oi call in the summer oi 1932. These lvlsndid largo passenger soars from N" “"3. alone, made thirty-one cells at Halifax that summer, tpk- sand tourists. With ‘Charlottetown properly equipped. there is nothing whatever, to prevent our port par- ilillllating in this business; without modern facilities we are counted out of the picture. Then, with the large markets that are developing in Great Britain ior all kinds of Can- adian products, such as bacon, eggs, Doultmcanned goodacheese, butter, etc, it would not be 1on8 before some of the larger hosts would be calling st Charlottetown to pick up our shipments and thus save our producers the freight charges to Montreal or other mainland ter- minals, which is now a ccnslderab‘ handicap.

The same would apply to ship- ments to and from the West Indies, with the further possibility of Char- lottetown being made a port oi call by vessels running from the At- lantic to the Pacific, via the Pan- ama Canal, giving us an opportun- lty- to explore new markets. 1 am also quite sure that with a modern Port, it would not take much effort to attract a lino of steamers to give us a regular service on the Char- lottctown-Bosion route,,which was carried on so successfully for many years, in the past. If some recipro- cal arrangements are shortly enter- ed into between Canada and. the ‘United States, a large trade would naturally develop for fish, potatoes and other products, as well as pas- senger traffic.

lint-class water transit would be absolutely essential to get in to thesemsrlrsts on e basis that would enable us to compete with ship- ments from other sources. Once the port is modernized and it can be advertised in. 0113191118 and yachting magazines, we can count on a large number of American yachts on cruise that would include Charlottetown in their itinerary. These yachting parties are most de- sirablc visitors and expend large sums at every port of call.

Wa-icrfront Unattrectlve We have a very fine City with e

sea-shores unsurpassed, and one of the best natural harbours on the Atlantic Coast, with a magnificent but when e ship arrives the waterfront, as present, is anything but attrac- tive. There is going to be a very large developme ‘ of the tourist traffic in the next few years, through the co-cperatlcn of the Canadian Travel Bureau recently c One of the most impor- tant avenues for the Maritimes is the greet and growing traffic by water in which our port and pro- vincs have a right to participat- It seems to me that we do not fully appreciate the great potentialities our harbour and waterfront hold. Should we not talks more pride in its f. ‘ pmcnt and , esp than we have in the past? To my mind, it should be lust as important to our citizens as good streets, good hotels, and the beautification oi the city, for, alter all, it is the front door to our city, and should he so regarded. Other ports, of Canada, including Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, are going after and securing neces- sary public works construction on a large scale. While we must be con- sistent and not ask or demand, in thesq times, anything unreasonable or extravagant, it seems to me we are negiectful of our own interests in deferring action so long in urg- ing and carrying out oi the Duncan Recommendation to have our Har- bour surveyed and the necessary improvements carried out so as to meet the needs of the Province, and, doing so, start e project that would very largely absorb our un- employed. Thc present would seem a most opportune time to press our claims, especially as both political ies are committed to the carry- ing out oi the Duncan Recommend- ations.

It is hardly necessary to say that to achieve results in such an im- portant undertaking, it will require the united efforts oi all interests Mr. Kyndmsn also reed corres- pondence he lied with port euth- oritios on the mainland in which the need of improvement oi Char- lottetown harbor faculties was

We should impress our federal re- presentatives with the necessity oi Wm! 1"" "115 pwicct "hammer and tongs." Now was the time, he helm/Ed. to obtain results. Mr. T. E. McNutt said that for several miles outside the harbor he understood the shallowest depth was 30 feet at mean spring tides. The trouble is immediately in front of our wharv which do not allow ships of moderate tonnage to dock. He. moved‘ that the 'l‘ra.de Boar-d fiséoluticn be approved at this meet- 'l‘he,moticrr was seconded by Mr. K 5- Rflkers. who said we had been asleep at the switch on this sub- lwt for many years. He instsnoed the enormous expenditure made by the Federal government on port fa- cilities at Hudson say. Mr. H. C. Burke said that at filmy Rock there was as feet of water st low tide. Inside this point the water. was deeper. He took ex- ception to Mr. McNuWs state a ant reserdlns the water depth at the wharves. The difficulty. he ex.

The Pownal and Buntain wharvss have been recently dredged and can now accommodate almost any steamer visiting here. Mir.

Mr. Simon Paoli said that at the end oi his wharf at dead low water there is 88 feet of wafer but he wharf is not fitted to accommoz‘ .2 any large ship. He did not thLnk the business for such ships was llofé- At the same time, there was work outside the harbor which could profitably be done.

Takes Exception

Mr. Alfred Piclcard said it was annoying to hear our wharves crit- icised as being in a disgraceful condition. He took exception to that statement. At the same time, a sav- hig could be effected by harbor improvements aud he supported the motion for a harbor survey and dredging operations where necessary. - ,

"Tnerefore resolved, that the Board place these matters before our Federal representatives on the 8V9 of their departure for Ottawa, with the request that they take the necessary steps to see that these existing discriminations against thB province be remedied forthwith.”

Mr. R. E. Mutch said the Board had giwm much consideration to this problem, Th» Province WES guaranteed. at Confederation certain terms which have never been ful- filled. At various times we. have received cash consideration. but the oontrct with respect tc dflllv» PT- iicient and continuous transpor- ticn service remains broken. He cited the report of the Transpor- tatioh Committee of the Board of ‘Prado pasrred last year in this cori- nlection, which‘ the Board has been insisting should he carried out. He also quoted the definition given bv the late Premier Stewart of the term "efficient" service and main- tained that we are not enjoying the transportation privileges of the other provinces which had no such guarantee as we received at Con- federation. Th1‘ inconvenience oi passenger traffic to and from Saokville was emphasized. How can we expect to develop tourist traffic until this unsatisfactory service ls improved? he asked. Our rights in this regard had been abiolulely ignored by the railway officials.

Coun. B. Roy Holman moved that the resolution in question be con- firmed. He warmly supported Mr. Mutchh statements and said it was time that the railway authorities
