VESSEL IIAULED UP ON THE NEW GEOB GETOWN SLIP

BUSY YEAR FOR

Departments Of Industry N. Resources And Fishers

The l)i-pat-ttttent of Industry and lN'aturttl Resources and The De- pttrtnn-ni of Fisheries are both ltll1lL'i' the administration of The lion. Duugaid Maclfinnon, Minis- ter 0' each Department. The Dep- uiy .liinistet's are, respectively, Mr. P.A. lilurnaghan and Mr. Ettut-tie Gormnn.

The Departntcnt of Industry and

Niilliffll Resources includes a num- -

her of sections which are Trade, 'roun Planning, Transportation, Geological Survey, Electrical In- spection. Provincial Fire Marshall, tlovcrnntcnt Cold Storage. Fish and Game, Newfoundland Shipp- ing Service. It is a very busy De- partment of the Provincial Govern- ment.

TOWN PLANNING

The Town Planning Regulations apply to The Charlottetown Royal- MP3. including Spring Park and Pa kdalc, the Keppoch and South- port Areas and also includes all the land 800 feet on each side of 'ihe Trans-Canada Highway. The 3i'ar ending December 31st. 1956. has been one of the busiest in the construction programme which we have had in this area. The value (if construction in 1956 amounted to sl,ilB.000.00 which no doubt will be a surprise to a great many people. This includes a Church, Scltiml. R.C.M.P. Building. con- .klrlli'liUll at Faiconwood. and ad- dition to a Motel and many new rl'sitl('lll'0S and other buildings.

ihiring the year the Village of St. Elcanors became incorporated under "The Village Service Act" unit .1 population of over seven huntlt-ed pcoplc. Miscouche is about ready to hold a Poll to see it the ltesidents wish to become

Incorporated under The Act. (litters have previously been in- t'tit'p0t'Rl9t'l.

I956 was a very flood year from the standpoint of Fish Landings illlfl Landed Values. Many species uill show higher landings than over before. Some indications of this picture are sown in compari- son with Lobster Landings of 1955 and I956. In 1955 there were 8.329.- tloo lbs valitcd at 82.324212 as nuaiiist 9.716.000 lbs valued at 2.687.982 for 1956. In addition to the improvement above we can assiime from preliminary returns that groundiish landings will ex- ceed those of 1955 by at least two million pounds. Preliminary fig- ttrcs show that our Dragger Fleet landed nearly ten million pounds this season. an increase here also of over two million pounds in weight and at least 50.00000 in it-iltie.

The new Marine Slip at George- town is already proving its value. Designed primarily for our grow- ing Dragger Fleet ship repairs this slip is capable of handling other moderate size vessels. It is the means of giving added em- ploymont here instead of having this repair work done elsewhere.

TRADE DIVISION

The Trade Division of this De-

partment functions and acts in a purely rather than in an administrative capacity. Our Province enjoyed I successful year in Export Trade. Our Trade with Newfoundland will show a large increase over previous years. Business also is increasing with Seven Islands and along the North Shore of Quebec and parts of Labrador.

service and advisory

If we had a regular scheduled

steamship service from Prince Edward Island to Seven Islands and along the coast to Goose Bay it would aid trade greatly. Suc- cessfui negotiations were conclud- ed in securing a Dominion Sub- sidised Service from Prince Ed- ward Island to Newfoundland for a term of three years and this was a factor in the increased trade. Ileretoiore this has been mostly one way in our favor. It is now

beginning to be a two way traffic This im- ported from Newfoundland such

all of good quality. The more we

buy from Newfoundland the more they can buy from us.

SURVEY

The Geological Survey of Prince Edward island was continued in- tensivly in I956 and will proceed further in the coming year. This is carried out by The Department of Mines and Technical Surveys at Ottawa in close co-operation with The Department of industry and Natural Resources here. Imperial Oil. l' ” d who have taken out Oil and Gas Exploration Licenses on some sections of Prince Ed- ward Island are doing their ex- ploration work with modern meth- ods and experienced personnell. This Department cooperates very closely with them. In view of the fact that we have not had a proper general Geological Survey here for a great many years there is a great deal of detailed work to be done both in the general survey and the intensive one being car- ried on by Imperial Oil both of which take time and money.

The Province has been divided into twelve grid areas for explora- tion License purposes and five if these are presently under License. Several large Companies have re-

Maritime Central Airways have done a splendid job and has meant much to Prince Edward Island in passenger and mail services. The Island Motor Transport is giving splendid service and during the year some mail was carried on buses which was a great aid to business. particularly in the East- ern portiona of the Province.

COLD STORAGE

The Government Cold Storage Plant with improved facilities has rendered a very valuable contri- button to both our Agricultural and Fisheries Industries. fn 1956 it handled almost four million pounds of commodities which was half a million more than last year.

The long term program of Fish and Game Improvement set up by this Department is being contin- ued aa fast as finances permit. A number of dams have been built and other stream improve ment being carried out. This pro- gram ia of undoubted value to the Tourist Industry as well as to on own people. This Department works in very close association with The Federal Biological Fish- eries Officers and is very appre ciative of the work they are carry- ing on which it is hoped will be continued in full measure with no interruptions.

The studies they are making in connection with trout is of great value and much scientific informa- tion hitherto not known is being discovered by these men. in con- junction with the P.E.I. Fish and Game Association the Department assisted In The Ring Neck Pheas- ant Program, It is proposed to am in carrying on this Program al- though it is not yet determined definitely at what age is the best to release these birds. Bounties are being again paid on certain types of predators.

The Electrical Inspection divi- sion has again had a busy year. A good deal of new construction as well as improvement to others has taken place.

The work of The Provincial Fire Marshall division is very import- ant at all times but particularly during the winter months when there are always added fire haz- ards.

The Newfoundland Shipping Scr- vlce has been maintained as usual but under different arrangements since the M.V. Fergus began to operate under the new plan.

other parts of the Atlantic Prov- inces. Here. however, we also have to contend with the two zone rates. It is realised that The Railways need money but it does seem some what unfair that the long haul ship pers and receivers of freight who live in the East and West of Can- ada shouid have to bear the largest share in dollars per shipment through these straight percentage increases. The Maritimes Trans portation Commission in their sf- furts to secure some alleviation is being strongly supported by our Provincial Government. and has been so advised by Premier Ma- theson.

The new ferry "The Lord Sel- kirk" recently launched at Pictou for use on the Wood Islands - Can- bou Route will mean much to an improvement in business between this Province and Nova Scotla, to the benefit 0 fboih, and also to the 'l'oitrist Industry. The comple- tion oi the Trans Canada Highway between Borden and Wood Islnnda by co-operation between the Fed- eral and Provincial Governments has already been oi great business assistance to our people.

Vehicle traffic at Borden, Tor- mcntine shows an increase for INC and it is only a matter of short time until very serious considera- tion must be given to the provision

Christmas At Orthopedic Centre

- Christmas at the Orthopedic Centre was a very happy and bounteous one. with thanks due many friends and organizations Ittttjoughout the province. The Children's Ward was beautifully .decorated through the courtesy of F.W. Woolworth Co. Ltd

The Staff of the Centre strove to make the holiday a happy time for those unable to get home for Christmas. They decorated trees for the rooms of the Adult Patients and cheery wreaths were 511118 in each window.
