152 ADMINISTRATION OF THE PROVINCE

Colonization in the Province is progl'essing in a continuous und
l'egulur way. The counties situated in the North Westel'll pal't of the
Province (Abitibi and Temiscamingue) get the greatest number of
settlers; development of this region has been greatly accentuated by the
disC'ovel'y of important mineraI deposits in the last few years.

The egular colonization grants for the year ending the 30th June
1926, amounted to $939,000. This total includes an amount of $4,000
for work perfol'med on the recommendation of Colollization societies.
A sum of $143,236 was paid as premium for clearing land for the same
year as against $67,240 in 1925.

In 1926, the Department of Colonization opened 218 miles of
winter rouds, completed 230 of wagon roads and repuired 787 miles of
bad roads. Bridges and culverts built in the same period reached a
length of 12.422 feet.
