"The ship. being basically an lee-breaker. could also serve in emergency winter service on the same route, as the period o! use on the 8t. Lawrence is limited.

importance 0f Project At Skinners Pond Emphasized

orrawa, Sept. 29 _ (Special) — Improved engineering methods and practice will make possible a. harbor construction 10b in Prince County for which representatives have been clamoring for nearly seventy-five years. J. Watson Mac- Nsughti» MP. for Prince and par- li' ‘ y assistant to the Min- ister of Fisheries. told The Guard- ian here today.

He was speaking of the project- ed boat harbor at Skinner's Pond for which a vote of $50,000 was authorized by the Commons yes- terday. In past years, the Public Workers Department had turned thumbs down _on a harbor at this locality on grounds that 1t was impractical and involved engineer- Illg difficulties too great to over- come in the light of the projected barber's importance.

"I am told", Mr. MacNaught said, "that improved methods of handling sand now make this project at Skinner's Pond quite feasible. It is the matter of a. cut through the beach to e. pond, to- gether with the building of break- waters.

First Installment

"The vote of $50000 is only what might be termed the first install- ment for construction of this har- bor. It may easily cost five or six times that amount before the har- bor is completed. It's a highly tech- nical job requiring knowledge of the movement of sand on the coast".

Reminded that often there is a delay of years between the voting by the House of Commons of an amount for-a construction project and its actual performance. Mr. MacNnught said he anticipated no great delay in the Skinner's Pond harbor, It would not have been put in supplementary estimates at this time, he said, had the Min- ister 0f Public Works not intend- ed to go ahead with it. At pres- ent some 76 fishing craft oper- ate from the Skinner's Beach, he added. The job will be done in two sections, one the cutting through the sand to the pond, and the other, the building of the breakwaters.

Other Expenditures

Smaller amounts are provided in the engineering branch of Public Works estimates as follows: Canoe Cove, $10,000 to cosnplete break- water repairs: Launching Pond. 0112.000 to complete the existing boat» harbor: Souris. 013.000 to complete breakwater repairs: Summerside, $0,000 to reconstruct I-lolmanh Wharf of which ceocc 1s a rcvote, and 05AM to com- plete improvements at Wood Is- lands. .

In timatos of the architectur- sl branch of the Federal Works Department, s sum of 060.000 is marked as the further amount re- quired for a public building at Charlottetown. As far so can be ieernedmt the moment. no immed- late plans have been made to be- gin construction on this building whose total cost may run to s million dollars.

Premier Stresses Need Of , Cheaper Farm Power

Here we have tremendous advant- ages over many of the large in- dustrlal areas in the U. S. It must be because the people have no faith in their own country and will not invest their money here."

The Premier went on to speak of the lack of electrlcityn-"and we pay ‘plenty for what we get." He stated that his power bill was some $69 last month and he fig- ured that a farmer in Ontario would pay only $29 for a similar amount.

“Who's making the money?" he demanded. "I would like to find out. There's something rotten here and it's up to you gentlemen to get it changed."

Here the Premier suggested s similar project to T.V.A. so that "we could get power at 1 cent per kilowat instead of the present 3 cents."
