A bill entitled “ The Official Oath: Act. 1876.”’ was read the third time and p» Sse d, and j bill to « hange the place in

Charlottetown for holding the Sheriff's Court for purposes of election was passed t] h the

several stayes,

LAND IN SUMMERSIDE.

\ hi to vest in the town of Summers |

the land and pre mises therein men- is read the second time and on

tioned, w that it be referred to committee | Hon. Mr. Strong said it was well known t when the railway was being construct

ertain piece of | ind was purchased

lenot in Summerside, and it was

i

erwards considered advisable to remove station nearer the :water. The piece land first purchased had remained in the hands of the Government, and the citizens had made application to have it | ; p! i for a park or public square, for nitary and other purposes, He thought no arguments were required to show the propriety of acceding the request of the citizens, for they had purchased all the land, even the streets, A plot of ground h id been purchased for a square, but it had been taken for county purposes by erecting a court house and jail upon it. Their honors would readily admit that a public square was necessary for the com. fort and health of citizens, and now was the time to procure land for that purpose. ‘The Government had done much for Charlottetown and Georgetown, but Sum-

merside was not originally intended for the County town, though it has become such, and the citizens were now looking for the last time for some assistance from the {Government, for it had recently be~ come an incorporated town. He was glad to see that there wasa disposition to do justice to the citizens. The square was to be carefully guarded ,no buildiugs,shows, circuses, Xc., were to be allowed upon it. It was a valuable gift as the original cost of the piece of land was .about $12,000, and no doubt the citizens would ever be crateful for it. Perhaps his honor the President would object, but Georgetown was onlyatownin name. If it would show equal ents rprise with Summerside there was no doubt but the Government would be willing to encourage that town also, but it had a large common and a market place more remarkable for stumps than anything else.

Hon. Mr. Laird agreed with all his honor’s remarks except that it was the last time Summerside would look for any- thing from the Government. He thought his honor must have a presentment that the Government would not be long in power, and he wished to limit their suc- Charlottetewn was much older; the Government had done much for it,and it appeared that the time for the last gift had notarrived. This year the Govern- ment had grauted Charlottetown almost a whole farm. As long as the country prospered and the town was in a thriving condition,there would be wants, and while this was a handsome gift which would be appreciated by the citizens, he yet looked upon it as ouly an instalment of what was due to Summerside.

How. Mr. Balderston said that $12,000 was a pretty large instalment, and he did wonder that his honor (Mr. Strong) tried to disarm opposition by saying that Sum- merside would not ask for any more, He hoped the Government did not intend to purchase the people of Summerside for political purposes. He hoped the people of Charlottetown would not be asking for an equivalent in the shape ofa grant to beautify and adorn their park. Though it was alsoa valuable gift to Charlette- town, yet the people had not been called upon to pay the money for it. As for Georgetown, he was disposed to help the weak, and would support a grant of money to assist the people there in mak- ing public improvements.

Hon. Mr. Dodd was willing to support the bill, believing that the people and re- presentatives of any town kuew better what they required than the people resid- ing at a distance did. He was glad that the people of Summerside got around the Government so soon, and had such a good prospect of getting a very expensive park. Charlottetown was about a century old, and had long been trying to get a piece ot land for a park, but the Govern- ment were very penurious, even with what cost them nothing.

Hon. Mr. McDonald thought the bill was asking for a little too much, but he supposed it would be very little use for ie members from King’s County to op- se it, for the members from (ueen’s und Prince Counties appeared to help each other. His honor the Leader of the Goy- erpmen was foad of having a slap at Georgetown, but if he would go and see it, he would not find it a jumbied up place like Summerside. In Summerside the railway site cost the Government an enormous sum, but in Georgetown it cost nothing,

Hon. Mr. Munn remarked that Sum- merside ought to thrive, forit was costing the Government large sums. There was « golden shipyard there, and he supposed there was to be a golden park, George- town was so well laid off that it did not require to have a park purchased at the expense of the Government; but in Sum- merside it appeared that they first sold the land and then sold the streets. It was not surprising that land was so dear, for it must be very scarce.

House in Committee—Hon. Mr. Ewen in the chair.

