THE GUARDIAN,

King’s Co. “Trade Board ~ Holds Special Meeting;

On Wednesday night s special meeting of the King's County Board of Trade was held at the Mai-time Electric office in Mont- ague. with the President Mr. R. K. Clements presiding, Present at this important meeting were Messrs. B. Graham Rogers, Director of Transport for P. E. I., and Mr. Frank Curtis president of the Charlottetown Board cf ‘Trade. Mr. Rogers explained that a Royal Commission had been ep- pointed to study the transportation problem as far as the economic and geographical points of view were concerned. Mr. Curtis told the meeting that all boards of trade were preparing briefs to be pre- sented to the Commission, and that in P. E. I. all local briefs would be incorporated into one brief which would be presented. All local briefs would be brought to Charlottetown on May 4, where s general afternoon session will be held. The Province has supplied counsel free for the drawing up of this brief which will be com- pleted by Messrs. H. F. MacPhec, Walter Darby and 11. O. C. Camp- bell. The meeting was called here to discuss the specific problems on transportation in this locality, and incorporate these problems in a local brief. The first question brought up was that of freight rates and zoning. It was shown that it costs more to ship from the east and west zones than from the central zone, and several instances were cited to supply substantiat- ion of the fact. It was recommend- ed that the zone system should be abolished, making the Island a single zone. It was further shown that the present local freight rates are more‘ than the twenty-one per cent increase granted, and that certain commodities are up 33 i/3 per cent.

With regard to better connect- ion facilities et Tormentine, it was urged that another boat should be supplied t0 59°95 up movement of traffic. it was also urged that bigger boats be pieced on the Wood Island- Caribou ferry route, and that dredging should be carried out to dock these larger boats. Another matter respecting this service was that s service station should be erected at Wood islands. and that a. bulletin board should be placed indicating whether or not the boat was going to cross, the lack of

which information is st present causing considerable indignation.

It was further urged that; a Gav- ernment ice breaker should- be placed on this route, which would continue the service during the winter months from Caribou to Georgetown, which has an excellent harbor.

Serious Mall Problem

Considerable discussion took piece an the mail problem which locally is acute. At present mainland mail arrives in Charlottetown some three hours after the Eastern train has left. ‘necessitating a day's wait before the mail arrives here, and another day before it arrives in the country. It was shown that it takes as long for a letter to arrive here from the city by train, as it ‘does to arrive from the west coast to the city by air. Such antiquat- ed means of disposing the mail were deplored. y

It was suggested that mail trucks be put on the route from Charlotte- town to Murray Harbour, dropping off the mail at each point as Vernon River, Cardigan, Georggs town, Bridgetown, Dundee, Mont- ague. Murray River, Murray Harbour. Moreil. st. Peters and Souris.

These trucks might also carry the smaller express packages, but if this slowed up the truck to have it carry mail only. This would give the mail carriers shorter routes since they could pick up their mail at the central point nearest their route, and the mail would thereby arrive at the homes and business offices earlier than at present which requires a. twenty- one to forty-eight hour delay.

It was recommended that the Government put this matter of mall trucks under serious consideration since present conditions were not at all satisfactory. Considerable indignation has been expressed by various ‘rural residents on this matter, and it is deemed worthy of serious thought.

Montague River

At present negotiations are under- way with the Government to have the Montague River dredged. The river has not been dredged for the past ten years and the slit fill-in has almost blocked the channel so that at low’ tide there is only nine or ton feet of water.

This has proved detrimental to trade and commerce in this local- ity, since it is used as a. shipping port for s large agricultural area. It was reported that several orders for produce had been lost owing to the fact that the large boats could not get to the docks which have been newly construct-g ed. Other boats have to wait for high tide before they can come up the river, and on one occasio a loaded vessel had to be hauled for two miles before it cleared the mud. Such s. condition will certain- ly steer vesicle to other ports which is bad for the Island economy. when given proper facilities, the local ship ers can provide the pro- duce req ed. It was hoped that the Government would attend to this matter in the near future.

It was also recommended that cold storage facilities for shipping butter and small fruits would be built, since this would be advan- tageous in trading with Newfound- land, with whom there could be e considerable amount of reciprocal trade in lime, fish ,end certain textiles.

Realizing the growing need of sir travel, it was urged that a landing strip be built in King's County so that those who wished to travel by plane might be given the facilities. ,

Bus Service

e

With regard to bus service it was urged that the Wood Island ser- vice be supplemented by another time schedule which had formerly been in operation. It was proposed that the bus meet the boat at 10:30, to drive through Montague to Charlottetown, and leave Mont- ague again at 12:80 for the 3:00 o'clock boat. When this time route was removed from the schedule it caused much inconvenience and a great deal of indignation. it is hoped that this schedule will be

the public.

With regard to tho rates at Borden, it was proposed that these rates should be lowered and that the classification be changed. It. was urged that all agricultural products should go over at the same rate as livestock at present. In some cases the rates made it prohibitive to ship certain com- modities such as canned moat. The question of paved roads was also taken under consideration, and it was urged that the road from Wood Islands to Montague should be paved, as also the vital link between Montague and Souris which would link up the northern part of the country with the ferry, and thereby increase ship- ping over this route. The matter is one of grave concern to the Eastern residents since in the spring one must go first to Char- lottetown to reach Souris, a total round trip distance of I80 miles as compared with s round trip of 60 miles by direct route.

It was also urged that should larger boats be put on the Wood Island ferry route, more space should be provided for the transfer- ence of trucks carrying produce, since at present conditions are de- plorabie with several trucks al- ways being ieft at either side.. After discussing several other local matters, the meeting adjourned on expressing their thanks to Mr Rogers and Mr. Curtis for attend- ing the meeting. I
