BETTER WINTER SERVICE.

It is the general desire of all that our Ing “r°n“°m°m' nude In advance wil

winter communications with the main- me N°B"“‘d P' E' hind Bmw” mr

and by steamer. mail and telegraph shall be improved. To that end The Guardian has all along contended that there should be close connection maintained between the Government railways on both sides of the straits and the Government steauiers.

In that regard we have been better served this winter than in some past years. But

there was a long break of twelve days recently during which the steamers dld

not cross and for a much longer time we have been dependent upon the ice~boat

service at the Capes for the carriage of the malls. We cannot do without the Capes route. Winter after winter the 59005945! arises, and will arise until cur

arrangement seems absolutely neeessa

When the mails go by the Capes tbeywly r°“"l"ly`

must of necessity pass over the N, B, and

P. E. Island Railway, and then there is,

the same necessity for prompt gqpngop: ion with boats by that railway as there _

on this aide. We are glad W warg,

that arrangements have been about com~

pleted for the special trains required for _ the prompt carriage cf the malls between Sackville and Tormentlne. So far good. But there is something still to be desired totzive assurance for tile future. and to prevent the loss of time which has been too frequent in the past when transfer-

ring the mails from the steamer route to the Capes route and vice versa. What

is needed is to first get the best method of handling our winter mails and then

have the arrangement so fixed on a pel- manent basis that it will work without

friction from year to year.

work is arduous, sometimes dangerous and their responsibilities are not small. The uncertainty as to when they may be needed prevents them from obtaining other employment in February and March.
