lty. Still Have’ Bottleneck

“But we still have a bottleneck at Borden and Tormentine." Mr. MacNaught pointed out. "I submit that as long as we have a ferry operating on two services - and by that I mean operating for rail- way and operating for automobile and truck traffic - we shall oon- tlnue to have difficulties. If trains are late the ferry must wait to take over the freight cars, express cars, mail cars and passengers.

“Long lines oi automobiles. wfiseqiielltly. are delayed in the heat at Borden or Twmentine and often must wait one or two hours before crossing. I believe this bottleneck would be lessened if we had an auxilliary ferry. An auxlillary ferry would not cost very much because it would not operate in the wintertime and would not need to be built as strong as the present Abegwcit.

"Ii we had an auxllliary steamer. it could operate on schedule and tourists or other persons wishing to cross over in automobiles and trucks would know with reason- able certalnty when the crossing could be expected and would not be there waiting many hours in the heat for a crossing."

Discussing the commercial as- pects of an auxiliiary ferry, Mr. MacNaught pointed out that such a. vessel would be of great help in the export of Prince Edward Island's products oi farm and sea. It would speed up the transport of perishable fish and fanm products and would expedite their movement to the New York, Boston and Philadelphia markets.

He concluded in urging Mr. "Chevrier to explore the possibilities of procuring an auxilliary steam- ship for the carrying oi motor vehicles across Northumberland Strait. '

Cites Freight Movements

Mr. McLure pointed out that in April this year there had been an in and out freight movement of 2.500 cars between Prince Edward Island and the mainland. April movement of potatoes alone accounted for 1.415 cars and it required a. grand total of 7,046 cars to handle the Island's 1947 potato crop. It was all long-haul freight he explained. and as such, hiidhly profitable to the Canadian Nation- al Railways: “

Mr. McLure endorsed the spend- ing of considerable sums on the "Apes/welt" and on the ferry terminals at Toi-mentine and Borden.

"I am not going to urge the con- struction or putting into service of another fen-v at the present time." he continued. "but l do want to say to the committee that nothing is too good for our farmers in the way of transportation and that is vniry we advocate from time to time that better service for trucks should be provided.

“In this connection. I want to submit that there should lit 110 charge for freight carried on the ferry over and above what it costs to haul the ssnie freight over a highway by truck. The rates s-ihuuld be reduced so that the terms of our union of 1873 will be met. In other words that the ferry be treated as though it were a highway."

In Time For Tourists n. reply to Mr. MCLUN’! eucli-

ion as to when the "Abtlwlfli" would resume service across Northumberland Strait. w. Chev- rier said:

"The information I have is that the plgnklng will take about l4 days and that fihe vessel 811M115 1" in operation in plenty of time to look after the tourist traffic.

John R. MacNichoi. Progressive Conservative member for Toronto- Davenport. said the facilitiesufor the ferry at Wood Island were ‘not what they should be and sexed Mr. Chevrier in take steps to im- prove them. MT. Gillie Mid 1119 present Prince Edward Island ferry should be replaced by I 11101191- but that apparently the subject 0i a tunnel was "a dead horse in this House." .
