The past year will be remember- ed as the most profitable one that Island Potato Growers have ever known and it was indeed fortun- ate for this Province that such was the case at a time when rev- enues from other branches of agri- cultural production have been de- cllning.

This made the entire fleet independent of trailers and it can now move about the Province as speedily as a. fleet of heavy trucks, eliminating costly delays and getting more work done.

Last winter was the most sever- since the Department have adopt- ed a. policy of roads open through- out the year. With 37 plough.- avaliable, it was found impossible to open all our 3200 miles of road. and in most districts only the more important roads were attempted. This year we will have 40 ploughs at work and hope that with our increased mileage of improved highways, reasonably satisfactorv winter roads can be maintained. It is interesting to note (that 10 years ago we were operating only seven snow ploughs.

The following New Year's mes- sage in Charlottetown citizens has been received from His Worship Mayor J. D. Stewart, D. B. 0.:

"The year end is a time of stock- taking, and making plans for the future I would like, at this time, to briefly take stock of the ac- complishments of your City Gov- ernment during the year 1952.. The

umber one effort was that of re- surfacing. the majority of our city streets. This work was performed in a most business like fashion by Warren Marltimes Limited,' with the inspection side being taken care of by The J. T. Donald Com- pany of Montreal. A major traf- fic control unit was added at the Longworth Avenue, Weymouth. Euston Streets corner. This long- needed addition has already prov- en its worth.

"In the field of Civic Finance. our new and equitable tax assess- ment system was put into force. It has first of all provided the city with increased revenue and has met with the approval of the tax paying public. As a matter of in- terest it has also proven to be an example that many other of our Canadian municipalities are now following.

"The City had many notable vis- itors during the year, the high- light being that of the Governor General in August. we are also becoming more popular every year as a convention centre, and your Mayor and Council have done ev- erything ln their power to en- courage this most important CiVlC industry.

"The regular bi-annual Civic Election took place in February and as a result many new faces appeared around the Council Table. This Council has had to

miles of Trans-Canada Highway were paved. which brings the total of this 22-foot. pavement to 30.4 miles in the Province.

Location of the remaining 44 miles remains largely unsolved as the solution to the I-lillsborough Bridge problem has npt yet. been found. Work on this problem has been going forward under the di- rection oi O. J. Mccuiioch, who is also consultant on the Canso Causeway job in Nova Scotia.

An extensive excavation has been made near Charlottetown, on the best apparent site based on last winter's core drilling operations, in an atte pt to discover rock suit- able for the construction of a causeway at Hiilsborough River. It is believed that if suitable rock is found, a causeway can be built at lower initial cost than a bridge and cost much less in annual maintenance. .

Steel multi-plate arches are an economical structure with a. low initial cost, simple construction and require no maintenance. Creo- soted timber is the best construc- tion material for our many salt water locations. The Department will use steel guard roll as a stand- ard bridge railing in the future.
