PROVINCIAL PARLIAMENT.
LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL.
Saturday, 9ih March.
HOUSE ON THE BILL TO ALTER THE STATUTE LABOR ACT.

Concluded fiom our last.) _

‘Tue Hon. Mr. Youne said the public roads in the neighbour-
hood of Charlottetown had never been worse since he travelled
them than they were last year; but whether their wretched
voudition Were attributable to the want of means, or the want
of judgment, he was noi prepared to say. (The hon. Mr. Swa-

_ bey ‘said, “give us plenty of money and we will give you good
tuads.”) The hen. Mre Swabey might be right; he disputed 1
‘hot; money might Le all that was wanted. When he (the hon.
Mr. Young) was in Canada, he was not unobservant of the
state of the roads in that province. In the greater part of then

incipal towns, the ways or streets were constructed of wood, and

Riven lake Lachine, and there was a long line of public
road, of about 12 feet wide, so consiructed. Five sleepers, laid
Jengthwise along the road occupied its breadth of 12 feet, aud

across these were laid sleepers 13 inches thick. The road wax
excellent, and, in fine weather, travelling upon it was delightful.

Inrainy weather, he must admit, however, it was rather oiner-

wise ; for then the road was very slippery, and one’s horse was
apt to say its prayers mich more frequently. than one migiit

this might be no great inconvenience. (“ Take that down, Re-
porter!” fiom the hun. Mr. Macdonald.) The great object a0
Canada had lately been, to facilitate communication between ils
different parts ; and they had made. and were stil making. great

proved roads. The progress of such improvements throughout
the country was, no doubt, ina great measure attributable to
the beneficial influence of responsible government, and munici-
pal regulations, The hon. and learned gentleman next said. he
thought it was a great hardship upon the inhabitants of Char-
lottetown, to have to keep the streets in repair. The streets of
Charlottetown were, in fact, more cut up by the country people.
with their heavily laden carts, than by the inhabitants of Chur-
lottetown themselves, and yet the farmer contributed nothing to
the keeping of them in repair To render this barthen less
weighty to the.people of Charlottetown, he would suggest the
propriety of placing a turnpike gate upon each of the three pub-
lic roads leading ino Chailottetown, and the exaction-at each
of these gates of a small toll, for every horse and cart passing
through to Charlottetown. so that every, person might be ob iged
to contribute to the repairs of the roads’ and streets which were
of so mach service to him, and which he was instrumental in
cutting up. inthe Legislature, he observed there Was scarcely
any more money appropriated to Queen's county, for its roads
am bridges, than to any other of the counties. This he thought
unfair. Mach more ought to be allowed on account ot Charloite-
town and Royalty, because the town was the centre of all busi
ness, and all persons visiting Charlottetown passed over the
Royalty roads, If it were in the power of their honors to do so,
he would recommend their introducing turnpikes into the bill,
He was not ceitain thet it was within their province so to
amend the bill.. He would defer to the opinion of the hon. Mr.
Brecken upon the subject, who was more au fait in all parlia-
mentary matters than he (the hon. Mr. Young) could pretend
to be. Atallevents, alihough there might be no prospect of
their carrying the introduction of turnpikes this year, yet the
introduction of the idea itself might be serviceable, as preparing
the way for its adopuon by a very liberal house, which he con-
fidently expected the next would be The bad roads, of which
he had been complaining, had cost him eight or ten carriage
springs. ~

The Hon. Mr. Macvonatp said the hon. Mr Young had, as
usual, let the cat out of the bag All bis boasted liberality ended
in taking good care uf his own pocket, and laying a tax upon
the poor farmer In driving his six greys, his honor had broken
half a dozen carriage springs, and therefore he would establish
tarnpikes, to lay an additional tax upon the poor farmer,bringing
his produce to market; for the improvement of the roads. He
(the hon. Mr. Macdonald) was sorry to think that such an idea
should be entertained for one moment by any meinber of that
house. The people of Charlottetown were well able to bear the

