No Classification Change For Summerside Churches

SUMMERSIDE BUREAU

OF THE GUARDIAN .Summerside churches will con- tinue under the present general serv1cc classification in the mat- ter of electric light and energy rates asrecommended by the re- cent engmcering survey. as the re- sult of a motion passed over the dissent of three town councillors at a special meeting last night. .Nlayor W.A. Currie cast the de cidmg vote when the six council- lors deadlocked the voting at 3-3. Councillor Leo Wood, Robert Dew- ar .and Fred Arsenault voted against the motion while Council~ lors Elmer Newson, Dr. H.E. Clark. and WE. MacCausland were in favor of keeping the pre- sent classification.

The engineers survey of the Summersidle Light department re- sulted in a new rate schedule ef- fective January lst that is except- ed to result in lower costs for most users.

ASK CHANGE

The resolution resulted from a letter signed by representatives of all Summerside churches request- ing reclassification from commer-

MO‘NCTON — Canadian Na- tional Railways shore and marine officers here told Wednesday how the resources of the region were mustered to complete a difficult repair job on the car ferry Albegweit in two days, re- ducing to this minimum the len- gth of time the ship was off its New Brunswick-Prince Edward Island service.

Douglas V. Gander, vicepres- ident and general manager of the ON‘R’s Atlantic region, said final stages of the repair work on a commutator in an armatuie —intricate wiring and testing— have been conducted since the Abegweit returned to its Cape Tormentine-Boxden runs Man- day morning. While the vessel was docked at last week- end normal service across Northumberland Strait was sup- plied by the CNR ferry Prince Edward Island.

POWER RESTORE!)

Mr. Gander said power was restored Wednesday morning to the armature in the N10. 1 forward starboard propulsion motor, where trouble developed early in October, and ship’s officers reported the engine was “runn-

cial to domestic rates.

The motion to let the present rates stand was introduced by Councillor Clark. chairman of the electric light committee.

In support of his resolution Councillor Clark pointed out that the whole new rate structure was based on the recommendationsof the recent electrical engineering survey which included rates for churches as presently classified.

He said that consumer classifi- cations under the new system were being reduced to about four. from a total of about 25 different previous classifications.

He said that the new ones were made by experts in the engineer- ing survey field and contained provision of both capital and cur- rent production and distribution costs. He cited examples which indicated that, although the de- mand of churches may be requir- ed for loss than six hours weekly, the loss of energy in lines and transformers which must be main- tained in constant readiness for use by any individual church. could, at least in most cases. ac- tually result in higher electrical

CNR V.P. Tells How Repair Work Was Done On Carferry

David Blair of Moncton, gener-

al superintenden of the Maritime district, was in over-all charge of the tricky undertaking. RF. Wei-r of Moncton directed the steel erecting gang, with marine ser- vice squads under the command of the supervisor of marine ser- vices for the Maritime Provin- ces, Captain Douglas Ma-cLean of Moncton.

UNDER 60 HOURS

Mir. Balir said all the men who toiled around the clock to com- plete the rush repair job in less than 60 hours had given “out- standing” performances in both the planning and pnysical phases of the work. As result the ferry had been out of service for "an extremely short time" commen- surate with the magnitude of the work completed. '

“They are all to be highly commended,” Mr. Blair com- meuted.

Chronologically, the Ahegweit's adversity started early [in Oct- tober as it churned away from Cape Tormentine on a regular run to Borden. Chief Electrician A. Forbes Seeley of Amherst. eyeing a gauge, detected a slight

productions and distribution costs than the revenue return received from the present general service rate which is to be continued to the churches.

PRODUCE PROFIT

He said the new light rates had been established to produce a re- turn profit of about eight per cent to the electric light department. and to lower rates as suggested would result in any loss of an- ticipated total revenue having to be made up from extra taxation on personal property.

Dr. Clark noted that this was the first request that had been made to the council for special rates under the new structure.

He felt that other institutions such as the hospital and organiza- tions such as youth groups at the Y Centre and the K. of C. Centre, the service clubs, legion and lod» ges might feel they were also in position to make application for special consideration on electric energy charges.

He explained that the procedure being followed in the matter wal in line with that of other similar public utilities.

At that time the Albegweit and the Prince Edward Island were both on the Northumberland ser- vice, maintaining the summer service. Despite the loss of one motor the Albegweit stayed at work, in order to avoid inter- ruptions or delays in the move- ment of P.E.I.’s important agri- cultural export traffic and es- sential inbound supplies.

Meanwhile, an examination of the motor was made by the ship’s engineering staff under the dir- ection of Chief Engineer James Moore of Borden, along with ex- ports from the Canadian Gener- al Electric 00., Ltd; rushed to the Island from the CGE plant at Peterborough, Ont.

Christmas Pageant Presented

At Brae United

ALBERTON A three-part Christmas p a g e a n t entitled “The First Christmas" was pre- sented in Brae United Church hall by the Brae United Sunday school under the direction of the teaching staff and. their pastor Rev. Heber Kean. recently.

The story of the Savior's birth was told in story and song by the narrator's, Mrs. Neil Mac- Kay, Miss Audrey MacPhco and a male choir while members of the Sunday school formed the

vital machinery. But to get at it. it first was necessary to lift out a magnaframe weighing 14 and a half tons on top of the motor it self.

CNR officers in Moncton. aware that to drydock the ferry probab- 1y would mean its loss to the ser- vice for at least a week. were reluctant to take this step dur- ing the busy traffic period be- cause of resultant inconveniences to Prince Edward Island. Con- sequently, it was decided to keep the ferry in service while the five-week job of building a new commutator was undertaken by CGE at Petcrborough. It was also arranged that the repairs would be made by CNR person- nel while the ship remained at Bord l.

JOB FINISHED

Last Friday night. after the new commutator had been hustl- ed from Peterborough to Borden on CNR trains, crews set to work on the job that paradoxically was both heavy and delicate. They finished early Monday morning and the Abegweit sailed for Cape Tormentine on schedule a few hours later;

Despite an usually large ammmt of ice in North-umberland Strait for this time of year, and the fact the Albegwolt was operating on three motors until yesterday. no marble was experienced and the ship piled back and forth with only slight delays in arrival times at the two terminals.
