore waters of the east
coast of Nova Scotia facing the Atlantic.
A very extensive examination was made of Chcdabucto bay, but only nine
scallops in all were found. The sea-bed of this bay is of very varied composi-
tion. According to spots the material consisted of rocks, stones, gravel, sand,
or mud. At spots there were growths of kelp or of sponges, and at spots again
sunken or dead eel-grass, sea-weeds, or other materials were mixed in a great
mass. Instead of the clean and well-preserved mollusk shells such as were
found strewn upon the sea-beds at coasts of Prince county, P.E.I. , there were
worn or broken valves of mollusk shells often in more moderate numbers, and
they included some valves of scallop shells. The faunal forms were as a rule
multitudinous but distributed very irregularly, there being spots where no living
thing of any kind was to be found.
FISHERIES BRANCH 129
The present condition therefore of Chedabucto bay with its numerous sea-
urchins, mixed with which were sand-dollars, ophiurians, star-fishes, sea-
cucumbers, sponges, hydroids, sea-anemonies, crabs, dead barnacles, mussels
and other mollusks, tunicates, fiat-fish'es, etc., is little other than a hetero-
geneous wilderness altogether unadaptable as a habitat of the scallop, and that
any scallops exist there at all is only by casual occurrence.
At Whitehead, Country harbour and adjacent localities, and Port Dufferin
no scallops were obtained.
At Whitehead the sea-bed was composed of sand, stones, mud, and muck,
with growths of sea-weeds, and there were valves of mollusk shells, including
some valves of scallop shells. At one spot among the weeds there were multi-
tudes of sea-urchins; two sand-dollars were brought up with the muck; other-
wise besides two horse-mussels, a limpet, a tunicate, and an egg-capsule of a
skate, practically no faunal forms were found.
At Country harbour, including Isaac's harbour, cape Mocodome, etc., the
sea-bed was composed of rocks and mud. At a spot among the mud at Country
harbour there w^ere numerous star-fishes and a flat-fish; a few star-fishes, a
sea-urchin, and Spirorbis attached to bits of sea-weed were found where the
sea-bed was composed of soft mud at Isaac's harbour; there were lots of sea-
urchins on a harcl bottom at Cape Mocodome; otherwise the faunal forms w^ere
few or none at all. A few valves of mollusk shells, including one valve of a
scallop shell, were found at cape Mocodome.
Off Port Dufferin the sea-bed was composed of rocks, gravel, and mud.
Multitudes of sea-urchins were found at a locality where the sea-bed was com-
posed of rock and gravel with sea-weeds; otherwise except some star-fishes and
a hojse-mussel no faunal forms were found.
It need not be conjectured from the preceding paragraphs that all the
inshore waters of Guysboro and Halifax counties must necessarily be entirely
destitute of scallops, and in measure it is already known that such is not the
case. A complete exploration, however, would require to be made before it can
definitely be known where the scallops exist and where in general they do not
in those inshore waters, as the following evidence may tend to show.
At Ecum Secum, which is situated between those counties, an investigation
was made in 1926 and 207 scallops were obtained. It is true that although the
occurrence of scallops at that place fell short of what had been expected through
representations, nevertheless in proportion to the size of the area, scallops both
on the Halifax county side and on the Guysboro county side were found to be
there. On the Halifax side in seven rakings there were 64 scallops and on the
Guysboro side in six rakings 143 scallops. Moreover, judging by heaps of shells
which were seen and which had been lying on the land since 1925, and from
heaps of shells seen at wharves or lying in the water, it was apparent that con-
siderable fishing had been engaged in. The indications, however, were that
owing to the circumscribed size of the area extensive fishing could not be
indefinitely engaged in, and the circumstance of having in thirteen rakings
procured 207 scallops is simply mentioned as an instance of a locality where
scallops exist in contradistinction to other localities at coasts of those two
counties where it was found they do not exist.
A complete exploration therefore of the inshore waters of Halifax and
Guysboro counties is as yet a desideratum in view of its being fully known
where at that part of the coast of Nova Scotia facing the Atlantic the scallop
areas are.

The following concerns what was ascertained as to the spawning functions
of the scallop.
Throughout the period of the observations in tlie gulf of St. Lawrence and
northern part of the strait of Northumberland, which extended from July 27
until August 22, there were no indications of spawning. The gonads in all the
scallops were full and expanded, and in colour those of the males were a beauti-
ful cream and those of the females a vivid red^ which was in keeping with what
had been ascertained at all other localities where mj^ observations hitherto
were engaged in.
After then, between August 30 and October 3, only 34 scallops, all told,
were obtained, 25 under the Wallace investigation and 9 in that of Chedabucto
bay, the particulars of which are as follows: —
Wallace
August 30. A female o'btained off Oak island was on the eve of spawning.
August 31. In the case of one male and two females obtained off
McDonald's cove, and O'f 2 males and 8 females obtained off cape John, spawning
was underway, and a scallop (sex indeterminable) obtained off cape John was
practically spawned out.
September 1. Of 5 scallops obtained off cape Cliff, in one male and 3
females spawning was underway and in one male spawning was advanced.
138 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Thus, in some wise, "by that time of the year the fimction of spawning
was manifested in the instances of 20 out of 25 scallops. Nevertheless, except
in the scallop of which the sex could not be determined, the colours of the
gonads were still maintained and were even in some cases bright.
There was an interval of time (during which the Big Island investigation
was engaged in, at which place no scallops were found) between the Wallace
and Chedabucto bay explorations, and the following particulars concern what
was ascertained, through the 9 scallops obtained, relative to spawning at the
latter place.
Chedabucto Bay
September 12. Spawning in a male scallop was proceeding, but there were
multitudes of sperms still in the gonad.
September 13. The gonad of a male was evidently caving in, but it still
contained millions of sperms, and the creamy colour w\as still retained. In
another male the milt was copious, and the gonad contained millions of sperms,
the colour being still retained. The gonad of a female was getting spent, but
it still contained numbers of eggs, and the red colour was retained. Another
female had still numerous eggs in the gonad and the colour was retained.
There was also another scallop (apparently obtained on the 13th) of which
the sex was indeterminate as the gonad was spent of the sex elements and the
colour was therefore faded out.
September 14. The gonad of a female was thinning out, but it still con-
tained multitudes of eggs and the colour was vivid red. The gonad of another
scallop, the sex of which could not be determined, was empty of the sex ele-
ments and the colour was faded out.
September 22. A scallop, possibly a female as there seemed to be the
slightest tinge of red left was spawned out.
Such were the spawning conditions of the 9 scallops obtained at Cheda-
bucto bay, between the dates of 12th and 22nd September, and I could tell
by the conditions, that in general from then on the process would have been
rapid, and have no doubt through my past experience that by the end of
September spawning would practically have been over.
Mention is here made of two specimens of Pecten islandicus obtained a
number of miles off Miminegash on July 29. This species of scallop occurs at
coasts of Europe including Iceland (from whence it derives its name), and
extends, but sparsely, into our Atlantic waters, and years ago I found it when
dredging in the waters of the gulf of St. Lawrence. Both the specimens were
males, and the condition of the gonad paralleled that of our own commercial
scallop at that time of the year, being compact and full and of a similar creamy
colour. The shells were handed over to Doctor Huntsman at the Experimental
Station, Halifax.
The following tabulations of the measurements of scallop shells, wliich
were prepared for Doctor Huntsman and delivered at the Experimental Station,
Halifax, will illustrate the sizes and the proportion of males to females of the
scallops, according to the respective sources from which they were obtained.
The specimens queried mostly concern those of which the sex was indetermin-
able on account of the stage of development of the sex elements, so that the
colours of the gonads, by which the sexes are distinguishable had faded out.
Besides those, however, a few were not determined for other reasons. The
sex of a scallop attached by byssus to the inside of a shell of Cythacrea, owing
to its small size (1^ inches) was not determined, nor was that of another on
account of the scallop being in >bad condition, whilst in the case of a third the
sex had not been ascertained for some unrecorded reason, as came to light on
measuring the shell after the scallop itseilf had been disposed of.

EXAMINATIOX OF OYSTEE BEDS
Neither at Upper Caraquet bay nor at Baie du Yin, where the examina-
tions were made, were the beds found to be in good shape.
In the former the oysters exist at the western end of the bay in an area
of about one and a quarter miles by one mile, and are more numerous on the
Maisonette side than they are on the Upper Caraquet side. The bay is sup-
plied with fresh water by two rivers, known as tlie north and south rivers, and
the south river is a more considerable body of water than the north river.
Great masses of debris, composed of dead oyster and dead mussel shells,
sometimes mingled with dead eel-grass and mud, were brought up by the rakes,
and the hand had often to be passed through that material in order to find the
living oysters.
This spot of the Baie Chaleur, however, lias according to its size doubt-
less been in the past a good Oyster resort with a good quality oyster.
The oysters are now of small size, the great majority of those obtained
were under three inches in length, and it may be that the oysters of this place
have never been of any considerable size.
The following tabulation of the measurements of 103 oysters obtained in
Upper Caraquet bay presents a comparison of the numbers of those under 3
inches with those of 3 inches and over.

As regards the physical nature of the sea-bed, or what by nature pertained
to it, there is the following to be stated: —
The bed was almost entirely composed of a mixture of sand and mud, with
hardly such a thing as a stone, and there was an unlimited supply of food, as
diatoms of various kinds were found in sediment from oyster and mussel shells,
in the water in the pail, and in the digestive gland of the oyster.
Besides dead oyster and dead mussel shells, in spots there were living
mussels that outnumbered the living oysters, to the detriment of the latter.
Sometimes the oysters were rather ladened with mussels, and on one of the
larger oysters nine good-sized mussels were attached. But there were few
attachments of other living objects on the oysters. A few specimens, alive or
dead, of slipper shells {Crepidula) of the two s'peicies indigenous to Maritime
waters were found.
Towards the north side of the bay numerous medusoids (jelly-fishes) were'
floating through the water, but unless such might be liarmful to the floating
oyster spat they could not be injurious to the oyster; and in general free moving
forms on the sea-bed were so scarce as to be hardly worthy of mention, and no
star-fishes were found.
The examination of the Upper Caraquet bay oyster bed was made on and
between the diates of July 6 and 12. The spawning time was not then on, but
it seemed apparent it was about to be.
The examination of oyster beds of Bale du Vin was made on the 9th of
November.
The purpose of the visit was chiefly to examine the sizes of the oysters,
which on certain beds were said to be veiy small. Those reputed beds were
three in number, viz: Oyster point. Egg island, and Blue Rock beds. The
distances between them were estimated approximately to be 1-^ miles between
the first mentioned and the second, 2 miles between the second and third, and
87 miles between the first and third.
The examination of specimens was made when out with the local overseer
in his boat, his guardian being also on board, when a sufficient number were
obtained for the purpose required, besides which, the oyster fishing season being
then open, specimens were also examined when among the fishing boats which
were crowded in their operation? on or bordering the Blue Ro>ck bed, whi'ch was
one of the beds where the oysters were alleged to be so small.
A representation had been made that, as the oysters on those beds did not
exceed 2-^ or 2| inches in size, unless fishermen were permitted to take oysters
of smaller size than the present regulation covers they could not make the
fishing profitable.
142
MARINE AND FISHERIES
In itself, however, the claim as to the undersize of the oysters on those
beds was not strictly correct, as besides undersized ones, specimens of 3 inches
or over were obtained, as the following tabulation will show: —

Measurements according to the beds were: Oyster point, 11 below legal
size and 2 above 3 inches; Egg island, 4 below legal size and 5, 3 inches or over;
and Blue rock, 4 below legal size and 6, 3 inches or over.
But everything considered, and allowing for wdiat has been shown about
there being oysters of larger size than represented, the beds, especially Oyster
Point bed, were in poor shape. No wonder that there are not enough oysters
within the present regulation size to make the fishing profitable, for there
could be little chance, with such a crowd of boats operating on the beds, for
many of the undersized or coming up oysters to exceed the minimum regula-
tion size.
As a matter of fact it was hard work to get fishermen to distinctively
show W'here the location of the Blue Rock bed was, as a spot apart from the
entire area over which the boats were operating, and all that can be said from
what had been seen is, it cannot be long, under the present condition, before
all three beds will be depleted of oysters of three inches or over in size.
That is the condition of the Oyster point bed now, and the percentage of
oysters measured from that bed was about 84+ under regulation size and about
loj over three inches.
During the time of the shell-fish investigations two demonstrated addresses
were delivered to the fishermen and fishery officers. One was a talk on the
oj^ster in the schoolhouse at Upper Caraquet, and the other a talk on the scallop
and lobster at Alberton. As opportunity was afforded I had also conversations
concerning shell-fish with fishermen personally or in groups.
In the course of the fiscal year various questions bearing on the natural
history of marine or other aquatic organisms were referred to me, and a col-
lection of fishes from the arctics made by Mr. J. D. Sop-er, was by request of
the Victoria Memorial Museum examined by me, and an account of the same,
entitled: "Notes on a collection of Arctic Fishes," the result of the examina-
tion, was sent to the museum, a copy of which is on file.

APPENDIX No. 4
REPORT OF C. BRUCE, A.M.E.I.C, FISHERIES ENGINEER
Work in this branch included that under the headings, —
(a) Clearing Rivers and Building Fishways.
(6) Fish Culture.
(c) Biological Stations.
(d) General.
Under the heading "Clearing Rivers and Building Fishways" the following
works were performed: —
NOVA SCOTIA
Sahnon River, Yarmouth County. — Owing to representations that fishways
should be installed in several dams on this river, a general inspection was made.
The first two dams from the mouth of the river are opened up to the passage
of fish by about the first of April allowing both salmon and alewives to ascend
as far as Hooper lake. Evidence was obtained that no good purpose would be
served in opening the river above this point as it is small and sluggish and,
moreover, the bottom is in many places full of old decayed sawdust to con-
siderable depth.
Eel River, Yarmouth County. — Inspection was made relative to the
necessity for having a guardian on duty during the time alewives are running.
Barrington River, Shelbvrne County. — Inspections of the fishways in the
Woollen Mill and F^lectric Light dams made. Owing to representations that
salmon were ascending the tailrace channels from both of these dams, provid-
ing thereby favourable poaching conditions, arrangements were made to have
these channels screened during the period when salmon are ascending. Arrange-
ments were also made for some slight improvement to the fishway in the
Electric Light dam.
Jordan River, Shelbume County. — The fishway in the dam at the mouth
of the river was rebuilt, the type of construction being changed to improve it.
A wing dam was also built to confine the water around the foot of the fishway
and a channel opened from this to the centre of the river.
The fishway in the second dam was altered so that the lower entrance
would be submerged during low water.
The cost of work above outlined was $643.27.
Green Harbour River, Shelbume County. — During the last several years
a fair run of salmon has been entering this river,, possibly due to the facts that
the Jordan river, not far distant, was blocked and that the development of
electric power has stabilized the flow to a greater extent than was the case
formerly. An inspection of the river was made to determine the necessity for
deepening shallow portions to make them more readily accessible for salmon.
Owing to abnormally high water during the early fall it was impossible to carry
out the works contemplated.
Mersey River, Liverpool County. — The fishways built in the five dams on
this river in 1923, have proved eminently satisfactory. The first return of
salmon in any appreciable numbers was noted in 1926, and during the season
144 MARINE AND FISHERIES
of 1927. angling was good with large catches. Some small repairs were made
to the concrete wing walls of the fishways where frost had broken off pieces
during the previous winter. Owing to the liability of debris collecting and
blocking the upper entrances of the first two fishways heavy log booms were
provided. The expenditure entailed was $193.67.
An inspection was made of the storage dam at Indian Gardens at the foot
of lake Rossignol and plans prepared for a fishway therein, but owing to later
information that the Nova Scotia Po^er Commission would likely proceed with
extensive power developments during the season of 1928. no action to require
this fishway was taken.
Petite Riviere, Lunenburg County. — A general inspection was made of the
fishways on this river and arrangements made for improving conditions at the
Conquerall Mills dam, enlarging one of the pools in the fishway and opening
up a channel in the river bed below to give salmon a better opportunity of
ascending during low water. An expenditure of $100 was involved in this work.
La Have River, Lunenburg County. — An inspection of the fishway built by
INIessrs. Hollingsworth and AVhitney in the second dam on this river was made
and directions given regarding some modifications which were necessary on
account of errors in construction.
Following an inspection of De Long's dam on the North Branch of the
La Have river, directions were given the owner regarding the construction of
a run-round fishway to replace an old wooden fishway which was in such a
poor state of repair as to be ineffective.
Lequille River, Annapolis County. — An inspection was made of the fish-
way in the hydro-electric power dam owned by the town of Annapolis on this
river, and the mayor was interviewed regarding the repair of the concrete walls
and floor which were broken down in some places.
Annapolis River, Annapolis County. — The fishway in the hydro-electric
power dam at Lawrencetown was inspected and conditions found to be normal.
Nictaux River, Annapolis County. — An inspection was made of the work
done the previous year at Nictaux Falls, which included several concrete wing
dams. Conditions were found to be much improved and a passage for salmon
over the falls is now considered to be assured at practically all stages of water.
The question of improving the fishway in the hydro-electric power dam at the
head of the falls was looked into, but no decision to do any work was reached,
as salmon have got past the dam with very little difficulty.
An inspection was made of the Charles Rogers dam on this river, and as
a result of investigation it was decided that a new concrete fishway should be
built. Surveys were made from which designs will be made with a view to
having the fishway built in the summer of 1928.
Cornwallis River, Kings County. — Plans for a fishway having been pre-
viously served on Mr. J. W. Cook, owner of a small dam on this river, a fur-
ther inspection was made to arrange for details regarding which Mr. Cook was
desirous of having further information.
Gaspereaux River, Kings County. — Owing to increased fluctuation in the
head of water at the hydro-electric power dam on this river at White rock,
arrangements were made to effect some slight modifications to the upjier
entrance of the fishway to reduce the velocity of water.
Herbert River, Hants County. — An inspection and survey were made for
the construction of a fishway in a small dam recently built by Mr. Ira S.
Crowe. Plans for the fishway were subsequently i)repared.
FISHERIES BRANCH 145
Meander River, Hants County. — An inspection was made of an old dam
on this river which had recently been closed for log driving purposes. In an:
interview with the owner it was agreed that he would provide an opening
through the dam to permit the passage of salmon during the period of the run,
in lieu of building a fishway.
Osier River, Halifax County. — An inspection of the fishway built during
the spring in Boutillier's dam was made.
Nine Mile River, Halifax County. — At the request of Messrs. Geo. Fraser
& Sons, Timberlea, that plans for a fishway in their dam on this river be sup-
plied, a survey was made and the plans subsequently sent to them.
A small obstruction to the passage of salmon was removed at a cost of $5.
Ingram River, Halifax County. — An inspection was made of the fishway
in Messrs. Miller Brothers' dam. Conditions were found to be unsatisfactory,
the dam being in such a leaky condition that it would not retain a head of
water sufficient to supply a fishway. An arrangement was made with the
owners to undertake certain repairs to the fishway.
Ship Harbour River, Halifax County. — An inspection and survey were
made for a fishway in the dam at the foot of Ship Harbour lake and plans
were subsequently furnished to the owners of the dam. This fishway is to
replace one that was not wholly effective.
Tangier River, Halifax County. — An inspection of the fishway near the
mouth of the river was made and slight repairs arranged which were carried
out by the overseer at a cost of $3.38.
East River Sheet Harbour, Halifax County. — An inspection of the fish-
way built by the Nova Scotia Power Commission in their intake dam at Ruth
Falls hydro-electric power development was made and the Commission notified
regarding some slight modifications which were considered desirable to make
it more effective.
In Cape Breton Island a number of the smaller streams require some
attention every year. Owing to the hilly nature of the country and conse-
quent heavy run-off during freshets .they frequently become obstructed with
old logs, uprooted trees and debris which in many cases form a complete
barrier to the ascent of trout and salmon. Obstructions of this nature are
removed by day labour under the supervision of the fishery overseer. The
following is a list of the streams from which obstructions were removed with
the cost: —
Southwest brook, Cape Breton county S249 25
Noithwest brook, Cape Breton county 50 00
Ferguson's brook. Cape Breton county 49 50
Nicholson's brook. Cape Breton county 44 95
Bcnacadie river, Cape Breton county 48 95
Bis brook, Inverness county 20 00
Murray's brook, Richmond county 269 95
NEW BRUNSWICK
Mispec River, St. John County. — There has been for a number of years a
stone dam at the mouth of this river, upwards of fifty feet in height. The
question of providing a fishway for salmon has been considered on a number
of occasions previously, but owing to the heavy cost of construction and doubt
as to the efficiency of any structure which might be built, no action was taken.
Last year a large gate through the dam, at a height about six feet above
the bottom, was blown out by persons interested in providing a passage for
salmon. Following this it was observed that salmon were attempting to ascend
by jumping at the gate opening, but were unable to do so.
Surveys were made for the provision of a fishway which would enable
their ascent.
C8927--10
146 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Hammond River, St. John County. — An inspection was made of a dam on
this river which, it was alleged, prevented the ascent of salmon. 'The dam,
which was originally built for log-driving purposes was unused and the gates
were open. As the ascent through the gate openings only involved a jump of
about two feet, it was not considered that any action to improve conditions
was necessary. Later investigation confirmed this view, information being
obtained that salmon were seen above the dam.
Skiff Lake, York County. — An examination and survey were made at the
outlet of this lake for data in connection with the provision of screens to pre-
vent the descent of land-locked salmon into the outlet stream, from which, it
was alleged they were unable to return.
Aroostook Fiver, Victoria County. — The Aroostook river, a tributary of
the St. John river, is practically all in the state of Maine. The Aroostook
Power Company has a large hydro-electric dam on the river a short distance
above the confluence. While the Canadian Government has not been inter-
ested in the river, owing to the fact that any salmon ascending would be for
the benefit of the state of Maine, the Government of that state has urged that
provision be made for the ascent of solmon. At the request of the Commissioner
of Inland Game and Fisheries for Maine, an inspection of the dam was made
in company with officials of his department. As a result of the conference
following the inspection, it was agreed that the State Department would under-
take to provide a fishway and make all the necessary arrangements with the
Power Company relating thereto.
MANITOBA
Following an inspection of several rivers, in previous years, designs for
fishways in several dams were prepared and furnished to the owners of the
dams for execution of the work.
During the current year, fishways were built in the following locations by
the companies indicated: —
Whitemud river, at Gladstone, Canadian Pacific Railway.
Whitemud river, at Westbourne, CaDadian Pacific Railway.
Ochre river, at Ochre, Canadian National Railway.
Vermilion river, at Dauphin, Canadian National Railway.
Pipestone creek, at Belhdew, Canadian National Railway.
SASKATC HEW^ AN
Designs were furnished and fishways built during the current year as
follows: —
Qu'Appelle river, at Craven. Department of Public AVorks.
Gravelbourg, Canadian National Railway.
ALBERTA
Designs were furnished and fishway built during the current year by the
Canadian Pacific Railway in their dam on the Vemilion river.
BRITISH COLUMBIA
Marble Creek, Vancouver Island. — An obstruction consisted of an accumu-
lation of debris, logs, roots and stumps extending for a distance of one hundred
and fifty feet in the stream bed and piled twenty feet high within the canyon
walls. All material above water level was cut and blasted into small pieces
v/hich, it was expected, would lloat to sea in freshet. Subsequently it was
reported that certain submerged logs which could not be dealt with at the time,
had come to the surface and in their course down the stream had lodged in
FISHERIES BRANCH 147
a narrow stretch of river holding up a portion of the cut material as well as
;ill drift being carried down by the stream. The removal of this new jam is
being attended to so as to ensure the permanence of thei main work. The
removal of this obstruction was under the supervision of the engineers, the cost
being $1,676.55.
A number of smaller obstructions were removed from streams under the
direct supervision of the overseer or guardian, in each instance, as follows: —

Stamp River, Vancouver Island. — A fishway was built over Stamp falls,
under the direct supervision of the engineering staff, at a cost of $7,015.58. The
work involved the excavation of 648 cubic yards of solid rock and the placing of
91 cubic yards of concrete. Owing to unusually high water, the execution of
the work was a matter of considerable difficulty and completion was retarded
until the latter end of September, when the main body of the sockeye run was
over. Those salmon arriving after completion of the work passed up through
tlie fishway without difficulty. This fishway will be the means of relieving
the situation at this point which, in the past, has made necessary the passing
of fish over the falls by hand.
Fraser River, Bridge River Falls. — A fishway was excavated entirely in
solid rock, under the direction of the engineering staff, at a cost of $643.17.
Owing to the great range of water in the canyons and narrow places on the
Fraser river, such fishways are useful only during the particular stages of the
river for which they are intended. This fishway was 'built to operate at the
lowest stages of flow which was only recorded for a very short period of time
during last season. The conditions for this stage of water have been greatly
improved by the fishway.
Nicola Lake. — A fishway thirty-six feet long and six feet wide was incor-
porated in the dam constructed during the year at the foot of Nicola lake, near
the town of Nicola, B.C., permitting salmon to pass without difficulty.
Hell's Gate, Fraser River. — Owing to the fact that salmon are unable, at
certain stages of water, to negotiate the rapids at Hell's Gate, a board of
Engineers comprising representatives from the Department of Public Works,
the Water Power and Reclamation Service, the provincial Department of Fish-
cries, and the federal Department of Fisheries, was formed, to carry out investi-
gations looking to the necessity and possible means of improving conditions at
this point.
Complete surveys of the ca.nyon at Hell's Gate were conducted, cable
stations established fnr measuring velocities and gauges set both above and
68927— lOJ
148 MARINE AND FISHERIES
below the gate, from which studies of all conditions affecting velocities, turbul-
cncy, etc., were made. The cost of these investigations, which are still in pro-
gress was $2,166.55, and considerable time of the engineering staff was devoted
them.
Baker River Fishway. — This project which involves an elevator designed
to take salmon over a dam about two hundred and sixty-five feet high, located
on Baker river, in the state of Washington, was carefully examined and such
data as was available secured.
Buckley Fiver (Hagivelgat' Canyon). — An inspection was made and report
prepared on the possibility of damage to the river by the construction of new
bridge abutments.
Piintledge River. — Insp'Cction was made of obstructions and directions
given regarding the reconstruction of the fishway in the impounding dam of
the Canadian Collieries (Dunsmuir).
Prospect Lake.— An inspection of the fishway was made.
Under the heading "Fish Culture," the following works were performed: —
NOVA SCOTIA
Yarmoidh Hatchery.. — A careful examination was made of a number of
streams in Yarmouth county for the purpose of selecting a site for a salmon
and trout hatcherj^ establishment, involving surveys to obtain levels and volumes
of discharge. The site finally approved by the department at the outlet lake
George was surveyed for the necessary property and water riglits.
Antigonish Hatchery. — Complete surveys of a site for a salmon and trout
hatchery establishment were made at Fraser's Mills on the South river, this
site having been approved by the department after a number of others had
been eleminated.
Windsor Hatchery. — Owing to the pollution of the stream from which
the water supply for the Windsor Hatchery is obtained by large gypsum min-
ing operations, it was necessary to give consideration to the selection of a new
site. Several streams were examined and preliminary surveys conducted to
determine their suitability for hatchery purposes.
NEW BRUNSWICK
Florenceville Hatchery. — Plans and specifications were prepared and con-
tract let and completed for the construction of a salmon and trout hatchery
establishment at White Marsh creek, near Florenceville, N.B. The work under
Ihis contract included the main building eighty-nine feet ten inches long, and
twenty-three feet wide, and a combination garage and ice house thirty-two feet
long by eighteen feet wide.
The main building contains a six-room dwelling house for the superintend-
ent at one end and two rooms for the assistant with an ofTice over at the other.
The hatching room proper is fifty-three feet long, one storey, with side and
roof lighting. The equipment includes thirty hatching trougiis, standard design,
sixteen feet long. Floors of the hatchery are of concrete througiiout and in
designing it a new feature was introduced, consisting of twelve floor tanks
each twelve feet long, two feet two inches wide, and one foot deep, two tanks
being placed under each cluster of hatching troughs. The tanks are supplied
independently with water from the overflow of the hatching troughs and are
designed primarilly as a means of relieving congestion during tiic liatciiing
: period.
FISHERIES BRANCH 149
The dwelling is heated with hot air furnace, and equipped with sanitary
plumbing, the water supply for which is obtained from a well by an automatic
electric pumping equipment, and the waste from which is discharged into a
septic tank. All buildings throughout are lighted by electricity.
The garage building contains accommodation for two cars or trucks, an
ice room with cold chamber for keeping feed for rearing of fiy, and storage
room overhead.
The water supply for the establishment is obtained from the reservoir
formed by building an earth embankment dam with concrete core-wall, dis-
charge gates and inlet gates, the dam being about one hundred and fifty feet
long and twelve feet high at the gates. Water is conducted to the hatchery by
a six inch wire wound wood stave pipe and to the rearing pond system by a
similar pipe ten inches in diameter.
The rearing pond system consists of eight ponds each one hundred and
twenty-six feet long,, five feet wide and four feet deep, constructed with con-
crete side walls and gravel bottoms, each pond being fed independently from.
the water supply. On account of the lateness of the season, only five of these
ponds w'ere completed, but excavations for the balance were removed and the
whole left in readiness for completion next year.
The construction of the dam and rearing ponds was done by day labour,
under the direct supervision of the Engineers.
St. John Hatchery. — ^The rearing and brooding facilities at this hatchery
were extended by the construction of fourteen ponds, of varying lengths to suit
The ground location, the total length being twenty-one hundred and twenty-
eight feet. Ponds are all four feet wide with side walls of concrete and bottoms
of gravel. The water supply is obtained from Little river reservoir, a new eiglit-
inch wood stave pipe being installed and from a large spring from which an
eight-inch pipe was also laid. Both sources of water supply are led into a
concrete tank where they may be mixed as desired thus regulating to a certain
ex-tent, the temperature of the water before it enters the head trough of the
pond system. The ponds are arranged so that each may be supplied separately
from the head trough or the water may, if desired,, be circulated through two,
three, or more from one supply.
The entire pond system was enclosed in a link chain wire fence three feet
high with a twelve-inch band of smooth galvanized iron around the top to pre-
vent the entrance of mink.
Electricity having become available during the year, the buildings, includ-
ing dwelling, hatchery and garage, were wired and equipped with lighting fix-
tures. Several lights were also established around the pond system controlled
by switches from the dwelling, as a protection against possible poaching.
The hot air furnace in the dwelling was repaired and one new register with
heating pipe installed.
Restigouche Hatchery. — Extensive repairs were made to the establishment
including the renewal of one half the floor in the hatchery, shingling the north
nlope of the roof, repairing foundations, and installing a sanitary closet com-
bination in the superintendent's quarters. The roofs of several outbuildings
were reshingled and repairs made to the water supply to the hatchery.
ALBERTA
Lesser Slave Lake Hatchery, Alberta. — An inspection, covering the entire
length of the lake, was made for the selection of a site for a whitefish hatchery
in Lesser Slave lake. The location finally decided upon as being most suitable
is at Canyon creek on the south side of the lake, about eighteen miles fron)
the lower end. The lake is quite shallow around the shores and is, moreover.
150 MARINE AND FISHERIES
subject to extremely heavy ice floes during the break up in the spring. In the
selection of the site, it was necessary- to find a location that provided fairly
deep water at a reasonable distance from the shore, in order that a water supply
could be obtained. Protection against the heavy run of ice was also necessary
to insure reasonable safety for the intake pipe.
A contract was awarded for the construction of the hatchery in the fall
of the year. The main building is seventy-six feet long and forty feet wide,
fitted with eight hundred and eighty-eight hatching jars providing capacity for
one hundred and thirty million whitefish eggs.
The ground floor is laid out for the hatching room and engine room and
the upper floor is entirely taken up with living quarters which comprise a six
room apartment for the superintendent and seven rooms for the accommoda-
tion of the staff.
Plans and specifications were prepared for a wharf four hundred feet long
which was necessary to provide harbour for the hatchery boats and protection
for the intake pipe.
The work in connection with this establishment will not be completed
until next autumn.
Waterton iMkes Park Hatchery, Alberta. — An inspection covering a num-
ber of streams in southern Alberta was made for the selection of a site for a
Trout hatchery. The location finally decided upon is in the Waterton Lakes
Ts'ational Park. A contract was awarded for the construction of a hatchery
forty-four feet long by twenty-four feet wide and a one storey cottage for the
superintendent, thirty-two feet six inches long and twenty-two feet six inches
wide.
The hatchery is divided into two rooms, one thirty-one feet by twenty-
three feet providing the hatching room and the other twenty-three feet by twelve
feet being fitted as a garage for the hatchery truck.
The hatching room is fitted with fifteen standard hatching troughs sixteen
feet long, and six concrete tanks in the floor, two under each cluster of hatching
troughs, each two feet wide and fourteen feet long. Provision has been made
so that in the event of operations becoming larger, the space occupied by the
garage may be converted into additional hatching room. The water supply
js obtained by gravity through an eight-inch wood stave pipe from Spring
creek where a small concrete dam was built to provide a reservoir.
The dwelling is fitted with sanitary plumbing, the water supply for which
is piped from Spring creek, the discharge being into a septic tank. A hot air
furnace is provided for heating.
Jasper Park Subhatchery, Alberta. — A subsidiary hatchery was arranged
-in a long cabin nineteen feet long by fifteen feet wide, a building formerly used
■by one of the park guardians. Ten standard hatching troughs were installed
■with the other requisite equipment, providing a capacity for two hundred and
lifty thousand Trout eggs.
BRITISH COLUMBIA
Nelson Hatchery, B.C. — Improved quarters for the troughs and equipment
'of this hatchery were obtained in the basement of the Armoury in Nelson, and
the hatchery was moved into them.
Summerland Hatchey, B.C. — A concrete block building thirty feet long
and sixteen and one-half feet wide was purchased from the municipality of
Summerland for the establishment of a small hatchery on Okanagan lake, the
water supply being- from the overflow of springs used by the municipality for
water services.
The building was refloored and fitted with a whitefish battery of fifty-two
jars and with eight standard hatching troughs for trout, each fourteen feet long.
FISHERIES BRANCH 151
In the basement, under the main floor, a whitefish tank for fry, twenty feet
long and four feet wide, and two tanks for trout fry, each twenty feet long by
three feet wide, were installed. The building is lighted by electricity.
Stuart Lake Hatchery, B.C. — The entire foundation logs, and such of the
wall logs as were rotted, were renewed with sound timber. The work was done
under the supei^ision of the engineering staff with local labour.
Francois Lake Hatchery, B.C. — A survey was made by the engineering
staff for purposes of estimate for a site and construction of a hatchery. A small
log building was built on the Nadina river flowing into Francois lake, to provide
shelter for egg-planting operations in that district.
Lakelse Hatchery, B.C. — A new boat-house and marine ways were con-
structed to house the new hatchery boat, which is considerably longer and heavier
than the one it replaced.
Under the heading " Biological Stations ", the following works were per-
formed:—
Marine Laboratory, Eastern Passage, Halifax County. — Following the deci-
sion by the department to erect this station, the site was inspected and after-
wards acquired. A number of conferences were held with Dr. A. G. Huntsman,
Director of the Fisheries Experimental Station, after which plans and specifica-
tions for the laboratory were prepared. The building is seventy-five feet long
and thirty-two feet six inches wide, with basement, one floor above and attic
space for storage, supply-tanks, etc. Construction is concrete foundations and
hollow tile walls faced with brick work. The basement has concrete floor and is
subdivided into several rooms required for laboratories, work room and engine
room.
The first floor is reinforced concrete construction supported on columns, and
subdivided into the several laboratories, common room and office.
The building is equipped with sanitary plumbing, electric lighting and elec-
trical outlets for laboratory purposes.
Under the heading " (leneral " may be classed the inside work of the
engineering staff, which included the preparations of numbers of plans for
equipment, special maps relating to the fisheries and the preparation of reports
and other office work.
The engineering staff supervised the establishment of anchorages for fish-
ing boundary signs at Big Qualicum, Little QuaJicum river and Oyster river, in
British Columbia.

