Thby create a healthy rivalry.Thc|r educa- tivs value is generhliy conceded. County exhibitions have dnnc a good work. Theglsland has outgrown them.

Tn_s bulk of the item in last year's expenses was for counsel fees to Mr. Aylesworth, etc. The Premier stated tbatlg sw Brunswick had had to pay nearly £000 more » than Prince Edward Island though the case was exactly of the same nature and

Hon Premier Peters explained that
this very thing was being done, and on more 'eiktonded scale than anyone suppo- sed. Hn had gone to agood dcalfof troubl'e"i_n this matter; was fully alive to its importation and was happy to say that arrangements were made the fulfilment ofwhich would result satisfactorily in this respect. He- further said thatg Government handbook was being
Mr, Morson and Mr. Mathleson both
spoke regarding the ferry. Mr. Macdonald inqulredil it were true that the ferry- man would put a motor ln his boat if the Government would provide it.
The Commissioner of Public Works thought this would be considered. The wharf was no doubt unsuitable for u sail boat. It wasa hard wharf to keep in order.
Mr. Kickham-Ibeg to draw the atten- tion of the Commissioner of Public Works to the Beach Road at Sonris. It is a very had road. He must know it is impossible for teams to haul loads over it. I also bring to his notice the condition of the road to the Breakwnter. This too is in an awful state. In former years this road was kept up by the late Government very well; now stuff’ has tobe hauled down by train. It would cost very little to keep it in good condition. While on my feet I mayas well allude to some other roads. There is Beach Road; this is a road on which no votes could be purchased, con- sequently tho road is neglected. On other roads money is wasted while this im- portant road is neglected. The Commis- sioner says the Government never pays for rights of way without opening roads. I know aroadyfpr which in n right of way was bought, but there was u gate there last Summer. There is no 'doubt the Commissioner is aware of this. Alsoin 1807 a right cf way was bought on the road from Souris Line to Head of Sourls, ,andthe road fairly well opened. But it has never been completed, because they could not induce a certain man to vote, and so he was neglecieil. Ibelicve and hope the Commissioner will attend to these roads, and that he will open the road to Bay Fortune. It was wash- ed out some time ago and they could notget it repaired. I trust to see the Hon. Commissioner come up with his fishing rod to this beautiful Bay For- tune and go with mc fern day's fishing
