Clair Jeans was then appointed Convener of the Budget Committee in place of Mr. Webster resigned. Rev. G. Carlyle Webster than pre- sented the report of the Budget Committee. r While the amounts thus far received from the various congregations are not so large as they should be, yet they are some- what in advance of what was paid in this time last year. _ . Rev. A. B. Grant, D. D. was then introduced to the Presbytery and spoke at considerable length regard- ing the Forward Financial move- ment recently inaugurated in the Presbyterian Church in Canada. Dr. Grant spoke very enthusiasti- cally qf the splendid response being ' made to the appeal for money for the‘ work of the Church and espec- ially by the men of wealth. In mak- ing out the allocations for this Forward movement the sum of $2,895.00 was allocated to the Pres- bytery oi Prince Edward Island. All in the money that has. thus far been raised for the One Step Por- ward movement will be counted as part oi this allocation. A number of the congregations will thus already have raised the amount required of them. The prospects for securing sulflc- ient funds to cam on all of the work of the diflerent departments of the Church are bright. The Presbytery then unanimously adopt- ed the following resolutions: 1. That Presbytery having heard an outline of the plan as presented by the Secretary oi the General Board of Missions for the raising of a sum of $600,000.00 for the liqui- dating oi the present Budget De- ficit and for the Church Extension Fund approve of the some. 2.

That Presbytery appoint the Budget committee and the Home Mission committee oiPresbytery as the committee to follow up this mat- ter and make any adjustments that may seem best to them.

Connecting Port-Col- bome on Lake Erie with Port Wel- ler on Lake Ontario it provides s lighted passageway-day and nighi —across the Niagara Peninsula. The canal parallels the Niagara River about l0 miles distant. with a navigation minimum dept oi 25 feet, any vessel afloat except the largest Dwell!" 11119" and warships, could be accommo- dated in the locks. The freighter "Lemoyne," largest Canadian-bull! vessel, easily passes through with s cargo of 600,000 bushels oi grain, al- though she is 633 feet long with a 70 foot beam. Statistics show 65 pei cent. of vessels passing through thi Panama Canal in 1030 had a drsfi of less than 25 feet and 95 per cent had s. draft under 3O feet. ' For more than 2'1 miles between Port Colborne and Port Weller, thl canal follows an almost straight line. Ships will take about eighi hours to pass the eight locks and 21 bridges, though the passage has been made in six hours and l0 min- utes. More than 100 years ago the orig- lnal small canal was begun. Before that freight was taken overland from Queenston on the Niagara River to Chippewa Creek. In 1924 s cairn was unveiled at Allanburg to mark the spot where the first sod of the first canal was turned. Nine railway and 12 highway bridges span the canal. They are oi four kinds-vertical leaf, singli leaf rolling bascule, double leaf rol- ling bsscule, and swing-but mosi are of the vertical leaf type with a clearance oi 120 feet‘ above the water level when fully raised. All bridges are operated by electric motors and can be opened in one and a half minutes. There are aux- iliary gasoline motors. T0 provide the power required by lock and bridge machinery a Hydro- electric plant hcs been installed at the Flight Lock with three huge turbines. The canal is well lighted throughout the entire course, and g, telephone system links all locks, bridges, sub-stations, pcwgr-hquggg and executive buildings, Port Weller, an artificial bar-bin {firmed by the extension oi two em- bnnkments into Lake Ontario for more than a mile, has been im. proved by dredging and is pfgpfl“ already to accommodate men-go- 1118 ships by the score. At Port Coi- bome the entrance has also been deepened and a new channel ap- proach to lock No. 8 constructed. This is the fourth Welland Canal The first was completed by a private company in 1829.