APPENDIX NO. 10
REPORT OF MR. J. J. COWIE AND :MR. G. R. EARL OX THEIR WORK
IN CONNECTION WITH THE IMPERIAL ECONOMIC COMMIT-
TEE'S INQUIRY INTO THE MARKETING OF FISH PRO-
DUCTS OF THE EMPIRE (1927)
We, J. J. Cowie, of the Fisheries Department, Ottawa, and G. R. Earl, of
Yarmouth, N.S., having been duly appointed to represent Canada on the
Imperial Economic Committee during its inquiry into the fisheries resources of
the Empire with a view to discovering a means by which the marketing of fish
produced within the Empire may be promoted in Great Britain, proceeded to
London and attended the meetings of the committee throughout the month of
June and the first half of July last.
The committee's report has now been published. In addition to the
reasoned conclusions and recommend.ations of the committee, it contains a vast
amount of information of a very valuable kind. We, therefore, leave the report
to speak for itself, and give herein a summarized account of the information
and evidence furnished to the committee by us, from the point of view of
Canada. We also incorporate in this report the results of personal inquiries
carried on amongst the fish trade of Great Britain, with particular regard to
the possibilities of profitably shipping fresh fish from Canada to the markets
of that country.
C.\n.\da's Fishery Resources
We, in the first place, submitted a lengthy memorandum describing the
various individual fisheries and the methods by which each is prosecuted on
the Atlantic coast, in the interior lakes, and on the Pacific coast of Canada.
Copies of this memorandum were distributed to the members of the committee
for their information and guidance. It should be noted that the committee
confined its attention to fish and fish products which enter largely into the
food of the people of Great Britain.
The Need of Extended Maeketing
In our evidence before the committee, it was emphasized that while
Canada's fishing population is relatively large, the total population is com-
paratively small and widely separated; that the Canadian market, therefore,
only consumes a fraction of the total production of Canadian fish and that the
great bulk of it has to find a market outside the boundaries of Canada in either
a fresh, salted, or canned condition. It was further pointed out that the effect
of the present high tariff against Canadian fish entering the United States has
been not only to make it difficult — if not almost impossible — to continue profit-
ably to ship certain kinds of fish to that country, but to cause our young fisher-
men to seek more remunerative employment in fishing vessels of the United
States, where many of them settle and are definitely lost as citizens of Canada
and the Empire.
It was impressed on the committee that we were already not seeking to
injure the British fishing industry by adding to the competition it has to meet
from foreign importations, but that we did feel that there might be some means
found by which the ver>' large British importations of fresh fisli from Norway.
Germany, and Denmark could be displaced by fresh fish from the IMaritime
Provinces of Canada, to the end that our fishermen might be retained therein
and profitably employed.
FISHERIES BRANCH 205
Possibilities of Relieving Canadian Situation
It was pointed out there are two ways bj' which tlie situation in Eastern
Canada could be improved: One is by the shipment of fresh fish in ice to the
British market. The committee was informed that it had been clearly demon-
strated that such fish can be landed overseas in excellent condition but that
transportation difficulties retard development until the volume of the traffic,
by some means, has grown sufficiently to overcome them of itself. The other
is by freezing the fish under the quick process known as brine freezing which
leaves the fish, when defrosted, with all the original juices it contained when
taken from the sea. It was pointed out that the Canadian fishing grounds were
so near the shore in many places as to make possible the landing of fish almost
alive, and, if frozen, could be placed on the British markets in a much better
and fresher state than most of the so-called fresh fish landed there direct from
the fishing grounds.
The committee was further informed that the marketing of brine frozen
fish would have this great advantage: the fish need not be dumped on an over-
supplied market, but could be held in storage until the markets had recovered
and prices had risen.
The adoption of this means of marketing by the British trade, as well as
the Canadian trade, would stabilize supply, demand and prices and push out
the existing antiquated method of hurrying fresh fish to market and selling
them immediately, whether the supply is such as to constitute a glut or a
scarcity.
Canned Salmon
On the strength of a memorandum dealing with the marketing of cans of
salmon for sale in Great Britain, which was submitted to the committee two
years ago and which we were called upon to bring up to date, the committee
was instrumental in securing an amendment to the British Merchandise Marks
Act last year, which calls for the country of origin to be shown on the can or
label when the goods are exposed for sale.
By this means, the British consumer will be enabled to select Empire canned
salmon in preference to the foreign product. It has to be noted,, however, that
this is in the nature of a two-edged weapon and unless British Columbia packers
scrupulously maintain a high standard of quality, the name Canada on a can
of salmon may work to their disadvantage. The effect of the amended marking
act is meantime being closely followed.
With a view to having the information passed on to the Empire Marketing
Board, we drew the committee's attention to three cases of evident unfair mark-
ing. Such canned salmon from three British dealers were found to be on sale
in Calcutta, India, as well as in England. In the one case the label simply
named the contents as " Fresh Salmon ". There was nothing to show whether
the fish were sockeye or chums, and nothing to indicate whether the fish were
canned in Siberia or Canada. In the second case the Union Jack was promin-
ently displayed on the label, no doubt to give the impression that the contents
were produced within the Empire, but in very small letters appeared the legend
" Product of Siberia ". In the third cnse the contents were designated " Salmon
Steak ". No doubt all three consisted of cheap Siberian salmon, which, under
an Imperial masquerade, were being sold at a British Columbia sockeye price.
Scientific Research
The committee was informed in a full manner of what is being accomplished
in research work in Canada, through the agency of the Marine Biological Board.
It was explained that a biological station is maintained at St. Andrews, N.B..
where scientists from the various universities carry on marine research durins
206 MARINE AND FISHERIES
the summer months, which is followed up later at their respective universities;
that an experimental station had been established at Halifax, N.S., within the
last two years for applying the scientific knowledge obtained to the practical
work of the industry; that two similar stations were maintained on the Pacific
coast, and that research work was also being carried on in the inland lake
waters.
As an example of what is being done towards applying scientific knowledge
to commercial practice, it was pointed out that a small plant is nearing com-
pletion at the Halifax station for the purpose of testing and demonstrating the
economic value of the adoption of brine freezing for storing and marketing fresh
fish, and that similar work is being undertaken at our Prince Rupert station.
In this connection, it is highly gratifying to find that the committee's prin-
cipal recommendation is in effect what we suggested and what we are now
doing at our experimental stations: That, as the prime essential in improved
marketing of fresh fish lies in preserving it in the best condition for sale when
and where markets are suitable, and that co-ordinated research such as we are
already conducting at Halifax be started on both sides of the Atlantic with a
view to determining the best means of preservation.
In addition to the formal evidence given to the committee by us, we had
the opportunity of going more fully into the details connected with our fish
marketing problems when the committee's report was being drafted and dis-
cussed.
Personal Investigations
In the intervals between the various meetings of the committee, we fre-
quently visited Billingsgate market; we also visited the markets of Grimsby,
Liverpool, and Fleetwood, saw the conditions at first-hand and studied prices
and methods of distribution.
In general, we found conditions to be still such as were described by Mr.
Cowie in his pamphlet "New Markets for Canadian Fish", covering the result
of his investigation of two years ago.
We confirmed the conclusions then reached by him, that there is room in
the British market for considerable supplies of fresh fish in ice, such as haddock
mainly, of flat fish, also skate wings of the right size and kind, and possibly
some cod, during the fall and winter months when bad weather interferes with
fishing operations over there and prices are frequently high. Remunerative
trading even at that time of the year, however, will depend altogether on the
sending of moderate supplies to begin with, of fish of the freshest quality and
of the sizes required in packages to suit the established trade.
We found that for haddock, flat fish and skate, the desirable box would be
27 inches long, 15 inches wide and 9 inches deep, inside measurement of half
inch for the sides and three quarters inch for the ends, with two thin wire straps
round each end to give support. A box of this size contains 6 stones or 84.
pounds of fish besides the necessary ice. It is very advisable, however, to add
a few ])ounds more at the time of original packing to allow for some shrinkage
in weight. In the event of fairly large cod being shipped, the use of a box
measuring inside 30 inches long 18 inches wide, and 9^ inches deep would be
advisable.
Each of the following sizes of haddock should be packed separately: one
and a half to two pounds; over two and up to three and a half pounds; and
over three and a half pounds; all with the head on including the gills but with
the guts removed. Cod should be i)ackcd separately in sizes of ten to fourteen
pounds, and of over fourteen pounds with the head on including gills but with
the guts removed. Skate wings of medium size are most desirable, and those
with white bellies known in the trade as " roker " bring the best price. These
could be shipped in haddock boxes.
FISHERIES BRANCH 207
Shipments of fresh fish in ice from Canada would have to be sent on con-
signment, and as the price in that, as in any consignment market, is determined
not only by the supply and the demand on any particular day, but by the
condition and size of the fish, the suitability and weight of the package and the
nature of the packing, we cannot do better here than repeat and emphasize
what was said in Mr. Cowie's pamphlet above referred to, viz.: "If this busi-
ness is to be sought after in earnest, I would warn you against the danger of
each shipper setting out to do as he pleases. Unsatisfactory shipments at the
beginning, may wreck the possibilities of a great trade for many years. The
business should be undertaken, therefore, in a systematic way. While any
individual shipper is free to ship his fish overseas, there should be for the pro-
tection of all, and in order to secure and conserve this business which is of
interest to the country as a whole, some sort of organized supervision of the
shipments to insure uniformity in size and kind of package, in weight and
quality of fish and in the method of packing and icing also to regulate shipments
from this side and their distribution on the other side, in order, as far as pos-
sible, to avoid well supplied market days."
In other words, shippers should co-operate to the extent of having all ship-
ments made up and forwarded under the supervision and control of a shipping
committee or of a shipping committee in each district where two or more
shippers desire to test this overseas market.
The opening up of this market would be of far reaching benefit to our shore
fishermen particular^ who produce fish of the more desirable quality. But
as there are shipping difficulties to be overcome and as risks of loss would have
to be undertaken in the beginning we would commend to the consideration of
the department, the matter of giving to shippers financial aid of some kind
during the few initial months to overcome discouragements that may arise from
consignments arriving on unremunerative market days, and to enable them to
hold on and continue until the trade has obtained a sufficient foothold to take
care of itself.
While we feel that there is at present room for such a trade during the
season indicated above, we at the same time strongly feel that if and when
the shipment of brine frozen fish with all the advantages derivable from the
storable quality of such can be developed, the benefits flowing therefrom would
be immensely greater than under existing conditions, because the demand for
and the price of fresh fish in summer would then be equal to what it is now in
the fall and winter.
Canned Fish
We further looked into the possibility of increasing our fish exports by the
development of a trade in canned fish other than salmon and lobsters, and feel
that there is room for such, particularly special lines of our Atlantic sea fish
prepared in this way. But any development along this line would call for con-
centrated and sustained effort to find an opening.
By-Products and Unused Fish
We looked closely into the question of the utilization of fish offal and fish
that for various reasons are unmarketable in Great Britain, and we have reached
the conclusion that there is a great and ever-widening market for fish meal of
the desired quality produced from such.
_ The initial cost of the machinery for meal making is very considerable.
While efforts are being, at present, made to a limited degree to utilize the waste
from steam trawler fishing in Canada, the great field covered by our shore
fishermen along the Atlantic coast lies, as yet, untouched.
208 MARINE AND FISHERIES
When we consider the great economic benefit now derived by raisers of
cattle and pigs by reason of the fact that every scrap of what was at one time
waste material is utilized in the manufacture of some by-product, the market-
ing of which has enhanced the value of such animals, and when we know that
there is an unsatisfied market-hunger for the right quality of meal from fish
waste, we feel that the throwing away of 30 per cent of the large quantities of
fresh fish brought to land by our shore fishermen is a serious economic loss,
which might readily be avoided.
There are machines now capable of extracting a sufficient quantity of the
oil from such fish as dogfish and leaving a high-class meal fit for animal and
poultry feeding. If, then, fish-meal-making plants at which dogfish could be
used as well as the waste from cod and haddock and such like non-oily fish
were in operation at several centres to which material could be taken from
stretches of coast on either side, it would be a very great inducement to fisher-
men to increase their fishing and earning power.
It is well known that at present when dogfish come on the coast, fishermen
practically stop operations rather than continue hauling their lines loaded up
with these fish and with very few or none of the food fishes. But, if the shore
fishermen were once assured that they could dispose of every dogfish and every
other non-edible fish at a price to a meal-making plant, in addition to the
benefit they would derive from the increased quantity of edible fish they would
then bring to land, their outlook and material state would quickly change.
We strongly feel that the establishment of central meal-making plants on
the Atlantic coast is of as much importance as the finding of new markets for
fish as a means of rebuilding our fishing fleets and retaining our fishermen. If,
therefore, firms of standing engaged in the fisheries could be induced and encour-
aged to take hold of this means of development, there would appear to be no
room for doubt that a shore fishery greater than has yet been on the Atlantic
coast would quickly emerge from its present low unprofitable state.
To summarize, in conclusion, the main features of the foregoing report,
which in our opinion w^ould bring immediate beneficial results to the fishing
industry of our Maritime Provinces, we would note that these are two, namely: —
1. The marketing of fresh fish in ice in Great Britain and
2. The establishment of meal-making plants to take care of the great
amount of material at present being wasted.

APPENDIX NO. 11
REPORT ON THE FISHERIES OF THE MACKENZIE RIVER DELTA
Inspector V. A. M. Kemp, R.C.IM.P.
Pacific salmon have not been seen about the mouth of the MacKenzie, or
along this portion of the Arctic coast, as far as is known to the R.C.M. Police
or from incjuiries among the natives.
A species of salmon, variously called " Arctic Trout " and " Salmon Trout,"
is found in the salt waters around the coast, but as the water for some distance
around the mouth of the MacKenzie andl east and west along the coast for'
a radius of twenty or thirty miles, is fresh these are not found in the immediate
vicinity of the Delta. The salmon trout referred to are of a dark green colour
with light coloured bellies, and their weight runs from about two to six pounds.
The meat is very similar to Pacific salmon both as to colour and taste. These
fish are speckled reminding one somewiiat of the speckled trout found in the
rivers in the eastern part of Canada.
Apart from these salmon trout the other salt water fish found on the coast
are herring and tom cod. The herring are the most numerous fish on the coast
and as they are entirely similar to their brethern met with elsewhere in salt
water fisheries, I will not describe them. The tom cod is a small fish from four
to eight inches in length, and is found in the waters after freeze up begins, as
the natives catch them by jigging through the ice. They are rather tasteless
as to meat, and in view of their diminutive size, it takes a considerable catch,
to make a satisfactory meal particularly for the natives to w^hom fish is one of
the main foods. Whether these fish migrate when the severe winter sets in I
am unable to state.
In the fresh waters of the Delta, the fish caught are white fish, jack fish,
loche, crooked backs and conie. The first three named are fairly numerous,
as are also the crooked backs. The conie is not so frequently met with as the
others, but owing to its bulk, a considerable amount of the meat is secured.
The conie weighs up to thirty and forty pounds, and Stefanson, who traces the
origin of the name to the French " L'inconnu " states he has heard of them
reaching as high as seventy pounds, although the largest he saw weighed
forty pounds. He also states that this fish used to be called MacKenzie river
salmon, although it bears no resemblance to the usual variety of salmon.
The two best places for fishing in the district appear to be Shingle Point
and Kittagaruit. The former place is for salt water fishing and herring are
the most common fish caught there. At Kittagaruit, just below the mouth of
the river, the water is fresh, and white fish, crooked backs and conie are found
there.
As marine animals are included in the definition of " fish " according to the
Fisheries Act, I might mention that white whales are fairly numerous around
the mouth of the Mackenzie river. At White Fish Station, some eight miles
from Moose river, the most Westerly outlet of the MacKenzie, these white
whales are fairly plentiful, and the natives hunt them at this place, which
owes its name to the whale in question, the native name for it being " White
Fish." It is highly prized by the Eskimos who eat the flesh and use the skin
for water proof boots.
210 MARINE AND FISHERIES
Bow-head whales are rarely seen in the waters close to the coast, and I
believe it is some vears since one was seen close to Herschel island. Une is
occasionally sighted off Baillie island, but they are by no means common even
in those parts. i . u +u
Hair seals are of course fairly numerous, and are much sought by the
natives, who use the skins for clothing and the meat for food.
The above report covers the various species of fish found in salt and fresh
waters in the vicinity of the MacKenzie Delta.

REPORT
OF THE
DEPUTY POSTMASTER GENERAL
1927-28
Post Office Department,
Ottawa, October 5, 1928.
To the Hon. Peter J. Veniot, LL.D., :M.P.,
Postmaster General of Canada.
I have the honour to submit the following report of the operations of the
Post Office Department for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1928.
Air Mail Service
During the fiscal year 1927-28, close attention was given to the success
attending the efforts throughout the world to convey mails by air, and, with a
view to testing the efficiency of this method in Canada, several experimental
flights were made during the season of navigation on the river St. Lawrence
between Rimouski and Montreal in connection with trans-atlantic mail steam-
ships.
These flights, while establishing the practicability of carrying mail by air
in Canada, also resulted in a decided saving of time in the transmission of mails
between Canada and Great Britain.
The success of these experiments was so pronounced, and the advantages
of carrying mail by air so evident, that it was decided to extend the service to
other points.
While extensive preliminary experimental work is necessary before any
definite consideration can be given to the question of establishing a trans-
Canada air mail route, air mail service has been provided over a number of
shorter distances. Opportunity was taken to have mails conveyed by air to
the Magdalen islands in the gulf of St. Lawrence during last winter; in previous
winter seasons the inhabitants of these islands have been completely isolated
from the outside world, save for a weekly radio news message and the possible
call of an ice-breaking steamer. Both from a mail service and a humanitarian
point of view, the successful operation of such a service it was thought would
do much to ameliorate the conditions under which these islanders existed during
the winter months. The fact that seven complete trips were accomplished
between !Moncton and Grindstone Island, carrying over twenty-five hundred
pounds of mail, is considered to be more than sufficient to fully justifj^ the
efforts made.
Conditions more or less parallel to those prevailing in the Magdalen islands
existed in the case of the island of Anticosti, which has also been practically
isolated hitherto during the winter months. In this case, seven flights were
made to Port Menier, on which five thousand pounds of mail were carried.
During the year, other air mail services were established as follows: —
Leamington to Pelee Island.
La Malbaie to Seven Islands.
Rolling Portage to Red Lake and Narrow Lake.

6 POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
From December 14th, 1927, to the end of March, 1928, the total amount of
mail carried by air over the routes above mentioned was in excess of 47,500 pounds.
British and foreign mails have also been conveyed by air betwefen trans-
atlantic steamers at Rimouski and Montreal, Ottawa and Toronto during the
season of navigation, 1928, by commercial airplanes under contract with this
department; and in October, 1928, following negotiations with United States
postal authorities, an air mail service was put in operation between Montreal
and New York (similarly under contract with a commercial air transport com-
pany), which provides for rapid communication between those cities. A daily
air mail service between Montreal and Toronto was also inaugurated at the
same time.
The carriage of mail by air being in its infancy, the cost of such service is
relatively high, but the results so far have fully justified the steps taken and have
served to demonstrate that where adequate facilities exist for the rapid trans-
mission of the mails, there is an almost immediate increase in the volume to be
handled. The results of the services now in operation will be watched closely,
in order to determine the degree to which a further extension of the carriage
of mails by air would be warranted. Investigations have already been made
as to the possibilities of air mail service across the prairie provinces and in other
parts of the Dominion, and it is expected that in the near future, considerable
advances will be made in this important branch of the postal service.
Pacific Cable
The effect of beam wireless competition on Pacific cable traffic, as antici-
pated by Canada, having become apparent, it became necessarj^ to arrive, if
possible, at a working arrangement between the wireless and cable interests.
Accordingly, in November, 1927, Canada made representations to the partner
governments — that is. Great Britain, Australia and New Zealand — ^urging the
immediate appointment of a special committee to consider the commercial
policy of the cable, including its relation to the wireless system. This suggestion
was endorsed by the other governments, and eventually a general conference
of wireless and cable interests met in London in January, 1928, and held meetings
extending over a period of six months, after which time a unanimous report
was laid before the various governments of the Empire, containing recommend-
ations looking towards a fusion of the cable and vv-ireless telegraph systems
concerned in Empire communication. The recommendations of the conference
were in general accepted by the Empire governments.
Under the proposed settlement, there will be returned to Canada in cash
an amount substantially equivalent to her outlay on the Pacific cable during its
twenty-five years under Empire government control; no future payments on
Canada's part will be necessary, as would have been the case had a settlement
not been reached; control of rates will be retained, in the interest of the public,
this feature having been specially safeguarded during the negotiations; and a
trans-Canada or All-Red cable route will be continued, with provision for its
being taken over by the Government in the event of emergency.
Postmasters' Salaries
During the past year or more, careful consideration has been given to the
question of an adjustment of the scale of percentage allowed to those postmasters
whose remuneration is based on the revenue of their offices (known as revenue
post offices), so that they might suffer no loss of salary due to the return to two
cent letter postage and the resultant reduction in revenue. Regulations were
finally made effective from April 1, 1928, whereby the percentage paid on the
first $1,000 of revenue is increased from 50% to 70% and the minimum salary
increased from $60 to $100, which provide for the following rates of payment: — •
Seventy per cent on the first $1,000 of reveaiue, with a minimum
salary of $100.
Thirty per cent on revenue from $1,000 to $10,000.
Twenty per cent on revenue over $10,000.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY POSTMASTER GENERAL 7
In estimating the revenue on which the salary of such a postmaster
is to be based, the amount of the commissions collected from the public on
money order business are included with the postage stamp sales. It is also
provided that the remuneration of any postmaster shall not be less than that
paid during the fiscal year 1926-27, except in cases where it has been determined
that there has been an appreciable reduction in the work of the office.
Compensation to Sub-Postmasters
The salary scale applying to sub-postmasters has been amended to provide
increased compensation at offices with a revenue over $6,000, and the commission
on postage stamp sales at sub-post offices has also been increased from one
per cent to two per cent on sales not exceeding $20,000. When the stamps
obtained by any sub-postmaster reach an amount in excess of $20,000 at any
time before the close of the fiscal year, his rate of commission reverts to one
per cent for the balance of the year.
Revenue Post Offices Placed on City Basis
On April 1, 1927, the Yarmouth, N.S., Post Office was changed from the
revenue to the city or staff basis. Grade 3; and subsequently several other
post offices were similarly changed from the revenue to the city or staff basis,
Grade 4, and free letter carrier delivery established, namely, at Thetford
Mines and Levis, P.Q., from September 1, 1927; North Battleford, Sask.,
from January 1, 1928, and at Welland, Ont., from February 1, 1928.
Use of Motor Cycles
The use of motor cycles in making collections from street letter boxes has
been tried out and found to be particularly adapted to the conditions existing
in crowded business districts in cities, and this form of service is accordingly
being extended. Experiments are also being made in the delivery of parcel
post to some extent by motor cycle; the use of these vehicles in this way
would appear to provide an economical and speedy service.
Post Office Service for Conventions
During the year the department extended postal facilities to a number of
large conventions held at different points throughout Canada. The World
Poultry Congress which met at Ottawa in August, 1927, was one of the largest
conventions ever assembled in Canada, there being some five thousand delegates
and other attendants at the .sessions of the congress, representing twenty-eight
countries in various parts of the world — -it was estimated that 150,000 people
in all visited the poultry exhibition. The Post Office Department provided a
post office equipped with full postal facilities at the congress headquarters,
and mail for the delegates and visitors was given special care and attention,
both while they were in Ottawa and also during their subsequent trans-Canada
tour. In addition to postal facilities, the department provided an information
bureau and a number of translators during the congress for the convenience
of the foreign visitors, and this service was much appreciated.
Extensions of Railw'ay Mail Service
Considerable improvement has been effected in the operation of mail service
over the various railway systems throughout Canada in the period covered by
this report — notably, the establishment of a daily postal car service between
Quebec and Cochrane on the Canadian National railway, providing a much
improved service over this line, especially to the important lumbering and mining
districts through which it passes. A direct service by railway to the llouyn
8 POST OFFICE DEPARTMENT
mining district has also been put into effect. Services have been established
over new railway lines in various parts of the country to the extent of 519 miles
of track, thus giving a better and more frequent service to many outlying dis-
tricts, and a number of existing services have been given greater frequency
or rearranged to provide for the transportation of the increased volume of mail
to be handled and to meet the postal requirements of the public.
Mail Receptacles in Apartment Houses
With a view to overcoming difficult}^ experienced through the use in some
apartment houses of mail boxes inadequate in size and structure to hold and
properly protect the mail delivered at these places, regulations were adopted
by the department, effective January 1, 1928, governing the types of mail
boxes to be installed in such buildings. These regulations apply to apartment
houses, family hotels and flats containing three or more apartments, erected or
remodelled after the date mentioned, but not to buildings in which mail boxes
satisfactory to the department were already installed or to those having an
office on the ground or main entrance floor where mail is delivered. The design
of mail boxes installed under these regulations has to comply with certain
specifications and must be approved by the Postmaster General. Several
makes of receptacles submitted by various manufacturers from time to time
since these regulations became effective have received the approval of the
department. It is expected that improved service in such buildings will result
from the adoption of this policy.
Increased Weight Limit for Parcel Post to Other Countries
During the past year the application of the increased limit of weight for
parcels — -fifteen pounds instead of the previous limit of eleven pounds — has
been further extended, until now it is effective as regards parcels going to most
of the countries with which we have parcel post service.
Insurance of Parcels
Some 3,780,000 parcels were mailed under the post office insurance system
during the fiscal year ended March 31 last, the insurance fees being upwards of
$189,000. This was an increase of 135,000 in parcels and $7,000 in fees over
the previous 3'ear.
The insurance service for parcels now extends to Great Britain (including
Northern Ireland), Newfoundland, Australia, New Zealand, the United States.
China and Hong Kong, and by direct service to Denmark, German}-, Grenada,
Holland, the Irish Free State, and St. Vincent; also to parcels forwarded via
England to countries with which Great Britain has insurance arrangements.
Under a regulation effective on February 4, 1928, parcels posted in Canada
for delivery in Canada on which charges of 40 cents or more have been prepaid,
may be insured up to $50 without insurance fee. If the sender desires to insure
such a parcel for an amount in excess of $50, the regular insurance fee of 12
cents to cover the additional insurance has to be prepaid.
Post Office C.O.D. Service
Post office C.O.D. service continues to show remarkable development.
During the fiscal year ended March 31 last, 300,000 more articles were sent by
post office C.O.D. than during the previous year — an increase of twenty per cent.
Financial Position of the Department
The net revenue for the year amounted to $30,529,154.76 and the expendi-
ture to $32,379,195.65. This is an increase in the net revenue of $1,150,458.21,
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY POSTMASTER GENERAL 9
instead of the expected decrease due to two cent postage having been in operation
for twelve months as compared with nine months of the previous year; and it
indicates a marked increase in the vohime of all classes of mail matter.
The expenditure shows an increase of $1,371,497.61. Of this increase,
about $600,000 is due to the general flat increase in salary of $120 granted by
Parliament from April 1, 1927; another $200,000 is due to statutory increases
approved by the Civil Service Commission; $109,000 is due to the purchase
of rural mail boxes; and the remainder is due to the increase in volume of mail
handled and to improved postal facilities, including air mail service, given the
pubhc.
The expenditure for the year exceeded the net revenue by $1,850,040.89.
Had it not been for the decision of the Government that the salaries of those
postmasters who are paid by a percentage on revenue should not be reduced
owing to the introduction of two cent postage, the net revenue would have
been increased by $500,000 and the deficit reduced accordingly.
Moreover, if the Post Office Department had been indemnified for the ex-
pense imposed upon it by the franking privilege enjoyed by the various depart-
ments of government, other than the Post Office, the revenue would have been
increased by an additional $750,000 thus substantially reducing the deficit.
Summarized statements covering the various branches of the department
are appended.

Deputy Postmaster General.

RURAL MAIL DELIVERY
During the past year a large number of petitions for the establishment of
rural mail deliver}^ routes have been dealt with and a considerable number of
new routes established.
A large and increasing number of applications are in the enquir}'- stage and
the policy of the Department is to continue with the extension of the Rural
Mail Deliver}^ system in order to provide adequate postal facilities to the more
thickly settled districts where road and other conditions are favourable for the
prompt and expeditious performance of the service.
GENERAL FINANCIAL STATEMENT, 1927-28

an increase of $1,371,497.61 in the expenditure.
The expenditure for the year exceeded the revenue by $1,850,040.89. If
however, the Post Office Department had been indemnified for the expense

of Government, other than the Post Office, the revenue would have been increased
by $750,000, thereby reducing the deficit to the same extent.

Ferries
The tolls collected from the twenty-nine licenses in force for 1927-28 amount
to $1,361. One new ferry route, namely, Froomfield, Ontario, and Marysville,
jMichigan, was licensed during the year, and a new license was issued for the
Norway Bay, Quebec — Sand Point, Ontario, ferry route. The license for the
Niagara, Ontario — Youngstown, New York, ferry route expired since last year
-.md has not been so far renewed.
Aerodromes
In connection with the Aii' ]\Iail Services and the proposed Imperial Airship
Flights, the department has undertaken the development of aerodromes at
Rimouski and St. Hubert, P.Q., under the aegis of the Civil Aviation Branch of
the Air Service, Department of National Defence.
Rimouski. — In March, 1928, portions of six farm properties, about 95 acres,
were surveyed and described for the leases arranged for by the Air Service
officere, preparatory to the development of the aerodrome.
St. Hubert. — The acquired property of over 600 acres, which was selected
by the Air Ministry and Air Service officials for the Montreal airport at St.
Hubert, was surveyed, evaluated and options procured. The work of clearing,
levelling and undcrdrainage was commenced in October, 1927. A service road,
1,700 feet long, was macadamized. A wooden hangar, 50 feet square with a
10- foot lean-to. and other buildings were erected in the fall. Plans and specifi-
cations were prepared for the mooring tower, and studies made in connection
with the auxiliary services and general development of the aerodrome.
Lower L.^kes Ter;minal
After a very comprehensive study and investigation which has extended over
more than a year, the Board of Engineers of this department have recommended
the adoption of Prescott as the site of the Transfer Terminal at the lower end
of the Great Lakes water route for the transfer of grain, on the opening of the
Welland Ship canal, which is expected to be in -operation during the season of
1930. This decision was reached after a thorough examination of otiier possible
sites and the careful consideration of the probable influences the opening of the>
Welland canal might have on trade routes. These influences are, of course, mon^
difficult to foretell with any exactitude, principally because of the very slight
margin on which grain, th.e principal commodity, is handled, the inexperience
in the lake type vessel being handled through a canal the size of the Welland
Ship canal, and the variation from year to year in the amount of grain available-
for handling.
In support of their recommendation in favour of Prescott as the lower lakes
terminal the Board of Engineers give the following reasons: —
1. Prescott is the nearest point to Montreal to which the larger class of
upper lake boats can go down, after the opening of the Welland canal,
without breaking bulk, that is until the time when the St. Ln.wrencc
canals below Prescott are improved to the same extent as the Welland
Ship canal. This condition will probably continue at least fifteen years,
during which time the proposed terminal at Prescott will have .served
its purpose, and after which it will continue as a valuable auxiliary.
2. Any other location furtlier up the river than Prescott possesses disadvan-
tages from a rail connection standpoint, which is an important one.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER, 1927-28 5
3. The cost of the Prescott terminal can initially be made much cheaper
than the cost of a terminal elsewhere.
4. Due to open water conditions in the vicinitj' of Prescott created by the
operations of the car ferry all winter, movement of winter storage
boats to elevators during the winter season will be easier than else-
where.
5. With the exception of Kingston there is no other suggested location on
the Canadian side for a lower terminal point which offers fa.cilities for
refitting vessels that is comparable with Prescott.
6. The established car transfer facilities at Prescott should be able to take
care, without difficulty, of export shipments to connect with United
States lines at that point.
7. Connection by ca.r ferry with Ogdensburg gives from that point a better
rail service to United States Atlantic seaports than from other United
States competing ports, such as Oswego or Fair Haven on the south
shore of lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence river.
8. From Prescott to Montreal (120 miles) by rail offers advantages from a
railway standpoint by Canadian National, and considerable advantage
by Canadian Pacific, in moving grain, either during the rush of sum-
mer season or during the winter closed season through to Montreal, and
thence for distribution by rail to open Atlantic ports.
Considerable difference of opinion was voiced in connection with the selection
of Prescott or any point below deep water on lake Ontario. All representations
were very carefully looked into, a.nd the conclusion arrived at was that the
alleged dangers seemed to be greatly over-estimated, especially in view of the
very heavy traffic which is successfully carried on in such restricted channels
as the St. Mary's river. It is considered that with the improvements to the
present used channel at the Hillcrest shoal in the Brockville narrows, and at
the Haskell shoal and points adjacent in Canadian waters, in the vicinity of
tlie Sister Island light, together with adequate aids to navigation of the rest
of the channel from Cape Vincent to below Brockville, that the majority of the
Great Lakes freight boats would not find it by any means unduly hazardous to
carry grain to Prescott.
It is realized that this will be a new route for the large upper lakes carriers
and that they will exercise caution in trying it out for the first few seasons, but
with every aid to navigation in the way of lights and buoys that feeling will
largely disappear. The opening up of this new^ route should result in a larger
amount of grain reaching IMontreal during the open season of navigation and in
a probable saving in the cost of moving Canadian grain, which in the bulk,
wlien returned to the Canadian producer, would amount to a very considerable
sum. The movement of a larger quantity of grain by Canadian routes, vessel and
rail, would also add to the revenues of the Canadian vessel and rail companies.
Public Buildings
The total sum expended on construction, maintenance and repairs of public
buildings was $8,252,448.78.
Of this amount $2,476,424.25 was expended on construction a.nd improve-

