Report Expected

By RALPH CAMERON

Guardian - Patriot Staff Writer

Amid a welter of speculation on the soon-expected report of the Royal Commission on Elee- tora! Reform, two items appear to stand out as almost virtual certainties for proposal by the wommission.

First, and the matter which has provoked the most and

sometimes bitterest. arguments, | fis that of increased representa. |

tion in the Legislature for the City of Charlottetown and the Town of Summerside.

The second, also the cause of much controversy is that

of eliminatior of the multiple Hand

vote.

Greater representation for) Charlottetown has long been

‘ -glaimed as a logical right by

urban residents, due to the number of voters who live: in the 5th Queens electoral district which includes the capital city.

In briefs presented to the DesRoches Commission, during its several hearings held across the Island, proposals on this matter ranged all the way from no increase at all, by the Fed- eration of Agriculture, to #& jump to 10,.members from the present two, by the City itself th its brief. gos INCREASE CERTAIN?

Despite expected criticism, ‘and that undoubtedly will come regardiess of what the Commis-

——slon—proposes—in__the matter | there can be little doubt it w

@uggest some increase; however smali, for the city, .

What will cause the expected criticism will be the size of the proposed increase.

If population, alone, were the deciding factor, it has already been pointed out in one brief

VOTING LIST

One proposal heard several times during Commission hear ings was that there should be a- provincial voting: list.. It seems unlikely now. that this will be Suggested in the report, espec- fally should the Commission re-

presented the Commission that the 5th District of Queens has more people than the entire | County of Kings.

Obviously, the Commission is not going to pemmere any change ao sweeping as to give the city 10 members and the eastern county only two.

MIDDLE GROUND

But it has fo find some mid- die ground a compromise | solution which will be as ac eeptable to both sides, as com- Promises usually are.

And it is this undeniable situa- tion which provides an area for interesting speculation.

Perhaps as educated a en the ultimate decision as is Possible at present, would be that Charlottetown will be given

This could theoretically give special consideration to those people primarily concerned with the farming, fishing .or tourist inéustries. The North Shore tourist area was espec- fally noted in this regard.

However, it is expected that these speculations, as well as many other election matters brought to the attention of the Commission, will be settled in the eagerly awaited report.

It is believed the report will be presented to the -coming session of the Legislature, which opens on the 22nd of this month,

While it is impossible to say, as yet, how many fishermen will take this year’s course, ~ Mr; Fraser pointed out that the 1961 course was taken by some %6 persons and has proved invalu- able in the development of one of the newest phases of the Is-

At the completion of the course a department of transport offic- ia! from Halifax will hold exam- inations, and successful candi- dates will receive their tem- porary master’s certificate. This cerfificate must be renewed every year. although no ‘further “examinations are needed.

The course included numer- ous aspects on seamanship in- cluding navigation, safety pro _cedures, and several others.
