It was pointed out in the brief. submitted by J. C. Carroll. com- mittee chairman. that "it is pos-

I'illl“ that naiiy citizens cannot even at the present price. therefore. we do not consider that the sale of margarine would detri- mental to the dairy industry in this province." SUGGEST NEW FERRY

It was suggested that the gov- ernment "look into the possibil- ity of having a new car ferry constructed containing rails to assist in the transportation of perishable t r a ffi c during the periods of the year when con- nections to and ham tl ain- land are most difficult and that this car ferry be similar in size and power to the MV Abegweit."

This suggestion was based on the fact “that the committee re- alizes the proposed causeway could not possibly be to opera- tion during the next few years."

Pointing out that the. basic in- dustry of the province is agric- ulture and its allied products.

‘which are generally in t h II I k. necessitating compact transportation of a "positive na- ture." the committee said “it is our considered opinion that the people of this province and the. government are the people to de-l -cide whether or not rails are. necessary on the p r o p o s e (if causeway . . . cssary even without mentioningl the. periods. spring and fall.'3 when heavy hauling is barredi from the highways." .1
