valled all over the Island.

The growers had felt there should be no discrepancy in price and so had set the same mini- mum in both the inner and outer zones under review.

He first introduced as an exhibit an order of the Potato Marketing Board setting out the minimum p.-ices and then another exhibit revealing the prices paid to pro- ducens in the inner and outer zones. With various weeks of the shipping season taken as examples the figures showed that generally speaking the prices paid were higher than the minimum rates set. It was also revealed by the exhibit that when there is a slow- down in business and prices are at the minimum there is little shipping activity in the outer zone.

Also it was shown that usually the prices paid in the inner zone. that is the territory within two lines and including the section of Charlottetown. Summeride, and sections in between. were five cents per bushel more than in the outer zone.

Cornimissioner H. 8. Chase raised the question of dealers and farm- ers buying potatoes for storage but was told there was not enough storage space in the Pro- vince to permit this on any large scale. The witness told him that if a dealer sold out of storage he immediately bought more stock to replace the quantity sold. The bulk of the potatoes are stored by the producers themselves in areas under their own homes.

Commissionar Chase also in- quired as to the reason for the difference in price, five cents, be- ing more than the difference in the freight rates in the two zones. He was told this was mainly clue to differences in market prices. "Prices jump 5 cents at a time, not 8 cents".

But, objected the Commissioner, "Yuri are talking about something

which." ” its white I am talk- ing about something constant. It appears to me that the freight rate difference is being used against the growers." The matter was finally settled with the ex- plsnation that the price and freight rate usually managed to balance theniselves.

Mr. J. 0.C. Campbell interject- ed that on a poor market potatoes in the outer zone just did not sell. and Chief Commissioner Archibald asked, "Is that why last year they were dumping potatoes in the western end of the Island and selling them here?"

as. I

On the questioan of trucking potato. to the inner zone it was explained that the average grower had to truck his potatoes for ship- ment to some rail point anyway and the slight difference involved in taking thorn I few oxtra miles was more than paid for by the higher price received when they were sold in the inner zone.

when the question of trucking from the Murray Harbour area arose Mr. Dysart suggested that especially in the Lake Verde to Southport area the convenience of trucking at any convenient hour: was better than waiting on train schedules. Chief Commissioner Archibald dryly suggested that counsel follow that line of argu- ment further in the Summer-side district where 'no I-lillsborougr Bridge case" iexists.

Mr. Reid further stated: "If we had bought all our potatoes dur- ing our years in business in the inner zone we would have had three quarters of a million dol- lars profit." C issioner Chase asked, "What profit would you have had if you had bought in the outer zone?" Mr. Campbell sug- gested. "You would have been out of buslnu." and Mr. Chase com- mentcd "Certainly in a bad way"

Mr. Horace B. Willis said he was the largest individual exporter of potatoes in the Province, shipping over 4,000 cars from the 100-1950

kevised Bates , For Trucking To Remain lihchanged

Querled on the matter of truck rates and the reported refusal of truckers to continue hauling gravel to the paving job on the George- town Road, an official of the De- partment of Public Works and Highways stated yesterday that his Department was not prepared. at this time. to go beyond the recent- ly revised rates which became ef-

It fective on June 1st.

These rates, which have been publish and distributed to all road to omen and contractors. pro- vided for payment of 11 cents per yard mile up to five miles and 0 cents thereafter.

Hourly rates for gravel has been raised to 82.75. The official stated it was esti- mated that this revlsed schedule will cost the Department 3100.000 for the current year.

He added that the schedules of other Provinces have been obtain- ed, and it has been found that the rates now offered locally compare favorably with any other part of Canada.,

French Language Newspapers Protest Proposed Postal Rates

QUEBEC, June 6-(CP) -Two French language afternoon dailies, Le Soleil and L'Action Catholiqug, said today in a Joint. telegram to Prime Minister St. Laurent and Postmaster-General Rinfret that new postal rates, up for third reading in Parliament, "strike ar- bitrarily" at them.

Telegrams of protest were also dispatched to the Prime Minister and Mr. Rinfret by Mayor Lucien Borne of Quebec and the Retail Merchants” Association. Quebec section.

Mayor Borne's telegram said the postal increase "does not seem equitable" while the Quebec mer- chants said it was f'unrcasonablc and discriminatory.

Both telegrams asked that the new rates not be put into effect.

Le Soleil and L'Aciion Cathol- ique said in a three-point tele- gram drawn up in French:

”l. According to the Post Office Department. the new rate of four cents a pound for the transporta- tion of dailies in Canada would produce aninu-a1 additional revenue of 91,000,000, another 31,000,000 coming from weeklies and maga- zines.

"2. Of this additional 31,000,000 revenue bwo newspapers, Le S91- eil and L'Action Catholique would be called upon to pay nearly 1-4. 9113.000 in the case of Le Soleil and sl20,000 in the case of L'- Action Catholique. '

"3. If it is considered there are about 100 dailies in Canada. it is evident that the sharing of this new postal rate strikes arbitrarily at Le Soleil and L'Action Cathol- iquc." '

The Quebec Chamber of Com- merce said in identical message to the Prime Minister and the Post- .master-General that the proposed rate "affects seriously the finan- cial positlon of the (Quebec) lKt&p'apefi!."

crop year. About half his ship- menl-S were by water. He said he only tr-uokecl from one point in an inner zone to another similar point when he was shipping by water. He had grown potatoes in both zones but had stopped grow- ing in the outer zone due to the freight rates. He added that when a potato boat was known to be in port he had no difficulty obta.in- ing potatoes for shipment. Grow- ers hustled to get them on the boat.

Rates structure Explained

The rest; of the morning and early sftgnoon sessions were tak- en up with technical testimony given by Mr. Denis Headley. ss- slstant general freight agent. C.N. Er. Montreal.

Mr. Headley explained in detail the original basic structure of Maritime freight rates and told how they had originated from the first rates from Toronto to Hal- ifax. via Grand Trunk Railway to Portland. Maine, and thence by steamer. When the first through rail line was established in the Seaside Provinces the freight rates put into effect were "water com- pelled" rates to enable the line to compete with the Portland route.

Later other rates were establish- ed on a competitive basis using the Canadian Pacific Railway rate to Saint John. N. 3.. as a base. Even yet, he said, the cllu rates are based on the rate from To- ronto to Saint John with arbitrar- ies being passed to other "controlled regions" such at Halifax. This was done along the main line, but eventually. due to competition forced by coastal vessels in the Maritimu. the Halifax group rates had to be extended to such Nova Scoila coast points branching off the main line as Pictou. Pugwash. Buoiouche and onion.

After the esiablislrment of the car ferry service the line from ssolwllle to Cape T... entice was taken into the group. but it was not'untli in! that the Charlotte- town-Summe ” rates were plac- ed on a parity with those of Hal- ifax. Prior to that time there had been a differenttal,vsi'ying from four to eight cents in the rates with those to the local destina- tions always hi her.

He mnintsi that making this Province a one-sooo rats ans would have serious atom. especially in Nova otia. and might influence the entire Mari-

time we setup including the ore. sent rates to United States points.