Hon. the President remarked that the centleman who said the piece of land re ferred to mast have had a good deal of foresight ; but this costly plot of ground was now to be given to that thriving place —Summersiee, at the expense of the people of the whole Island. He would not oppose giving it to them, but other places should have equal advantage. When the representatives of Georgetown applied for any grant they were told that it was a finished town, but Summerside was not finished yet, and it was to be built, in part, at the expense of the country at large. He considered that Georgetown should have some equivalent. The want of a steam ferry boat had long been felt and was retarding the prosperity of that town. A few yearsago the Legislature gave a grant and subsidy of £200 for a ferry boat, but when it was built Char- lottetown got the benefit of it. He hoped that when they were giving such a large yrant to Summerside the claims of George- town would be overlooked.

Hon. Mr. Dodd thought it was rather too stringent to prevent exhibitions of any kind from being held upon the square in Summerside. It was not likely that it would be fenced and made a park of for some time to come,

Hon. Mr. Balderston approved of the clause. Exhibitions would destroy the place for the purpose for which it was in- tended.

Hon. Mr. MeGill denied that there was any combination upon the part of repre- sentatives of Prince and Queen’s Counties as had been said. He would be as willing to support a grant for King’s County as for Prince County.

The bill was reported from Committee agreed to.

Adjourned until four o’cloek, p. m.

AFTERNOON SESSION. GOVERNMENT HOUSE FARM,

A bill to vest a certain portion of Goy- ernment [louse farm in the city of Chars Jottetown, was brought up from the House of Assembly by Hon. Mr. Brecken, read the first time, and referred to a committze of the whole House, Hon, Mr. Munn in the chair.

Hlon. Mr. Dodd said a similar bill was rejected by this House last session, be- cause, as the lines were proposed to be| rua, it would not give the citizens all they |

but he was glad to find that |

should have ; | |

‘the Hlouse of Assembly had now granted what the Council had contended for. He was very gladthat the House of Assemb- |

ily had “seen the error of their ways, and |

| had now come to a more just conclusion. | It would be a great boon to the citizens,

‘and he hoped they would be in a position

to make it into a nice park.

| Hon. Mr. Walker also expressed his

satisfaction that the House of Assembly

had not agreed to what the Council con- tended for last year,

Hon. Mr. Laird remarked that Exhibi- tions, &e., were to be exeluded from this park as well as the one in Summerside. He presumed, however, that it was not

the intention of the promoters of the bill

to prevent the fair ladies of Charlottetown from showing themselves. Old Kentucky was famed for fast horses and fair ladies, and when the progeny of the recently | imported Kentucky horses would become

numerous, as of course they wculd, there | would be a fine opportunity of driving

‘around the shore, and showing the fleet-

i ness of the horses and the beauty of the ladies. Perhaps this was the reason why

the bill was before them in its present

‘shape. He would congratulate the citi- zens upon what they were gaining by

| waiting twelve months,

Hon. Mr. Strong did not know what to say about exhibiting the fair ladies along with the fast horses, but perhaps the im- portation of Kentucky horses had some effect upon the passing of the bill. He understood that no horses were as fashion- able as the yellow Kentucky horses with white feet. He would congratulate the citizens upon being $0 highly favored,

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

CITY OF CHARLOTTETOWN.

The House resolved itself into a Com- mittee of the whole for the further con- sideration of a bill to amend an act for the Incorporation of the City of Charlotte- town.

Hon. Mr. Dodd was still unable to see the propriety of passing this bill without the amendment preposed by this House, He therefore moved that the amendment be adhered to.

