Hope For Early

Great Lakes shipping interests. preparing for a busy season. are hopeful of an early start of naviga- tion on the great inland waterway.

It will see the celebration of the centennial of the huge ship canals at Sault Ste. Marie. It will also i I -' the planning of many pro- Jects looking to construction of the St. Lawrence seaway.

The actual start of the move-

MONTREAL, (CP) - Paul E. Dumas of Rimouski. president of the Trucking Association of Que- bec Inc.. said today 7.5.Nli trucks were involved in accidents in the province in 1954. a 53 per cent decrease from the previous year.

The bill seemed certain of pas-, sage without over-extended de-1 bate; both Progressive Conserva- tive leader Robert L. Stanfield and one of the chamber's two CCF members; Russell Cunningham of Cape Breton East. supported it to varying degrees.

SAID ESSENTIAL

Mr. Hicks said the bill was es- sential for "the development of our educational system to meet modern trends and needs . .

The Pottler commission recom- mended a wholesale reassessment of the province so that municipali- ties would bear a falrier share of the costs of education. higher sai- arles for teachers. cutbacks in frills like gymnasiums and house- hold science labs until there are enough classrooms. a uniform rate of education taxation.

The premier said the amend- ment "is capable of forming a foiindation for a financial system in public education as soundly based-if not the most soundly based-as any on this continent."

He said that to continue using the existing and outmoded system "can only lead to further com- plications snd the intensification of our difficulties."

SIMPLIFY SYSTEM -

He said the provincial govern- ment would continue to pay about 50 per cent of education costs where the chief increase would be in teachers' salaries. But the en- tire sytsem would be simplified and redefined.

"I think most Nova Scotians realize that some further in- creases in educational costs in this province are "inevitable", Mr. Hicks said. "Teachers salaries must be adjusted and in.some cases additional money for class- room operation and maintenance must be found."

He said the cities. towns and municipalities would have in bear almost all the extra burden if these increases were put into at- fect under the act as it stood.

The legislation conformed to "the most advanced views on' school finance held by educators in the English-speaking world to- day."

, Mr. Bates said the increase in new starts was due to greater availability of mortgage money on more liberal terms.

Lending institutions approved loans totalling S636,000.000 for 82.- 406 new houses in 1954. an in- crease of 70 per cent in value and 46 per cent in houses over 1953.

Clmrtered banks. allowed in the mortgage-lending field for the first time. committed S160.000.000 to it in 1954. But life insurance companies continued the largest source of institutional mortgage money.
