for this Bill had yet arrived.

Y } be passed when all the cases before th Commissioners’ Court were adjudicated

e

upon. “Hon. Mr. Strong said that to bring | estates before the Commissioner’s Court, | where the eXpense Was so great, whe n they could be purchased voluntarily,was simply | throwing away money. The Ramsay | estate was in the market and why force it before the Commissioners’ Court at an expense of 25 per cent.,when it was offered at a price which the Government were willing to give. No Government would, iu the face of public opinion, give a price which the tenants were not willing to pay. ile was of opinion that their honors would incur the displeasure of many persons if they would reject such a reasonable mea— sure. When estates would be forced into Court, the proprietors would stand upon their dignity, and all expenses would have to be paid by the Government. If ‘their henors would divest their minds of preju- dice, from which there might once have been cause, but which cause had passed away, he was satisfied that they would not oppose the bill. He did not see any use in trying to make the estates seli—sustain- ing, and keep the Land Office open year alter yeur.

Hon. Mr. Richards believed that, with a few exceptions, the tenants consider the lands sold at fair prices. The sooner the question was settled, and the Land Office closed up, the better. He was of opinion that the Government should have power to purchase those small estates, for by pur- chasing voluntarily great expense would be saved to the country. Of course, the the Government would be guided by the prices the tenants would be willing to pay, and as they had precedents to go by they could not go far astray. Many tenants were anxious to purchase.

Hon. Mr. Reid had opposed a similar Bill at a former session, because he thought it would give too much power to the Gov~ ernment, but as the larger estates had been removed out of the way he thoucht it would now be advisable to pass the Bill. He believed they could purchase small estates at about the same price as would

be awarded for them by the Commission- ers, and the expense would be saved.

Hon. Mr. Laird remarked that last year he asked if any estates were in the offer of the Government, and the answer was that there were not; this year the only one mentioned was the Ramsay estate. He was not acquainted with it, but if he was not mistaken, 7s, 6d. an acre was more than it was worth. Last year he (Mr. Laird) contended that the time for 4 measure of this time had not arrived, but he (Mr. Strong) was of a different opinion. Now he (Mr. Strong) admitted that th. :e were reasons for opposing the Bill last year,but none this year. He considered that the principle of the Bill was unsound, and it | was dangerous policy to pass it. This House had a duty to perform as guardians of the publie interests. The purchase of Lot 19 showed the folly of giving the Government power to purchase land. The | Commissioners would not award such a price for it now. They should be careful in allowing any influence to be brought to bear upon the winds of the Commissioners. The Commissioners should bear the re- sponsibility of their awards, but they might justify a high award by saying “ the Government, who have the sympathy ot the people, have given so and so.”

Hon. Mr. Richards did not know what price the Messrs. Ramsay asked for their estate, but believed the land was good.

Hon. Mr. Balderston said some of their honors were very much afraid that the Government would pay too high a price for land, but they certainly would not go beyond the awards given by the Commis- sioners, He believed the awards of the Commissioners were, in nearly every case based upon a provision of the Act which they were to take into consideration the last six years’ rental. Ifthe Government would take the same course, they would not go far astray. He believed the mistake the Commissioners made was, that they took the gross rental instead of the net rental. He was in favor of the principle of the Bill, and would vote against the amendment.

The qustion was then put on the amend- ment, that the Bill be referred to Com- mittee this day three months, and the house divided :—

Contents—Hon. Messrs. Laird, McGill, Dodd, Muna, and MeDonald.—5.

Non-Contents—Hon. Messrs.Strong, Bal- derston, Reid, McEwen and Richards.—5.

So the names were equal, and the Pre- sident voting with the non contents, the amendment was lost. The original mo- tion passed in the affirmative, and the Bill was referred to Committee.

Hon. Mr. Munn took the Chair.

Hon. Mr. Dodd observed that the Com, missioners had sat under the Compulsory bill and a large amount of expense had been iveurred; certain estates had been valued, but few of them had yet been set- tled. A portioh of the money had been brought to the Island to pay the pro- prietors, but they refused to accept it upon the ground that the Dominion notes were not legal tender, Other objec.ions were also raised, and it did not appear that the settlement of the question was much further advanced than it was this this time last year. He did not see that

there was any urgent necessity for passing this bili at present. it would be time enough to pass it when the estates before the Commissioners Court were adjudi- cated upon aud disposed of- There should be some means adopted for arriving at the value of those small estates. When the larger estates would be paid for, the Gov- ernment would know better what amount of money they would likely have left to purchase smal] estates, and he had no doubt but they could be purchased as cheaply next year as now.

