Road Peiilion ls Presented

' A petition was presented Satun, day to the Minister of Public Work: asking that a new road be built parallel to the St. Peter's Highway. halfway between it and the Hills- boro River, The road would connect at its western end with the present lower St, Peter's (Kenslngtom Road. and at its eastern end, with the Frcnchfort Road. The toisi length of new construction required would be about five miles.

Although the need for this road ha: long been felt, said a spokesman for a nirmber of the farmer: con- corned, the rural electrification plans of the Provincial Government now make it even more necessary. In 1919 the road had been prcvnised the right-of-ways purchased on five farms, plans had been made and

the Federation:

1. The burdensome capital structure of the Canadian Na- tional Railways, which draw: $01116 $415,000,000 a year from the railway in debt interest, should be revised to e "reason. able" basis.

2. Low Western freight rates on grain fixed by statute _ the so-called "Crow's Nest Pass" rates __ should be rc-

. talned.

(The Canadian Pacific Rail- way seek: to have them elim- inated.)

3. Federal financial help in the movement of feed grains, now on a year-to-year basis, should be incorporated perman- ently into the freight-rate structure. Under the program, the Dominion absorb: 1- large share of the transportation costs of Prairie feed grains moving to farms in the East and in British Columbia.

4. The railways should not be allowed to cancel "special" freight rate: without prior per- mission from the Board of Transport Commissioners. The recommendation stemmed from last year's railway cancellation of long-standing low rates on farm implement: moving form Eastern Canada to the West. The Board has held up the rail- way move, and the matter nrrw i: under consideration.
