Will Discuss Marshland i u. s. Projects With Maritime} Thinks War Gan Ministers At MonctoniBe Avoided

orrrawa, July as- (spanni- Agriculture Minister Gardiner left

a meeting at Moncton to discus" draining of the marshlands cf Nova Scotia. New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island with Hons. A. W. MacKenzie. AC. Taylor and W. F. Alan Stewart. Ministers cf Agriculture of the three Maritime Provinces.

An amount of 340.000 was allo- cated in the Marshlands Drainage Bill No. 328 on May 31 this yea. for drafting of plans and a survey of the marshes which it is pro- posed io drain. plow and seed. Total cost of the drainage project is estimated at $3,210,000. Larges: single item of the project is $80K- 000 for construction of 10 very large aboiteaux at 680.000 each.

It is understood that Mr. Gal'- diner will discuss immediate 4.:- ion on the drainage cf the Man- time marshlands and at the some time will obtain ideas of the three Agriculture Ministers as to how best the work can be carried out.

Mr. Gardiner declined to reveal prior to his departure for the Mari- times what compensatory works would be granted to Prince Edward Island in view of the fact that the area to be reclaimed is very small in comparison to marsh areas in Nova Scotia and New Bruns wick. So small indeed is the Hilts- borough area rnea-shland. that hr speaking of the bill as a whole. lvir. Gardiner said 60~per cent of the work would be done in Nova Scotia and 40 per cent in New Brunswick.

Replying to a query on this point from Mr. J. Watson during the recent sesion of Par- liament, Mr. Gardiner said the Government contemplated "some form of compensatory agricultural assistance" to the Island Provznce.

It is certain that the Prince Edward Island Minister of Agil- culture will ask concessions for ns Province proportionate to those oe- ing made to Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. Moreover. since Mr Gardiner is making a fight for the leadership of the Liberal Party of Canada. it is likely he will go as far as he can to meet Prince Ed- ward Island's requests.

In addition to the Federal Agri- culture Minlsters mision 01! marshlands. he will be certain m remind his Liberal friends in the Maritimes of his bid for party leadership and solicit their suppmt

Is that slender majority of lee" than 5.000 enough to make Car.- ada want to accept Newfoundland as a 10th province?
