Expansion, Developments Are Outlined At Meeting

Expansions and developments of the Island Development Com-

Wendell Mac- Kay, at a meeting of Rotarians in the Charlottetown Hotel. .

In speaking on some of the company’s holdings, Mr. Mac- ‘Kay mentioned the Charlotte- town Hotel, ownership of Shed

of land near Covehead, former- ly khown as Black River Farm; the Royal Malpeque Oyster Company. with about 100 acres of oyster beds’in Malpeque Bay, a large section of Boughton Is- land comprising about 400 acres,

“Betweln. the facalccraticn of the company in July of-1963 and the take-.over.of the hotel in No- vember of 1964 — a. period of some 15 months — an enormous amount of research was carried out into the development possi- bilities of this little Island. Every aspect of our_economy was examined in detait and its

ed — at the expense of the par- ent company, Atlantic Develop- ment; Margison and Associates |_ of Toronto, and the personal in- vestment ofmany thousands of dollars by the President, Mr. Margison and vice-president, .Ed- gar T. Alberts, also of Toronto,” said Mr. MacKay.

Both men, said Mr. MacKay, demonstrated their affection’ for P.E.I. by investing in it not only.

faith as well.

He went on to say that A.D. Margison and Associates of Tor- onto is quite a large firm of con- sulting engineers and during the 18 months previous to the take-| over of the Charlottetown Hotel swarms of engineers and con- sultants traversed this Island from one end to the other. It was_a_costly business, but the detailed reports and mass of re- search obtained justified the ex- penditure of every penny of it.

Mr. MacKay said, ‘‘the cause- way submission to the Federal Government alone costs_tens of thousands of dollars, make no mistake about it, that proposal put the government of Canada in the position where it had to do something. (Recently, quite evi- dently they did. do something, for there’s been a’ smell about it around this province!) There were people-all across Canada— some of them in this province, I regret to say — who scoffed at the-idea of a private company offering .to build. the P.E.I. causeway.

“Within weeks, the Island De- velopmest Company Limited placed in the hands of the -Min- ister of Transport a com- plete, detailed proposal for the construction of the causeway to P.E.I._and supported by guaran- teed funds with which to do it. In’other words, P.K.I. no longer had to depend upon the govern- ment-of-Canada-—to—provide—its long awaited, hopefully dream- ed for, land link with the main- land. The proposal submitted by the IDC to the federal govern- 'ment could just as easily be sub- mitted to and carried out, by the provincial government « of P.E.I. Within’ months—of—IDG‘s+ submission to Ottawa, the con- struction of the causeway by the federal :government was an- iounced. :

Mac. MacKay described the jin 12 words — to study, plan and participate in the development |of Prince Edward Island.

“Thus far the company has itwo principal fields of endeavour both based upon the primary resources of the province: ’ (1) tourism, which includes the ho- tel, Boughton and the tuna boat, ‘and (2) food. and eericulture," he said. .

The Charlottetown Hotel pro- vides this community with a ser- vice which, .at-the-present-time, cannot be duplicated anywhere in the ‘province, and at prices far below comparable hosteleries in “the” Maritime provinces

Mr.- MacKay stated, “‘we re- cognize. that-we are involved in a highly competitive industry and we are prepared—yes, and wil- ling, to compete favorably with any establishment which pro- vides a comparable service—but we do not propose to reduc€ our standards of service, nor © our prices, to lunch counter levels in order to meet that kind of competition:”” —

PROVINCIAL DISGRACE. Ur “mentioning the- “company’s holding of a‘ farm comprising | ¢ about 180 head of beef: cattle, 50 sows and about 400 market hogs in~ various stages”-ofde=| velopment, Mr. MacKay - said that the importation of beef into Prince Edward Island is a provincial disgrace.

“P.E.I. should be exporting not importing beef and in its division of food arid agriculture, the Island Development Company Limited is prepared to practice

mittee on agriculture recom-| cussed in the Legislature yester- day, that .a study of the school tax structure be made ‘“‘at the)

Dr. George Dewar, minister. of ‘education; said earlier in the session that an inquiry: into ‘ school. taxation methods is plan- | ned for the province. 1 The committee said its view that ‘

it was ‘there is need for

-}a ‘better appreciation of the| problem affecting their respect- ive areas. We realize that this is a_ social-economic problem which experts in the field a public relations will have solve, and although we wae no recommendations on this/|e point, we nevertheless feel that it should be brought to light.” ‘Kings County Liberal Alex Matheson said he was disgusted with the reporty at this stage. “Where’s your recommendat- ion?’’ he asked. He suggested the committee should be asham- ‘ed of bringing in a report deal-
