Transportation, personnel and effects $ 80. 00

In some cases privately owned land was used and title obtained by 

 agreement for sale with payments thereunder suspended for two years. This 

 method, however, while in certain respects apparently desirable is subject 

 to disadvantages. 



As a result of the prosecution of the work, which was dealt with in the 

 Departmental Reports for 1932, 1933, and 1934, there were Relief Land 

 Settlers on the land with their families, as follows: 



Families Souls 



At the end of 1932 184 1062 



1933 329 1763 



1934 499 2480 



1935 472 2342 



March, 1936 465 2325 



Those placed as Relief Land Settlers and remaining on the land at the 

 close of the fiscal year as above were distributed in districts and under super- 

 vision as follows: 



Supervisor District Number 



Fryer Monetville 10 



Greenwood North Bay 4 



Hough Matheson 97 



Hutcheon Holland Marsh and elsewhere . . 20 



Jewell New Liskeard 61 



Masse Kapuskasing 51 



Russell Port Arthur 139 



Sprague Cochrane 77 



Sundry Dryden; Sudbury; Markstay; 



South River 6 



Total remaining on the land 465 



By comparison with the 1934 Departmental Report and the March 31, 

 1936, Departmental Report, the number of settlers abandoning the plan in 

 1935 and the first three months of 1936 is readily established. 



The reasons given for abandonment have varied. In odd cases it has 

 been due to re-employment. The remainder were due to illness of one of the 

 parents, laziness, shiftlessness, loss of home and effects by fire, inability to 

 agree with neighbours, improvidence, domestic difficulties, and similar reasons.