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER, 1927-28 7
Peace Tower, Parliament Buildings
The central feature of the new ParUament Building is the Peace Tower, the
foundation stone of which was laid by His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
on September 1, 1919. This noble example of Gothic architecture rises 291 feet
into the air and is built in the form of a campanile. The foundations are of
concrete and the walls of Nepean and Wallace sandstone, backed with concrete
except from the floor level of the clock chamber up to the underside of the spire,
which is of solid stone. The spire is of reinforced concrete, covered with copper.
The various floors in the tower are of steel framework and concrete slabs. The
35-foot flagpole and the framing of the clock dials, including the pattern divisions
and numerals, are of bronze.
The exterior approach to the tower is by a wide flight of steps on the south
side, entering through a stately Gothic archwa}', 18 feet high. A driveway for
the convenience of cars runs transversely, that is east and west, under the tower.
Between the tower and the main building is a spacious vestibule which serves
as an approach to the main entrance hall.
Directly above the entrance to the tower and approached from the first floor
of the main building is the Memorial Chamber. The walls and vaulted ceiling
of this chamber are of Chateau Gaillard stone, a present from the people of
France. On marble panels around the walls is graven the story of Canada's
achievements, surmounted by typical emblems and figures harmoniously grouped
in the mural decoration, including the regimental badges of the old line regiments
of both the French and British armies which served in Canada, of all overseas
regiments and of all units of the militia from the com.mencement of Canada to
the end of the Great War. The three separate windows unite in the general
scheme, displaying the ideals and principles underlying the Call to Arms,
Remembrance and Peace. The floor is of stone from the battlefields of France
and Flanders, bordered by black marble, the gift of the people of Belgium, and
bearing the names of battles in which Canadians fought. In the centre of the
Chamber is the Altar, a massive stone ornamented with the Royal Arms, the
Arms of Canada and of the Provinces, the gift of Great Britain. On this Altar
will rest the Book of Remembrance, in which will be recorded the names of
60,000 Canadians who gave their lives in the Great War.
Above the Memorial Chamber and extending to the clock room level is the
Bell Chamber, where is placed the carillon of fifty-three bells which were cast by
Gillett and Johnston of Croydon, England. The largest bell weighs 22,400 pounds
and is 100 inches in diameter. The weight of the smallest bell is 10 pounds and
the diameter, 8 inches. The bells are rigidly fixed on two steel frames, the upper
one supporting the forty-seven smaller bells and the lower one the six larger bells.
The carillon is played from a keyboard manual, located between the upper and
lower bell frames. The bells are struck by clappers, connected by wires and rods
to the keyboard.
Above the belfry, and beneath the spire, is the clock chamber, in which there
is a four-dial clock with faces, 15 feet 9 inches in diameter. The clock is
modelled after the famous Big Ben in the tower of the Houses of Parliament at
London, England. The striking chimes of this clock are of five bells, the hour
being struck upon the largest bell in the carillon.
Opening off" the clock chamber, which is at approximately the 200-foot level,
are four balconies from which a commanding panorama may be seen of the
Ottawa river, the Laurentian hills and the country to the south of the city of
Otta\\-a. Tills level is reached by elevators which run up through the bell
chamber from the first floor level. Above the clock chamber is the reinforced
concrete construction of the spire, which is a-scended by ship ladders to the flag-
8 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
pole platform. The top of the spire is treated with traceried copper cresting,
pierced on the four elevations. Through these piercings a strong electric beam,
as a beacon, shines at night and is visible to the surrounding country.
The tower, in every respect, is a national monument, a memorial of the
loftiest ideals of the Canadian army and a symbol of the high aspirations of the
Canadian people.
Laying of Corner Stone of First Departmental Building of Confederation
Block
The corner stone of the First Departmental Building of Confederation Block
was laid by His Excellency the Governor General of Canada, the Viscount
Willingdon, on July 1, 1927, the ceremony being the first important function of
a series of events that commemorated the Diamond Jubilee of Confederation.
The Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister, presided, and after
making a short address, invited His Excellency the Governor General to lay the
corner stone.
The Deputy Minister of Public Works deposited a sealed copper receptacle
containing a scroll, coins, postage stamps and certain papers of record ' in the
cavity provided for the purpose in the stone upon which the corner stone rests.
The Honourable the Minister of Public Works presented a trowel, mallet
and plumb bob triangle to His Excellency the Governor General, who levelled
the surface of the mortar. The stone was then lowered into position on the bed
of mortar while the band of the Governor General's Foot Guards plaved
"0 Canada".
His Excellency the Governor General addressed the gathering touching on
Canada's history before Confederation and the progress since made leading up
to the Diamond Jubilee. He then applied the plumb bob triangle to the stone,
gave the stone three strokes with the mallet and declared it well and truly laid.
This imposdng ceremony was a most auspicious opening for a day of many
impressive activities that were to commemorate the Sixtieth Anniversary of
Confederation.
The Inauguration of the Carillon in the Peace Tower
The carillon in the Tower of the Parliament Buildings was inaugurated by
His Excellency the Governor General, the Viscount Willingdon, in the presence
of an immense throng of people on Parliament Hill on the first day of July,
1927, th.e imposing ceremony being the second event in the Diamond Jubilee
Celebration. The guests who took their places on the platform not only com-
prised the most distinguished members of Canadian officialdom, but included
outstanding figures from all phases of Canadian life from coast to coast, repre-
sentatives of the church, judiciary and descendents of Confederation Fathers.
The ceremony took place on a special pavilion constructed on the steps
of the central walk leading up to the Parliament Building. The pavilion was
appropriately decorated and fitted up with microphones by which the ceremony
was transmitted by radio across Canada from the Atlantic to the Pacific, and
the amplifier mounted on top of the stand cna)>lcd the vast throng on Parliament
Hill and vicinity to hear clearly the whole program.
The Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime Minister of Canada, opened
the ceremony by an address in which he reviewed the momentous event? in
Canada's national life incidental to the installation of the carillon. He then
invited His Excellency the Governor General to inaugurate the carillon. His
Excellency gave a sliort address after which the trumpeters stationed in the
Tower sounded a fanfare. The Honourable the Minister of Public Works
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MIXISTER, 1927-28 9
presented to His Excellency tl^e Governor General an electric key-block by which
he signalled the carillonneur who played " 0 Canada ", " The Maple Leaf ''
and " God Save the King ".
At the completion of this inauguration ceremony, the Governor General and
party left for the ceremony of planting the Confederation Maple Tree on Parlia-
ment Hill, northeast of the Senate Chamber, which was performed by Her
Excellency the Viscountess Willingdon on behalf of the Women of Canacla.
Dedication of the Altar in the Memorial Chamber
The dedication of the Altar in the Memorial Chamber of the Peace Tower
took place on August 3, 1927, in the presence of a distinguished company which
included His Excellency the Governor General and the Viscountess Willingdon,
His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, His Royal Highness Prince George, tlie
Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of Great Britain, and Mrs. Baldwin,
the Prime Minister of Canada and members of His Cabinet, other privy coun-
cillors, representatives of foreign nations, church dignitaries, military officers,
representatives of the various arms of the service veterans' associations and
public bodies, and others, to the number of about seventy. The four corners of
the Altar were guarded respectively by a representative of the Na\^, the Army,
the Air Force and the Nursing Service. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales
took a position before the Altar fronting the nation's " Assembly of Remem-
brance " portrayed in the south window.
A Guard of Honour furnished by the Ottawa Highlanders was stationed on
the terrace, facing the main entrance to Parliament Building. A sentry was
posted at each of the four corners of the tower, and programs were distributed
to a vast concourse of people assembled on the hill, which enabled them to
follow the ceremony as it proceeded.
The Right Hon. W. L. Mackenzie King, Prime INIinister, ad-dressed the
assemblage and invited His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales to perform the
ceremony of dedication. His Royal Highness then in a few appropriate wordvS
unveiled the Altar. The Guard of Honour presented arms. The flag on the
Peace Tower was dipped and bugles sounded the Last Post. Silence was
observed for a short space of time, and was broken by the carillon plaving
" 0 Valiant Hearts ".
Addresses were delivered by Lt. -Colonel, the Hon. J. L. Ralston, Minister
of National Defence, and the Right Hon. Stanley Baldwin, Prime Minister of
Great Britain. The bugles sounded " Reveille," and the carillon rang out
" 0 Canada." His Royal Highness then left the Memorial Chamber and on
emerging from the building the Guard saluted, the band playing " God Save
the King," followed by the carillon which played " Land of Hope and Glory."
The Unveiling of the Statlt: of Sir Wilfrid Laltiier
The unveiling of the statue of Sir Wilfrid Laurier by His Royal Highness
the Prince of Wales took place on August 3, 1927, His Excellency the Governor

10 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
Canadian Legation Building, Washington, U.S.A.
To provide pennanent quarters for the Canadian Legation at Washington, a
valuable property situated on the south side of Massachusetts avenue, No. 1746,
between 17th and 18th streets, was purchased for the sum of $475,000, including
furniture. The building, which is' considered one of the best built residences of
the city, is of fireproof construction throughout, five stories high with basement.
It is faced on two sides with cut stone to the second floor, the remainder being
faced with selected white brick wnth cut stone trimmings, cornice, etc., and
sloping portions of the roof covered with slate. The interior finish, while most
elaborate and expensive, is dignified and in keeping with the requirements of
an embassy. The floor in the main hall is of marble, the staircase finished in
marble, the woodwork artistically carved and the walls are panelled. Tiie
plumbing is modem and in first-class condition. An automatic elevator serves
all the floors.
The bu'lding is appropriately furnished from top to bottom, and no remodel-
ling or refurnishing wa? necessary to accommod.ate either the offices or tlje
residence quarters. It is very conveniently located, being not far distant from
the principal hotels, and is admirablv adapted for use as a Legation building.
The area of the lot on which this beautiful home of the Canadian Legation
stands is approximately 20,980 square feet. There is ample room in the rear
for the erection of an addition if required in the future and also for an extensive
garage with entrance from 17th and 18th streets.

As shown in the above statement, there was an increase in revenue in every
district except four, three of these decreases being insignificant. The decrease
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER, 1927-28 11
on the British Columbia mainland lines was due mainly to the sale of the
Slocan Junction — Slocan City and Nelson — Trail linesi. However, this loss in
revenue is more than offset by a saving of $9,030.95 in operating expenses.
To meet a requirement of the Excise Act passed at the session of 1922,
there was collected for the Department of National Revenue a tax of $6,313.56
on all telegraph business handled by the Government Telegraph Service.
The gross revenue from all sources was $298,662.94.
N.\TIONAL GaLLEKY
The past year has witnessed a continued and substantial growth of the
work of the National Gallery in every department. The progress made in the
development of a permanent collection of works of art at Ottawa has been
most satisfactory and the artistic activities throughout the country have con-
tinued to advance to higher levels of achievement. Most important and valu-
able additions were made to the collection and were procured at a comparatively
reasonable cost, inasmuch as these purchases are fully equal to those made for
any of the greatest art galleries of the world. A recent valuation of the works
of art at the National Gallery made by competent assessors proved that the
collection had advanced steadily in every department, while in some cases very
large increases were noted.
The exhibition of Canadian art held from April 11 to May 11 at the
Galleries of the Jeu de Paume in Paris under the auspices of the French and
Canadian Governments was accorded a very favourable and generous reception.
The exhibition was composed of much of the work which was so well received
at the two British Empire Exhibitions of 1924-25, and the attention and appre-
ciation attracted by it was signalled by the purchase of one of the most interest-
ing pictures in the exhibition, "The Open Stream" by Albert H. Robinson, R.C.A.,
for the national collection in the Luxembourg Galleries. The unusual interest
aroused in European art circles by these exhibitions will assuredly stimulate
Canadian artists to put forward greater efforts, and will aid in establishing a
conviction of the quality and importance of the art of this country.
Loan exhibitions were held at the following places: —
Fort William, Guelph, Ottawa, Stratford, Walkerville, Ont.; Winnipeg,
Man.; Moose Jaw, Sask. ; Edmonton, Alta.; Victoria, B.C.
Among the principal accessions made to the collection during the year
were eighteen oil paintings, the titles of which, with the names of the authors,
will be found in the report of the National Gallery included in this volume.
Appended to this report will be found detailed statements from the different
branches, giving full particulars of the various works carried out by the depart-
ment during the year.
I have the honour to be, sir.
Your obedient servant,
J. B. HUNTER,
Deputy Minister.

southern end.
OAKVILLE
As the south pier was considerably damaged by a severe storm on Novem-
ber 28, 1927, extensive repairs had to be made. Commencing at a point
measured 300 feet northwesterly from the southeast end of the pier and extend-
ing northwesterly for a length of 110 feet, the broken cribwork of this section,
as well as the next 50 feet of cribwork lying northwest, were completely removed.
Two new cribs were constructed, one 110 by 18 feet, and the second, 50 by 18
feet. Both of these cribs were built to a height of 14 feet and placed in a crib
trench dredged to 14 feet below water level. A new superstructure, 18 feet in
width and 5 feet in height, was constructed over the new cribwork. A section
of this superstructure, 5 feet in height and 12 feet in width, was extended
northerly into the old work for a length of 10 feet in order to form a solid con-
nection. At the north end of the 50-foot section, the old cribwork was cut off
and two vertical binders were bolted to both the front and rear faces of the
crib to bind the face timbers. From the front to the rear of the crib three tie
rods were placed to bind the structure over the width of 12 feet.

PORT .ARTHUR
A contract was awarded for the construction of a slip extension to the coal
storage and paper handling docks of the Thunder Bay Paper Company, which is
being built by them in front of their new plant in the north extension of the
main harbour. This contract involved the removal of a considerable quantity of
rock, and as the water at the inner end was very shallow, the greater part of the
work was done behind a cofferdam. Before letting the contract, test piles were
driven and £S extensive borings as possible taken. Nevertheless, as the work
proceeded it was found that the actual quantity of rock was considerably less
than had been estimated and that the rock surface was much more uneven than
had been supposed. Owing to this, the grtde at the inner end was lowered from
20 feet and 21 feet to 23 feet to conform to the outer end. The width of this
extension is 150 feet and the length. 950 feet. Qne-third of the cost of the work
is being borne by the Thunder Bay Paper Company and when completed should
give a dock providing exceptionally good shipping facilities.
PORT Bl RWELL
West Pier. — The inner end of the west pier above the turning basin, for a
length of 40 feet, was reconstructed above water level. In addition to this a
further 90 feet was dredged out and completely rebuilt. This section now com-
prises a close-faced double 4-inch front wall on round piles, which are tied back
to those supporting the rear face timbers above water level. The close-faced
timbers of both front and ref.r walls are connected together with cross-ties, the
whole section having new stringers and decking. The work was done by day
labour.
East Pier. — The reconstruction inder contract of the outer end of the east
pier was continued. The work done consisted in constructing a reinforced con-
crete superstructure on the old substructure which had been strengthened by
means of round piles driven at certain intervals along both the front and rear
faces. These faces are tied together at intcrv'als by means of cross-ties and
bolts.

SAL'LT STE. MARIE
Fepairs to Freight Shed. — The corrugated iron sheeting was removed from
the walls and ends of the building and replaced with pine drop siding. The
doors were reconstructed, windows repaired and the building painted. The east
face of the wharf was underpinned ^\ith concrete in bags, where a certain amount
of undermining occurred due to the previous year's dredging operations.
Whorf Improvements. — A 6-inch cast-iron pipe was laid from the city wat^r
main for a distance of -120 feet along the foot of the street and under the stone
approach and rock fill to a point near the freight shed where the standard fire
hydrant was installed. From that point a 2-incb galvanized iron pipe was laid
to the freight shed and along its west side for a distance of 300 feet and con-
nected to the water system of the wharf.
Wharj Repairs. — On the face of the wharf two slipways, ok feet deep, 7^
feet wide and 30 fe-et long, were constructed in the concrete superstructure.

COLUMBIA RIVER
A fascine mattress of irregular shape, 12,850 square feet in area, was con-
structed on the downstream inshore end of Cottonwood Point dam built during
the year 1925-26. The inshore of the dam was also extended for a length of
40 feet on a width of 14 feet, and groyne No. 3 for a length of 20 feet. The
70 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
above work was done to prevent erosion behind the groynes and dam. The
fascine mattress was formed by 1 foot of rock on 2 feet of brush, laid on 6-inch
poles. In the inshore extensions the mattress was composed of 2 feet of rock
on 1 foot of biiish.
CROOKED RIVER WATERWAY
A series of cross groynes of brush weighted with rock, some 10 feet wide,
4 feet high and of varying lengths, were br.iit at the various riffles in order to
provide a minimum depth of 2.5 feet at low water stage. This is considered a
sufficient depth for the type of fiat bottom freight boat in use on the Crooked,
Pack and Parsnip rivers, a watei'way leading into the headwater of the Peace
river. The water was also confined to the main channel by blocking all side
channels with brush and rock dams. Rocks were removed from the boat channel
and overhanging brush was cleared at points where it formed a hindrance to
navigation.
DEN MAN ISLAND
A triangular extension. 40 by 40 feet, was built at the west end of the wharf.
The superstructure consists of 12- by 12-inch caps, 4- by 12-inch joists, 3- by
12-inch planking Tvith an 8- by 8-inch guard, creosoted fender piles, and two

Three dolp^hin clusters on the outside of the landing face of the wharf were
removed and replaced •udth two upright framed fenders, one at each end. The
main float is held in place by anchor logs and dolphins on the inner face. The
old 32-foot section adjacent to the main float was replaced with a truss section
16 feet wide by 32 feet long. The four adjoining 16-foot approach sections were
consolidated into two 32-foot ones. To support the new truss span eight float
logs, 24 feet long, were placed under the section of the approach next to it.
Defective deck planking throughout the whole structure was replaced with 3-incli
decking. The entire main float was covered with 2-inch cedar planking laid
diagonally, and a 2-inch plank ininway provided for the full length of the
approach.
EAST ROBSON
After the defective planks on the main dock had been replaced with 3-inch
fir material, 2-inch cedar planking was laid diagonally over the entire area of the
wharf, 30 by 332 feet. One new l^caring pile and 17 new fonder piles were driven.
A 6- by 8-inch guard was provided along the inner or shore side of the wharf
and ten cavils were reset.
EDGEWOOD
The superstruoture of the wharf was dismantled for a length of 310 feet or
from the inner end of bent No. 32, and defective timbers were replaced. New
10- by 12-inch by 32-foot caps were put on twenty-four of the bents. On each
side of the wharf two new courses of 10- by 12-inch by 22-foot stringers and
a new 4- by 6-inch guardrail were placed. One-half of the 3- by 10-inch deck

planking was renewed, thirteen new intermediate stringers and forty-two new
4- by lO-inch joists were put in. From bents Nos. 8 to 32 two new courses of
10- by 12-inch by 22-foot waling and fifty new holding-down straps were placed,
two straps to each bent. Ten new standard cavils were installed and eight new-
fender piles driven.
FAUQUIERS
The two approach sections adjoining the main float were replaced with a new
16- by 32-foot trussed section and from this span six 16- by 16-foot inshore
sections were consolidated into three 32-foot ones and fitted with new type
hinges. Three new standard cavils were installed on the main float, one at the
centre of the landing face a,nd one at each end, and general repairs made to the
superstructure timbers and decking. The original 110-foot single sliear boom
was replaced by a double one and extended a further 454 feet.
FRASER RIVER
Annieville Bar, Dyke. — A contract was awarded to build a dyke to divert
some of the water which flowed west of Annacis Island in order to keep more
water in the main channel to induce scour and prevent the shoaling of this
area. The total length of the dyke is 4,300 feet. The lower end was built
straight for a length of 3,100 feet and 350 feet from the existing channel, while
the upper portion, 1,200 feet long, was built on a 3-degree curve. The dyke
consists of two rows of piles 2 feet apart, the piles being placed at 3-foot 6-inch
centres in each row. The piles are staggered and fastened with drift bolts to
a centre waling of poles 60 feet long with an 8-foot lap. On the channel side
four rows of 4- by 12-inch planking, each 12 inches apart, were spiked to the
piles with 10-inch spikes. On the other side of the dyke a 10- by 12-inch waling
was placed about 5 feet below the top and bolted to alternate piles in the
opposite row with 1-inch machine bolts. A mound of rock, 5 feet high, with a
slope of about 1 to 1, was placed on each side of the dyke. The piles were driven
to a penetration of 20 feet, the top of the dyke being 17 feet above zero at the
Sandheads. A total of 116,154 feet b.m. of lumber, 126,429 lineal feet of piling
and 10,427 tons of 150-pound rock were used in the work.
Steveston, North Dykes Nos. 2 and 3. — In order to improve navigation in
the King Edward Cut in the main ship channel of the Fraser River near
Steveston, two dykes. No. 2, 400 feet long, and No. 3, 550 feet long, were built
on the north side of the channel. These dykes are of pile construction, two rows
of piles being driven about 2 feet apart and the piles placed at 3-foot 6-inch
centres in each row. The piles are staggered, and fastened with drift bolts to
the centre waling of poles 60 feet long with an 8-foot lap. On the channel side
four rows of 4- by 12-inch planking were placed 6 inches apart and spiked to
the piles with 10-inch square spikes. In the opposite row 10- by 12-inch waling
was bolted to alternate piles. The piles were driven to a 20-foot penetration,

REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER, 1927-JS 93
DRY DOCKS
CHAMPLAIN DRY DOCK
The general works of operation and maintenance were carried out by the
regular staff and the following works executed: repairs were made to the
brickwork, arches, baffle-plates, water-fronts, clinker breakers, etc., of the
steam boilers, to the asbestos covering of the steam and water feed pipe
lines and drums of boilers, to one of the armatures of the electric motors of the
capstans, to feed water lines, to the concrete flooring and side walls of the dock,
and to the sidewalk; the fire grate bars of the mechanical stokers of the steam
boilers were repaired and renewed; the fire and general service pump was
repaired and overhauled; the steam exhaust and feed water pipe lines in the
generator room were cleaned and painted; the structural steel works of the
elevator shaft and tunnel doors, capstans, bollards, lamp posts and the struc-
tural steel and ceiling of the generator room were scraped and painted; and
general repairs were made to the buildings and steam-electric hydraulic mechani-
cal equipment.
The dock was occupied for 251 days by twenty-five ships of a total tonnage
of 56,243 tons.
Five Canadian Government vessels occupied the dock for thirty days dur-
ing the season of navigation, and three during the winter.
ESQUIMALT NEW DRY DOCK
Portions of the fresh water main, roadway and standard gauge track,
which were delayed awaiting the building of the foundations for the travelling
crane, were completed. A boundary fence was erected and enclosed the Grav-
ing Dock and Naval Barracks properties. The erection of the Colby 5- to 25-
ton travelling electric crane was completed and is operating very satisfactorily.
The 100-ton stationary derrick was erected and tested. The roads to and
around the dock were tarviated. Two dolphins of creosoted piles were driven.
A work boat for use at the dry dock was provided. To prevent seepage between
the meeting face and the caissons, a rubber insertion was set in the caissons.
Owing to the continued sliding and slipping of the clay bank on the east, north
and south sides of the dock, a hand-laid riprap protection was built, including
underdrainage and sewer pipe. To stop the erosion of the embankment in the
vicinity of the Yarrow's machine shop on the south side of the dock, a pro-
tection w^as built of random riprap and rubble. A lavatory building, lumber
shed, carpenter shed, rope shed, lunch room, blacksmith's shop and oil house
are being built under contract. The installation of a ship's lighting system
on the landing-wharf was partially completed.
During the year the following work was also carried out: two cowl venti-
lators were fitted in the upper decks of each caisson to ventilate the chamber
below, and lighter hatch covers were made in the upper decks in place of the
heavy steel doors, to give easier access to the deck below; the upper chambers
of both caissons were thoroughly cleaned by sandbhist and painted; auto-
matic tide gauges were fitted in each caisson for recording the height of water
and to assist in the safer handling of the caissons when opening or closing the
dock; and rubber gaskets were fitted on one meeting face of each caisson to
overcome the leakage. Throughout the year the equipment was kept in good
order, and considerable clearing up and grading done in the dockyard and
grounds.
Fifteen vessels were docked for repairs, cleaning and painting, the dock
being occupied sixty-five days exclusive of Sundays and holidays when no work
was performed and no charges made.
94 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
ESQUIMALT OLD DRY" DOCK
The dock was pumped out and the blocks removed. The caisson was
docked in the inner section of the Esquimalt New Dock and thoroughly chipped,
scaled and painted throughout, with the exception of those plates above water
which require renewing. The roofs of the two dwellings occupied by the steam
power plant operator and the foreman carpenter, as well as that of the black-
smith's shop, were reshingled. A high board fence was erected from the car-
penter's shop to the west side of the approach to the naval coaling wharf. The
pumping plant and other equipment was opened up and all working parts
thoroughly greased and oiled.
Five vessels were docked for repairs, cleaning and painting, the dock being
occupied seventeen days.
LORXE DRY DOCK
The general works of operation and maintenance were carried on by the
regular staff and the following works were executed: repairs were made to the
steam and water feed pipe lines and their asbestos covering, to the brickwork
and arches of the steam boilers, to the macadam road and the toilet building;
the pipe lines were cleaned and painted; the joints in the stone masonry of the
dock were cleaned, refilled and pointed; and general maintenance repairs were
made to the buildings and steam hydraulic mechanical equipment.
The dock was occupied for 313 davs by twenty-six ships of a total tonnage
of 45,150 tons.
Six Canadian Government vessels occupied the dock for forty-three days
during the season of navigation and one during the winter.

SYSTEMS
NEWFOUNDLAND
The line from Port au Basque to Cape Ray continuest to be operated as
heretofore under an arrangement with the Anglo-American Telegraph Com-
pany.
CAPE BRETON
The lines were given the usual annual overhauling and weather conditions
permitted a continuous service on all sections. The placing of the new standard
type of insulator was continued this year on the sections between St. Peters
and Hawkesbury, also between Inverness and Eastern Harbour. This improved
insulation affords better transmission over the lines, particularly in damp or
wet weather. A new telegraph line of 14 miles was built to Arichat, which has
been deprived of direct telegraphic communication since the withdrawal three
years ago of the company supplying this means of communication. This
recently reopened office is the centre of an important section of Richmond
County and is of great assistance to the fishing industry on Isle Madaane.
Other smaller line extensions were made to Pipers Glen, 8 miles, to Roseburn,
5 miles and to Ste. Colomba, 3 miles, making a total increase of 30 miles in the
pole line mileage. There was also an increase in the rented telephone instal-
lations.
The revenue for the past year shows an increase of $812.44 over that of
the preceding year. This resulted from the improved business conditions in
the mining and fishing industry. The cost of operation for 1927-28, as com-
pared with that of 1926-27, shows an increase of $2,920.42. The number of
messages handled was increased by 2,970. There were thirty-five telephone
subscribers added to the list, whereas the telephones removed numbered six-
teen, leaving a net increase of nineteen for the year.
BAY OF FUNDY
The telegraph and telephone circuits of this system have given satisfac-
tory service dn.ring the year. The cost of operation was $4,263.78, which is
$521.75 more than the previous years. There was an increase of $131.84 in
the revenue although there was a decrease of eighty-eight in the number of
messages handled. The numlber of offices remains unchanged.
CH.\THAM-ESCUMINAC
A continuous and satisfactory service was maintained during the year.
Tlie cost of o]jeration for 1927-28, compared with that of the ])revious year,
shows a decrease of $12.17. The revenue decreased by $23.21 and the number
of messages transmitted decreased by eleven. There was no change in the numiber
of telephone subscribers, the number remaining at fifty. This system extends
for a distance of 86 miles adjacent to the northeast coast of New Brunswick
in fhe vicinity of Cliatham.
MAGDALEN ISLANDS
Tlie telej)hone lines on these islands functioned satisfactorily during the
year. The number of telephone subscribers, which last year was 131, has
incicased to 167, divided amongst the three exchanges as follows: Amherst
Harbour, thirty-two, (Irosse Isle, thirty-two, and Grindstone 103. The lines
on the several islands were extensively repaired and in addition 30^ miles of
new wire was strung to accommodate the increased number of telej)hone sub-
GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES, 1927-28 103
scribers. This work necessitated the building of 6^ miles of new pole line.
The operation of this system for the past year cost $1,839.73 more than the
previous year. There was an increase in revenue of $198.07, and a decrease
of 442 in the number of messages handled.
ANTICOSTI ISLAND
The telegraph service on this island, which since 1924 has been under
lease to the Administration of Anticosti, is now operated by the Anticosti Cor-
poration, the present owners of the island. This corporation has taken over
the lease of the telegraph service subject to its original terms and conditions.
The telegraph service by way of the 45-mile cable from Gaspe to Jupiter River
has been very satisfactory throughout the year.
NORTH SHORE ST. LAWRENCE AND CHICOUTIMI DISTRICT
Owing to the over-production of pulp wood and newsprint paper, which
has been general throughout Ontario and Quebec during the past year, many
of the large pulp and paper interests engaged in plant building and logging
operations along the north shore of the St. Lawrence suspended or curtailed
activities. For this reason there was a decrease of 528 in the number of
messages handled. The revenue for the year, however, was increased by
$492.03. The main line from ^Murray Bay, Quebec, to Red Bay, Labrador, a
distance of 1,014 miles, continues to be the sole means of wire communication
over this long stretch of territory. The cost of operation for 1927-28, as com-
pared with that of the previous year, shows an increase of $2,095.81.
ISLAND OF ORLEANS AND QUARANTINE SYSTEM
These lines have given uninterrupted and satisfactory service during the
year. The service of communication to the quarantine station on Grosse
Isle, formerly participated in by the Marconi Wireless Company, is now being
entirely handled by the Government system through its land lines and cables.
A two-wire telephone circuit affords a very satisfactory telephone service with
Quebec city, and an alternative route by way of Crane island furnishes com-
munication facilities to the south shore by way of jNlontmagny. The cost of
operation for 1927-28, as compared with that of the previous year, shows an
increase of $416.10. There was an increase of 1,723 in the number of messages
handled. The revenue increased $12.88.
QUEBEC COUNTY
These telephone lines continued to furnish a veiy satisfactory service to
the villages in the Laurentian Hills to the north of Quebec city. Apart from
a very valuable toll line service to the public there are eighty-three subscribers
served by these lines. The cost of operation for 1927-28, as compared with
that of the previous year, shows a decrease of $106.29. There was a decrease
of $12.85 in the revenue.
TIMISKAMING
La Compagnie du Telephone du Nord, Limitee, continues to operate these
lines under lease.
PELEE ISLAND, ONTARIO
During the year a second cable was laid from Kingsville to Pelee Island
to function as an alternate route in case of interruption to the older and larger
cable between Leamington and the island. The cost of operation for 1927-28,
as compared with the previous year, shows a decrease of $1,081.78, and the
number of messages handled was increased by 1,449. The revenue was cor-
respondingly increased by $144.70.
104 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
SASKATCHEWAN AND ALBERTA
The lines comprised in this combined division were kept in very good
working order during the year, in spite of the fact that there was an extensive
flood in the neighbourhood of Grouard and Slave Lake which did a great deal
of damage. There was also a few very serious windstorms which considerably
damaged the lines. Notwithstanding these adverse conditions there was very
little delay in the transmission of telegrams. The volume of business was very
good and showed a steady growth, with the result that there was an increase
in revenue of $3,186.12. The number of messages transmitted shows an
increase of 6,507. The only new construction was in Northern Saskatchewan
where a line, 45 miles long, was built from Meadow Lake to Loon Lake
affording telegraphic communication between these places and giving a tele-
phone service to the two intermediate offices, Makwa and Pegasus. The cost
of operation for 1927-28, as compared with that of the preceding year, shows
an increase of $1,813.36.
BRITISH COLUMBIA MAINLAND
The telephone service on this division continues to function very satisfac-
torily. The pole line mileage is now 1,638 miles which is a decrease of 109^
miles as compared with that of last year. This reduction was mainly brought
about by the sale of two sections of line, one from Slocan to Slocan Junction
and the other from Nelson to Trail, a total of 117^ miles. There were 8 miles
of new construction completed during the year. There are 240 offices located
in this division and 913 subscribers attached to the different telephone
exchanges. The cost of operation for 1927-28, as compared with that of the
previous year, shows a decrease of $9,030.95. There was likewise a decrease in
revenue of $6,596.95 caused largely by the decrease of 18,517 in the number
of messages handled, mainly due to the sale of lines.
VANCOUVER ISLAND DISTRICT
All lines comprising this district were maintained in good condition during
the past year. The lumber and fish industries on the island have been very
active and an increased volume of business is looked for owing to the estab-
lishment of many fish reduction plants at various points on the west coast of
the island. The Provincial Government is also constructing a highway from
Victoria to Bamfield to which this telegraph line can be moved, thereby
reducing to a great extent the cost of maintenance and increasing the revenue,
by virtue of the increased traffic to this portion of the island.
The cost of operation for the year, as compared with that of the preceding
one, shows an increase of $1,537.61. The revenue was increased by $1,748.94
and an increase of 1,178 in the messages handled was shown. The pole line
mileage, which this year is l,335f miles, shows an increase of 28| miles partly
due to the new construction on Lasqueti Island service. This also required
the laying of 9 miles of submarine cable. The number of offices in this divi-
sion is 174, an increase of three over the number in operation during the pre-
vious year. There are 304 telei)hone subscribers connected to the various
exchanges. This is an increase of thirty-nine over last year.
YUKON SYSTEM AND BRANCHES
The main line and branches comprising the Northern British Columbia
and Yukon telegraph and telephone systems were operated during the past
year very satisfactorily. There were quite a few interruptions of short dura-
tion at various points due to forest fires in the summer, and snow and wind-
GOVERNMENT TELEGRAPH LINES, 1927-28 105
storms during the winter months, but these were promptly repaired with the
minimum amount of delay to traffic. General repairs were made on all sec-
tions by the resident agent-lineman and the sections kept in good order.
On the Hazleton-Prince Rupert and Stewart Branch the line functioned
well during the past year. Few interruptions occurred, these being caused by
the usual winter storms. Traffic was heavy due mainly to increased mining
operations around Stewart and a further increase is expected next season.
On Queen Charlotte Island traffic showed an increase during the past year
principally due to a greater activity in the fishing industry.
On the As'hcroft-Lillooet Branch there was an increase in traffic owing to
the greater influx of tourists over the new Cariboo highway, and the increased
mining operations and power development in the Bridge River district.
The cost of operation for 1927-28, as compared with that of the previous
year, shows a decrease of $196.25. There was an increase of 3,538 in the
number of messages handled.
The total pole mileage is now 3,417^ miles, an increase of 27^ over that
of last year. This increase represents five small extensions to the line, the
principal of these being the Likely-Keithley Creek section of 20 miles built
to serve the settlers and mining operations in this region.

196 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS
THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA
Eric Brown, Director
During the past year the progress of the National Gallery in its endeavour
to build up the finest possible collection of works of art, both ancient and modern,
in Ottawa, and to promote interest in the fine arts in Canada generally, has been
fully maintained. The colle'ctions at the National Gallery in Ottawa, which
must be the foundation upon which all its other possible activities are based,
have been growing rapidly both in quantity and quality. The past year has
seen the most important and valuable additions ever made to it since its institu-
tion, while generally speaking the artistic activities and art exhibition® through-
out the country have been maintained at an increasingly high level.
It is extremely gratifying to know that the purchases recently made are
fullly equal to those made for any of the greatest art galleries in the world.
These acquisitions have been made without the expenditure of any large sums
of money such as are continually being expended by private collections and
many of the more wealthy public galleries.
The care which has been exercised in this direction can best be proved by
a recent valuation made of the collection, which was found by competent
assessors to have made steady, and in some cases, very large increases.
Details of these new accessions are listed below, but special attention is
called to the following outstanding acquisitions as indications of the high
standard maintained.
"The Christ Child and St. John", by Sandro Botticelli (1444-1510), is an
exquisite and rare example of the work of one of the greatest artists of the
Florentine Renaissance, exhibiting therein qualities which are to be found in
examples of the artist's most distinguished works such as the " Primavera "
and the " Venus Rising from the Sea " in the Uffizi Gallery. " The Repentant
Magdalen", a large and brilliantly coloured picture by Paolo Veronese, the most
able decorative painter of 16th Century Venice, is one of the artist's most
famous and important single figure pictures. This, together with the earlier
purchase, "The Christ with Angels", forms one of the best representations of
this artist outside the most renowned European galleries.
The " Portrait of a Merchant ", painted by an artist of the French
Primitive School of Fouquet, towards the end of the 15th century, is another
acquisition of the greatest value and fills a most important gap in the early
history of French painting, at the same time being a consummate piece of
character delineation.
Another work of importance is a large and finely painted " Offering to
Pan " by the 17th century Genoese artist, Benedetto Castiglione. Modern
French painting is sirengtlhened by an extremely outstanding seascape by the
late Charles Cottet, and Italian by a large and finely designed picture called
" The Apple ".
The Canadian school continues to be strengthened by the acquisition of
a number of outstanding works chosen from the Annual Exiribition of Canadian j
Art held at the National Gallery, at which arc exhibited the works of art chosen
by the trustees from the annual exhibitions held by the various art societies]
during the year.
An occasion extremely important to Canada was the exhibition of Canadian
art held at the Galleries of the Jeu de Paume in Paris under the auspices of|
"vhe French and Canadian Governments.
THE NATIONAL GALLERY OF CANADA 197
The exhibition composed of moich of the work wtiich was so well received
at the two British Empire Exhibitions of 1924-26, was opened by His Excel-
lency the Marquis of Crew^e, the British Ambassador, w*ho, accompanied by the
Honourable Philippe Roy, Canadian Commissioner in Paris, received M.
Doumergue, the President of France, and conducted him around the exhibition.
The expert and general reception of the exhibition was as favourable and
generous as that at Wembley in England, and was signalled by the purchase
of one of the most interesting pictures in the ex'hibition, " The Open Stream ",
by Albert H. Robinson, R.C.A., for the national collection in the Luxembourg
Galleries. The exhibition opened on April 11 and closed on May 11.
Canadian art has undoubtedly received a great and desired impetus from
these exhibitions in France and England, and its favourable reception abroad
will go far towards stimulating a greater interest in it at home.

