Experience is proving that railroads are incapable of remov- ing our produce at those seasons when most required, and thus large amounts of grain, &c., annually seek an outlet through the shipping points of the Waters of Lake Ontario, which formerly passed through the Grand River, and instead of assisting to build up our towns and villages, has been diverted from this natural channel for want of proper shipping facilities. From surveys and estimates caused to be made by the Council of the Town of Brantford, a statement of which will be included in this report, it will be seen that the improvements and repairs required are not of such magnitude but that they might be easily compassed. To effect this object the Board of Trade have thought it expedient to appoint a Committee composed of the foUow- lowing parties, viz.*. ' . . ....:.; bislO-.l is..*') h;5 I. Cockshutt J.

Harcourt York. .J. Herschell Cayuga. ' A. Brownson Dunnvillc, whose duty it will be to endeavor to devise such means as may ulti mately tend to the completion of this most important work. In compliance with the foregoing resolution, the Committee, after , a careful consideration of the subject, have thought it advisable to ,,. Jiave a full and careful report mad^ of the present position of the .. navigation, embracing its capabilities and the prospective advantages that must result to the Counties of Haldimand and Brant by the carrying out of this work. The iGrand River being one of the largest and most important streams in the Province, and passing through two of iha most fertile counties of Ontario, and with an abundant supply of water at all times for the purposes of navigation, as also for the mills and manu- factories now in operation in all the towns and villages, and which I would under an improved navigation be vastly increased, makes this | n I withoi kets ii peciall sectioi uilwal conneJ 6uelp| enable any o^ the nr this r( aay ot lime-s all tin emplo, Th( Censu will si to 3 V Tal • 3 work a thoroughly practicable undertaking, and must commend itself i banks tii to the public at large, as not only being likely, under proper man- 1 To> vTij^ement, to be made remunerative, but as conferring a benefit upon I acres •J7 every inhabitant of the two counties. When the position of the | timbe Grand River is taken into consideration as a feeder to the Welland \ populi Canal, thus enabling produce and merchandize of all kinds to be for- \ j^q warded direct to the leading markets of our Dominion, as well as to| gggged those of the United States ; as also the great advantages that would \ lands, be conferred upon tho merchant in importing the heavier class of; i 79I goods direct from the various importing markets of the country at j lower rates of freight and less transhipment than by any other route. Another great and important consideration in favor of improving this navigation is its proximity to the great coal fields of America ; its mouth, with its splendid harbor, being only fi'om 30 to 40 miles from the town of Erie on the south side of that Lake — one of the principal outlets for the vast coal trade of Pennsylvania — and which would enable this great staple to be imported and laid down in our towns Soi undei &rm£ ralua Nc unde farmi RERORT OF NAVIGATION COMPANY. IS may uiti k. ui idvisable to ition of the advantages raat jjjthe i important most futile vater at all and manu- ithont breaking bulk, and at as low rates of freight as to any mar- tets in the Province of Ontario; — thus making all our towns, espe. ecially that of Brantford, depots of coal for the supply of a large ection of the Province. From the position of Brantford, with its ailway connection and probable railway extension to Harrisburgh connecting with the Great Western, and opening the markets of Guelph, Gait and points northward towards Lake Huron, it would enable shippers of this staple to lay it down at a lower cost than by any other route, at the same time tcndin"; to increase the receipts of nittee after . . ^ • ui i. *'^® navigation . Salt, also, as an imported article could be brought by this route and supplied to the same markets at as low a cost as by any other. The products of these counties — such as grain, plaster, lime-stone, lumber, cord wood, railroad-ties, staves, &c. — would at all times furnish return freights to such vessels or barges as might be employed in the coal or other trades. i , , The following statistics of the various townships, taken from the Census of 18G1 (and which have much increased since that date), will show the vast interests to be taken into consideration as being and ~K'"ti 1*'° * "^^^J great extent tributary to the trade of the Grand River : makes this I Taking, first, the Townships ofllaldimaod, immediately on the mend itself I banks of the river, we have the • • ,, , • . -.r roper man- 1 Township of Dunn, on west side of the harbour, with 10,458 nefit upon I acres assessed, of which 4,622 are under cnltivation and 5,836 in ion of the I timbered lands, estimated cash value of farms $284,228, and with a population of 955" •• , Moulton and Sherbrooke, united townships, with 18,968 acres as- sessed, of which 7,207 are under cultivation and 11,671 in timbered lands, estimated cash value of farms $258,516, and population of 1,791. . . . , ,r ,\" South Cayuga, with 13,296 acres assessed, of which 7,172 are under cultivation and 6,124 in timbered lands.

The townships of Norwich and Townsend, although not in the County of Brant, contribute largely through the market of Brantford to amount of produce, &c., requiring shipment, and would from these two townships be vastly increased with an improved navigation. Having given the summary of the various townships immediately interested in the improvement of the navigation, we will now give some statistics of the villages and towns (as forming the various markets for the delivery of farm products of all kinds), with their im- portance and capabilities as points for manufactories of all kinds. Commencing from the mouth of the river, we have the village of Dunnville, in the township of Moulton, about six miles from the har- bour on Lake Erie. Here is the first dam made for the purpose of feeding the Welland Canal, and forms the entrance to that canal from the upper waters of the river. The navigation of the river would be materially aided by the construction of a lock, allowing vessels to pass through into Lake Erie without being obliged to tra- verse six miles of the canal to reach the harbour, with additional tolls to pay thereou. Should this undertaking be progressed with, a proper representation to the Government might probably overcome this difficulty, as the navigation has been obstructed by the feeding the canal from the river. An extensive water power for all manufac- turing purposes is, however, provided by this dam. Here is a station 8^' REPORT or NAVIGATION COMPANY. of the Grand Trunk Railway, 40 miles from Buffalo.

Commercially, few towns possess greater ad- vantages tluin this, it being in the centre of one of the finest agricul- tural districts in the Province, and possessing a most extensive water power, with capabilities of becoming one of the first manufacturing towns in Ontario. It was in former years one of the largest grain markets in the Western Province, and nothing would again establish its reputation as a market so much as by the improvement of the nav- igation, thus enabling produce, &c., to be shipped direct to any mar- kets in the Province, and to compete with Hamilton or Toronto. For want of these shipping fticilities, thousands of bushels of grain are unnually diverted from this channel. , The following are some of its leading manufacturies : Four large flour mills, with a capacity of grinding 120,000 bbls. per annum. Two foundries and engine works, employing some 200 hands. Two tanneries. Stoneware works, importing 300 tons of clay per year from New Jersey. , • .'

The following is from the books of the Navigation Company : It is difficult to ascertain the actual amount originally expended in the construction of the navigation, but it ujny be fairly estimated that up to the present time the sum of $100,OOJ has been laid out in the construction of the works. In the amounts credited for tolls, they are for the most part made up from the shipments of lumber, staves and plaster. Of late years no grain or produce has been forwarded. It will be seen that, during the past six years, the sum of S41,4(ii2 Las been paid from the proceeds of the navigation to the Treasurer of the town of Brantford. The property at present owned by the Navigation Company is as follows : In the Town of Brantford ; All that property situated on ihe bank of the canal on which the present storehouses are built, for which ground rent u piid.