Hon. Mr. Laird was of opinion that the Corporation should have power to raise re- venue from whatever source they thought proper, but any bye-law to levy taxes should require the assent of the Lieut. Governor in Council, so that there would be time for the people to petition. It did appear strange that 600 citizens should petition against the passing of this bill. It was an admission upon the part of the petitioners that the people of Charlotte- town were not fit to govern themselves. This was a humilating acknowledgement from a city which had been the seat of Government for over a centuary. Half the members of the City Council were elected every year, and five, with the Mayor, could control the City bye-laws, It was, therefore, presumptous for the Legislature to lay down rules for them. They should be able to do without leading strings, er they could not be as wise as they sometimes pretended to be. He be- lieved, however, that if the citizens were left to themselves, sufficient talent and honesty would be found amongst them, to place good, and faithful men atethe head of affairs, To tax the stock of merchants did appear somewhat eXtroordinary, but perhaps it would have a tendency to to relieve the depression of trade, for if a heavy tax were laid on, importatins would probably not be so large. He was of opinion, however, that it was enough for representatives to exercise the power their constituencies. gave them, but. the City Council were asking for power which they did not possess when elected. If it was considered advisable to give them increas- ed power, it was right to place that power in the hands of those to whom it of right belonged. Let the people then elect res presentrtives to carry out the law with new instructions nad responsibilities. He | believed they would theu have new taleat, | new energy, 2nd perhaps a little more ‘honesty in the City Council. It was disgraceful to have laws which would pre- veut the best men from being brought to ithe front. It was admitted by those op- posed to the bill that the city required more funds, and, therefore, he believed it would be better to pass the bill with a proviso that it should not go into operas tion till there would be an election of the whole of the city Councillors. Le would more an amendment to that effect, if the amendment before them were adhered to. If the Councillors were sincere they could resign their positions at once, otherwise the law would remain a dead letter until August 1877.

Hom. Mr. Muon said that although he had opposed the bill he was not opposed to giving the citizens power to tax them- selves, but the manner in which taxes were proposed to be levied was unfair. Bank Stock was to be taxed in one way and merchants’ goods in another. If it had been proposed to tax the profits of merchants he would not have opposed the bill.

Hon. Mr. Walker would vote for ad- hering to the suggestion of this House. The promoters of the bill should listen to the voice of many influential men of Char- lottetown. The Common Council would be able, under this bill, to tax what they pleased, and there would be no court of appeal

Hon. Mr. Bolger would support the suggestion of his honor the Leader of the Opposition. The citizens should have power to govern themselves.

Hon. Mr. Laird had yet to learn that the people of Charlottetown were incapable of governing themselves. He believed the bill would be the means of awakening them from their lethargy, and they would bring men to the front who would be a credit to the city, and would levy taxes in a fair and equitable manner.

Hon. Mr. Balderston did not think they would be justified in rejecting the bill. If the suggestion of bis honor the Leader of the Opposition were adopted, it would probably make the people more alive to their own interests. He would give the Common Council unlimited power of tax- ation, providing their bye-laws required the approval of the Governor in Couneil. It appeared that the people themselves could not agree with respect to this mea- sure, and, therefore, the Legislature could not be blamed for rejecting it ; but as the City Government was largely in debt, and said that if they did not get more power to lay taxes they would have to sell some of the city property, he thought it would be better to pass the bill with the amendment suggested by his honor the Leader of the Opposition.

Hon. Mr, Walker said that from_re- marks made it would ‘appear that the City Council was not composed of men of in- telligence, but if an election were to take place to-morrow he doubted if better men could be chosen. The bill proposed to give power which no City Council should possess !

Hon. Mr. rior had not cast any reflections dir indirectly upon the City Council, but were elected with certain powers, and the bill proposed to give them other powers. Better or worse men might be elected, but the citizens would have the fat: of the bill in their own hands.

Hon. Mr. McEwen did not understand why his honor, who said the city was composed of good, honest men—the best that could be found—should oppose the bill. The City Councillors were as re-

}

the members of the Legislature were to 9

theirs. Where was the difference ‘

Hon. Mr. Walkersaid taere was a great difference, os the City Council both made the laws and administered them.

lon. Mr. McGill was inclined to give the City Council the power they asked for, and if dissatisfied he would have an opportunity

of voling against them. He did not seu why his honor from the Kast Pomt (Mr. Walker)

who said the Council was composed of good and efficient men, should be so afraid that they would abuse their power. There might

be a factious Executive Council who would not sanction Lhe bye-laws of the City Council if their political views did not harmonize.

Hon. Mr. Laird disclaimed any intention of insinuating anything against the City | Council; but he wanted to give the people

an opportunity of electing men with the powers the Bill would confer.

