Will Seek Rebuilding Of

Pavement In West Prince

A rrsoiuiiun urging the Provin- cial Government to rebuild sec- t" s of the main highway in West 11.-in County with permanent pzi-.-cment was approved at the regular meeting of the Alberton and West Prince Board of Trade )'.lS zrday afternoon. s

The resolution also called for permanent pavement connecting towns and villages along the main

iartery instead of light paving. Con siderable discussion preceded the motion during which it was no. ted that not a single mile of heavy paving has been laid in West Prince for over twenty years with exception of a stretch leading to Eilerslle.

Regarding a motor vehicle re- gistration office for West Prince. advocated by the Board and the West Prince Zone of the Canadian

Legion for some time, president J .F. Bryan stated that it appeared unlikely that an office would be established this year. Following discussion It was decidedjn for- ward a further resolution includ- ing an alternate Dropolal.

Dr. O.H. Phillips and Rev. Phe lan Mckenna were appointed to a resolutions committee.

Minutes were mad by secretary treasurer. C.R. beard.

Quahaugs were in good demand btit Intcnsive fishing has depleted the areas to the point where production is governed. mainly. by the annual growth. There is a quantity of quahaugs in areas clos- ed because of pollution. During the year a successful experimental program was carried out under the direction of the Fish Inspec- tion Laboratory to obtain informa- tion regarding the time it would take these shellfish to cleanse I” '11:: when placed in clean water areas. etc. RECORD LOBSTER VALUE

The lobster fishery. which is the mainstay of the fisheries of this Province, was very successful dun ing the year. Lobsters were plentiful in most all areas during both the spring and fall seasons. although in some sections they were not as plentiful as in others. The catch amounted to 97.010 hundredwelght. During the p a st thirty five years there were only two years when the catch exceed- ed that of this year. Also during that time there were only six years when the catch exceeded 90.- 000 hundrcdwelght. which were as

The landed value was 52.687082 which was 5363.770 more than the value for 1955 and was the largest landed value on record. Prices on the average were slightly above that of the previous year. This fishery Is responsible for the great- er part of the i'ishermcn's earn- ings, accounting for about 'seventy two percent of the value of all fish landed.

Scallops were taken in largerj quantity than in 1955 and were- takcn mainly from the beds situa- ted in Northumberland Strait. Westvof Pictou Island.

The quantity of Irish Moss ban vested was less than in 1955 by about 24.540 nuntiredweisht.
