THE

PROPOSED REDUCTION.

(Continued from page one.)

be necessary to reduce rates on the Edward Island branch to two thirds of the

present rates, Then the

Edward Island will be puyi

| rateas is charged on thelntercolonial. |

{i thatthe workiog expenses of the In- | ter olonial are $2,711 per mile, and the i working expenses of the Prince Edwerd

Island Railway only $1,101.99. The | working expenses Of one road are more

ian double those of the other,. and when } you consider wha: lL have a'ready said, | | think the Is plain tO any person | who willggive it consideration. If the hon. Minisier will give it his consideration he will find that his receipts will not be diminished but that they will be increased by reducing the rates. There istbe other consideration : the cost of the Prince Kd- ward Island Railway, inclading rolling stock and everything, was $3,768,107. 25, or at the rate of $17,610 per mile. The eost of the Intercolonial R silway, accord~

quesion

ing to the latest statement I cao get in the report of the Rails way Department, was $55, -

668,913.95 or ot the rate of $46,352 per Itis in my Opipiov, unreasonable

rate ona road which Only cost about one-third of the other road should theeame asthe rate upon the other road. tis not business that theae rates should be left unequalized, and I would ask the bon. Minister to give his consider - ation to this question. I am sure, if he wants to wipe out the deficit on that branch of the Interccolonial, one thing tbat will conduce to it is to reduce the rates so that the people of Prince Edward Island will not be paying as they are today, at the rate of 44 cents a mile on that section of the roal.

The Minister of Railways and Canals. When my hon. friend (Mr. Martin) states that the working expenses oa the Intercol- onial are$ 2700a mile and upon the Prince Edward Island road $1,100 per mile and draws the inference which he does from that fact, I think he loses sight of consideartions which will not really support his general »rgument,. The fact that the working expenses of the Latercol - onial Railway are so wuch larger is due to the greatly increased amount of burineges that ie done upon the intercolonial Rail- way and not, cither tothe condition of the road, ortothe character of its struct~ ure, as compared with the Island road. I may say that the point of view from which my hon. friend has presented his claim, that -the department migh- fairly consider this subject of makt ing some reduction in the passeng:r rates and the way in whicbhe brings it for- ward are quite new tome. Iam bound to | sav that I think it has some force in it and | is entitled to consideration. The fact that the railway was mede much louger than it need bave been made, that the mileage is so much greater than it need have been, and that the rates are base? upon the dame raie per mile ason the Late rcolonial Rail- way, is quite a new, reasonable and strong point of view from which to present the case. Should J, yielding to the force of bis strong preseutation of the case, make a reduction and it should not turn out not quite as he anticipates, or that there should

mile, that the

=

be rome increase in the deficit in the working of the road, I thirk I would bave to count

upon the assistance of my hon. friend to justify me in my course and to meet tue very strong adverse criticism that my ac. tion in that regard would have provoked. I will say this to my hon. friend, tbat lam willing to give the subject a very fair and full consideration. If it is possible to s+

detriment to the public interests, I should be very much pleased to be able to do 0, and I would hopethat, if the experiment were tried, the hon. gentlemen’s anticipa tions, as to the results wou'd be more than realized,

Mr Martin—I think the hon. gentleman (Mr. Blair) will tind that there is a prejus

| dice in the minds of the people of Prince

| Edward Island due to the fact that they | believe they are paying too much for travelling On that road, The hon gentle

man might follow the example of the hon Postmaster General (Mr Mulock) in re- | ducing therate of postage. He might not for the first yearhave the anticipated re sulis, but I believe that he would eventu- ally ficd thet thereceipts from the road would be increased rather than decreased.

Mr. Macdonald (King’s, P. E. 1) Quite an agitation is Spripging up in this country in favor of the sadopiion of the2 centsa mile rate on railways generally.

The Minister of Railwaystand Canals — [ hope the egitation will not strike the Intercolonial.

Mr. Macdonald—I hope not. I must agree with the hon: gentleman there, but I tbink this would be a very good opportunity, to illustrate the matter and see if any such results can be obtained from the adoption of that experiment as are anticipated by its advocates. I am very muco pleased to find that the hon. Minister of Railways looks tavorablely on the suggestions that bave been thrown out by the bon. member for East Queen’s (Mr. Martin) and myself on this occasion ina matter that to my mind appears #0 reasonable. I think the request is a reasonable one, ia fact, I think the present state of affairs in Priuce Edward Island is very unreasonatie for the reasons that have already been eet forth. The cost of the road was very small, and che expenses are also small, in comparison with the large roads, I think myself that under these circumstances, while the road only cost oue-third of the Intercolonial Railway, it would not be prudent to give us @ rate at one-third of what is charged on the Intercolonial Rail-. way. I um not eo unreasonable as that; but it is worth while considering a very substantial reduction with the strong hope

jally, as{ am eure it would. Froma personal standpoint, {I can bardly favour that, as it might bring trade past myeelf. But all {tke same ‘in the interest of the public generally, it woald be a good thing.
