at the annual meeting of the Board
The year just closed has been one
of more than ordinary activity on
the part of the Charlottetown Board

ings were held. also twenty one coun-
cil meetings, as well as one meeting
re Empire shopping week, and one
wepecial meeting of the Tran_sportat-
ion Committee and Executive. when
Mr. Weatherston and Mr. Clnrkin of
the Canadian National R.allway,l-lcn-

culture, and Mr. W. Boulter, Deputy
Minister of Agriculture, were present

mer schedule throughout the year.
and a brief was 'forwarded to the
` Bdatd cf Railway Commissioners of
Canada, and copies of the brief were
forwarded to our Federal Represent-
oi, and it is still unfinished.
Immediately after the ure, your
Council held several meetings with
our Federal Represenizatives, and a
contract was let for a new buildingto
take the place of the one destroyed
by nrc, this building to be completed
by the fifteenth of October, but ow-
ing to the late arrival of malterlal.

wits not completed in time to be of
any use during the fall season. It/is,

more su".able than the one destroy-
ed, and should be of much benefit to
the City and Province, providing there
ls n better understanding and co-op-
eration lieu/teen the Longshore men
and the Steam Ship agents.
.-.dig the month of April, Empire
shopping wcck was held and in con-
nection therewith, your Board, in con-
_iunf lon with the Department of Ed-
ucation of this Province. conducted

I had the honor to represent this

Quebec City on June 7th, 8th, and

An alternative schedule was pro-

Mails and passengers, howevcncom-
ing by the late boat, remain- in Bor-
den ovcr night. and reach Charlotte-
town at 10.30 ia. m.. the iollowlni;
moming. The cost of operating the
service asked for by our Bourrl was
the reason given by lthc Railway for
thc altemative service suggested.
The Board of Railway Commission- ,
ara agreed that the R.allwny's sugges-
ted alternative schedule be given a

tion since January 7th. and while

to and from Prince Edward Island.
On October 24th.. your Board
had a conference with Mr. Ap-
pleton, Mr. Tompkins and Mr.
Barker of the Canadian National
Railway in reference to the plans of
the New Car Ferry and the informa-
tion gathered was to the effect that
the new boat would be about the
same size and carrying capacity, as
ithie Car Ferry Prince Edward Island,
and we were of the opinion that a
larger boat was necesary to take care
of our ever increasing traffic.
Later a committee was appointed
from this Board, and the Summerside
Board _was asked to oo-operate with
our Committee and the maltter was
later taken up by the Associated
Boards and also the Maritime Board
and resolutions were passed demand-
ing a larger boot and better docking
facilities. _`
Annual Meeting of the Maritime i
Board of Trade.
The Annual Meeting of the Mari-
time Board was held at Halifax on
November 21st. Mr. J. O. Hyndman
and Mr. Paton, representing the
Charlottetown Board of Trade. and
Mr. R.. E. Mutch representing the
Associated Board of Trade were pre-
sent.
This was the largest and most suc-
cessful Conference ln the history of
the Maritime Board. Many impor-
tant matters of vital interest to the
trade and future prosperity of the
Atlantic Provinces were dealt with.
Those having a direct bearing to our
Province were the following: .
1. New Car-ferry and additional
docking facilities. - _
2. Finther extension by Canadian
National Railways of summer resort
lodges. such as that established in
Picton was advocated for the Mari-
times and to include Prince Edward
Island.
3. The fishing industry to be as-
sisted and stimulated by extension of
railway facilities to isolated fishing
centres.
4. Eieamshlpl facilities between Bt.
John and Cube. to develop n regular
and steady outlet for potatoes from
the Maritimes, _ .
5. Reduction ln freight rates.
6. Implementation of tho Duncan
Report in its entirety.
A very significant ststementin the
address of retiring President Tum-
bull read as follows: “If our Provinc-
es are to continue as ii dinnping
-ground for. the surplus goods of the
more densely populated portions of
Canada to the detriment of our own
producers. we can never prosper, and
there is only one way ln- which the
adverse conditions _.can be rectified
and that is by .virtue of reduced
freight rates and more flexible trans-
portation conveniences."
. The matter of greatest importance.
rhnwevor. to this Province was the un-
animous endorsement of the I‘sland‘s
demands for adequate ferry service.
ixxnnecting the-~la1ond~and Mainland
railways as iipecided in the resolu-
tion adopted by the Associated
Boards of Trade. The Maritime Board
have since actively followed the mat-
ter up. and have 1.14-iceolictted the
cooperation and induonce of tho
Canadian Chamber of Commerce in
preuing the case at Ottawa as a
national economic necessity. We are
very grateful for the splendid support
thus given by our sister Provinces.