Hon. Mr. Strovg was of o}inion that all the bye-iaws of the City Council would have to receive the sanction of the Governor in Council before they could be enforced. The suggestion of his honor the Leader of the Opposition wasreasonable, and he laid down the fundamental principle that the people were the source of power. The people should have an opportunity of deciding whether or not they would aot give new power to their representatives. He could understand an income tax and a property tax ; but he could not understand this go-between sort of a tax which was to be levied upon furniture, and goods upon the sh Ives, and leather in the vats. It was not Bank Stock, but the dividends that were to be taxed, and the same principle applied to merchants would be sound and equitable. When those more immediately interested were differing upon this Bill how were country members to de- cide? He held the opinion that the people of Charlottetown had a perfect right to con- trol their own affairs. If they were not cap- able of doing so they had better throw up their hands and let the Local Government manage the town as well as the country. When the Legislature gave up control of the city. they required, as they had a right to do, that certain conditions should be com- plied with. Belore responsible Government was granted to the Province the people had to comply with certain conditions, He felt it to be his duty, as a@ representative of the people to see that tLe conditions were com- plied with, and if they were he would not interfere with their measure. He saw that the bill was defective; but the City Council required funds, and if they did not obtain increased power to levy taxes they would have to sell the fire engines and discharge the policemen. He was inclined to make an- other attempt to reconcile contending parties, There was necessity for the Bill, and the principle of it was sound. The dilliculy was in matters of detail. He was, therefore, in- clined to support the suggestion of his honor the Leader of the Opposttion, though he was apprebensive that the result of city elections would not be dilferent from what they had been until the constitution and the princip!es upon which the elections were held were altered. There was no property qualilica- tion for electors ; there was great room to buy votes, aud many, he had no doubt, were influenced by improper motives in voting.

Hon. Mr. Dodd had nothing to say agaiast any member of the City Council, but was not in favor of giving them unlimited power of taxation.

The question was then put, upon the mos tion of Hon. Mr. Dodd that this House do ad- here to their suggestions, and the Committee divided :—

Contents—Hon. Messrs, Dodd, Walker and Munn—3.

Non-Contents—Hon. Messrs. Laird,Strong, Bolger, Balderston, President, McGill, Me- Donald, and McEwen,—8.

So the motion was lost.

Hon. Mr. Laird then proposed his sugges- tion to the effect that the Act should not go into force until there would be an election of the whole of the City Councillors, and the question being put thereon, it passed in the affirmative. ‘The House was then resumed and further progress was reported.

Adjourned.

Dear Sir,—Your favor is just received. I in- tended to have written to you several weeks since concerning the improvement in my health, which is now apparent. I have used one bottle ot Favourite Prescription with the best results, although I will admit that | was somewhat dis- couraged after its use for a short time only: I took it under very disadvantageous circumstan- ces—having the supervision of the house, and during the season of house-cleaning I was _ob- liged, through the incompetency of help, to do more than I ought, and, of course, suftered dreadfully, litted when I ought not to have raised my hand, and did all I could to bring ‘ order out of chaos,’—but upon laying aside all cares and continuing the remedy t fied after using less than one bottle to be so much benefitted that I have discontinued the use, without any return of the symptoms of whichI wrote you. I have suffered terribly and what added to my distress was the consciousness of not procuring relief trom ordinary sources, at times it seemed about impossible to stand so great was the distress. All of those severe neuralgic pains have dis— appeared, they were so bad at times! could hardly walk without some external pressure. They seem to have lett me like magic, suddenly, and have had no returo; all other symptoms have been removed. The severe weakness and faintness have dissapperred, and I can go up stairs with comparative ease now. I would have ioformed you ere this of my improvement, tor | appreciated it, but I was fearful it was only transient benefit | was receiving, but I think sufficient time has elapsed to consider the ben- eficial results permanent.

I have, therefore, at the request of a large number of my friends and patrons, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time in the ‘‘ Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his business, and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithful job to pass. He and several competent workmen will attend to the wants of the public in that County.

The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported, viz :— American Hickcry, Oak, Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, etc., etc. The iron will be of the best. English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability.

Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted by a first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call.and they will be treated courteously and fairly dealt with. All kinds of REPAIRING, including Mowing Machines, done. Prices Moderate; Terms Easy.