REPORT
OF THE
DEPUTY MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED MARCH 31, 1928
To the Hon. C. A. Dunning,
IVIinister of Railways and Canals.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith the annual report of the De-
partment of Railways and Canals for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1928.
In so far as the report deals with the operation of the Canadian National Railways
the record is for the calendar year 1927. This year, the Canadian National
report is submitted in two parts — the eastern lines being separately dealt with,
as required by the Maritime Freight Rates Act, 1927. This Act became effective
on July 1, 1927, from which date the revenues and expenses of the lines east
of Levis and Diamond Junction have been separately recorded. The change
is in accounting only, and does not affect either the management or the operation
of the system as a whole. The eastern lines thus separately dealt with total
3,108-04 miles of main track; the balance of the system comprises 19,090-99
miles of line, so that the total system steam mileage at December 31 last was
22,199-03.
The year 1927 was a year of expansion in Canadian railway business,
of which increase the Canadian National lines secured reasonable share. There
was a general increase in operating revenue from all sources, which increase
totalled $3,199,069, notwithstanding certain reductions in rates. The revenues
for 1927 were adversely affected also by the early harvest of 1926, and by the
late harvest of 1927. Operating expenses w^ere increased by $8,989,097, princi-
pally in two departments — maintenance of ways and structures, and trans-
portation. An increase of $3,046,750 in maintenance of ways and structures
was due partly to increased wages and partly to a higher standard of maintenance.
The increase of $4,563,602 in the item of transportation was due partly to
increased w^ages and partly to higher fuel costs, and also to the increased business
handled. The result was a decrease of $5,790,028 in net earnings from operation,
and an increase in operating ratio from 81-09 per cent to 83-59 per cent.
Nine Years of Government Operation and Control
The net earnings from operation for the year were $42,113,976, as compared
with $47,904,004 for 1926. These figures were exclusive of eastern lines during
the final half of each year. Nine j^ears have elapsed since it became necessary
for the Government to safeguard, in the national interests, the railway situation
in Canada by taking over the privately-owned lines which had fallen into diffi-
culties during the war. The transition period may, so far as the physical
properties are concerned, be said to have occupied three years, and was not
completed until 1921. In 1922 the management was reorganized, and control
of the consolidated system established under a single board and a luiified man-
agement, with most encouraging results. During the first three years of the
nine-year period referred to, the Government had to meet operating deficits
amounting to $60,299,794. Since the reorganization in 1922 operating surplusses
have replaced operating deficits, and these operating sarplusses at December
31 last totalled $162,844,008 for the six-year period sul)sequent to the change
vi DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
of management. Setting the operating deficits of the first three years against
the operating surplusses of the last six gives a favourable balance of more than
102 million dollars. From year to year, the record has been as follows: —
1919 $14,223,713 00 (deficit)
1920 34, 532, 703 00
1921 11, 543, 378 00
1922 : 2,886,711 55 (surplus)
1923 20, 430, 649 08
1924 17,244,251 48
1925 32, 264,414 79
1926 47,904,004 66
1927 42, 1 13,976 45
From the foregoing, it will be seen that twice during the period of surplusses
there has been a falling away from the general trend of increase. This was the
case in 1924, as compared with 1923, and again in 1927, as compared with 1926.
The first break was followed in 1925 by a notable increase, resulting in the
establishment of a new high in the record of operating surplusses, and there
is every reason to believe that 1928 will estabhsh a similar showing over 1927
and go well beyond the peak estabUshed by the exceptional results achieved
in 1926.
Lest it be objected that the results of operation alone afford no proper
criterion by which to determine the success or failure of government ownership
and operation of these railways, it is well to set up also the total deficit after
fixed or interest charges whica, during the nine-year period, have been as follows:
1919 §55,358,075 00
1920 80,478,828 00
1921 69,866,589 00
1922 57,960,097 78
1923 51 , 697 , 674 94
1924 54,860,419 22
1925 41,444,761 42
1926. 27,247,740 98
1927 34,373,027 22
During the first three j^ears of government operation these figures included
the deficits on operation as well as on interest account, and at that time the item
of interest due the Government was less than half the sum of the interest due
the public. After three years, operating deficits ceased, and from that time
on the final figure has related to interest charges only, which position improved
each year until, in 1926, the railway for the first time was able to provide from
its own revenues the entire interest charges due the public, which amounted
to $39,119,410. Thus, in recent years, the total deficit figure has consisted
principally of interest due the Government. For instance, in 1927, the total
deficit, after fixed charges, was $34,473,027, and the item of Government interest
alone, $32,190,648.
The deficit figure is, of course, obtained from the* income statement from
which the net income deficit is carried to profit and loss account where certain
debits and credits are taken into consideration. From profit and loss account
the debit balance is carried into the balance slieet where corporate surplusses
or deficits further affect the situation. Thus, while the total of the deficits,
after fixed charges, given above, amounts to $493,287,216, the total accumulated
deficit, as shown in the balance sheet at December 31 last, has, by reason of
credits and income surplusses, been reduced to $438,413,818.
Included in tl is sum is the unpaid iiitere.st on loans and advances from
the Don)ii-ion Government, amounting at the same date to $226,142,005.
In addition to swelling the deficit, this item of government interest also goes
to swell each year the amount of the railway indebtedness to the Government,
an aspect of the railway situation which will be dealt with in a subsequent
paragraph.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER vu
Financial Requirements of the Nine-year Period
Loans from the Dominion of Canada dating back, in some instances to
1911, are outstanding to the amomit of $595,538,349. The cash interest of
the investing piibHc is represented by the unmatured funded debt, amounting
to $981,381,736, $657,181,329.89 of which is guaranteed by the Dominion
Government and $93,574,380.26 by the various provinces. The total of this
government and private financing now outstanding is $1,576,920,085.
In the nine years under review — April 1, 1919, to March 31, 1928 — it
has been necessary to provide new funds to meet Canadian National require-
ments to the extent of $878,884,053.94.
These funds were, over the same period, utilized as follows: —
Income deficits $206, 142,969 42
Retiring maturing obligations 297,678,068 76
Additions and betterments 375,063,01.5 76
$878,884,053 94
These funds have been provided from the following sources: —
Dominion cash loans _. $429, 237, 595 89
Bond and note issues guaranteed by Dominion $381,488,279 86
Unguaranteed issues 76, 375, 000 00
Less discounts, etc., on above 8,216,821 81
449,646,458 05
$878,884,053 94
The provision of these funds does not mean that the debt of the National
Railways has been increased to the extent of $878,884,053.94 during this nine-
year period. To find the net increase in debt it is necessary to deduct the
sum of $297,678,068.76 which went to meet maturing obligations already forming
part of the debt of the railways. In that way, one obligation merely cancelled
another, and the actual increase in debt over the nine years referred to was,
therefore, $581,205,985.18, and of that sum, as already shown, three hundred
and seventy-five millions went into the property in the shape of additions and
betterments.
The interest of the Dominion of Canada is not represented solely by cash
loans and advances. Interest which has accrued on these loans, and remains
unpaid, has gone to swell the obligations of the railways to the Dominion to
the extent of $226,142,005. In addition, there must be considered the appro-
priations on account of the original Canadian Government lines, amounting
to $436,416,387, on which appropriations no interest is accrued.
Including cash loans, unpaid interest, and moneys contributed on account
of the original Government lines, the interest of the Dominion in the Canadian
National Railways as shown in the balance sheet of the company at December
31, 1927, was $1,258,096,742.03, while the investment of the general pubhc
at the same date was, as already stated, $981,381,736.52. The interest of the
Canadian taxpaj^er in the Canadian National Railways is, therefore, the pre-
ponderating interest.
War-time Difficulties Recalled
■ In reviewing the results of nine years of government ownership and opera-
tion, it may be of assistance at this time to restate briefly the circumstances
that led to the nationalization of three out of the fovir principal privately-
owned railways in Canada a decade ago. While the nationalization of these
Canadian railways followed in part the recommendations of the majority finding
of a Royal Commission appointed to study the problem, it was not the result
viii DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
of deliberate public policy. It was, rather, the outcome of a situation which
arose largely as a result of the war. Originally, the Canadian Government
lines consisted of the former Intercolonial Railway between the Maritime
Provinces and Montreal. With the Intercolonial Railway was associated
for operation the Prince Edward Island line. The Transcontinental Railway,
between Moncton and Winnipeg, was constructed by the Government, not
with a view to operation as a Government line, but to be leased by the Grand
Trunk Pacific for operation as the eastern section of the Company's Trans-
continental project, under an agreement which was repudiated by the Grand
Trunk Pacific in 1915, at which time the Government, while reserving its legal
rights in the premises, took over the Transcontinental for operation in the
interests of the struggling colonists who had gone into the territory served by
the railway. In 1917, the Canadian Northern Railway, after some years of
difficult financing, passed under government control, following the purchase by
the Government of the common stock outstanding. The formal transfer to
government ownership took place late in 1918, when the Canadian Northern
Board took charge of the operation, for the Government, of the original
Government lines and the Transcontinental, as well as the Canadian Northern
lines. From the date of this new operating alignment, the Canadian Northern
Railway Company was authorized to use the collective and description
designation, "Canadian National Railways."
In 1919, the Grand Trunk Pacific, unable to get further support from the
parent organization — the Grand Trunk — was obliged to cease operation, and
the service, which was important to many struggling communities in Western
Canada, was continued under the receivership of the Minister of Railways.
Actual operation, however, was under the direction of the new Canadian National
Board.
The Grand Trunk had little, if any, choice in the matter of abandoning
the Grank Trunk Pacific. The unforseen conditions arising out of the war
had entirely altered for the time being the railway outlook in Canada, and
had greatly weakened the financial position of the parent organization, which,
in 1920, also concluded an arrangement by which the Grand Trunk was, in
1921, acquired by the Government and included in the Canadian National
system for operation.
Cash Loans and Guarantees Diminish
The financial requirements of the railways during this period of difficulty
were very great, money being needed for the completion of partially constructed
lines, for maintenance which had been unavoidably deferred, for refinancing
and for the meeting of deficits on both income and operation accoinit. The
uncertainty of outlook made for dear money in financing from private sources,
and largely upon the Government fell the task of providing the immense sums
necessary to tide the railways over the lean years until reorganization could
be effected and the railways placed in a more satisfactory position. The heavy
burden of financing which fell upon the Government during the reconstruction
period is reflected in the following statement, showing the situation as it develop-
ed from year to j^ar during the period of greatest difficulty: —

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER ix
It may be urged that in this connection there should be inchided a statement
also of the guarantees given by the Government on the bond issues put out
by the railway. As to that, it may be stated that during all but two of the
nine years under review bond issues were put out carrying the guarantee of
the Government, as will be seen from the following statement: —
GUARANTEED BOND ISSUES
1919-20 $ 17, 109,027 00

1926-27 34,879,252 86
1927-28 65,000,000 00
S381,488,279 86
The guarantee of thirty-four million odd in 1926-27 was not a matter of
ordinary railway financing, but was required in consequence of the settle nent
effected with the holders of Grand Trunk Pacific 4 per cent debentures and was
a compromise arrangement under which 2 per cent of the guaranteed 4 per cent
interest became available for a sinking fund which will of itself redeem the
entire issue in thirty-two years. The Grand Trunk Pacific was, of course,
in receivership, there was no guarantee of the original issue, and in effecting
the settlement in question it became possible to write off arrears of interest
amoU'iting to .S8, 138,492, which the property had been unable to eara.
The statement of guarantees does not indicate any tendency on the part
of the Government to avoid railway financial responsibilities by resorting
unduly to the market on strength of guarantee, as, aside from the adventitious
Grand Trunk Pacific guarantee ai)ove referred to, the guarantees of the last
three fiscal years consisted only of the sixty-five million issue of 4| per cent
thirty-year bonds of July 1, 1927.
The guarantees above referred to have to do with both principal and interest,
and it should perhaps be added that there were also, in 1920, guarantees in
perpetuity of interest on Grand Trunk stocks and debentures totalling $216,-
207,141. This was a condition of the Grand Trunk acquisition agreement.
The Item of Government Interest
Reference was made in a previous paragraph to the rapidly mounting
item of interest due the Government which, appearing as a deficit, also appears
as an addition to the obligations of the railways under Dominion of Canada
account. This interest is not compounded, but the item grows quickly, the
yearly accrual now being more than double that of a decade ago. This item
had accumulated to $226,142,005.41 at December 31 last, and by the end of
the current year will have passed the quarter billion mark. This matter of
unpaid interest, therefore, becomes of increasing importance with each succeeding
year. In the early stages of the financial complications of the railways this
situation was dealt with for the time being by the expedient of adding the item
to the debt of the railway to the Government. This procedure was somewhat
in the nature of a promissory note. However, the obligation has reached
such proportions as to call for early consideration on tlie part of l^oth the railway
management and the Government. The Government loaned to certain railways
large sums which became a charge on the physical properties of the companies.
It also guaranteed many bond issues on which private inoneys were raised. To
that extent the Government backed the notes of the railways. Finally, as chief
X DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
creditor and principal endorser, the Government found it necessary to take over
the hnes in order to protect its position and the interests of the Canadian public
■dependent upon the railways. In ordinary business, that would have ended any
question of further interest on the loans, the properties being accepted in satis-
faction of claims. Owing, however, to bookeeping requirements and the
necessity to preserve an absolute statement of corporate financing and the Gov-
ernment's part therein, the record of these obligations was continued after the
Government took control, and from year to year was augmented as fresh financial
requirements had to be met. In this way, the old obligations were, from the
standpoint of record, merged with the newer, until to-day the railways are
carrying not only the financial load that proved too much for private ownership,
but the additional financing of the mtervening years since reorganization.
Had the affairs of the railways been liquidated by court process when the roads
went under, financial reorganization would have taken place at that time,
and the problem would, to that extent, have been less complicated. The
taking over by the Government of the railways as going concerns when they
were virtually insolvent, and the necessity to deal first with more insistent
questions connected with the co-ordination of the physical properties and the
reorganization of their management, postponed for a time the possibility of
giving effective consideration to the position of the financial structure, which
consideration now becomes a matter of prime importance.
Where the !Money Went
The $562,490,349.30 represented by the cash loans to the railways — and
here we are not discussing the nine-year period only, but loans dating back
to 1911 — did not all go to meet operating and income deficits. Of the foregoing
sum, S245,341,700.36 went to meet such deficits, largely in the earlier years
following the taking over of the roads. The remainder of the loans were used
for the following purposes: Redemption of debt to the public, $86,605,038.54;
investment in road and equipment, $202,014,616.74; working capital, $28,528,-
993.66. From this it will be seen that a considerable sum went to the retirement
of the debt to the public. That decreased to the extent of eighty-six milhon
dollars the stake of the investing public in the railways, and increased to the
same extent the interest of the Government. At the same time, more than
two hundred millions of Government m.oney went into investment in road and
equipment. There would seem to be no reason why those sums should be
regarded as other than an investment capable of eventual return.
Lest in any quarter the supposition that Canada obtained these formerly
privately-owned railways at little cost still obtains, it will do no harm to state
that up to December 31 last the former Canadian Northern Eailway had required
and received in cash loans and advances, $344,799,978.66; the Grand Trunk,
$118,582,182.33; and the Grand Trunk Pacific, $96,878,806.56. These moneys
were used by the several corporations for the following purposes: —

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xi
Since April 1, 1919, the Government has as well guaranteed bond issues of
Canadian National railways to the extent of $381,488,279.86, the proceeds
of which, amounting to $375,537,637.14, were utilized as follows: —
Operating and income deficits $35,820, 702 54

Substantial Improvement in Every Direction
The analysis and review of the results of nine years of Government operation
and control of the National lines — six of which years are to the credit of the
present management — discloses substantial improvement in every conceivable
direction. The property has grown greatly in value and importance. Its
mileage has been extended into potentially valuable territory. Its rolling
stock and motive power have kept pace with the requirements of increasing
traffic and more ardent competition. So much for the physical side. On
the financial side, operating deficits have given place to surplusses that may
now be expected to take care of the interest charges of the public investors
and provide something for other requirements. The net deficit after fixed
charges is now largely a matter of interest due the Government on loans to
properties it now owns, loans definitely indicated as "non-active" in the Dom-
inion Public Accounts, but remaining active on the books of the railways.
In that connection, it may be remarked that interest on appropriations connected
with the original Governmi.ent lines has never been accrued. Those railways
were regarded as public works and the moneys provided from consolidated
revenues.
New capital requirements of the national lines tend to grow less, and there
being no longer necessity to provide for operating deficits, and the railways
having reached the point where they may be expected to provide their own
interest charges to the investing public, such new funds as are required go
either into refunding or to the betterment and extension of the property. With-
out desire to deal extravagantly with the situation, nor to make invidious
comparison with private ownership and operation, so successfully demonstrated
in competition with Canadian National lines, it is nevertheless a satisfaction
to be able to point to such substantial improvement in a situation whicli, a
short ten years ago, was admittedly a matter of grave national concern. The
present financial structure must l^e brought into line with the changed situation
as affecthig the properties. It is understood that the management has for some
time been making a very careful study of all the considerations involved and
that before long definite recommendations may be looked for. Once the financial
structure has had attention it is felt that the Canadian National lines may look
forward with confidence to even greater progress and freer and untrammelled
usefulness to the public it seeks to serve.
xii DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Canadian National Railways — Eastern Lines
The Maritime Freight Rates Act, 1927, is chapter 44 of the Statutes of
Canada for 1927.
Section 6 of the Act is as follows: —
"For accounting purposes, but without affecting the management and operation of any
of the Eastern Lines, the revenues and expenses of the Eastern Lines (including the reductions
herein authorized which shall be borne by the Eastern Lines) shall be kept separately from all
other accounts respecting the construction, operation and management of the Canadian National
Railways. In the event of any deficit occurring in any railway fiscal year in respect of the
Eastern Lines the amount of such deficit shall be included in a separate item in the estimates
submitted to Parliament for or on behalf of the Canadian National Railways at the first session
of Parliament following the close of such fiscal year."
The Act became effective as of July 1, 1927. For that reason the com-
parative earnings shown elsewhere in this report cover the six months' periods
in the years 1926 and 1927 from July 1 to December 31 in each year.

The above figures include actual receipts only.
But for the "20 per cent" reduction in freight rates the above 1927 revenue
figure would have been increased by approximately $931,809.89, with the
result that the deficit in net earnings would have been reduced by this amount
to $1,6.53,472.33, so that for the six months' period the 1927 deficit would have
exceeded the 1926 deficit by $232,660.22 only.-
The jVIaritime Freight Rates Act also provides that companies other than
the Canadian National, operating in the affected territory, shall be reimbursed
the amount of the difference between normal tolls and the preferred rates under
the 20 per cent reduction arrangement. As provided by this legislation, the
following payments were made to privately-owned railways east of Levis and
Diamond Junction for losses of revenues due to the operation of the Act during
the six months ended December 31, 1927: — ■

Canadian Northern Income Debenture Stock Settlement
During the year the imsatisfactory position of the Canadian Northern
Railway Company's 5 per cent income charge convertible debenture stock
was terminated by an arrangement reached with the stockholders whereby
the principal of tlie stock outstanding, amounting to $24,137,846.08, was to
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER jdii
become due and payable at 94 per cent of par on May 6, 1928. This was in
accordance with a scheme of arrangement and compromise effected with the
holders of the stock in question which was approved by the shareholders by
unanimous consent at a meeting held in London on November 15, 1927, and
afterwards ratified by the Canadian Parhament by chapter 11, 18-19 George V,
assented to on March 30, 1928. By the same Act. authority was given the
railway to issue securities sufficient to realize $22,689,575.32, the amount
required by the compromise arrangement, or its equivalent in sterling money.
No interest has been earned on the security thus retired since the Canadian
Northern fell into difficulties in 1914, and it was the desire of the shareholders
themselves that they should be paid out as proposed in order that they might
be in a position to reinvest their capital and secure a return. The capital,
reinvested, would, in the two years the issue otherwise would have had to run,
more than earn the difference between the 94 per cent which was paid for the
stock and the full 100 per cent which would have been called for at the latter
date.
A "Yard-stick" of Railw^ay Performance
In view of the references occasionally made to the greater volume of traffic
and higher rates enjoj-ed by United States railways, the following summarized
contrast of operating results obtained by Class I American roads and similar
lines on the Canadian side of the border during 1927 will, no doubt, be of interest.
Canadians generally, will also be interested in the comparative statement of
the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific operating results for the same
period. The figures affecting the United States lines are taken from summaries
published by the United States Bureau of Railway Economics, Washington,
D.C.; those affecting Canadian roads as a whole are compiled by the Trans-
portation Branch, Dominion Bureau of Statistics, The figures relating to
Canadian National and Canadian Pacific lines are compiled from the annual
reports of those companies. "Eastern lines" are the maritime province fines of
the Canadian National System.

Hudson Bay Railway and Terminals
In 1920, the work of completing the Hudson Bay Railway was actively
resumed by the department. Before the shut-down in 1918, track had V)een
laid to Mile 'S.i2, the second crossing of the Nelson river at Kettle rapids, about
90 miles from Nelson. Although track had been laid to Mile 332, the railway
had been in operation only to Mile 214. During the eight-year interval between
the closing down of the work and the resumption of construction, nature had
rendered useless much of the work that had gone into the line. The ties had
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xv
rotted and required replacing; the right of way had been badly heaved by
successive frosts, and embankments had settled. Before additional construction
could be undertaken it was necessary, therefore, to rehabilitate the entire mileage
as formerly constructed. This was done by the construction forces of the
Canadian National Railways, at the instance of the department. The resump-
tion of work on the railway made it necessary either to confirm the choice
of Nelson as the terminus of the road or reconsider the situation. In that
connection, a special committee of the Senate had recommended that before
making further important expenditures at Nelson, a new and thorough exam-
ination into the relative merits of Churchill and Nelson should be made. No
authority on harbour development had previously been consulted in relation
to Hudson Bay ports, and Mr. Frederick Palmer, of Rendel, Palmer and Tritton,
London, England, was engaged by the Government to investigate the respective
merits of the two ports. Concurrently, steps were taken to ascertain whether
it was physically possible to construct a line to Churchill, doubt having been
thrown on that possibility by engineers who had favoured the selection of
Nelson. After close investigation by competent engineers, it was found that
it would be no more difficult to construct a line of railway to Churchill than
to Nelson. In August, 1927, Mr. Palmer, together with the Minister of Railways
and Canals and the chief officials of the department, visited both places, and
on their return Mr. Palmer reported that Churchill was undoubtedly the port
to be selected as affording a real harbour in which shipping facilities could be
provided in calm water, protected from all storms by the surrounding rocky
cliffs. His report has been separately printed and is available in the department.
In it, Mr. Palmer has supplied estimated costs of corresponding accommodation
at Nelson and Churchill which show that, including interest during the period
of construction, the cost at Churchill will be less than one-third of what would
be required to complete at Nelson. Even after adding the cost of the extra
87 miles of railway to Churchill, the cost of developing a port at the latter
point would be only about one-half of the Nelson estimate. It was stated
also that the time for the completion of the works at Churchill, namely, three
years, was one-half of the time that would be required to provide the necessary
works at Nelson; also, the annual charges, including interest, operation and
maintenance, would be about a million dollars greater at Nelson than at Chur-
cljill. An important consideration was the fact that approach to Nelson of
vessels of 28 feet draught would be limited to a brief period around high water
at neap tides, unless much expenditure were incurred in dredging, whereas at
Churchill accommodation could readily be provided to admit of 28-foot draught
vessels during twenty-four hours of each day.
Mr. Palmer estimated the cost, including interest, of the necessary works
at Nelson at $26,1.55,550, and at Churchill at $8,450,159, and the annual charges
$1,474,594 at Nelson and $413,980 at Churchill. The latter item includes
interest on the extra capital cost of 87 miles of railway construction to Churchill.
In consequence of this recommendation by such an acknowledged authority
on harbour problems, it was decided to extend the railway to Churchill and
establish the Hudson Bay Railway terminal at that point, which, as a matter
of fact, was the terminus named in the instructions to the engineers in charge
of the original surveys of twenty years ago.
During the year, good progress has been made in the construction of the
railway to Churchill, which leaves the original line at Mile 356. The mileage
at Churchill is 510, as against 422 at Nelson. The grading and ditching of
the Churchill extension has been let to contract, while the track antl station
work is being taken care of by Canadian National construction forces. To
March 31, 1928, $20,780,247.91 has been expended on the line. It is estimated
that when the expenditures on the line to Churchill are (completed, the total
cost will l)e about twenty-eight and one-half million dollars. This l/^^Jt named
xvi DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
figure does not, of course, include the cost of the ocean terminals already referred
to. As this summary is written, track has been laid to Mile 437, which means
that 81 miles of new line have been construCfted and that the end of steel is
now 73 miles from Churchill. At the peak of operations during the year,
2,200 men were employed on Hudson Bay Railway work.
As soon as a decision had been reached regarding the establishment of the
terminus at Churchill, active preparations were made to transfer from Nelson
such equipment and material as could be usefully employed on the new location.
Much of this was transported by lighters and tugs during the latter part of
the 1927 season, and also during the recent season of navigation. Considerable
material was also hauled during the winter months from Nelson to Churchill
by tractors operating along the shore. During the past summer, about 16,000
tons of material have been sent in by sea from Halifax and Sydney, and unloaded
at Churchill, Two dipper dredges — Churchill No. 1 and Churchill No. 2, built
at IMontreal especially for the work — were delivered at Fort Churchill late in
September. A hopper barge — the Chesterfield, built at Colhngwood, Ont. —
w^as also delivered at Churchill late in September, and is now available, with
the other equipment, for an early start on the work next year. A second hopper
barge — acquired by the Department of Marine and Fisheries last year, and
taken to Port Nelson — has been towed to Fort Churchill, and is now available,
with the other equipment, for next season's operations. On the operations
at Churchill, 349 men were employed during the season, and the work was
materially expedited by the use of airplanes between Churchill and the end of
steel. About 3,000 tons of coal are now available, and the establishment is
well supplied with materials for prosecuting the work during the coming year.
The Canals
During the fiscal year, the departmental expenditure chargeable to canals
was $16,720,404.20, of which $13,722,925.75 was capital expenditure connected
with the construction of the Welland Ship canal and 82,938,154.45 general
expenditure, including $1,345,244.64 on staff account. Revenue received from
canals during the year amounted to $1,355,677.46, the largest single item,
$614,466.25, representing the earnings of the Port Colborne elevator. As is
generally known, tolls are no longer charged for the use of the canals bj" shipping,
and the revenue referred to is from elevator charges, leases, hydraulic rentals^
etc.
Navigation in 1927 opened approximately two weeks earlier than in 1926
and closed somewhat later than the previous season. Traffic through the Wel-
land and St. Lawrence canals was by far the heaviest carried, exceeding the
previous record made in 1925 by 1,607,161 tons, or 28-5 per cent, for the Welland
canal, and by 1,705,964 tons, or 27-5% for the St. Lawrence canals. The increase
over the 1926 traffic on the ^^ elland canal was, 2,032,945 tons, or 39 per cent, the
chief increase being in grain, especially wheat, which was heavier by 1,265,759
tons, or 42,191,960 bushels. Cargoes up the St. Lawrence canals from salt
water continue to increase, amounting, during the 1927 season, to 196 boats,
with a total of 306,890 tons of freight. These included 57 cargoes of scrap
iron from New York to Detroit, 92 cargoes of pulpwood from Newfoundland,
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and gulf ports, princij^ally for Ogdensburg, Corn-
wall and Oswego, 14 cargoes of iron and steel and their products from Sydney
to the head of the lakes and 3 cargoes to other points, 10 cargoes of coal from
the United Kingdom to Toronto, Ogdensburg and Cardinal, 3 cargoes of china
clay from England to lake Michigan ports, 7 cargoes of sugar from St. John
and Halifax, 2 cargoes of sugar and 2 cargoes of sulphur from Philadelphia,
and 6 miscellaneous cargoes. During 1926, only 131 such cargoes, totalling
177,679 tons, passed up the canals. The 1927 tally, however, included 23
cargoes of 52,212 tons of pulpwood from gulf ports, which territory was not
included in the 1926 figures.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xvii
During the fiscal year, the GoWrnment elevator at Port Colliorne received
77,621,713 luishels of grain, an increase over the record of the jn-evioas year of
15,086 • 14 l)ushels, which estabhshed the highest record in the history of the
elevator. Of the total grain received 60 per cent was from Canadian ports
and 40 per cent from United States ports.
The canal system of Canada comprises a series of canals and canalized
waters by which a total waterway of 1,831 miles has been opened to navigation.
These canals may be considered under two main classes: the through St. Law-
rence and Great Lakes route and the sul)sidiary canals or branches. By the
former, communication with seaports is made possible for vessels of not more
than 14 feet draught which navigate the Great Lakes. The latter or l^ranch
system of canals serves for the most part the requirements of local traffic.
The through water route between Montreal, at the head of ocean navigation,
and Fort William, and Port Arthur, on the west shore of lake Superior, comprises
74 miles of canal, with forty-nine locks and 1,140 miles of river and lake waters,
or a total of 1,214 miles. The minimum depth of water on this route, at normal
low water level, is 14 feet. From Montreal to Duluth, at the southwest end
of lake Superior, the total distance of 1,337 miles, and to C'hicago 1,244 miles.
Work on the Welland Ship canal, v>hich, with interruptions due to the
war, has been in progress since the latter part of the year 1913, is now well
advanced. The total distance traversed from lake to lake by this new canal
will be 25 miles. The difference in level between the two lakes, 325| feet,
will be overcome by seven lift locks, all of which are now well advanced towards
completion, each having a lift of 46^ feet. There will also be one guard lock
of variable lift. The locks are 829 feet long and 80 feet wide in, the clear, and
will provide a depth of 30 feet of water over the mitre sills. The width of the
canal prism at bottoni is to be 200 feet. A new breakwater now practically
completed at Port Colborne extends 2,000 feet farther into the lake at right
angles to the existing structure. At Port Weller, the lake Ontario entrance,
the necessary harbour works have now been practically completed.
For the past six years work on the canal which, during the war years and
for some years after, was greatly retarded or entirely at a standstill, has pro-
gressed in a very satisfactory manner, and the estimated cjuantities of the
principal items of work involved in the construction of the entire canal, with
percentages of each now completed, are as follows: —
Rock excavation S, 750,000 cu. vds. 8G p.c.
Earth excavation 50,657,000 " 79 "
Watertight embankments 5,434,000 " 67 "
Concrete, all classes .3,411,000 " 88 "
Reinforcing steel 26, 000, 000 pounds 97 "
Steel sheet piling 37,162,000 " 87"
It is expected that construction will l)e completed during 1930.
Branch Line Construction
At the 1927 session of Parliament sixteen branch line projects were auth-
orized for a total mileage of 510-4 and a total expenditure of $20,400,000 spread
over a three-year period. During the calendar year 1927, $3,191,604.63 was
expended on this program, which is the second to be authorized by Parliament
since the reorganization of the Canadian National management. In 1924.
and 1925, pY-oposals involving 652-3 miles of branch line construction were
authorized at an estimated cost of $18,002,000. Work on one line was not
proceeded with, a joint arrangement having been made with the Canadian
Pacific Ptailway in.^tead, but, otherwise, all construction incidental to that
program was completed during 1927, at a final cost of $15,615,515. On the
present program, it is expected that an expenditure of $10,725,000 will be made
during 1928, which would leave about $7,533,396 for 1929 operations.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xix
Operating Results — ^United States Lines and Canadian Lines Separately
Shown
The following statement gives the division of the Canadian National
system's income account as between lines in Canada and lines in the United
States, from which it will be seen that while the gross operating revenues of
the United States lines were considerably greater than in 1926, the operating
expenses increased proportionately, and the net operating revenue was, therefore,
less in 1927 than in the previous year. In the same way, there was a slight
reduction in the final figure of net income after fixed charges. This net on the
American hues, 1927, amounted to $1,512,683.30.

Canadian Government Railways, Original Lines
In the present publication will be found not only the annual report of the
Canadian National system as well as the separate statement concerning Eastern
Lines, but a report dealing with the former Canadian Government Railways
as a whole and not as restricted by the dividing line at Levis and Diamond
Junction established for accounting purposes by the Maritime Freight Rates
legislation. These original Government Railway's are still vested in the Crown
as represented by the IMinister of Railways. They extend from Halifax and
St. John, on the east, to Winnipeg, and include the Intercolonial and Prince
Edward Island lines and eastern branch lines as well as the Transcontinental,
from Moncton to Winnipeg, and the former Grand Trunk Pacific Lake Superior
])ranch, which connects the Transcontinental with Fort William and Port
Arthur, making a total operated mileage of 4,498-71.
The capital account of these original Government lines, that is, the invest-
ment in road and equipment, at December 31, 1927, was .S414,768,ol2.99.
In addition, there are improvements on leased properties and other physical
l)roperty, such as hotels, etc., representing a further investment of 81,419,289.57.
For all purposes connected with these railways, the Dominion had appropriated
to Decemljer 31, 1927, $430,416,387.32. The operating revenues of these
original Government lines, expressed as a whole, were S46,437,217.27, and the
operating expenses, $44,630,826.02, leaving a net revenue from railway operations
of -SI, 806, 391. 25. Tax accruals and miscellaneous operations reduced this
operating net to a total operating income of $1,."j01,940.17. Non-operating
income, rentals, etc., of $1,241,750.22 bring the gross income from these lines
up to $2,743,690.39. Deductions from gross income, debit rentals, etc, l)ai
not including any interest charges, amount to $2,154,905.14, leaving a final
total net income of $588,785.25. The corresponding figure for 1926 operation.^
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER xxi
was $1,908,235. Operation of the St. John and Quebec Railway — a leased
line — resulted, in 1927, in a net deficit of $214,246.54. In addition, a rental of
$108,116.84 — 40 per cent of operating revenues — had to be paid, which brought
the total loss on the operation of this line for the year in question to $332,362.38.
Accountant's Report
Included in the report, will be found the customary statement by the
departmental accountant of the total expenditure and revenue of the department
prior to and since Confederation, to March 31, 1928. During that lengthy
period, the grand total expenditure of the department has been $1,363,460,879.14,
of which sum $935,905,584.80 was expended on railways, $272,385,797.85 on
canals, $78,785,471.09 on railway subsidies, $54,473,429.34 on miscellaneous
departmental expenditure, and $21,910,596.06 on the Quebec bridge. Including
the Quebec bridge and railway subsidies, the department paid on railway account
during the period in question no less than $1,036,601,651.95.
The total departmental expenditure for the fiscal year ended March 31,
1928, was $26,608,706.47, of which $4,636,643.13 was on railway account,
$16,720,404.20 on canals, and $5,251,659.14 general expenditure.
During the entire period prior to and since Confederation a grand total
revenue was received amounting to $416,731,725.33, of which $391,866,392.09
was from railways and $24,865,333.24 from canals. The revenue received
from canals during the last fiscal year was $1,355,677.46. This was entirely
from rentals, elevator charges, etc., and not from tolls — -which were abolished
a quarter of a century ago.
Government Employees' Compensation Act
The Department of Railways and Canals is in charge, for all departments,
of the administration of the Government Employees' Compensation Act (chapter
30, Revised Statutes of Canada, 1927). The concentration of this work with
the Department of Railways and Canals — -which had to maintain a considerable
staff for the work as related to Canadian Government railways and canals —
renders it unnecessary to maintain duplicate staffs in other departments.
From 1918, when the law was enacted, to March 31, 1928, a total of $2,364,-
797.24 had been paid out in compensation, pensions, administration, etc. Of
this sum, including amounts advanced, there has been received by: —
New Brunswick $504,436 31

Sir, — On behalf of the Board of Directors I have the honour to submit
the report of the operation and affairs of the Canadian National Railway System
for the year ended December 31, 1927. The Maritime Freight Rates Act,
1927, having become effective on July 1 the results of the Eastern Lines as
described in that Act are eliminated from the Canadian National Railways
accounts and are published separately. Due to receivership proceedings the
accounts and mileages of the Central Vermont Railway System have been
excluded from this report. The Canadian National Railways 1926 accounts
have been restated in order to perinit an accurate comparison with the year 1927.