The prices of all agricultural pro-
ducts, with the single exception ol'
potatoes have experienced a satisfac-
tory advance during the past year.
The price of pork, while averaging
a satisfactory figure throughout the
year, showed a marked decline to-
ward the end of the year. This was
caused to a large extent by an ex-
oesslve surplus during the heaviest
p.oducing months. This condition
could, be P8-rtly avoided by the far-
mers marketing their pork more ev-
enly throughout the year.
Lambs sold as high as 17 cents pcr
pound, which is a new record for
this Province.
Good beef cattle have been sold
as msn as ten cents per poimd on
the hoof, which is the highest price
received for beef since the war years.
Chickens. turkeys, geese and ducks
were all disposed of at high prices.
The price of eats was well main-
taixiedthmiighcut the year, and pro-
ductions showed an increase over the
previous year. ‘ .
Hay was a good average crop and
turniim were above the average.
Grain and root crops were excep-
tionally good thisyear.
Cattle, especially dairy cattle
were _in great demand and ii large
number was exported.
There was an increase in quantity
of butter and cheese produced and

tion have been very satisfactory. l

"Htl It HIVCS us n total production
of 4.000.000 dozen egg.; for the year
1028. These eggs were valued at 30
cents per dozen, showing a value of
$_l.200.000. In addition to the above
Iisures 50,000 dozens valued at 32
cents per dozen or $16,000 wcrc ex-
ported, making rt total value of $1,-
216,000 for the eggs produced on
Prince Edward Islanfl during 1923.
Duflllg the year 1928, we export-
.sd 9 cars of live poultry valued at
$71500, live tl0CSe to thc value of
$8.000, 650,000 dressed poultry at 30

tion to this it is estimated that the
home consumption of poultry am.
f»Ufll0d to 660.000 Pounds at 30 cents
or $108,000.
Total value of poultry production
for the year was $422,300. Add to
this the valueof eggs exported and
' f'"‘!v and we have thc
g'1'9.nd total of $1,638,500 as the value
of our egg and poultry biisliiess for
the past year.
FOXES
Our lox breeders were vciy fortun-
utc this year in securing satisfac-
tory prices for their livc foxes and
the demand has been very keen from
EUl”0D1’an buyers, due principally to
the high quality and good reputa-
tion of our foxes. The value of the
rvinrketf-ri skins and live foxes has
been estimated by one of our chief
expirtes to be between $4,000,000
and $5,000,000.
The Canadian National Express
Coinpriny reports that about 5,000
live _foxes have been shipped ubi-ond,
as compared with 4,246 in 1927.
'Ihtre has not been E single known
casualty in 'ali these shipments and
rome of them were shipped to Japan.
Germany and Norway were the
best European customers this yarir,

in Sweden, Scotland, Czecho Slova-
kia, Bavaria., Finland, France, Hol-
land and Japan.
FISHERIES
The report of the Marine , and
Fisheries Department for tha your
1928 is very satisfactory, and. indi-
cations point to ii slight increase in
the value of the catch over the pre-
vious year. The value of this yeai-'ii
catch at boat side up to and includ-
ing November 30th, as reported by
the Inspector of Fiqgieriea, Mx; B. ‘I
Gallant was $1.097. 61. The market
value will increase this total by from
ten to hftem- per cent. The total
value of the catch at boatside fari
