Gentlemen: This Brief relates to the fisheries of Prince Edward Island. taken from those compiled by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics. for the year 1929, the latest official statistics available. The total value of the fisheries or Prince Edward Island was $1,397,- 135.00. The principal exportable items may be classified as follows: Value 68,850.00 109,634.00 886,940.00 ..$ , . . . . . . . . . lbs. each 3,001.00 26,962.00 32.00200 69,888.00 ee..---e.,....-..--..-.. e-~.--.....-..-----~.e-~ Prince Edward Island places it in an unique position to take advan- tage of these prolific fisheries. That it has not done so before is dueto several causes: The lack oi technical knowledge in curing and preparing the pro- duct for market and lack oi cheap and efficient transportation facil- ities haslbeen the chief factors in retarding the development of this . important industry. It is gratifying to know that the former disabilities are receiving the attention of the Fishery Department. scientific instructors are now em- ployed to educate the fishing popu- lation and fish curers, in improving the pioducts_a.nd substantial pro- green is being made. The Chlgneeto Canal would open up an entirely new avenue of oom- merce. It would bring the Southern markets 280 miles nearer to us than they are at present. It would 'ei- Iord cheap water borne freight and with more satisfactory trade relations with the United Stator. which we hope will evcntualize in the near future, could not fail to give a distinct ' petus to the de- velopment of our natural pro- ducts. Supplementary Express charges on fish from Charlottetown to the followilll points in the United States: New York City, $8.60 Der hundred gross wellht. . noelon‘, Mass, sass per hundred gross weight. _ In the case of live lobsicrs where large quantities of ice is used in packing the rates would be at least 4% cents per pound. The Chignecto Canal would great-a ly assist the live lobster industry. Auxiliary schooners oi 50 to 00 tons could be successfully used for "Ill PUIIJOOG. shipments of fish from Pr!!!"

In reply to further qucs- i tions by the chairman, Mr. Tid-| marsh explained the method oi shipping and keeping fresh lobsters in pound. Commissioner Robb asked how long an auxiliary. schooner would take to make the trip to Boston through the proposed canal. The question was referred to Capt. T. G. Taylor, Charlottetown, who was present. Capt. Taylor replied "about two days.” PRODUCE SHIPPING The following brief was than sub- mitted by Mr. Nelson Rattenbury: Charlottetown, P. E. L October 31st, 1931 The Royal Chignecto Canal Commission :- 1 Gentlemen :— Wc beg to submit the following: In Schedule A, Point 3, your Royal r‘ mmission inquiring into the economical details of the pro- posed Chignecto Canal, ask: How would the construction of the propcsad canal afiectthe trade ‘of Prince Edward Island? _ What would be the probable sav- too costly. This is evident ii we compare rail and water rates. The rail rate on potatoes from our Province to Montreal is l8 cents per bushel, sixty pounds. “Do Boston, inside-(wl/lc. per bus. To Boston, outside—32%c. per bus. To New York, inside-Mic. per bus. To New York, outside-file. per bus. The highest ocean rate on wheat per bushel also sixty pounds, from New York to Liverpool, in the years 1911-1914 was ‘Mo. per bushel, and the lowest rate, 4c per bushel. The rates from Montreal to Liverpool were practically the same. Our rull rate to Boston is 23c. to 25c. par bushcl in excess oi the ocean rate, at that time, from Montreal or New York to Liverpool. It may be that, from a Railway standpoint. the rates charged on our products are not. unreasonable. That does not altcr the fact that we cannot afford to pay these rates and that it is essential we secur waicr trans- REXALL November 4th, 5th, 6th. and 7th.

For a quarter of a century the Maine crop of potatoes, - this year estimated at fifty million bushels, - has been moved by rail. It is now announced that ten million bush- els oi that crop is to be transported from seaports in Maine by steam-' ers of the Munson Line, for New York, Philadelphia, and Baltimore delivery, to supply the great At- lantic and Pacific Tea Company's chain oi stores. In reference to the inquiry as t0 the saving of freight to our Pro- vince if the canal was opened. An answer cannot be given unless we can make some calculation as to the increased production when consum- ing markets are reached by these bulky commodities -at reasonable freight charges. The car-ferry has given us a. better service than we ' had in 1910-1914, and for that rea- ing of freight? The chief industries of this Prov- ince are the primary industries. lAgriculture and the Fisheries. l Eighty-four per cent. of our produc- tion is agriculture. Our largest field ‘crops are potatoes and turnips. Our ‘friable soil. and our cool and equ- able climate, am favorable for the our earlier settlers. In 1771. the iGovernor of the Colony, in his re- port to the Colonial office in Lon- don. gave two instances: ‘ "One farmer, near Charlotte- town, irom planting oi six bush- els< oi potatoes, had raised from them two hundred bushels. and another from a planting of three bushels, had raised one hundred and fifty bushels." The Governor continues :-, "I never met with. or heard oi, such increase oi potatoes; and as to garden stuffs, there is no coun- try that produces better.” In short, My Iord, the Island will be, in e short time, the ‘GAR.- DEN 0F AMERICA." 1n Lbs flve year period 1910-1914. previous to our car-fen-y service. our avenge yearly priidlllltibn oi potatoes was six million bushels, and the average price 29c per bush- el, and total value $1,691,000. The average yearly crop in Nova Scotia, 1910-1914, was six and one quarter million bushels. The average price 40c. per bushel, total value. $3.000.- 000. We note from these figures, the results of inadequate transporti- tion. In the five years, 1910-1914. our crop of potatoes, because oi our transportation difficulties was re- duced in value each year one mil- lion dollars and upwards, consider- ing the value oi the Nova scotia crop. This does not cover the shrinkage in value of our other sur- plus exports. The annual report of our Depart- ment oi Agriculture ier 1930 gives our potato ercp as nine and a quarter million bushels, and a total value of $9,817,000.00, an increase of twohiiliion dollars over the yearly 08W of the 1910-1014 period.‘ The New Brunswick crop, 1930, was also nine "and a quarter million bushels. and ills total value 03.617.000.00 same as the Island crop.

