Now Nearing Completion
The new ferry Lord Selkirk which is being built to operate on the Wood Islands - Caribou route is now nearing completion and will be ready for trials late next month. The Guardian learned today from a reliable source. It was also indicated lthat the boat might be available for some service on the run be- fore the season closes this fall. As to the probable length of the trial runs and when the new ferry might be expected to be yin operation. it was explained that trial or test runs with a ship like the Selkirk might last a week or they could last five or six weeks or more. It all de- pends on what turn; up in the . ials. . The Selkirk is a "different" Ihoat. it was explained. it is of . ”at unusual design there- .fore only trial runs can deter- mine just how it may fit into the plan; that have been made 3 for it and how it will work out

The original cost estimate was
82,100,000. That has since been llncreased and the present cost jestimate is in the vicinity of 12,700,000. The ferry is being .built by Ferguson Industries
Ltd for the Canadian Maritime l Commission. ? The Lord Selkirk was launch-
ed on Nov. 29. 1956 by Hon. l George Marler, then Minister of
Transport. i
It was learned today from A
,Lacasse, Assistant District En- gineer, Department of Publlci Works. that the new dock at: Wood islands has been complet-Ii ed except for a few "clean up": chores. The work was done by: Diamond Construction C , ,'-., Fredericton. N8. and has becnl completed on schedule. The con-l tract was for 8427.000.
DREDGING CONTRACT
It was announced yesterday that a contract has been let for dredging at Wood island; for 881,000. This is for dredging the inner basin all Wood islands and generally deepening it for the new ferry. Mr. Lacasse said it would probably be deepened by about one and one - half feet. The work will be done by the J.P. Porter Company. Montreal.
Meanwhile work on the new dock at Caribou has been starl- cd. Unlike the one at Wood is- lands. the job at the Nova Sco- tia end only got underway early this summer, and a great deal still remains to he done. While the new dock at Wood Islands was built alongside the runway to the old terminal. so that the ferries could use the old terminal while the new one: was being built without any handicap. the new terminal at' Caribou is being built in the. same place as the old one.

Al t h o u g h Northumberland Ferries spokesmen had "no comment" on the situation last night, it was learned from some who have been using the ferry, service recently. that the work now underway is creating very; considerable difficulty to the efficient operation of the ferries at that terminal. -'

Prepared
OTTAWA ICPI-Canadian rail- ways will be authorized to ef- fect freight rate increases this month that could cast shippers around S20.000.000 a year. it was learned Thursday.
informants said the authoriza- tion is being prepared by the board of transport commission- ers, to allow Canadian rail car- riers to match rate increases on some traffic granted to United States carriers this week by the interstate COInITIEl't.e commission.
The U.S. increases are seven per cent in the East and West and four per cent in the South.
Canada for some years has followed a semi-automatic prac- tice of matching U.S. rate changes on certain types of traf- fic common to the two countries.
ISSUE ORDER SOON
A board order. it was under stood. will be issued in I day or so to permit the Canadian railways to jack up the applic- able rates on Aug. 3.
This is the date on which the US. boosts-estimated to yield the carriers of that country around 330000.000 a year-ge into effect.
Normally.. a matching CllII- ' dian increase could not go tote effect without the railways giv- ing 30 days' notice to shippers. informants said this provision is being waived by the trans- port board to allow Canadian rate hoists Aug. 3.
Traffic chiefly affected by the boosts will consist of the big now of commodities between Canada and the United States. to the Canadian 1 " f worth some 82-li0.0w.tlll a
of this amount. the about 8t31.000.000 and about stzs.ooo.ooo.
Also touched will be rates on various types of Canadian traffic that are hitched to similar United States tolls fer eun- petitive and other purposes. UIHI differentials maintained at the same levels despite rate changes in one country or another. An example is the movement of Canadian grain from the West to Atlantic seaboard parts In Canada and the 11.8.. in which stable differentials are main- talned to give the Canadian P0rts a ct at the business despite I longer, gnd mg-mguy considerably more expensive. rail haul.
