MR. MACLAGGAN

ord as strongly supporting the con- struction of the Borden - Tormen- tine causeway.

Our marine transportation facil- life: have been taxed beyond cap- acity during the past year. Ship loadings were at an all-time high and the large sheds on the Marine Wharf have proved inadequate. It is fortunate that the Minister of Public Works. I-ion. Robert Win- ters. had an opportunity to see the conditions at first hand and to be convinced of the necessity for ex- tension to the sheds and for heating facilities to be provided.

When it became known that the Canadian National Railways in- tended serious curtailment of train schedules in the wcsiem part of the Province your Council acted quickly on the matter. The Alber- ton and West Prince Board of Trade was invited to join with us in the matter and a public meeting was held In Summerslde at which the Premier and several membc 3 of the Provincial Government were present. A committee from this meeting waited on the C.N.R. officials in Moncton requesting that they meet with the local ship- pers pefore making any change in the schedules. This they agreed to do.

At a well attended public meet- ing with the C.N.R. officials pres- ent the railway transportation sit- uation was thoroughly discussed and slightly revised schedules were agreed upon. The co-opers- tion of the Railways in endeavouring to meet the shipping requirements of this area is appreciated.

During the year the Summer side Branch of the Canadian Le- lon has vigorously campaigned for Street Delivery by the Post Office Department. Our Board has been asked by the Legion to lend Its support at such time as it ap- pears likely that such a service can be inaugurated. Congratulations are due the Char- lottetown Board of Trade In or- ganlzlng our first Board of Trade "Work Shop". This takes the form of a joint eetlng of representa- t of al the Prince Edward I nd Boards of Trade and pro- vides an opportunity for discussion of subjects of common interest to all parts of our Province.

I regret to have to annmsnc that our Secretary. Mr. Rarold Rodd. finds that the considerable time required in the Board of Trade work is simply not avail- able. partlcularly during his busy seasons. Mr. Rodd has given long and valued service to our Board and I am sure it has been ap- preciated.

We have asked for the assistance of our Federal Member of Far- liament on many occasions durlnl the past year. He gave us valuable help in connection with the Lob- ster Carnlval. the potato tariff res- olutlon and the railway "crisis'. to mention a few. He also was in- nu mental in having the Hon. Mr. Winters visit Summerslde. 0 know that Mr. MacNsught consid- era these things as being only in the line of duty but we think him. nevertheless.

In closing this report I wish to express my personal thanks to all those who have given me so much

iLast uaday was the first time since I ave been chairman of streets. that the approaches to our City churches were in such con- dition and. all had to tell one clergyman on Saturday night when be appealed to me for help. that owing to this resolution I could do nothing.

'tlt is my contention that all taxpayers living on side or narrow streets. are entitled to Just as much consideration and service as those living in the business areas. or on streets that are wide enough to make possible two way traffic when ploughed.

"Those people's homes should be made properly accesible as soon after a storm as possible. This is necessary in order for these peo- ple. in case of need of a doctor or an ambulance, to get their coal or oil in when needed. so as not to cause any unnecessary dis- comfort. if not illness, (and many need coal or oil every week; be- cause a week's supply is all they can afford to buy at any one time, to get their milk and groceries etc. delivered.

"However. if the resolution as passed at Tuesday's meeting is not soon rescinded I great many of you good people will not have two way traffic on your street for a long, long time and if we get another storm you won't even have one way traffic. You may have to start imusblng the trail' again.

"Another big storm would be bad enough.

You who are living In that area won't be mush- ing the trallt but rather paddling your canoes or fishing boats.

"This is more or less the hu- mane side of the picture, ladies and gentlemen; but what about the tear on cars and trucks. What do you think, Mr. Grocery Man. Mr. Milkmen. Mr. Dry Good's Man. Mr. Drugglst, Mr. Dry Cleaner, Mr. Coal Dealer. Mr. Oil Man and Mr. Tsxlman.

Chairman T.J. Inman stated that a very close relationship has been established between our rural and urban citizens: through the Board of Trade activities; yet possibly few urban iesidents realize that under present day methods of modern farming. where large in- vestments of money is necessary; that the successful farmer of to- day has to be a shrewd business man in order to stay in business.
