Against this the Government receives cleared land, on which no valuation can 

 be made, and houses and out-buildings valued as follows : 



Houses $47,572 00 



Barns, etc 15,708 00 



$63,280 00 



Deducting the value of the Buildings from the total cost of the settlement to 

 the Government — transportation charges and other incidental expenses not con- 

 sidered — we get : 



Total cost •. $143,168 66 



Value of buildings 63,280 00 



$79,888 66 

 or approximately the amount of cash paid out. 



It is evident, therefore, that the Government has paid approximately $8Q,000 

 to get back the land, cleared and uncleared, set aside for the Soldiers' and Sailors' 

 Colony at Kapuskasing, with the exception of the twenty lots held by settlers still 

 remaining in the Colony. At this cost, it has satisfied the hundred settlers that 

 the Government wanted to deal fairly by them. Indeed, it might be said that most 

 of the settlers would admit that the Government had treated them generously 

 rather than merely fairly. 



Respectfully submitted by, 



(Sgd.) J. A. GuNN, 



Chairman. 



(Sgd.) Albert H. Abbott, 



Secretary.
