Rehearing In - Freight Zoning Case Adiourned OTTAWA. Nov. 1--(Special) - Interested parties in Charlotte- town were advised today by the Board of Transport commission- ers here that the rehearing offhe freight zoning case concerning Prince Edward Island has been postponed from the scheduled date of November 5 some time later this month or December. Reason for the post,onemcnt is that the new board chairman. J. D. Kearney. K.C.. assumes office today. succeeding ex-chairman Mr. Justice M. B. Archibald. Mem- bers of the board feel that neither they nor Mr. Kearney would be desirous of tackling a highly contentlous case until the chair- man has opportunity of familiar- izing himscif with the September 15 judgments and circumstances surrounding them. On theothcr hand. The Guard- ian was informed that the post- ponement will be for a comparat- ively short period. Through its counsel, the Canadian National Railways secured a deferment of the result of the board's major- ity judgment until November 15. The board is under pressure from the applicants not to make any lengthy extension of this defer- merit which is contrary to their Interests. It is hence understood that the rehearing will proceed at the earliest feasible time. Four Adiudicofor; For N. B. Festival SAINT JOHN, N.
