According to the old act pro- perty holders could be assesed as high as ten dollars and those with- out property one dollar. At pres- ent there are only one or two dis- tricts in the. Province which pay the full 510 tax. The "new law was requested by School Unit Number One T '

The Leader of the Opposition stated ihih a,conti'actor from the district. was supposed to build the school but the. contract was given to I

firm from Charlottetown. "The school cost more than ii should have, I wonder what was wrong." he stated.

The Premier replied that the Leader of the Opposition was

wrong when he implied that the Government built the school. "That was a matter under the jurisdiction of the triistees." he said.

Mr. Bell stated that the contract had been let. to the County (lon- siruction ompany Ltd. and that the people felt they had paid out far too much money,

Mr. Clark stated that the iriisteati were too slow last year in getting out their tax assessments with tfne result that the people did not get their assessments until about two months before Christmas. "Dec. 15 is no time to put otit tax assess- ments," he stated.

I Dr, W. .l. P. MacMllla.n stated he .knew the people of Parkdale were lnot very happy over the school i question.

"They had their own schoclbullt rlilld paid for, than they had to share the burden of buil:liiig a new school. Wiih another school going tip the situation will be defi-iiteiy worse in the future," he stated.

He stated that increased taxation was ruling out the benefits of the consolidated school and that he agreed with Dr, Frank MacKinnon that this Province would have to depend upon the one-room school for a long time.

He said it was apparent the House did not know what it want- ed in regard to transportation. After citing the changes that had

ing the past three decades he stated, "We want something that will be of use in twenty years time as well as today."

In speaking of the Canadian Na- tional Railways scrvice at Bar- den he reieri-ed to a section of the Duncan Commission report of 1926 in which there were stale- menls to the effect "That the pres- enf. car ferry is a much improved service but the service will in- crease”

The ieport stated that the ferry was not built for motor traffic. that there had been complaints and that the service was unsatis- factory. It also stated that the

railway admitted that I. second boat. was needed. In 1949 ii Duncan Commission

report stated that there is the danger of the present ferry be- coming disabled and the threat of a strike. It added that a second ferry was imperative.

This name. report also referred in the service at Wood Isldnds. It stated in effect that the service was only operated from the spring to the fall of the year: that storms and heavy winds interrupted the service and that neither of the two boats employed was an ice boat,

Transportation Commission ..

The Premier referred to the findings of the Royal Commission on Transportation in February 1951. The Province had made a presentation to the Federal Gov- ernment regarding the car ferry service between Borden and Tor- meiitine and the Commission re- ported that "The facts indicati- that the representations made by the Province are undoubtedly wel founded." '

In the brief the lawyers for the Province statnd thiit the position had impmved greatly since the regional hearings of the Commis- sion in Charlottetown and exam- ples of the improvement were (U The "Exorbltant rate charged to trucks had been reduced from 530 per truck to 33 one way and :4 re- turn; (D The second ferry S. 3 Prince Edward Island had been put into operation for the sum- mer months to operate from June 15 to September l5. but the Min- lster of Transport had indicated that if it did not pay its way this might be the end of the operation of the second car ferry during the summer months.

The Commlulon reported that it had reached the following con- cliisionii: "(in that the ferry ner- vice has been too ClO5PlV tied to the railway train schedules; (bi that the ferry service is regarded by the. railway administration as a part of the railway service rat- her than its a ti-anportatlon ser- vice to the people of the Province: and fcl that the attitude of the railway with respect. to trucks and biisea including the access -of these latter to the ferry approach- es iind the excessive chiirees made until recently for trucks. is an in- dlcatlon of unsatisfactory condi- tions.”

The Commission thin added that since the above paragraph had been written it had received

information that the C.N.R. had agreed to remove the pieraiie charges imposed on buses sp- proschlng the fery. Tourist Traffic The Premier stated that the

commission also pointed out that the tourist traffic to the Island would be hindered if an stleousti ferry servlcn were not provided. that it new ferry capable of carry- ing autos was needed: and that there appeared to be no dnuhl but that the operation of the nor- aen - Tlormentlne ferry servic- hiid not been satisfactory in tho past
