FISHERIES

(Canﬂdian Prcss) OTTAWA, Ont, March 21.-Clos- er. co-operation between the Domin- ion, and Quebec Province in fishery matters was advocated in the House of Commo today by Pierre Cas- gfaln. ohilit Liberal whip. Remov- ed the following resolution:

"That, in the opinion of this House, it is desirable that the Do- minion Government should co-op- crate to a greater extent with the Provincial Government 1n order to assist the Maritime fisheries in the Province of Quebec."

One of the most difficult problems of the Quebec ﬁsherman, proceed- ed Mr. Casgrain, was to find a mar- ket far his product. From four to five thousand fishing vessels sailed out of Quebec ports, and approxim- ately twelve thousand pcrsons were engaged in the fisheries of the Pro- vince. The value of the catch in the year 1930 was approximately two and a half million dollars.

The afternoon train from Tlgulsh yesterday was over an hour late in, arriving in Char- lottetown, owing to heavy snow encountered in cuttings west of Summerslde. Some of the banks were seven and eight feet deep.

The Borden train was delay- ed until 8 45 on account of a slow ca: ferry crossing caused by heavy ice in the Strait.
