R. Bell as he resumed the de- bate on the Draft Address in the Legislature yesterday. Mr. Bell raid. "As far as I am concerned and as far as my Party is con- cerned. we are all for a complete investigation of the causeway pro- ject." The Opposition leader wondered why the project was being brought up at the present time. "I hope that no politician is bringing it up for political support...if he is pity help him,” he said. LAUGHTED AT Mr. Tell recalled that in 1944, he had brought up the subject of s causeway but didn't get much of a reception from the Govern- ment side of the house. "As a matter of fact the Minister of Highways at that time laughed at me. I wonder what his attitude is now," he asked. Referring to a statement made by the late Premier Jones when he said, "It is not up to me to ridicule this matter, time alone will tell what the future will hold," llir. Bell said I felt very much the same way at that time and I feel the same way about it now." He recalled that in 1944 be pre- sented to the House the estimates of a causeway a bridge and a tunnel. These estimates which had been prepared by Railway engi- neers indicated the following costs: Causeway, 350,000,000 bridge 3'77- Il00.000. tunnel under 'the bottom; tl00.000.000. tunnel on the bottom. p I - ..

"I was somewhat aghast to hear on the radio last night that the Prime A Minister of Canada had laid down it ultimatum that the proposal al- , ready made was a final and basic one that even if another confer- ence is held. the Federal Govern- ment do not intend to diverge - (rom that proposal to any extent." "As I understand it, the propo- ral already made. would give less to Prince Edward Island than she has been receiving annually. This to my mind. is unthinkable." he continued. ”The 1951-56 agreement was little enough.
