Premier Matlieson Speaks On Tax Rental Agreements

feet on the training program of his province. On the score of health grants from Ottawa. Mr. Matheson said that his province had been forced to turn down one of these grantsllast year on ac- count of the heavy expense which the province would incur by ac- cepting it.

On the subject of P.E.I. rall- ways. the Premier said that the Canadian National Railways has an application before the Board of Transport Commissioners. which if granted would permit the withdrawal of almost all pas- senger trains in the Province. This would mean more and heav- ier transport on roads built and maintained at provincial ex- pense. Today. he said. the Pro- vice finds maintenance of exist- ing highways a heavy burden. With much heavier traffic which would be occasioned by cessa- tion of rail passenger service. the highways problem would be- come more aggravated.

The Island Premier presented a telling argument for assistance to the province for education.

"We find that we educate young people in our Province who find it necessary to leave home to earn a living elsewhere. Our Province cannot absorb all college and high school graduates. We give them an education, but other parts of Canada reap the benefits of the education which we provide. Surely we can work out some way whereby those parts at our country can repay the debt they owe to the small Pro- vince of.Prince Edward Island."

Mr. Matheson said he felt a longer term than five years could be fixed for federal grants h lieu of taxation. provided always there could be an equalization grant to those provinces now find- ing it difficult to provide funds to meet minimum requirements for carrying on government.

The premier said he was "de- finitely opposed" to long term rigid tax-rental agreements, and that these agreements should be sufficiently flexible to meet chang- ing times and conditions. He ex- pressed apprehension lest the grants made under tax-rental agreements might be withdrawn after another 10 years.

SHOULD BE ELASTIC

lie favored some "more per- manent agreement" which would be elastic enough to conform to changing needs. The Island Pre- mier recalled that the federal grant for physical education had been withdrawn after it had been initiated. He understood that sim- ilar fate would befall the fed- eral grant for vocational train- ing. If the latter were terminat- ed, he told the conference. it would have a very serious ef-

Saurel To Try Again

Bell Island Still Isolated By Ice

ST. JOHN'S, Nfld (CF) - Tho squat icebreaker that failed to lead a supply - laden motor vessel through a creaking ice jam Tues- day will pack the supplies into her own hold and try to bash her way to isolated Bell island today.

The Saurel tried to clear a path for the motor vessel Trepassey Tuesday but ice closed in on the narrow wake and the two ships gave up the battle less than a mile from this part. But officials feel the powerful icebreaker can squeeze her own way through the 45-mile ice packed route and bring badly needed supplies to the island mining community. cut off for several weeks by the shifting ice jam. Meanwhile, outside this narrow harbor entrance and behind the raft of ice that seals the port, some 15 ships are riding back and forth waiting for a break that will allow them to slip into the harbor. Most of the vessels are coastal boats and fishing vessels.

On the rocky shore of Bell island and the mainland terminak point three miles away. two ferries are

held by the powerful ice mass that

has found its way into every bay and inlet on the northeast coast.

disappearing and unless the Saurel can crash through. supplies will likely be flown in by helicopter.

A helicopter was chartered by the Wabana Ore Company Tuesday night and some 40 people stranded on the Newfoundland mainland were flown home. But no surmiies were carried over.

Some people have walked back and forth on the ice from Bell island to the mainland but because of the danger of shifting ice this practice is being discouraged.

--On Monday morning 3 (HS. estrous fire took place at Maple-I WOW I193? Kelly's Cross in which the dwelling house of Mr. Matthias Malone was completely destroyed.

Mr. Malone stated that he had lit the kitchen stove and then had gone out to the barn to feed his livestock. when he noticed the flames breaking through the roof of his home. Mrs. Malone and her two children were still in bed and it was with some difficulty that they were got out to safety.

Nelklllmrs quiclziv uniitrred on the scene but there was very lit- tle that could be done to save the house but they managed to save a small quantity or furniture in the lower part of the house. it was believed that the fire had started from the chimney in the attic.

OTTAWA. (CP)-The federal government Tuesday offered to pay part of unemployment relief but stood pat on the general level of its present payments to provinces

for tax rentals.

As Prime Minister St. Laurent joined the 10 prem-

iers around a table in a fede encc, he put these points befo

ral-provincial fiscal confer- re them and then listened to

a host of plans from almost every corner of the country

for rewriting the Canadian t nomy.

After the prime minister and the provincial heads lied outfitted views in ;"zout five hours of discussion open to the press, they adlourned to meet to- day behind closed doors to draft an agenda for a full-scale fall con- fer:-nce and perhaps take earlier action on unemnlnynient.
