BOARD OF TRADE
[Welland Tribune, 8 December 1910]
Humberstone board of trade met Tuesday night in the township hall. The most important business was receiving report of incorporation committee. The committee reported that proceedings were under way to incorporate as a village and laid before the board a plan of the proposed new municipality. It differs from the plan originally proposed in that it does not include the portion of the township west of Port Colborne. According to the new plan the south boundary is Killaley St. The proposed village will contain 670 acres, or about 450 acres exclusive of streets. A petition is now in circulation, which will be presented to County Council in January, and this body will complete the incorporation of the village, if the necessary conditions are complied with. It is necessary to have one hundred signatures to the petition.
The special committee in charge of this matter consists of J.J. Wichman, (president), F.A. Ward, L.R. Snider and L. Kinnear. Mr. Kinnear was not present at the meeting.
The question of amalgamation with Port Colborne or fire protection were not discussed.
Communications were received from Toronto board of trade, asking that a delegate be sent to Toronto to participate in forming a Provincial Board of Trade, and also a delegate to go to Ottawa with a provincial deputation to urge the government to deepen the Welland canal. A resolution was passed favoring the deepening of the Welland canal, but not to send delegates to either event.
