Eli/lakes Appeal On ' Behalf 2f P.E.I.

Conservative Leader Hanson Re- fers To Island’s Transportation Problems In Commons Debate.

OTTAWA, Nov. lit—(CP)—An appeal on behalf oi’ tho truck users m Prince Edward Island was made in tho House of Commons today "- Conservative Loader Hanson lwho claimed tho high ferry charges constituted a high tariff against inter-provincial trade.

Mr. llansoil said it cost as much as $50 for an Island farmer to take s truck load of produce to the mainland and bring back ooai or

other necessities.

He said the car-ferry charge for n. five-ton truck was 52A for a round trip. A three-ton load would add freight charges bringing the total rouml trip cost to $50. “What would other provinces think of such s cost. whit-h is equivalent to a tariff; ln order to cross the border of an adjoining province?” Mr. Hanson asked.
