Nehru was among the listeners OMINHSC. figure asked (Continued from Page 1) Mr Reids statement that the CPR had then appointed a manager of the smelter works, who earned on the business under the name Canadian Smelung Works on its behalf. Mr. Reid said the ofticers of the CPR bought the smelting works as a physical body from a company. When it came into the hands of the CPR it had apparently been held by the CPR as an asset.

Mr. MacPfierson asked if the officers of tbe CPR were buying it personally or as trustees. Mr. Reid said they were buying it as trustefes. The smelter manager had been appointed on behalf of the CPR.

The smelter had been carried on CPR books at its $200,000 cost. The CPR book value of the Columbia and Western Railway was $600,000. There was no listing for the land acreage. MOVE INTO CONSOLIDATED Mr. Doherty referred to Mr.

Reids statement that for the purpose of amalgamating share acquisitions in three other mine companies and the Rossland Power Company, a company called Canadian Consolidated Mines Ltd. was incorporated in 1906. One month later the name was changed to Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada, Canadian Smelting Works was sold to Consolidated for 7,500 shares of its capital stock. Mr.

Doherty wanted to know If this was CPRs first move into Consolidated. Mr. Reid said it was. Mr. Doherty wanted to know if this involved the Heinze smelter works.

Mr, Reid said it was that property, plus any share and growth that occurred in the interval. PLAN FOR PROPERTY Mr. Doherty referred to Mr. Reids statement that for holdings acquired in other companies, CPR received 18,014 shares of Consolidated, which resulted in CPR holding initially 25,514 shares or 54 3 per cent of the capital stock of Consolidated. Mr.

Doherty asked if this represented CPRs second move into Consolidated. Mr. Reid said there were not two steps by CPR. There had been a plan to amalgamate these properties. Mr.

MacPherson asked If all these transactions were part of the orderly development of the area. Mr. Reid said he would agree with that statement. Mr. Doherty said that at present CPR held 51 4 per cent of the capital stock of Consolidated.

Mr. Reid Bgreed. Mr. Doherty asked If it was not true that over the part 55 years CPR had controlled Consolidated by owning more than 50 per cent of the shares. Mr.

Reid said there had been effective control, but not voting control throughout the period. At the lowest point, the CPR owned 41 4 per cent of the stock. EFFECTIVE CONTROL Mr. Reid said the other shareholders were not known to one another and therefore the CPR holdings were considered effective control. Mr.

MacPherson said It was generally accepted that if there was a 30-per-cent holding. It involved effective control. Mr. Reid said that was true but in 1924, there was the question of whether the CPR could have named the majority of the directors. The CPR could name only its propotrion.

It had been the practice of the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. to manage its own affairs. Mr. Doherty said the CPR 1958 annual report listed shares of Consolidated under CPR ownership, at an estimated value of $17,046,561, representing 51.4 per cent of the outstanding capital. Assuming the CPR still owned 8,000,000 shares today, the market value of the shares would be $168,00,000 at $20H a share.

Mr. Reid said that would be right, basing it on market value. Commissioner Anscomb said it was also assuming the CPR did not sell its shares all at once CPR counsel Ian Sinclair said no one should get excited. CPR would not be selling them today. Mr.

Doherty then asked for the revenue CPR derived from consolidated. NOT RELEVANT Mr. Sinclair said a question such as this might be relevant under another section of the royal commissions inquiry, on railway earnings from non-railway operations. It was not relevant to the issue of the statutory rates on export grain, the purpose of the current hearing. Consideration should be given to withdrawing the question.

Mr. MacPherson said the witness would be available later. Mr. Sinclair said either Mr. Reid or a qualified witness would be available tt it was decided certain information wraild hr brought forward.

Mr Doherty said what Mr Sinclair was suggesting was that I the commission might deal with! only one section at a time. It was Mr. Doherty's submission' that all matters were being dealt with at all times. Mr. MaePnerson said that Since an issue was new involved, the question would be held in abeyance.

The commission would reserve its ruling and discuss the matter. WINTERING DUCKS TOFINO, C. (CP) Some ducks and 8,500 geese were shown a game survey of this part of the Vancouver Island west coast.
