The President stated that this wana

Mr. Aitken moved that the regular

quarterly business be adjourned until Friday evening, and that the Board re. some the debate. Seconded by H.

Haszard and carried.

The :resident seii that the discussion

on the proposed guarantee of the bonds of the Dominion Packing Company would now be continued. A meeting had al- ready been held at which considerable

discussion on this question had taken'

place. That debate was adjourned ana

invitations were extended to represents-I tive men in all sections of the Province, many of whom_were here tonight. Letters. l stating regrets at bt ing unable to attend, 5 were received from quite a number, most of whom are opposed to to the gueranleel of the bonus of the company.

Horace Hasz ird.-As a large number of i

gentlemen are here who wish for infor- mation on this question, we should have before us the application made by the Dominion Packing Company to the Local Government for the guarantee; The meet bg woull then be ina position to,

discuss the matter.

D. Small would like to hear the names i

ofthe men who are members of and who form the Dominion Packing Company. The Government should give the electors . some information on the question before

us.

Thomas Klckhnm wished to hear from

the Leader of the Government upon the `

tate to the Government, but to voice the

the voice of the people, they will have io ‘

Government any more than any other

body of men. No`doubt this question would be handled by abler men than hr, who will thus give to the Government great assistance in arriving at it right con- clusion upon it. The members of this Board are quite competent to dc-al with

this question, and he appreciated their

kindness in inviting him to be present _with them on this occasion. But the G overnment are not bou nd to disclose every derail of the contract until ti e whole matter is closed up. Tney have the right D0 Rive just such answers to questions as they think proper. But they had nothzng of importance for the public rither to dis- close or conceal. When the President of

this Board called ~upon him, he (Mr i

Peters,) read -him the whole minute of Council reep:eting this cootra;t. Poli_ics should be excluded from this discussion altogether. The company approached them when we were busy with other mat ers, and he deferred answering for a time. The que=t_on had given him agrrat deal of trouble and anxiety before he cun- eluded what course to take. Some people might think he hai taken no trouble aooutlt, but. the contrary was the fact- de hai given the ma ter great consider- ation and care.

italtr ts to ask

C0., which is to establish cer‘a.in indus- tries in this Province during the 'next 12 mouths. The prop wsal was that a. bonus be granted the company of $3300 per year, or a guarantee of their bonds. The former proposition was not accepted by the Gov- ernment. This Company comes here and makes avaluable proposition. but as to whether they should receive a guarantee or not, is another question. Personally he did not see any good ground for this proposed guarmtee by the Goveriti"i!re*5- This company is composed of men of im- mense raoilai, and why they should ask

he could not see. Any bank in this country would give them the guarantee for which they ask on their giving proper security. Then why do they :uk the Government for is guarantee? lf they secure the Government guarantee, it would no doubt. make them a very strong companr, and the would be in a position to compere successfully with any other company in the market. It would simply give this company a great ad\'aUb3&'6 GW? all others in ihis Province, and he could not sec why the "Government should give them that- advantage. We have a pork pecking industry which has already done good work, and which they have pur- chased, but it is not a new establishment. The prop isition of the company in respe ct to pork packing, is ‘not really new. The establishment has been in existence for years in this Province. No doubt if other pa/:king companies knew the capacity of this Province to produce the raw materials for carrying on such :t business as is now proposed, they would al 0 come here and establish similar industries. But he (Mr. II.) uri- dfrstood that the present pork Decking

establishment had never been fully sur- plied with hogs. It is not, therefore, a want of capacity in the existing building that is felt, but a lack of the product with which it should be supplied. We are told hy its managers that they coull dispose of three times as many animals as they et present receive from our farmers. If such is really the fact, why make such a great ado about increasing the plant now in use? If Mr. Rsttenbury found it too small, or if the new company in future find it too small, it would he an easy matter to increase its capacity. But. why increase it just now, when it is not really

'requiredl The money for that purpose

could be obtained by the company wirh- out coming to the Government at all. He could see reason why this or any other company should not establish as lrge a plant as they like, but to give one com- pany an advantage over another, would be altogether unfair and unjust. When such a proposal is made it is time for the people to say whether they want this thing or not. Tremendous monopolies now exi-t all over the world; some of them in Canada. But can it be shown in any case, that they have increased the price of raw material? If this guargntee is granted the compazywiil be able to fix their own prices for the production of - the farm. for they will be able weani- pcte successfully with the man of _moder- ate means. We should thinkiivery seri- ously before advising the Government to give the guarantee now asked for. We should not put our fingers -in our own eyes indealing with this question.; _ B.