Hon. Mr. McDonald did not under- rtand why the Government were in such haste to get the money into their hands. Were they afraid it would be all used before they would get possession of it, or were they afraid it would rot in Ottawa ? It appeared to him that there must be something in view besides the interest of the tenants. If the money were allowed to be squandered, freeholders, as well as tenants, would have to be taxed. For-

merly,- whenever there was a chance, speculators stepped in, and the Govern- ment had to purchase from them at high o— The same thing would probably done aguin, and the taxpayers would

a small quantity of land in the hands of the proprietors, and he believed the Gov- ernment should have power to purchase it, but they should have tabled the offers if they had any.

lion. Mr. Strong remarked that his honor from New Perth said the Govern meat were anxious to get possession of the $800,000, but he wes sorry to say there was only asmall portion of it left. There was no other fund to use in purchasing land, and the Government could not issue debentures as under the former land Pur- chase Act. That wes the reason the $800,000 was mentioned in the clause be- fore them. His honor knew something about the Geveroment and was afraid to trust them with the $800,000 or any po- sition of it; but when he voted for the Land Purchase Act of 1875 he did not know in whose hands he was placing the money. About $466,000 had been drawn and therefore, the chances for the Gov» ernment to make money out of it were very much lessened. As to the Govern- ment tabling offers of land the first thing was for them to be in position to purchase and then to ascertain the value of the land and the price the tenants would be willing to pay. As to being self-sustaining, he was of opinion that they should be, but the Government had purchased the land, and it would not do for them to become, and continue to be, proprietors. There- ‘ore, of the two evils they would have to choose the least. For that reason he would endorse the sentiment of his honor from Wiltshire (Mr. Balderston.)

The House was then resumed and pro- gress was reported.

A bill respecting the management and sale of certain lands was brought up from the House of Assembly by Hon. Mr. Sullivan and read the first time.

LAW SOCIETY.

A bill to incorporate a Law Society was again referred to a committee.

Hon. Mr. Munn moved that a clause empowering the Government to appropri- ate a room in the new Law Courts build- ing forthe use of the society be struck out.

Hon. Mr. Laird did not see any objec- No man would be bound to be a member of the society, The clause before them authorized the Government to grant them a room, but did not require it to do so.

Hon. Mr. Richards would not vote for Mr. Munn’s motion.

Hon. Mr Dodd understood that there was a room iu the building for the law- yers, and supposed they wanted to have it more private. It was right that they should have a room in which to consult clients and witnesses.

Hon. Mr. Balderston had objected to the clause, but upon further considera- tion he believed it would be for the in-

| terest of the public to let the society have

a room. They would probably have a library in it. Of course the Government would not allow them any room required

| tor the public service.

Hon. M. McDonald did not consider that the lawyers had any right to such a privilege. Not many days ago they were told that the clerk of the County Court in Charlottetown had to pay for an office for himself, and he had a better right to a room in the building than the lawyers had. Were they so poor that they must come begging the Government to give them a room? In fact he did not see that the bill was required.

Hon. the President understood that the object was to have a library. A library in close proximity to the court room would be an advantage to the judges, the lawyers, and the country at large.

The bill was reported from committee agreed to without amendment, and it was then read the third time aod passed.

PURCHASE OF LAND.

A bill to empower the Government to purchase lands held by proprietors was again referred to committee and reported agreed to. It was then read the third time and passed.

APPROPRIATION BILL.

The Approbriation Bill was read the second time, and, on moving that it be referred to committee.

