"If We were to ship to Labrador direct we would have to charter a boot and experience has proven that we wouldn't. be able to get enough supplies for a full load. I think that at the moment our role should be one of watchful waiting." The Minister stated that he did not intend to discuss the Fisher- ies Division too fully as he had had occasion to refer to the prob- lem many times recently. However he stated that the Fish- ermen‘5 Loan Board had financed the building of 11 di-aggers at a total cost of $406,643. "Of this amount the Federal Government coiitributed $76,685 and the fish- ermen who used the boats had paid $12,200. .._‘ “The total repayment by way of 125’-"5. of the cost. was $36,940 while the sale of one dragger brought 329.043. The amount out- standing on the dragger loan ac- count is $248000 and the amount outstanding on the small loan ac- count is 551.385. “I agree with ihe member from Third Klnfl (Mr. John A.

"He has worked very hard during the past several years to help our Inland nhippers and I believe he in doing a fine job. "Last year his office handled 515 telegrams. 535 letters received and 698 letters sent out. A great number of these letters required much renonrch and work before they were neat to inquli-era or pro- spective buyern. "In the late fall‘ of 1953 the Director was successful in obtain- lng an order from Mexico for one of our new milk plants. This or- der mannt more to the Province in the way of money than the Director’; salary totalled for sev- eral years. "He has written to the Canadi- an Trade Comrnisioners in every country of the world. He has had correspondence with firms in for- eign countries regardinll "19 95- tablishmeiit of branch plants ll: this Province and he also corre- aponded with firms in Canada about similar projects." The Minister announced that the‘ P. E. 1. Industrial Corporation had ended the fiscal year 1953-54 in the black for the first time. "The directors are very pleased that the guarantee to the Blue peler steamshlps will only cost us about $6,600 while we will have a profit of over $10,000 from the cold atorluni at its annual meeting had‘ announced that it would need 530.- 000 in order to carry on this year and in order to keep the budget. near its balancing power this amount was not put in the esti- mates. He felt he stated that everyone would agl'i‘E that the Saiiatorium would have to get this money. The Minister reveiwed the ex- pansion of the efforts that had been made to combat tuberculosis this Province since the year 1907 and he recalled that under the Proriliclul Sanatoriuiii Act passed in 1929 that the Siinai.ot'lum L‘0uI(I not receive more than 812,- J00 in year from the P_rovii-icn.

"I have been told that the issue ul' bonds to the amount of $50.- 000 which took place some ycai-s ago was tit least. partly used to pay off this deficit.

"The interest paid on such bonds is $2.250 per ye.ir Wllluh has been added to the cost of opci-a~‘ tlon of the Institution.

(‘mt of Maintenance He compared the cost of main- taining each patient per day In the Provincial Sanatorium with the average cost. in Canada dur- ing the past five yearn and the figures that the P.E.I. was well below the Canadian average each year. Mr. MacDonald pointed out that there were only two or three eni- pty beds for tuberculosis pntlentn and that it han not yet been pon- slblp to close down any one nec- tlon of the Institution which would decrease the pendlturo to name extent.

Blue Peter Contract Mr. William Acorn, Liberal First Queens. asked what could be done about having Ihe Blue Peter call at other Island ports. Mr. Cullen replied that the coli- tract called for the ship to call at one other point in the Province. The Minister stated that the Farm Improvement‘ Service had continued to expand during the past year. "We exceeded our estim- ale by a considerable amount last. year. We had 537,000 in the antim- ate and we spent $51,000. The cost of service was about twice what we collected. The service Just won‘t pay its way. "However. I think the service was justified. We did considerable work for schools and churches. At a number of farms where we worked we removed eye-cores from the property. 90% of the work was done on behalf of farmers but we also did work for fishermen. tourist resort operators and for come vil- lages and towns.” Mr. Cullen paid fine tribufa to the work of the Director of Trans- portation (Mr. B. Graham Rogcrn). "He arranged for the early trip of the car ferry last year and thin ser- vice wlll be carried on again this summer. "When We have better transportation our director will be the man who will get it." stated the Minister. He pointed out that Mr. Rogers had worked very closely with the polalo shippers and had acted as llaslon officer between the Potato Marketing Board and the railways regarding refrigeration cars. The Minister stated that re- frigerated cara proved to be quite a problem and he recalled that two years ago there were 000 carsin the Province in one time but. it hap- pened during a lull in the potato shipments with the result that malty of the cars returned to the mliililarld empty. "As .\ result there were too many polators left.
