P. E. ISLAND MAILS,
Bad Service Between Sackville and
Tormentine Shown up by Messrs Martin, McDonald and Others.
(Parliamentary Correspondence.) Orrawa, May 17—Yesterday the atten tien of the House of Commons was onc: more called to the state ot affairs in Princ: E.iward Island by Mr Martin and bis op~ pesition colleague Mr McDonald. The I<Jand province has large claims growing t of loca] traneportation questions and eral financial relations to the Dominion
| But the particular matier which Mr Martio
brought tothe attention of the House wa
the mail service. Atbest when the only means of regular mail cransportation 1s by ce boats between Cape Traverse and Cape Tormentine some delays are sure to occur. But the precent trouble is over delays tha: have taken place oa the mainland betwern Cape Tormentine and the Intercolonial. I
appears that this delay is entirely unneces- sarv. There isa railway between these two points which is always open. As Mr Powell explained at the end ot the debate, several mail trains arrived at Sackville during the day and the regular traffic trains offthe railway to Cape Tormentine can~ not make close conuectiens with them al! The through trains from and to Montreal and the west are the ones with which Mr Mulock wishes to establish connections. Some of these trains are usually behind time and it is impossible to make a time table on the branch line which will connect with them and atthe same time perform local service for which the railway ie ip
tended,
Senator Wood’s company offered to pro- vide a special train to meet the case. This trein would always leave Sackville when the mails came there and leave Cape Tormentine when the mails arrived by the boat. Mr. Mulock -refused to pay the price required, which Mr. Powell says is lower than is paid by Mr, Mulock for similar service to other roads in Canada. At the same time the Postmaster General protested against the failure to make con- nection with all the mail trains. Finally the oppcrtunity was improved to make friends with the mammon of unrighteous- ness and mixthe affairup with New Brunswick provincial politics. Senator Wood does not support the Emerson Gov- ernment and one of the friends of that Ministry, who was alsoa candidate for a seat in the House, wanted to take away the mail contract from the railway and obtain it for friends of his own. The reeult was a retrograde movem-<nt, as Mr. Martin calis it, aod the transfer of the service to a stage. The distance is,38 wiles, but this particular family interest required that it should be made stil! greater. Aulac Station is the nearest point on the Intercolonial but the contract was made that mails should be carried past this station four miles further to Sackville. The effect of this pleasing arrangement was that while the stage driver was moving along the line of the Intercolonial the train which he was try~ ing to meet was speeding past him. The mails were accordingly piled up till the next day. Popular clamor and derisien caused a change in these arrangements and the contract was transterred to otLers woo made delivery at Aulac.
Such was the explanation given at the end of the debate by Mr. Poweil. We may now return to Mr. Martio, who explained that under the contract bv open stage mails were delivered any“here trom on+ to four days bebind time, that they were kept between Aulac and Cape Tormentine from Monday unti) Thursday, that some times they were deposited along the road in barns and other shelters, and oc- casionally dropped on the highway, and on the whole, the service was as wretcheu as it possibly could be. It is natural that he should speak in rather strong languaze of a service like this which tskes inthe mails for a whole province, aod especially that he should refer to Sir Lonis Davies, who, afew years ago was posiog as the chief defender of the interesis of Prince Edward Island. The other day Mr. Mulock announced that the horee convey- ance had proved so eutisfaciory, aod (hat it wae proposed to call for tenders to estab- lish it permanently. For it may be re- marked that the political contract made last winter wae given without teoder,
Mr. Martin read a number of letters from travellers and merchants speaking of this mail ,service, pointout that it was decidedly unsatisfactory and that it had infl'cted great injury on merchant+ whoee bills of lading aud other pavers hed been delayed, and that among other things it violated the principles of the S.P. C. A. inasmuch as the contractcr’s horses were, some of them, unfit to be on the road, Mr. Martin was williog that Mr. Malock ehouid busy himself with estabiishing penny postage alloverthe Empire ata considerable expense to Canada, but sug- gested that Prince Edward Island was a part of the Empire not entirely without importance and that the Minister ought in the midst of hi- great Imperial enterpriees to give some thought to his own country. He would perhaps conclude that it wasa mean business to try tosave a few doilurs by deprivingthe Province ofa regular communication which could be established at comparatively small cost by special train,
If the Ministere would not do it Mr. Martin believed that the people of Prince Edward Inland would rather pay for it themselves than go on as the Postmaster General proposed. Itoften happened that mails came from Vancouver to Halifax in less time thao they from Halifax to Char-~ lottetown, and one merchant was quoted as fayiog that the service made connections only six times duringthe winter. What was really needed was agpecial mail train with mail clerks who could assort the mails eo that they could be delivered at Cape Tormentine for transmission east ward to Summerside. This would not cost more than was paid for much less important services el:ewhere. Mr. Mulock
had offered no adequate defence for the degradation he had impose d on the service and the humilation he bad inflicted on the province.
