If they are not too worried about volume of work, however, they are worried about other things.
Harold .J. Ball, general con- tractor of Kitchener, Ont., the As- sociation’s incoming president, remarked: “It is not a matter of how much volume, but how much good sense we use."
MUST SURVIVE
Top construction men agree that a contractor should make a bid as low as his efficiency and enterprise will allow, but it should not be so low as to ex-- clude the legitimate profit needed for survival. ,
Apparently somebids are too optimistic. The result has been many-failures, and difficulties for those trying to compete with the unrealistic bids.
Here are some quotes from re- ports from various sections of the c o u n t r y read during the
meeting Moncton :Construction in 1958 should a proach that of 1957,
which w a good year, although a little below 1956.
Quebec. City: Construction should equal that of 1957-—which was a busy year with the under- taking of many large govern- ment and industrial buildings.
Toronto: Since the usual slack
period around Christmas and New Year's, it is encouraging to note that 40 new plans and spec- ifications were received in the first three weeks of 1958 for tendering pui'poses._ - ” Cliatham. Ont.: Volume should exceed that of 1957. Special prob- lems centre around housing and necessary services, such as streets, water and sewers.
Windsor, Ont.: The year is starting out with an employment deficit of 15,900. However, the situation ' not quite as bad as the figures would indicate.
Of the- total unemployed, 3,430 are women, of whom 65 per cent are married. And ever since the post - war expansion there has been a monthly average of ap- plicants for employment esti- mated at 3,500. .
Construction Heads Meet
Fort William: The construction industry at the Lakehead shows no sign of depression neurosis. The area will not witness a boom year, but there will be steady construction throughout the build- ing season.
Winnipeg: This year will be favorably active in Manitoba due to the large carry-over of 1957 construction contract a w a r d s. Volume‘ may show a fall-off from 1957, which increased 16 per cent over 1956.
Saskatchewan: Volume should equal that of 1957. Highway con- struction will iriaintain the level of previous years.
Calgary: Volume should ex- ceed that of 1957. We anticipate no special or unusual problems.
Edmonton: Construction will be somewhat‘ lower in the first six months but on the whole the year may eqaul 1957. Costs are a spe- cial pr~oblem..
Kitimat, B.C.: It is estimated that constructino in Kitimat and Kemano will exceed $13,000,000 in 1958. The major portion of this will be spent in finishing work made necessary by the’postpone- merit of the Aluminium Company of Canada expansion program at Kitimat. The smelter addition will allow a rapid start-up of con- struction when additional smelter facilities are required.
Included also in the $13,000,000 figure is an $800,000 office build- ing; land development and muni- cipal-service expenditures; and the start _of a $3,800,000_liospital to be constructed over the next two years.
While the predicted construc- tion value is considerably less
iilian that of 1' .1, when the post-'
ponement of Alcan’s expansion program is taken into account, the situation is normal and healthy.
We are confident that Kitimat will continue to grow and become the major centre of British Co- lumbia's north country.
The Kitimat report was signed by M. Eayrs, szcretary-treasurer of the Kitimat Building Ex- change.
Y’s Men Hear Talk By Airman On Europe

Truckers

small tires on these vehicles a greater amount of damage 0011“ be done to’ the highway. then with the larger vehicles, equip- ped with large tires and ‘ten to eighteen wheels. . _
This winter has been especial- ly trying with a few frosty days and a number of very mild days; on the whole, -however, there could not be very great frost pen- etration or heaving, and a great- er part of the time summer driv- lug conditions exist.
DEPT. POLICY
Your department has adopted A policy that all roads are clos- ed to 6,000 lbs. maximum when it turns mild, to open again auto- matically when the temperature drops to twenty degrees. This is a very unsatisfactory system for_ truckers to plan their work, and comes especially hard on milk and cream haulers, oil and fuel haulers, who have to maintain two different types of vehicles, one for mild weather and one for cold. It is our contention that the Department is taking an un- reasonable stand, and-t t . stead of putting a blanket limit of 6,000 lbs. on all the Highways they should allow the larger trucks to carry a reduced load, say one-third of their summer payload. The Trans Canada High- way especially, built 50 percent by the Government of Canada as an all weather Highway with an axle load of 18,000 lbs. is reduced to 3,000 lbs. axle load, a virtual ban on trucks.
We feel that this Higpway is an avenue of Interprovincial trade and should remain open or at the least reduced only in severe thaw- out conditions to one-half pay- load. The economy of the Island as a whole is affected, as well as the truckers; only recently twenty-seven large trucks and trailers were tied up at Borden alone. While furniture trucks and others, loaded or empty, are pro- hibited from operating, only this morning I saw that three High- way Dump Trucks loaded (to Capacity?) were out on the High- way, and on occasion we see snow-plows, graders. heavy ma- chinery trailers and vehicles of every description whose weight is comparable to large trucks and trailers, travelling on the closed Highway.
WEEKLY COSTS
In our own case (and this ap- plies to others as well), we have a payroll of $1,000.00 per week, license costs $100.00 per week and insurance $150.00, besides over $1,000.00 per month commitments for the payment of equipment and other sundry expenses. It is impossible to remain in bus- mess with the roads opening and closing on a few hours notice.
We serve over 600 business firms from one end of the Is- land to the other, besides indiv- idual shippers, and handle over 20,000 individual interprovincial shipments per year.
Yesterday we had just arrang- ed to load 20,000 lbs. of lambs and poultry for Montreal when we had word that the Highways were closing at noon; this was afterwards delayed until mid- night. Our Packing House, Creameries and Canneries have daily shipments to Sydney, Hali- fax, New Glasgow, Truco, Mone- ton, St. John and the North Shore of New Brunswick; many ord-
ers direct to retail stores in these localities, and with road

