The Bureau of Statistics reported that the index advanced from 159.2 to 159.3 between March l. and April l. It now was 7.’! points above last year and three-tenths of a point below the all-time peak of 150.6 touched last October, Novem. bar, and in January this year,

Calculated on the basis that liv- ing costs in 1930-39 equalled 100. the index now is b6 per cent above August, 1989.

The March increase developed from price rises in clothing. home- furnishings and services, rents and miscellaneous items. These count- er-balanced a further decline in foods.

‘The food sub-index dipped from 190.1 to 108.5 with a substantial drop in the price of butter and small decreases in lard and short- ening off-setting gains in beef, pork, milk. bread and flour. At 198.5, foods were 11.7 points high- er than a year ago, but 6.0 points below their October peak of 200.4.

pointed to head a committee com- prising one member of each of the Boards of ‘irade, which will confer with Mr. MacPhee in preparation of the joint brief.

Important Commission (1)

"The Commission on Transporta- tion is the most embracing and far- reaching Royal Commission ever appointed in Canada," Mr. J. O. C. Campbell told the conference. "This is not a subsidy case, nor a freight rate case, nor a lawsuit or battle between the Provinces and the rail- roads. The Commission will review. study and report on the effects of all economic and geographical dis- advantages."

When it meets in Charlottetown

the Court House, Mr. Campbell said. He advised that briefs be prepared early for presentation. and that competent witnesses be available to substantiate specific statements.

The Commission personnel, he explained, comprises l-Ion. Justice W. F. A, Turgeon, chairman, re- cently High Commissioner to Ire- land; Messrs. H. I‘. Angus, profes- sor of Economics at the Univer- sity of British Columbia, who visit- ed the Marltlmea as a member of the Rowell-Sirois Commission, and Harold A. Innis, mofosscr cf Po- litical Economy at the University of Toronto, who was a member of the Jones Commission in Nova Scotla. Mr. J. L. Ilsiey, former- Min- ister of Justice for Canada, will be Commission counsel.

A bri dealing with the p. posed West ince ferry service and son- lng disadvantages was presented by Mr. Sanford Phillipe, on behalf of the Aiberion-West Prince Board.

Support for the West mince ferry service was also given in a brief presented by Mr. A. Smith for the Cralpaud-Victoria Board, which also called for free transportation on the Bonden-Toronentine ferry and hourly crossings; also a. con- crete pavement for the Bonshsw highway.

The "great spread" in truck rates between the Wood Islands and Borden ferries was stressed in. the ‘Summerside Board brief presented by Mr. T. J. Inman, which 1n- cluded a request for a. highway ferry between Borden and Tor- merttine. -

Mr. P.J. Morris, Kinkora. stated that a. brief was in preparation re- garding western grains and would be submitted shortly.

For the Montague Board of

Trade, ssr. Robert Clements point- ed out that instead of s. per cent increase in freight rat recently.

there were eases o! increases as high as 1l5'per cent. It was point- ed out that dredging was urgently required in the Montaliip River and that orders from Newfoundland for potatoes had been cancelled be- cause the ships could not approach. The Montague brief also called for a. ferry service at Georgetown by the 5.8. Prince Ildlward Island: that the ‘Hans-Canada. Ill hway should link with Wood Is ands: that ihe wood Islands service should be improved, and that an air-mi? should be laid for light afroraf in the Monique vicinity. Mir. ILA. Lesrd. Souria. present- ed the Eastern Kinfs Board brief calling for the Trails-Canada High- wagnto Po : an near uria to encourage fresh f h erports to U. S. markets; no increase in the freight rates: a siasis freight rate sons for the Island: and. as this was the first time the 8. C. Magdalen did not call at sous-is on

Timellble

“The time is ripe for the sile- cesaful conclusion of our trans- portation problems," stated Mr. Peter Pate, O'l‘..eary, in an eloquent appeal for co-operction in present- ing all the transportation pro- blems for all parts of the Island.

Supporting the proposed West Point-Buctouciae ferry, the speak- er declared that since Confeder- ation, no part of Canada had been discriminated against more than Prince Edward Island and that no part of the Island had been discriminated against more than Prince County.

Mr. Pate pointed out that while rural populations had declined considerably in the other two Counties, that of Prince had in- creased since 167-1.

"Prince Edward Island could be- come the ‘Garden of North America‘ if she had adequate transports/t- lon." he declared. “In the old days, selling ships were good enough for trade, but today, poultry and swine can be moved more economic lly by truck.” He urged the routing of the Trans-Canada Highway from West Point to Souris.

Maj. John A. MacDonald asked if there had been any definite route established for the highway so" far. The chairman said he be- lieved not, that it was a matter for the Department of Public Works and Highways.

Mr. MscPhee, K.C., suggested that the Government brief should cover the broad outline of the Provincial picture and that that of the Boards of Trade should be specific in local

attars. l-fe urged that all witnesses s ould be familiar with. their subject and able to answer quest- ions from first hand knowledge.

Mk. MacPhee asked that a com- mittee be appointed from the meeting to instruct him and work with him on the preparation of the consolidated brief. ifs also urged that the presentation be oon- fined within the terms of reference.

Discriminatory Bales I

Following the dinner function. Mr. Leslie Hunter, Bridgetown. re- ferred to 1.cl. shipment raise. which have been increased in some instances by 100 percent. This had been referred to at the Trade Board meeting in Montague as an item of considerable insportanoe.

Mr. Graham Rogers statsdtthat this question is being studied by Mr. Rand Matheaon. manager of

specs! ssanrpias. Ilr. P. P. Morris, Rinkcra. was pleased that it had been decided

is to make a strong presentation on

behalf of continuing the freight assistance on Wastcn grains as a permanent basis. If this assist- anes is removed, be predicted that

Confederation Compact

The chairmen sailed upon m. 1.0. Byndrrun, Charlottetown. a veteran advocate of iramporiation isnprovements for the Province. MY- l-lyudncan briefly reviewed some of the difficulties overcome within the past thirty-five years,

phasizirig the Island's rights un- d" WnMerei-ion. and the need of education along this line if Island grievances are to be redressed.

.The chairman noted that tenders for the erection of comfort stations at Borden and Tprmentine had been called on ilubruary 22 last. and nothing had been done in the intervening ten weeks.

Wdt milled Posaibilies

Dr. J. A. Clark, recently return- ed froln a trip to the West Indies, stressed the opportunities for Mar- itime trade development there. "I believe that with a. little extra. pro- motion, this trade could be very greatly increased." he s . Island potatoes were very popular in the West Indies. and there was also a big demand for apples. Moat osf the apples he had seen were from Brit- ish Columbia. and those he had purchased were scarcely worth eat- ing. He could not understand why they did not get Annapolis Valley apples.

In reply to s query why Prince Edward Island cannot produce more apples, Dr. Clark said he had no doubt that the industry could be profitably developed if markets were available. "

more successful than in this Prov- ince," he added. He recalled the success achieved by Mr. A. E. Dewar and others in apple growing some years ago, when their prod- ucts won top honours at Maritime exhibitions. .

m. Alban Farmer, in reply ts a question regarding improvements to the city waterfront, said this was. a Dominion matter and it was one which should be included in the Charlottetown Board presentation. He stressedtlie heed of having well-informed witnesses to go be- fore the Commission.

Mr. Spurgeon Clark, Cra/paud, said the great difficulty in his sect- ion was lack of a ved highway. l-le pledg the f 1 support of the Crapaud-V torla Board to the As- sociated Boards presentation before the Commission.

A further meeting of Board council members will be held to re- view the final Joi-nt brief when it has been prepared.
