Knowles, CNR. com- mission traffic representative, sub- mitted current rates charged on eight different types of motor vehicles. He also submitted oom- parative rates for motor trucks on vessels operated by railways be- tween various points in Canada and northern United States. to- gether with figures obtained from four different sources used in ar- riving at average weights for var- ious sized trucks of 1. 2 and S-ton capacity. The. Chairman: "Under the present truck regulations, a Ii-ion truck would be about the heaviest that could be carried on the Bor- den ferrv?" Mr. Knowles: "On the upper deck. yes. Anythin! in excess of 8.0M pounds must go on a flat zar." The Chairman: “so from a practical point, of view of trans- portation of goods by truck over this ferry- the limitation of 8.000 pounds makes the movement not worth rv much to a trirtl: car- rier?" "That would be Mr. Knowles: right. sir." Mr. Dysart: "Ia that limitation of 8.000 nounds placed there for any considered reason?"

Mr. Dysart: "Would it be can "05 t0 58y that if a truck were shipped bv rail within the Mgr]- time ihces on a flat car the rates would be higher than if the car were loaded on the ferry?" Mr. Knowles: "The total cost would be more. Other Ferries Witness referred to figures sub- mitted re truck rates on other railway veseala in Canada, with one or two in the United States. Of flve C. N. R. ferries listed, the average rate ls $5.92 per mile for transporting a 5.000 pound truck. and the general average is $3.04 compared with 60 cents on the Borden-Tormentine ferry for a truck and $1.00 per mile for a large truck. "So hat I would be safe in saying e raids are comparatively low here consider- ing the railway operation." wit- ness said. “I might point out that seven of the examples of the ten 1 have quoted are for car ferries, and the other three are for rail- way vessels." In reply to a question. he said the arrangements on the car fer- ries he had referred lo would be "exactly comparable" to those on the Borden ferry. Mr. Dysart: "Is the method of handling the vehicles on and off comparable?" Mr. Knowles: “In the seven cases I have mentioned they are all the same. except that they have no facility for travelling on the upper deck at a lower rate: thev must be loaded on flat cars." Mr. Dysart: "The conditions which pertain in relation to the method of handling cars and trucks on and off the seven fer- ries you mentioned are compar- able to the conditions existing on the P.

On 12.000 pounds of potatoes from Albany. Mr. Wright's nearest station, to Yar- moufh the railway charge would be 56 cents per 100 lbs. or $63.60. The return trip from Middleton. where he picked up the apples. to Albany, would be at a rate or 54 .. or $84.80.. This totalled $1128.40. The average trucking charge. on the other hand, was around 4 cts. per- ton mug, A]. cents mile. the distance bv highway from Albany to Yarmmith. plus return. would be 804 miles. Witness fig- ured the cost would be 8161.20 plus the 850.00 costs on the car ferry. “Compared with what the railway would carrv it at in both direc- tibpl. it would still cost him $23 more to have his truck there and baolr than what the railway would charge to haul its contents." Cross examined by Mr. Maths. son. witness conceded that with reference to one car ferry listed in his comparison of rate schedules. trucks were only handled when other means of transportation were not available. Mir. Mat-heson: "It is only in ar. emergency that anybody would undertake to pay those charges?‘ Mr. Knowles: "That is quite correct." Si.

N. 8.. are You acquainted with the method Mr. Dysart: "Do you agree with the contention that the 86.00 rste| on trucks on their own wheels on the car ferry is unreasonable relation to the rate of $2.00 for passenger vehicles on their own wheels?" Mr. Knowles: "When ryou know the history of this matter I don't think that the $6.00 rate on trucks is unreasonable at all. The rate on wisengei cars and trucks was originally the same - $6.00. Some time after that rate was in- augurated. at the request of the P E. I. Travel Bureau. the rat! waa reduced to $4.00 in order that it might encourage the tourist trade here. Then it was reduced to $3.00 and later to $2.00; a spec- ial rate that was made to help develop the tourist business. To apply that rate to trucks ls an~ entirely different matter." Mr. Dysart: “Do you hold the view that the present rate on pas- senger cars is a depressed rate?" Mr. Knowles: “I certainly do." In reply to the Commission chairman, witness said it would be “almost impossible" 1o say what the space per cubic foot cost for trucks and autos on the ferry at anv particular time. Witness submitted other statis- tical information regarding truck and auto traffic on the ferry. It showed a ‘striking increase" in tons of revenue freight handled since 1938. Since 1942 particular- ly. the number of vehicles hand- led had steadily increased. There was a considerable increase in trucks both empty and loaded. Afraid 0f Further Increase "I am afraid of this tendency." witness added. "I am afraid fur- ther increase in truck movement will interfere with the operation of the ferry in the outbound movement. of potatoes and the in- bound movcment of coal and other necessities for the Island." In addition. he believed that any reduction in truck rates resulting in increased truck trafllcwould i "destroy our l.c.l. freight service." Ho filed a statement listing com- modlfies handlcd in freight cars. The Chairman: "Why should vou move a car containing a truck in preference to a car containing merchandise?" Mr. Knowles: "Well.

The Chairman: “Your suggestion is that the motor car is not driv- en on to the ferry at Saint John or Digby by the owner?" Mr. Mathwon: "That is right The Chairman: "That the oar is placed bv the owner at s cer- tain point on the wharf and is taken from there aboard the ferry bv the transportation people. and it is also taken off the ferry at Digbv bv the transportation peo- ple and placed on the wharf or on land at the Digbv side?"

Neither could Mr. Matheson see there was any ground. for the Railways fear that lowering the rates on trucks would only serve to help its competitors and that the Railway would be left to carry the unprofitable freight.

Dysart 1 said. he could not see “where much could be done by the Board lnths present case. The Canadian Nat- ional Railways were merely en- trusted by the Dominion Govern- ment to conduct the ferry service between Borden and Tormentine. Without instructions to the con- trary. thev were morally bound to con-duct it as frugallv as possible. ‘There ls no lustiflcation for any departure from that frugal admin- istration and there has been evi- dence given here," Mr. Dysart said. "that thc present rates are comparable with rates on land per mile. I submit this proves the reasonableness of the rates." w. Dysart maintained that the railway was justified in charging according to the load conveyed in the truck. It was not the some condition as existed when goods were drip- ped in s freight car. The owners of the truck on the ferry receive a ticket which denotes they are using the railway as a hauler of their goods across the Strait. and the rates for that hauling were fair and reasonable.
