UNDIITA

The Maritime Board of Trade had ltl brlgin at a meeting in Halifax in October 1896 through a joint effort of the Councils of the Boards of Trade of Halifax and Saint John, and was largely bmuiht B50"! by a subject much under ‘llcussion at the time of "Maritime Union."

The first president, the late A. M. Bell of Halifax, while favour- l"? 91°"? mrillieration of the three Pwvlflfes by the formation of such 5 Bmifd. as far as the writer knows he never committed him- self regarding the Union,

The Board started with a nucleus of some 10 affiliated

lottetown, Amherst, Moncton, Fred. ericton, Sydney, Kentvllle, Truro and Yarmouth. There had previous- ly been a Nova Scotia Chamber of Comme w. but its life was short —lro|n 1871 to 1884 when it dis- banded on account of waning in- terests on the part of the Boards in the districts outside of the capital cities.

The Mflriiime Board financed its Wfly B10118 for some years by levy- in! a per capita tax of 7c, but many of the smaller Boards with small incomes discontinued their memberships, and in 1922 it was decided the Boards of Trade of Saint John and Halifax as an ex. perlment shouldflnance other lhan expenses of the bnnuai meeting the miscellaneous expenses during the year.

Increased Attendance

In that year all Boards of Trade in the three Provinces. num- berlnlZ some 46, were notified they would automatically become mem- bers without financial obligation. hut would be expected to have delegates at the annual meetings

when a small registration fee would be risked, to take care of expenses. This hud a stimulating

effect, and from attendance of a small number consisting largely of the larger Boards there has been an increase in the number of Boards represented each year with the exception of the war years when activities in other channels interfered. _

There are at present 90 Boards in the three Provinces, all receiv- ing the different communications sent out by the Board, and all are entitled to attend the annual and general meetingl. In cases of mat- ters to be voter! upon at said meet- lngs each Board is entitled to one vote only. and that by nn sc- credited representative. All Boards are requested to file subjects and resolutions one month before meet- ings and also requested to have a representative attend in connec- tlon.

Change Introduced

At the last annual meeting n change was introduced whereby the Board was put on a yearly dues basis as follows: 10c per capita with a $50.00 maximum and a minimum of $5.00. All Boards have been notified of this change and results will not be known. probably, until the next meeting. The Maritime Board of Trade has been of considerable strength to the three Provinces since its inception, and f many commercial improvements can be cited by its activities. Its mrmy resolutions have, in the greater number~of cases. been favourably received by the Federal Government as well as Provincial Governments, and acted upon. There are, however,’ many that have called for large ex- penditures which can only be con- sumated by being continually work- ed upon~umong lhcse are improv- ed and enlarged transportation fa- cilities, hydro power, forestry, edu- cation. and hundreds of other equally important subjects.

The work of the Transportation Commission. a most important sec- tion of the Board, hud it done nothing else justifies its existence. Representatives of the Boards of the three Provinces met with the Premiers of the three Govern- ments, resulting in the appoint- ment of 15 representatives of the Governments and Provinces. and saved the Marliimes something 9v" $39,000,000 in freight rates since its inception, owing largely to the Maritime Frel ht Rates Act which had its origin ith the Com- mission. This section of the Board ls financed by the three Govern- ments. Through lhe guidance of this Commission many other mat- terl including improved transporta- tion by railways, ships nnd air have been accomplished and which could only be done by the watch- fulness of the Commission.

Mnrltimel Well Served

While there are other Associated Boards of Trade and Chambers of Commerce in Canada, they repre- sent one Province only-the Meri- tlme‘ Board is the only one repre- senting more than one Province. and the activities of the latter are in keeping with those of other Pro- vlnces.

The President of the Board. elected ’each year, rotates between the three Provinces. and formerly the Secretaryuhlps alternated with the Secretaries of the Halifax and Saint John Boards of Trade, but dflate years it has rested with the Halifax Secretary.

At the present time the 90 Re- glonal Boards within the Maritime Board represent a tntsl individual member-hip of some 4200. There

~ are registered 53 Boards in Nova

Scotla. 29 in New Brunswick and 8 _in Prince Edward Island. ___,_.b___.____.

us.

Police said they have checked with the supposed sender of the parcel at St. simeon and discover- ed that no package left the address. They said it would have been quicker to make a. shipment from St. Simeon to Bale Cclrrleau by bus. rather than from St. Simeon to Quebec and then by plans to Bale Comeau, 200 miles from here L‘

The parcel was weighed in on the airport scales and $2.S6 was paid for its shirment to Bale Com- can. It went lnto the loft-hand. forward luggage compartment of the airliner with other baggage of

at the Quebec airfield.

The taxi that drove Mrs. Pitre from station to airport drove her back to the station. The fact that taxi-driver Paul Pelietier remem- bered the woman with the package

was what fixed attention on the role of Mrs. Pitre. Police said that Mrs. Guay‘s

trip to Bale Comeau had been de- cided on a. clay or two before the Quebec Airways flight of Friday Sept. 9.

Relatives of Guay have said they understood the Jeweller intended to make the trip. himself to collect two suitcases containing jewelry samples at Bale Ccx-neau. where hc did business.

These two suitcases. police declar- ed today, are still at Bale Comeau in the care of a steamship com-

puny. Police said that Mrs. Guay. sub- stituting for her husband on the trip. had a return ticket from Que- bec to Bale Comeau. Her instruct- ions were to see to delivery at Bale Comeauof the pwkage airfreight- ed at the last minute and collect and bring back the suitcases. Police said Guay was not at the airport when his wife took off. H2 was the first among relatives to maike attempts to get st the scene of the wreck Friday night Sept. 9.