Hon. Mr. Strong said the expenditure for the past year was about $395,000, or $94,000 more than the ordinary revenue ; but when the extraordinary items for the purchase of steamboats, for Law Courts Buildings in Charlottetown and Summer- side, Railway damages, &c., were deduct- ed, it would be seen that the expendi- ture was $2845 less than the ordinary revenue. He was sorry to say that our revenue was becoming less from the cir- cumstance that our railway was paid for, and the interest we had received on the difference of indebtedness per head had ceased. We were still receiving interest at five per cent on the part of the $800,- 000 not drawn. On the part drawn we had lost interest to the amount of about $25,000. The revenue for the ensuing year would not be more than $249,000, or $250,000, and the appropriations were made with that amount of revenue in view. The Government were desirous of keeping the expenditure within the ordinary income; but the expenses for wharfs, bridges, education, Xc., were in- creasing every year, and he saw the pro- spect of direct taxation before us at no dis- tant day. He believed no province of the Dominion expended so large a proportion of its revenue for education. This was creditable to the province, but the system we were pursuing would have to be changed or improved. It was a question which was exercising the public mind, and all were agreed that our educational institutions were in a very unsatisfactory condition, and the salaries of teachers much below what they should be. This implied increased expenditure in the future, and. it was his opinion that the day was not far distant when the Island would have to be divided into munici- palities, each having charge of its own educational matters. The sum appro- priated for education was not expended in the most equitable manner. In Ontario a large proportion of the money for edu- cation was raised by the people, and the Government subsidized the amount. The various items would come up for con- sideration as the bill was read in Com-

mittee.

He believed a majority were in favor of abolishing this House on the ground that we had too much Government, but it appeared that the policy of the Government was to establish 2@ or 30 more Governments, It would be like a coach with seven wheels, and would take ail the money to support the machinery He thought the two Houses were capable of legislating for the country without any more Governments,

Hon. Mr. MeGill would like to know how the $466,000 drawn from Canada had been disposed of, as he understood that only one or two small estates had been paid for.

Hon. Mr. Strong replied that awards had been given tothat amount, and according lo the provisions of the Act the Government were obliged to have the money in readiness, but there was delay ia paying it for reasons their honors were aware of. A large proportion ofthe money was distributed amongst the | banks, and the Government were receiving interest on it al tive per cent.

House in Committeo—Hon, Mr. Balderston in the chair,

JAILKEEPERS,

Hon Mr. McDonald observed the sum of $1,400 was appropriated for the salaries of jailors, and the keeper of King’s County jail only received $200. This was unfair.

Hon. Mr. Richards said the jail keeper at St. Eleanor’s was a very eflicient officer. $200 wasentirely two small a salary for him

Hon. Mr. Reid aid not understand why the jailkeeper in Prince County should receive only one-fourth as much as the keeper of (Jueen’s County jail. Removing the jail to Summerside would increase his duty, and if the Government required an efficient oflicer they would have to pay a higher salary.

Hon. Mr. Dodd said a salary of $200 would be sufficient if there were no prisoners, but he was sorry to say that the jail in Char, lottetown was too well filled, and the jailor Was an overworked man, Jt appeared to him that the Government did not increase salaries of men who really required and de- served increase.

BREAKWATER— WOOD ISLANDS.

Hion. Mr. McGill observed that last year when the Appropriation Bill was before this House, he (Mr. McGill) asked the Leader of the Government (Mr. Strong) if anything would be done for Wood Island Breakewater, and his honor promised that it would be at- tended to. If be had made such a promise to him in a private business transaction he wouid have brought him into a court of law. That important work was wholly disregarded, and ajso the wharf upon the other side,the wharf at Little Sands, and the wharf at Rocky Point. Until the wharf at the latter place was extended the ferry boat would be al- most useless. Then he wanted $2000 to macadamize the road in Charlottetown lead- ing to the Railway: station.” It was unfair for the people of Charlottetown to have to keep that road in repair for the convenience of tne public at large.

Hon. Mr. Munn understood the Leader of the Government to say last session, when the Appropriation Bill was Lefore the House, that the Victoria Breakwater would be ats tended to, but nothing had been done, There was no shipping place within fifleen miles of Wood Islands, and the people in the southern part of Queen’s County were very disadvantageously situated in that respect. Large grants were given for improvements in other parts of the Island. Summrside was receiving about $17,000 this year, and a pre- sent ofa piece of land worth $12,000; but the Board of Works had wholly neglected Belfast District. He was glad thatthe Board was to be abolished,for 1t appeared that they expenddd whatever amount they thought proper, and in whatever place suited them- selves. His colleague (Mr. McGill) had only asked for what was reasonable, and he hoped the Government would see the pro- priety of granting it.

