CPR Expects Profit Cuf Under New Transport Bill

. By BEN -WARD

OTTAWA (CP)—Railway sub- sidy provisions in the govern- ment’s proposed transport legis- lation .were critized by the CPR which said ‘it ex- pects to face reduced profits

after the bill goes into’ effect.

CPR Chairman N, ‘R. Crump and President Ian Sinclair said in a brief to the . Commons transport committee that the plan to.wipe out normal railway subsidies in eight years should be revised to extend the period.

ON THEAIR

The following program list- ings are published free of eharge as a public service and appear as presented to us’ by the stations concerned.

A similar request was made to the committee a week ago by CNR President Donald Gor- don.

The transport bill provides the railways the first year with a subsidy of $110,000,000° which ‘decreases by $14,000,000 every year until it reaches’ zero. It

“ Both CPR executives, how- ever, praised the intentrof the legislation to free the railways

“We do not seek to perpetuate our railway on the basis of sub- ‘sidy,”’ their brief stressed. ‘“‘We are. confident that, given a. fair regulatory climate, we can over a period —of--time— operate—a viable, economic and efficient railway without subsidy."

But the subsidy reduction pe-

sufficient time te reach this situation. ‘

Mr. Crump and Mr. Sinclair also urged the committee, which is making..a_ detailed study of the massive bill, to take a careful look at some of its other provisions.

The section setting a maxti- mum rate formula for shippers with no effective alternative to rail transport was too res trictive. It provides that a cap- tive shipper may be granted a basic rate equalling” the rail- way's variable costs. plus ‘150 per cent. This basic rate applies to carloads of 30,000 pounds and is scaled: down for heavier loadings.
