Hon Earle MacDoald said if the Federal Government would not consider building a causeway. there were certain private inter- ests that were willing and anxious to build it providing they were

given the VOTTFOISTOHB now being granted the Canadian National Railways.

Mr. Mat-lloiialrl said that as re- cently as the day before yesterday he was in touch wth a large in- vestment house in Montreal who are quite interested in the project. They seemed to think it would not be a difficult matter to raise as much as 3l00.000,000. "We are not entirely dependent upon the Fed- eral Government-all we want is the permission to build it and we will find the men who are willing to take it on" he said.

referred to a serious accident which occured recently in the Hud- son tunnel. "People are'now turn- log back to the George Washing- ton bridge". he said.

He urged the members of the

House to strengthen the hand of Mr. Neil A. Matheson, M.P. to 'whom he said a great deal of credit was due for brinlzinl the mat ter up in the House of Commons. He referred to the spendinl 0i s750.000.000. on the St. Lawrence Seaway, stating that the causeway project would be a mere snap of the fingers compared to the Up- per Canadian project.

Hon. Dougsld MacKinnon said there was a day when such a thing as a causeway between the Island and the Mainland was just a dream in his mind. He was of the opinion that it would cost bet- ween 200 and 300 million dollars. He noted that the cost is now esti- mated at and even it rock fill had to be procured as far away as Wallace. N. 5. it would not cost so much more. CITES FISHERY EXPERT

Mr. Macltinnon said thereywere two main objections to the building of a causeway. The first was that it might effect the fisheries in the area and the second was the dang- er of ice piling up during the win- ter time.

Dealing with the first. he Mid he had been a fisherman on the Northumberland Straits for a num- ber of years but in aplte of all his observations had sought tech- nical advice on the matter.

Reading from the opinion ex- pressed by a fishery expert. Mr- MacKinnon showed that lobsters would. if anything. become more plentiful aa a result of the cause- way. It was explained that lobster spawn floats on the water and is therefore scattered to a certain

water which would be consider- ably warmer as a result of the

construction across illi' Strait. Ground fish are not plentiful in the. Strait. so would not be affected, one way or the other.

Mr. MacKlnnon said he under- stood that thepiling up of ice was caused by currents. But if the cur-l rent was cut off. he could visual-l ize large areas of board ice on either side of the causeway. He said this was the experience of the engineers who built the Cahso causeway.

FLY IN THE OINTMENT

Mr. MacKlnnon said the biggest fly in the ointment was the Town! of Borden. He pointed out, how- ever, that when the carferry was. taken away from there, Borden would still have one of the finest. harbours on Prince Edward Is- land. With the Town already est- ablished there were great possibll- .- ities of new industry starting there i and they might be a whole lot better off than they now are.

”l honestly believe that if we all get together and ptill together the causeway can be realized with- -. in ten or fifteen years.” he said.

Mr. Morley M. Bell (Liberal). Fifth Prince. felt that if the pro- ject was feasible it should be pro- ceeded with at all possible speed. He said a number of people from 1 Borden had asked him about the matter. They were not particular- . iy opposed to the project but they wanted to know for sure what was i going to be done so they couldi make their plans for the future. i
