Provinces To Discuss Highway Traffic Control

orrrawa. (or) - Problems of provincial control over trans-bob der highway traffic will be dealt with by provincial roads ministers at a conference opening next Mon- day in Winnipeg.

The conference. called by Pro- mier Campbell of Manitoba. arises (mm 1954 federal legislation turn- ing over to the provinces Jurisdic- tion over interprovinclal and in- ternational commercial traffic on on the highways.

Federal officials said Tuesday they expect the ministers will deal with such questions as:

1. Whether they find the legisla- tion satisfactory after a three- month opportunity to study it.

2. How provincial governments would collaborate in the inning of franchises for companies operat- ing between two or more prov- inccs. l

3. How they would control rates for such operations, - I

OTTAWA SENDING OBSERVE!

While the federal government will not engage in the conference directly. it will be represented by an observer.

Advance indications are that all provinces except Newfoundland-- which has no interprovinclal truck business-will be represented.

so far, the control-transferring legislation has been proclaimed for seven provinces at the request of their governments. Apart from Newfoundland. those outside the legislation are New Brunswick and Quebec.

New Brunswick is expected to follow the lead of the majority. but Quebec has been opposed to the form of the federal legislation. though it favors provlncal control at the cross-border traffic.

There were no public demon-' strations.

The six-member private council, appointed from France and inclu- ing prominent st. Pierrais.' stood firm. The council mediates be- tween the governor and council and is useful to new governors in that it can give an intimate picture or the colony's needs.

Town solicitor M. I. Webb, re- plying to Mr. Kirk. said the dep- uty msyor did have authority to call a special rr.-eting of council if the mayor was absent from town.

Mayor MacDonald said the meet- ing had been called without giving him a reasonable chance to be present and that the councillors had voted to pay sl,000 behind his back. He denied that he had ac- cused the councillors of misap- proprlating funds.

Asked if he had claimed illegal- ity, the mayor replied that he was not responsible for what appeared in the press.

Coun. Chisholm retorted "'.l'here are five councillors here who heard you make the statement.”

When the mayor refused to re- tract the statements. Mr. Kirk moved that the council adjourn un- iii a retraction was rnade.

A general argument ensued but the mayor did not put the motion. The five councillors walked out, leaving only the mayor and Coun.
