powers‘ 1o the question of a reduc- tion in lighting and power rates to our citizens. As matters, stand at present, however, the Public Utili- ties Board are all powerful and if ibny do not act, but little can be accomplished in this direction. They have acted, but seemingly only for the purpose of white washing the Company's present rate struct- ure, something entirely different to the investigation-that the Govern- ment assured us would be under- taken. At the time I asumed of- fice I siutcd that the Provincial Government would bring down 1e:- isiotion which would enable the matter to be more effectively dealt with by the Utilities Board. This has been done after a. manner, but results have been sad‘y Peking. Th’:

the sea charities, “8henandoah" and "Drunken Sailor" added spice and variety to the entertainment.

way of com and protection, to the Canadians who supply most of our ducks, I nm curious concerning the conditions under which you took these birds. It seems more than coincidence that the same sports- man should take birds banded at the some station more than 700 miles away. Of course I have re- cords ttprough all the Maritime Provinces and Btates, but these two records might indicate ex- tremely well-defined flight lines. "Would you be kind enough to tell me something of the conditions under which you took these birch? Do you shoot over the bay, from s point, or in an isolated. pond that tends to concentratdthe ducks? Do you bait? Is there an abundance of good feeding territory in your part of the country? "I have had dismaying accounts of the fall, in Black Duck, Brent ‘and Gbdsd numbers in Eastern Canada this year. At the two ‘con- centration points with which I am familiar here, Black Duck numbers are off 50 per cent. In fact, there have been so few at the Sanctuary, and natural food has been so abundant, that. I have been able to band only about l0 per cent of my normal take, this fall. So I'm afraid this reduces the chances of your giving us more data by got. ting some of our birds next year!

“One of the most interesting things I've learned through band- ing here, is the definite northward ‘set’ of ducks in the fall. Blacks, Pintails, and Mallards were taken in Canada, Vennowit, Maine, etc., several weeks after I had bonded them when they should have been moving southward."

How was this arrived at? l-lwre L1 the explanation. Total receicfs for 1834 were 8199,975.8l_agalnst $190,- 822.82 for 1933, an increase of $9.- 15329. Expenditures in 1934 in tho several departments were $144291!!!

enough pressure to force the hands of our unwilling Board. and we are beginning to question the wisdom oi’ further insistence in view of the attitude made clear to us. We are informed that in the case of ma- ei-icton, N. B.. a much smaller City titan Charlottetown. as a result of the vigorous action taken, the‘ Maritime Electric Company has re-

duced its charges to the citizens to] the extent of 513500.00. And we are firmly of the opinion that a much greater reduction than this could in obtained for our citizens if the Util- ities Board could be prodded into action. But even this would be only a stop gap. The City and the Gov- ernment should oome together and work out plans by which the plant and rights of the Maritime-Electric Company in this Province can be secured by purchase or legislative action, and the utility then oper- ated under the control of a Joint Commission appointed by the Gov- ernment and City for the benefit ‘i of all the people of this province. I am convinced that in this way sub- stantial. vaductlons 1n rates can be made and still have a considerable net mvcnue from its operation ' flow into the treasury of the gov- ernment and of the City. It is a. shame that the hard earned monev of our people should go in the form of exorbitant light and power rates to lose itself in the support of a top-heavy, ovcrcapitallzed foreign company.

I commend to your eamrzst at- tention the problems which lie be- fore you 1:1 the canning: year 11nd I bcspeuk from you all, the same un- swerving devotion to duty which has marked your endeavours in the year just passed, and I thank the members of the Council and the Civic offlctnls for their active co- operation and assistance in solving the ppoblrms o! 1934.
