MacDonald for the Canadian Legion. Mr. Melvin MacQuaid represented the Sourls Board of Trade and questioned the C.N.R. on one point-

PIIEMIEB MATHESON

Premier A. W. Matiieson spoke briefly in general terms about the application during the after- noon. Ho recalled that the Hills- borough Bridge had been con- demned s few years ago for rail traffic and at present it appeared as though a new bridge might be part of the Trans Canada High-

way.

He stated that the bridal should be wide enough and bid Ollolllll to accommodate rail traffic and suggested that the rail line be- tween Lake Verde and Mount Stewart might be abolished in favor of n W0! "10

bridge.

He said that the people of Prince Edward Island wanted good transportation service and thought there was some common pound between rail service and road service for s satisfsctofi! solution.

After the hearing was opened Mr. Grshnrn mcpouslll outlin- ed the C.N.R. plan and called on his first witness Mr. Hayes. Un- der cross examination Mr. Hayes stated that train schedules would be rearranged to give better ser- vice during heavy freight seasons.

He stated that freight trains would run three days a week In most sections and where neces- sary, extras would be used. He noted that many extras are be- ing used here at present. He also stated that this type of v is being used throughout the Do- minion in every Province.

Mr. Hayes stated that the C. N.R. would continue to operate trucks as at present and they would handle any additional busi- nggg which might result from the cancellation of trains. He did not

nan NEWS nsclrivnn - Mr. poled

to years nns was s

of the University of Toronto in Arts. He produced a number of re- ports on train schedules. - - gers conveyed and the economics of the , posed changes. The economics of the application show- ed that the C.N.R. would spend about 8100.000 less under the pro- plan than they now spend on the present service.

The reports also showed that there were 1.031 extra freight trains operated in the Province last year.

According to the proposed serv- ices tho -C.N.R. will make three freight trips during the week be- tween Chnrlotteiown and Murray Harbor In the summer months and two trips a week from Char- lottetown to Georgetown.

The summer service between Charlottetown and Elmira will be four trips a week for two months and two trips a week for six pionths.

From Charlottetown to Tignish there will be three freight trains

mer period. All winter services will be the same as the present.

Mr. Mills thought passengers could be adequately handled by the existing bus service and that the C.N.R. would be quite pre- pared to handle the mail If the Post Office desired to give them the contract.

Under cross examination by Mr. J. O, C. Campbell. Mr. Mills stated that he did not know what it cost to operate he Island Divi- sion for one year but that he had the figures on the traffic earn-

ings. Mr. Campbell t h e n surmlzed that Mr. Mills could not say

whether in any normal recent year the operations of the C.N.R. on the Island had been profitable.

"How much did you save by the substitution of diesels in the Province?" asked Mr. Campbell. to which Mr. Mills replied he did not have the answer.

in referring to a Guardian news item of March, 1955, Mr. Campbell stated that Mr. Mills had been quoted as saying there would be only a staff reduction of 23 men and he (Mr. C k ") asked if this statement were cor-

rect.

Mr. Mills stated it was and Mr. Campbell then pointed out that the railway proposed to save half of their 3100.000 through the lay- ing off of these employees.

Mr. Campbell asked if any esti- mate had been made of the loss the railway might suffer If a tri- weekly service were instituted. Mr. Mills stated he has assumed there would be no loss.

Mr. Campbell suggested that the shipper would look for some other service to transport his products. EXTRA TRAINS

Speaking of extra trains Mr. Campbell asked: "If you cut out daily trains and employ trl-week- Iy service instead would you not need more extras than before?"

Mr. Mills replied that the num- ber of extras required would he arrived at in the following man- ner. The C.N.R. would base Its calculations on the 1954 figures. They would take the total number of cars handled over the Island Division and estimate the nuni- ber of trains required to handle the freight for a year.

Mr. Campbell then asked I the C.N.R. proposed to run freight trains twice as long so the ones now in operation.

Later Mr. Campbell asked Mr. Mills if he would deny that s trl-weekly freight service would be disastrous to the potato in- dustry of the Province; if it would be a serious matter for the de- livery of gas and oil in the Prov- Inco;' or if It might result in the

bllshment of oil tanks in Sourls and other points.

Mr. Mills stated he would deny the question about the potato in- dustry while agreeing that there could he the possibility of estab- lishing oil tanks for the storage is oil h-om ships nt various cen-

es.

Mr. Csmphel then asked if the type of passedg car used on P.E.I. proved very attractive and inducivc with their oil lamps and coal stoves.

Mr. Mills replied they were as attractive as many of the trains on the branch lines on the innin- land.

Mr. Campbell inquired about the possibility of road conditions preventing the delivery of ex- press. He referred. to spring or fall weather when weight: restric- tions were placed on the high- Wlllrs. He suggested that these conditions would prevuu thg speedy delivery of goods and that Perishable goods would be lost.

Mr. Mills stated that accord- in: to the proposed plan extras would be run when needed.
