SPEECH FBOMZ THE TIIBONE

Following is the full text of the Speech from the Throne:

"Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island:

"In the name of Her Meiuty Queen .Eil1.abeth the Second, I greet and welcome you to this third session of the Forty-seventh General Assembly. May your de- liberation: and discussions result in legislation which will benefit not only our own Province but the whole nation of which we are proud to form a part. "More than a year has passed since our Liege Lady Queen Eliz- abeth escended the Throne. Al: your last Session you presumed to approach Her Majesty with an expression of devoted attachment in Her Person and Throne and to predict that under Her gracious rule the welfare and happiness of Her subjects would be fully main- tained. The intervening months have wholly justified your predic- tion. The ties which bind Can- ads to the Throne and Common- wealth - have been steadily strengthened by the gracious guidance and devotion to duty of our Sovereign Lady. We and all Her people look forward with pleasure and happiness to the day. near at hand. when at Her Cor- onation she will again dedicate her talents and her life itself to the service of her subjects. On that day. which has been pro- claimed a day of general thanks- giving and rejoicing, our Island people will as well join fervently in the prayer-"God Save the Queen - Long may she reign". It is our hope that a goodly num- her of our citizens will be able to journey to England next June to observe personally the cere- monies connected with Her Maj- esty's Investiture.

"Since the last regular session we have been called on to mourn the passing of two former mem- bers oi the Legislature. Mr. Rod- erlck McLellan was born at St. George's eighty-seven years ago and was I member of the Gen- eral Assembly from 1915 to 1919. Mr. Harry A. Darby. father of our present Attorney-General, repre- sented the Third District of Prince County as Councillor from 1927 to 1931 and also reached the ad- vanced age of eighty-seven years. Both of these respected citizens served their communities and con- stituents with honour and ability. "The past year brought to Prince Edward Island. as usual. a number of distaingulshed visitors from various parts of the world. In August, His Excellency the Governor General of Canada paid his first official visit, although he was no stranger to,the Prov- ince. His kindly personality and appreciation of our hospitality have endeared him to all our people. During the summer we were honoured by brief visits from Mr. Stanley Woodward. American Ambassador to Canada, and Mrs. Woodward, and from Lord Lnvati, Head of the Clan Fraser. who attended the Annual Scottish Gathering at Montague. In September. forty-five delegates to the Commonwealth Parliament- ary Conference at Ottawa spent a full day In the Province. Rep- resenting widely scattered units of the Commonwealth, including the Gold Coast, Rhodesia, South Africa, Pakistan. India. Ceylon. Australia, New Zeaiand and the American Colonies. these members of our larger family were shown a cross section of our Island com-

munity. enjoyed our scenery and our hospitality and through an exchange of ideas undoubtedly

left with a fuller understanding of our interests, our position and our problems.

lturpl Elect. lfication

"Rural Electrification has not proceeded as rapidly as my Gov- ernment would have wished. Fol- lowing hearings by the Public Utilities Commission a new rate base was established and higher rates came into effect. This pro- gram was adopted on the distinct understanding that extension of rural electric facilities would rap- idly and continuously proceed. The lack of ability to raise funds for adequate expansion by private enterprise has been pleaded in explanation. My Government has concluded that, inasmuch as tho immedlate expansion of rural electrical facilities is imperative, some form of Governmental inter- vcnilon or'nssisiance must, be provided. Estimates will be sub- milied for your approval for a sum sufficient to promote such expansion and legislation propos- ed to facilitate any possible action the Government decides on.

"The Legislative Committee on Transportation heard evidence and briefs submitted to it at Public Meetings in the three Counties. and will submit its reports and findings to you. You will also receive a Report of your Select Standing Committee an Electoral Reform.

"Despite an extensive safety program actively pursued by my Government through the medium of press and radio. highway fatalities were alarmingly numer- ous during the past year. Legis- lation will be presented for your approval requiring an applicant for a driver's license to pass more stringent tests before his application is granted. Frequent periodic checking of brakes. lights anti other vehicle equip- rnent will be proceeded with. Somewhat. larger eatimlfse for. in- creased police traffic patrols will be submitted for your consider- ation, as well as legislation en- abling munlclpaliiiea and incorp- orated viiiages to fix speed lim- its within their respective bound- aries.

"It is appropriate to note that for a full century our Province has enjoyed the- privileges of free education. A Bill was passed in 1852, knownlas "The Free Educa- tion Act". which is the basis of the present school system. The

questions of responsible govern- ment. landlordism and tenantry,

universal suffrage and free pub- llc schools gave the political

giants of those days, such as Hon- ourable George Coles and Honour- able Edward Whalen. a heavy task which has greatly benefited for the past one hundred years. Enrollment in schools, in was 21.550 and is 13.791; penditure for

jectionable locations.

Dragger Operations

''In the development of the off- shore fisheries, my Government has assisted in the construction of four draggers of the sixty-foot class, and three of the fifty-foot shallow draft class as well as the conversion of another ship. The initial success of this develop- ment indlcates the advisability of assisting in the construction of more sixty-foot draggcrs this year. "The Department of Mines and

Technical Surveys of the Federal

Government will begin a complete geological survey of Prince Ed- ward Island, beginning about May first of this year. The survey is expected to cover a perglod of three years.

"A Public inquiry has been in- stituted by my Government into the Parkdale Water Supply; Pub- lic Hearings have been conducted thereunder and it is anticipated that the Report of the Commis- sioner on this Inquiry will be re- ceived in ample time for your consideration.

''In 1873 Victoria Park was given to the City of Charlottetown in trust for the citizens of the Prov- ince. for use as a Park and Pleas- ure Ground. It was provided at that time that no circus. show, or exhibition of any kind was to be permitted in the Park. Legislation will be submitted for your consid- eration whereby Memorial Field in Victoria Park may be set aside for athletic games. and an admission

fee charged. "The improvement "work to the furniture in the Confederation

Chamber was inspired by Mr. V. 3. King of Woodstock. Ontario. Mr. King suggested that the furniture be put in first class condition and that he would be glad to pay the full cost of the restoration work un- less others also wish to share in the privilege of preserving the visual bonds of our Canadian heritage.

Tax Agreement

"During the year. pursuant to authority granted by you at the last session of the Legislature, my Povernment entered into a new Tax Rental Agreement, with the Lvovernment of Canada. By its terms certain taxation fields were rented for the fiscal years 1052- "”? Irv-lusive. subject to payment of certain basic and accelerated ...i...is.