General Remarks
Having regard for the various factors relating to the system the general
results of the year's operations may be considered satisfactory. Although
the net earnings were less by $5,790,000 than those for 1926, they were much
higher than in any previous year.
GROSS EARNINGS
Gross earnings exceeded those of 1926 by $3,199,069 (1.26%). This
increase was not in proportion to the increase in operating expenses, partly
on account of reduced rates, the early harvest in 1926 and the late har\rest in
1927.
Operating Expenses
Operating expenses exceeded those of 1926 by about $8,989,000 (4-37%)
represented substantially by increases in wages and in maintenance of way
and structures.
Maintenance of Way and Structures
The increase of $3,046,750 (7%) is due partly to increased wages and partly
to a higher standard of maintenance. Part of the work involved in the extension
of stone ballast and the introduction of heavier rails was responsible for a share
of the increase. The balance of these two items is charged to capital account.
While due economy is essential, it is felt that the introduction of a higher standard
of maintenance has been wise.
Special items included $136,000 for the widening of Victoria Bridge roadway,
Montreal, also $236,371 written off account changes involved in the Toronto
Viaduct scheme. The work of replacing wooden trestles and culverts with
permanent structures has been continued.
Maintenance of Equipment
The expenditures under this heading were only $125,000 (-27%) more
than those for the previous year. That the increased traffic did not require
a larger increase in this item was largely due to increased efficiency in shops
and yards and in shop operations. During the 3'ear a new class of locomotives —
the 6100 class — was introduced. These locomotives serve both passenger and
freight purposes and have given very satisfactory results. They were designed
mainly by our own officers to meet our own requirements. As an instance
of their capabilities they are operated without change between Sarnia and
Montreal (511 miles), with consequent reduction in roundhouse and terminal
expense and appreciable saving in other ways.
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS 3
Transportation Expenses
The increase of $4,563,602 (4-5%) was to a great extent due to higher
wages and to some extent to higher fuel costs; also partly to increased business.
Betterments
Work on the following items was included under this heading: —
New immigration facilities at the Halifax ocean terminals (now nearly-
completed) ; new train shed at Saint John (finished) ;
New stations at Summerside and Carleton, P.E.I. , and at St. Faf^iea, P.Q.;
car repair plant at Jonquiere;
Freight transfer yard at Oshawa; west bound freight yard at Niagara Falls;
additional yard tracks at Mimico; 69 miles of automatic nlock signals for do jble
track main line on Cornwall and Dundas subdivisions; 300 ton main hne mechan-
ical coahng plants at Paris and Belleville;
Varioas items in connection with the Toronto Viaduct scheme, including
new engine facilities; also bridge over Spadina avenue; new through freight
tracks to the soath of the viaduct and retaining wall along Fleet street:
Tunnel yard extension at Port Huron; additional work on enlarged train
yard at Pontiac;
2 • 74 miles of the Pontiac Belt Line; continuation of grade separation
projects at Chicago, South Bend, Lansing and Detroit; various improvements
at Flint, including passenger station and additional trackage;
New station at Edmonton and car shop at Prince Rupert; 6 mile loop
line at Saskatoon.
Traffic Movement
While the general business enjoyed by the company has been satisfactory,
it is felt that a field exists for further and more intensive traffic solicitation
together with the continued mobilization of every individaal in the service of
the company in the attraction of traffic to the company's lines. No aspect
of the company's affairs is more important than continuous and vigorous activity
in this direction.
The system revenue ton miles during 1927 show an increase of -85 per cent
over the 1926 figure. The western grain crop totalled 996,510,000 bushels,
an increase of 85,534,000 bushels (9-4%) over 1926. Due to adverse weather
conditions both in the spring and fall harvesting was delayed, with the result
that deliveries of grain during 1927 as compared with those of 1926 were 4-4 per
cent lower to the head of the lakes and 1 • 7 per cent lower to Vancouver and
Prince Rupert. The portion of the 1927 crop which did not move during
that year will be handled in the first six months of this year.
Our passenger revenues were increased approximately 1-43 per cent. The
average distance each passenger was carried during 1927 was 72-96 miles,
as compared with 66-67 miles in 1926. The number of passengers ticketed
ex-transatlantic steamers increased by 3-9 per cent over those ticketed in 1926.
Chinese passenger traffic decreased 24 per cent, due to the disturbed situation
in China.
Our express business showed a general increase, as compared with the
previous year and resulted in an increase in revenue of 3 05 per cent.
Traffic Items
Freight revenues have been adversely affected during the year as a result
of certain rate adjustments.
Under General Order No. 448 of the Board of Railway Commissioners,
effective September 12, 1927, grain rates from all points in Western Canada
to the head of the lakes were reduced appreciably; and grain rates to Vancouver
69416 -li
4 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
and Prince Rupert for export were reduced to the lakehead rate basis. Up
to the end of 1927 the relative earnings were over $600,000 less than they would
have been but for the above order.
Freight and passenger revenues were seriously affected by floods in New
England and the Tvlississippi valley.
Increased passenger train miles on new lines and new steam and motor
car services amounted to 879,400 train miles.
Elimination of unprofitable and unnecessary steam trains to the extent
of 194,500 train miles and the substitution of motor cars for steam services
to the extent of 163,300 train miles resulted in a saving of about S301,000 in
operating expenses.
Our revenues continue to be adversely affected by competition of water
carriers; also by motor truck and bus competition.
In order to offset competition by motor trucks and parcel post, a decrease
in express rates on parcels weighing 15 pounds and less was put into effect
on January 1, 1928.
Finance
In the Appropriation Act for 1927 $22,500,000 was voted for Canadian
National purposes covering the nine months' period to December 31, 1927.
As of July 1, 1927, an issue of $65,000,000 4^ per cent Thirty- Year Guaran-
teed Gold Bonds was made for the following purposes: —
Refunding Three Year Guarantee Gold Notes, due July 1, 1927 $20, 000, 000
Funding a temporary loan made in connection with the 1926-27 Budget re-
quirements 15, 000, 000
Various expenditures under the above mentioned nine months' Budget 16, 600, 000
Expenditures for branch line construction and the Toronto Viaduct scheme. 13, 400, 000
865,000,000
The balance of the requirements under the nine months' Budget will be
provided from an issue of securities to be made during 1928.
As of May 1, 1927, an issue was made of $15,000,000 of 4^ per cent Equip-
ment Trust Certificates, Series "J", in connection with new equipment costing
over $20,000,000.

On November 15 last a Scheme of Arrangement and Compromise was
approved at a meeting held in London, England, of the holders of the Canadian
Northern Railway Company 5 per cent Income Charge Convertible Debenture
Stock, under which, subject to ratification by the Parliament of Canada, pay-
ment of the stock will be made on ]\Iay 6, 1928, at 94 per cent of the par value.
An act ratifying the scheme has been passed by the Parliament of Canada.
Construction
During the year 88 miles of line were graded in Saskatchewan and 43
miles in Alberta, in addition to which some track laying was completed as well
as ballasting, fencing, telegraph facilities and buildings.
In the province of Quebec the St. Felicien to Mistassini line, 26-6 miles,
was practically speaking completed and was opened for traffic in November.
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS 5
Hudson Bay Line
On behalf of the Government considerable work towards rehabilitatmg
this line was undertaken and preparations were started for the continuation
of the line to Fort Churchill.
Manitoba
Arrangements with the province of Manitoba were made under which a
line about 88 miles in length will be constructed by the Manitoba Northern
Railway Company from the Hudson Bay line to the Flin Floo Mines, which
are controlled and will, it is expected, be developed by United States interests,
as a result of which there should be opened up a new mining district which
promises to afford substantial traffic.
The bonds of the Manitoba Company will be guaranteed by the Canadian
National Railway Company, which will in consideration of such guarantee
obtain the capital stock of the Manitoba Company and thus control it.
Wage Adjustments
Increases in pay were granted during the year to practically all classes of
employees. Satisfactory agreements were reached by friendly negotiations.
Boards of conciliation were applied for in two instances. These increases and
other adjustments showed an operating payroll increase of about $3,771,0C0.
Hotel Department
The gross revenues amounted to about $2,573,000, an increase of about.
$278,000 over 1926; with a reduction in operating losses to about $15,000,
as compared with a loss of $35,000 for 1926. Over $211,000 of special mainten-
ance expenses were charged against operating account as compared with about
$165,000 so charged in 1926.
The capacity of Jasper Park Lodge was increased. It is proposed to
increase the accommodation of Pictou Lodge during the present year.
Our operation of the Highland Inn and of Nominigan and Minesing Camps
will be discontinued this year.
The extension to the Chateau Laurier is well under way. The operating
profits from this hotel show an appreciable increase as compared with those
of the previous year.
Terminals
An arrangement was made with the city of Vancouver under which a
settlement was reached covering various long outstanding matters in connection
with the developments and expenditures required under the agreement made
in 1910. This included the construction of a first class hotel, work on which
will be started during the present year.
After prolonged investigation plans have been prepared for central terminal
facilities in the city of Montreal. These plans if carried out will result in the
consolidation of the passenger train services now operated into and out of the
Bonaventure, the Tunnel, the IMoreau Street and the Montreal and Southern
Counties Stations. Until the suggestions have been approved l)y the city of
Montreal, the Harbour Commissioners, the Board of Railway Commissioners
and the Dominion Parliament, nothing in this respect can be considered as final.
Substantial progress was made during the year in connection with the
Toronto Viaduct scheme. In August the New Union Station was opened by
the Prince of Wales accompanied by Premier Baldwin. On account of the
magnitude of the work involved and the necessity for settlement by way of
6 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
arbitration or otherwise in regard to the acquisition of certain properties con-
siderable work still remains to be done before the permanent trackage, can be
completed; but in the meantime the passenger tracks on the ground level,
extended and rearranged, are still in use.
Industrial Department
During the year just passed, 456 new manufacturing establishments of
various sorts were located on the lines of this railway in Canada, involving a
capital expenditure of $44,213,030, and 103 concerns already located on our
lines in Canada made additions to their plants at an estimated expenditure
of $29,000,000. This is indicative of a healthy business condition and also
affords ample justification for the establishment of the Industrial Department,
the activities of which contributed much towards the location of the various
enterprises on the lines of the railway.
Central Vermont
In November very serious floods occurred in the New England States and
the Eastern Townships, resulting in a partial tie-up in train movements and
a loss in earnings resulting from traffic having to be detoured over foreign lines.
In this connection arrangements were made to broadcast daily from Ottawa
various news bulletins and reports of relief measures undertaken. This service
was much appreciated by the people affected by the floods.
The damage to the Central Vermont properties was so great that in order
to enable the raising of the moneys required to rehabilitate the line an application
was made to the United States courts by the Canadian National Railway's for
the appointment of receivers for the Central Vermont System. The reasons
for this application were so obvious that it was immediately granted by the
appomtment of Messrs. George A. Gaston and John W. Redmond as receivers.
It was made in order to enable the Central Vermont to obtain advances (and
give security therefor) to provide the funds required to restore its line to working
conditions. The rehabilitation was undertaken without delay and has been
carried on in the face of great difficulties, with the result that on February 4,
1928, the line was reopened as far as White River Junction.
Satisfactorj^ arrangements have been made for the sale of Receivers' Certi-
ficates up to not exceeding $5,000,000; also for the payment at par and accrued
interest of Central "S^ermont bonds in New York on demand of the holders.
These bonds mature in 1930. They were guaranteed by the Grand Trunk
Railway Company, whose liability to pay is now that of its successor, the Cana-
dian National Railway Company.
The receivership and the various matters ensuing therefrom have been of
an amicable character. It may safely be said that a most friendl}- relationship
exists between the Central Vermont and the Canadian National Railways on
the one hand and the people of the state on the other.
RouYN Line
As of December 23, 1927, an issue of $3,396,000 of National Transcontinental
Railway Branch Lines Company First INIortgage 4^ per cent Thirty-Year
Sinking Fund Gold Bonds dated October 1, 1925, was made for the purpose of
funding loans obtained for the construction of that company's line from Rouyn
to Taschereau, a distance of about forty-five miles.
West Indies Trade Agreement
During the year contracts were placed by the Canadian National (West
Indies) Steamships, Limited, for the construction of five twin screw, steam
tur})ine vessels required for the services under the above agreement. All these
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS 7
vessels will be approximately 430 feet long and 60 feet wide. It is expected
that three of them will be in commission before the end of 1928 and will be
operated all the year round from Saint John and Halifax to Bermuda and the
Windward Islands as far south as Demerara. They will have accommodation
for 103 first class passengers and 132 second and third class; and cargo capacity
of about 283,000 cubic feet, deadweight tonnage 6,400 each.
The remaining two vessels will be operated to Bermuda, Nassau and Jamaica,
in summer from Montreal, in winter from Saint John and Halifax. They should
be available for service at the commencement of the 1929 St. Lawrence navi-
gation season. They will have accommodation for 103 first class passengers
and for 243,000 cubic feet of cargo, mostly bananas; deadweight tonnage 4,400
each.
COLONI/ATION
In territory tributary to our lines about 190,000 acres of new land were
broken in Saskatchewan and about 410,000 in Alberta. These lands should
produce crops this year. 38,685 European settlers were brought out under
our auspices in 1927 as compared with 31,536 in the previous year. About
9,000 were British. The balance came from other European countries.
Our work in connection with immigration has been considerably extended
during the year and satisfactory relations with the Dominion and provincial
Governments have been maintained.
Valuable work has been done by our station agents at many points in the
western provinces in developing farm help applications and in meeting and
directing newcomers. Their co-operation and assistance is much appreciated.
The Department of National Resources has been active in every province,
more particularly in the Maritime Provinces, as a result of which much new
development is under wa}'.
Land Sales
Seventy-four thousand two hundred and sixty-seven acres of land were
sold during the year for S994,231, representing an average price of $13.39, as
compared with 115,445 acres sold in 1926 for $1,697,327, representing $14.70
per acre. Cancellations of purchase contracts covered 20,797 acres in 1927
and 94,006 acres in 1926. As a result of the marked decrease in cancellations
it will be seen that the net increase in land sales during the vear amounted to
32,031 acres.
Telegraph Matters
The operations under this heading show continued expansion and progress
during the year. Our advocacy of the use of telegrams for ordinary business
made it necessary to materially increase our facilities in order to handle growing
business.
Improved automatic equipment have been installed on the following
circuits: Toronto — Hamilton — Buffalo; Toronto — Montreal — Ottawa; also Win-
nipeg— Edmonton — Saskatoon.
The carrier current system, by which a number of messages may be trans-
mitted simultaneously on one circuit is now in operation between Montreal
and Toronto and between Toronto and Winnipeg. This system has substan-
tially increased traffic owing to its reliability through not being affected by earth
currents. It has enabled the Canadian National private long distance telephone
system to be extended from the East to Winnipeg. Telephone and telegraph
services can be carried on simultaneously, without interference of one with
the other.
The net income from telegraph service increased from $241,249 in 1926
to $403,967 in 1927.
8 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Insurance
The Insurance Reserve applicable to Canadian Government Merchant
Marine has been transferred to the separate balance sheet of that company.
The Canadian National Railways' Insurance Reserve increased during the
year by $1,285,421 and at the end of the year stood at $7,494,400. The losses
on propertj^ insured in the Railway Fund during the year were $556,000. There
was no large fire loss.
PUECHASING AND StORES DEPARTMENTS
At the end of the year there was some increase of coal in stock as compared
with the corresponding amount in December, 1926. This was due to an extra
supply having been put in to provide for possible emergencies resulting from
the strike in the Pittsburgh and Ohio districts. This strike made it necessary
for our mines in Ohio to be closed down and forced us to get our American coal
largely from other fields. Our purchases of coal from Canadian mines during
the year were nearly the highest on record. It is expected that imports of
American coal will be very materialb^ reduced in 1928. The stocks of general
stores showed a substantial reduction during the j^ear. There is no present
indication of an^^ great variation from last year in the price of railway materials.
Pension
The following emploj^ees, with fifty or more years of service, were placed
on pension during the year, and their records furnish a fine testimonial to the
fidelity and loyalty with w4iich they have served the company for more than
half a century. The best wishes of the management are extended to them
for a long and well-merited period of retirement:

deserve honourable mention for life-saving acts and efforts: —

Halifax Hotel
In 1926 a plan, which had been privately promoted for the erection of a
modern hotel at Halifax, was presented to the Board of Directors for con-
sideration. The plan was found to be unsatisfactory in its method of finance
and was rejected. The need of more modern hotel facilities at Halifax was,
however, apparent to the board, and it was recognized that, with the estal^lish-
ment in the winter of 1928-1929 of the new and important services of the
Canadian National Steamships between Halifax and the West Indies, this
need would become still more pressing. Protracted negotiations ensued between
Halifax financiers and the National Railways in an effort to arrive at a satis-
'ftctory plan wlierel^y such railways might participate in the promoters' under-
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS 9
taking, although the incKnation of the board was that the National Railways
should itself construct and own a hotel at Halifax. After these negotiations
had been in progress for some time the Canadian Pacific Railwaj^ was invited
by the promoters to participate in their enterprise, but no decision was reached
by the board of that companj^ until September 26, 1927, when it decided to
take up $350,000 of the preferred stock in such enterprise. On July 14, 1927 —
more than two months prior to this action by the Canadian Pacific — Col. J. L.
Ralston, Minister of National Defence, had announced that the possibility
of the Canadian National Railways participating financially in the buildmg
of a hotel by Halifax promoters had been considered b^' the Cabinet and that
approval would not, without the direct authority of Parliament, be forthcoming
for the purchase by the National Railwaj^s of minority shares in a privatety
financed hotel.
On July 20, 1927, the National Railwaj^s announced that an appropriate
amount for the provision of hotel facilities at Halifax would be included in its
annual Budget to be submitted to Parliament. On September 23, 1927, further
representations that the National Railways should purchase preferred shares
in the privately promoted Halifax hotel were considered by the Cabinet; and
Colonel Ralston immediately notified the president of the hotel company that
the Cabinet had adhered to the decision reached on July 14 and emphasized
the announcement of the intention of the National Railways management
to include in the 1928 Budget a railway terminal hotel at Halifax. The decision
of the Canadian Pacific to take up the preferred stock of the hotel company
was made by the Executive Committee of that railway company three days
later.
The site for the nev/ combined station and hotel of the National Railways
at Halifax, upon which foundation work is proceeding, is admirablj^ situated
to serve the transportation needs of the community being on the ocean terminals,
and immediately adjoining the present station of the National System. Ample
land was available without additional cost. The hotel is to have one hundred
and sixty rooms with an ultimate capacity of three hundred rooms. Authority
is asked hi the railway estimates for the expenditure of $1,250,000. The board
believes that it has acted with wisdom and has followed that course which was
essential for the protection of the interests of the National Railways.
Executive Committee
On June 30 approval by Order in Council was given to the appointment
of an Executive Committee consisting of six directors. This committee usually
meets weekly except in a week when a meeting of the directors is held, and its
existence has facilitated directoral functions.
Genekal
The results for the year testify to the contmued healtlw economic condition
of the country and are mdicative of continued and improving opportunities
for the investment of capital and settlement. No country offers more attractive
field for hands and brains than the Dominion.
In closing this report the board again desires to express to all officers and
employees its gratitude for the fine spirit and enthusiasm which has characterized
the service of all in the employ of the company.

Chairman and President.

J. M. ROSEVEAR,
General Comptroller.
We have examined the books and records of the companies comprising the Canadian National Rail-
way System for the twelve months ended December 31, 1927. The investments in Road and Equipment
appearing in the books of the companies as at January 1, 1923, were accepted by us.
We certify that, in our opinion, the above Consolidated Balance Sheet is properly drawn up so as to
exhibit a true and correct view of the affairs of the system as at December 31, 1927, and we further certify
that, in our opinion, the attched Income and Profit and Loss Accounts for the year ended December 31,
1927, are correctly stated.

STATEMENT OF THE REVENUES AND EXPENSES (AND CERTAIN
STATISTICS) RE EASTERN LINES
As defined in the Maritime Freight Rates Act, 1927
For the Six Months ending December 31, 1927
The Maritime Freight Rates Act, 1927, is chapter 44 of the Statutes of
Canada for 1927.
Section 6 of the Act is as follows: — ■
"For accounting purposes, but without affecting the management and operation of
any of the Eastern Lines, the revenues and expenses of the Eastern Lines (including the
reductions herein authorized which shall be borne by the Eastern Lines) shall be kept separ-
ately from all other accounts respecting the construction, operation and management of
the Canadian National Railwaj^s. In the event of any deficit occurring in any railway
fiscal year in respect of the Eastern Lines the amount of such deficit shall be included in a
separate item in the estimates submitted to Parliament for or on behalf of the Canadian
National Railways at the first session of Parhament following the close of such fiscal year."
The Act became effective as of July 1, 1927. For that reason the com-
parative earnings shown in this statement cover the six months' periods in
the years 1926 and 1927 from July 1 to December 31 in each year.
1927 1926
Revenue 112,128,570 21 $12,811,17100 Dec. $683,600 79
Expenses 14,713,852 43 14,231,983 11 Ino. 481,869 32
Net earnings $2,585,282 22 $1,420,812 11 $1,164,470 11
Operating ratio 121-32% 111-09%
The above figures include actual receipts only.
But for the "20 per cent" reduction in freight rates the above 1927 revenue
figure would have been increased by approximately $931,809.89, with the result
that the deficit in net earnings would have been reduced by this amount to
$1,653,472.33, so that for the six months' period the 1927 deficit would have
exceeded the 1926 deficit by $232,660.22 only.
In the following pages are shown the Income Statement and Profit and
Loss Account; also particalars of operating revenues and expenses; also of certain
statistics and of the lines of railway forming the Eastern Lines.

results of the working of such lines, as authorized by the Maritime Freight Rates Act. 1927.

