Exhibition Ass'n Seeks Loan

From City For New Built

A request for an interest-free loan of 890.000 by the Charlotte- town Driving Park and Provin- cial Exhibition Association. was taken under advisement by the City Council at the regular monthly meeting held last night.

The request was made on the basis of a recent Provincial Or- riersin-Council making available to cities loans up to 810 per hand of population by the Provincial Government.

A considerable amount of dis- cussion arose on the subject as several Councillors felt that the city would have to borrow on this basis from the Government to finance the new high school. Due to this they did not feel that they should endanger their bor- rowing position by making a loan of this size. However. it was em- phasized that the city fully real- ized the value as a tourist attrac- tion of Old Home Week and if the requested loan would not pre- judice its position serious con- aideratlon would be given it.

The Exhibition Association in- tends to erect a new building for the, general purpose of a display source for agriculture as well as for physical fitness and youth training. The completed building is estimated to cost approximate- ly 5150.000 and the Association offered repayment on the basis of 10 yearly installments of S9.- 000 each. Their letter to the Council stated the Association had already entered into a con- tract with the Provincial and Federal Governments whereby it will receive 510.000 yearly from rach until the amount of 070,000 has been paid. It was also stated that in addition to the company's xuaranteo to give the City Cor- poration security as against the new building until the indebted- ness is paid in full.

Councillor F. J. Storey told the Council that there was consider- able dissatisfaction with the pay

Si. Lauren-i Hears Details From ” Premier Bennett

UITAWA. (OP)-Prime Minister St. Laurent promised Monday to give "careful study” to British Col- umbia, proposals for a multt-mil- lion-dollar joint federal-provincial economic attack on ifha Pacific coaatfa hinterland.

The proposals, as placed before the prime minister by Premier W. A. C. Bennett. would link up the province's north and south with an expanded rail and road system and protect B. C.'a forest wealth through a 313,000,000 conservation and fire-protection program.

Mr. Bennett. who conferred with Mr. St. Laurent and his ministers, told a press-conference he feels sure the federal government will co-operate on all three fronts- rail. road and forests.

Federal participation. he est.- imatcd. will cost Ottawa more than 0l50.000.C0(l over the next five years. But: the "investment" would pay off in increased revenue. The money by paying about 38,000,000 a year in interest. The projects would boost federal revenue by about s30,000.000 a year.

Mr. Bennett suggested that length- ening the Pacific Great Eastern Railway will provide a rail "bridge" between the northern Pcace river area and southern markets.

The Peace River area, said Mr, Bennett, is rich in ngricuitiiro. coal. timber. natural gas nnd potential oil fields. In fact. the uhole of northern B. C. was it "vast store--house of untouched re- sources" hcid back from develop- mmt by an inadequate t.rnnspol'tn- lion system.

"We may take encouragement. 'fl-om the allnounced intention of the U. 8. government to review its agricultural policies in an attempt to find longer-tenn solutions of a

its kind. followed a. report to Pres- ident. Eisenhower by the U. S. tariff commimion recommending that because of domestic surpluses and U. 5. price-suipiport programs. imports should be restricted.

The Canadian government real- ized the "serious consequences" which would result of the U. S. had imposed her own import. curbs on oats "extending far into the fut- ure." The decision was to agree to a "temporary arra.ngetnent. whereby Canada undertook to limit exports of oats to the U, S. to a reasonable quantify for a relative- ly short period."

Market In Canada

Unlike wheat. the big marketfor Canadian cats is in Canada it.- self. Of Canada's 466,000,000-bushel I952 crop. about 373,000,000 bushels were used in Canada.

This year Canada produced a smaller 405,500,000-buaheul crcvp. which mgether with a. carryover of 136,500,000 bushels. brought. her supplies on Aug. 1. to about 642,- 00D.000 bushels.

In the period Aug. 1-Doc. l. 1052. Canada. exported about 30,000,000 buahela no the U. S.. her only major market. Prauming she ships the 23,000,000 bushels allowed her before the crop year ends next July 81, total exports to the U. S. in the current crop year would amount to about 53,000,000 buaheis.
