Ordained and enacted into a law in Council,
this day of A. D., 1911.
LAKE COAL MOVEMENTS FOR 1911
WILL ESTABLISH NEW RECORD.
Reports issued by the superintendent of the
American and Canadian canals at Sault Ste. Marie
indicate that the coal movement for 1911 will exceed
all former figures. During the first three
months of navigation, April, May and June, 4,209,-
2ba tons of coal, including both hard and soft,
were moved, as against 3,992,712 tons in the same
period of 1910, an increase of 216,573 tons. The
increase is exclusively in soft coal as the movement
of hard coal is slightly behind that of 1910.
The total movement of coal through the canals
for the navigation season of 1910 was: Hard
coal, 1,658,844 tons, and soft coal, 11,854,383 tons,
as compared with 1,412,387 tons of hard coal and
8,527,639 tons of soft coal in 1909.
If the present gain continues the coal trade of
the great lakes will show a sensible increase over
that of 1910, because it must be borne in mind
that a very considerable movement goes through
the Straits of Mackinac, which must be added to
that passing through the canals at Sault Ste.
Marie to arrive at the total coal commerce of the
lakes. The total coal movement on the great
lakes for 1910 was 22,838,700 tons and from present
indication it will pass the 25,000,000 mark during
1911.
The coal movement tabulated for the present
year is as follows:
Soft Coal. 1910. 1911.
Tons. Tons.
April 360,337 286,468
May 1.218,897 1,505,856
June 1,770,805 1,896,958
Total 3,350,039 3,689,282
Hard Coal. 1910. 1911.
Tons. Tons.
April • 179,596 52,932
May 287,446 213,879
June 175,628 253,178
Total 642,670 520,000
It will be noted that the coal movement during
April, 1910, was greater than that of April, 1911,
but this is accounted for by the fact that navigation
opened earlier in April, 1910, and very few
ships were moving in April of the present year.
