good rail service is the existence of two com panies Unified management of railways as public utility is the answer In submission to concluding hearings of the federal commis sion on grain handling and tran sportation the government said there is much unnecessary duplication in rail service Our system was built in the day of allout competition Competing tracks run parallel to each other Grain from Nipawin moves to Vancouver while grain from Rosetown goes to Churchill Today we pay millions as the price of not controlling the railways The submission presented by Transport Minister Gordon MacMurchy said it is essential that redesigned rail network for prairie grain be accom panied by upgrading of rail lines and measures to prevent the railways from again allow ing lines to deteriorate If this cannot be done we are faced with the real possibility of sitting in this same room 10 years from now faced with horrendous costs to repair years of neglect The government also warned that the power of the railways to manipulate service must be curbed Westerners know from bit ter experience that railway promises mean next to nothing Mr MacMurchy said GREATEST RISK He said the greatest risk

years ago compelled him to thumb his nose at death again the government said it is pre pared to consider abandonment of 997 of the 3600 miles of Sas katchewan rail lilies bcing re viewed by the