Hon. Mr. Dodd could testify to the correct- ness of the statement made with regard to Rocky Point Wharf. When the tide was low passengers and freight had to be land- ed in a little flat-bottomed boat. Then, the street in Charlottetown leacing to the Rail- way Station was in a disgraceful condition. There was so much traffic upoa it that nothing would do but macadamization, which would cost a large sum. The City Government could not bear the expense, and it should be borne by eith r the Local or Dominion Government,

Hon. Mr. Balderston understood that the suggestion of his honor (Mr. McGill), was to reduce the amount placed at the disposal of the Board of Works from $30,000 to $24,009 and that $2,000 be given to the cily of Coar- lottetown to improve the streets, $2,000 to to Victoria Breakwater, $i,009 to Rocky Point Wharf, and $1,000 to the wharf at Little Sands. It might be competent for this House to make the suggestion, but he feared that the result would not be satisfactory,

Hon. Mr. Strong referred to the serious charge made against him by his honor from Belfast (Mr. McGill.) It was dangerous to have auy coversation with his honof about such matters. All he [Mr. Strong] had said was that he was will.ng as an individual, to grant what his honor required for Wood Island Breakwaver—that he would recommend and vote for it, but how was he to influence eight men? It was impossible for him to grant what the Government were not willing to grant. The repair of Victoria Breakwater was going on, and he thought his honor should be satistied. It would prob- ly be extended when the Dominion Govern- ment would give some security—noi a mere promise—that they would bear the expense. Let them fulfil their promises in other mat- ters. The Local Government would net be drawn into the expenditure of money upon the promise of one member of that Govern- ment. With reference to the Local Govern~ ment appropriating money to macadamize the streeets of Charlottetown,whe cver heard of such a thing? People who visited the cily were a source of revenue to it. He hoped the citizens would use the privilege recently given them of taxing thmselves for the improvement of their streets,

Hon. Mr. McGill did not understand his honor who haj just spoken with respect to the promises of the Dominion Government. What right had the people of Belfast to be taxed to provide a Fark for Summerside? The people of Caarlottetown had no right to be taxed to make a road required by the whole country. Beliast district should re- ceive at least $12,000 or $14,000. Last year the Government refused to grant anything for Victoria Breakwater on the ground that it was a Dominion work.

lion. Mr. Munn understood his honor to say thatthe Government would attend to Victoria Breakwater when the Dominion Government would give a guarantee that they would do part of the work. It was the duty of the Local Government to do their own work and let the Dominion Government do theirs.

Hon. Mr. Strong believed the Dominion Government should do the whole of the work. They were building and repairing wharts in rivers in other places. Sir John A. Mac- Donald, when in oflice, stated verbaily to the last delegationio Ottawa, that wharfs and breakewaters would be attended to, That was understood to be part of the “Better Terms.” He believed that if we had efficient representatives in the Dominion Parliament the Vicioria Breakewater, and other public works, would be attended to.

Hon. Mr. Munn said that, in view of his honor’s statements, he (Mr. Munn) consider: ed the Local Government very remiss in their duty in not insisting upon the Dominion Government fulfilling their promises.

Hon. Mr. McEwen regretted that some, at least, of the items named by his honor from Belfast (Mr. McGill) were not in the Bill. The people of West River were badly treated. It was very remarkable that some parts of the country received more for public werks than they required while other parts were wholly neglected. With reference to the street in Charlottetown referred to, he was of opinion that something should be contributed from the public funds for its improvement. He agreed with his honor who spoke last that, if it was the duty of the Dominion Govern- ment to build our wharfs and breakewaters, the Local Government s2ould insist upon them doing it. It might take away the patronage of the Board of Works and per- haps that was the reason the matter had not been attended to.

Hon. Mr. Laird was sensible of the claims of Belfast district upon the Government, as the people derived very little advantage from

suggestion could be carried,

lle was also of opinion that the Governmen: should cons tribute something towards the :mprovement of the streets near the railwt depot. No other equal number of people ¢ ntributed as much to the revenue as the pec; le of Char- lottetown did, and,therefore,th y had strong laims upon the Government, Tle lvoked upon the principle of punishi g a district Parliament

bound to extend equal justice to all. course Was taken by one Government the next would retaliate. If Belfast district did not get a branch railway it should receive some equivalent for its share of the expense of the main line.