To market this crop during the 200 days yearly that these products are merchant- able, 75,000 bushels daily, winter and summer, should move through the canal. Engineers could advise, ii a short section of the southern entrance to thecanal could be open for winter navigation, and could also advise the cost of a spur line oi railway to link that section of the canal up with the Canadian National Railway system. A winter! port there, the rail distance being} so short, would be almost 0i equal advantage as a winter port in our own Province. We attach a printed memorandum of freight movements over the Isl- and divlsion of the Canadian Na- tional Railways for eleven months 0i’ 1930. Our shipments of potatoes by rail were 4,813 cars, equal to 3.809350 bushels, and 556 cars of turnips. equal to 411,000 bushels.

The anchoragc is good all over the harbour. “The harbour, near the three tides is over one mile wide and car- ries its depth for four miles from the harboux-‘s mouth. The usual depth of water ior anchorage is 30, 40, and nearly 60 feet.’ The construction of the Chigncc- to canal has significance for the shipping interests in one of the world's greatest trading ports. It is known that, while the Cabot Straits are blocked with icc in the spring, impending navigation to and from Montreal: the’ river, and Northum- berland Straits are usually free of ice, and canal traffic unobstructed, thus increasing in the spring sev- eral days, and sometimes weeks, open navigation to and from Montreal and the ocean. Replying to questions, Mr. Rotten- bury said the canal would enable potatoes and other products to be shipped by water to Montreal in- stead of by rail, which would be a considerable advantage. Mr. Tweedy read a letter from Mr. S. R. Burke, Albcrton, addrcssci to Mr. Rattenbury. Mr. Burke, irno was unable to be present ns a witness. indorsed the canal proposition from the standpoint oi the shipping rude and cited his own experience as a shipper, He stated that ox- press rates on fresh fish have seri- ously affected shipments from the west end oi the Island. Mt. L. R. Allen, Summcrsidc, rc- fcrred to the tank boats now used for live lobster shipments. He also toga]; 324,877.50 ‘The Boston, New York rate on the remaining half, 1804375 bushels. at an average rat: of 3654c. totals ......... 658,779.37 A grand total oi ......$1.l09.80l-87 A waterrsie of 12c.

Melpeque Bay, thus connect- ing the northern part oi Prince Ed- ward Island with the Northulnbcr- land Strait. This would enable local BIIIDPBFS to take full advantage oi‘ the scheme, and would permit them t6‘ extend their markets further south then heretofore.

The distance across i the Province nt tile points indicated by Mr. Allen is about two and one- half miles; it is low lying ground, with a small rivcl" on each side. The Chairman: "Of course, that is not a pal-t of the Chlgnccto Canal proposition." Mr. Allen: “I realize that, but I am advancing it as a suggested con- tinuation o!‘ your projccl." , Mr. Allen expressed regret that Mr. J. A. Campbell, who had some matters to present on behalf of the Sunlmcrside Board of Trade, was not present. The chairman said Mr. Canlpbclls brief could be forwarded later. l Oll behalf of the Albcrton and l. West Prince Board of Trade, of which he is a member, Mr. A. J. Matheson, A'L.cary, indorsed the 1Chlgncct0 Canal project as a benc- lflt to the western part. of the Pro- l vince. also supported the proposal. He re- porlunity of leaching mass markets. If the Ciiigllccto canal were built, lnclv and piofltablc lilies oi water trade of this Province. ‘of lundand in time the canal would ibe one of the biggest tourist assets we would have. He did not think the matter of cost should be raised as an objection to the propos- al. The great problem in Canada today is due in large meas- ure to the duplication of railways. iHltllert/o little attrnion has been given to improving waterways. Since Confederation, population in Can- ada has increased 140 per cent. In Nova Scotia and New Brunswick it has increased about 3'3 per cent, while in this Province we have had a falling oil in population, a. fact which Mr. Hyndman attributed largely to inadequate transportation methods.
