Tizc Board suggestion of more ircfiuent joint meetings of officials of the government departments of the three provinces to discuss collfmon Maritime problems had ill-on “favorably received" last ylnlr, the report said. It saw as a result "probably much closer co- operation" between the Maritime governments than formerly.

(The matter of allow- ing American potatoes in free was brought to the attention of the Tariff Board by your secretary, and on investigation revealed the fact that there was one shipment only, as flu- as could be traced, amounting to 9 bushels-the error being they were ' accepted as seed potatoes.

The financial statement was mad, showing a small bank bal- ance.

MANAGER'S REPORT

Extensive transportation adjust- ments which benefited shippers throughout the Maritimes had been negotiated by the Maritime Trans- portation Commission during the past year, General Manager Rand. H. Matheson reported to the Board of Trade.

The commission, he reported, had more than doubled its activities in its second year of existence and the increase indicated shippers were appreciating more and more “ser- vices of commercial traffic organ- ization designed to assist and ad- vise in connection with transporta- tion problems". ‘

Most important of the direct ad- justmcnts in transportation mot- ters were: Reductions in railway rntcs on livestock between maritime points; Extension of zone express rates; extension an dreduc- tion of coal rates; and re-align- merits in westbound freight rates.

The commission, Mr. Matheson reported was also seeking reduction in rates on farm produce and on apples and application had been made, besides, for reduction in rates on meats for fox feeding, in oyster rates t0 Quebec, Ontario and Western Canada, and in rates on potatoes in correspond with re- ductions effected in Ontario.

The managers report notfid mot- or truck transportation in the Mar- itimm had‘ reached the "stage in which measures should be. taken to regulate effectively but not ne- cessarily restrlctively its future de- velopment as a. distributing factor in the Maritime Provinces." The commission, he said, was investi- gating the situation and contem- plated issuing a report on it within a short time.

Maritime shippers, Mr. Matheson stated, were willing to support a proposed railway "free pick-up and delivery service." Although the ser- vice wns ill operation to meet mot- or truok competition in all Canad- ilm provinces except the Maritimes. the railways had not yet decided whether its inauguration in the east was advisable, he said .

Mr. Metheson continued many maritime shippers using rail trans- portation at Present had Bdvllfld that competition and convenience would fol-ca a. greater amount- 0! their traffic to triwk-l. "ma" the railways could meet the situation with correspondins SEFVlCB-i-

Investigation by the commission during the past year had revealed perceptible increase in less-than- carload traffic diverted from rail to trucks bccnusc of "inconvenience, expedition and economy," he added.

Th‘; pick-up and delivery service was restricted within specified mile- qq limits and applicable on less- ihm-carload shipments, Mr. Mathe- son explained. 1t had been studied by railway systems in the Maritime provinces as a result 01 P Malmme Board of ‘Trade resolution last Y9" urging its inauguration.

commission had communicated with shippers regarding tm market pos- sibilities of the prairie provinces and practical rates before negotiations had been carried out.

The new rates which will be in force until next July will facilitate extension of potato markets and at the some time assist Western Can- adians according to the report.

In co-operation with agricultural departments, the Maritime trans- portation commission had recently applied for reductions in rates on apples to correspond with adjust- ments effected in other parts of the dominion.

Mr. Mathcsons report announced that placement of Nova. Scotilt fruit cars at Montreal terminals without delay previously experienced would be possible next year. Fruit train schedules were to be changed in order that rapid placement could be made. The change had been sought by Nova Scotia department of Agriculture.

References of special interest to Prince Edward Island in Mr. Mathe- son's report were as follows:

Turnipratcs to specified United States points: Tile special rates on turnips, from specified Maritime points to Boston, Mass, and New York. N. Y., which the Commission in co-operation with interested shippers was instrumental in ef- fecting last fall, terminated on June 30, i936. Since that time, the Com- mission has been working to have the basis rc-established for an other year. Recently, the Commission was advised by Montreal that a sci-call- ed fourth section relief application was to be presented this month and that the railways hoped to have an Interstate Commerce Order allow- ing the rates to be published on or about October 1st.

Potato Rate Adjustments w Prairie Provinces: Reports emanat- ing from Western Provinces early in the Summer indicated a probable scarcity of potatoes in that section. In view of these reports the Com- mission communicated with potato shippers for their opinions as to market possibilities in the Prairie Provinces, providing that freight rates corresponding to the seasonal rates first effected in 1929 were es- tablished. In reply, the Commission was requested to negotiate for__cor- responding rates although, at the time, it was too early to make any

ProfessorMercer Lalu ils Pris on Farm System Here

HALIFAX. Sept. 23. — (CPi - Praising Prince Edward Island's new legislation providing for prison farms, Professor C. H. Mercer. president of the Halifax Prisoners’ Welfare Bureau, tonight blamed county councils for blocking prison reform in Nova Scotia.

“The county councils in Nova. Sco- tia. are one of the biggest curscs cvcr inflicted on this province," the Dalllousie University professor stat- ed in reporting on his recent in- spection tour of Prince Edward Is- land jails.

“There are no county councils in Prince Edward Island and that is why jails of that province are so much more respectable than the prisons of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.

"In addition to the county jail, which is itself much superior to our county institutions such as those in Halifax and Sydney, being roomy and well ventilated, the County of Queens now has the use of a prison farm, which was inaugurated this your. following legislation passed during the last session of the Is- land Government. '

"The reason for this advanced lssislation "1 Bil??? Edvard Is- land is that there are no county councils to hinder the provincial govemment in introducing such needcdmeasures of social welfare and reform."