84 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
REPORT OF
THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Sir, — I have the honour to submit my annual report for the fiscal year
endmg March 31, 1928.
The canal sj^stem of Canada comprises a series of canals and canalized
waters bj^ which a total waterway of 1,831 miles has been opened to navigation
These canals may be considered under two main classes : the through St. Lawrence
and Great Lakes route and the subsidiarj' canals or branches. B}^ the former,
communication with seaports is made possible for vessels of not more than
14 ft. draught which navigate the Great Lakes. The latter or branch system
of canals serves for the most part the requirements of a merely local traffic.
The through water route between JMontreal, at the head of ocean navigation,
and Fort Wilham, and Port Arthur, on the west shore of lake Superior, comprises
74 miles of canal, with forty-rine locks and 1,140 miles of river and lake waters,
or a total of 1,214 miles. The minimum depth of water on this route, at normal
low water level, is 14 feet. From JMontreal to Duluth, at the southwest end
of lake Superior, the total distance is 1,337 miles, and to Chicago 1,244 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 National Rail-
ways is made by the branch line originally constructed by the Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway, but now operated by the Canadian National Railways. At
Port Arthur, the Canadian National Railways have an additional connection
with points west and south via the old main line of the Canadian Northern
Railway.
A full statement of the various canals and canalized waters now in operation,
with their mileage, limiting dimensions, etc., is the subject of a separate depart-
m.ental publication. "The Canals of Canada". A summary of this data is,
however, appended to this report.
In the detailed report which follows, the various canal systems, etc., are
taken up in the following order: —
1. The present St. Lawrence and Great Lakes route between Montreal
and Lake Superior, including the Lachine, the Soulanges, the Cornwall,
the Farran's Point, the Rapide Plat, the Galops, the Welland, the
Welland Ship, and the Sault Ste. Marie canals.
2. The route from Montreal to Kingston via the Ottawa and Rideau rivers,
including the Ste. Anne lock, the Carillon and Grenville and the Rideau
canals.
3. The navigation of the Richelieu river from its junction with the St.
Lawrence at Sorel to lake Champlain, including the St. Ours lock
and the C'hambly canal.
4. The route from lake Ontario to Georgian bay via the Trent river, in-
cluding the Murray and both divisions of the Trent canal.
5. The St. Peters canal acro.ss the isthmus at the southerly end of Cape
Breton island connecting the Bras d'Or lakes with the Atlantic ocean.
C. Miscellaneous works.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 85
1. THE ST. LAWRENCE AND GREAT LAKES ROUTE
(a) Lachine Canal
This canal, which Hes across the southeasterly portion of the island of
Montreal, overcomes the Lachine rapids, between the harbour of Montreal
and lake St. Louis, It is 8| miles long and has five locks with a minimum depth,
at norma' low water level, of 14 feet.
Navigation opened April 25 and closed December 12.
There were only two accidents of importance which occurred in the navi-
gation of the canal during the year. On September 3 the ss. Manon L., of the
St. Lawrence Navigation Limited, in entering north lock 1 collided with the
gates both of which were displaced and badly damaged. The further operation
of this lock was delayed for three days. Navigation, hovvever, was carried on
without interruption through the south lock. All expenses in connection with
this accident were defrayed by the owners of the vessel. On November 18,
the yacht Vidor, downbound, struck and dam.aged the lower chord of "Black's
Bridge". A delay to navigation of about twenty-four hours resulted. The
bridge was repaired at the cost of the owners of the yacht.
Among the more important works of construction and maintenance attended
to during the year the following may be noted: —
An emergency gate, 49 feet long by 20 feet 3 inches wide to be laid flat
on the canal nottom immediately above lock 5, was constructed in the canal
shops and transported to the site.
In connection with the new power-house, to be constructed at Cote St.
Paul, a few preliminary operations were carried out. It is intended to continue
this work earty next season.
A heating system to serve ^the various buildings in the Mill Street yard
was installed with a boiler located in a new concrete building at the south end
of the new storehouse. Pipes have been laid to steam radiators in the new and
old stores and in the machine shop, garage and oil house.
Along the four walls of north and south locks 2, four strips of concrete
pavement 10 feet in width have been laid, an area of 8,000 square feet being
covered.
New wooden floors were laid at Black's, Wellington, Seigneurs and Atwater
bridges, on the roller bridge at the St. Paul Land and Hydraulic Company's
basin and at the Rockfield bascule. Black's and Charlevoix bridges were
sandblasted and painted. The usual temporary pontoon bridge was constructed
across the upper end of Basin No. 2 for use during the extra-navigation season.
The wooden frames around eight of the sixteen openings of one of the
Lachine weirs were renewed as well as the flooring over the head race of the
weir at St. Gabriel lock.
Canal side walls were underpinned with dry masonry at three points —
350 feet on the north side below lock 5, 90 feet on the north side at McCord
street and 50 feet on the south wall of north Basin No. 1, below lock 2. Con-
crete underpinning was done along 731 feet of the south wall opposite the property
of Crane Limited and a short distance below lock 4, and 20 feet of the south wall
was rebuilt in dry masonry. Along the south side of the canal near the Canadian
Pacific Railwaj' bridge at Rockfield, for a distance of about 400 feet, all pro-
truding points of rock were blasted off so that vessels can now safely pass this
point without scraping.
The brick pavement on the wharf on the north side of Basin No. 2 was
relaid, about 220 square yards being thus improved. Eighteen wooden snubbing
posts were replaced by cast iron on the wing dam at Lachine. A new boom,
500 feet in length, was constructed and anchored along the south wall of the
upper entrance.
86 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Extensive repairs were made to the St. Patrick street pavement west of
Cote St. Paul lock. The pipe railing on the north side of this street was replaced
by a concrete wall.
The bed of the river St. Pierre was cleaned out during the summer between
^'ille St. Pierre and the siphon culvert and a large quantity of debris removed
from the culvert outlet.
The floating plant, consisting of tag Dandy, dipper dredge No. 2, clam der-
rick No. 2, three dump scows, six flat scows, one coal scow, one sounding scow
and six row boats, underwent the usual repairs while wintering in the jMontreal
Dr}' Dock and in Basin No. 2. The new hull for the tug Dandy, begun during
the previous year, was completed and launched last August. Early in the
season the basin opposite the terminal warehouse, as well as Basin No. 2, was
thoroughly dredged out, about 1,680 cubic yards being removed from the two
areas. 560 cubic yards was also dredged out in St. Gabriel Basin No. 4 and
2,600 cubic yards of hardpan removed from the canal bottom above Wellington
bridge.
(6) SouLANGEs Canal
The entrance to this canal lies 16 miles west — or up-stream, of the upper end
of the Lachine canal. The canal is 14 miles in length, has five locks, with a
minimum depth of 15 feet, and extends from Cascades Point to Coteau Landing,
overcoming the Cascades, Cedars, and Coteau rapids.
Navigation opened April 24 and closed December 10.
No accidents or delays to navigation occurred during the entire season of
navigation.
Repairs and improvements carried out daring the 3'ear mcluded the following : —
Four lock gates were replaced. The lower sill of lock 2 was renewed. The
space between the lock wall and grass plot at locks 4 and 5 and at the guard
lock was paved in concrete, a total area of 2,040 square yards being thus treated.
At the guard gate a semaphore was installed .to indicate to eastbound vessels
the condition at lock 4.
The pivot of bridge 2 was replaced and all bearing rollers and tracks were
renewed. Bridge 3 received a coat of metalastic paint and at bridge 4 about
forty-four of the bearing rollers and tracks were partly renewed.
At the upper and lower entrance walls, decayed and crushed rubbing fenders
were replaced. A stone-filled crib, 12 feet by 20 feet, was added to the north
face of the quarr)^ w^harf at Cascades Point. The canal banks were reinforced
with about 1,400 cubic j^ards of riprap.
The operations at the quarry at Cascades Point for the year covered the
supply of 1,483 cubic yards of one-man stone, 3,273 cubic yards of crushed
stone, 505 cubic j'ards of screenings and 1,152 cubic 3'ards of smaller screenings
and sand. About half of the total output of the quarry was made use of at
Baker's dam, at the Ste. Anne lock and on the Lachine canal.
The road on the north side of the canal between locks 1 and 3 was paved
witli watered macadam. The road on the south side, from lock 3 to the quarry
was paved with asphalted macadam. Other roads in the vicinity of the canal
were rolled and put in good condition.
About 150 rods of fencing between the canal and Quinlan properties was
renewed with steel posts and woven wire, and along the line of the Bermingham
property the fence was reljuilt with old material. From the canal superintend-
ent's house westward, the fencing was renewed for a length of about 240 rods.
General repairs were made to the superintendent's lodging, to stores, shops
and various other buildings and the travelling crane was extended on both sides
of tlie gate mill.
Tiie various units of tlie dredging fleet underwent the usual general repairs.
Scow No. 2 was totally rebuilt. The steam derrick was engaged during part of
August and September in cleaning the canal bottom in the vicinity of the
guard gate.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 87
(c) Cornwall Canal
This canal, the foot of which lies at the westerly or upstream end of lake
St. Francis, 31 miles from the head of the Soulanges canal, is llj miles long,
with six locks and a minimum depth of 14 feet. It surmounts the Long Sault
rapids.
Navigation opened April 23 and closed December 10. The canal was
opened again for the passage of the steamer John Gehvi on December 14 to
enal)le the owners to take the vessel to Buffalo for the winter. No serious
delays to navigation occurred during the entire season. On one occasion, how-
ever, traffic was delayed for 10 hours when, on IMay 30, the steamer Canmore,
collided with the lower south gate, breaking the anchor pin and carrying the
gate out of the hollow quoin. The cost of tbe necessary repairs was met by the
owners of the vessel, the Canada Steamships, Limited.
Traffic during the 1927 season, both as to number of vessels and tonnage
carried, was the heaviest ever recorded.
Of repairs and improvements effected or in progress during the past year,
the more extensive were as follows: —
Under contract with R. C. Sutherland, of Ottawa, the southeast masonry
retaining wall of the Cornwall swing bridge, 238 feet in length, which had
moved out into the canal about seven feet in April, 1926, was taken down and
rebuilt in a heavier section. The portion of the wall below the water line was
reconstructed in concrete; the upper portion was laid in stone masonry as be-
fore, so that the new wall, while of largely increased stability, retains the ap-
pearance of the old. This work, commenced in January, 1927, was fully com-
pleted the following June.
To provide for vessels of greater draught the old canal, which forms the
entrance to the repairing basin, was dredged over its entire length of 1,225 feet
and for a width of 60 feet. The presence of a brick sewer, which passes under
this section of the canal, rendered it impossible to carry this dredging to a
greater depth than 13 feet. The repairing basin, which during the winter is
filled with steam vessels and other floating plant, is utilized for extensive repairs.
During the past season, sixteen vessels, in addition to the canal floating plant,
were accommodated for this purpose.
To provide better facilities for vessels docking at the Mille Roches wharf,
a channel 450 feet long and 100 feet wide was dredged through the old south
canal bank a little above the Mille Roches bridge.
The timber crib work surrounding the Hamilton Island light in the river
St. Lawrence, which was badly decayed and broken down by ice, was removed
to low water level and rebuilt in concrete and the inner area filled to coping
level with broken stone.
Smaller improvements carried out included the placing of new sills and
floors at the lock houses of locks 18, 19 and 20, at the bridge house at Mille
Roches and at the store-houses at locks 18 and 21, the provision of a temporary
transformer house at lock 20 to replace the previous building destroyed by fire
in November last, the construction of a new ice house, the rebuilding in concrete
of a short section of the government sewer opposite the repairing basin, re-
placement of stoplogs, repairs to lock gates, booms, etc., relaying of stone pro-
tection along canal banks and other lesser undertakings.
(d) Farran's Point Canal
This canal, together with the Rapide Plat and Galops canals, which succeed
it up-stream, form the group known as the "Williamsburg canals." The length
of the Farran's Point canal is 1| miles. It has one lock and is situated 5 miles
west of the Cornwall canal.
The season of navigation extended from April 25 till December 10, and no
serious delays were occasioned either through accident or other cause.
88 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
The substitution of electric for acetylene lighting was taken in hand last
season, and it is expected that the new sj^stem will be fully installed and ready
for operation at the opening of this year's navigation. The work has been
carried out under contract with the St.' Lawrence Power Company of Cornwall,
and comprises the erection of a transmission line over the entire length of the
canal with a capacity of forty 100-watt lamps, all materials supplied remaining
the property of the department. The form^er acetylene Hghting system had
been in use for twenty-four years and was in need of extensive repairs.
(e) Rapide Plat Canal
This canal extends from the town of Morrisburg to Flag's bay, a distance
of 3f miles. It is situated 9| miles above the Farran's Point canal and has
two locks. _ •
Navigation opened April 25 and closed December 10. No accidents or
delays occurred during this period.
Improvements carried out included the erection of a doul)le garage near
the canal shops, the rebuilding in timber above the water line of about 100 feet
of the old governm^ent wharf at the foot of old lock 23, the relaying and patch-
ing of about 6,000 feet of stone protection along the canal banks and a few other
smaller undertakings.
(f) Galops Canal
Situated about 4^ miles west of the Rapide Plat canal, the Galops canal
extends from the village of Iroquois to a point about 1^ miles above the town
of Cardinal, a distance of 7| miles. It surmounts the last series of rapids met
with between Montreal and lake Ontario, and has three locks, a lift lock at the
easterly entrance, a guard lock at the upper entrance and a lift lock beside the
guard lock for overcoming the Galops rapids only.
This canal was opened to navigation on April 25 and closed December 10.
It was operated without accident or delay to vessels during the entire season.
Of improvements effected during the past year msiy be mentioned the
deepening by dredging of the lower entrance to lock 28, the relaying and lining
up of about 14,000 lineal feet of stone protection along the canal banks, the
laying of new floors on the swing bridges at Iroquois and Cardinal, the installa-
tion of a furnace in the bridge-master's house at Cardinal, the replacement of
the lower gates at lock 27 and various other smaller undertakings.
(g) Welland Canal
This canal, which overcomes the falls of the Niagara river, lies between
Port Dalhousie on lake Ontario and Port Colborne, on lake Erie. It is 26f
miles long, has twenty-six locks and, under usual water conditions, provides,
hke the St. Lawrence system of canals. 14 feet of water on lock sills.
Navigation in the past fiscal year opened April 18 and closed December 16.
An increase in traffic, amounting to 38-2 per cent over the figures of the
previous year, was recorded. A total of 7,654 vessels passed through the
whole canal, the upbound and downbound passages being nearly balanced.
In addition to the foregoing, 620 trips were made )jy vessels to intermediate
points. The largest upbound cargo to pass through the canal was a shipment
of approximately 3,054 tons of pulpwood carried by the steamer Kingdoc.
The steamer J. H. Price carried the heaviest downhound cargo, a shipment of
99,052 bushels of wheat, or 2,972 tons. During the season a total of 7,247,459
tons was transported through the canal, an increase of about 39 per cent over
the previous year's record and of 22 per cent over the 1925 record, which had
previously been the highest in the history of the canal. Wheat shipments
for the season totalled 3,614,609 bushels, an increase of 54 per cent over the
year before; oat shipments, however, were about 55 per cent less than for the
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 89
previous season. At manj^ times during the season the canal was operated
to maximum capacity. On June 2, during a period of 24 hours, forty-seven
vessels passed through lock 7 exceeding all previous records for this lock.
Three accidents only, and these of a minor nature, occurred during the
navigation period. On June 24, at lock 2 during the locking through of the
steamer Cedarton, failure to properly close and mitre the upper gates caused
the vessel to surge ahead damaging the gates below. A delay of 21 hours
resulted while the damaged gates were replaced. On July 21, the steamer
Waterloo damaged one of the gates at lock 20 causing a delay of 17 hours. The
steel tug Ballenas on October 12, in attempting to pass through the blind channel
east of the new highway bridge at Queenston Street, St. Catharines, damaged
a portion of the bracketed sidewalk of the bridge and carried away the electric
cables supplying power to the bridge. A delay of one hour only ensued.
Of the various improvements carried out during the year the following
may be noted: —
The approaches to the Queenston Street bridge at St. Catharines were
improved hj the resurfacing of the macadam roadway in bituminous macadam,
the work being carried out under contract with Roy Honsberger.
In December, 1927, a contract was let to the Standard Steel Construction
Company Limited of Welland for the erection of a 115-foot through steel truss
over the entrance to lock 1 weir at Port Dalhousie to replace the present wooden
highway bridge. Alterations to the masonry have already been made by the
department and it is expected that the erection of the steel will be completed
early in the coming fiscal year.
Along the summit level of the canal, between Marlatt's bridge and Welland,
stone protection was laid, under contract with A. E. Rigby & Son, to counteract
the somewhat serious effects of erosion which has been taking place at various
points.
A steel pontoon gate lifter has been manufactured under contract with
the Collingwood Shipyards Limited and an early delivery is expected.
Of minor improvements and repairs made during the year may be mentioned
the repairing and rebuilding of the masonry retaining wall below the lock 1
weir at Port Dalhousie, the closing of a leak under the westerh^ wall at the
head of lock 24 and the replanking of the floor of the Port Robinson bridge.
Gld Canal. — On the old canal the mitering gates at the upper ends of locks 6,
7, 8 and 9 were replaced by gate bars of timber and reinforced concrete, the
wooden flooring of the spillway between the two regulating weirs at lock 2
was replaced by reinforced concrete and various other minor repairs were
attended to.
Canal Feeder.- — -A concrete sidewalk was laid along the easterly side of
the dam at Dunnville replacing the former wooden walk, and at No. 1 weir
at Dunnville a quantity of large stone was placed below the apron as a protection
against scour. The freshet on the Grand river in the spring of the present
year occasioned no damage to any canal works.
Port Colborne Elevator.— 'During the past fiscal year the government elevator
received 77,621,713 bushels of grain, an increase over the record of the previous
year of 15,086,111 bushels, which established the highest record in the history
of the elevator. Of the total grain received, 60 per cent was from Canadian
ports and 40 per cent from United States ports. The largest receipts of grain
during the navigation season for a 31-day period (September 19 to October 19,
1927) were 16,177,000 bushels, an amount 1,000,000 bushels in excess of any
previous monthly record.
The record of outturn from the elevator for the year, or the amount of
grain leaving the elevator as compared with that received, showed an average
loss in handling of only 0-099 per cent.
90 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
A total of 54 accidents occurred among members of the elevator staff
but of these none were serious and in only 14 cases was loss of time involved.
No serious delays due to breakdown, labour trouble or other cause occurred
during the year. A break in a power cable in February last caused a stoppage
in operation of five days; this however had no serious effect as very few orders
were waiting to be filled at the time.
Delays to vessels were greater than had been experienced since 1924. Of
a total of 329 vessels luiloaded and lightered, 60 per cent were held up beyond
24 hours, the greater number of such delays occurring between the opening
of navigation and the middle of June. During the remainder of the season
a better condition prevailed. Delays may be ascribed both to lack of docking
space and to insufficient handling capacity in the elevator.
Owing to its limited capacity for handling and storage, a considerable
quantity of grain is every year diverted from this elevator to other grain receiving
depots. Manj' cargoes, originally routed to Port Colborne, are diverted to
other ports on the way when it becomes evident that congestion at the elevator
will give rise to undue delays in unloading.
While the amount of grain carried over into winter storage was slightly
less than for the previous year, the revenue derived from winter operation
continues to be highly gratifying.
The new two-storey building, 30 feet by 60 feet, providing accommodation
for a work shop, blacksmith shop, plate shop, material rack, rope room, electri-
cians' and general stores and employees' rest rooms, the construction of which
was commenced in 1926, has now been completed and taken into general use.
(h) Welland Ship Canal
This work, which has been in progress since the latter part of the year
1913, is now well advanced. A brief summary of the general scheme involved
in the undertaking will first be presented.
The proposed ship canal leaves lake Ontario at the original mouth of Ten
Mile creek, now known as Port Weller, about 3 miles east of Port Dalhousie,
where a harbour of entry has now been constructed, and follows an entirely
different route from the present canal as far south as Allanburg. From nere
it proceeds in general along the line of the existing canal to a point about one
mile north of the village of Humberstone, where another diversion, about two
and one-half miles in length, is made to the east of the present waterway. The
route of the present canal is then followed for the final half mile to the lake
Erie entrance at Port Colborne. The total distance traversed from lake to
lake will be 25 miles. The difference in level between the two lakes, 325| feet,
will be overcome by seven lift locks, all of which are now well advanced towards
completion, each having a lift of 46| feet, and one guard lock of variable lift.
The locks are 829 feet long and 80 feet wide in the clear and will provide a depth
of 30 feet of water over the mitre sills. The width of the canal prism at bottom
is to be 200 feet. A new breakwater, now practically completed, at Port Col-
borne, extends 2,000 feet farther into the lake and at right angles to the existing
structure. At Port Weller, the lake Ontario entrance, the extensive harbour
works have now been practically completed. The route of the new canal has
been divided for purposes of construction into eight sections numbered in order
from Port Weller southerly. The entire canal is now under contract.
For the past six years work on the canal, which during the war years and
for some time after was, through many causes, greatly retarded or entirel}'' at
a standstill, has progressed in a very satisfactory manner.
Following is a brief account of the more important work carried out or still
in hand on the various sections of the canal during the year just ended.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 91
Section No. 1. — Commencing; with the harbour works of Port Weller, this
section extends in a southerly direction, a distance of nearly 3 miles, and com-
prises the harbour construction, prism excavation, one lock with weirs, two
highway bridges over the canal, etc.
When work on the present contract with Johnston P. Porter was commenced
in September, 1912, about 30 per cent of the entire undertaking still remained
unfinished. During the past two years all work on this section has been prac-
tically completed. The final dredging of Port Weller harbour included the
removal, during the 1926 season, of about 176,000 cubic yards of material.
Other work carried out in the completion of this section of the canal included
the taking up of the connection of the construction reailway with the east side
of the harbour, the levelling off of the east and west embankments, the placing
of concrete mooring posts, the completion of all concrete work at lock 1, inclu-
ding the slope protection on the east side of the lower entrance and above the
regulating weir and the construction of the control house for lock 1 regulating
weir and the intake valve house for lock 1. All the required grading, sodding
of slopes and macadamizing have now been completed with the exception of a
stretch of about 500 feet along the outer end of the west harbour wall, where
the contractor's sand piles have not yet been removed.
At lock 1 the temporary shops and buildings have been taken down. The
four steel gates are completed and can be placed in position as soon as the heel
plates on the gate leaves have been correctly aligned. The machinery for gate
operation has been manufactured and delivered by the Dominion Bridge Com-
pany and is now being installed.
Bridge 1 over the upper entrance to lock 1, begun in January, 1927, was
fully completed last November, the work being carried out by the Hamilton
Bridge Company.
The addition to the intake valve building of the upper control house at
lock 1 was completed last season and the lower control and machinery house
at the north end of the east wall of this lock was erected. The same force which
carried out this work also installed the tile conduit for the power distribution
cables in both lock walls. Work has now just been commenced on the erection
of the gate machinery house on the west wall of the lock and of the substation.
In the vicinity of lock 1 all unoccupied right-of-way has been cleaned up
and cultivated and over 100,000 seedling trees and cuttings have been planted
for future distribution along the canal zone.
All the principal items of work on this section have now been completed.
Section No. 2. — The extent of this sectfion is approximately 4| miles. The
work involved comprises the taking out of canal prism ancl construction of
embankments, the building of locks 2 and 3 with entrance walls, etc., and of
three highway bridges.
The work on this section is being prosecuted under the same contract as
that of Section 1. Under the original pre-war contract about 58 per cent of
the entire undertaking had been completed.
All concrete work, sodding and macadamizing have now been completed
at locks 2 and 3, with the exception of a small amount of grading, sodding and
macadamizing at the latter lock. This last must be held over until — it having
become possible to divert traffic to the ship canal via Port Weller — the present
canal, which crosses just south of this lock, can be abandoned.
The eight valves for lock 3 have been delivered at the site. The seals
ancl lintels for these valves have been set and grouted in.
The material for the steel gates of both locks 2 and 3 v/as received towards
the close of the 1927 season. At lock 2 both leaves of the upper and lower
gates are assembled and rivetting has been proceeding. At lock 3 the frame-
work of both upper and lower gates is erected and the sheet plating placed.
92 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
All work at bridge 3, across the head of lock 2, was completed with the
installation of the machinery and electrical equipment and the construction of
the operator's house. The work of re-conditioning the foundations of the west
main pier of bridge 4 was completed in IMay, 1927, as also the construction of
the west abutment and piers. The erection of the superstructure under con-
tract with the Hamilton Bridge Com.panj', was commenced in August. At the
present time all steel work is in place and fully ri vetted. There still remain
the placing of the concrete counterweights, the laying of the wood floor on the
movable span and the installation of the operating and electrical equipment.
It is expected that this bridge will be ready for traffic by the end of IMay.
The control and operating houses were completed last summer.
The concrete intake valve house and its control house addition, as also the
control house for the regulating weir, were completed at lock 2 during the past
year. The clay ducts in the conduit tunnels on both walls of this lock were also
completed read^^ for the installation of power cables. At lock 3 the intake
valve house and control house addition were completed.
In the completion of the canal prism between lock 2 and bridge 4, the
Queenston Road crossing, a distance of about If miles, the drainage ditch was
cleaned up and a small gap filled in the west watertight bank. The concrete
slope protection, with the exception of a few hundred feet, has all been placed.
A short distance south of bridge 4, a slide occurred in the east slope of the prism
in April, 1927, involving the movement of about 100,000 cubic yards of material.
The removal of this material was taken in hand at once and carried on until
the end of Noveml^er, when about three-quarters of the work had been com-
pleted. Extra right-of-way has been purchased and the remainder of the work
will be finished up during the coming season. On the west slope, in the same
vicinity, where similar trouble had already been experienced, a large quantity
of stone was placed for protective purposes. The prism at the south end of
the section, with the exception of the portion now occupied by the present
canal, has now been fully completed.
To summarize the progress of work on this section to date, it may be
stated that all rock excavation and work on watertight embankments has been
finished; earth excavation is 97 per cent completed and concrete work 98| per
cent.
Section N'o. 3. — This section extends southerly from Section 2 for a distance
of about 2 miles. The work involved, which since 1922 has with Section No. 4
been carried on under contract with the P. Lyall & Sons Construction Compan}^
Limited, comprises the excavation o£ canal prism and lock sites, the construc-
tion of three twin locks in flight and one single lock, together with masonry
approach walls, three bridges, a core wall for a clam, control weirs and other
minor structures and the building of a large earth dam at the head of the
flight locks.
The concrete work in twin locks 4, 5 and 6 is now 95 per cent completed.
There still remain the placing of a portion of the lower west entrance wall of
twin locks 4 and the floor slab in the lower entrance, the breast wall and gate
sill in the west chamber of locks 5 and the floor slab in the upper entrance of
the west chamber of locks 6. The backfilling of the east wall of twin lock 4
is practically complete; the backfilling of the west wall about 80 per cent. At
twin locks 6, about GO per cent of the backfilling for the west wall has been placed
At lock 7, the concrete work of the two monoliths at either side of the upper
entrance was finished last season together with the floor section and the lower
storey and su])porting pillars of the operating hou.so for bridge 7. Concrete
work at this lock is now 98 per cent completed. Along the west wall ])etween
locks 0 and 7 the l)ackfill for the northerly half has been completed and about
80 per cent of the remainder. The concrete work in the east wall between
these locks is completed, with the exception of one monolith.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 93
The side seals and lintels of the taintor valves in the centre and side walls
of twin locks 4 were installed during the past winter. The lock is now ready
for the installation of the valves.
In July, 1927, the erection was commenced of the lower 82-foot gates
for the east chamber of twin locks 5. Work was carried on until the end of
October by which time the frame work had been fully erected and the sheathing
placed and partly ri vetted.
With the completion of the bridge operator's house and the installation
of machinery and electrical equipment during the summer of 1927, all work in
connection with bridge 7 was finished and this bridge is now ready for operation.
North of twin locks 4 the backfilling of the lower east entrance wall was
completed.
At the turning basin south of bridge 8, a small amount of concrete work
was done on the west wall. No further work was carried on in the basin area.
Summarizing the work done on this section to date, it may be stated that
progress on the four principal items of work now stands as follows: Rock exca-
vation, 97 per cent; earth excavation, 82 per cent; concrete work, 93 per cent;
and watertight embankments, 74 per cent.
Section No. 4. — -The extent of this section is about 2 miles southerly from
the end of Section No. 3 or from the southerly end of the town of Thorold to
\ mile north of the northerly end of the village of Allanburg. The work involved
comprises excavation for canal prism and for foundations of guard-gates and
weir, the construction of Shriner's and Beaver Dams culverts, the relocation
of a branch of the Canadian National Railways, the construction of two bridges,
and various other lesser undertakings.
This section, as previously stated, is included with Section No. 3 under
the P. Lyall and Sons Construction Company's contract.
The contractor's attention during the past season was concentrated mainly
on excavation operations over the south end of the section. At the site of the
guard gate the super stratum of earth was removed to rock surface and in November
the removal of this underlying rock was commenced. About 70 per cent of
the total, or 12,000 cubic yards of rock, has now been excavated. In the turning
basin area, immediately north of the site of the guard lock, about 13,000 cubic
yards of rock have also been removed. The excavation of the prism southerly
from the guard lock to the end of the section, a distance of about If miles,
was resumed and carried on from May until November, the output being utilized
for watertight embankments, for the re-establishment of slopes and for back-
filling completed structures on Section No. 3.
The construction of watertight embankments along the sides of the prism
was completed by the end of August. Of this class of work, it remains only
to connect the prism embankments with the guard gate and safety weir. Prism
slopes were trimmed and have been revetted with concrete slabs for a distance
of about 4,700 feet south of the guard lock site on the west side and, on the east
bank, to the end of the section. Considerable portions of both slopes were
sodded above the protection slabs.
At the site of bridge 10, a crossing of the Canadian National Railways
about one mile south of the turning basin, excavation for the substructure
was completed and both abutments constructed and backfilled.
The progress made on the principal items of work on this section to date
may be thus summarized: Rock excavation, 84 per cent; earth excavation,
82 per cent; concrete work, 35^ per cent; watertight embankments, 96 per cent.
Section No. 4B. — ^This section, which lies immediately south of Section No. 4,
includes a stretch of canal prism one-quarter of a mile in length. It is situated
immediately north of the junction of the present canal with the route of the
ship canal near the village of Allanburg. The work to be performed consists
94 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
of prism excavation, the construction of watertight embankments, and the
building of a syphon culvert to carry the Davis creek under the canal. A
contract covering this work was let to Johnston P. Porter, July 28, 1926.
The work of excavating the prism was carried on last season between
the north end of the section and a point 1,300 feet south. All the overlying
earth was removed to rock surface and drilling and blasting carried out from
September last through the winter months. Very little rock, however, was
removed. From the material excavated, watertight embankments were con-
structed along both sides of the prism, about 44,000 cubic yards being thus
placed.
The excavation for the Da\ds culvert, begun in the previous year, was
completed. Concrete work was started at the end of June, and the entire
structure completed and backfilled by the beginning of September.
About 37 per cent of the work covered by the contract has now been com-
pleted.
Section No. 5. — This section is about 3j miles in length extending from
Allanburg to Port Robinson. The work involved comprises rock and earth
excavation and dredging, the construction of two bridges, one at Allanburg
and one at Port Robinson, and small quantities of concrete and stone protection
along the canal banks.
The work on this section has been under contract with the Canadian
Dredging Company, Limited, for the past seven years.
Since the month of March, 1925, no further work has been done on this
Section and the contractor has removed his entire plant to Section No. 7. Of
the whole work covered by the contract, only about 3 per cent still remains
unfinished. This will be completed with the removal of the swing bridges
over the present canal route at Allanburg and Port Robinson and their replace-
ment by new bridges 11 and 12.
Section No. 6. — -This section extends from a point on Section No. 5 about
one mile north of Port Robinson for a distance of approximately 5 miles southerly
to Welland. The overlap on Section No. 5 became necessary on account of
some silting which had taken place in the canal prism north of the original
northerly boundary of Section No. 6. The work to be performed includes the
dredging and enlargement of the present canal prism, the diversion of the
Welland river, which crosses the line of the canal at the north end of the town
of Welland, by means of a large syphon culvert, the construction of a highway
bridge over the Welland river at Port Robinson, the building of watertight
banks, concrete protection for slopes, etc.
A contract for the work on this section was awarded to the Atlas Con-
struction Company, Limited, and E. O. Leahev & Company, Limited, October
12, 1925.
Of Class I excavation, about 3,500 cubic yards were removed during the
year consisting mostly of old masonry taken out in the vicinity of the syphon
culvert and, to a lesser extent, of large boulders encoimtered in the construction
of the canal prism. About 38 per cent of the total rock excavation on this
section has now been completed. During the same period, about 1,715,000
cubic yards of Class II material were removed from the canal prism. Com-
mencing at a point 900 feet south of the north end of the section, where the
present canal diverges westerly from the line of the ship canal, excavation
operations have been in progress along the line of the prism to within 1,400
feet of the site of the syphon culvert, a distance of about three miles, reaching
various depths, final grade being attained in several places. Rock dams, to
allow of the unwatoring of the original AVelland river bed were also constructed
and the unwatering of this portion of the prism carried out. During the past
winter, however, through a failure of a portion of the rock ))ank, the cut again
became flooded and will require to be again unwatered ne.xt season. Operations
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 95
were carried on by means of two hydraulic dredges, dragline excavation,
revolving shovels and elevating grader units. The material removed was
utilized largely in the construction of the east watertight bank of the prism,
about 462,000 cubic j^ards being thus disposed of. In the removal of Class II
material, about 35 per cent of the total has now been completed.
Concrete protection slabs were laid on two sections of the west bank, a
total of slightly over a mile of bank being thus revetted. The sodding of the
west bank was also carried out over a considerable area. Along the Welland
river diversion about 27,000 cubic yards of stone were placed on the east and
west slopes.
All excavation on the Welland river diversion, between the site of the
syphon culvert at Welland and the junction of the diversion with the natural
course of the river at Port Robinson, has now been completed. In the carrying
out of this work about 1,046,000 cubic yards of Class II material have been
taken out.
The progress of work on the siphon culvert for the diversion of the Welland
river under the ship canal from the west to the east side has been very satis-
factory. At the beginning of April, 1927, the excavation of a portion of the
area along the north side of the total area required for the six 22-foot pipes
had been completed and a start made along the south side. During the past
year, with the exception of the portion of the pit to be occupied by the two
central tubes, all excavation work has been completed. In addition to this,
the concrete inlets and outlets for all six tubes have been constructed and four
tubes, the outer ones on either side, fully completed. The two concrete wing
walls at the intake end are also completed with the exception of a small portion
of the southwest wing wall. The concrete work still remaining to be carried
out in the completion of the structure, therefore, will consist in the construction
of the two centre tubes between the head walls, the carrying up of the east head
wall another eight feet, the building of the east wing walls and the uncompleted
portion of the southwest wing wall and. the construction of the stoplog piers
and apron at the east or discharge end of the siphon. Up to the present,
136,000 cubic yards, or about 70 per cent of the total amount of excavation
required, has been taken out, of which about 83 per cent was removed during
the past 3'ear. Of the concrete work, 71 per cent of the total has now been
completed, most of which has been placed since March, 1927. It is now an-
ticipated that the new culvert will be full}^ completed and canal traffic diverted
to the new route by the end of the coming fiscal year.
To summarize the work thus far carried out on this section, it may be
stated that rock excavation is now 38 per cent completed; earth excavation,
42 per cent; concrete work, 54 per cent; and watertight embankments, 48 per
cent.
Section No. 7. — This section, which is about 6 miles in length, extends
from the town of Welland to the northerly limits of the village of Humberstone.
The work to be performed, which since December 30, 1924, has been under
contract with the Canadian Dredging Company, Limited, includes the dredging
and enlargement of the prism of the existing canal to a point about one mile
north of the end of the section, where the new line diverges from the old, the
excavation of the new line from this point to a junction again with the present
canal, the construction of five bridges, the building of retaining and dock walls
at both ends of the section, slope protection works, etc.
At the south end ofthe section, from a point just beyond the divergence
of the new line westerly from the present canal, excavation operations were
carried on along the new prism and completed to grade elevation for a distance
of 2,150 feet. From this point southerly to the present canal the westerly
portion of the prism was excavated to within 1| foot of finished grade. These
operations represented the removal of about 245,000 cubic yards of Class I
96 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
material. Of the total rock work on this section, approximately one million
cubic yards have now been taken out, or about 64 per cent of the total estimated
quantity'. Along the line of the present canal north of the diversion, two
hydraulic dredges were continuously employed in widening and deepening
the prism. The excavation of the west slope was carried out with a drag line
excavator, the material being cast out to one or other of the dredges. The
west slope has now been fully excavated, and of the total amount of Clas^^ II
excavation required, about 80 per cent is finished. Various stretches of prism,
aggregating in all 2j miles, have now been fully completed to finished grade
and on the remaining portions to within 8| feet of the required depth. A
total of 7,823,000 cubic yards has thus far been excavated.
Along the West slope of the prism concrete and stone protection has been
placed for a length of 4f miles. Stone has been used at those places where, due
to the unstable nature of the material, it was found more suitable. The sodding
of considerable areas along the slope has also been completed.
The construction of concrete dock walls on both the east and west sides of
the cutting, at the southerly end of the section along the diverted portion of
the line where dry excavation has been in progress, was continued last season.
The west wall has now been completed from its north end for a distance of
about 5,000 feet and the east wall for about 2,000 feet. About 44,000 cubic
yards of concrete have thus been placed.
There are six bridges over the canal on this section — -numbers 13 to 18,
inclusive. After the removal of the original Welland canal bridge at Main
street, Welland to a new site, commencing in the spring of 1927 the old sub-
structure was demolished for the placing of new bridge 13. The west pier of
this bridge was constructed during the summer and the construction of the east
pier and west abutment is now in progress. Bridge 14, a vertical lift span
betvv^een steel towers, has been practically completed and will be readj^ for
operation at the opening of this year's navigation. The steel work for this
bridge was erected under contract with the Canadian Bridge Company. Bridge
15 of the ^lichigan Central Railway was reconstructed in 1910 by and at the
expense of that companj-, the Welland canal having had prior rights at this
crossing. The substructure of bridge 16 was completed last summer. The
erection of the steel work, a lift span similar to Bridge 14, by the Canadian
Bridge Company is now practically completed and it is expected that the bridge
will be read}' for operation at the commencement of the coming season of navi-
gation. Bridge 17, a single leaf rolling lift for the crossing of the Wabash
Division of the Canadian National Railways, was completed by the middle of
^lay, 1927, the substructure having been erected under contract with the
Canadian Bridge Company. The east and west abutments of bridge 18, to-
gether with the west pier, were completed last summer; the east pier will be
finished early next season.
The construction of a new roadway along the east side of the canal between
Welland and Humberstone, included in the contract of the Canadian Dredging
Company, was commenced in August, 1927. This road will form part of the
main highway between AVelland and Port Colborne. Up to the present all
subgrade excavation, together with the greater part of the ditching and lateral
and cross drains, and the placing of subgrade rock foundation has been com-
pleted, as also the placing of a considerable portioru of the surfacing material.
The full completion of this road will be taken in hand early next season.
The work thus far performed on this section may now be summarized as
follows: — Rock excavation, 64 per cent; earth excavation, 80 per cent; concrete
work, 73 per cent; concrete slope protection, 99 per cent.
Section No. 8. — This section, which extends from the north end of the village
of Humberstone to deep water in lake Erie, is about 3 miles in length. The
work to be performed consists in the excavation of a new route from the north
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 97
end of the section for a distance of about \\ miles, the dredging and enlarge-
ment of the present canal for the remainder of the route, the construction of
guard lock 8 with entrance walls, etc., the construction of three bridges, the
erection of various harbour works and numerous other minor undertakings.
The main contract for this work was let in February, 1924, to A. W. Robertson,
Limited.
All concrete work at the north end of lock 8 was completed last year. At
the south end of the lock, in which portion are included guard and service gates
and the unwatering gates, the service and unwatering gate monoliths of the
west wall were completed with the exception of seven monoliths, to within six_
feet of coping level. In the east wall the upper gate recess monoliths have'
reached an elevation 12 feet above the floor level of the lock. With the placing
of about 20,000 cubic yards at the south end, the concrete work of the entire
structure will be completed.
The construction of the inner east harbour wall south of the guard lock
was continued northerly from the point reached in the previous season's oper-
ations (about 1,000 feet south of the site of bridge 21), and completed, with the
exception of a small portion at the temporary diversion of the Canadian National
Railway, for a distance of about 1,400 feet, which included the abutments of
bridges 20 and 21. The west wall, including the abutments of bridges 20 and
21, was completed, with the exception of a portion at the temporary railway
diversion. There have been placed thus far about 197,800 cubic yards of con-
crete on the land division of this section, or about 72 per cent of the total
estimated quantity.
On the land division satisfactory progress continued in the excavation of
Class I material. Three shovels were employed at the site and just north and
south of bridges 20 and 21. The prism excavation is now completed, with the
exception of slightly over 75,000 cubic yards still to be removed at the north
end of the section and at the temporary crossing of the Canadian National
Railway between the sites of bridges 20 and 21. From the inception of the work
about 1,939,000 cubic yards of rock have been taken out, representing about
93 per cent of the entire undertaking. Of earth excavation, about 21,000
cubic yards were removed during the year, chiefly in the vicinity of the west
inner harbour wall. The total of this class of material now removed is about
96,000 cubic yards, or 88 per cent of the entire estimated quantity.
In the harbour division of the work drilling was carried on along the inner
east harbour wall on both sides of the entrance channel and for about 2,500
feet southerly on the west side. The total amount of drilling done during the
year amounted to about 162,000 lineal feet. Two dredges were employed
over a period of eight months, chiefly in rock excavation, and during this time
excavated about 361,000 cubic yards. About 70 per cent of the total rock
excavation in the harbour division has now been performed. The east half
of the channel in the lake division has now been excavated, approximately
to final grade, out to deep water in lake Erie. About 61,000 cubic yards of
rock lias been taken out, or about 30 per cent of the whole undertaking. At
the site of the new Canada Furnace Company's dock and in cleaning up in
front of the east harbour wall about 230,000 cubic yards of Class II material
have been removed, or about 80 per cent of the total of this class of excavation.
In the lake division about half of the total Class II material has now been
dredged. It is proposed during the coming season to concentrate on the west
half of both the harbour and lake divisions and with this end in view both drilling
and dredging operations have been in progress over this portitni of the work
for the last six weeks of the fiscal year. This will, it is hoped, make possible
the early operation of large vessels at the Government and Maple Leaf elevators.
During the year the nine harbour cribs for the construction of the Canada
Furnace Company's dock, built in 1926, were placed in position and rock filled.
The concrete substructure was constructed and all l^ackfilling completed. All
69416—7
98 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
work in connection with this dock was finished in November, 1927. Owing
to the new dock face being 63 feet farther east than the former one, the two
unloading gantries of the Canada Furnace Company had to be shortened by
this amount. This work was carried out by the Dominion Bridge Company
and completed by the end of October.
The concrete work of the new breakwater was completed during the summer
of 1927. All cribs had been placed and the substructure of eighteen cribs
completed in previous seasons; the substructure of the remaining three cribs
was placed last season. At the southerly end of the structure, the Department
of Marine and Fisheries have erected a reinforced concrete lighthouse. The
placing of about 125,000 cubic yards of stone on the west or seaward side of
the breakwater will fully complete this structure.
Under contract with the Hamilton Bridge Company the superstructure
of bridge 19, a single leaf bascule, across the north end of lock 8, was erected
last season and with the completion of the concrete counterweights, the electrical
equipment and the bridge operator's house this structure, with the exception
of the safety gates, which will be installed early next summer, is now complete.
A small amount of preliminary work has also been done on the superstructure
of bridge 20, for the crossing of the Canadian National Railway over the guard
lock at Port Colborne. This structure, which is to be a vertical lift span similar
to bridges 14, 16 and 17, is also under contract with the Hamilton Bridge Com-
pany.
The building for the housing of the pumping equipment on the east wall
of lock 8 was completed last year. The equipment has now all been placed
and it only remains to install the power wiring. It is expected that all work
at this power house will be completed within another month.
To summarize the work thus far performed on Section No. 8, it may be
stated that rock excavation is now 86 per cent completed; earth excavation,
86 per cent; concrete work, 78 per cent; reinforcing steel, 93 per cent and steel
sheet piling, 99 per cent.
Construction Railway. — The construction railway continued in operation
throughout the past year, but traffic was very much lighter than in the earlier
years of construction. A total of 14,741 cars was handled during the twelve
months.
Bridges. — The progress of work on the various bridges now completed or
under construction has already been noted in dealing with the sections of the
canal on which these bridges are located. When finished, the route will be
spanned by twenty bridges, one on Section No. 1, three on Section No. 2, three
on Section No. 3, two on section No. 4, two on Section No. 5, six on Section
No. 7, and three on Section No. 8. Of these, six are railway crossings, the
remaining fourteen, highway bridges. Bridges 1, 3, 7, 8, 14, 16, 17, and 19,
are now completed. Bridge 4 is well advanced and should be ready for test
operation early in the coming season. Bridges 14, 16, and 17 are all of the
vertical lift type, bridge 8, a swing span, bridges 1, 3, 7, and 19 are of the single
leaf rolling lift bascule type, and bridge 4, a double leaf rolling lift bascule.
Of the remaining bridges, contracts have not yet been let for bridges 5, 6, 9,
11, 12, 13, 18. The contract for bridge 10 has recently been awarded to the
Canadian Bridge Company and for both bridges 20 and 21 to the Hamilton
Bridge Company. Bridge 15 is the property of the .Alichigan Central Railway.
Steel Loch Gates. — A contract was awarded June 18, 1926, to the Steel
Gates Compa«y Limited for the fabrication and erection of thirty-one pairs
of steel gates for various locks. Preliminary work in connection with the
erection of these gates was begun in October 1926 and during the past year
the progress made in their construction has been satisfactory. At the present
time this contract is about 31 per cent completed. The status of this work
at various locks has already been dealt with under the different sections in
which the gates are located.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 99
Laboratory. — -During the past year 594,883f barrels of cement were received
and accepted and distributed to various parts of the canal. Tests were made of
samples taken from bins and from each car as loaded, 3,183 samples being
thus tested during the year. Tests have also been made of sand, gravel, and
crushed stone as well as compression tests of concrete. Various other materials,
such as paints, clays, anchor bolts, concrete aggregates, etc., have also been
tested.
Miscellaneous Contracts. — Of Ontario white oak for lock gates and wall
fenders 640,000 feet board measure have now been received, a remaining 12,000
feet only being required to complete requirements. Other extensive orders
of building materials include switches and equipment for bridge substations,
guide and bearing plates for emergency dam, cables and fittings for lock 1,
transmission line materials, etc.
General Summary. — For the various classes of work involved in the con-
struction of the entire canal, the estimated quantities of the principal items
of work with percentages of each now completed are as follows: — •
Rock excavation 8,750,000 cu. yds. 86 per cent.
Earth excavation 50,657,000 " 79
Watertight embankments 5,434,000 " 67 "
Concrete, all classes 3,411,000 " 88 "
Reinforcing stoel 26,000,000 pounds. 97
Steel sheet piling 37,162,000 " 87 "
(i) Sault Ste. Marie Canal
This canal provides communication between lakes Huron and Superior,
surmounting by a single lock the rapids of the St. Mary river. It is \\ mile
in length between the east and west extremities of the entrance channels and
lies entirely within Canadian territory.
The canal was opened to traffic April 12 and closed December 18, a period
of 251 days. The total registered tonnage of vessels which passed through
the lock was 4,484,724, a decrease of 10 -4 per cent from the record of the previous
year. An increase, however, in freight tonnage, amounting to 3-3 per cent,
was recorded. For the Canadian and American canals taken together, the
registered tonnage showed a decrease of 10 per cent and freight tonnage of 3
per cent. Traffic in Canadian vessels only through both canals showed a decrease
of 9 per cent in registered tonnage and 4 per cent in freight tonnage. The total
number of vessels to pass through the lock was 3,239 as compared with 3,350
during the season of 1926.
The canal was operated without accident throughout the season.
The work of renewing the top of the upper south pier, which has been
in progress for several seasons, was completed in the summer of 1927. A few
minor repairs to the concrete, now required, will be made this year.
The dredging of the harbour l^y the Department of Public Works, noted
in last year's report as then in contemplation, was taken in hand last summer.
This dredging, which will be carried down to grade of the St. Mary's river
1 -6 feet below the lower entrance grade of the canal and which will be completed
this year, will allow vessels loaded to their maximum for the river channel to
enter the Canadian canal.
A small shoal, which had accmnulated below the lock on the south side
of the canal, was removed by the canal forces.
The water elevation below the lock, which governs the depth available
in the lock for navigation, showed a marked improvement over the elevations
of the past three years, the mean depth for the lock during the 1927 season
being nearly sixteen inches greater than the average for the season of 1926.

