THE GUARDIAN. Cl-lARLOT"l'ETOWN

1-Zens (continued from Page 1)

Full. L.H. Poole and .A A; Scales.

The evidence offered beiore.the Board stressed the disadvantage at which shippers of potatoes and turnips particularly were placed if they had to buy or ship from the outer zone. Nearly 30 exhibits were offered and they ranged from maps showing the zone div- isions to charts indicating the ex- tent of the planting of seed pota- toes in each of the freight zones.

Mr. B. Graham Rogers. the first witness yesterday morning. brief- ly described the shape and size of the Province and called it very small. He said there were approx- imately 5,034 miles of highway and 286 miles of railway. He was ask- ed what term Islanders generally applied to people living elsewhere, especially in Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick. He replied 'Maritlm- ers'. but Chief Commissioner Archibald interjected the remark. "They used to call them foreign- ers when I lived here." The application is being pre- sented through the Transporta- tion Commission of the Maritime Board of Trade with Mr. Rand Matheson in charge.

Exhibits Tlbled

Mr. Rogers testified that the two-zone system meant that there were rates for all purposes in the different zones on everything shipped beyond the Maritime Provinces. The first exhibit intro- duced was is map showing the zon- ing of the Province while the sec- ond was I. map indicating the rel- ative position of the Island com- pared to the rest of Canada. The witness called it the only surplus producing food area. in the east apd said the Province depends on that surplus for its livelihood.

In answer to a question whether the compactness of the Island was recognized elsewhere Mr. Rogers replied in the affirmative and stated the Dominion of Canada had so recognized it and had first set up the system of distributing family allowance cheques here. The counsel for the C.N.R. objected to the line of questioning but was overruled and Mr. Campbell re- marked that the C.N.R. itself had used the Island as D. "guinea. pig" on more than one occasion. Mr. Rogers said the railway had set up a separate division here under- one superintendent. the only Prov- ince in Canada to have just one.

Mr. Rogers also presented an exhibit showing the seed potato acreage entered for iiiopoctioii for the years 1048. 1949 and 1950. The chart showed that of the 33.754 acres in 1948 13.434 were in the inner zone and 25,320 in the outer one. In the three year period un- der review there was a progressive cutting down on the acreage in the outer freight zone and last year of a total 34.991 acres entered 13,496 were in the inner zone and 21.495 in the outer.

The fourth exhibit was a ton- nage report of cars ferried on the Borden Cape Tot-mentirie C.N. R. route for the year 1950. It showed a total of 12,552 cars with 7,535 of them originating at points in the inner zone and the balance of 5.017 originating at: points in the outer zone. On carloads ferried to this Province 13.138 of the total was destined tn points in the inner zone and 2,517 for outer zone cen- tres. .

Ii: was pointed out by witnesses that in all probability much of the traffic coming to the inner zone eventually found itself in outer some points. Large firms located in the inner zone received the goods for later sale. One of the items particularly mentioned to illustrate the point was fertilizer. which is processed in this city and reshipped to all parts of the Is- land.

Other exhibits brought questions from the Board. particularly Com- missioner Chase. who inquired as to the apparent discrepancy in the higher number of car ferry trips made in 1946 compared with last. year and the greater number of railway cars carried last year. Mr. Rogers explained that in the early part of 1050 there was I particu- larly heavy movement of potatoes and a large number of cmlliiy Cars had to be brought in to handle the movement.

Water Shipments

Mr. Rogers also presented rt chart showing the number of tons of potatoes shipped by water from here and also by rail and water through the ports of Hall- fax and Saint John. He stated in answer to It. question by Com- missioner Chase that the water rates varied as the shipper could make his own contract with the carrier.

Under Mr. Dyaarl. Mr. Rogers was not surprised to hear that Island potato shippers when shipping to Western Canada were on a one-zone hnsis. Mr. Dysnrt did not feel the zone system made any appreciable difference to the producer or shipper. "You do not think that a potato shin- por in the outer zone is going to sit down and brood over the fact there are .two zones. do you?" He asked Mr. Rogers. The latter replied "Oh no; not here in Prince Edward Island. We no longer brood. we got over that long ago."

Mr. Dysnrt suggested that in- stead of zone systems. rates were really set on shipments to Nova Scott: on "mileage blocks": that is. the rates change slightly with each extra 1) miles of distance to he travelled. Mr. Rogers in- sisted that if he shipped it car from the inner zone the rate was slower than if he shipped it from an outer zone with certain exceptions.

"In other words." said Mr. Dysart. "you are not complaining about the two-zone system. just the effect of it as seen in higher rates from such places as Elmira and Tighten?" But Mr. Rogers objected that some outer zone points were handler the Borden port of exit than some of the inner zone points enjoying the lower rate. ' . p Mr. Dysart then suggested:

Mr. Freedman presented

This was followed by I short ex- change between Mr. Dylart, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Rogers and Com- missioner Archibald wlth Mr Rogers ending it by stating: "We are asking to be made one zone. We are quite I revenue produc- ing source for the C.N.R."

Potato Inspection

There was some discussion as to the reason for farmers enter- ing their crop for seed potato in- spection. The Commissioners were informed it was because as an Island it was possible to keep it practically disease free and thus produce a better product. The witness expressed the belief that the drop in planting in outer zone areas was due to the freight

rate situation.

In answer to some technical questions Mr. Rogers said that there would be experts on Pile info matters to be heard and they could answer better. But he added that the markets now
