“I‘beT'e in much construction work underww in the Labrador area but the construction firms are not taking any chances about their food supplies. They have made contracts with catering firms for their food wants for a year.

“It in up I4-flthene oaterlngflruin to see that thin market is nup- plied. They can either chip their products up there in the summer months and freeze them for the winter or ship them in at various Intcrvah.

“Those nhlpmenta originate at Montreal. If we went into the market we would be limited to shipping to a few private firms around that area. .

"If We were to ship to Labrador direct we would have to charter a boot and experience has proven that we wouldn't. be able to get enough supplies for a full load. I think that at the moment our role should be one of watchful waiting."

The Minister stated that he did not intend to discuss the Fisher- ies Division too fully as he had had occasion to refer to the prob- lem many times recently.

However he stated that the Fish- ermen‘5 Loan Board had financed the building of 11 di-aggers at a total cost of $406,643. "Of this amount the Federal Government coiitributed $76,685 and the fish-

ermen who used the boats had paid $12,200. .._‘ “The total repayment by way

of 125’-"5. of the cost. was $36,940 while the sale of one dragger brought 329.043. The amount out- standing on the dragger loan ac- count is $248000 and the amount outstanding on the small loan ac- count is 551.385.

He compuinented the Director of Trade (Mr. Bill Agnew) for his nae work. "He has worked very hard during the past several years to help our Inland nhippers and I believe he in doing a fine job.

The Minister announced that the‘ P. E. 1. Industrial Corporation had ended the fiscal year 1953-54 in the black for the first time.

"The directors are very pleased that the guarantee to the Blue peler steamshlps will only cost us about $6,600 while we will have a profit of over $10,000 from the cold

He felt he stated that everyone would agl'i‘E that the Saiiatorium would have to get this money.

The Minister reveiwed the ex- pansion of the efforts that had been made to combat tuberculosis

(‘mt of Maintenance

He compared the cost of main-

taining each patient per day In the Provincial Sanatorium with the average cost. in Canada dur- ing the past five yearn and the figures that the P.E.I. was well below the Canadian average each year. Mr. MacDonald pointed out that there were only two or three eni- pty beds for tuberculosis pntlentn and that it han not yet been pon- slblp to close down any one nec- tlon of the Institution which would decrease the pendlturo to name extent.
