"It is noted that if such request be granted it is the desire of the Railway to remove all mixed train service in this Province. .

"We believe that the Railway transportation facilities in this Province are subject to the terms of Confederation and thereby come under the Jurisdiction of the Legis- lature of this Province and the Parliament of Canada.

everybody in Canada are Joint shareholders of this vast enter- prise and, therefore should use every means at our com d see that a Just and equitable de- cision is forthcoming with respect to our Canadian National Rail- ways.

Mixed Train Services

"This action would, conservat- ively estimated, remove about sixty percent (60917) of our train and engine service employees from the payroll of the C.N.R. to say no- thing of the station agents, oper- ators, etc. All oi these employees are natives of. this Province, tax- payers, and in most cases home owners who have children in the midst of their education.

buases. In practice what does this mean? It means that the Junior men are laid oi! first, or in the reverse order of seniority, then when the further lay-oi! comes, and come it will, thcreiwiil be a number of senior men with fam- ilies who will be unable to work on the buses or trucks because the jobs shall have been filled. "Evidence produced at a hear- ing conducted by the Board oi

rate zone question in Prince Ed- ward Islsnd, June 6. 1951, is in part as follows: Treight unloaded at Prince Edward Island stations amounted to 202,599 tons in 1032; 494,960 tons in 1947; 541,725 tons in 1048 and 414,722 tons in 1950'.

"Operation of the Borden-Ton mentino carferry as shown in the submissions of the Provincial Gov- ernment to the Royal Commission on Transportation, 1949, contains further proof of the large increase in railway traffic in this Province during the past number of years, viz:-1918: 1,011 single trips. 1028: 3.601 single trips. 1943: 4,255 sin- gle trips; 41,705 railway cars fer- ried. 1948: 3,665 single trips; 52,- 620 cars ferried. and we under- stand that in 1950 there were more than 54,000 railway cars handledt. "Our business men tell us that the freight revenue in this Pro- vince is about 312,000,000 per year. our population is increasing year- ly and we therefore see no good reason for reducing our railway facilities. "As practical railway men we have long held the opinion that the people of this Province are entitled to a better pass ser- vice but, we do not believe this proposed bus service is, the answer. Rather we believe that the freight and passenger service should ' be separated as far as possible and the passenger service handled by modern Diesel unit cars which would give the people a service they would patronize. l

Diesel Unit Carl

"Prom press reports and other sources we understand that it will require from nine to twenty busses to operate this proposed service, depending on whether the railway operate all or only part of the bus service. It is estimated that these modern busses cost about 330,000 each and on our roads they are good for only five years, that is to say they would have to be com- pletely rencwed in five years, with very high maintenance costs while in service.

"Our years of association with the travelling public of this Pro- vince leave us convinced that the people want a fast, convenient rail service that will permit them suf- ficient time in Charlottetown and other centres, to do their shopping or business and get home at a reasonable hour in the evening. "We have Diesel unit cars in service today that were in service in 1920 and modem Diesel unit cars should be more eificient and less costly to maintain and oper- ate. Further we believe that five modern Diesel unit. cars would take care of all of the mixed train services that could be economically or equitably removed, and for ex- ample: this past winter is consid- ered to be the most severe we have had since 1926, yet we are con- vinced that there were not more than twenty days that Diesel unit cars could not have operated with- out plow assistance, whereas the roads were closed to bus service for about four months.

"When we say five Diesel unit cars we are referring to the ser- vice between Charlottetown, Bouris. Georgetown, Murray Harbour and Tignlsh, where Diesel unit care, capable of handling a trailer, should give our people a passenger service second only to our main- land through trains and, with two or three man crews instead of the five man crews the present service requires.

Utilisation of Power

"Utilization of power is a very important item in railroading. Un- der our present system we have a. number of engines tied up at these outside terminals about twelve hours daily and thirty-six hours over the weekend. with Diesel cars in operation these en- glnes would be released for almost round the clock freight service. "The maintenance and building of our highways is a charge upon the taxpayers of this Province whereas the maintenance of our railway facilities is the responsi- bility of all the people of Canada, through the Department of Trans- port and the Canadian National Railways.

”wo wish to explain that we are not objecting to the operation of trucks in l.c.i. freight service. If they are good for the railway and give our people a better service we are for i.hem.

"We realize the grave responsi- bility that has been Placed on your committee and we have no desire to beiabour or confuse this mug, but would ask you to give serious consideration to the fol- lowing:

"Is this application in the but interest of the Canadian National Railways? will the. proposed re-

oil at its Council meeting of May 16th last. read as follows:

"A special meeting of the Council of the Charlottetown Board of Trade was held at the home of R. 0. Parent, Experimental Farm, Charlottetown, on Tuesday, April 29th, 1952 at 8 p.m. with the act- ing president J. Gordon MacDon- ald in the chair and the following members in attendance: Earle C. Baker; Keith MacKinnon: Dr. Frank MacKinnon; 1!. Graham Rogers: Maurice -' c" Philip 5. Cobb; Frank A. MacKen- zie; James C. Montgomery; Frank W. Curtis; M. Alban Farmer; Rob- ert C. Parent: F. Walter Hynd-

secretary.

”Present as special guests of the Council for the occasion were 0. N. R. otlicials F. A. Gaflney, Chief of Transport Research: C. T. Montgomery, local superinten- dent; Charles Gillispie, Research Department; and L. J. MacDon- ald, district freight and passenger agent.

"The chairman welcomed the C. N. R. officials to the meeting and explained the purpose of the meet- ing as providing an opportunity for the C.N.R. to present to the Council its case in support of the granting to it of a highway bus franchise for this Province.

”There followed a full presenta- tion of the C.N.R. case by Mr. Gaffney, supported by the other officials in attendance, with num- erous questions put by the Coun- cil members and answered in de- tail by those officials.

Assurances Summarised

"Out of said discussion and queries the following appear to be the facts:

"1. The C.N.R.'s proposal to substitute a bus service in lieu of the present passenger train ser- vice in this Province comes about because of a desire on the part of the C.N.R. to effect economies in their operations here and likewise provide an improved service to its Island patrons;

"2. To operate the proposed bus service the C. N.R. proposes to set up an Island Company, being a subsidiary of the C.N.R., whose schedules, rates, etc., would be directly under review by our own Public Utilities Commission at all times;

"3. It will be remembered that the C.N.R. instituted a trucking service in this Province last year for l.c.i. freight, and plans call for a considerable extension of that service this year;

"4. No present track or equip- ment will be abandoned as the same shall continue to handle car- load services and would be kept in readiness at all times and would immediately be brought into ser-

man; and A. Walthen Gaudet, the.
