Edwin Johnstone. Mung Mayor at the adjourned monthly meeting of the City Council. While no fomsal resolution was adopted. the members of the Coun- cil voiced strong objection in- dividually to thin, proposal, and agreed to meet as-a body to pre- sent the matter before the Prov- incial Government; with s view to obtaining support in emphasizing the importance of the project from an lnterpoovinoial transportation standpoint. It. was revealed that the airport operated on a deficit of over 330,000 last year and it was pointed out by Coun. Johnstcne, on the auth- nrlty of Capt. Carl Burke. presi- dent. of Maritime Central Airways. that most of the equipment had been bclnrht from the War As- sets Corporation at a very low fig- ure and was worn out and would have to be replaced shortly at a much greater cost. In his statement on the subject Doun. Johnstone recalled that early in April, 1952. certain re- presentations were made from the Board of Trade and other inter- ested parties, to have the present runways at the airport extended, or to build another runway cap- able of handling a larger type oi aircraft. This was done not only with a view to future types of air- craft that might. use the airport. but also due to the fact that the Present airport. through MC.A., was using the facilities as an im- Maintenance if unit for R.C.A.F'. planu. and this unit's capabilities for expansion were limited due to the insuffici- ent length of the present runways. A resolution asking the Depart- ment of Transport to make the necessary survey for the projected runway or runways was forwarded to Hon. Lionel Chevrier. Minister for the Department oi Transport. On April 23rd Mr. Chevrler re- plied to the communication. stat- ing that he had directed officials in Montreal to discus the matter with the City Council in order to reach some common ground on the development of the airport as far as could be done at that time. Mr. Chevrler's Visit On May lbth Mr. Chevrler was again written to by Mayor Stewart, asking for some action This re- sulted in a meeting a little later on. at which time Mr. Chevrier personally visited our City, and the Council members met and dis- cussed with him here the possibil- ities of the present extension. Following Mr. Chevrler's visit. a survey was made by the Depart- ment of Transport engineers. On Oct. 29th Mayor Stewart again wrote the Minister asking if any- thing further had developed rela- tive to the expansion of the run- way facilities at the Charlotte- town airport. The reply to this cor- respondence ststed that such ll. pro- gram by the Department of Trans- port might be undertalfen. but only with the understanding that the municipality concerned would take over the responsibility of the operation and maintenance of the air field.

At- torney General and Provincial Treasurer. when he took part in the Draft Addreu debate. He added that they would form a motorcycle patrol. Besides this change there will be three distinct- ivcly painted automobiles, manned by R. C. M. P. personnel, also to be used ill continuous highway patrol work. Mr. Darby expressed lhc thought that if the latter highway crew succeeded in doing nothing else they would at least have a tendency to slow down speeders. A change proposed in the Tem- perlmcc Act could also have the possible effect of releasing other R. C .M. P. officers for highway work. The proposal involves turn- lng over to cities and towns of fines collected under the Act when local police are engaged in llle investigation and prosecution. Mr. Darby believed the populated centres would thus have more in- terest in this phase of law en- forcement and possibility it would mean between two and four men ill the R. C M.
