The vault with its heavy steel door set on solid hinges is in the brick building which is now the number one warehouse of the J- W. Windsor Company on Water Street. When ,the Merchants Bank of P.E.l. moyed to more central quarters the vault, of pourse. had to remain. Its locking mechanism is still intact and un- til the key was lost several years ago was carefully iockcd each night.

Now a lock is hardly necessary as it takes the combined hauling of three men to open the ancient

door due to the suction which holds it firmly shut. In any event it no longer holds any

valuables as it is used just for

over the premises of the old Bank of Prince Edward Island on Great George Street in the build- ing now occupied by the Provin- ciai Department of Industry and Natural Resources. The bank later merged with the Canadian Bank of Commerce.

when moved from Water Street the brick building was taken nver by the late Mr. H. W. Longworth and used as a factory for the making of cans.

Other banks which old timers may recall included the Union Bank. on the corner of Richmond and Great George Street across from Queen Square School. It was afterwards sold to the Bank of Nova Scotia. There was. too. the Merchants Bank of Halifax. which operated for a brief period on Richmond Street before merging with the Royal Bank of Canada. Another which later generations may remember was the Bank of New Brunswick which' maintain- led an office here prior to merg- ing with the Bank.of Nova Scotia.

looks For Easing Of iieslriclions

On Automobiles

OSHAWA, 0nt., Jan. 3-(CP)- William A. Wecker, president of General Motors of Canada. said today in a year-end review that the Canadian automobile m.iu. hopes that current taxes and cred- it- restrictions may be lowered in restore buying power” to Canadians "whose very real need for automo- tive transportation was denied by severe controls."

This need. he added. "is becom- ing more and more apparent and will not be stifled,

"To fill it, several manufactur- ers are currently planning expan- sion of their production faciiities- not only to replace obsolete cars and trucks. but also to provide the new hundreds of thousands of es- sential automotive horsepower which must be built for Canada's inczeasing population and expand- zng economy."

Mr. wecker said domestic and export production for the first 10 months of 1951 showed the indus- try had bullt nearly 363.000 cars and trucks. compared with 390,000 units in the full year 1950.

By the year's end. however. the availability of steel from the Un- itcd States was lessening, and it became inevitable that a bigger share would have to be alloted to Canada's defence effort.

Consequently. the industry re-

inn for the first quarter of 1952 will be cut to some extent. What lies luyond the first quarter is dif- ficuii. to say. but it is to be hoped that production will be revived as steel becomes more available from on expanded steel-production pro- glam." or current taxes. Mr. Wecker said-

"As a result of federal levies.. sa.es and excise taxes combined

for new vehicle buvers in the first 10 months of H151.

”With the imposition of new taxes 937117 in April. tax totals paid to the Federal Government soared ion a month or so-from 514.000. 000 Ill April to 311000.000 in June; ht-n fell off again. to slo,ooo,ooo in October. refledctmg standpoint I.. October. reflecting the sharp break in domestic sales. Thus. from a revenue-producing stand- i.'o.nt. the government began to find itself H. victim of the law of diminishing returns."

.Vlr. Wecker said defence pro- duction within the industry be- ”im9 ii reality in the latter months of 1951, with several men- ufacturers turning out limited schedules of military vehicles. But such activity has so far claimed only a small fraction of manufacturing facllites and of the total working force of the in. tlustry."
