Immediately after the ure, your

Council held several meetings with our Federal Represenizatives, and a contract was let for a new buildingto take the place of the one destroyed by nrc, this building to be completed by the fifteenth of October, but ow- ing to the late arrival of malterlal. dire tc a hiirricane af. the no r.. oi' shipment, we are sorry to say that it wits not completed in time to be of any use during the fall season.

An alternative schedule was pro-

posed by thc Railway Management. whereby what is practically tho iii- ward summer schedule would be con- tinued during the winter months. as

far as Borden.

Mails and passengers, howevcncom- ing by the late boat, remain- in Bor- den ovcr night. and reach Charlotte- town at 10.30 ia. m.. the iollowlni; moming. The cost of operating the service asked for by our Bourrl was the reason given by lthc Railway for

thc altemative service suggested.

The Board of Railway Commission- ,

ara agreed that the R.allwny's sugges- ted alternative schedule be given a trial which service is now in opera- tion since January 7th. and while "this service permits mails and pas- ' §g|;gen,'by the late boalt to reach Charlottetown and other Island points. many hours earlier than they would under the old winter schedule. the service. nevertheless, possesses 'many obviouiradvantagcs and is not the service which we asked for. or to which we are entitled. and has never la bcen officially BPPTO'/ed W °‘}_*` B‘{°§d .

to and from Prince Edward Island.

On October 24th.. your Board

had a conference with Mr. Ap- pleton, Mr. Tompkins and Mr. Barker of the Canadian National Railway in reference to the plans of the New Car Ferry and the informa- tion gathered was to the effect that the new boat would be about the same size and carrying capacity, as ithie Car Ferry Prince Edward Island, and we were of the opinion that a larger boat was necesary to take care of our ever increasing traffic.

Later a committee was appointed

from this Board, and the Summerside Board _was asked to oo-operate with our Committee and the maltter was later taken up by the Associated Boards and also the Maritime Board and resolutions were passed demand- ing a larger boot and better docking facilities. _`

Annual Meeting of the Maritime i

Board of Trade.

The Annual Meeting of the Mari-

time Board was held at Halifax on November 21st. Mr. J. O. Hyndman and Mr. Paton, representing the Charlottetown Board of Trade. and Mr. R.. E. Mutch representing the Associated Board of Trade were pre- sent.

This was the largest and most suc-

cessful Conference ln the history of the Maritime Board. Many impor- tant matters of vital interest to the trade and future prosperity of the Atlantic Provinces were dealt with. Those having a direct bearing to our Province were the following: .

1. New Car-ferry and additional

docking facilities. - _

2. Finther extension by Canadian

National Railways of summer resort lodges. such as that established in Picton was advocated for the Mari- times and to include Prince Edward Island.

3. The fishing industry to be as-

sisted and stimulated by extension of railway facilities to isolated fishing centres.

4. Eieamshlpl facilities between Bt.

John and Cube. to develop n regular and steady outlet for potatoes from the Maritimes, _ .

5. Reduction ln freight rates. 6. Implementation of tho Duncan

Report in its entirety.

A very significant ststementin the

address of retiring President Tum- bull read as follows: “If our Provinc- es are to continue as ii dinnping -ground for. the surplus goods of the more densely populated portions of Canada to the detriment of our own producers. we can never prosper, and there is only one way ln- which the adverse conditions _.can be rectified and that is by .virtue of reduced freight rates and more flexible trans- portation conveniences." . The matter of greatest importance. rhnwevor. to this Province was the un- animous endorsement of the I‘sland‘s demands for adequate ferry service. ixxnnecting the-~la1ond~and Mainland railways as iipecided in the resolu- tion adopted by the Associated Boards of Trade. The Maritime Board have since actively followed the mat- ter up. and have 1.14-iceolictted the cooperation and induonce of tho Canadian Chamber of Commerce in preuing the case at Ottawa as a national economic necessity. We are very grateful for the splendid support thus given by our sister Provinces.

In addition to these Ilirures, 950 autos crossed by the Hflchelaga. in 1928 and 700 in 1927. showing an increase of 250 autos forfthe year.

The hotels also report that the

number or tourists accommodated durtng 1928 was considerably in ex- o2Ss of the number in 1927.