the country who visited the town did so for the purpose of leav-
ing money with the tradesmen, the merchants, the lawyers, and
the officers of government. Whatever be the natuie of the busi-
ness which brought the poor farmer to Charlotetown, he never
Talk of fur-
ther taxing the poor farmer, for the benefit of the people of
Charlottetown, indeed! The proposal was monstrously unjust.
If the tax paid by the inhabitants of Charlottetown, for the re-
pairs of their streets, was inadequate to the end, let them lay an
additional tax upon their own property. He was, in fact, satis-
fied that it was unjust to impose any tax but one upon property
for such a purpose; all money raised for.the purposes of road
making, should be by a tax on real property—by a land tax; tha:
would be the fairest mode of raising means for the extension and
improvement of our road communications’ Some better mate-
rial than soil, he thought, might, however, be found forthe mak-
ing and repairing of the roads The soil upon the roads, in
consequence of the repeated annual turnings which it received,
was becoming more and more unfit for the purpose; it was, in
fact, wrought into a kind of mortar. Could they not substitute
stone or wood. There was plenty of stone for the gathering.

- The Hon, Mr. Swazey would willingly second the motion of

~ tid) of so onerous an office as that tilled by himself and. bis
brother Justices, Their honors, perhaps, could not decide whe-
ther this system or that system of road making were the best,
even ifthey were called upon to do so; but he certainly thought
that they ought to recognise a principle which was general all
over the world ; namely, that they who used roads should pay
for them. He thought the proposal of the hon. Mr. Young. with
pect to turnpikes, was a very good one; and he should be
glad to see it followed up, although, if it were. it might, perhaps,
fall as heavily upon himself (the hon. Mr. Swabey) as upon any
other individual in the community 4 turnpile-gate might be
put upon the road leading to his farm, aud the toll would in
consequence press pretty heavily upon him. Persons coming to
town with heavy loads of produce, generally carried mouey out
of town; and as such persons made the most use of the roads,
and cut them up the most, they ought to be made to pay for the
use of them. We do not at present possess the means to make
good roads, but the establishing of turnpilses would doubtless so
far increase our meauys as to render them adequate to their
proper end. :

The Hon. Mr. Youne moved his suggestion, and the hon. Mr.
Swabey seconded the motion,

The Hon. Mr. Perens begged to enter his strongest dissent
against the suggestion. Look to England, and see what great
dissatiMfactton was created by the existence of turnpike-gates.
Look to Wales, and see what devastation these obnoxious gates
had caused, in that unfortunate principality, ‘The turnpike-gates
had been the cause of all the burning, havock, and bloodsued,
which had lately been there experienced. He would not live is
any country in which they were allowed to exist. If he were
now resident in England and Wales, such was his abhorrence
of turnpikes, that he would almost feel disposed to become a

ebeccaite. They ought not to be tolerated in any free country
They were insulting to freedom and to tree men. A free man
ought to be allowed to travel in every direction, without any

such irritating interruptions. When a traveller arrived at one
of these gates, he might find that he had forgotten his purse,
and, having no money about him, the gate would be closed
against his further progress, and he would be obliged to. retrace
his steps. How provokingly insulting toa free man was such
an interruption as this! He (the hon. Mr. Peters) would raise
his voice for the protection of the tenantry ; he would loudly
raise his voice against such doctrine, as had just been avowed.
Would it not be a great hardship upon the farmer, if we were
thas to impose a tax upon him, for the making of our roads in

which to carry on a trade with the people of the surrounding

4rade, make a good road to his premises? If it would be his
duty and interest to do so in the country, was it not equally the
duty and the interest of the merchants of Charlottetown to do

from the country in money, produce, and goods; and, upon
principle, the merchants were bound to make the public roads,
and keep them in good and sufficient repair; for at least five
miles out of town, that the poor man who was bringing his
produce to town for their benefit might not be obliged to urge
on his jaded horse through ‘the worst roads to de found in the

they wonld not be able to find any for the payment of grasping
landlords and needy agents. (‘ Name!” from-the hon. Mr,
Macdonald.) He could name. but that was not the proper season
for doing so. The hon and learned gentleman concluded by

the whole Isiand. :

