Sackville-Charlottetown ' Service

Slr,-~'l‘he writer has read with a great [it'll] of interest the volumi- nous correspondence published. be- tween Captnln llend of the car fer- ry and other parties with regard to the winter service. l have read this wit-h a good ileal 0f interest. in- somuch as l myself have been trav- elling continuously between (‘har- lottetown. Montreal and Boston tor the last 25 years.

To commence with, l nni sure the nim of this correspondence is better mail and passenger service in the winter time. which, as far as Prince Eilwnrrl Island is con- cernetl, commences about the last of October and finishes about the middle of May, or in other words, hnlf the year. As “Traveller” has ititiitititeti, we are not interested in the service between Iilontrctil and Suckville. and us he lids further iutinuiteil, any business man knows that tvro dnys are wasted tiring these six inouthsdu unlngfroin Montreal to Charlottetown. it 1- true thc f‘. l’.

Now, what we all want to get at ls the remedy. because trcrtalnly the Province of Prince Edward island is not receiving the service that it tit-serves front the (iovcrnmcnt. as regards passengers and mails, dur- ing tlicse six tnoutlis. 4 Assuming tlint it ls very tlztngcr- nus for tiic cat‘ fciqry to he out af- icr durk (wltli which stateiuctit l do not ngrcct iluring Novi-tnbcr, |)l‘(‘4'lll|li'l' nnd iluring mild ivlntcr until llu- middle of January, l fol-l surt- that it’ (‘itptiiln lit-ad's ‘ccortls zirc lookcil tip, that tiic c ferry‘ ncarly always rt-ttirns to llordcn in the morning, nrriviitg about ll or 11.30 A. ill.
