at $4.50, everything considered. He wanted to know if any experiments 

 had been made in regard to this. 



THE CHAIRMAN (Senator Edwards) thought that when Mr. James 

 Beveridge, who operated a paper mill at Chatham, N.B., spoke the next 

 day, he would be able to shed light on this point. 



There was considerable discussion over the point of bringing in a reso- 

 lution forthwith on the subject of prohibiting the export of pulp wood. Mr. 

 J. M. Macoun was anxious to have such a resolution submitted immediately 

 upon the close of the discussion that afternoon. 



The Chairman held it would be better to have the matter dealt with 

 after the Resolutions Committee had reported, also after Mr. Beveridge 

 had presented his paper dealing with the pulp and paper industry in New 

 Brunswick.

The following were appointed a Resolutions Committee: William

 Hon. J. P. Burchill, Hon. A. B. Warburton. 



The Convention then adjourned.
