how

The

CO-ORDINATED
KOAD-KAIL
SERVICE
A
co-ordinated
highway-rail
service
between
Prince
Rupert
and
Burns
Lake
was
urged
Wednesday
afternoon
by
G.
C.
Norman,
assistant
.transport
econ
omist
for
Canadian
National
Railways.
Testimony
from
the
private
truckers
expressed
the
fear
of
a
"monopoly"
In
transportation,
while
Canadian
National
witnesses
declared
that
the
nationally-owned
railroad
ls
in
a
position
to
give
an
"entirely
superior
highway
service"
because
of
its
ability
to
co-ordinate
Its
rail
facilities
"with
the
proposed
highway
service.
Mr.
Norman
told
the
commission
of
a
similar
co-ordinated
operation
between
Fort
William
and
Geraldton,
In
Ontario,
declaring
that
a
similar
set-up
could
function
satisfactorily
In
central
British
Columbia.
J.
V.
Clyne,
solicitor,
cross-questioned
railway
witnesses
and.
presented
truckers
who
urged
that
the
franchise
should
go
to
"private
enterprise"
rather
than
to
Canadian
National.
