"The Dominion Government has consistently given the project fin- anclal support by making good 50 per cent of the operating losses and is ready to continue as long as it is operated as a housing project by the Province.

June 3- (Special)- Suggested repairs to the Prince Edward Island car ferry "Abeg- welt" have been s. subject for dis- cussion by the Federal Cabinet for the past three days, The Guardian was informed late this afternoon. Point of contention. it is said here, ls whether the Department of Transport should authorize planking of the deck originally designed for the transport of freight cars. Steel and wood plank- ing on this deck, it has been rep- resented to Transport Minister Chevrier, would permit commercial trucks to use this deck of the ferry. It is understood that the Canadian National Railways, operatorsof the vessel are opposed to the planking. If it is decided to leave the "Abegwait" in its present struc- tural condition, The Guardian is informed. the vessel will leave the A Still Being Discussed ‘Abegweif’ Canadian Vlckers wharf in Mont- real next week en route t9 Char- lottetown. 0n the other hand should the Government decide to install planking on the railway deck, the ship may remain in Montreal for the next six weeks in order that the necessary repairs can be ‘effected. There has been controversy on the subject behind the closed doors of the Cabinet council, certain ministers contending that the or- iglnnl cost of the ferry was such that no further expenditure on the vessel was merited.