These figures prove that Din'

freight and tourist traffic is increa- clrur in every satisfactory manner and when the second car ferry is placed on the Borden to Tormentinc route, and other improvements in tiansporiation have been made, we Will-have much better facilities for _handling this increased traffic,

_ Aonrcuifruaa

The prices of all agricultural pro-

ducts, with the single exception ol' potatoes have experienced a satisfac- tory advance during the past year.

The price of pork, while averaging

a satisfactory figure throughout the year, showed a marked decline to- ward the end of the year. This was caused to a large extent by an ex- oesslve surplus during the heaviest p.oducing months. This condition could, be P8-rtly avoided by the far- mers marketing their pork more ev- enly throughout the year.

Lambs sold as high as 17 cents pcr

pound, which is a new record for this Province.

Good beef cattle have been sold

as msn as ten cents per poimd on the hoof, which is the highest price received for beef since the war years.

Chickens. turkeys, geese and ducks

were all disposed of at high prices. The price of eats was well main- taixiedthmiighcut the year, and pro- ductions showed an increase over the previous year. ‘ .

Hay was a good average crop and

turniim were above the average.

Grain and root crops were excep-

tionally good thisyear.

Cattle, especially dairy cattle

were _in great demand and ii large number was exported.

There was an increase in quantity

of butter and cheese produced and Prince lidwarddsland ellwyed the distinction of producing the high- est quality .butter in Canada this year and ber cheese came second in quality.;

EGG AND POULTRY I‘R()DUCTI0l\l

A brief outline of the egg and

iwultry business for _tho year me Sl10WB that both prices and produc- tion have been very satisfactory. l The E88 and Poultry Associatinii

handled 1,200,000 dozen eggs for o;<.i IWW. and other dealers exported 1,- rwe... ...»s.11s. Acid to this the 1,- 900 00_t. dozer: eggs’ wiisiimedut home "Htl It HIVCS us n total production of 4.000.000 dozen egg.; for the year 1028. These eggs were valued at 30 cents per dozen, showing a value of $_l.200.000. In addition to the above Iisures 50,000 dozens valued at 32 cents per dozen or $16,000 wcrc ex- ported, making rt total value of $1,- 216,000 for the eggs produced on Prince Edward Islanfl during 1923.

Duflllg the year 1928, we export-

.sd 9 cars of live poultry valued at $71500, live tl0CSe to thc value of $8.000, 650,000 dressed poultry at 30 Celll-S PSI' DOund Ur $21,500. In addi- tion to this it is estimated that the home consumption of poultry am. f»Ufll0d to 660.000 Pounds at 30 cents or $108,000.

Total value of poultry production

for the year was $422,300. Add to this the valueof eggs exported and ' f'"‘!v and we have thc g'1'9.nd total of $1,638,500 as the value of our egg and poultry biisliiess for the past year.

FOXES

Our lox breeders were vciy fortun- utc this year in securing satisfac- tory prices for their livc foxes and the demand has been very keen from EUl”0D1’an buyers, due principally to the high quality and good reputa- tion of our foxes. The value of the rvinrketf-ri skins and live foxes has been estimated by one of our chief expirtes to be between $4,000,000 and $5,000,000.

The Canadian National Express

Coinpriny reports that about 5,000 live _foxes have been shipped ubi-ond, as compared with 4,246 in 1927. 'Ihtre has not been E single known casualty in 'ali these shipments and rome of them were shipped to Japan.

Germany and Norway were the

best European customers this yarir, but-=‘~iriments have also been made in Sweden, Scotland, Czecho Slova- kia, Bavaria., Finland, France, Hol- land and Japan.

FISHERIES

The report of the Marine , and

Fisheries Department for tha your 1928 is very satisfactory, and. indi- cations point to ii slight increase in the value of the catch over the pre- vious year. The value of this yeai-'ii catch at boat side up to and includ- ing November 30th, as reported by

the Inspector of Fiqgieriea, Mx; B. ‘I Gallant was $1.097. 61. The market value will increase this total by from ten to hftem- per cent. The total value of the catch at boatside fari the year 192'! was $1,191,894 or $93.-
