1,150-mlle - Flight By Ice Patrol

._._..

The Government aerial ice pa- trcl operating out of Charlotte- town made n f,l50-mlie flight out over the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Strait of Belle Isle ves- cdnditions were found to be much improved in some areas while the ice in other areas seemed to be much slower in breaking up.

On the Quebec side of the Strait of Belle Isle there la open water to Mutton Bay and on the Newfoundland side as far as Bay of ‘Islands. except In the Bay of St. George which is still full of heavy ice. From Mutton Bey and Bay of Islands going north tow- nrds Belle Isis the ice is very heavy. and the prospects for an early opening of navigation there arc not very good, and the land on the north side is covered with snow.

Mr. Angus Brown. official ice observer for the Department of Transport. said that they saw three dog teams. with about twelve dogs in each term, haul- ing wood across the ice at Fort- eau Bey on the Labrador coast. Mr. Brown said that seals are not very plentiful at present ,in the Strait o1 Belle Isle, but that they dld sight about five thousand off Port Saunders. on the Newfound- land side .of the Strait.

In the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the ice has moved off East Point. P.E.l. for a distance of about l5 miles, which should help relieve Northunberland Strait consider- ably, Mr. Brown stated, but that the ice is still heavy around the Magdalen Islands.

Souris harbour is now open to the end of the docks. and should be completely open in the r-ext two or three days, Mr. Blown concluded.

Ileavy’ Loss In Greenhouse Fire

A greenhouse. owned by lvltr- Ar- thur Burke of Southport, was de-_ stroycd by fire about 5 o'clock yes- terday morning. ~

The origin of the fire is un- known. The building. a. glass structure 50 feet long and 20 wldc. was heated by e. brick furnace. Mr. Burke. a market gardener of con- siderable experience, is in hospital undergoing medical treatment and did not learn of his loss until sometime later.

Several thousand young plants were in the greenhouse and their loss at this time of year consti- tutes a heavy loss.

moved it and said he did so be- cause the C.C.F. motion dld not sufficiently stress the need of the railways for more revenue.

His motion also criticized IAIIB Government. for not granting a stay in the increase.

" But it went further than that. It also urged the House to ex- press regret that the Govern- rnent had failed to correct exist- ing inequalities in the rete struc- ture before allowing the increase.

Votes on the two motions, either one of which could defeat the Government if carried. likely will come ccmorrow or ‘Iihursday. The Progressive Conservative amendment will be voted 0,0 first; the C.C.F. m0ti0r| second.

The Progressive Conservative Party may declare itself unable to support the C.CF. motion on the ground of its failure to deal with railway revenues. In that case. the cor. Party likely will draw its sole support from the Social Credit group.

The Progressive Conservatives. however. may possibly win sup- port from both of these minor groups through their reference in their amendment to "inequal- question of the in- equality of rate has developed info a nwjor side issue in the debate. _

Senator McIntyre Home From Interesting Visit , To The Pacific Coast

Senator J. P. McIntyre returned home on Monday evening after a very pleasant and interesting trip to the Rciiic Coast. in the course of which he met 'many former Prince Edward Islanders and had the unusual experience of being train-wrecked. though fortunately without any serious injury to any of the passengers or crew. The latter incident occurred on the return trip through Ontario.

The Senator left Ottawa on March 28 for Vancouver, travel- ling ‘by way of Winnipeg and E'- monton to Jasper. Aita.. thence 1.: Prince George, B. C., where tic visited Mr. Castle It. MacKcnzic, a native of Scotchfort. P. E. I.. and a fine example of Prince Edwaru Islanders who have made good 1n the West. Mr. MacKenzie. who followed the contracting business in different parts of British Col umbis for several years, installed the water system in the flourish- ing town of Prince George. and has been foreman at the for the past few years. He has twc- daughters who are stenographers. a son in the medical profession and another son who is studying for the priesthood.

Senator McIntyre also met Mr. E. McEachern in Prince George. a son of a former roadmsste: on till P. E. 1’. railway.

