1 WAS particul last week—Douglas Boylan

Provincial Building here should be turned over to the Historie, Sites and Monuments Board of Canada so that it could be preserved as a national shrine. It was made at

recent meeting of the P.F.I.

_ I would naturally be interested because I am interested in preserving our items of historic value, and this must rank among fhe top Canadian historic items. But 1 have another

reason.

It was bac in 1955, or 1956, I believe, that I proposed the same thing in the House of Commons. I waa pleased to find several days later that the re

Police Register. Stolen In 1882 —

‘EDGAR: MacNUTT, noted Island historian, brought a humorous note into the méeting when he read an excerpt

from a letter mailed to the in 1882 by one who signed the Mic-Mac.”

The letter was with a volume that had been mailed to Charles Palmer of the society. It said in part: “It possesses no intrinsic. value, and but little. antiquarian interest,{ nevertheless it is historical in character and may

“How it came into my possession it is not necessary to enquire. During the silent watches of the night between the hours when the God of day sinks beneth the Western horizon and the stilly calm of that supreme moment when he again appears in the east to enlighten our planet with the resplend- .

Historical Society

THE ORIGINAL historica {~1882 an old Examiner story tells me. If I understand Mr. MacNutt correctly, the organization wound up its affairs that year.. The present version of the P.E.I. Historical . was organized in 1953.:It's still going strongly

fighting for a_place in which to display the province's ‘historical items. A meeting with the government ted-soon- after. the present session of the legislature closes. The problem ofa building to house a museum will

is

be discussed.

“Coffee Break” Ralph Cameron in his Evening Patriot eolumn notes that it costs $4,268,132 to service the prov- ince’s debt now—that’s the interest cost of one year. ‘‘Not too long ago,” he suggests ‘‘that would have been more

“than the entire budget.”

Total Budget Was $2.1 Million

A FEW days ago my old friend Alex Matheson told me that when he sat in the Legislature for the first time some 25 years ago, the entire budget was $2,100,000. So the debt -~gervicing charge today is slightly more than twice the entire

Island budget of 25 years ago.

And still we go on increasing the debt by large amounts each year—I don’t buy ‘the idea of selling the new Provincial Building that cost approximately. $5.1 million to a newly created company for the same.amount, and suggesting that takes $5.1 million from our debt or our liabilities, what- ever name modern accounting methods gave to it.

I'm-not playing party politics either. Our debt has been increasing rapidly under. Liberal and Conservative govern- | ments. The increases become greater, with the passing years. | And still-so fas-as the most of our people are concerned, the cry -is for ever increased spending.- Where it will end, or’ should I say ‘‘when it, will, end” is something cn which I*

wouldn't like to speculate.
