Cl-lARLOT"l'ETOWN 1-Zens (continued from Page 1) Full. L.H. Poole and .A A; Scales. The evidence offered beiore.the Board stressed the disadvantage at which shippers of potatoes and turnips particularly were placed if they had to buy or ship from the outer zone. Nearly 30 exhibits were offered and they ranged from maps showing the zone div- isions to charts indicating the ex- tent of the planting of seed pota- toes in each of the freight zones. Mr. B. Graham Rogers. the first witness yesterday morning. brief- ly described the shape and size of the Province and called it very small. He said there were approx- imately 5,034 miles of highway and 286 miles of railway. He was ask- ed what term Islanders generally applied to people living elsewhere, especially in Nova Scotia. and New Brunswick. He replied 'Maritlm- ers'. but Chief Commissioner Archibald interjected the remark. "They used to call them foreign- ers when I lived here." The application is being pre- sented through the Transporta- tion Commission of the Maritime Board of Trade with Mr. Rand Matheson in charge. Exhibits Tlbled Mr. Rogers testified that the two-zone system meant that there were rates for all purposes in the different zones on everything shipped beyond the Maritime Provinces. The first exhibit intro- duced was is map showing the zon- ing of the Province while the sec- ond was I. map indicating the rel- ative position of the Island com- pared to the rest of Canada. The witness called it the only surplus producing food area. in the east apd said the Province depends on that surplus for its livelihood. In answer to a question whether the compactness of the Island was recognized elsewhere Mr. Rogers replied in the affirmative and stated the Dominion of Canada had so recognized it and had first set up the system of distributing family allowance cheques here. The counsel for the C.N.R. objected to the line of questioning but was overruled and Mr. Campbell re- marked that the C.N.R. itself had used the Island as D. "guinea. pig" on more than one occasion. Mr. Rogers said the railway had set up a separate division here under- one superintendent. the only Prov- ince in Canada to have just one. Mr. Rogers also presented an exhibit showing the seed potato acreage entered for iiiopoctioii for the years 1048. 1949 and 1950. The chart showed that of the 33.754 acres in 1948 13.434 were in the inner zone and 25,320 in the outer one. In the three year period un- der review there was a progressive cutting down on the acreage in the outer freight zone and last year of a total 34.991 acres entered 13,496 were in the inner zone and 21.495 in the outer. The fourth exhibit was a ton- nage report of cars ferried on the Borden Cape Tot-mentirie C.N. R. route for the year 1950. It showed a total of 12,552 cars with 7,535 of them originating at points in the inner zone and the balance of 5.017 originating at: points in the outer zone. On carloads ferried to this Province 13.138 of the total was destined tn points in the inner zone and 2,517 for outer zone cen- tres. . Ii: was pointed out by witnesses that in all probability much of the traffic coming to the inner zone eventually found itself in outer some points. Large firms located in the inner zone received the goods for later sale. One of the items particularly mentioned to illustrate the point was fertilizer. which is processed in this city and reshipped to all parts of the Is- land. Other exhibits brought questions from the Board. particularly Com- missioner Chase. who inquired as to the apparent discrepancy in the higher number of car ferry trips made in 1946 compared with last. year and the greater number of railway cars carried last year. Mr. Rogers explained that in the early part of 1050 there was I particu- larly heavy movement of potatoes and a large number of cmlliiy Cars had to be brought in to handle the movement. Water Shipments Mr. Rogers also presented rt chart showing the number of tons of potatoes shipped by water from here and also by rail and water through the ports of Hall- fax and Saint John. He stated in answer to It. question by Com- missioner Chase that the water rates varied as the shipper could make his own contract with the carrier. Under Mr. Dyaarl. Mr. Rogers was not surprised to hear that Island potato shippers when shipping to Western Canada were on a one-zone hnsis. Mr. Dysnrt did not feel the zone system made any appreciable difference to the producer or shipper. "You do not think that a potato shin- por in the outer zone is going to sit down and brood over the fact there are .two zones. do you?" He asked Mr. Rogers. The latter replied "Oh no; not here in Prince Edward Island. We no longer brood. we got over that long ago." Mr. Dysnrt suggested that in- stead of zone systems. rates were really set on shipments to Nova Scott: on "mileage blocks": that is. the rates change slightly with each extra 1) miles of distance to he travelled. Mr. Rogers in- sisted that if he shipped it car from the inner zone