RESOLUTION REGARDING A BRIDGE ACROSS THE HILLSBOROUGH.
—- +
| The Previncial Government to Assist the
Dominion Goverument in the Matter,
Tuespay, April 27.
House met at 3 p.m.
Mr. Shaw asked the Commissioner of Public Works if it is the intention of the Government to repair the wharf on the north side of the Brudenell River to be fit for shipping purposes for the ensuing autumn, in answer tothe prayerof a petition from certain inhabitanta from Roreveath, Georgetown Reya'ty aud Car- digan.
Hon. Mr. McLean said the Government would investigate the matter during re- cess, and if deemed in the public tmterest the work would be proceeded with.
Hon. Mr. Peters moved the following resolution :—
W bereas the Dominion Government has proposed to survey the Hillsborough River with the object of building a bridge to connect the contemplated Belfast and Murray Harbor Railway direct with Cbhar- lottetown.
And Whereas, it is desirable, in order to save the cost of the ferries and to better accommodate tne travelling public, that the bridge be constructed so as to be suit- able for passenger and carriage traffic across the said River as well as for the Railway.
Therefore Resolved, that in the opinion of the Legislative Assembly the Govern- ment of Prince Edward Isiand should co- operate with the Dominion Government in arranging for the constraction of a Bridge for the purposes aforesaid at as early a time as possible upon such terms as may be agreeable to both Governments.
Hon. Mr. Peters spoke of the importance of the resolution, and pointed out thata good deal of money had been spent on.the Southport ferry. He also referred to the lack of railway accommodation from which the people of the South side suf- fered. The people of Belfast claim that they have been taxed for the benefit of the peeple of other sections of the province, ani there is pod »ubt some foundation for the statement. It is therefore the duty of this Government as well as of the Domi- pion Government to rectify this injustice. He would like to see the railway extended tothe furthermost end of the Murray Harbor District. If this road were provid- ed much needed accommodation would be secured. Theo there is the proposition for » bridge across the Hilsborough. There is to be a practical survev followed by estimates for the work. No matter how good a ferry is placed there it wiil ct certain times in the spring and fall be unsatisfactory. Nothing but a bridge will obviate this and give a continuous service. If the Dominion Government build a railway bridge this Goveramen: propose to have it suitable for ordinary traffic. Theobject of the resolution is to show the Dominion Government that the Government is willing to come in and assist in the undertaking provided we will be allowed to take advantage of the bridge for ordinary traffic. This resolution dues not bind us to the expenditure of any sum of money, it simply states that if the Dominion Government build the bridge we are willing to assist in the enterprise provided we are allowed to use it for ordinary traffic.
Hon. Mr. Forbes seconded the motion.
Hon. Mr. Gordon was pleased to hear that the Dominion Government were abont to undertake the construction of a bridge across the Hil'sborough. He would favor the resolution to assist in the undertaking put thought that a sum should be named.
Mr. Campbell said that he would support the resolution but he would re- serve to himself the right to approve cr disapprove of the expenditure if the work should be undertaken. He agreed a¢ to the practicability of the undertaking, but pointed ont that we have not the survey or branch railway to Belfast yet. How- ever, if the accommedation referred to can be given the people of the south side of the Hillsborough at a reasonable rate he would support it.
Mr. McKinnon expressed his pleasure at seeing the steps that were being taken for providing accommodation across the ferry. He helieved it was the intention of the Colon al Government to build a bridge there, as gathered from the speeches of amembers east and west. It was thonght at confederation that a bridge would be built. There wasalmost one-fifth of the population on the other side of the Hills- borough and they have paid a iarge sum into the revenue. He was pleased that the government was propounding some- thieg practical. The two points aimed at were to provide good accommodation and make the bridge pay. He hoped the Government would get the bridge built and that the cost would not bear heavily upon the people. He thought that if the rates were reduced the deficit on the rail- way would be less than it is. He telieved the branch line to Murray Harbor would
av.
Mr. A. J. Macdonald pointed out that this was not the first time the question of a bridge was discussed, and showed that the difficulties which existed when the matter was up before were still to the front. The expense, he feared, was larger than the people anticipated. They might be satis- tied to apend three or four thousand dollars but would pause at halt a million. «Of course the Dominion Government would bear the greater part of the expen3e, but this province will have to bear its sbare. Another question is, will the bridge have to be sufficiently high for vessels. But the day for sailing vessels is past, and this will probably be all right. The taxpayers who do not use the ferries look upon them as a sink for their taxes, aud any relief will be welcomed.
Mr. H. C, Macdonald was glad the
resolution came up under such favorable circumstances, ‘The people on the south side are unduubtedly enutled to better ac-
; COMmMOdation than they are now receiving,
although the secommoualion Is mreh | superior to that atfurded under previous | administrations. A resolution «of this
nature was in.roduced in this House when the late Government was in power and
those hon. gentiemen voted t down. The d:szgravefel state of this ferry when the present Government came in neces- sitatd a ijarge outlay. Thia they met and built a new boat besides. He (Mr. Macdonald) believed there was
no difficulty atous vailding this bridge, and this resolution, which*promises reason- able assista ce, should be passed. The bridge can be built for carriages and pedestrians as well a> for railway purposes, and it may al-o have a diaw for vessels. He thougit the Goverameut were to be comtnendea for the step they had taken. He thought it would be a mietake to put aisum of money in the estimates as suggested by the Leader of the Opposition. Liven if the bridge «did vost $400,000 it would be a great accommodation to the people on the south side of the Hillsbor- ough and would save a great deal on ferries aud in otner ways.