His Hon the Prestpent agreed with his hon. and le urned
friend the Sulicitor General, in every word which bad fallen from
him against the suggested establishment of Turnpikes in this
colony. Turnpikes were little better than nuisances wherever
they were established. and in a new country like this they would
be complete ones. The-hon. suggester spoke of thereby tacilitat-
ing the intercourse with Charlotietown ; he bowever (dis hoo.
the President) thought no means could be devised which would
be more likely to militate against that intercourse. Their honors
all knew, indeed every person in the Island knew the scarcity of
the circulating medium. If Turnpikes were erecied on the roads
to Charlottetown, many persous weuld thereby be almost alroge-
ther debarred the privilege of approaching the Town To pay
the Toll on their way to Town would be to many an absolute im-
possibility. Such persons, if deterinined upon proceeding. would
de obliged to leave their jackets vr ther caps in pawn with the
YToll-barkeeper until their return. when, probably, by the sale of
some trifling articles of prodace,'hey might find the nselves able
to release their p'edges. The establishment of Turnpikes would
indeed, be bad policy in this country Even in England, the
policy of maintaining them was very mach doubted. Our popu-
lation was thinly scattered over the face of the country, the cir-
culating medium was exceedingly searce, and the erection of
Turhpike-gates would almost amount to a complete interdiction
of al. social and busivess intercourse throughout the Island. If
such a proposal were enjertained here, it would be ejected in the
other House; at least, if it were not, its snppo:ters would be
sconted from ths rustings at the next election.

The Hon M> Irvine said it wow!d not be fair to pronounce
upon the system adopted by the Justices at the end of one vear.
No; nor atthe endoftwo years A series of years was requisite
for the test. The hon gentleman. afier commenting unfavour.

other parts of the road leaving to’ his own residence. said the
faults which had been pointed oat were nut fairly attributable to
the system ip practice: the sysiem was goad, if it were properly
carried out. He had travelled over New Branswick The soil
of that Province was a loauny clay, and was. more suitable for
road making than the svil of this Island, generally speaking.
The hon. gentleman next poimed out the very ineficient manner
io which ruts are generally filled up upon (ar roads, and con-
cluded by declaring that we should never have good roads until
the system of Stature Labour was altoge:her expioded

The Hon. Mr Brecken observed that he was one of the Board
of Justices to whom had been entrusted the management of the
streets and roads of the Town and Royalty of Charlottetown’;
and he could not bat fe+l surprised at the manner in which their
services had been vecried. In fact, so satisfied had he been thet
they bad been rendering the public a service, that he had confi-
dently expected any notice which might be taken of them by the
Legislature would be in the shape of a vote of thanks

| The Hon. Mr. Youne here stated, that he had heard it: men:
tioned as a fact, that at the last eight or ten vieelings of the Board
of Jastices, there were never more than three of them present,
The Hon. Mr. Parers said, that after having heard the exeul-
patory explanation of the hon Mr. Swabey, he would beg teave
to withdraw his motion. He hoped that as the experience of the
Justices iucreased, beneficial eflects would result froin it; and
that they would see the necessity of mending both their own
ways and ours too =Huwever, before he sat down, he would just
make one observation: He was in the habit of travelling over
nearly the whole Island ; and nou where did he travel over such
excellent roads as in the Bedeque and Malpeque settlements.
He would recommend our Justices to improve their own syste
of road-making by a reference to that of the Commissioners in
those quariers. an B 2

His Honor the Presivenr thought they might very easily so
far improve their system, as to avoid leaving pi’s at the corners
of the streets for the lodgment of water and the entrapping of
unwary passengers.

The Hon. Mr. Youne begged leave to ask ithe hon. Mr.
Swabey, whether he thought the Justices had done their duty Jasi
year. ; \
The Hon. Mr. Swaney said, what they had done was before
the eyes of the public, and the public must be their judges.

The Hon. Mr. Youne. Then. asthe hon. Mr. Swabey declined
answering his question, he-would answer it-himself: they had
not done their duty. . ‘

The Hon. Mr Swaney thought he might appeal to the Hon
Mr. Palmer, one of the Representatives of Charlottetown, whom
he saw at the bar, to bear witness that his constituents generally
were satisfied, with what the Justices had dowe upon the streets
and roads. ‘ 7

The Hon Mr. Youne said it was at least to be hoped they
would do better after the roasting which they had just received

The Hon Mr. Brecken wished the manage nent of the roads
could be left to the superintendance of the three hon. and learned
gentleman, who had been so Joud in their censure of the Justices;
they would perhaps svon discover that it was no agreeable. or
sinecure office to be cailed upon to make gvod roads or keep them
in proper repair without adequate means.

