Mr. Bell's Remarks l Mr. R. R. Bell recalled that the ferry service has had its ups andy ldowns but that it has developedl linto quite a business in recentl years. i'It started with one boat: iiourteen years ago and the oper-.
ators are looking for it third boat I he slated. i
"I believe that the Dominion Government knows how impoitaiiti this inlet and outlet. is to the Pro-l vince. I was glad txi read a Can-l lzidian Press report some time ago" which quoted the then Transport lMinister Chevrier as stating thatl the Federal Government would. build an nulo ferry service be- .tween P.E.I. and N.S. to start in 1955. This boat is to rim between Wood Islands and Caribou butthel report does not. state who is to op-3 crate the new ferry. y
"To my mind the biisinesstherc has been only scratched. The lI.')llSlllF5S had increased greatly in the last. two or three years and will continue to increase in the; future."

"I can see a large business de- veloping. Our trucks will not re- turn io the Island empty. They will bring back freight from New- foundland and coal from Cape Breton.
”It would appear that the C.N. R. are casting longing eyes on the business. Apparently the resolu- tion came into this House on the information of such I rumor," he stated. Mr. Bell added that the late Presndent of the Canadian Marine Commission had suggest- ed that the ferry sdould be taken over by the C.N.R
service Reasonably Good
"It has been said that the. ser- vice down at Wood Islands is poor and inadequate. I think the service is reasonably good when you consider what the small com- pany is tip against. I think that service has been appreciated by the travelling public and by those who wish to carry freight.
"ft is not so long ago that there was no traffic from Prince Edward Island to the mainland becaiise the rates were too high. Trucks were being charged from 350 to 873. Thai went on for a number of years and continued despite the protests from this Province. It Northiimberlanrl into business.
"After the Nnrihtimberland Fer- iie.s put on a rate that was rea- sonable for any truckman to pay the CNR. had to reduce their rates. Now there is quite it large trucking business at Tnrmentine which is especially important to all Prince County. If we did not have the conipetition at Wood is- lands the truck traffic at Borden would be meagre.
"It appears that the only way to keep a satisfactory service is to liave the coinnctition lheie. If we turn the service over the. ON R. will have it all. Perhaps they would do away with the Wood is- lands-Cariboti service altogether or perhaps they would increase lilo mics at Borden analii

not vote against this resolution. it seems we got to no careful to guard against any monopoly in transportation by one company,” he concluded.
Hum Dougald Mat-Kinnon, Min- ister of Public Works and High- ways. who reviewed the history of the Northumherland Ferries Company Ltd., last week and who is a member of the i-ompany. slat- ed he was afraid that if the C. N. R. took over the. service there would be such a charm! U1! 3"- vice would be of no benefit to the Province.
"The C.N.R. would not cut their freight rates to one-tr-nth of their original charge if they were not .'nrced to do so." stated Mr. Mac- Knnon.
"Over the years we prolesied about their rates and they never ilistened to us. Since we started 'io operate at Wood islands they ,le:.ve asked us to increase our lrzilel and to meet them hiilf-way yThe C.N.R. would certainly in- crease their rates again if they. got control of the two services.

"There is no nioney in the sec-ll

Dr. W. .I. P. Mat-Millaii slated; he appreciated the cifnrts of the. .V.iiiislei' of Public Works and of
Mr. R. E. Mulch in gel the Wood islands service inaugurated. ”Those men who worked so hard for many years deserve credit. T
support the resolution," he stated. l Dr. MacMillan stated the ferrv I.-service was good but, Ihe boats

Once A Prolilrni
I-in recalled that r-.ir ll'r'iIisp0l- ialinn had once proved it big pioblem at Borden when the rates for a relurn late )giei'e S100 and (or a single fare .?wl.ll0. These IAIPS were cut in two by the Dominion Governmeni in lllfld.
He also condemned the pi'acIit'-o
oi charging the (IPIICII on the ferry service against Prince Ed- iv:u'd Island.
i Hon. Willi:.m Hitches. Provincial Secretary. quoted what he. termed a "damning statement" from the report on the bus franchise which was engrossed in the House last .yr.ar.
i Two of the clauses referred to lby Mr. Hughes read to the effect that there could be no giiai-antee against strikes and that an oflic- ial of the C.N. R. bad repudiated a number of the statements made by the C.N.R. representatives at a hearing last year.
Mr. T. R. Cullen, the seconder or the resolution stated the Wood Islands ferry service was of the utmost importance to the farmers in the eastern section of the Pro- vince. "The most important thing ll tluit we have an adequate ser- vice iii a rate we can afford to pay. I feel that we may not have that service too long if the railroad takes over. They should forget that business of making the rail- roiid pay."
Mr. Harold smith stated the service had been a wonderful ben- efit. to the farmers from the Smith-

em Queens and Kings area. He admitted that the present boats were inadequate but would not like to see the CNR. get control as the rates would likely go much higher and there would always be the threat of another strike.
Mr. Harvey Douglas stated that he did not have too much faith in the C.N.R. He recalled that protest: had been made to the C. N.R. about the closing of the I-lilleborough Bridge and that the railways had not listened to these protests. He stated that he was in favor of the service at Wood Islands and thought it must be popular judging from the number of people who used it.
Mr. .1. Brenton st. John stated that the service was it great help to the eastern part of the Prov- ince and to the Island as a whole.
Want Best Service
"We are not coiiceriied here with the people who are running the ferry seiyice. We want the people who can give us the best service over that route,” he stated.
"We should be interested in improving that ferry service. We should have an audit report here to find out something about it. As yet. we haven't found out one con- crete thing about that service.”
Mr. John A. MacDonald stated he was in favor of the resolution. He said he didn't care too much about who run the service but he was worried about the possibility of the rates being increased.
Mr. MacDonald stated that it had been impossible to get asur- ances from the C.N.R. about their policiee on the proposed bus litan- chise and that he would have a little doubt about any assurances from the CNR. that they would maintain the freight rates at the present level.
Mr. Frank Myers also endorsed the resolution. He stated that some of the faults of the present
service might be rising from the position of the harbor. It was his understanding that the harbor
had to be dredged e:it:h year and he thought that something should first be done towards iiiiproviug conditions at Wood Islands.
