votlog for the resolution before the House. I'ne debi of the provitce isnow between $560,090 and $608,000. It was ouly last year tLoat ,the Goverunent ecid $18,000 worh of debentures for the Prirce of Waies College. But they only used $8000 of thisaum forthe parposes for waich it was voted aud appropriated the other $10,- 000 for other services. The contract for th new college 18 $28,500, and’ they must borow another $10,000. Ihe Government is alo commited tothe building of the annex for the asylum. They borrowed $75,000,part of which was tor this purpost; but the muney has been epent and not one ttone of the annex has beea placed in position. The conclusion must therefore force itself upon us that the fiuances of the province are in & deplorable condition; and

that bowever auxious all may be for the bridge, care shouid be taken in forcing

buraeus upon the people that bear. The passing of tunis resolution means that in two years time the debt would be one mill’on dollars. The Land cilive receipts are aecreasing every year, List year, al‘hough the public works were siarved there wasa deficit ofover Are the farmers, who pay the principle Share of the tax P, prepared to ? rigat for those who are about (O receive lucrative appoint- ments tO hang ibis millstone of debi about tue necks of the people.

Tnis expenditure would be as large if the Rocky Point boat alone docked there. The entire cost of the flats of Prince Street wharf are charged to the Southport ferry, avd no value is credited

to the steamer Hillsborough. Ihis steamer’

Yours truly,

was the first year that the Goverrment ren the ferry 02 its Ova responsibility Toe Attorney-CGenera! did not credit one dollar of this $4,292 in his statement. The people jist pry the d:ff-rence between the receipts ana exp-nduure, and itis as a people that we are considering this matter, Proceeding Mr. Shaw eubmwitted figures for the eubseq rent years as follows :—

Frum 1833 to 1897 the total] «xpenditure, over and above receipts was $84,774 15. lhe average of said amount tor 15 year- is every Cent that can be eaved. All other expenses In connection with the ferry would continue. Besides the Hill.borough would be on our bands. This steamer cost $17,800, but the Attorney. Gereral evidently considers her worthless as ae dots not regard ber as an asset. This he (Mr. Shaw) regarded asa sad commentary upon the party which built her three or four veare ago. [t is abaclutely necessary that the bo lers of the ferry steamers be inspect: d. Under Liberale Conservative rule these boilers were in« spectcd, but when the Peters Governmeui came in the Lead+r refused te allow them to be examined claiming that they were ip the harbor serviee aod were therefore noi subject to inspection. Those boil ra may now be in a bad st te and dire calamity may at any (ime ov rtake the passengers, —

At the evening sesrion Mr. Shaw re- sumed his speech. Allowing $800 for th: depreciation in the value of the Hillsbor ough, the average annual cost of the ferry, so far as works to be abandoned by the construction of a bridge is concerned would be $4511.60, He believed that a company conld be formed within twenty- four bours to run the ferry properly with- out one cent of su'sidy. But what are our oblivations if w+ carry out the resolu tion? Ifthe bridge is bailt according w the resolution the province will pay $12,006 a year, as interest at 3 per cent on $400,000. The Government would be bound to keep their portion