The Hon. Mr. Youne said he had been trapped into the motion
which he had made by the hon. Mr Peters; and he would, there-
fore, beg leave io Withdraw it
The Hon. Mr. Perers repelled the imputation; he had merely
suggested that it would be well if, by some inears or other. the
annual amuunt to be expended upon the roads could be in-
creased. £
The Hon. Mr. Youne said the great fault in the Bil! was, that
it made the poor pay as much as the rich; fora common track:
man paid as much as the hon. the Solicitur General.

The Hon. Mr. Swasey referred to the character of the Statute
Labour Bill, which was befure this Hoase, when he was a mem-
ber of the Legislative Council before: he then Introduced some
amendments, which were unanimously agreed to by their honors,
but which were afterwards rejecied by the other House He had

The hon. Mr. Brecken thought that such of their honors as
had so unmercifully censured the Justices for the bad state of the
roads, had lost sight of the great and continaal traffic upon the
roads immediately leading into Charloueiown. The hon. Mr
Young was one of those who made vo litile use of the streets and
roads, and he seemed to forget that his frequent appearance
thereon, at one time with a cne-hurse carriage, at another with
a carriage and pair, at a third. with a carriage and three horses
a breast, one of them representi:.g a Unicorn, and anon with no
less than four in hand, must make consideiable havoc with our
public ways. Seriously, however, the sum annually raised fur
the repairing. of the streets and roads ander the superintendence
ot the Jusuces was quite inadequate to ihe object. and, until the
means at iheir command should be adequately increased, he was
afraid they would never be able to give entire satisfaction. The
bon Mr. B ecken, in conclasion, said he wished to take that op-
portunity of partly econtracicting a false report, respecting the
Justices, which might otherwise, perhaps. go forth to the public
unrefuted. He alluded to the statement made by the hon Mr
Young. who said that he had beard that at the last eight or ten
meetings of the Justices, pot above three of them had been pre-
sent at onetime. There had been three official meetings ot the
Justices from May, up tothe present time; the first of these
meetings, he (Mr. Brecken) did not attend. but ali the other Justi-
ces were present; at the second meeting. Col. Lane was the only
absentee, he was at the time in the country on Militia duty ; the
third meeting was atiended by all the Justices. Er

The hon. Mr, Swanzey suggesied the propriety of requiring
every househoider to make a proper returo of all petsons resi-
dent in his house, liadle to road assessment.

The Hon. Mr. Rice explained that alihongh the Road Assess:
ment, under the Statute Labour Act of last session, was supposed
‘o bear very heavily upon every poor inan having a horse and
cat, and that all such, at first, loudly complained of the enact.
ment, yet when, within the Royalty of Charlottetown, such
persons were employed upon the roads by the Justices, at 4s.a
lay per man, and 9s. a day fora man with a horse and cart, they
were perfectly reconciled to it. When the Justices began to em
ploy men apon the roads at these rates, the men who were em-
peloyed by him, (the hon Mr. Rice) by theday at 2s., speedily
deserted bis employ for the higher wages given on the roads. i
he House resumed, and the Bill was repcrted agreed to in
| Committee without any amendments. ?

The Hon Mr M-Donatp begged leave to give his reasons for
voting against the Bill. Although the Road Assessment was
too high, as it affected the poorer Classes of the people. yet the
leaving of itso low left the country without adequate means, tor
the proper construction and repans of Roads and Bridges. The
state of the roads immediately leading ito Charlottetown was
disgraceful, not only to Charlottetown, but to the Legislature
iself; and some fair aud equitable means ought to be devised.
for the improving of thera. In what a wretched condition were
j they last auramnu! and what would be their state in the Spring,
and the ensuing Fall. before the Legisia‘ure would be again in
Session! they might almost look to see them completely im passa-
ble. Was it nor admitied on every hand that the means at the dis-
posal of the Commissioners .were inadequate? and was i not
then the daty of the Legislature to increase those means 2

The report having been received 3 On motion. the Bill was
read a third time, and passed on-the following division :

Contents—Mr_ President. Mr. Brecken, Mr. Macnutt, Mr.
Solicito: General, Mr, Young, Mr. Irving. :

The Hon. Mr Swaney then entered the fo!lowing
