Mcllraith. Par- liamentary Assistant to Reconstruc- tion Mlnlster Howe told The Guardian's Ottawa correspondent today.

"Anyone conversant with the Maple Hills situation knows that it cannot fairly be described as a Dominion Government enterprise." Mr. Mcllraith said. “It was first operated by the City of Charlotte- town durlng which period there was some vandalism in the un- - occupied buildings, according to our files.

"The Dominion Government has consistently given the project fin- anclal support by making good 50 per cent of the operating losses and is ready to continue as long as it is operated as a housing project by the Province. It. must be remem- bered too that these emergency shelter developments have been complicated by the social factor all across the country."

Mr. McIlreiih said that while the record showed abundant evidence of the willingness of the Dominion Government to give full co-oper- ation in keeping up the Maple Hills project. final decision as to its future rested with the Government of the Province.

Planking Of ‘

OTTAWA. June 3- (Special)- Suggested repairs to the Prince Edward Island car ferry "Abeg- welt" have been s. subject for dis- cussion by the Federal Cabinet for the past three days, The Guardian was informed late this afternoon.

Point of contention. it is said here, ls whether the Department of Transport should authorize planking of the deck originally designed for the transport of freight cars. Steel and wood plank- ing on this deck, it has been rep- resented to Transport Minister Chevrier, would permit commercial trucks to use this deck of the ferry. It is understood that the Canadian National Railways, operatorsof the vessel are opposed to the planking.

If it is decided to leave the "Abegwait" in its present struc- tural condition, The Guardian is informed. the vessel will leave the

There has been controversy on the subject behind the closed doors of the Cabinet council, certain ministers contending that the or- iglnnl cost of the ferry was such that no further expenditure on the vessel was merited. On the other
