Gentlemen oi‘ the Summerslde Board of Trade:

Another year has passed into his- tory and, although it is a failing "5 human nature in general to he un- grateful and to find fault, we must nil agree that the year 1926 hill!

been popsibly one of the most soundly prosperous that our Prov- ince has even experienced.

As an Association. the year lustl passed has not in a sense been as; active as- some previous termsbut| n. considerable amount of work has: been done which we fully hope will bring excellent results for the year 1827.

lAs regards ou-r Railway Service,

.We must admit disappointment at tllc absence of thc llse of our harbour last season, particularly for shipment of Seed Potatoes but this was the result oi’ the uirfor- tunate loss and lllsablemeltt oi‘ ves- sels and steamers scheduled t0 loud at this port and also the luck oi’ proper facilities.

identical to the one this Board has‘

fought for so strenuously over a year ago. During the past winter. owing to the Blllliflflllill snow fall. the service West ‘was badly dis- rupted but this was lo u great ex- tl-ut due to the condition of the road bed and we are hoping that this will be remedied during the coming sit-miner. Ill this connection. the Railway (louunittee appointed for the next tcrln might well tnko up with thc Alberton and West Prince 'Bourd the matter of having the Railroad build a "Y" say at ‘(Thcary as the great amount of trouble with snow is West of there uud this would enable train service lin- bgtter to be kept up to that point which would bc u (lecidcd inl- lvrtlvenu-ni, not only for the sec- tion between Slunltlnersidc and that point. but also further West.
