ior a farmer who lives on the Murray Harbor line to ship for immediate delivery.

He added that some of his com- pany's shipments for immediate delivery were to ships at Halifax and that the Murray Harbor line was impractical for this kind of. shipment. 2

"What in your opinion would be the result if a three day a week shipment were established in the Province?" asked Mr. J. O. C. Campbell.

Mr. McCoy replied that in des- perate situations the railways would always come to the help of the shipper.

Mr. Campbell inquired I there would be a deluge of extra trains I the C.N.R. did away with its regular service and siirlstituted iri-weekly service.

Mr. Chase. who along with Mr. Armand Sylvestre. Deputy Chief Commissiocier. presided over iviieg hearings. stated he was beginning , to think there was no such ani- mal aa immediate deliivery.

He pointed out that according to the timetable there were six .ira.ins travelling to and from Murray Harbor.

Mr..Campbell abated he had evidence the railway could only place empty cars on sidings three days a week. It was later disclos- ed that freight is only hauled over tlie Lake Verde, Moint Stewart line on three days a week.

Mr. Chase, in speaking to the witness. stated that his remarks were predlctated on the fact that the C.N.R. could only rim iihree trains a week and he was for- getting about the extras.

Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell replied that dealers would lose sales to New Bi-iniswick shippers if they lied to telil their contacts that they could ship only if they could get an entra train to carry their -potatoes out of the Province.

had stated that tri-weekly ser- vice plus extra freight trains would eliminate immediate ship- merits.

Mr. Campbell replied "No. but it would make siiipnients awk- uvard as people could not depend .upon it."

-MURRAY HARBOR. LINE

Mr. E. D. Reid. owner and op- erator of the E. D. Reid Produce 'Co. Ltd.. stated he was familiar .with buying potatoes on the Mur- tray Harbor line. He said that if -he got an order to ship a car lfrom Iilnunt Albion today (Wed- mesdavi he could not get the car tout of Mt. Albion until next Mon- day at the earliest.

In reply to A question from Mr.

the. Lake Verde to Mount Stew- ai't'linc operated on a tri-weekly ischedulo

”'.Vmilrl you say that potato P..pmeni;. from Carleton. a sta- ition on the Borden line are great- .er tihan the shipments from the whole of the Murray Harbor Iline?" asked Mr. Campbell.

Mr. Reid replied yes and added that ilIl8' people on the Murray Harbor line could grow as well as falrrriers in other areas but the train service was not as good.

Mr. Reid further added that he Iliad received an order to have a car loaded at Baltic on the El- mira line and the car was being iloaded today (Wednesday) but It could not be shipped out until next Tuesday. V

He stated that he wanted the ear for immediate shipment to a boat at Halifax but had to sub- stitute a car from the Hunter iRiver area in its place. He add- ed that this seemed like discrim- iination against the farmer who

Tiived on a line which did not

uliave daily freight service. SIX-DAY WAIT

Mr. Reid also pointed out that the Baltic farmers had to wait six days to have their potatoes moved although they only lived four miles from the main railway line over which there was new daily traffic.

In answer to a question from Mr. MacDougall. Mr. Reid stat- ed that he shipped about 200 cars a year from the Baltic-Elmira area. i

Mr. Chase asked Mr. Reid if the railroad would slip down to Baltic over the four mile distance and pick up the car of potatoes for him. Mr. Reid stated that it had not been done in the past.

Mr. W. L. Thompson of Asso- ciated Shippers Inc. stated that tri-weekly service worked to the detriment of potato shippers but daily shipments enabled dealers to meet their commlttments.

"If we had nothing but a. fri- weekly service and extras I feel the trade would move to other

producing areas." he stated. "We might have to employ other serv-

In Summerslde they visited his great grandmother. Mrs. Qabriel Gallant. and his great. great grandmother, Mrs. Matilda Ar- senault, who is in her 93rd year.

It is the first time. the five generations had ever been toget-

ices in order to meet the com- petition.” he added.

SHIPMENTS DIFFICLLT

He slated that the Murray t-iaruor line region is the iargesl turnip producing area in the Prov- ince but shipments were often made difficult due to lack of proper service.

Asked by Mr. MacDougall how many times he had lost sales due to train service. Mr. Thomp son replied that it was a difficult question but he would say quite frequently. although not definitely sure He added that he never confirmed sales unless the pota- flies were being carried on the regular trains.

Mr. Chase suggested to Mr. Tiiompson that he could always fill immediate delivery orders from his warehouse supplies.

Mr. .1. 0. C. Campbell stated that the warehouses were not al- ways kepl full and that often the potatoes were either moving in or out with the result that on many occasions there might be few potatoes on hand in such storage buildings.

Mr. B. Graham Rogers, Direc- tor of Transportation for the Pro- vincial Government. stated that over half the sidings in the Prov- ince were constructed with the view of being used for riailv service and were not long enough for any other kind of service.

He added that daily transporta tion service was required not only for livestock and turnips but also for locomotives. flour. feed. gas and oil, and many other com modifies coming into the Prov- ince. In addition he noted that processing plants were or would be established in the province and they would need DI'0I'l'iTii transportation for their products.

He produced figures to show that the retail sales on PR I. during 1954 amounted to 860.788.. 000, an increase of over .'-.90 000 in the last ten years. He esti- mated the Island's freight bill at more than s12.oon.noo plus another million dollars for express.

Asked by Mr. Campbell if tiir C.N.R. would save any money on the proposed changes Mr Rrigers replied he was afraid the failivav would lose quite a lot clue to traffic by truck.

IMPROVED SERVICE

He pointed out that during the past four or five years the C N R. freight service had definitely im- proved and thought it tragic that they should take any steps Irhicli might injure their own abdithe I-land's economies.

Speaking of the "interchange- ability of tickets. he stated there should be some definit arrange- ments made along ths line be- tween the rallway comp&yl and

the bus services.

Mr. Earl Kennedy of the De- partment of liigliivays stated he had been chief clerk of the De- wnrks and ;i-lighivays for several years and had looked after the administra- tive aspect of npciiiu: and closing roads in recent years on account

of weather conditions. He stated that under poor con- ditions all vehicles over 6.000

pounds were barred from road travel. Passenger cars and light delivery trucks were allowed to operate.

He pointed out that the main CllIf!”illilFS v ere met in the spring of the VS-'il' and often with short notice. -about sis hniirsl, was all the nntifzrotmn EIVPI1 the public that restrvchonr. would he placed on travellui:

Mr. Campbell H':lK9d if the last five years could be taken as an .: ige indication of any five year period. and pointed out that not once were the roads opened as early for ccneral use as the C NR. had indicated in their plan to begin their new service.