Mr. Shaw said that avy scheme to far- nish accommodation to the people on the south side of the Hilisborough should be taken ho'd of. The ferries are costing a great deal, and steps siiould be taken to decreare the outlay. We have nothing to do with the proposed branch railway. That ma ter is in the bands of the Domin- ion Government, and he hoped the roed would be built. He spoke of the resolu- tion introduced in 1890 relating to a bridge across the Hilleborough, to which reference had been made by Mr. Macdon- ald, and pointed out that while the Gov- ernment of the day voted ayainst it they voted for a survey which, of necessity, had to be made before the work could be proceeded with. The vote on that occa- sion was not against the bridge, but it provided for a survey. This survey was made aod an estimate was submitted by Engineer Brown, If it were possible to effect a@ saving to the taxpayers he would be in favor of building abridge. He thought, however, that if the survey was made and the Engineer’s report submitted the Dominion Government should confer with this Legislature, aad the whole matter should be laid before the House before action is taken.
Hon. Mr. Farquharson thought that any co-operation on the part of this Govern- ment with the Dominion Government r e- garding the proposed bridge would be in the right direction. The people need betier accommodation than they now have, although itis much better than it used to be both at Southpert and Rocky Point. The bridge scheme war a practical one, and he believed that in the vear future a bridge would be built over the Hills- borough.
Hop Mr, Sinclair said the scheme was a business-like one. The Dominion Govern- mept will raise money and build the bridge and our siare will not be more than we are now spending in that direction at the present time.
Mr. Beil said he was in sympathy with the resolution as he looked upon it as atiirming a principle rather than involving a money grant. He thought, however, that a bridge could be built for very much less than $400,000, for which large sum he would hesitate to vote. If the two govert- ments co-operate it will be a simole mat- ter t@ have a roadway running evenly with the raile and this would not cost one-tenth of $400,000. He was speaking of course of the ordinary railway bridge. He thougbt the seople were entitled to a bridge and it would be a more satisfactory way of reaching town. Mr. Davies, our represen- tative in the Cabinet, is pledged in favor of the Southern Railway and he (Mr. Bei!) thought it was our duty to suppurt him in the carrying ont of his pledge.
Mr. Macdonald pointed out that be did not say the cost of the proposed bridge would be $400,009, but even if it did cost that much it would be a saving on the ferries. He believed, however, that the cost would not be mere than $100,000.
Hon. Mr. Peters said in reply to Mr. Bell that the resolution was merely to affirm a principle and did mot involye 4 money vote.
Mr. A. Peters intimated that this resolu - tion interested his district. He did nat think the time ot the House shonlda be taken uy ditcussing the cost of the propo:- ed bridge. It wae not a question of cost. The people are entitled to the bridge and they should haye it. It was a step in the right direction and he hoped the bridge would bo constructe}.
Mr. Prowse was strongly in favor of the proposed bridge. Be believed that what would benefit the people of the south side would also benefit the people of Char- lottetown. The move towards the bridge wou'd, he believed, be carried out.
Hon. Mr. McLean was alco pleased to support the resolution. He hoped that whea the Dominion Government took the matter up this Government would succeed in making arrangements for co operation in the work.
The resolution was then put and car- ried.
Oa motion of Hen. Mr. McLean the Honse went into committee onthe bil! incorporating the town of Souris, with Mr. H. C. Macdonald in the chair. time spent in committee the bill was referred to a sub-committee to report upon tomorrow.

Wepvespay, April 28.
After tuis forenoon’s session opened Mr. Shaw moved that the House go into committee of the whole for the considera- tion of his resolution regarding the finances of the Province, published in Tae Exam- Iver On Monday.
Hon. Mr. Peter objected to the resolu- tion, Claiming that it was out of order, aud asked the Speaker fur bis ruling.
An animated discussion followed, after which the Speaker took time to consider, prowising a decision at three in the after- noon,
ABAD ROAD.
Sir,—Vermit me, through the columns of your valuable paper, to bring to the notice of the C. P. W. the deplorable con- dition of the roads and bridges between Clear Springs and Souris. Never within the memory of the oldest inhabitant here have we baa such roads. Neveriheless the How. the Leader of the Government in his speech on the budget had the daring effrontery to tell the people of this Pro- vince that the roads have been iv a very efficient state since his Governmenr intro- duced those grand money-saving mud machines. He save “the roads were in a disreputable conditton when we arsumed office, bat now they are in first clase.” If roads cut diagonaily and longitudinally with deep trenches, covered with mud and crossed here and there with small bridges of rotten planks and feoce rails can be called first-claes ones; we have lots of such in the First District of Kings. Now the people of this part do not want such roads as I have described. If the road Supervi- sor is not able, through ill health, to per- form bis duties let the C. P. W. have those roads repaired. Surely the people here are entitled to good roads, after having paid their share of taxes.

A SUGGESTION.
Sir,—Te it not about time the manage- ment of the Opera House made some endeavor to control the mob that takes complete charge of that house at every evtertainment, or are the people to be annoyed out of their seats by this posse of paper-collared black-guards. Such con- duct as the pounding of canes and umbrellas, hooting, whistling, cat-calling, etc., would not be tolerated in any decent house of amusement in the world—perbaps the like of it might be funnd in adive on the Bowery or some place of that sort.
Now, it is not an uncommon thing to see & policeman loitering about a theatre dur- ing @ performance, and I thiuk it would be in the interests of the Masonic Temple
Co. to bave ove of the force on hand at the
next entertainment to take such bloods as those in hand, and if necessary, remove them to some place where they could enjoy themeelves without annoying otaers
