BETTER WINTER SERVICE.
It is the general desire of all that our Ing “r°n“°m°m' nude In advance wil
winter communications with the main- me N°B"“‘d P' E' hind Bmw” mr
and by steamer. mail and telegraph shall
be improved. To that end The Guardian
has all along contended that there should
be close connection maintained between
the Government railways on both sides of
the straits and the Government steauiers.
In that regard we have been better served
this winter than in some past years. But
there was a long break of twelve days
recently during which the steamers dld
not cross and for a much longer time we
have been dependent upon the ice~boat
service at the Capes for the carriage of
the malls. We cannot do without the
Capes route. Winter after winter the

steamer communication is made regular
and certain, ora railway ferry, or a tunnel

ditlons.

hold themselves in readiness, and t
arrangement seems absolutely neeessa
When the mails go by the Capes tbeywly r°“"l"ly`
must of necessity pass over the N, B, and
P. E. Island Railway, and then there is,
the same necessity for prompt gqpngop:
ion with boats by that railway as there _
 on this aide. We are glad W warg,
that arrangements have been about com~
pleted for the special trains required for _
the prompt carriage cf the malls between
Sackville and Tormentlne. So far good.
But there is something still to be desired
totzive assurance for tile future. and to
prevent the loss of time which has been
too frequent in the past when transfer-
ring the mails from the steamer route to
the Capes route and vice versa. What
is needed is to first get the best method
of handling our winter mails and then
have the arrangement so fixed on a pel-
manent basis that it will work without
friction from year to year.
Experience has demonstrated that we

the ice-boat crews ought to be paid for
six weeks or two months every winter, to
i transport the mails when required. Their
work is arduous, sometimes dangerous
and their responsibilities are not small.
The uncertainty as to when they may be
needed prevents them from obtaining
other employment in February and
March. Why should they not be paid,
