Interim report no. 3 : Georgian Bay Canal Commission : transatlantic passenger and freight traffic and steamship subsidies / by W. Sanford Evans.: Z1-1914/1-3E-PDF

"This report presents certain statistical compilations which may form, at least partially, the groundwork for a study of the problem of passenger traffic on the North Atlantic in its relations to general traffic, and of the operation of Canadian mail subsidies and steamship subventions in relation to the general traffic problem. As material for these compilations returns were obtained from the steamship companies, showing traffic by vessels in detail, and for certain facts the ships' manifest at Montreal, Halifax, and St. John were checked over for the years 1911, 1912, and 1913. The compilation of this material occupied several months, but it was found necessary to start from the basic details in order to secure what was essential to supplement the statistics in official publications. The time available has not permitted any further working over of this material, nor the completing of such a study as would trace tendencies and suggest conclusions. The statistical tables must therefore be submitted with only a few descriptive notes"--Intro., p. 3.
