At the afiernoon session committee on the Light and Power Company’s incorpora- tion bili wasreeumed. The discussion on the clause in the bill providing for the running of trains on Sundays between the hours of ll a.m. and 12.15 p. m. and 7 p m. and 815 p. m. was continued by Hon. Mr. Farquharson who was strongly op- poved to that feature of the bill.

Mr. Arthur Peters said that the Com- pany did not intend to to operate the cars on Sundave until after the plebiscite vete. But in order to make the matter more definite he moved that sub-section ‘*b’”’ be amended by adding the words: “The Com- pany sbali not rua the cars on Sun lays until after such electicn shall be held and a vote of the majority of the electors ob tained.” sub-section “b” it may be added, makes provision for the taking of a plebis-~ cite vote on the matter of operating the cars on Sundays within eighteen mouths from the going into operation of the railway.

Mr. Shaw epoke in favor of the clause under review, and referred to tne advantage Sundaycars would be to the poor of the city who could not afford to own or hire horses. Besides the repres- entatives of the various Protestant churches had agreed to the proposition re- garding @ plebiscite on Sunday cars.

Hon. Mr. Warburtoe alsospoke favor~ ably of the clause before the House, and advocated its adoption. He had no interest whatever in the measure except the desire to see a Ftreet railway in opsration in Charlottetown.

Hon. Mr. Gordon spoke of the benefit street cars would be to the people of the

eity, and approved of the course adopted iia submitting the matter of Sunday runnirg toa

plebiscite vote.

Hon. Mr. McMillao was not in favor of the clause before the House, and expressed his intention of voting against it. He was not favorable to passing & measure to break the Sabbath.

Mr. Murdock McKinnon was opposed to

the clause. It would promote Sunday picnics aod parties.lf the Sunday clause did wot carry it was the intention to withdraw the bill, c!carly indrwating thar Sunday wasthe day depended upon for revenue,

Mr. Birch follewed, speaking in approval of the streetcars and pointing out the advantage their operation on Sunday would be to the poor and afflicted who were un- able to provide themselves with other con-~ veyances. He believed that much good would come out of their introduction.

Mr Lefurgey thought the company were not asking for anything more than they were entitled to. If the meople of Char- lotietown wanted the ears to ruo on Sunday thev should have them.

Hon, Mr Farqubarsen objected to the clauve in th- bili giving the company a monopoly of twenty-five years from the

passage of the Act, and moved an amend- ment reducing the time to fifteen years. Mr. A. Peters objected to the reduction proposed by Mr. Farquharson. But he would not oppo-e a reiuc ‘onto twenty ears. Hon Mr. Rogers was a!so opposed to the

reduction. Tne company proposed to spend a large sum of mouey here, aod should be g:ven a liberal franchise. If

reduced to fifteen years he capitaliete would invest in

the term was did not helieve the enterprise.

Hon. Mr. Warburton was opposed to monopolis on general principles, but there were circumstances under which they see ned justifiable. Admitting, as the House had, that the etree railway was 4 necess- ity, and knowing that capi‘aliests rould not invest money in the enterprise unless a considerable monopoly was crarted he was not disposed to offer objection in this case.

Hon. Mr. Gordon thought that in view of the progress that was being made in the seiences, especially in eleetricity, a term of twenty five.years was rather Jong. He believed that twenty yesrs was suffibient This would give them seventeea years to

earn money afer the road was built.

Hon. H. C. Macdonald was also opposed io the twenty-five years monopoly. He

would support the fifteen year amend- ment.

Mr. Shaw was favorable to a twenty~ year monopoly. He did not think it would be right for country members to supportan amendment that might deprive the people of Charlottetown of ‘the railway.

Mr. Farqubarson’s amendment was then submitted te a vote of the House and declared lost.

An amendment introduced by Mr. Arinur Petera that the term be reduced from twenty-five to twenty years was after- ward-put and carried,

At the evening session the further considered ia committee.

Mr. Beil sad that in reapect to the runoing of cars on Sundays the positien of the clergymen of the city had been misrepresented. The understanding arrived at by them, and upon which they gave axeent to the bill, was that the cars should not run on Snodaya until eighteen months afier the road had been putin operation and a majority cf the people had so de clered at the polle. Buta different pro- vision was inserted in Sthe bill. They argue trat if a plebiscite is taken abowt the time the road is completed all the influe- ence of the people to whom employ- ment is or has been given will be in tavor of the measure, and they wiil thus be placed ata disadvantage, Given a fair chance they are willing to appeal to the moral sense of the community, avd they have no fear of the result. He (Mr. Bell) lid not, however, wish,to be anderstood as approving of the concession made by the clergymen. It was a sacrifice of princi~ ple. He could see no between

difference submitting the whole ten commandments to a yote or the people and submitting one. In connection with the matter Mr. Bell moved following amendment which, he said, embodied the views of the clergys men:

Resolved, That section 46, sub section b. be amended by adding thereto the fol- lowing:

“Provided that the frst of such elec tions shalknot be held until at least 18mon thea shall have elapsed after the said four miles of railway be fully completed and in operation.”

Mr. Farquharson seconded the moticn made by Mr. Bell. Speaking of the mon- opoly jause in the bill he ‘expreased the opinion'that capitalists could be induced to come here and build the railway on a ten years franchise if the matter was proper. ly presented totbem. He thonght it was better to put money into the pockets of the people than into the pockets ofa foreign Company.

Mr. Shaw eaid the bill gave clergymen ample opportunity of exerting their iatluevce with their people in respect to Sunday carr, and intimated that these cars would materially assist poor people in the macier of attending church.

The amendment introdueed by Mr. Bell was then put aud declared lost on division, and the original motion Carried. The amendment was supported by Bell, Farquharson and McMillan.

The S;eaker took the ehair and the adoption of the bill was moved.

Mr. Bel] moved in ameodment that the bill be referred tack tothe committee for the purpose of striking outthe whole of section 45 and subsections abcd ande, allowing the cars to ruo on Sundays.

Hoa. §Mr. Farquharson secouded the motion.

Mr. D. A McKinnon then spoke at some length in oppesition to Sunday cars. He could see no necessity for their existence in Charlottetown, around which any man ean walk in half an hour. This matter of Sabbath desecration should be met fairly and squarely and not placed on other shoulders. He did not wish \o be under- stood as opposing the street railway. But there were some sections of the bill that might have been looked after more closely

This would, like other monopolies, in~ crease expense of living for tne poor man

instead of being a benefit to him. The
