Marine Committee

Mayor Campbell in his report for the Marine Committee stated that two steamers landed full car- in the spring:

ships landed cargoes of 0011.1. Dur- ing the fall six steamers loaded carzoes of seed potatoes for Vir- glnlh, besides several cargoes by S. s. Fleurls for Montreal.

The seed potato business shows a substantial increase over prev- ious years for which there are two contributing causes. viz: the in- crease in the quota pennitted to be imported into the United States and the fact that planters are yearly becoming more fully ac-

rived from using lSlRnd -

In order to properly handle the nuaiititv now being ship we found facilities at the Der en- tirely inadequate. so much so that gotatoes were piled 20 tiers hlizh iii the sheds. this operation. b0- sides c0st of labor involved. was very detrimental to the potatoes. lam pleased to note that this Board has passed a resolution ask- [my the Department of Public Works to extend the wharf and

Utilities Committee

Mr. W. J. Lldstone in reportlnc! for the Utility Committee stated _ feature was the Boards fight to keep the tele- phone company from imposing an heir patrons on Prince Edward

121111 an unjustifiable increase in a

s. This matter has been on

the mat for nearly four years and several hearings have been held‘

before the Utfltv Commission, the

last of which was held at Char- lottetown last October. when Councillor Molllson representing

the Town and Messrs. J. P. Arnett and myself with representatives from Alberton in the west and Montague in the east attended to. defend the public from furtherl burden. |

I feel that these representatives? put up a good case and held their own on showing .up their conten- tlon to the Utility Commission by argument and briefs. which they presented. ‘they were as one voif": in demanding that the rates rc- main as they were. ‘Tile Commis- sion took the matter into consider- ation and found that they couldi not see their way clear to grant‘ the increase to the Tecphone Co.. and the rates were ordered to re- main as they were. The Utility Board went fully into the matter and wanted t0 be lair to all con- cerned. and with the information theyhirathered they were lustlfleu in eir decision. The public felt very strongly in this matter am were prepared to take their tele- hones out if this increase had een allowed.

1111s committee has compiled much data on this subject and is preplllired to follow up the matter fur ei- if called upon to do so, and know that we have the sup- port of the people in all towns and rural districts of Prince Ed- ward Island. In closing Mr. Lid- stone expressed his thanks for the loyal support he received on every hand in presentinz this important matter.

In Air Transport

The following comprehensive re- port was submitted by Mr. A. R. Brennan, chairman of the Air- port Committee. at the recent an- nual meeting of the Summer-aide Board of Trade:

Air transport to Prince Edward Island and in the Maritime Prov- lnces generally has advanced great» ly during the past year. Summer- side as in the past has shared fully in this increased service and in comparison with the previous year 1939 shows the greatest de- velopment in Air Services yet ex- perlenced in this Province and at this Port.

The increase in miles flown in this division indicates the extent to which this development has gone and whereas the miles flown in 1938 were 84,349. during the last year they have increased to 159.- 505. giving an increase of 75,158 miles or almost double the previ- oils years total.

The development in the Mari- tlmes is of course largely due to the fact that the Canadian Air- ways which operates the Service to this Province, in April Iif last year extended their flights from Moneton to St John. N. B. and
