MR. wimsns QUERIED IN HOUSE

Federal Dept. Studying Cost Of Causeway Survey

orfawa (CP)-Federal engi- neers are studying the cost of sur- veying 3 , posed nine-mile cause- way In link Prince Edward Island with the mainland, Works Minister Winters informed the Commons Friday.

He said he received a letter from Premier Matheson of P.E.1. in the last 10 days containing "certain in- formation" about the proposal. based in part on a pieliminary sur- vey by a consulting engineer.

Mr. Winters did not elaborate, but said it was the first official communication he has received about linking the island province with New Brunswick across North- umberland strait.

He said he has asked his depart- ment officials to study the informa- tion ln Mr. Matheson's letter and estimate the cost of carrying out a full-scale survey. The officials had

not yet reported any findings.

ASKED OF CHANCES

Mr. Winters was replying to An- gus MacLean (PC-Queens) who asked about chances for proceed- ing with a survey of the cause- way's feasibility. .

The causeway, which would bl about nine miles long across the narrowest part of the strait, has been suggested informally in sev- eral quarters in Ottawa. Unofficial cost estimates have ranged be- tween 350.000.000 and 350-000-000-

Premier Matheson outlined the results of a preliminary survey .01 the project to the provincial legis- lature in February.

The last major Canadian project of this kind was the building of the Cnnso causeway, joining Cape Breton island to the Nova Scotla mainland. The 4,000-foot causeway. built jointly by the federal and Nova Scotla governments, cost 523,000,000. It was opened last

August.

BUILD N0 BRIDGE

Mr, Winters also informed the Commons that another suggested Maritime proiect - a bridge be- tween Campbeliton, N.B., and Cross Point, Que., across the foot of the Bay of Chaleur-will not be pl-aceeded with "it till! time."

He said the federal stand had been that if the Quebec and New Brunswick governments wanted to buud the bridge the central gov- ernment would be Pfepaljed ff! EWE it "favorable consideraiion.

However, in talks with Premier Duplessis and Premier Flemming it was "mutually agreed" the bridge would not be built now.

A. J. ,Brooks (PC-Royall asked who objected to the bridge. He said it certainly would not be New Brunswick. ,

Mr. Winters shrugged and smiled but did not reply.

Toronto Truck Driver Found Guilty In Sex-Slaying Case

town waterfront area. It l1l'eClP' itafed a police search, culminating with Fltton's questioning and ar- rest shortly after he reported for work the next morning.

His 19-year-old wife attended sev- eral sessions of his trial.

Mr. Justice Treleaven told the jury it could choose from three possible verdicts: Murder. man- slaughter, or innocent.

In it Fitton had said he grabbed Linda's scarf to scare her into get- ting out of his mail truck. She had gone limp and stopped breath-

so

time today.

Three Kiled in Kitchener Shooting Atfray

KITCHENER. Ont. (CP)-Gun- fire crackled throiigh a city fac- tory Friday and three men were left dead.

Police said Frank Blem, former employee of the Waterloo Spring Company, Ltd., returned to the plant, shot Donald Huras. 26, and Fred Bellstein, 37, to death and then turned his .38-calibre rifle on himself.

Neither police nor fellow-work- ers could account for the incident. One employee said Riem, who left the factory about six years ago, and Huras, son of company owner,

dward Huras. were good friends.

Crown-attorney Harold Daufman ordered an autopsy to see whether Riem had been drinking.

Mrs. Donald llurns and Mrs. Joseph Wey. both employed in the company office. said a man en- tered the office carrying a rifle and strode into the office of Huras, company purchasing agent.

Said Mrs. Way:

"We heard the man say ihcllo Don' and then he shot him."

.1-Iuras was found tumbled from his stool, a bullet wound in his chest.

The two other office workers, William Gerth and Frank Hauser, said they ran to Huras's office but the man with the gun had gone into the work shop.

Huras's brother, Roy, said he was working at the far end of the shop when he heard the shot.

"I turned around and saw Bell- steln on the floor."

A moment later he discovered Riem's body crumpled against a door. The rifle lay beside the body. Thle pockets were stuffed with

H.B.C. Honors Sir Winston

LONDON (CP) L Sir Winston Churchill, descendant of the Hud- son's Bay Company's third gover- nor, Friday was created the Grand Seigueur of the Company of Ad- venturers of England Trading into Hudson Bay.

"You have done me a great honor in giving me this uiiique and sonorous title,” said Sir Winston. The title incorporates the com- pany's full name. Sir Winston was presented with a large, hand-col- ored scroll by W. J. Keswlck, pre- sent HBC governor. The company decidedto create the title especi- ally for Sir Winston so as -"y U ssrui.-iatetlits some mmmsmi eht oldicorilpaily forever."

