*3 Car Shortage ‘Said Not Acute

Railway officials said yester- day morning that the need for “reefer” cars in P.E.I. was 11 -too acute. and that the situation “is not too ba and we are get- ting more and more Canadian- built ‘reefers’ to ha-ndle the slhipments." Some produce ship- .pers said there is a shortage of properly equipped refrigerator

on a ready standby basis for instant use.

The city ran into difficulty obtaining enough extra truck to handle the big job, as no many drivers were anxi on to work overtime d uring the holiday season.

However. Mr. Butler as I d in addition to all the normal city- owned equipment there were 17 extra trucks on the job to haul the snow away, as the tw o blowers chopped it fine and sent a stream into the trucks.

Approximately 10 men were hired fo the task. Normally, there are two men on each city truck. but for sn ow removal only one is l sed as

driver. OVERTIME HIGH

Since a great deal of the work necessarily must be done night. when traffic is relatively light, a large part of the cost is

ue necessity of paying overtime walges. with some em- ployees working 40 to 50 o ver- time hours weekly.