2. OTTAWA AND RIDEAU RIVERS
1
(a) St. Anne Lock
This canal surmounts the Ste. Anne rapids between He Perrot and the
island of Montreal at the junction of lake St, Louis with the Ottawa river. It
consists of two parallel locks, the old and the new, each with a lift of 3 feet The
old lock (now disused) has a depth of only 6 feet, but in the new lock there is
9 feet of water on the sills.
Navigation opened April 25 and closed November 30. There were no
accidents or delays to traffic during this period.
Of repairs and improvements carried out during the year the following are
among the more important: —
The upper gates of the old lock, being considered no longer safe, were re-
moved and replaced by reinforced concrete stoplogs, the joints being rendered
watertight by a layer of rubberoid paper. Over the stoplogs a foot bridge with
reinforced concrete floor and an iron handrail was constructed. The gates of
both the old and new locks were painted, as also the six bridges over slips on the
town side of the entrances. For a distance of 2,000 feet above and below the
lock the masonry walls of the entrance piers were pointed. The snubbing posts
along these walls were given a coat of white lead. The four wooden boom piers
on the north side of the upper entrance were demolished to one foot below water
level, an outer wall of concrete was then laid around each pier and the interior
filled with stone. At the lower entrance to the lock, and distant therefrom in
a southeasterly direction about one-half mile, is situated a protective channel
about 1,200 feet long and 120 feet wide constructed between cribwork walls
known as "Baker's Dam." Between September and the end of November of
last year the inner face of the crib superstructure of the southwest wall of this
structure was removed to below water level and replaced by a concrete wall
9 feet in height with an average thickness of 3 feet 6 inches and backfilled as
before with stone.
Lesser works carried out consisted in repairs to fences, buildings and
electrical lines, the care of canal grounds, etc.
In connection with the floating plant the derrick scow and row boat were
caulked and painted.
(h) Carillon and Grenville Canals
From the Ste. Anne lock to the foot of the Carillon canal there is a navig-
able stretch of water 27 miles in length through the lake of Two Mountains and
the Ottawa river. The Carillon canal, which is three-quarters of a mile in
length, with two locks, giving a total lift of 16 feet, surmounts the next rise in
the river level produced both by the Carillon dam at the head of the canal and
the natural fall of the river below.
The Long Sault rapids, 6 miles above the Carillon canal, are surmounted
by the Grenville canal, 5| miles in length, with five locks. Both canals provide
a depth of 9 feet of water over the lock sills.
These canals were opened to navigation May 1 and closed November 30.
No accidents occurred to delay traffic nor was any damage done to canal
structures.
Improvements made on this system of canals during the year have in-
cluded the following: — ■
Extensive repairs were made to the Carillon dam between the middle of
last September and the close of navigation. For a length of 105 feet on the
Pointe Fortune side of (he dam, the rear apron and crib had been completely
carried away and an additional 40 feet of the apron badly damaged. All this
portion of the dam was r(>biiill. On the Carillon side, the rear and front aprons
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 101
were damaged for a length of 50 feet and a large hole was discovered under the
dam. This hole was filled with field stone deposited on the upstream side.
Repairs to the apron, which were not completed, will be continued next season.
Other works carried out included the general maintenance of locks, repairs to
two bridges, guide piers, roads, fences and ditches, canal buildings, telephone
lines, etc.
Repairs were made to the vacuum pump of the tug Shirley, one scow was
re-decked and another repaired, a lifeboat was constructed for use with the
Shirley, and small craft caulked and painted.
(c) RiDEAU Canal
This canal connects with the Ottawa river about 56 miles above the head
of the Grenville canal and provides a waterway between the cities of Ottawa
and Kingston. It consists of a series of natural watercourses joined by a,rtificial
cuttings, is 126^ miles long and has fortj^-seven locks with a minimum depth
of 5 feet over the sills. It rises by thirty-three locks to a summit in the upper
Rideau lake, from which body of water it descends by fourteen locks to the
level of lake Ontario. A subsidiary canal, 7 miles in length, known as the "Tay
Branch", connects the town of Perth with the north end of the lower Rideau
lake. Its minimum depth is 5 feet.
Navigation opened, both at Ottawa and Kingston Mills, May 1 and closed
at Ottawa November 30 and at Kingston Mills November 25.
During the past year an ample supply of water was available for the navi-
gation of all parts of the canal.
The total number of lockages for the season was 16,4-iO, a decrease of 265
from the total recorded for 1926.
The principal repairs and improvements carried out during the year may
be stated as follows: — •
At Ottawa lock station the large stone building near the head of the locks,
transferred from the Department of National Defence, has been converted for
the use of canal stores and the former stores building abandoned for demolition
by the Federal Commission. At the head of the locks a concrete catch basin
has been constructed for the interception of mud and other debris from the
basin above, which had caused considerable trouble in the operation of the
river lock gates. The filling and grading of the new Echo Drive wharf, conir
menced last, year was completed. A large brick building for freight and offices
has been erected along this wharf by the Ottawa Transportation Company.
The former canal basin has now been abandoned and filled, and all buildings
fronting thereon are to be demolished. During the past winter a concrete wall
1,455 feet long was built along the west side of the canal from Cannaught Place
to Laurier avenue. Between Bank street and Bronson avenue on both sides
of the canal concrete walls were also constructed aggregating a total length of
6,119 feet. Another wall, 655 feet in length, was built along the north side of
Dow's lake in front of the old St. Louis dam. It is now proposed to continue
this last wall for a further distance of about 3,000 feet to connect easterly with
the walls already built. The lift span of the Pretoria avenue bridge was cleaned
and painted under contract with the Dominion Bridge Company.
At Hartwell's locks, the rebuilding of the chamber walls of lock 10, com-
menced last year, was completed. A portion of the apron below the waste weir
was rebuilt in concrete and various small repairs to both locks attended to.
A new plank floor was laid on the west weir at Hogsback and at the swing
bridge across the upper lock a new floor on new joists was laid.
The decayed chamber walls and upper mitre sill at Black Rapids lock were
taken down and rebuilt with concrete blocks.
At Manotick bridge the joists and floor were renewed.
102 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
The wooden swing bridge at Beckett's Landing, which had become unsafe
for traffic, was taken down and replaced by a new bridge 4 feet wider than the
former one and the old crib abutment was replaced by a concrete abutment.
At Nicholson's lock station the old timber approaches and rest piers, on
each side of the swing bridge, were rebuilt in concrete.
On the river side of Clowe's lock, two courses of the long protection crib
were taken down and rebuilt.
The long wooden wing crib at the head of the cut at Kilmarnock lock was
rebuilt for four courses.
At Smiths Falls the old timber waste weir on the west side of the basin dam
was taken down and rebuilt in concrete, together with the portion of the dam
which adjoins the weir. The old lock house was remodelled and a new storey
added to it.
At Poonamalie the long timber lay-by piers above the lock were rebuilt
from the water-line up, filled with stone and replanked.
The old timber approaches at Chaffey's lock, on either side of the swing-
bridge, were taken down and rebuilt in concrete and furnished with an iron
handrail. A new travelling stoplog lifter was installed at the waste weir.
At Jones' Falls the invert arch bottom of lock 41, which was much decayed,
was taken up and relaid in concrete.
The dipper dredge Rideau with tug Agnes P. and two dump scows was
emploj'ed during the season in deepening the "deep cut" at Ottawa, in dredging
and placing material behind the new concrete wall along Echo Drive, placing
clay at Hogsback dam, excavating crib work, placing clay for the coffer dam
at Clowe's lock waste weir and completing the cut above the lock at Burritts
Eapids. The tug Loretta was employed throughout the season in towing flat
scows, delivering stores, setting spar buoj's, etc.
3. RICHELIEU RIVER NAVIGATION
(a) St. Ours Lock and Dam
At a point on the Richelieu river, 14 miles above the town of Sorel, the level
of that river has been raised 5 feet by a dam. This difference in level is over-
come by the St. Ours lock. There is 7 feet of water on the upper lock sills,
but the depth of water on the lower sill is governed by the level of the St. Law-
rence river and has been as low as 5 feet 3 inches in October, 1923.
The lock was opened to navigation !May 1 and closed November 30.
Repairs of a minor nature only were found necessary during the past year.
These included the painting of the lock gates, small repairs to the dam, the
renewal of snubbing posts, repairs to fencing, the rebuilding of the derrick scow
from bottom up, etc.
(b) Chambly Canal
Between the St. Ours lock and Chambly basin, a distance of 32 miles,
the river is navigable with a depth of 7 feet. The Chambly canal, which enters
at this point, is 12 miles in length and has nine locks. It surmounts all the
rapids between Chambly and St. Johns, thus establishing communication
with lake Champlain. The locks, nine in number, provide a depth of 62 feet
of water over sills.
The canal was opened to traffic May 1 and closed November 30.
All locks on the canal were gone over and repairs made where necessary.
These included the pointing of masonry, repairs to mitre sills, gates, and gate
platforms, painting lock gates, etc.
I The bridges crossing the canal required only minor repairs. At bridge 1
& window was added to the cabin. The flooring of bridge 2 was repaired and
I

wooden fenders on abutments renewed. At bridge 5 the floor and floor sills
were replaced. Chains were installed at bridge 8 to prevent access to the
towpath. The east approach to bridge 10 was raised. Bridges 4, 5 and 6
were scraped and painted.
The decayed wooden fence of the wharf on the west side of the canal above
lock 3 was replaced with a concrete wall 196 feet long and 10 feet 6 inches high.
Between bridge 1 and lock 4, on the west side of the canal, the old scone
wall was taken down and rebuilt. At the lower entrance to the canal both
sides of the guide pier were dredged to provide greater depth for barges.
All canal buildings were kept in good repair including the superintendent's
residence and canal office at Chambly, various lock and bridge houses, carpenter
shop, machine shop, power-house, electrician's residence, etc., and all grounds
and flower beds were neatly maintained.
The boiler, engines and rudder of tug Chambly were repaired and the hull
caulked and painted. General repairs were also made to the derrick, repair
scow and flat scows.
4. LAKE ONTARIO TO GEORGIAN BAY
(a) Murray Canal
This canal, an open waterway 80 feet in width with 11 feet depth at low
water across the isthmus of the Prince Edward County peninsula connecting
the bay of Quinte with lake Ontario, is without locks.
Navigation opened April 14 and closed December 6. No delays, due to
accident or other cause, occurred during the season.
The principal repairs found necessary during the year were as follows: — •
At the Trenton road bridge the decayed cribwork between the pivot and
rest piers was replaced on the navigation side by a concrete wall 114 feet long.
On the other side of the pier a dry wall was constructed to retain the filling.
At the Canadian National Railway swing-bridge, the masonry carrying the
locking device, which had become so broken that the bridge lock was useless,
was replaced by concrete into which anchor bolts carrying the lock were em-
bedded.
During the sweeping of the canal bottom, a portion of a wrecked barge
containing large stone was discovered and removed by dredging.
The customary repairs were made to stone protection along the canal
banks, fences were repaired and the canal bank was kept in passable condition.
(h) Trent Canal
The route of the Trent canal, as now in operation, lies between Trenton,
on the bay of Quinte, where direct connection is made with lake Ontario, and
Port Severn, on Georgian bay, from which the waters of the Great Lakes are
accessible. The canal is made up of a series of lakes and rivers connected by
relatively short lengths of artificial cuttings. Connection between the water
levels of the various reaches is effected by locks, except at Swift Rapids and Big
Chute where marine railways are employed. The through route may be briefly
described as follows: Between Trenton and Rice lake the canal follows the
line of the Trent river. Passing through Rice lake it enters the Otonabee river,
the route of which is followed to its source in Katchiwano lake. From this lake
the line of the canal passes in succession through Clear lake. Stony lake. Lovesick
lake, Buckhorn lake. Pigeon lake. Sturgeon lake and Cameron lake to the west
side of Balsam lake. From here connection is made by an artificial cutting
with Mitchell lake about two miles westward, and from the latter lake another
cutting makes connection with Cranberry lake. From the south end of Cran-
berry lake connection is made with lake Simcoe by another artificial cutting.
104 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Passing through lake Simcoe the route of the canal continues to the Severn
river, the line of which is followed to the Georgian baj^ outlet at Port Severn.
From Trenton the canal rises to a summit at Balsam lake, the level of which
is about 597 feet above that of lake Ontario. From Balsam lake to Georgian
bay there is a fall of 262 feet. The total length of the route from lake to bay
is about 240 miles. It is made up of two main divisions: the Eastern division
between Trenton on lake Ontario and the outlet of lake Simcoe and the Western
division from lake Simcoe to Georgian bay.
Eastern Division, (Lake Ontario to lake Simcoe). — This division includes,
in addition to the main route of the canal, the Scugog branch, 35 miles in length,
from Sturgeon lake to Port Perry via the Scugog river and lake, and various
other navigable channels aggregating in all about 60 miles. The total extent
of canal and canalized waters maintained in operation on this division is therefore
about 240 miles. There are 42 locks and lock structures, two of which are
hydraulic lift locks, 8 guard gates, 47 bridges, 7 emergency dams, 40 lockhouses,
30 watch-houses and 24 storehouses. Included also under this division are
various reservoir lakes and dams taken over from the Ontario Government in
1905 under Order in Council, which are maintained and operated by the depart-
ment. Of such dams there are 50 in all, 36 of them being concrete structures
and the remainder timber.
Among the principal works carried on in the past year the following may
be noted :■ — ■
During the 1926 season the new dam at lock 23 was completed. It still
remained to remove the old dam. This work was carried out by the dredge
Fenelon, which had been rented by the contractors for the purpose, during July
of last year. At the same time camp buildings were dismantled, the grounds
on both sides of the river were cleaned up and the entire site left in a thoroughly
neat and orderly condition.
Under contract with Construction and Engineering Limited, work was
started in Juh^, 1927, on the construction of a concrete dam at lock 24 to replace
the old timber dam, which had seen over thirty years' service. By the middle
of October the north abutment and five northerly piers had been completed
and the greater portion of the intermediate breast walls. The unwatering of
the southerly half of the dam for the construction of the remaining four piers
and abutment was then commenced and completed early in November. Con-
creting then proceeded until the end of December by which time the southerly
half of the dam had been completed with the exception of the cut-off core adjoining
the south abutment and the platform over the piers and sluices. The entire
undertaking will be fully completed during the coming season.
At Gore's Landing, on Rice Lake, the old wharf, which had fallen into a
serious state of disrepair, was completely reconstructed. A concrete wall 180
feet long was built along the outer face and backfilled with stone and gravel.
Seventeen anchor piers were constructed in the interior of the dock and con-
nected to the face wall with steel tie rods. Along the inner face and east side
the piles have been cut off below water level for the placing of caps, stringers
and deck. The whole undertaking will be com})leted early in tlie coming season.
A lockmaster's house, recently completed, was constructed at lock 6,
Frankford, there being no living quarters obtainable in the district.
The dredge Auburn was employed first in the lower Scugog river, after-
wards in removing a submerged light-house pier in Pigeon lake and again, until
the beginning of August, on the lower Scugog. P^or the remainder of tiie season
this dredge was employed between the Portage road and Victoria road bridges
in deepening and widening the channel. The entire season's oi)erations covered
an area of 49,000 square yards. The dredge Fendon was first utilized by the
contractors for tlie new dam at lock 23 in removing tJie old dam. Between the
middle of July and the end of September work was carried on in the narrows
below lUickliorn in dee[)ening and widening the channel. After this, until the
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER im
close of the season, dredging was carried on at the lower entrance to lock 27
at Young's Point. The total quantity of material removed during the season
amounted to 1,375 cubic yards, a large proportion of which was rock.
The new dam and logslide at Elliott's Falls, begun in 1926, was completed
last season, the work which still remained to be done, consisting in the demolish-
ment of the old dam, the construction of the concrete logslide and side dam
and the general cleaning up of the area, being finished up early in June.
A small amount of preliminary work was done in 1927 on the new dam
proposed for Hawk river. Concrete work, however, was not commenced until
March of this year. Thus far, 222 cubic yards of concrete have been placed,
representing about 20 per cent of the total quantity estimated for the finished
structure. At Eel's lake, the two small timber dams were reconstructed in
timber, the work being completed early in February. The timber logslide of
the Hall's lake dam, which had fallen into a state of disrepair, was reconstructed
in concrete. Some preliminary work was done at the Big Bear lake dam, which
is to be rebuilt in concrete, and minor repairs were made to the dam at Bottle
lake.
At the Peterborough hydraulic lift-lock further trouble from leakage
through the floor of the west upper entrance had been experienced. To over-
come this, additional puddle was added to provide for the subsidence which was
found to have taken place and stone again placed about the collecting drain.
A bad vertical crack in the seal wall opposite to the collecting drain was cut out,
the crack caulked and grouted and the wall restored. A horizontal crack at
the first step in the seal wall received similar attention. All valves, operating
machinery, etc., were gone over and put into satisfactory working condition.
The Kirkfield hydraulic lift lock was also thoroughly inspected. The re-
cess, which had not been unwatered since 1907, was thoroughly cleaned^ four
small scow loads of mud and other debris being removed. The buoyancy tanks
and gate were painted. Disintegrated concrete wherever found was removed
and replaced. All mechanism was put in good working order.
Complete new decks were placed on the Montreal-Toronto highway bridge
at Trenton and on the Balsover bridge. Elm floors were placed on bridges at
lock 19, Chemong and Lakefield. The bridges at Lakefield and Wellington
street, Lindsay, were completely cleaned and painted.
The floating plant of the canal, which includes the dredges Fenelon and
Auburn, one drill boat, seven scows, the tugs Bessie Butler, Bob Hall, J. B.
McColl and Harwood and two cook boats, received such repairs as were found
necessary.
During the 1927 season the number of recorded lockages on the canal was
13,137, a slight decrease from the figures of the previous year. The heaviest
traffic recorded since the year 1919 was for the year 1922, when the total lockages
numbered 15,388.
Western Division (Lake Simcoe to Georgian bay) — Under this division, as
previouslj' noted, is included that portion of the route of the canal which lies
between the navigable waters of lakes Simcoe and Couchiching and Georgian
bay, in addition to which must also be included the now abandoned canaHzation
.of the Holland river from Cook's bay, at the southerly end of lake Simcoe, to
the town of Newmarket, a distance of about 12^ miles.
The original scheme for this division provided for a lock and terminals at
Honey Harbour on Georgian bay connected to Gloucester pool vid Go Home
bay and lake. This, however, has not yet been carried into effect. The navi-
gation of this division is now effected by means of the lock at AVashago, the
marine railways at Swift rapids and Big Chute, which provide for the trans-
portation of 15 to 20 ton boats of 13| foot beam with a length of 55 feet and
draught of 4 feet, and the lock at Port Severn.
106 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Special work carried out during the year on this division included the fol-
lowing : —
New range lights of the "Aga" gas lantern type were received during the
year to be placed at the entrance to the dredged channel at the northerly end
of lake Couchiching and on the Orilha shore of the lake. For the channel
entrance light a stone-filled crib with concrete top was constructed and for the
shore light a concrete base. These lights will be put in service for the coming
season of navigation.
At Swift Rapids a frame dwelling, 24 feet b}^ 32 feet with an extension
summer kitchen, was erected for the use of the marine railway operator. The
building is equipped with a concrete floored cellar, furnace and concrete cistern.
All three submerged slucies in the Swift Rapids dam were unwatered in
September last and thoroughly' inspected. They were found in practically as
good condition as when last examined in 1924.
A few repairs were found necessary at the marine railway at Big Chute.
A number of badly bent rails, which caused considerable jerking on the steep
grade, were taken out and replaced by better rails, thus improving the line
and surface of the track and reducing the strain on the operating machinery.
A double boathouse, with facilities for lifting out, repairs and painting,
was erected at Washago for the accommodation of the two service launches,
which had previousl}' been housed in old and unsuitable buildings. At Swift
Rapids also, where boathouse accommodation was similarly inadequate, a com-
mencement was made in the late autumn on a new boathouse for the cruiser
Oriental.
Thirtj'-five new buoys were placed during the season, for the most part to
replace those carried away or broken by high water or ice. All buoys on the
division were painted.
5. St. Peter's Caxal
The St. Peter's Canal, which was constructed between the years 1912 and
1917, connects the Bras d'Or lakes with St. Peter's bay on the southeast coast
of Cape Breton island. It consists of a tidal lock 300 feet in length and 48 feet
in width and provides for a minimum depth of 18 feet of water on the lock sills.
During the past season of navigation this canal was in operation between
April 2.3, 1927, and January 21, 1928, and was operated during this time without
any serious delay to traffic. The total number of vessels making use of the lock
was 1,270, a decrease of 33, or about 2^ per cent from the record of the year
before.
Early in the season the old cribwork on the east side of the lake entrance
from the swing bridge to the outer entrance, a distance of 627 feet, which had
been in service about 35 years and had become completely decayed, was re-
moved down to low water level and rebuilt. After the stone filling had been
replaced behind the new timbers, the ground, for a considerable distance behind
the cribwork, was regraded and ten cast-iron mooring posts were set at intervals
behind the face of the new wall. The concrete lock walls and long entrance
walls at the Atlantic end of the canal also received extensive repairs.
A new wooden floor, consisting of 1^-inch spruce, longitudinally laid over
heavy pine plank, was placed on the swing bridge over the canal.
The superintendent's house received extensive repairs and a new furnace
was installed hi the l)asement. The roof of the warehouse was re-shingled.
Other lesser works carried out included the annual scraping of the lock
gates below water level to remove barnacles and mussels, the inspection and
repairing of gate valves, the painting of lock gates above water level, the re-
placement of wooden by cast iron mooring posts, and the construction of a
small scow for use on the canal.

6. MISCELLANEOUS WORKS
(a) Hudson Bay Terminals
During March and April, 1927, twelve men witli equipment were transported
by aeroplane from Cache lake on the Hudson Bay railway to Fort Churchill
\\iiere 22 borings and 3 test pits were put down during the months of May,
June, and July. At the same time the staff at Port Nelson was increased by
twenty-one men who were employed in the reconditioning of the tug Yates,
a deck scow, a gasoline boat and a well drilling machine.
In August an inspection trip was made by Hon. C. A. Dunning, Minister
of the Department, Mr. F. Palmer, Consulting Engineer, and other officials
from the end of steel on the railway line to Port Nelson and Fort Churchill.
Following this inspection Mr. Palmer recommended the abandonment of Port
Nelson and the selection of Fort Churchill as the northerly terminus of the
railway. Orders were then issued for the removal of all plant and equipment
from Port Nelson to the newly selected terminus.
An additional one hundred and seventy-five men were immediately des-
patched to Port Nelson and the work of demohtion commenced. During the
month of September two successful trips were made by the tug Yates with a
scow in tow loaded with building materials, equipment, machinery, etc. from
Port Nelson to Fort Churchill. The schooner Fort York also made two similar
trips.
The ss. Canadian Raider of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine
chartered by the department, made the voyage from Sydney to Fort Churchill,
arriving September 26, with a cargo of 3,500 tons of coal and 500 tons of other
supplies. Of this ship load 2,000 tons of coal was discharged and the remainder
of the cargo. On the return trip a portion of the coal which had not been
unloaded was put off at Port Burwell, at the northeast point of Ungava bay,
after which the vessel, meeting with an accident, was beached at Port Burwell
for the winter.
The sea-going tug Ocean Eagle, purchased from the St. John Drydock
Company, together with a sister ship, the Ste. Anne, chartered from the Bathurst
Company, left Halifax for Fort Churchill September 15 having in tow the
dredge Kennequhair, and a steel dump scow. During a storm, while off the
Labrador coast some 300 miles south of Hudson Straits, the Kennequhair
sprang a leak and sank. The remainder of the convoy arrived at Port Burwell
October 1. The two tugs then returned to their home ports. The dump scow
was left at Port Burwell for the winter. The self-propelling hopper barge
No. 2, taken over from the Department of Marine and Fisheries, which had left
Montreal September 10, arrived at Port Burwell with the Ocean Eagle and
&te. Anne and proceeded immediately to Fort Churchill where she arrived
October 11. From here she proceeded to Port Nelson with the Yates and
Neophyte and docked for the winter.
During the winter months the force at Port Nelson was engaged in the
rebuilding of temporary bridges along the railway grade from "end of steel"
to Port Nelson, in the preparation of a road and in the transportation of materials
delivered at "end of steel". For the transporting of materials four large 100-
horsepower tractors, and two small tractors with 24 sleighs were employed.
During the month of March the transportation of materials and supplies
along the coast from Port Nelson to Fort Churchill was begun, one trip being
made when four tractors successfully covered the distance with 20,000 feet
of timber, dynamite, gasoline and other materials.
At Fort Churchill, during the winter, twenty-two men were employed
in the erection of a wireless station and in the cutting of native timber.
108 DEPARTMENT OF RAILWAYS AND CANALS
Contracts have now been let for the buildmg of two 8-cubic yard dipper
dredges, one 450-cubic yard dump scow and one 500-ciibic yard self-propelling
hopper barge. This plant, the delivery of which is expected next August,
will be sent to Fort Churchill.
In the spring of 1927 the ice began to move at Flamboro Head, June 4,
The river was clear by June 18. Ice began to form again in the river November
5. The river was full of ice by November 9 but was cleared three daj's later
by a high tide. The ice formed again shortly after and by January 2, 1928,
solid ice extended as far out to sea as the eye could reach.
At Churchill the ice went out of the river June 19. The bay w^as clear by
July 10. 1(6 again formed in the Churchill river November 1 and by November
20 the ice field extended for fifteen miles out to sea.
(b) St. Lawrence Ship Canal
For many years the question of the ultimate enlargement of the St. Lawrence
canal system between lake Ontario and Montreal has been studied by the engineers
of this department, and much data relating thereto has been obtained.
During recent years the work of completing definite plans for such an
enterprise became necessary in order to enable the department to deal intelli-
gently with proposals, by private corporations, for the development of isolated
water-powers which might seriously conflict with any reasonable development
of the navigation and power potentialities of the river as a whole. Under
this impetus, plans were evolved for a comprehensive development of the upper
section of the river.
Earlj' in the fiscal year 1924-25 a board of engineers was appointed by the
Canadian Government and a similar board appointed by the United States
Governm.ent for the purpose of jointly reviewing the Wooten-Bowden report
of 1921 and reporting on the cost of a through deep water route from the head
of the Great Lakes to the sea. The members of the Canadian board are Mr.
D. W. McLachlan (Chairman), Brig.-Gen. C. H. Mitchell, and Mr. Olivier O.
Lefebvre. A number of meetings of the board have been held and instructions
as to the form and scope of the report to be made were finally agreed upon
in joint session at Washington in December, 1924, and forwarded to both the
Canadian and American Governments. On January 5, 1925, these instructions,
after having been considered by the National Advisorj'^ Committee for Canada,
were transmitted to the board. Meantime, in anticipation of the eventual
receipt of these instructions, much study has been given both to the Canadian
and American sections of the river. Ice conditions have been carefully investi-
gated, stream discharges determined, soundings taken, test borings driven,
survey's carried out, and numerous plans prepared. As a result, a large amount
of valuable information has now been got together for use in the preparation
of the required designs and report.
Forty meetings with the American section of the board have been held
since its inception, three of which took place during the past year. These
meetings extended over periods of from two to three days and consisted of a
general discussion of the various matters on which the board was preparing to
make its report. The main body of the report was eventually signed at Washing-
ton, November IG, 1926. The appendices to accompany the report were
completed in July, 1927, and have been available for distribution since December
last.
In the Ottawa office a staff of two engineers, one draughtsman and two
clerical assistants has been maintained. For the fiekl work, with headquarters
at Cornwall, one survey party and one boring party were employed tluring
the greater part of tlie year.
Tlie office staff has been engaged in the preparation of estimates and plans
for inclusion in the appendices to the report and in connection also with estimates
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER 109
and plans to accompany the report on a lake terminal for use with the Welland
Ship canal. In addition to this an economic study of the St. Lawrence Waterway
project was made and various plans and estimates prepared in response to
enquiries of a special committee of the Senate appointed to enquire into the
St. Lawrence river project. The survey party was employed in surveying
various sites for a terminal for use with the Welland Ship canal and on other
related work. During the winter ice conditions was observed and water
levels and temperatures recorded. In the vicinity of Crysler island seventeen
additional borings were put down b^^ the boring party. As a result, better
foundation conditions were discovered than had previously been thought avail-
able making possible the recommendation by the Canadian section of the
board the Crysler island project for the improvement of this section of the St.
Lawrence river.
(c) Hungry Bay and Ste. Barbe Dykes
These dykes extend westward along the south shore of lake St. Francis
from the upper entrance of the Beauharnois canal for a distance of about 7
miles. They are maintained as a protection agahist the waters of the lake,
the level of which was raised when the canal was constructed. It may here
be mentioned that since the opening of the Soulanges canal in 1899 the Beau-
harnois canal has ceased to be used for navigation and is under lease for power
purposes only. The Hungry bay dyke has been in existence since 1856. The
top of this dyke is maintained as a road. The Ste. Barbe dyke was constructed
in 1889. At various places along the lake shore, protection walls have been
built outside the dykes.
The road along the Hungry ba}' dj^ke was thoroughlv repaired, holes and
ruts being filled with a mixture of crushed stone and liciuid asphalt and after-
wards oiled and sanded. These repairs, which extended southerly from a point
about one mile beyond the town of Valleyfield, were made over a length of about
5 miles along the dyke.
Along the lake shore, fronting the Ste. Barbe dj4'e, additional dry stone
protection walls were constructed at various points. The aggregate length
of walls thus constructed in 1927 was 8,550 feet, or 1-62 miles.
All ditches were kept in good order, weeds were cut and burned and the
road kept free of snow during the winter months.
I have the honour to be, sir.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 7^
2. Subsection one of section two hundred and ninety-five of the
said Act is repealed and the following is substituted therefor: —
"295.(1) A printed copy of so much of any by-law, rule or Printed
regulation, as affects any person, other than the shareholders, or the '^'^[p^°u^®
officers or employees of the corapanj^ shall be openly affixed, and
kept affixed, to a conspicuous part of every station belonging to the
company, so as to give public notice thereof to the persons interested
therein or affected thereby.
Nothing in this subsection contained shall apply to any by-law Publication
for the regulation of highway traffic upon or over a railway bridge, ofby^awfor
public notice of which by-law shall be sufficiently given, to persons of highway
interested therein or affected thereby, by the publication thereof in tiaffic.
one issue of the Canada Gazette."
PUBLIC SITTINGS OF THE BOARD
During the year covered by the period from January 1, 1928, to December
31, 1928, the Board held 48 public sittings at which 185 applications were heard.
The number of public sittings .held in the various provinces were as follows: —
Frovinces Number
Ontario 33
Quebec 7
Manitoba 2
Saskatchewan 3
Alberta 3
British Columbia
Kova Scotia
New Brunswick
Prirce Edward Island
Total 48
The applications include a great variety of matters falling within the juris-
tion of the Board under the Railway Act, varying from a complaint of a private
individual to weightier matters of general public interest affecting the com-
munity as a whole.
FORMAL AND INFORMAL MATTERS
The number of informal matters dealt with by the Board, as distinguished
from matters heard at public sittings, constitute a considerable percentage of
the total applications and complaints dealt with by it; that is to say, of a total
of 3,396 applications and complaints received and dealt with by the Board, 95
per cent were disposed of without the necessity of such formal hearing. These
informal complaints, dealt with and settled without the necessity of 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 the railway rates.
RAILWAY GRADE CROSSING FUND
In accordance with the provisions of subsection (5) of section 262 of the
Railway Act, 1919, provision was made that the sum of $200,000 each year, for
ten consecutive years from the 1st day of April, 1919, be appropriated and set
apart from the consolidated revenue fund for the purpose of aiding actual con-

struction work for the protection, safety and convenience of the public in respect
of highway crossings of railways at rail level, in existence on the 1st day of
April, 1909, 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,
subject to certain limitations set out in the Act and amending Acts, solely
towards the cost (not including that of maintenance and operation) of actual
construction work for the purpose specified.
In dealing with such crossings, the Board issued, between the 1st day of
April, 1909, and the 31st day of December, 1928, 867 orders, providing protection
for 973 crossings, as follows: —
By automatic interlocking plants (street railway protection) 13
By closing crossings 92
By diverting crossings 2
By diversion highways 99
By diversion to bridge 4
By diversion and double bell and wigwag 1
By diversion to improve view 1
By diversion to right angle crossing 2
By diversion and removal view obstruction 1
By diversion to subway 2
By electric bells 274
By electric bell and flash-light 2
By electric bell and removal view obstruction 2
By electric bell and wigwag 253
By electric bell and wigwag and removal view obstructions 7
By easing curve on approach to highway bridge 1
By gates 123
By gates and half interlocker 1
By grade reduction 1
By overhead bridges 43
By removal view obstructions 60
By removal view obstructions and reducing grade 2
By shelter 1
By subways 88
By towers 3
By wigwags 17
It will be seen by comparing the total number of crossings protected with
the Twenty-third Annual Report of the Board that the increase for the twelve
months ending December 31, 1928, in the number of crossings protected number
119, made up as follows: —
By automatic interlocking plants (street railway protection) 2
By closing crossings 20
By diversion crossings 2
By diversion highways 13
By electric bell and wigwag 94
By electric bell and wigwag and removal view obstruction 1
By overhead bridges 8
By removal view obstructions 12
By subways 6
158
Note. — One hundred and nineteen crossings and 158 protections consequent on account
of 13 diversions closing 20 crossings and double bell and wigwag at 26 crossings.
It will be noted that under the amendment to the Railway Act, chapter 43,
18-19 George V, the total amount of money to be apportioned and directed and
ordered by the Board to be payable from the annual appropriation, in the case
of any one crossing where the cost of the actual construction work in providing
protection, safety and convenience for the public does not exceed one hundred
thousand dollars, shall not exceed forty per cent of such cost, and the total
amount of money to be applied by the Board out of the Railway Grade Cross-
ing Fund under the provisions of the section, in the case of any one crossing
where the cost of the actual construction work in providing protection, safety
and convenience for the public exceeds one hundred thousand dollars, shall not
exceed forty per cent of such cost, and shall not in any case exceed one hundred
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 9
thousand dollars. Provision is also made that in case any province contributes
towards the Railway Grade Crossing Fund, the Board may apportion, direct
and order payment out the amount so contributed by such province for the pur-
pose of said fund, subject to any conditions and restrictions made and imposed
by such province in respect of its contribution.
GENERAL ORDERS
The following is a brief summary of some of the matters dealt with under
the Board's General Orders during the year ending the 31st December, 1928: —
General Order No. 456, dated March 8, 1928, directing that with respect to
freight traffic moving between points within Canada, if there are no through
rates in effect to destination, shipments must be forwarded via the route which
will give the lowest combination of local rates, or charges must be based thereon
if traffic is forwarded via other routes.
General Order No. 457, dated March 24, 1928, in the matter of application
of the Canadian Freight Association for approval of Supplement No. 4 to
Canadian Freight Classification No. 17. The Board directed that said Classifi-
cation No. 17 be approved, subject to certain changes and additions, as set out
in said Order.
General Order No. 458, dated March 27, 1928, with regard to regulations
respecting Railway Safety Appliance Standards. The Board directed that
boarding cars without end platforms constructed or reconstructed subsequent to
the 1st day of May, 1928, and used on railways owned or operated in Canada,
be as set forth in the Regulations with Respect to Railway Safety-Appliance
Standards approved by the Board's General Order No. 102, dated February -7,
1913, with certain exceptions as detailed in said order.
General Order No. 459, dated June 7, 1928 dealing with the matter of regu-
lations for the transportation by freight of Explosives and Dangerous Articles, as

certain amendments thereto with regard to Shipping Container Specification
No. 14, as set out in said order.
General Order No. 460, dated June 16, 1928, directing that effective not
later than July 15, 1928, all tariffs filed with the Board by railway companies
subject to its jurisdiction, providing for diversion of carload traffic in transit,
between Canadian points, shall have included and incorporated therein the
following rule: —
" When reqiiBs^ted by the owner of the property, or his represemtativ'e, tlhis railiway oom-
pany will make dili^cent efforts to locate the shiipment and effedt diversion in transit of car-
load traffic under the f'olil'owinior conditions, biit will no't asgnme any re.=ipo'nisifoiility for
failure to aocomiplish diversion unless such fciilure Ls diue to the nogMgence of its emiployees".
General Order No. 462, dated September 20, 1928, reciting that the Inter-
state Commerce Commision had in its Tariff Circular No. 20 prescribed certain
symbols to indicate changes in rates or charges, rules, regulations or practices in
freight tariffs, to become effective on October 1, 1928, which would be applicable
with respect to international tariffs, and it being desirable that there should be
uniformity of symbols in Canadian tariffs covering movements wholly within
Canada as well as to United States points: The Board directed that rule No. 22
of Circular No. 204 be made applicable to passenger tariffs and supplements
thereto only; and that rule numlicr 22-A as set out in said (^rder No. 462 be made
applicable to freight tariffs and supplements thereto which may be filed with
the Board on or after October 1, 1928.
General Order No. 463, dated September 19, 1928, provides for an amend-
ment to the Board's General Order No. 403, dated June 6, 1924, requiring rail-

