Sharpe in addresing the gath- ering spoke of how this same ser- vice of prayer was being conduct- ed in all the Christian islands and countries of the world.

The Premier revealed that sev- ral plans for electrification of the rovince had been suggested by arlous parties last summer before he Government adopted it scheme hich would be sound and prac- cal for the Island. -

"The people of this Province can se the co-riper.-itive plan of Al- erta and Quebec without cost ex- ept for paying the service line nd in wiring their own homes." e stated. "I believe that if the eople really want electric poivcr e have the means and the over- all general cost will not be as great as some other undertakings we have carried out in the past." Under this plan the Government will bear the cost of constructing the main lines while the poiver will be provided by independent plants. He pointed out that the consumer on a line built by the company and the consumer on the line built at Government exipense

would pay the same rate for their

electricity. This rate will be suf- ficient to cover the operating ex- penses of the company and reds- onable maintcnanco and repair costs of the lines.

"Priorities for construction of lines will be subject to approval by the Public Utilities Commis- sion." he stated. "No application for electricity will be entertained by the Commission unless 75 per cent of the residents wire their property and there are at least four customers to a mile. The greater the number of customers per mile the more consideration will be given to their requests. ”In areas where there are less than four consumers to a mile the pplicants must put up forty per cut of the !i2.000 costs per mile." a stated. This would mean an UUBY 0! 3800 by such consumers. In crises where the qualificat- ions of the applicants are ident- ical the Public Utilities Commis- sion iiill consider the amount of electrincation in each county when making their decision. a

THE GUARDIAN. CHARLOTTETOWR Montague Bridge opened To Voliloular Traffic b x

Photographed above is the new Montague Bridge which opened last evening to vehicular traffic. The crew of workers completed the south ramp and railing in late afternoon and traffic was diverted from the temporary bridge across the new one. Pedcstriaus have been crossing the new bridge for some time but up to the pres- ent vehicles have had to pass over the temporary bridge. However, owing to the difficult travelling over the approaches it was de- cided by the Government Depart- ments to ramp the ends of the new bridge, completed aftcr this photo was taken. to provide pas- sage for the ncxt scvcral necks

pi-oachcs.

It is expected that tenders may be called in the near future so that this work may get under way at an early date. The new bridge is composed of three spans. the centre 80 feet long and the end spans each of 40 feet.

The bridge is supported by two centre piers and abutment: at each end tied into pillars driven to bed rock. The roadway is 24 feet wide. sufficient to submit the passage of large truccks without any tie-up in traffic.

On the right is the 5-foot side- ivalk for pedestrians. and also on the right may be secn the two siaiidams uliich will provide the

The cost to the consumer will depend upon the length of the service line. For the first 25 left

feet thefprice is 53 cents a foot: for 200 feet-59 cents; 300 feet- 40 cents; 400 feet,-39 cents; 600 feet-27 cents. One pole is re- quired for the 200 and 300 foot lines while two poles are ncrcsszii-y for lines from 400 to 600 foot in length.

The Premier paid high tribute to a delegation from First D15- trict. Queens for the manner in which they presented their elec- trical needs. The dclczatluii rcp-

tricts and their brief was read to the Premier by Mr. Louis 0lCon- nor. Cllntnn.

He stated the brief was :1 model presentation nnd that first consid- eration would be given to their demands.

Premier Mathcson also pointed out that it costs one and it half times as much to re-lmintt-. a line as it does to build a new onc. For this rcason he stated extra care would be taken when polcs were being erected along propos- ed routes for roads.

Speaking of the increase of elec- trical energy generated in im-

Provlnce during the past. few years the Premier prcsciitnd thr- followlng figures: In 1952 there

were 38.500.000 kilowatt hours of electricity; in 1951 there was just. over 33.000000 kilowatt hours. In 1952 more than 30,000,000 kilowatt hours were generated by the Maritime Elccti'i(- Company: about 7,000,000 by Summerside and 750.- 000 by Bcales Company.

A more complete outline of the Government's rural olectriflcalinn program will be carried in a later issue.

Other Questions

The Premier spoke for I. time on the proposed plan to assist dis- abled persons. He stated that the Federal Government had invited Provincial representatives to Ot- tawa for I conference with Fed- eral authorities on the matter This assistance will be given tn people who are permanently totally disabled. If the bill is pos- sed the assistance will be given on a 50-50 basis between the Pro- vincial and Federal Governments.

speaking about municipal relief the Premier stated that the pres- ent system in Incorporated towns goes back over 30 years. Accord- ing to the system the Government pays 50 per cent of the Amount that the City grants I person in need.

"If we get. help for the disabled person: there will be very few needy people in the municipal areas who are not receiving old from the Provincial Government," he stated.

The Premier point:-cf out that all people over 70 receive the old Age Pension from the ndpi-iii Ony- ernmsnt. Under the Old Ale As- sistance Act .....ple from so-so re- ceive aid from both the Federal and Provincial Governments.
