Stating his objections to the C. N. R. getting franchises to op- erate bussee and trucks in lieu of train service in this Province Premier Jones said yesterday. "We are afraid of that. Railway- men are notorious for not work- ing and have no use for more than a 40-hour week." '

He added that here people are farmers and fishermen and do not get the saute return for their labor as do railwaymen who are paid the some as others else- where across Canada.

The Prerriier was testifying be- fore the sitting of the Board of Transport Commissioners hearing an application of the Canadian National Railway for ” ndoniment of Hililstaorough Bridge as a rail- wiaiy line.

During his testimony Premier Jones referred to an offer he said was made by Mr. Donald Gordon, president of the C. N. R.. to turn over the bridge to the Provincial Government. This turn of the testirnoniy permitted Mr. A. K. Dysart. counsel for the C. N. R., to put among the exhii-bits st series of letters and telegrams on the subject exchanged between the Premier and Mr. Gordon. The previous afternoon he had at. tempted to get them into the ev- idenice but on objection of Mr. J. 0. C. Campbell. counsel for the Province, Chief Commissioner M. B. Archibald suggested they be set aside for the time being.

Premier Jones said that Mr. Gordon had offered to turn over the bridge to the Province stat-

somet-hirig. However. in answer to a question by Mr. Campbell the Premier expressed the opinion they were not. Modern piers. he said, were different to those built in past years.

New Bridge Purchased He told the Board

that the

which , he said was a railway bridge heavier than probably necess , for vehicular traffic.

It had originally been built for the Chinese Nationalist Govern- ment and never delivered. In answer to a comment that the Chinese Nationalists now had no river over which to put the bridge the Premier suggested they might use it "from Formosa to the mainland."

He said this was not the first time the raiiliway had asked to abandon the bridge. In reply to a question from Mr. Campbell he slated the C. N. R. had suggested a substitution for rail service all over the Island. Mr. Campbell then suggested that the proposed atbanidorsmesit of.a section of the Murray Harbour line was not so much in connection with the bridge as with established policy.

Premier Jones sa-id that an a.ppl.icatilon for bus and tnick franchise had been received prior to the railway strike last year but at a special session of the Provincial Legislature called to consider the strike it was decided the time was not orpportune for the grainitinig of a road franchise.

The opinion.was expressed that there was not enough room be- iiween Charlottetown and Murray Harbour for two bus lines to 09- erate and if the C. N. R. held the exclusive franchise there would be no service in the event of a strike. Under cross examination by Mr. Dysart the Premier stated there was insufficient traffic on the route for two bus lines.

At this point Mr. Dysart sought to introduce the letters denied the previous day. Mr. Campbell objected but sitter argument dur- ing which Mr. Dysart stated he wanted to put in all the letters so the Board would have a knowledge of the chronological order of de- velopment. He added, "When the Premier mentioned the bridge he gave me the chance to introduce the first letter."

Highway Service

A discussion relative to other ietllers exchanged between use Premier and Mr. Gordon resolved itself around the over-all matter of substituting busses and tnicks throughout. the island. The C. N- R. counsel said they had not (10110 anything yet because they want- ed to find out if the over-all scheme was acceptable to the Government and the people be- fore they went before the Pub- lic Utilities Board with an ap- plicallon. The other letters in the correspondence were then ad- mitted with Mr. Campbell offer- ing no objection.

However. the Provinces counsel stated the Board should note that the correspondence did not con- tain all the evidence. In belwnn the letters there had been sev- eral conversations. Mr. F. M- Covert, K.C., appearind 10' "'9 Province. suggested the danger in the letters in that Mr. Gordon was not here to authenticate them and they might have been written for hr'.rn by anyone. Mr. DYBIH answered that Mr. Gordon was quite capable of writing his own letters and "certainly I dldni write them.”

On the question of freight rates now applied with the hauling of freight traffic from the Southiport to Village Green stations via Mt. Stews-rt. Mr. Dysart said there was no change as thety were on a rail mileage basis using the short- est rsil dlntance which was across the bridge. Premier Jones said that was all right now but if the rails were pulled up there would be a big charge.

Question oflrlee

An exchange took place between thercentsnlsslerien and the Pre-

mier about the proposed new bridge. Mr. Chose wanted to

ing that the piers must be worth;

know if the Premier was asking the railway to rebuild the bridge and if so. if he was prepared to help pay for it. Getting an sf- firrnative reply he asked how much. Tile Rrnnier said he was not prepared to answer that. Chief Commissioner Archibald re- marked. "You don't want to lie yourself up." Premier Jones re- plied he was used to bargaining at which point. Mr. Dysart inter- ltcted, "You are in a better pos- ition than the railway."

' Asked by Commissioner Chase if it was his idea to have the railway use "your" bridge, the Premier stated he had only had it a week when the C. N. R. tried to buy it for use near Churchill. Manitoba.

A general discussion relative to the train service from llluvrray Harbour to this city took place with the time nsumed on the return trip occupying the 53;- tezition of the Commissioners. M80 bmusht up was the subject of other services in the area with the Island Motor Transport be- ing cited as an example.

Mr. Frank A. Gaffney. Chief of Transport Research. C. N. R.. Montreal. was called to the wit- ness stand and told of the various Open and closed periods for high- Wlys. He said all Provinces in Canada had similar restrictions on highway operations. He pro- duced as an exhibit a military map of thepdlstrict between Southpori. and Village Green which showed 80 houses contiguous to the rail- way and 140 on the highway. He said there was no conicent atiuu of population in the area and his SWVEY had suggested 'that the people. would be better served by illnee highway than the railway
