Causeway Proieci Backed By Mr. Bell And His Party

Complete endorsation of the pro- posed causeway project between New Brunswick and Prince Ed- ward Island was voiced by Mr. R. R. Bell as he resumed the de- bate on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday. Mr. Bell raid. "As far as I am concerned and as far as my Party is con- cerned. we are all for a complete investigation of the causeway pro- ject."

The Opposition leader wondered why the project was being brought up at the present time. "I hope that no politician is bringing it up for political support...if he is pity help him,” he said.

LAUGHTED AT

Mr. Tell recalled that in 1944, he had brought up the subject of s causeway but didn't get much of a reception from the Govern- ment side of the house. "As a matter of fact the Minister of Highways at that time laughed at me. I wonder what his attitude is now," he asked.

Referring to a statement made by the late Premier Jones when he said, "It is not up to me to ridicule this matter, time alone will tell what the future will hold," llir. Bell said I felt very much the same way at that time and I feel the same way about it now."

He recalled that in 1944 be pre- sented to the House the estimates of a causeway a bridge and a tunnel. These estimates which had been prepared by Railway engi- neers indicated the following costs: Causeway, 350,000,000 bridge 3'77- Il00.000. tunnel under 'the bottom; tl00.000.000. tunnel on the bottom.

Itnow speak in to the very serious situation in reference to our Dominion-Provincial agree- ment and the new one now being finalized.", said Mr. Bell. "I was somewhat aghast to hear on the

radio last night that the Prime A

Minister of Canada had laid down

it ultimatum that the proposal al- ,

ready made was a final and basic one that even if another confer- ence is held. the Federal Govern-

ment do not intend to diverge -

(rom that proposal to any extent."

"As I understand it, the propo- ral already made. would give less to Prince Edward Island than she has been receiving annually. This

to my mind. is unthinkable." he continued. ”The 1951-56 agreement was little enough. It was not near

to a unit of Confederation but we have struggled through at the ex- pense of the Province's economi- cal position and at the expenses of our people, our boys and girls; and now insult has been added to mu”... -

That a serious blow was struck at the Rural Electrification Pro- gram of the Province by the sleet storm of the first week of Janu- ary was reported by Premier Matheson when he began his speech on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday. He will deal with the matter of the Cause- way project when the debate is re- sumed this afternoon.

Mr. Matheson said that he sym- pathized with the people of the western part of the Province who had been put to so much incon- venlence and hardship by the loss of power and damage done by the storm. He felt that it was the re- sponsibility of the Federal repre- sentatlves to declare an area a "disaster area” and that some fnn-n of Federal assistance should be forthcoming.