light installations, as set out in said order.
General Order No. 466, dated December 10, 1928, provides that paragraph
1903 (a) of the Regulations for the Transportation of Explosives and Other
Dangerous Articles by Freight be struck out and clause substituted therefor as
set out in said order.
GENERAL DECISIONS AND RULINGS OF THE BOARD
Submitted herewith, epitomized, are some of the more important matters
dealt with by the Board at its public sittings for the year ending December 31,
1928.
WOODS MANUFACTUEING CO. V. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS
Branch Lines — Agreement — Jurisdiction — Railway Act, Sections 180 to 184
The Board has no jurisdiction under the branch lines sections (180 to 184 of
the Railway Act) either to fix the terms of an agrement for the co-operative con-
struction and maintenance of a siding constructed under these sections or to
revise the terms of such an agreement.
(Carroll Bros. v. G.T.R., 28 C.R.C. 35, followed).
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of the Assistant Chief Com-
missioner, dated January 9, 1928, concurred in by the Chief Commissioner.
C.R.C, Vol. XXXIV, p. 307.
FORD CITY et al v. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS
Farm Crossing — Highway Crossing — Status — Increased Traffic — Legalization —
Senior and Junior Rule — Cost — Railway Act, 1919, sections 212, 273.
The Board must consider various questions in opening crossings over rail-
ways, e.g., the needs of the public, the effect of the crossing on the operation of
the railway, questions of public safety, and the well established principles in
regard to factors affecting distribution of cost.
Where a crossing originated as a farm crossing, it continues to hold that
status, notwithstanding the increase in the volume of traffic. The increase in
the volume of traffic does not make it into a public highway. It is a crossing,
under the Railway Act, for a particular purpose and must obtain the sanction
of the Board before it can be legalized as a highway. It therefore comes under
the operation of the junior and senior rule.
Work done on a highway on both sides of the railway right of way does not
convert a farm crossing into a highway. A farm crossing under section 272 of
the Railway Act, 1919, when it is given of right is a crossing " convenient and
proper for the crossing of the railway for farm purposes." A crossing under
section 273, when it is of grace, is a crossing which " the Board deems it neces-
sary for the proper enjoyment of his land, and safe in the public interest."
The application of the town of Ford City and landowners for the construction
of highway crossings where Strabane avenue and Central avenue (230 feet apart)
intersect the lands of the Canadian National and Essex Terminal Railway
Companies where farm crossing had formerly existed, was refused. Nine tracks
crossed the railway lands 690 feet in width opposite Strabane avenue and 520
feet in width opposite Central avenue; the existing condition was utterly unfitted
for any type of level crossing, however protected, and the situation from a
traffic 'standpoint was too dangerous to justify a level crossing. The Board
authorized a crossing to be made by the town at Central avenue, to be provided
by means of a subway, at its own expense.
(City of London v. G.T.R. (Ashland Avenue Crossing), 20 C.R.C. 242; Ford
City V. G.T.R., 20 C.R.C. 1; Lachine v. G.T.R., 18 C.R.C. 385; Town
of St. Pierre v. G.T.R., 13 C.R.C. 1; Montreal v. C.P.R., 18 C.R.C. 50,
referred to.)
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 11
The facts are fully set out in the Judgment of the Assistant Chief Commis-
sioner, dated January 27, 1928, concurred in by Mr. Commissioner Lawrence.
C.R.C., Vol. XXXIV, p. 134.
CANADIAN shippers' TRAFFIC BUREAU V. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS et ol
Tolls — Reasonableness — Past Transaction — Jurisdiction
The Board has no power to make a declaratory order as to the reasonableness
of rates connected with a past transaction. Its jurisdiction as to the reasonable-
ness of rates pertains to the future; it is not retroactive.
Toll — Export — Classification — Legality
Export rates from Ontario to x\tlantic ports based upon percentages of the
Chicago-New York rates derive their validity from Order of the Board No. 586,
dated July 25, 1905, and not from the Official Classification.
The following cases were referred to: Complaint of Messrs. Graham & Co.,
Ltd., Belleville, Ont., 6 B.R.C., at p. 266; 22 C.R.C. 355; Canadian
Shippers Traffic Bureau v. C.N.R., 16 B.R.C. 135; 32 C.R.C. 3; Cana-
dian Traffic Shippers Traffic Bureau v. C.N.R., 15 B.R.C. 249; 31
C.R.C. 347.
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of the Chief Commissioner, dated
Januarv 30, 1928, concurred in bv the Assistant Chief Commissioner. C.R.C,
Vol. XXXIV, p. 311.
CANADIAN shippers' TRAFFIC BUREAU V. CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS
Tariffs— Raikvay Act, Section S31, subsection 3 — Interpretation — Direct Routing
— Rule — Scope — Long and Short Hatd Clause
I. Section 331, subsection 3, governs the " fi.ling " of special freight tariffs
and has no connection with the interpretation of the scope and import of an
expression used in a tariff already filed and approved.
II. Where there are several available routes by which traffic may be carried
between point of origin and destination, the " long and short haul " clause of the
Railway Act does not govern the rates from all intermediate points on all
routes. The published tariffs apply to the most direct route or shortest mileage
between point of origin and destination. The rule contained in the tariffs of the
Canadian National Railways defining " direct routing " as the shortest distance
over Canadian National Railways as provided in the Official Distance Tables,
Tariff C.R.C. No. E. 881, merely states the construction which has always been
placed upon the tariff's.
III. Held also, that the movement of a car of lumber from Corinth, Ont., to
Detroit, Mich., was not shown to be " over the same line " so as to make
applicable as maximum under the long and short haul clause the rate from
Hawkesbury, Ont., to Detroit, Mich.
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of the Chief Commissioner,
dated January 30, 1928, concurred in bv the Assistant Chief 'Commissioner.
C.R.C, Vol. XXXV, p. 168.
CANADIAN SHIPPERS TRAFFIC BT REAU V. CAN.VDIAN FREIGHT ASSOCL\TION ct al
1. Tariffs-Special Railway Act, Section 331, Subsections 3 and 4 — Practice of
Board — Construction of Statute
Upon complaint of the Canadian shippers Traffic Bureau that an objection
to special tariffs filed pursuant to section 331, subsection 3, of the Railway Act,
1919, acted as a stay of procedure and prevented such rates coming into effect;
12 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADA
Held, that such interpretation of the Statute was contrary to the construction
placed upon it by the Board and followed for many years, that when such tariffs
are filed the Board has power either to suspend or allow them to go into effect,
and, when so requested, to set down the objections for hearing and to dispose of
them as provided in section 331, subsection 4.
2. Tariffs — Lumber — Stop-off and Re-shipping Ride
Upon application of the Canadian Shippers Traffic Bureau on behalf of a
number of interests in the city of Toronto for suspension of the rule contained in
Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway tariffs stipulating
that stop-off and re-shipping arrangements would not apply when stop-off and
destination points are both located within the same group of terminals, the Board
held that the point where the transit arrangement was allowed was a pwint
intermediate to the destination, that lumber consigned to Toronto, for example,
on arrival there, is at its destination and that one point within the Toronto
terminal could not be said to be an intermediate point and another point within
the same terminal the final destination, that this application of the rule did not
result in discrimination between various consignees in Toronto nor in discrimina-
tion as between Toronto and other points. The application was dismissed.

LONDON AND PORT ST.\NLEY RAILWAY COMPANY V. CITY OF ST. THOMAS
Highway Crossed by Railway — Protection — Apportionment of Cost — Changed
Traffic Conditions — Previous Order
The Board apportioned 70 per cent to the railway company and 30 per cent
to the municipality of the cost of providing protection by watchmen at the level
crossing of Talbot street in the city of St. Thomas by the London and Port
Stanley Railway, the highway being senior to the railway but trafiic conditions
having changed considerably. Under the previous order the cost of protection
was borne entirely by the railway company.
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of Mr. Commissioner LawTcnce,
dated January 31, 1928, concurred in by the Assistant Chief Commissioner.

RESIDENTS BETWEEN WINNIPEG AND SPR.\GUE, MAN., V. CAN.\DL\N N.\TION.\L
RAILWAYS
Train service — Passenger — Leaving time — Oil Electric Car
Upon complaint of residents along the Canadian National Railway between
Winnipeg and Sprague, Man., that the local passenger service afforded by the
Canadian National Railway was very inconvenient for the rural population
along the line owing to the hour at which the train left Winnipeg, the Board
ordered that the time of leaving Winnipeg of the evening train for Fort Frances
and Duluth be changed from 9.50 p.m. to 7 p.m., or in the alternative that the
railway company put on an oil electric car service between Winnipeg and
Sprague.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS ^?
The facts are fully set out in the judgment of Mr. Commissioner Oliver,
dated February 6, 1928, concurred in by the Assistant Chief Commissioner and
Mr. Commissioner Lawrence. C.R.C., Vol. XXXIV, p. 113.
CITY OF WINDSOR V. CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY
(Wyandotte St. Bridge Case No. 2)
Highumy Crossed by Railway — Bridge — Third Track — Additional Depth of
Abutment — Apportionment of Cost
The Board authorized a third track to be laid under the bridge, the extra
cost arising from the additional depth of the abutment on the west side of the
bridge, to be included in the cost of the work, and apportioned as in the original

CANADIAN PACIFIC RAILWAY COMPANY V. TOWN OF ST. JEROME
Interswitching — Apportionment of Cost — Traffic — Routing — Railway Act, 1919,
Section 253 (1)
Every facility should be given for the handling of traffic and the public
should have the right to determine how its traffic should be routed. Railway Act,
1919, section 253, subsection 1.
Where a municipality stands to gain by, and has a direct interest in the
establishment of interswitching facilities, it should be called upon to contribute
to the cost of providing them.
The Board's order that interswitching facilities should be provided at
Montfort Junction at the joint expense of the two railway companies (31 C.R.C.
6) was varied by limiting the price of the land, including the cost of expropria-
tion, to $1,000 to be paid by the railway companies in equal shares, the balance,
if any, to be paid by the town of St. Jerome.

Discrimination
Subject to the provisions of the Railway Act, R.S.C. 1927, chapter 170,
regarding unjust discrimination, it is within the discretion of the railway
companies, to meet water competition, but the railway companies are not to be
compelled to put in or to maintain rates to meet such competition.
But to prevent hardship to shippers who had made contracts relying on such
a rate the Board delayed till after the close of navigation its approval of a tariff
cancelling the rate.

dated March 28, 1928, concurred in by the Assistant Chief Commissioner and

14 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADA
CANADIAN NATIONAL RAILWAYS V. TOWNSHIP OF PEEL
(Goldstone Station Case)
1. Station — Removal of Agent — Substitution — Requirements of Board — General
Orders Nos. 54 and 119
In dealing with applications to remove' station agents the Board requires
the railway to show whether the earnings do or do not fall below those provided
for in General Order No. 54 (Flag Station Order) and where they fall below the
required amount (115,000 per annum), an order generally issues providing for
the substitution of a caretaker or permitting removal without a substitute, after
giving notice as required by General Order No. 119 to the local municipality
or board of trade of the railway's intention to apply for such an order.
2. Agreements — By-laws — Responsibility of Board — Quantum of Service
While the Board does not assume the responsibility of setting aside agree-
ments covered by by-laws, the train service must be related to the needs of the
service; the quantum of such service is defined by the railway. (Tp. of Wallace
V, Great Western Ry. Co., 25 Grant's Ch. Rep. 86, considered.)
3. Caretaker — Substituted for Agent — Justified on Facts — Agreement —
Violation of
The substitution of a caretaker in place of an agent, where justified on the
facts, is not a violation of an agreement on behalf of a railway company to
" erect and maintain a freight and passenger station " in accordance with a
by-law of a municipality.
4. Caretakers — Duties of
The duties of caretakers are to keep the station clean, attend to heating
and lighting, meet all trains, handle baggage and take care of express and less
than carload freight. Inbound freight and express is to be prepaid.
5. Efficiency — Public Standpoint — Agent — Caretaker
From the standpoint of the pubhc there is not as great eflBciency with a
caretaker as there is in the case of a regular station agent, but the lesser effici-
ency so rendered does not mean that there is not a station in existence and
operation. (Township of Nottawasaga v. H. & N.W. Ry. Co., 16 Ont. A.R. 52,
referred to.)

MUNICIPAL DISTRICT OF STRATHCONA, ALBERTA (SOUTH EDMONTON) V. C.N.R,
1. Railway Operation — Agreement — Railway Company — Municipal
Corporation — Jurisdiction — Railway Act, section 35
In 1914 an agreement was entered into between the Canadian North Western
Railway and the Canadian Northern Railway Companies and the Corporation
of the City of Edmonton requiring the carriers to stop all passenger trains from
points south to points north of the city and vice versa, at Strathcona. In 1927
a supplementary agreement was entered into by the railway companies (now
part of the Canadian National Railways system) and the city of Edmonton
whereby the Canadian National Railways was relieved of the above-mentioned
obligation and permitted to run its trains to and from Edmonton via the
Bretona-Clover Bar Cut-off, which route avoided Strathcona and resulted in a
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS f5
saving of several miles and the avoidance of heavy grades into and out of
Strathcona. Upon application of the Canadian National Railways for approval
of the 1927 agreement pursuant to section 35 of the Railway Act, which applica-
tion was opposed by the citizens of Strathcona (South Edmonton) upon the
grounds that the city of Edmonton was exceeding its jurisdiction in entering
into the said agreement and that the citizens of Strathcona had a vested interest
in the enforcement of the agreement of 1914, it was held by the Board: —
1. That the jurisdiction of the Board had not been extended to cover the
determination, in case of dispute, of whether a municipality is acting
within the scope of its jurisdiction.
2. That R.S.C. 1927, c. 170, s. 35, being an invasion of a field lying within
the scope of the jurisdiction of the courts should be strictly construed
and that authority to approve the agreement in question was not within
the wording of the section.
The application of the Canadian National Railways for the approval by the
Board of the agreement of 1927 was dismissed. Commissioner Oliver con-
curred.
2. Railway — Operation — Abandonment — Special Act — Jurisdiction — Railway
Act, Section 162 (1)
Unless the Special Act by which a railway company is incorporated pro-
vides that it shall be continuously operated, the Board has no power to compel
a company which has discontinued the operation of its railway to resume such
operation even though the public interest is affected thereby, nor is the Board
empowered to prevent the discontinuance. A railway company may, under the
general powers conferred upon it by the Railway Act (R.S.C. 1927, c. 170, s. 162,
ss. 1, clause ip) ), alter or discontinue operation of its lines of railway.
The complaint of the business people of Edmonton South against the pro-
posal of the Canadian National Railways to dismantle its tracks between Bre-
tona and Strathcona was dismissed.
Commissioner Oliver dissented.

The application of the United Grain Growers, Limited, et at, for suspension
of Canadian Pacific Railway Tariff W-5721, C.R.C. W-2839 (effective June
23, 1927) which provided for calculation of tolls upon hogs in carloads, single and
double deck cars, from points in Western Canada to specified points in Pacific
coast states of the United States, in cents per 100 pounds on the actual weight
when in excess of the prescribed minimum in place of the practice which had
existed for some fifteen years of charging a flat per car rate via specified gate-
ways, was dismissed upon the ground that the differences involved under the new
tariff, which resulted in decreases as well as increases in some instances, were not

unreasonable and that the tariff filed was in accordance with the recognized
principle of ratemaking, which was applicable 'to the movement of livestock
generally, computing the charge at so much per 100 pounds subject to a pre-

minimum is exceeded.

COMPANIES
(Northwest Grade Separation, Toronto)
Highway Crossed by Railway — Grade Separation — Protection — Railway Grade
Crossing Fund — History
By Order No. 35037 dated May 9, 1924, the Board directed in general
terms a program of grade separation on the lines of the Canadian Pacific Rail-
way and Canadian National Railways in Northwest Toronto. Order No. 35153,
dated June 5, 1924 (see 32 C.R.C. 304) provided specifically for building two
subways on Bloor street and one on Royce avenue. These subways were duly
completed.
A subsequent application of the city of Toronto for an Order directing the
railways to carry out the terms of Order No. 35037 was dismissed upon the
ground of the record of expenditures of railways and municipalities with
particular reference to the large amount spent in the city of Toronto and of the
general needs of the country especially in large cities.
Where a railway crosses an existing highway the crossing is there by virtue
of Dominion law, and it is reasonable that those who derive advantages from
the proximity of the railway should bear a special share of the expenses of
safe-guarding it, but, in dealing with questions of protection, the Board con-
templates the matter from the view-point of the dangerousness of the crossing;
the average reasonable expenditure; the needs of the different sections of the
country; and the financial ability of the railways.

Upon application of the township of York, served by the Toronto and

pany's tariffs of tolls to provide for connection of all subscribers in the township
at the same rates, the Board, dismissing the application, held: —
1. That unjust discrimination was not shown to exist.
2. That the jurisdiction of the Board is confined to rates and does not
extend to an oversight of the divisions of the company's telephone service or the
base areas thereof, unless some question of discrimination arises.
3. That the determination of the limits of an exchange is a question of
internal management, a detail of operation over which the Board has no control
nor power to interfere.

Upon complaint of the Leonard Warehouses, Limited, of Vancouver, B.C.,
that the absorption by the railway companies of the cartage charges on " pool "
cars delivered to team tracks for C.L. shipments to competitive points was
unjustly discriminatory against them and upon their application for cancellation
of all tariffs providing for absorption of cartage charges, the Board, after
reviewing the situation in Vancouver, hearing evidence upon the matter and
taking into consideration the representations of the railway companies, ordered
cancellation of tariffs providing for absorption of cartage charges on " pool "
car traffic and dismissed for lack of evidence the application for cancellation
of all tariff's providing for absorption of such charges.

Where a railway is senior and it is desired to open a highway across its

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 19
the cost of construction and maintenance of the crossing, and its protection if
necessary coincident with opening the public highway, are borne by the appli-
cant who is junior in right.
Contribution from the Railway Grade Crossing Fund (under section 260
of the Railway Act as amended 18-19 George V, chapter 43) will not be ordered
when a new highway is to be established over a railway at a point where there
is no appreciable volume of traffic and no dangerous condition already in
evidence, and where the object of the crossing, with coincident protection, is to
further a scheme for development of an industrial area.
The Board has no jurisdiction to order an unwilling municipality to con-
tribute to the cost of carrying a new highway across a railway by means of a
subwaj' where the highway is not a diversion of an existing highway or public
means of communication and where the object is not the protection of the public
against an already existing danger.
Leave was given to the applicant to open up a crossing by means of a
subway, at its own expense as to construction, maintenance and protection, and
according to detail plans to be approved by the Board.

1. Tolls — Reasonableness — Presumption — Changed Conditions — Onus
A presumption exists in favour of the reasonableness of tolls which were
established in the first instance by a carrier of its own volition and have
remained in effect for some time ; and the onus is upon the carrier to show, with
reasonable conclusiveness, that changed conditions justify an increase.
2. Tolls — Discrimination — Railway Act
Difference in rates is discrimination; but the prohibitions of the Railway

Although a disparity was shown to exist in the matter of rates upon tea from
Vancouver to points in Western Canada (which rates were special import

commodity rates voluntarily established by the carriers considerably below the
class rates applicable to that commodity) and rates upon tea from eastern
Canadian points to Western Canada which were upon a class rate basis, the

The C.L. rate upon oranges from California points to Sudbury and other
eastern Canadian points has been brought about by a competitive situation, in
which mileage has been disregarded and a blanket rate established in eastern
United States and Canada. It is therefore not a measure of the reasonableness
of rates to Port Arthur and other western Canadian points, the rates to which
points do not reflect competitive conditions.
Held, also that the rates complained of were not shown to be unreasonable

Additional Protection — Apportionment of Cost.
Where it appeared that highway traffic had increased largely at a grade
railway crossing within a town, while railway traffic had decreased, and it also
appeared that a joint municipal road commission had taken over the roadway
crossing the railways, but the sidewalk forming part of the highway was still
controlled and maintained by the town, the Board in apportioning the cost of
additional protection directed that forty per cent be paid from the Railway
Grade Crossing Fund, and of the balance 50 per cent be paid by the railways
interested, 40 per cent by the road commission and ten per cent by the town.

Tolls — Fresh Meats — Packing House Products — Hides — Live Stock — Western
Canada — Domestic— Export to Atlantic and Pacific Ports — U.S. Points
— Percentage Relationship— N ormal Basis — Unjust Discrimination.
The Board dismissed the application of the provinces of Saskatchewan and
Alberta for a readjustment of the rates on fresh meats, packing house products,
hides and live stock from points in Western Canada to Vancouver, Seattle and
also points east and south for domestic consumption and for export.
Held: I. The normal basis of live stock and packing house products rates
has been the class rates subject at various times to lower commodity rates based
on combinations available through certain gateway's, and subject as well at
times to a reduction from the class rate basis accorded by the carriers as a
measure of assistance to the mdustries interested in order to aid them in meet-
ing market competition.
II. There has not been any recognized or definite percentage relationship
existing between rates on live stock and the rates on fresh meat or packing
house products from Winnipeg or elsewhere. As a matter of tariff construction
the establishment of such a relationship would seem to be impracticable and
would resolve itself into an attempt to create through rates equal for all Cana-
dian packers regardless of the reasonableness of the rates per se. The necessity
for such a relationship was not shown to exist. An attempt to create such a
condition would be outside the proper function of the Board as a regulatory
tribunal.
III. Unjust discrimination or undue preference was not shown to exist in
the rates from points west of Winnipeg to Eastern Canada.

OTTAWA ELECTRIC RAILWAY COMPANY V. CITY OF OTTAWA
I. Tariffs — Tolls — Electric Railway — Jurisdiction — 14-io George V (1924),
Chapter 84 — Schedule.
The jurisdiction of the Board to regulate the tolls to be collected by the
Ottawa Electric Railway Company is defined by 14-15 George V (1924), chap-
ter 84, section 2, which confirmed an agreement entered into by the Ottawa
Electric Railway Company and the city of Ottawa on January 25, 1924, said
agreement being set out in the schedule to the Act.
Sections 9 (a) and (6) of the agreement define the procedure to be fol-
lowed in bringing the matter before the Board and set out the factors to be
considered by the Board in arriving at the tolls to be charged.
II. Tolls — Capital — Depreciation Reserve — Surplus — Return — Rate of Fare.
Taking into consideration the average operating expenses, a reasonable
return upon the investment (determined by the Board to be at the rate of 7 per
cent per annum), a surplus of 2 per cent, depreciation reserve upon a ratio of
4-11 per cent and the taxes paid by the company, the Board approved of 7 cent
fare to replace the 5 cent fare previously in effect.
Held, that moneys taken from the depreciation reserve and invested in the
plant by addition of new property are properly an investment upon which a
return must be allowed under section 9 (a) of the agreement.
Commissioner Oliver, dissenting, held that the company had failed to satisfy
the onus upon it of proving the necessity for increased fares.
Commissioner Lawrence, dissenting, held that 5 per cent per annum was a
fair return for the money invested in the shares of the company, that the com-
pany should not be allowed a return upon money taken from its reserve fund

The Maritime Freight Rates Act, effective July 1, 1927, provided for reduced
freight rates on traffic originating in the territory east of Levis and Diamond
Junction, P.Q., and for reimbursement by the Government, to the railways, of
the difference between such reduced rates and the normal rates which would
otherwise have been charged.
The Board was required to certify to the Minister of Railways and Canals
the amount of this difference, and checking and accounting of the traffic moved
under the reduced rates, was necessary.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS 29
The first railway report, (for July, 1927) was filed in October, 1927, and the
staff appointed to perform the work of checking and accounting did not assume
their duties until April 1, 1928.
As the accounts for the entire year of 1928 have not yet been checked, there
is shown below information as to the work in connection with the twelve months,
July 1927 to June 1928, inclusive.
Nine railways filed monthly statements of traffic upon which reimburse-
ment was claimed, each monthly statement consisting of from 6 to 1,100 sheets.
During the period, there were filed 108 accounts consisting of 21,185 sheets,
with an average of 74 rates per sheet. There w^ere, therefore, 1,567,690 rates
and 783,845 extensions checked; and 21,185 columns of figures added.
As a result of this check, many errors and omissions were discovered,
necessitating the issuance of 9,738 correctors, an average of over 800 per month.
The total additions to the accounts amounted to $12,886.55, and the total
deductions to $22,414.47.
The total amount claimed by the railway companies was $810,313.84, and
the amount allowed was $800,785.92, or a net deduction of $9,527.92.
The number of outgoing letters in connection with the administration of the
Act, to June 30, 1928, was as follows: —
Board 118
Railways 519
Others 10
Reports 5
652
During this period, 204 orders were issued approving tariffs or rates and
certifying to the normal tolls.
The number of communications to railways, express, telephone and telegraph
companies in connection with complaints, proper interpretation of tariffs, or
classification and filing of same, also in connection with powers of attorney, con-
currences, etc., was 1,849. Communications to others were 858, or a total of
2,707.

The inspection of 75,989 cars, it will be readily understood, entails considerable
time and labour, both on the ground and in the office at headquarters, where the
work of recording, checking and filing of the numerous reports Ciirried on, and
subsequent correspondence with the railway companies, with a view to having
the defects, so reported, remedied as promptly as possible.
The inspection of 75,989 cars above referred to revealed 3,822 defective cars
(5-2 per cent) with defects totalling 4,313.

APPENDIX "D"
REPORT OF THE CHIEF FIRE INSPECTOR OF THE BOARD, CLYDE
LEAVITT, FOR THE YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 1928
During the year, the field organization of this department has been some-
what increased, in order more adequately to control burning operations on rail-
way right of way, through the issuance of permits to burn. This increase was
accomplished through the ex-of!icio appointment as local officers of the Board of
an additional number of forest officers employed by Dominion and Provincial
forest services. The field staff of the department totals 174 at the end of the
year.
RAILWAY FIRE PATROLS
Of 39,498 miles of railway in Canada subject to the Board's jurisdiction,
13,426 miles or 34 per cent, is classified as running through forested territory.
Of this, special patrol by selected members of section crews is prescribed on 5,206
miles; special patrol by special men on velocipedes on 783 miles, and special
patrol by special men on power speeders on 1,384 miles; foot patrol on 13 miles
and special patrol on 109 miles of line under construction; total mileage subject
to some form of special patrol by railway forces, 7,495 miles. This represents
special attention to fire patrol by 806 selected members of section crews, 62
velocipede patrolmen, 53 power s{)eeder patrolmen, and 6 special patrolmen on
lines under construction, — a total of 927 special fire patrolmen on all lines. On
5,931 miles of forested territory where the fire hazard is not extreme, special
fire patrol is not prescribed, the detection, reporting and extinguishing of fires
being left to section forces and other regular employees, as a part of their regular
duties.
FIRE STATISTICS
Railways subject to the Board's jurisdiction throughout Canada are reported
as having caused 776 fires in territory classified as forested. These fires burned
over a total of 11,787 acres with forest and other property loss valued at $21,821.
Of this area 1,696 acres were young forest growth, 171 acres merchantable timber
and 615 acres slashing or old burn not restocking, while 9,305 acres were non-
forest lands. Thus, the area of actual forest burned over was only 2,482 acres
or 21 per cent of the total. The valuation of young forest and standing timber
destroyed is $4,101 or 18-8 jier cent of the total damage; forest products con-
."isting of poles, ties and cord wood to the value of $320 or 1.47 i)er cent, and
improved property in some form, valued at $17,400 or 79.73 per cent of the
total, was also destroyed.
Of the 776 fires attributed to the railways, 41.11 per cent were incipient,
48.32 per cent covered between one-fourth acre and ten acres each, while 10.57
per cent attained a size over 10 acres each.
Detail statistics by railways are shown in the accompanying tabulation;
another table follows, showing the distribution of fires attributed to railways,
between locomotives and employees. The former include fires attributed to
stacks or ash pans of locomotives or other portable boilers. The employee fires
are mostly cases where fires escaped from section forces burning right of way or
old ties. It will be noted that fires attributed to locomotives comprise 76.68 per
cent of the total number of railway fires, and that these fires burned 43.01 per
94 RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS FOR CANADA
cent of the total area, causing 70.92 per cent of the estimated total loss in money
value of forest and other property destroyed by railway fires. Employee fires
account for 23.32 per cent of the number, 56.99 per cent of the area, and 29.08
per cent of the money value of damage done by railway fires.
Railway fires occurring east of Fort William, Port Arthur and Armstrong
represent 16.49 per cent of the total number, and these fires burned over 3.37
per cent of the area and did 3.90 per cent of the total damage attributed to
railway fires. Most of the fire damage occurred in British Columbia and
Alberta.
In addition to the foregoing, there were reported 263 fires burning in ties in
the track, of which 168 occurred on the Canadian National Railway Atlantic
Region; 24 on Canadian National Railway Central Region; 7 on Canadian
National Railway Western Region; 62 on Canadian Pacific Railway Western
Lines; one on Canadian Pacific Railway Eastern Lines and one on the Algoma
Central and Hudson Bay Railway.
One hundred and ten fires, originating within 300 feet of track in forested
territory, are attributed to known causes other than the railway. Of these fires
43 are charged to campers and travellers, 36 to settlers and 31 to other known
causes. Thirty-eight of these fires were incipient; 50 burned from one-fourth
acre to 10 acres each; and 22 burned more than 10 acres each. These fires
burned over 435 acres of young forest growth, 29 acres of merchantable timber,
300 acres of slashing or old burn not restocking, and 2,064 acres of non-forest
land, with total damage to forest and other property estimated at $2,819.
Fires of unknown origin originating within 300 feet of track total 34,
burning over 1,267 acres, with forest and other property loss valued at $3,276.
Of this, the forest valuation accounts for $1,811.
Thus, all fires reported as having originated within 300 feet of track in
forested territorj-, due to all causes, total 920, burning an area of 15,882 acres
of forest and non-forest land, with total estimated damage of $27,916.
FIRE-GUARD REQUIREMENTS
In accordance with the fire-guard requirements, 5,632 miles of fire-guards
were constructed or maintained in fenced grazing and wild lands, in non-forested
sections of the Prairie provinces, as follows: —
Canadian National Railways 2,227 miles; Canadian Pacific Railway, 3,367
miles; Edmonton, Dunvegan and British Columbia Railway 16 miles; Great
Northern Railway, 22 miles.
FIRE PROTECTIVE .\PPLIAXCES ON LOCOMOTIVES
During the fire season of 1928 officers of the Fire Inspection Department
inspected fire protective appliances on 3,911 locomotives operating through
forested territory. Of this total, the fire protective appliances on 97 locomotives
or 2.48 per cent were found to be in a defective condition.

Referring to the Board's circular letter of December 12, 1927, in re head-on
collisions, I am now directed to state that the Board notes that strong objection
is taken to the proposal contained in said Circular No. 215 being applied to freight

movements of freight trains, light engines and work trains are concerned no
objection is taken, except where the instruction reversing right to track at the
meeting point involves a train carrying passengers; and further, that the Board
is of the opinion that the instruction referred to should only be made use of
where there is some physical difficulty in the way of the meeting of trains carrying
passengers being made, as covered by the rules governing that part of the

recently on one of the electric railways. A car loaded with gasolene had been
placed on a siding for unloading, and an employee of the oil company, to whom
it was consigned, attempted to measure, with the aid of an iron rod, the quantity
of gasolene remaining in the car. The iron rod came in contact with the trolley
wire carrying 1,500 volts; this resulted in an explosion of gas, and serious injury
to the said employee.
I am now directed to call your company's attention to this case and to ask
that your company give particulars in writing to each of the oil companies for
which carload traffic of an inflammable character is handled by your company.
Yours truly,
A. D. CARTWRIGHT,
Secretary.

Re the Matter of Elevation of Slatio)! Platjortns
Referring to this matter which has been the subject of investigation and
report through the Board's Operating Department, I am now directed to ask your
company to show cause why the Board should not adopt the standard of 5-inch
elevation, with a time limit fixing the date at which all platforms must be
brought to that standard.
I also enclose you herewith, co-py of a memorandum of the Board's Chief
Operating Officer, dated the 4th instant in this connection,
Bv Order of the Board.

MEMOKA'NDUM FOR DEPUTY CHIEF COMMISlSlIONER
As requested bj' j'ou .=0'me^,ime ago I have looked aver a number of differemt. railways,
and I find that the actwal conditions olf statuon pl'stfonm elevations vaiiy conside-rabJy as
between railways, and, in some caseis, as between sta.tions on the same railiway.
The Grand Tnanik Wcsteiii has a standard wihich varies from rail level to 5 Lnehes
above, with two or three exceptions at terminals where the platforms are at 11 to 15 inches
above the rail.
The New York Central has rail level and tie \p\o\ according to different grades of their
stations.
The D. & H. for all new woa^k is rail level filled out to within a few inclies otf the rail;
this is explained as an eaisenient cf tlhe difficulty in tanicking across to a second track, and to
get away froim the space bctAvesn curb and rail imto wliiieh they have found people stepping
both entraining and detraining, also when walking across the tracks.
The T. H. and B. is 5-inch elevation at local stations; rail level at their Hamilton
Temiinial.
The M.C.R. has standard of rail lovel, but actually in existence there are platforms
at tie level as well as rail level some of the variations being brought about by change in
elevlation of track ddirinig ballasting and other maintenanice operations.
The C.N.R. show a s>tanidard plan 5-iincili eilevation, buit have a great many stations on
different par'ts oif their i?3'stem that are at rail level, some slightly below it and otheris between
rail level and 5-inlch elevation.
The C.P.R. has a 5-inch standard which has been worked to with ver^- few exceptions.
This I undefl-stand is due to the fact that tho standard was adoipted years ago, and iaj
renewals, etc., it lias been pnovided.
The N.Y.C. in Qinada varies be'twen rail \exe\ and tie level, as ilhistrated b}' investi-
gation on the line between Montreal and Vallcyfield. Mr. Scott's letter just received shows]
that the coimQxany's i>roposal to radse all their platfonns thore to rail level will noit be quale
accomiplighed this year as their rail relayin)g will not quite cover all the line this yoar.
There will be two statiions, 9t. TimiO'thee and Cccilo Junction tH3 be tlealt Avith in the
program of 1*929.
There is atltaclied to the file rnomoivinda showing vaj-iatioin in the heigliit from top of
rail to first tretid of the stoiDS of paaseniger cars. This j-oti will notdce varies between 13 and
22 inches.
I have not up to the present disciut="5ed wiith the Railway Car Department the reason
for the varia.tion in its 9tei>s above the Kiil butt I would like to do .so.
I hiave no hesitation in sayinc that I think the mosrt, sati'Sfactony elevation for staluon
l)latforms is 5 inches above rail level.
I would suggest that the Board consider wlieither railiway companies should not be
a.sked to show why the Board should not adapt the standard of S-in'oh elovatiion, with a
time limit fixing the date at whiich all plaitfonns must be brought, to that sandard.

Cliiif OjMrnting Officer.

CIRCULAR No. 218

Appointment and Withdrawal of Agents
File 4205.450
Referring to correspondence as to whetlier the portion of inter-line traffic
accruing to the connecting railway should not be considered as part of the figures
upon which arrangements as to station agents should be based, the Board has
decided that the inter-line traffic and all revenue of trafiic of whatever origin
should be considered as part of the figures upon which the justification of the
rearrangement as to station agent at any particular point should be based.
By Order of the Board.

Derailments at Main Line Switches
I am directed by the Board to state that on account of recent derailments
at main line switches, all railway companies subject to the Board's jurisdiction
are requested to furnish, within thirty days from this date, a memorandum
showing the number of automatic switch stands in use in main line switches.
By Order of the Board.

CIRCULAR No. 220
Re Dangerous Crossings
May 18, 1928.
File 11026
The revisions made by Parliament in the' legislation regarding the Grade
Crossing Fund make this an opportune moment to consider further the protec-
tive work that is to be undertaken with the co-operation of the Grade Crossing
Fund.
In the work that has been done, protection has been afforded by improve-
ments of view, widening of cuts, road diversions, bells and wigwags, bells and
flashing lights, flagmen, bridges, subways, etc.
The Board feels that it should have comprehensive information regarding
crossings which have elements of danger. It has been, and is, collecting infor-
mation through reports and investigations concerning crossings which are
regarded as dangerous. It feels it would be of advantage to have the railway
companies themselves furnish a list of crossings, upon their lines, that, in
their opinion, might properly be improved from the standpoint of protection.
To this end, the Board desires to obtain information, from each of the rail-
ways subject to its jurisdiction, regarding the dangerous crossings on said
system. This should set out —
(a) the location of the dangerous crossing;
(b) the name of the county or other municipality and province in which
it is located;
(c) a classification of the crossings according to the nature and extent of
danger attaching.
94523—9
1
118 RAILWAY COMMISSIOXERS FOR CANADA
This will assist in arriving at an opinion as to which crossings should be given
priority of consideration. Any suggestions in this regard will be welcomed.
When the lists so called for are received, the information contained will be
studied, with a view to selecting a reasonable number of crossings each j'ear.
The Board will then, if hearing is necessary, call before it the different parties
who, in its opinion, may reasonably be called upon to contribute in aid of the
protective work, and in excess of the amount to be contributed from the Grade
Crossing Fund.
The Board will be glad to have this information and additional sugges-
tions, if any, sent in, in writing, by September 1, 1928.
By Order of the Board.

Re End Blocking for Loading Rails on Flat Cars
File 8799.34
The attention of the Board has been called to some cases of rails loaded on
flat cars having shifted over the ends of cars owing to there not being end block-
ing provided. It appears that rule 239 of the A.R.A. Loading Rules was revised
in 1927 to permit the shipment of rails on flat cars without end blocking.
Railway companies are requested to show cause why a ruling should not
be made by this Board requiring substantial end blocking being provided when
rails are to be moved on flat cars, either from shipping points or from points of
interchange.
By Order of the Board.
A. D. CARTWRIGHT,
Secretary.