” Mr. Beil and Mr. McLellan seemed to hestitate between theirdesire to support the Government a d their wish for a bet- ter mail service. Both of them freely aimitted that aflairs were not satisfaciory; but beth said that as regards @ portion of the mail bound to the Island from the mainland the stage service was better than
the iraip service bad been. They did pot make sach aciaim 10 fre gard to the mails from the Island to the ma:niaod nor those from the maraland to the western part of cbeisiand. Both advocated the establish- ment of a special train service and mildly shiected to course of Mr. | al ck tO make permanent the eystem
tab: shed jas: winter. Mr. Bell tried to the Government down easy by saying
.e Yr Louis Dav es deserved a great dea f credit for procuring a new boat to take the place of the ‘Stanley.’ He hoped hat ove of the two boats would be ees tablished on the western s-rvice and that a regular steamboat service might be con-
ine? prop sed
tinued between Summerside and the mainiand during the winter. This was apparentiy intended as adiversion from
the subject under discussion,
Mr. McDonald got back tothe pont. It strikes him as being an altogether sname- ful thiag that this alleged progreesive Gov- ernment should have gone back to sleighs and eteges on a forty mile route, when 4 railroad was there prepared to dofbusiness on easy terms. Mr. McDonald is not so sanguine as Mr. Bellabout the possibilities of steamboat service over the western rouse. He stands by Georgetown and the East. But he will be glad to see improvements attemped. In the meantime he cannot see why the Goveroment should not avail themeelves of modern means of conveyance and give Prince Eiward Island a special mail service as is done elsewhere when there is need of it.
Sir Louis insieted that the stage was all right, much better then the service of old times. He declared that convections had been wel] made, but would “candidly ad- mit” that the Island was entitled to a special train service with mail clerks and all conveniences for handling the mail
traffic expeditiously. This seems to be a condid admission on the part of the Minister
of Marine that the Postmaster-General is too much for him! Sir Louis went on to commend himeelf for buying a new ship and to say that he was going to have 4 survey made of the- route between the Capes and see whether a steamship ser- vice could be maintained. If that cannot be done it may be presumed, for al] that Sir Louis said to the contrary, that some of Mr. Emerson’s friends will continue to plod along threugh the snew with the Prince Edward Island mails, delivering them avy time from one day to a week after they are due, and depositing them in the meantime at such convevient and ins convenient places as may be found.
Mr. Poweli’s statements, mentioned above, put a new light on the matter and © remark of Sir Lout-{Davieafzave them ad- ditional po'nt. Sir Louis observed that the Cape Tormentine railway now per~ formed a local service for the Postmacter General and intimated that if she Company woulu not acceyt Mr. Mulock’s terms for a 8,ec al througl: service it would lose the o ber contract. Mr, Powell raid that he noderstood all aboutthis threat, and ad- mitted that the Governomest provatly had friends who would be g!ed to get this job als, But beassure! Sr Louis that the owners or the rai'way were tict likely to be int m dated by threats. Asthey bad off-red wo perform the service at tha ordinary rates they would waitto see what the Minixter would do. If te carried out his ti reat the company could survive as it fortunately was not d+pendeut apon asy- thing that Sur Lonis Davies could do in ita bebalf. ‘he G vernment bad succeed- ed in giving & mi >t diagracefa! mail ser~ vice to Prioce Edward Island, a: d in doing s0 had saved no money tu the Post Office Department.
