Freight Rates Advantage ls Mullified, Claim

(Continued_ from nagfr 1)

D. R. Tumbull. Its brief will be: presented to the Nova Scotia Gov-

ernment and to the Nova Scotia Economic Council.

The report cited percentage in- creases in freight rates on confec- tionary, soap, salt, sugar, and agri- culture products.

“Percentage relationship of C111“,

load rates on potatoes from Char- lottetown; P.E.I., and Listowel, Ont. to '1‘0ronto was 345 per cent on

Dec. 1, 1935, as compared with 223 i

per cent on July 1, 1927, and. 25 per cent on June 30, 1927," the re- port said.

“The railways contend that the competitive rates were forced upon them and despite the rates estab- lished, traffc still moves by motor truck. But than, what about ill- dustries located outside the fipllLl/J of direct competition? Arc they not handicapped? And to the ev- tent that file ilnndicap becomes burdensome? Arc they not forc to curtail business, close down or sacrifice capital and labor?"

The report stated reductions of

rates in Central Canada "have aut- ‘ omaticaily placed a trade barrier ,

against Maritime industries alld to

the extent that the competitive‘

rates directly or indirectly aflcct a. Maritime industry to that extent the railways are losing traffic fronl this section of Canada."

The report recommended the Board of 'I‘rade to request that:

"Competitive rates from points ill the Marltimcs to points ill Ontario and Quebec be effective throughout the year as in the case of rates on grain and grain products eastbound

UNIFURMITY 0F November Term TRAFFIC UWIS OfSapreme Court Opens At S’side

IS ABVUCATED? — l

National Safety Coun- cil Takes Steps For Greater Safety on Highways.

(C.P. by Guardian's Special Wire) ,

OVITAWA, Nov. 24—Nati0nal un- 1 iforrruty of traffic laws, more, drastic penalties for those who persistently disregard road rules and establishment of scientific statistics to determine causes of ac- cidents were urged today on the, National Safety Council as means of lessening highway dangers.

Dr. N. L. Burnette, insurance company official, made a plea for scientific examination of the hum- an factor in driving nccirlcntssug- gesting public health and public' safety forces should combine in seeking solutions to the problem. There was little use. he held, in saving a life from disease only to have it taken by accident.

Dr. Brunette conlpluillcrl that existing statistics were of little use as they failed to ciisclosc under- lying causes of accidents He ad- vocated mental and physical ex- aminations of all persons involved‘ in accidents.

Criticizes 'l‘csts

J. A. Stonclnan of the Board of Railway Commissioners. speaking on means of preventing lcvelcrcss- ing accidents, criticized tests given applicants lil Ottawa for Ontario driving pcrlnits on tile ground they were lllaflfflllllif‘ for license to drive all automobile possessing‘ much the same power to kill or maim as a locomotive.

Mr. Stoucman urged institution of tests of eyesight and _pl ‘sicrll condition. He urged also uniform- ity of driving laws for the whole

charred timbers were still smould- ering when the tent was set up. The canvas "council hail" later gave way to temporary wooden quarters.

There ,ls one comparison be- tween the first “permanent? hall and the new one. Financial difii- culties delayed occupation of both. The "permanent" hall of 1886 cost only $1280 but civic finances were so scanty that F. W. Senteil. con- tractor, refused io hand over the keys until it was paid in full.

For two weeks aldermen were un- able to move in-and later, when the $1280 had been paid, they stood up at meetings because there was no money to purchase furniture. Today the old walIs still stand, housing the variegated stock of a. junk company.

Occupation of Vancouver's 1936 hall was delayed bcfore construc- tion started. Legal entanglements ovcr the validity of sale of “baby bonds," short-term debentures bear- ing 10w interest, held up work af- ter decision to build had been reached.

When the 1886 building was ab- andoned lthe council moved to a red-brick market place, and civic officials took possession of the show place for cattle, poultry and vege- tables.

For 30 years the hall was suffic- ient for Vancouver's needs but in_ i929 Point Grey and Vancouver were amalgamated with the city and the civic centre was moved to an ofilce building. '

The new structure is located at Fairview, a residential district, ai- ter years of argument over choice of location. It overlooks the busi- ness section, harbor and mountains in the north.

Exodus from present offices has already started and." after Dec. 1 business will be handled altogether from the new building.

But Mayor G. G. McGeer, moving spirit in the campaign for the structure, wil1 scarcely use it. A mayoral election will be held Dec. 9 and Mr. McGeer has announced he will not seek re-election.

Train Stopped When Dog Ilurt

LIVERPOOL, England, Nov. 25— (CP)—-A black mongrel terrier ran four miles in front of an electric train on the overhead railway at Liverpool and held up the train ser- vice for half an hour.

The train, filled with passengers was leaving Brunswick Dock when the dog was seen running ahead. Twice lt crossed the live rail. Fin- ally the dog fell exhausted, with all injured paw at Alexandra Dock. A platelayer took it back to Bruns- wlckStation, where it escaped and ran ofi‘ as fast as its injured paw would allow.

The dog is believed to have fol- lowed a passenger up the steps at Brunswick Station and so got on the line.

City Pays Rent In Horse-shoes‘

LONDON, Nov. 25—tCPJ—Quaint customs of the 13th century were revived in the Law Courts, Lon- don, when the King's Remembran- cer, Sir George Bonner, attended to receive from the City Corporation quit rents in respect of two prop- crties which have long since lost their identity.

The properties are described asa piece of waste ground called the Moors, in Brldgenorth, and “a ten- ement called the Forge in the par- ish of St. Clement Danes," which, according to recent discoveries, stood on the site of Australia. House in the centre of the metro- polls.

For the Moors, A. F‘. I. Pickford, the city solicitor, solemnly produc- ed a new hatcllct and biiihook with which he severed two “faggotsfl which were, in fact, little bundles of twigs. For the Forge, he count- cd out with due ceremony six an- cient and immense horse-shoes and 61 nails. both of which have been in possession of the Crown for more than 500 years. ,

The horse-shoes are supposed to have been made for Flanders hor- scs ridden by Knights Tenlplar on a neighboring tilting-ground.
