The new freight setup further- more just perpetuates the present situation in which the PGE operator can only compete on the American market.” Although the figures given per- tain to the Quesnel area, it is appar- ent that Williams Lake operators will suffer even more under the new fieight rate structure, which is based’ on the distance from Prince George. “As far as 1 know,” states Mr. Kirz in his survey, “it has been the hope and endeavor of Mr. Kennedy and Mr. Drage to have our freight rates somewhere between the Prince George and Vancouver rates. It was considered, if I am not mis- taken, that coast rates—would be about the worst we could get. It is however, not just a question of dis- appointment that it has been impos- sible to realize this objective, but the penalty on shipments from PGE points as compared to Prince George or even the coust still stays such that our industry remains just as Margin- al and vulnerable as it has been before the eonnection to Prince George.” In giving a comparison of freight rates to several key destinations from Quesnel, Mr. Kirz states that they easily illustrate the statement that the northern end of the PGE has been completely eliminated from set able classrooms this morning and | Grades 9,10, 11 will start their term Trex a Mrs. Graysea says that 20 pounds vext Monday, the school board hopes. is just a rough estimate of the weight | of the fish.