He was born at Central Kildare June 25, 1864, a son of the late Martin and Catherine Caliill Fo- ley. The fir.t part of his life was spent in farming and fishing. Some fifty-four yeaixs ago he came to Alberton. He was agent for Frost and Wood machinery and later he became a merchant. In common with many other busi- ness men of the town he lost his store in the disatrous fire of 1919. Mr. Foley was Mayor of Alber- ton in 1919 and again for three

I am making available the de- cision of a Court Case involving the Railroads in the North Eas- tern United States (including the C.N.R. and C.P.R.) vs. the Long Distance Truckers represented by The Pennsylvania Truck Owners Association, where the Railway and their Public Relations Ag- ency were convicted of distribu- ting false and damaging maga- zine articles and ;propaganda against long distance truckers, and damage they did '0 the high- ways; this included articles in the Saturday Evening Post, Read- ers Digest, Harpers Magazine, Country Gentleman, etc., as well as damaging information about the Maryland Road Test, releas- 'ed before the authorities had come to an official conclusion. This propaganda has been read here and has its influence on Pub- lic Opinion and possibly in Gov- ernment ‘circles. - MAINLAND REGULATIONS To date Nova Scotia and New Brunswick have not put any. re- strictions on the roads and New Brunswick does not go below 60 percent of registered weight at any time on tractor trailers: We feel that the Government and its employees are conscientious in their duties and their desire to preserve the Highways, as are the majority of the truckers. However, as this situation is creating a serious hardship on the Island, interfering with In- terprovincial trade aind jeopard- izing P.E. Island markets for. fish, potatoes, turnips, poultry, eggs, meat products and canned goods, we feel that the Govern- ment of Prince Edward Island should review this restriction, with a view to establishing a percentage of gross weight dur- ing spring frost conditions on Is- land roads, and the Trans Can- ada Highway to be left open, with the exception of extreme thaw - out conditions where it might be reduced to 75 per cent or 60 percent of registered weight. As President of the Maritime Motor Transport Association, I can speak for the majority of the truckers on Prince Edward Island and have their support on this submission.
Very truly yours,

The field in which the first hole is to be drilled, is located about one-quarter mile west of the Fifteen Point Road, about one- half mile from Mr. Arsenault’s home in St. Raphael.
The road, when completed, will be of suitable construction for handling heavy equipment as it is to be covered with crushed gravel heauled in from O’Leary.”
The Imperial Oil Company have leased three acres of the 60-acre parcel of land owned by Mr. Arsenault in this area, and work is scheduled to begin within the
next two weeks. He also owns 25 acres of land on which his home and farm buildings are located.

The work will involve the open- ing of a stairway in the womens division and will be such that patients can be moved on stret- cher or otherwise instead of the practice of removing them out- side the building when it becomes necessary to have them transferr- ed to the Active Treatment Cep- tre. The stairway will have direct copnection with the Hospital tun- no.
that with the removal of 30 or more male patients to the Hills- boro Hospital an opportunity to carry out repairs in the men’: division will be made available. LOCAL PROBLEM
speaking of maintenance at Riverside, Mr. MacKlnnon stated -it was most difficult to maintain an institution of this sort to the same degree as could be expected in other institutions. This is due to the fact that destruction of furnishings and equipment will take place in spite of everything that is done to prevent it. . During the past year the laun- dry at Riverside has been enlarg- ed andlas more equipment be- came available more of the laun- dry from the Infirmary is being taken care of. It is hoped that in the near future the need for extensive laundry facilities at the Infirmary will not be required. During the year a new nurses

AT THE JAIL
At the jail the problem of main- tenance also presents a problem. The irresponsible nature of the inmates is the chief factor in- volved in this work and an over crowding situation which develops each winter further augments the difficulty.
At the Sanatorium a new boiler has been installed. This will give ample standby heating facilities and will enable the staff to let one boiler down from time to time without diminishing the central heating supply. The boilers at the San also heat the Queen Char- lotte High school.
OTHER DUTIES
In addition to maintaining the public building in Charlottetown the Department of Public Works has to do maintenance work on the jails and court houses at Georgetown as well as several Government garages throughout the Island.
It is only two years ago that the Department of Public Works was separated from the Department of Highways. A year ago Mr. John Gilmore was appointed building maintenance engineer in charge of plumbing, electrical, heating and structural maintenance.