the rate was slower than if he shipped it from an outer zone with certain exceptions. "In other words." said Mr. Dysart. "you are not complaining about the two-zone system. just the effect of it as seen in higher rates from such places as Elmira and Tighten?" But Mr. Rogers objected that some outer zone points were handler the Borden port of exit than some of the inner zone points enjoying the lower rate. ' . p Mr. Dysart then suggested: cross-examlnnllon by said he "You are asking that. commodi- ties should be moved from distant By Division ,Mr. J.J. Freedman. Saint John, New Brunswick. Lieutenant Gov- ernor of the Prince Edward Is- land and New Brunuwick Kiwanis Division, made his official visit to the Charlottetown Kiwanis Club last night and addressed member and guests at I dinner meeting held at the Keppoch Beach Hotel. The meeting and dance which followed was the annual ”Ladies' Night" event held by the Kiwanis. Mr. J.J. Trainor, Club president. presided over the meeting. Mr. Freedman presented im- extremities It the same rate as from Charlottetown and the rail- way ignore the extra 97 miles?" This was followed by I short ex- change between Mr. Dylart, Mr. Campbell, Mr. Rogers and Com- missioner Archibald wlth Mr Rogers ending it by stating: "We are asking to be made one zone. We are quite I revenue produc- ing source for the C.N.R." Potato Inspection There was some discussion as to the reason for farmers enter- ing their crop for seed potato in- spection. The Commissioners were informed it was because as an Island it was possible to keep it practically disease free and thus produce a better product. The witness expressed the belief that the drop in planting in outer zone areas was due to the freight rate situation. In answer to some technical questions Mr. Rogers said that there would be experts on Pile info matters to be heard and they could answer better. But he added that the markets now ducers in the where they enjoyed A Mile. lime" entiai, but that Island potato!!! outsold theirs market where freight rates were equal. In either case the zone man had an advantsli. Ind. as had been pointed out by MT- Rogers came out of the producer. said he had been shipping years. water. mainly -about 100 carloads to enjoyed had more potato eon- suming people. Mr. Dysart asked "You mean there are more Irish- men coming in?" Said Mr. Ruiz- crs, "Well that won't hurt the country." The Chief Commissioner in re- fcrence to the lfreater shlI3P”lK done from the inner zone asked ,if there were many potato!!! brought into Charlottetown and Summerside for shipping from here. It was agreed that this was done when the weather and road conditions permitted. Mr. Clive Fitch. assistant coun- sel to the Transportation Com- mission of the Maritime Board nf Trade. took the stand and also submitted several exhibits dealing mainly with tariffs anti freight rates within the Mofllime Provinces and to and from Moni- real and Toronto. He described the makeup of the freight rate structure here and said the inner zone had been till in l"hll'3 ” known as the Halifax rate group. while the outer zone in in ""3 Muliirave rate group Wlih slight- ly higher rates.

June 5-(CP)- The Daily Gleaner today publish- ed its first edition from its new plant across Central Queen Street and fl. few blocks north of the old lant. Editorial and composing rooms have been functioning in the new building for the past two weeks but the change-over was completed to- day when tho gleaner was printed on its new presses. To mark the occasion. J. Alex Crockel. president of The Cleaner. limited. presented the following statement on the front page: "Today is a. memorable day the life of the Gleaner. "This newspaper was established by my father. the late Jss. H. Crocket. in 1880. He devoted his life to it and since his death in 1060 my brother and I have en- deavored to carry on the tradit- ions he established. ”We have done our utmost to give the people of New Brunswick is daily newspaper which carries the news without bias and which published the essential informat- ion of trade and commerce. Prom our new office we shall continue to maintain this policy. "The need for a new plant and equipment coincided with I period of steeply rising costs. Newsprint is three times the price it was 15 years ago.. Other costs have risen proportionately. "We. of the Gleaner. were glad to seize the opportunity of combining with University Press of New Brunswick. By so doing the gleaner is able to share the resources of University Press. These include the most modern mechanical plant and photo-engraving equipment of a. standard equal to any metropol- itan newspaper. "Today the Gleaner is printed for the first time on its new gas; presses. ”It.s new quarters are not yet completed. when they are we shall invite our readers to visit our plant at an official opening cere- mony." in v Loyal orange Lodges Interested in sponsoring the Twelfth of July Celebration ' please communicate at once by phone with JOHN A.