"It will be appreciated all the remaining years of my life," said the 01-year-old Churchill, described in Friday's special ceremony at Beaver Hall in London's fur dis- trict as the world's "greatest liv- ing statesman."

"What has been done in Canada

in the past is only the beginning," said Sir Winston. The Hudsonls Bay Company. formed under royal charter 285 years ago, had as its third gover- nor John Churchill, first Duke of Marlborough and an ancestor of Sir Winston. Port Churchill in northern Manitoba was named after the pioneer governor.

OTTAWA, (special) - The Fed- eral Government's dredslllii Pro- gram for Prince Edward Island this year includes extensive dredg- ing at Wood Islands and projects at North Lake (537,000): Launch- lug (outside): Murray River: Panmure Island; North.Cardig.an; Cardigan Bridge; Rustico; Little Harbor; Egmont Bay; Launching; (inside); Poplar Point.

This was revealed in the Com- mons today by Works Minister Winters in reply to questions ask- ed by J. Angus MacLean, Conser- vative MP. for Queens.

Explaining the Wood Islands project, Mr. Winters said: "The situation is that the present dock is designed to accommodate is vessel with a 38-foot beam. and the new vessel which is to be in oper- ation perhaps sometime late in 1956 or early in 1957 will have I beam of 54 feet and a free board of six feet five inches as cornpar-g ed with four feet flvd inches for

In reply, Mr. Winters told the chamber:

"Recently I received a letter from the Premier of Prince Ed- ward lsland which is the first of- ficial communication 1 had had in connection with this causeway.

The letter set forth certain information which has been acquit ed locally and was based in part, I believe, upon a preliminary sur- vey by a consulting ,,l r. have asked tiie officials of the de- partment of Public Works to re- view the information submitted by the Premier and to let me have their estimate of the cost of hav- ing a full-scale engineering survey made by a competent consulting engineer. I have not received that information yet from the engine- ers of the department. That is the way the situation stands at the present time.”

on the question of roads built boundaries of National Parks, Mr. Winteri told Mr. Mac- Lean that if a road passing through a National Park is a section of the trans-Canada highway, Public Works pays half the cost, National Resources the other half and Nat- ional Resources maintains the road.

OTTAWA (CF)-Maritime Con-

servative George Nowlan Friday termed federal work to make the harbor at Port-Aux-Basques, Ni1d., safe for the new luxury ferry William J. Carson "a travesty of errors." After millions had been spent it was found the harbor still was unsuitable for the 311,500,000 ferry. Now the government was experi- menting with a scale model of the harbor, complete with a wave- making machine, to determine what more needs to be done.

The member for Digby-Annapo- lis-Kings got an immediate re- joinder from Works Minister win- ters.

Mr. Winter said Mr. Nowlan could be as sarcastic as he liked. but that wouldn't change the facts. The federal government was bound by the tcrms of Newfoundland's entry into Confederation to operate a ferry between North Sydney, NS., and Port-Aux-Basques but work was necessary to make that harbor safe for the new ship.

At a special mccling of the City Council held last night, permission was given the Public Property Cc.-nmitee to proceed with the levelling of the ground West of Gov ernment Pond which the City pro- po to make into a public gard- en. Coun. MacDonald, chairman of the Public Property Committee said he had contacted the govern- ment of the Province for the use of some of their machinery but was told that the machines were und- ergoing overhaul and repairs after a heavy season of snow fighting.

Coun. MacDonald said it was necessary to have the work done immediately if the land was to be properly seeded out for the coming summer. He said a machine could be obtained from a private con- tractor at the rate of 510 per hour. including the operator.

SOFTBALL DIAMOND

It was also pointed out by Coun. MacDonald that the old tennis courts occupied by the Knights of Columbus have fallen into, I state of disrepair. He informed the Council that a committee from the K of C waited upon him with the proposal that the tennis court be turned into a soft ball diamond. The work of changing the tennis court into a soft ball diamond, he said could be done by a heavy machine in about a half a day.

Councillors Gaudet and Gormley complained that the Park was being cut up too much and wonder- ed where it was going to end. Coun. MacDonald explained that the pro- posed move meant that an existing small softball diamond would be enlarged and at the same time an unsightly portion of the Park would be removed.

in regard to the matter. As far as

he was concerned the vehicle del-

ivered to the City did not come. up to the specifications of that con- tained in the tender. He felt that it should be returned and the deal- er be asked to supply the machine according to specifications.

Coun. Gaudet wondered wheth- er it was the City's responsibility in that they had accepted the mach ine and used it. Coun. MacDonald said the truck had been supplied at a very low cost to the City and according to information he had received, the only effect it would have on the machine is that it

might be a little harder to start in the cold weather.
