Annual Meeting Board Of Trade

(Ccnfnued from Page 5)

Important Year The year i931 will go down 1n MSW‘? B5 the Year which saw brought to “mbletion the efforts °1 many former executives and presidents of this Board. I can think of no greater honour, than to have been President of the Charlottetown Board of ‘Trade during the year 1931, and to have Bil-Operated and worked with such a wflllnx. unselfish, far-sighted and keen-minded group of bust- ness men.

Durlnz the veer, twenty-four Council Meetings of the Board were held. besides the regular quarterly meetings and comnfltbgg meetings.

The Chairmen of the various Committees have dealt speclficially with the work of each committee, so I shall not here repeat. except to call your attention to some of the high spots of the year's acti- vities.

One o! the first matters which occupied the attention of the Board was with regard to the im- provement of the service of the Murray Harbour Branch of the Canadian National Railway. The committee of the Board spent a great deal of time on this matter and I regret that the results ob- tained are not more gratifying. However, certain minor improve- ments have been made. This is a matter that should be followed up by the in-comlng ve

The question ,0! increased subsi- dy to this Province also occuped the attention of the Board and it gave its hearty co-operation to the Government in this matter.

Early in the season it was called to the attention of our Board that Mr. J. Hearn, Instructor R. C. N. V. R.. had received notice of trans- fer. The Board, along with other organizations sent a. vigorous pro- test to Ottawa with the result that Mr. Heam is still in our midst and his transfer has been cancelled.

WINSLOE UNITED CHURCH services Sunday, Jan. 17th: High- field, 11; Princetown Road, 3; Win- sloe North, 7. Rev. L. J. Leard, Min- later.

OFFICERS ELECIED — At a largely attended meeting of the Young People's Society, of Zion Church held in the Church Hall, Tuesday evening the omcers for the year were elected, names being sub- mitted by a nominating committee which had been appointed at a pre- vious meeting. Honorary Presidents, Rev. G. C. Webster and Mr. Mur- dock Rosa; President, Mr. Reginald MacNutt; Vice-president, Mrs. W. A. Burns; Secretary, Mr. Burton Liv- ingrton; Treasurer, Mrs. J. B. Mur- ley; Con. Programme Committee, Miss Ruby Campbell; Con Visiting Committee, Mrs. A. MacEachern; Con. Membership Commitee, Mr. B. Livingston; Con. Social Committee, Mrs. H. H. Jewell; Con. Ways and Means Committee, Mrs. Norman MacPherson; Pianist, Miss Edith Craswell. Mrs. E. A. Cudniore and Mrs. H. H. Jewell were appointed by the choir as team captains. A social hour followed and a very pleasant evening was enjoyed.

A FAMILY REUNION-The five sons of Mr. and Mrs. W. '1‘. Ander- son, Morell, Prince Edward Island, for the first time in fifteen years to meet together at their old home, ar- rived hcme for Christmas Day. Bartlett, of tho Nova Scotia Power‘ Commission, whose headquarters are at Liverpool, N. S., also Wilfred, aa- sistant Superintendent of the Boston and Lockport Block Co., of East Boston, accompanied by his wife, arrived on Decembe 23rd. Fulton H, Professor of Philosophy at Tc- ronfo University, arrived on 24th, E. H., traveller for the Wm. Brown Co., Ltd., Seedmen, Toronto, on Christmas Day, also E. W., propri- etor of Morell Garage, made up the total family, being a pleasant sur- prise for their parents. They were unable to stop over only a short timerhavlng to return to their res- pective positions, and hoping that they would not be too long in meet- ing again.

Outstanding Events

On March 38th the Council of the Board had the pleasure of hearing an address by Mr. Mooney, General Manager of the World's Grain Congress which was to have been held in Regina this present year. The address was both inter- esting and instructive. This Grain Congress will be held on July twenty-fourth to August fifth, 1933.

On May twenty-sixth the Board had arranged to entertain the Newfoundland Delegates to the Rotary Convention by means of a drive to Summer-side and ' ‘eon

however, so the delegates were tendered an infonnal luncheon at the Canadian National Hotel. Needless to say this act on the pnrt of the Board was appreciated and, thus, another important link was forged in the chain connecting us with Newfoundland.

on which your Council and com- mittee spent a great deal of time w" Wm! regard to the air-mail and landing field. Early last season it became known, that through the "Murine of m. J. s. Jenkins, a field was available for the estab- " ‘ of a lilfldlng port, Your committee had worked long and "B10151? 1n cu-operation with the Government to have a landing field established. It is pleasing- to note that the field has been estab- lished and a scheduled plane ser- vice has been put into effect be- tween this City and Moncton, New Brunswick. When your President assumed office it was foreseen that this matter was of sufficient im- portance to occupy the attention of a standing committee, conse- 011911515’. an air-mail and air port committee was named. The amount of work accomplished, and the possibilities for further extension of this work justifies in my opinion the continuance of this Committee. It does not require much fore-sight to be able to see our malls, passen- gers. express and lighter freight being transferred by air plane. When it became known that e. level crossing was proposed at Cape Tormentine for automobiles en route to the car ferry, your- Board vigorously protested because of the apparent danger to life and property. Considerable correspond- enoe ensued and several consulta- tions were held with the Railway authorities, including one with the Engineer of the Board of Railway Commissioners. The Board was assured, that, while it did not ap- pear feasible to eliminate the level crossing. yet, every possible pre- caution would be taken to prevent accidents.

