with 43 seats still undecided. with the Liberal and Progressives having candidates in all oi them and the C.C.l-I and Social Credit in all but one, anything could hap- pen.

If the election resulted in a stalemate a. new election or a co- 'aiition seemed the only possibili- ties.

Argument for and against the proposal by the C. N. R. to sub- stitute a bus service for its present mixed train service; together with a clarifying explanation of several questions that were asked of Mr. Frank A. Gaffney, chief of trans- port research fer the C. N. It... were the chief highlights of the final hearing which was held yes- tcrday in Summerside by a special committee of the Legislature in regard to the proposed change to bus service for passenger traificon Prince Edward Island.

Mr. Gaifney, in answer to quest- ions from Mr. A. S. Hopkins, man- ager of the Royal Bank in Sum- merside, and president of the sum- merside Board of Trade. emphas- ized that if the boat carrying train passengers from Tormentine was behind schedule, a stand-by bus would pick up these passengers when the boat docked, and this would permit the regular bus to run on schedule so that trans- portation schedule for passengers along the bus route on the Island would in no way be affected if the boat should be late. And he gave assurance that if the roads were blocked by snow the passenger carrying train would be put into service immediately.
