ping agents. who hold respon- sibility for dock losses, do little but shrug and absorb the extra cost.

The harbor police chief has just 33 officers to patrol a

crowded 10-mile stretch . of grain elevators and ware- houses. e 33 make arrests

daily during the shipping _sea- son but calculate they tch only a small fraction of the offenders.

In court, judges faced with men tempted to pilfer-by easy

opportunity remember. they | are also family men and hand

out what one- shipping agent calls ‘ridiculously small pen- alties. you wouldn't give to a school boy."’ ; Suspended sentences and fines as low as $50 are com- mon, iced “It's impossible to sell the point of view that these goods long to someone,’’ said the shipping agént, who déclined, as did most dock officials, to be identified by name.~ _. "These men wouldn't steal: their neighbor’s watch but when they take something from a’ ship’s crate, no one actually seems hurt.”

PROMPTS HIGHER RATES But the hurt comes when

insurance companies raise

rates to shipping agencies who

have acute pilferage problems -

in. their sheds.

“And this year shipping- offi- cials began to. complain that Montrea! harbor is losing busi- ness because of its bad repu- tation for theft -

Last March 22 the Canadian Import Association reported that a survey of -55. firms dis- closed about $500,000 worth of goods had been: stolen in Ca- nadian ports in the previous two years—more than half of it in Montreal.-

But that figure dealt with only 55 of the thousands of import-export firms from sea to séa.

More recently, independent estimates from three different shipping officials placed the figure for Montreal's losses

alone—-at

year. It is an estimate that Paul

Asselin, president of Mont-

can.
