Police Station. and a section in the large boiler used in the heating of the City Hall had to be replaced. Your Committee feels that it would help a great deal in keeping the building clean. If the heating were changed over from coal to oil. some minor repairs were ncces iiary to the roof. and a shut-off was built into the ventilation in the cell block. to increase the heat. A new flag pole was placed in front of the building. which allows for the flag to be raised and lowered without the necessity of climbing to the I roof on each occasion.

We feel that this was done by a special Committee of the Council. with Councillor Gaudet act g as the spearhead. and we offer our congratulations to the other members of the Council. and to ourselves. on having had this accomplished. The results have certainly warranted the expendi- ture. some repairs were made to the flat roof of the Market. to take care of I leaking condition-also some repairs to the flashing and copper work on the main roof When the new oil burning equip- ment was installed in the Market. It was found that. to heat certain occupied sections it was necessary in heat unoccupied sections as well. Iiccause of the antiquatcd steam pipc system. This meant the boiler was doing a lot of unnecessary work. and consuming a- very great quantity of oil. To economize on this wasteful consumption of fuel oil. new direct lines were installcd. giving the most direct hcat pos- sible. It was found also that the rcturn system from the radiators was obsolete, and did not tie in with the preheating tank in con-I cs

By WALTER GRAY

Canadian Press Staff Writer

WINNIPEG (CF) - Thirty-three years ago a group of Prairie busi- nessmen and citizens set out on a mission-to complete the Hudson . bay railroad.

! That mission was fulfilled. Now.

their forebears are bent on I new crusade. Through the Hudson Bay Route Association they are beating . the drums to awaken western in- dustry to the advantages of doing business through Manitoba's sub- Arctic port of'Churchill.

Their latest move is the publica tlon of a booklet. "Imports Pav For Exports." Its 82 pages are filled with statistics. comparative tables. facts and photographs on the IP01? located 610 miles north of Wiiini- PG!-

SHORTER ROUTE

Mileage is one of the chief selling points. The booklet notes that the distanc pool. is 2,936 miles. From Mont-I real through the Cabot strait it is 3,007 miles.

By shipping from the Prairies direct to the Churchill dock the time and cost of trans-shipping from the Lakeliead to Montreal is eliminated. Freight rates are also lower.

Publication of the booklet was well-timed: the port last fall ended its busiest season in history. Dru- ing the season from July 23 to Oct. 20 a total of 13,007,845 bushels of wheat was shipped to the United Kingdom. The 33 incoming vessels ea record number-4-unloaded 3,745 tons of general cargo. ranging from automobiles to candy, for de- livery to western centres.

But the ships returned home with only whcat and flour In their holds. The Hudson Bay Route Associa- tion waiits ships to sail away with goods manufactured on the Prai- TIPS.

Thc associatcon says further de- velopiiiviit of traffic over the hay route is up to western business- men. rctailers. wholesalers. dlstrib-I utors. importers and exporters.

MANY SAFEGUARDS

It points out that physical haz- ards havc been overcome through

e use of radar, gyro , echo depth sounders, direction find- ers and radio on ships passing through the ice-endangered strait.

The department of transport has established lights. beacons, radio. icebreakcrs and an aerial ice re- connnlssance along the route.

The Hudson Bay Route Associa- tion began its mission in 1923 when,
