Ottawa, Nov. 47; —The reasons “for the ¢ order iasued' ft in the
Hazelton Townsite case by. which the application of: Grand Trank
Pacific for a station at South Hazelton ‘i is granted are ‘get forth in a
judgment written by Commissioner McLean, made “public. Tere.
Mr, McLean says:-

° “Phe | reasons for judgment: and’ the draft order i in this appli-
esition have been allowed to stand for a limited tine because ‘of the

" representationa of counsel: répresenting -eertain interesta in“’and

* ground New ‘Hazelton... It was reported ‘that new and material
evidence could be submitted and a limited time was allowed so that

_ the Board might ‘be’ satisfled from the statements indicating the
nature of. the evidence to. be. submitted. whether a. rehearing should |
be: ‘gtanted. There are now before’ the Board. telegraph . atate-
ments from. the Board. of Trade of! Old" ‘Hazelton. favoring. the
South Hazeltén . location...

Trade meeting passed: the resolution in question,
that a indjority’ of the members of:the Board of Trade are opposed
- to. having two" stations and favor a single station at New Hazelton.
It: is alleged in the: ‘course. of -these counter telegrams that the
approval of the South Hazelton location i in addition to New Hazelton
will tend to prolong the townsite. controversy, whieh has bean a
Brent detriment to “business: generally. .

ist “outlined ‘in, the: preceding. ‘géetion, / it is fot ‘concerned with
whether two. townaités grow. where one grew before, . There may
be abuse in the matter of the location: of the. townsites; there may
“be: tod many of them: ‘some of them may be simply the. capital-
-ization of an iridescent optimism; but be this’ ag it: “may, there is
not within the four corneps of the Railway Act any statement ‘that
