that relating to drunken and impaired driving were reduc- ed from the all time high of 179 in 1954 to 130 in 1955.

There was also a decline in the number of cases of reckless driv- ing now in the section of the new Criminal Code dealing with cri- mlnal negligence in the operation of a motor vehicle. their being fifteen cases in 1955 as compared to 30 in 1054. This reduction is be- ieved to be closely related with the increased vigilance and acti- vites of the road patrols. Also, possibly. the motoring public are becoming more aware of the dan- gers of driving while intoxicated and are exercising more care.

The improved picture of the foregoing was slightly marredby the steady increase of the offence of failing to stop at the scene of an accident (hit and run) with 43 cases in 1055. of these investiga- tors successfully identified 35 and four are still under investigation.

Eleven highway traffic accid- ents were responsible for the fil- teen fatalities during the year. year. Six were the result of non- collision accidents and the re- maining five involved collisions with other vehicles. All but one of the vehicles were of P. E. I. registry. the other being a U. S. A. registered car.

The operations of the ltraffic squad comprising seven men with three cars and three motor cycles will vary little from the present traffic and enforcement program zsich is producing satisfactory rs-

ts.

FEWER INVESTIGATIONS During the year the total num- ber of Investigations made under the Federal Statutes. Provincial Statutes and Municipal Statutes amounted to 5.879. Under Federal Statutes the number of investiga- tions made was 509, this repre sents a drop of some ten per cent over the previous year; the main cause of this reduction being few- er cases under the Customs Act. Indian Act and Fisheries Act.

vlt is noted that there was an increase in the number of investi- gations under the Excise Act and at present nine prosecutions are

Of the 681 investigations under the Criminal Code, 393 prosecu- tions were entered with :20 con- victions being obteined. Of the re- mainder 74 are still under inves- tigation. 48 were handed over to

Island Ayrshires. Are Tops In Milk Production

In the February issue of "The Canadian Ayrshire Review". just published. it is interesting to note that Island Ayrshires stand well to the top of the various classes.

For example. in the Mature Class. 305 day division. Charlotte- town Sir Roderick Dorothy. owned by the Experimental farm. was second in class of IS. with 1l,75l lbs. milk. 515. fat. this being 134 and 145 percent of the breed aver- age for milk and butterfat product- ion respectively.

In the Senior Four-Year Old Class. Falrvue Melody. owned by A. Macl-'tae and son. was first in a class of ten. with a production of 13,268 lbs. milk, 589 lbs. fat. this being 156 and 168 percent of the breed average for milk and butter- fat respectively.

In the Junior three-Year old Class. charlottetown Fair Flora, owned by the Experimental Farm. was second among a group of 12, producing 10,182 lbs. milk and 500 lbs fat.

"I leave it to you whether it was a figment of his own ima- gination or his own idea.” said the Premier.

TRAFFIC INCREASE .

As an indication how the auto-

”' traffic had increased at Borden during the past 15 years, the Premier showed that from 25.000 cars in 1941 it had grown to 103.000 in 1953: 104.000 in-1054 and 123.000 in 1955. "With this trend. it would follow that in 1962 we would expect a traffic of.100.- 000. Or if we could expect the 30 per cent increase in traffic ex- perlenced by the Cause Causeway. we would be handling 240.000 cars a year.

"If this continues there is no rea- son why we would not require an- other boat."

RISING COSTS

Premier Matheson said that the operating cost of the csrferry to the Federal Government in 1940 was 5400.000. and this had increas- ed steadily until in 1953. it was Cl.- d00.000. He pointed out that this amount did not include deprecia- tion on docks and ferries which be estimated at another 3750.000. In other words. he said the total cost from 1983 to 1953 was well over 1555 million dollars. Calcul- ated on the same basis, it would by 1902 amount to 34 million.

It was noted by the Premier that with the construction of the Halifax-Dartmouth Bridge. the traffic had increased very much, an indication. he said. that when the service is provided, the people will use it.

In another comparison. he made reference to the service which was in effect across the Macklsw Straits in Michigan. The distance over this body of water is eight miles and formerly they had us- ed ferries. They kept increasing the number (each one as big as the Abcgweltl until they had six operating but found they could not handle the traffic.

At last it was decided to build a bridge at a cost of s1oo.ooo,ooo. "What are we going to do here?- build a bridge-a tunnel-or a causeway." He said that the av- crege depth of Northumberland

Mr. said that the man who did the survey work and pre-

eetisnsted the cost of the Canso Causeway. "In the Canso Job be estimated the cost as 322000.000 it has been built for about G000," he said.

The Premier said that the pro- posed causeway would be 80 feet wide at the top with a two foot slope per foot at the sides. The of the causeway would be 25 feet above low water. There would be a paved highway and a rail- road track.
