Welt was an event of greet portance in our trsnmoztation hill"! and she received a great and 1010114 welcome, by ‘tiaena from every walk of life. It was BPPwciated that this magnificent 5M1! called at Charlottetown where "PPYQUMIWM Biflifcen thousand citizens visited the ship while in port. The importance of this ship to Prince Edlward Island and to the rest of Canada with whom we do so much business, both in buy- ing ‘and selling can hardly be overestimated. '

The two steamers on the Wood Islanrh-Caribou route are doing a good Job. ‘Ironic there is grow. l"? Yl-PWY- The Pessimistic who doubted the necessity for this T011118 LII the beginning must now be completely dumbfounded. 1t must be remembered that Prince Edward Island is yet far behind the other Provinces in transporta- tion and every avenue opened up to us means increased business because it gives us an opportunity to expand that we did not have before. It is to be hoped that the road will soon be paved from Mill- vlew to Wood Islands and from Caribou to Pictou, and that the wharvea and general docking fos- ilitiea at Wood Islands will D ccmpleted without delay.

Recommendations

Automobile and truck traffic at both Wood Islands and Borden is increasing rapidly and we urge speedy action as follows:

1. That the Wood Islands im- provements as noted above be C0ml>lcted without delay.

2. That the lower deck of the M. S. Abegweit be levelled off so that automobiles. trucks and basses can drive on end off this lower deck when the upper auto- mobile deck is already loaded with traffic and thus avoid having to be loaded on freight cars at such times which causes delay and ex- treme inconvenience.

3. That proper rest room facil- ities will be provided at both terminals oi each service. 'I‘his has been urged for years. The Department of Health should take a hand in this imtter and de- mand that the present intoler- able conditions be remedied im- mediately. '

New trucking rates went into effect in 1947 on the Bord-sn- Tormentine route. This is a stop in the right direction and ls ap- preciated by the public. We reconn- mend a study of the tariff sheets dated Sepia-miner 9th, 1947 which is entitled “A Competitive Local Freight Tariff-Borden Tormentine Service." A point tvorthy of very serious consideration by the Canadian National ‘Railways ie that trucking services on the Borden-Tormentine route does not seem to interfere any at all with the freight carried by railroad but rather augments this business because most of the things that go by truck on that route would not go at all unless trucking fem iiities were available.

The perennial shortage of box cars and refrigerator cars in the

leader was in debt for $12,000.

Before the circuitous follow-up of each respective clue is completed, the spectator will find hmself pin- ning the guilt on first one then an- other suspect, but Nick Charles in his own wily way gathers them all together in the climatic scene and exposes the one individual who

' seemed least involved.

Western I-‘erry flex-vies

A proposed ferry service that ie causing a greet deal of interest

I. and ‘“ ‘ uche, N. B. It would appear that the possibilities of this proposed service becoming a valuable one to the Western part of Prince Edward Island as well as to the whole Province are such that it should receive vary favorable consideration.’ It may be a surprise to learn that the actual road drivlnpmlleage be- tween Charlottetown and St. John, NB. via West Point is several miles shorter than via Borden- Tormentine.

From the standpoint of truck- ing pickup and delivery sea-vice this proposed route has obvious advantages on account of the longer road route actually on P. n‘. I. which covers a larger num- ber of towns and villages on the Island and therefore gives them a. quicker shipping and delivery service than is at present pro- vided. In view of the large quan- tity of goods of all kinda we sell to and buy from Moncicn and 5t. John this is important. It would also .be valuable from a ‘Pourist standpoint. It would add consid- erably to local Government rev- enues from the gasolene and oth- er taxes.

Maritime Central Airways is constantly proving to be of great- er and greater commercial value to not only Prince Edward Island but to Nova Bcotia. and New Brunswick. It is the only Air service actually linking the cap- itals of the three Maritime Prov- inces, namely, Fredericton, Hail- fax, and Charlottetown. The r-iederlctan service and the new route from Charlottetown to Syd- ney wen-t into effect in 1947. The sydney route provides a daily ex- cept Bun-day early morning con- nection between Moncton, Sum- merside, Charlottetown, New Glas- gow and Bydney and return. This is a very valuable run for business men, for airmail and air express. ‘The Charlottetown. New Glasgow. Halifax run, and the trips to St. John, NB. and the Magdalene Isl- ands are becoming increasingly important.

The valuable freight services of- fered by this company is some- thing for which this Province, and others, should be grateful. Air service for freight is only in its infancy and Prince Edward Island is fortunate in being able to have right here ships and trained per- sonnel that enable the Province to keep in the forefront of the tremendous air cargo develop- ments ahead in the immediate future. These cargo air freight- ers may be the means of Prince Edward Island obtainlng- first position advantages in esipplying the fresh food requirements such as milk, fresh meats, eggs, but- ter, etc.. etc, to the rapidly grow- ing populations in Labrador and certain parts of Northern Quebec. This comlmitwe very respectfully oon-vmends Capt. Carl Burke of Maritime Central Airways for his foresight in building up the aero- plane equipment which they now

Bu: services

Bus services throughout the Province in i941 were well main- tained and slain proved of in- enintable service to our farmers and to om- merehenta. Over t/wo hundred thousand passengers were moved by but in and out of Charlottetown during the year. It is herd to estimate how much they spent in Charlottetown but it would prdoebly be in the vic- inity of a million dollars.

Several new bu: runs were put into effect including a morning trip Charlottetown to bourle re- turning early in the afternoon, a‘ fut tits-watt Umited nun from Charlottetown in Borden and re- turn with direct connections to and from all mainland points. The Sunday night service by bus tnroueh from sackville to Cimr- lotteicwn and from Bummerside l» ‘Ilfnish. lnvinl Baokville after the arrival of the Ocean Limited and aeolian trains Rom Montreal continues to be of great benefit Railroad tickets from mainland Points w P.

Mrs. Gordon MscKay and Mrs. Billl lscKay, Beech Point, were recent visitors to Montague.

Mr. Robert Knox, a former etu- dent of Prince of Wales College, has been employed as assistant in the Montague Post office to replace Miss Harriet Clair who has departed for Moncton.

Miss Annie MacEachern, presi- dent, presided at the meeting of the Young People's Society of the Presbyterian Church. Montague, Monday, January 12th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. S. D. Reid.

We have one l-ink only in winter through Bor- dven-Tomtentlne and if arwthinl happened there air freight could handle emergency supplies. The possibilities for regular shipments in the future are very great for air freight to this Island Prov- ince. and from the Province.

22. This Committee recommends

to the incoming Transportation Committee that they hold regular meetings at least once monthly in the office of the Secretary. We have received very splendid co- operation from the secretary, Mr. walthen Oeudet. , , 28. We very strongly recom- lnend that the incoming Trans- portation Committee twice year- 1y. or dune". hold special meet- ings solely th, railroad officials, meciei meetings solely with air officials, special meetings solely with bus and trucking officials. special meetings solely with Wood Islands officials, and ' e1 meet- ings solely with cove eat of- fielele. This is the one and only way that l. proper understanding of problems can by secured and a Donlbie solution found. The sec- reter! of our Board of Trade should be_ present at all euen meetings. .