Upon request, your Board also made arrangements for the sitt- ings of The Chignecto Canal Com- mission on November second. At that hearing your President con- ducted the examination of thc witnesses and theprcsentction of the briefs.

An energetic effort was made to have the British embargo on pota- toes lifted. Much study was given this matter by a special committee. The matter is still under consider- ation by the parties interested.

Urged Duncan Report Fulfillment

The Board has continued its po- licy of urging that the accounting of the car ferry-service be elimina- ted from the Railway accounts. This was one of the recommenda- tions of the Duncan Commission and is of paramount importance to this Province, and the whole At- lantic Region of the C. N. R.

Another matter which was re- ferred to a special committee, a matter which may be of inestima- ble value ito our merchants here- that of power rates for electric energy in this City. This required a great amount of research and study. As the matter is now before the Board of Commissioners of Public Utilities, further comment will not be made.

Another matter which is receiv- ing the attention of n. special com- mittee of the Board is with regard to desired changes in the seniority list of firemen on the C. N. R. as provided for in the Montreulagrec- ment. This is receiving the careful attention of the Committee.

Your Praident attended the Peace Meeting held in the Strand ‘Theatre on November second last, 9, report‘. of which you have no doubt read.

As President of the Board I also attended the formal opening of the Canadian National Hotel, in this City, on April fourteenth. This constituted n. new social cm for this Province.

The above, together with consid- erable correspondence and.rout'nc business are some of the matters which have occupied your Boards attention for the past yciir . If through its efforts the commercial life of our Province has been assist ed or benefited then your Board is content.

We are ever reminded of the flight 0f t'me and as _we meet at these annuiil meetings it is always our sad duty to record the passing of some great figures from our midst. It is fitting, therefore, that we make reference to the passing of three a.’ our members, the late A. A. Pomeroy, A. A. Alley and E. E. Parkman. Not only their friends but the whole city and Province will deeply regret their passing for they were all men who "kept their friend- ships in repair."

Appreciation 0i‘ Press

In concluding this report I ivish to express the thanks of the Board to the Press. At each meeting rc- preeentativee of the Press were present to report the procccdings and to assist in shaping public opinion. To the representatives of the Press I lay "Thank youf?‘

AIR MAIL AND AIR. PORT Report submitted by Mr. Robert L. Cotton, Chairman of the Air Mail and Air Port Committee:

At the first Council meeting held in January last (1931) the question of Air Mail was considered and application was at once made to the Postmaster General for service slmiizr to that provided in the ivinter of 1030. The train con- nection with inc Ocean Limited in- ‘ward ceusccl on Saturday, January 10th and 0n Monday, January 12th mull was brought over by air continuing with the greatest regul- arity until sdurday, April 25th, the full double or summer train service beginning on Monday. April 27th.

Towards the end of the year after the curtailment of mail and passenger service with the main- land to one trip per day, the ad- visability of applying for Air Mull wzs brought before the Council on two occasions but the Council de- cided that it would be unwise to apply for Air Mail until the applic- ation of the Board for restoration of the double daily train service had been heard by the Railway Commisrioners for Canada.

Jenkins had valuable assistance from the Provincial Department of Public Works in clearing and pre- paring the ground through the loin of departmental machinery and operators. But apart from this nn excellent and beautifully situated field with modern equin- mcnt is now available for use by this community. at no expense whatever todhe municipal treasury and no money grant was made by the Province. A~ very successful. largely attended Air Pageant was hcld to inaugurate the opening 0f the new Air Port on August 31st. a regular passenger air service was inaugurated bctwcen Moncton and Cirrlotictcwn in October. which has been considerably patronized, anld the air-mindedness o‘! our community is being developed at a rate possibly as rapid, proportion- ately to its size, as anywhere in Canada. A quite rapid develop- ment of air-truisportation be- twccn this Province and the main- lnnd may be expected.

Provincinl and Civic auihoritis might well cc-opcrate in keeping the road to the. Air Port in the best condition possible.

FISHERIES _

Report submitted by Mr. W. F. Tidmarsh, Chairman cf the Fisher- ies Committee:

The value of our Provincial Hah- rries in 1931, was approximately as ‘allows:

lobsters $779,222.00 All other branches 302,308.00 Total $981,500.00

The lobster fishery is by far the 0st important of our Provincial lsheyles. This fishery and the oy- cr fishery in 1031 showed an in- ecse over the previous year. All her branches declined. For several years past the lobster shcry throughout the Maritime ‘rovlnces has snowed a. gratifying increase and with a strict enforce- ment of the present regulations, coupled with a reasonable restriction of the units of production, the per- manency of the Industry may be considered reasonably certain. Packers and fishermen should bear in mind that a large increase in the units of production depletes the fishery, diminishes the individual returns, and increases the cost of production, making the business un- profitable to the fishermen engag- ed in it. Experiments conducted by ofllcials of the Fisheries Departments, hav- ing in view the restoration of our Oyster Areas to their former pro- ductiveness has met with marked success. At Bedford in i929, when these experiments were commenced the quantity of oysters on the beds was negligible. At the present time a conservative estimate of the oysters now on these beds is placed at between 2,500 and 3,000 barrels. This demonstration shows that our oyster areas may be profit- nbly cultivated. The Department of Fisheries should receive the support of the country for its efforts in educational work, having in view the conserva- tion of our fisheries, and the im- provement of our fishery products. On the conservation of our fishery resources and the quality cf the pro- duct, the success of the Industry de- pends. ' .