On his way up from Jasper to Prince George he met Mr. C. S. Earner, the superintendent of tne C. N. R. from Prince Rupert to Jasper, a territory covering a. dis- tance of some 700 miles. Mr; Ber nel- was very hospitable to Senat- or McIntyre, inviting him to luncn in his privata car. and giving nini a. detailed description of the mag- nificent. mountain scenery through which they were passing. Among other things. he pointed our. the source of the Fraser River, ivhidi at that point was e. modest stream some three or four feet wide.

Mr. Berner later, sent a. wire apprising Senator McIntyre of the death at. Ottawa on March 28 of a. former Prince Edward ls- lander, Dr. John Duncan McLean. who had been Premier of British Columbia at one time.‘ and who

Oify Wins Tax Appeal Base

Word was received from Ottawa yesterday to the effect that the tax appeal case of J. W. Windsor Com parly, Ltd. vs. the City of Char- lottetown. ileard some weeks ago before the Supreme Court of Carl- ada, had been won by the City, the appeal being dismissed.

The case involved a tax of $1350 imposed on the Windsor Company by the City for goods (lobsters) which the company claimed it was holding for shipment abroad. lrhe company claimed the goods were exempt under the statute.

The first ilearirlg was before the Board of-Appeal for the City. The Company appealed from the Board's decision to the Supreme Court of this Province, when the two trial judges gave conflicting judgments. It was then tsken‘be-' fore the Supreme Court at Ottawa. with the result above noted.

Much interest has been taken iii the appeal proceedings. as they were in the nature of a test. case.

McIntyre had met at Prince George. flew in Vancouver at this time and they had a second pleas- ‘ant meeting together. On Sunday. April 4. Mr. Mcliiachern, Mr. Mc- Adam and his son. and Senator McIntyre motored to Everett. Washington. and visited Mr. Bruce‘ McAdam. whom the Senator had not seen for upwards of forty years. A retired contractor, Mr. McAdam has a beautiful home in Everett, where the party spent a very en- joyable afternoon. They returned to Vancouver the same evening.

On the following day Senator McIntyre met a. brother of Senator Jolm E. Sinclair. who hospitabiy drove him around to the various places of interest in Vancouver, including Stanley Park.

On his trip west they had run into a little snow storm about. 200 miles east of Vancouver, when they came upon fine weather. with green grass and beautiful flowers. The gardens had been planted and everything had a summer appear- once.

Arriving at. Calgary, they eu- countel-ed weather stormy and cold, with the thermometer regis- tering 10 below. Snow covered the Prairies from Alberta to Northern Ontario, and a storm all the way.

With interest centred on the rate debate, there xvas little activity in the opening stages. Trade Minis- ter Howe made a brief ailllouncc- nlcnt of the resignation of F. L. M. Arnold of Winnipeg as a membr: of the Canadian Wheat Board. effective May 15.

Returrlmg to Jasper. Senator McIntyre proceeded to Vancouver. In some places snow slides had blocked the track. He was in- formed that the c. N. R. keeps engines and snow plows stationed at different points continuously to meet these emergencies. In severe‘ places in the mountains the snow cuts were up to the car windows.

Arriving at Vancouver on Thurs day morning, April 1, he took Bil’. bus from the C.N.R. station to the C. P. R. pier. where he boarded the boat. for Victoria. On the way he met a. gentleman by the name of Kendal, whom he had met. in his office in the Public Works De- partment here about eighteen years ago.

He visited the Legislative As- sembly in session at Victoria and watched the procedure with much intcrestvfor a couple of hours. Later he met the new British Co- lumbia Premier, Mr. Johnston. who is a. native of Iceland. He also met the Attorney General and the former Premier, Hon. John Hart, who hails from Ireland. He had the pleasure also of meeting Dr. J S. Gillie, e native of Miscouchc. this Province, who has been in the British Columbia House for twenty-two consecutive years.

lvlr. Chevrier said that if the Government withheld the rate in- creases tiiis would "unquestionably" force amalgamation of Canada's two main lines-Canadian Pacific Railway Co. and Canadian Na- tional Raiiways-by driving the C. P. R. into liquidation for lack of revenues. '

For the C. N. R., the Govern- ment wouid be forced to provide between $45,000,000 and $50,000,000 a year to make up its deficits. The i947 deficit totalled $15,885,000.
