St Johns property purchase praised by dock commission
The dock commission’s decision to buy the St Johns site for the grain elevator is defended against protests by dismayed owners who offered free land. Proponents say free sites aimed to raise nearby values, while the final plan, including extra land, secures future value and supports elevator construction in St Johns. Legislation to develop western water power is called for to ease fuel concerns.
