by
II.
O.
Archibald,
MJ,
for
Skeena,
with
Hon.
Alphonse
Fournier,
minister
of
public
works,
recently-
when
telephone
and
telegraph
service
operation
and
maintenance
estimates
were
under
discuslson.
Mr.
Archibald
told
how
the.
telephone
line
between
Massett
and
Port
Clements
failed
to
work
at.
high
tide,
how1
the
people
of
the
Klspiox
Valley
were
allegedly
overcharged
and
how
the-
telephone
service
from
Burps
Iake
might
be
improved.
Hansard
records
the
discussion
as
follows:
Mr.
ARCHIBALD:
I
?iave
two
or
three
points
to
bring
up
uuder
this
Item.
First
of
all,
I
should
like
to
bring
to
tne
attention
of
the
minister
the
fact
that
the
telephone
line
between
Massett
and
Port
Clements
does
not
work
at
high
tide.
Therefore,
in
a
crisis
or
anything
like
that,
the
thing
would
be
a
complete
washout.
During
the
war
there
was
a
D.O.T.
station
operated
out
of
Massett.
Has
the
government
or
the
department
considered
taking
over
that
installation
and
operating
a
radio
telephone-
up
there?
Mr.
FOURNIER:
I
am
Inform
ed
fhat
we
have
put
In
the
best
system
known.
The
hon,
gentleman
says
it
does
not
operate?
Mr,
ARCHIBALD:
That
Is
the
Information
I
received
from
a
reliable
source.
They
say
It
does
not
work
at
high
tide.
Mr.
FOURNIER:
I
am
informed
that
we
cannot
understand
why
It
would
not
operate
at
high
tide.
I
am
no
expert
:Mr.
ARCHIBALD:
I
suggest
that
the
minister
check
with
the
residents
of
Massett,
because
the
latest
word
I
received
is
that
It
does
not
work'at
high
tide.
They
are
vitally
Interested
In
radio
telephones,
and
I
shall
give
the
reasons.
There
Is
now
an
aeroplane
service-Mr.
FOURNIER:
I
know
there
is
a
radio
telephone
service
up
there.

threw
a

in

suddenly
and
without

he

that

report
within

the

of

The

came
so
suddenly
that

Tlie
