i tracing its Roots in the Cultural, Educational and Commercial Fields o! the Community.

III-ll)-

UIIAPTIIB FOUR.

From the Wesleyan Missionary Society reporta which were pub- lished from 1818 onwards. interesting item may be culled for this period o! the Church's history. Bedeques contributions to mission- ary work. apart from the partial support they gave their own mission- ary, and. apart from their own mieeio ry’: annual contribution of a guinea, started in 1824 when ten shillings in small sums was collected.- In the report for 1825 Tryon and Bedeque cangregatlom were said t0 be "increasingly good." Services were also held at Cravpaud and Cape Traverse. .

A news item in the Register (Charlottetown newspaper) of August 30. 1825. motioned that the inhabitants of Otapaud and its neighbor- hood planned on erecting a email church for use of Christiana of all persuasions. but with preference to be given the Anllifliili-i- The W114‘ ing plans called for a church with steeple, gallery and altar on a beau- tifully chosen situation. This presumed to refer to the Ohiurch of St. John the Evangelist at Crapaud which was not erected till 1841, but might also refer to the third chapel on the Bedeque circuit. The wee first church of the Crapaud Wesleyan: was built on that beautiful God's Acre (n-ow Crapaud cemetery) which looks out on the West- morcland River. .

' Improved Prospect

The Crapaud Methodist prospects were spoken of as beinl Iood in the 1828 Missionary report with land. material and labour lined up for the immediate erection of a chapel, though the previous year the mis; sionary had been almost ready to “abandon the few sleepy hearers.

“The Bedeque Sunday School", so the report continues, “suffers an interruption of six months in the year due to the road and weather. In this department of our labours we suffer most for the want of local help and these institutions isnauish for wani- o! books! Had Mi the missionary purchased them at his own expense there could have been no school at Bodequc. By binding the tracts sent out by the‘ committee and by a grant obtained from the Religious circulating library in Char- lottetown he had been able to supply each school with a library of thirty email volumes."

For the church year. June 1. law-May 80. 1826, the absence of baptismal entries in the Bedeque records and the dearth of reports for this period make it uncertain as to whether there was a missionary ata- tfoned at Bedeque at this time. Rev. John Marshall who followed Mr. Jackson. reported thirty-one members at Bedeque for 1827 with “three backsliders reclaimed." Bedeque was catching up on Tryon which had thirty-five "remarkably steady" meinbe a at this time. For e amal- ler parts of the circuit three members are listed for Cape ‘rt-averse while Crapaud had seven who with other adherents worshipped in a new chapel (twenty-six by twenty-two) not yet complete.

'I'he Sunday School at Bedeque in 1827 still suffered from the lack of teachers which had so discouraged hnatone in 1821. The twenid- eight pupils enrolled had the missionary and his wife as teachers. Bedeque circuit, twenty-three mules in extent, had six preaching places which the pastor visited eleven times a. fortnight.

Ilrlt Peat-Master

Bedeque‘: first poet-mam: was William Baker. Ibr many years the only post office on the Island was at Charlottetown where Bede- quers called two or three times a yea-r for their mail, or received it through the kindness d! their neighbors; but in 17 a. Western mail carrier was appointed to deliver the mail-once a week 1n summer and once a fortnight in the winter at fovur Prince Cwnty centres. The peo- ple were informed through the Register that all mail for Caseuumee. Tignish. and Malpeque would be left with Mr. Fowle the schoolmaster, at George Bearisws, Princeiown. Residents of St. Eleanorb, Miacouche and West Point were to get their mall at John Townshendb Inn. ‘kay- elier’s Rest. while South Side Bciaequera had to go to William Baker s. and Crapaud residents received their mail at James Bulpits Union Inn. Tryon Inland poet of two pence cm letters and lsaberwe on news- pa-pers. seldom if ever paid in advance. kept. the weekly Prince County mall to what a. man on horse-back could carry- The 1111i weit-"n mail carrier, Richard Bagnail. host at the Hazel Grove Inn, the fam- ous half-way house on the Princetown Road. was to become well known to the travelling public of Prince County when beginning around 1830 he ran the first stage coach for passengers and mail between Char- lottetown and Princetown. The first postmaster of Bedeque. Cl-Pii- W11" liam Baker. no relation of the Loyalist blacksmith family of the some name. died Sept. 30, 1828. only a year after his appointment. at the age of 82. He is believed to be the ancestor of the Mari?“ 38km but it is not certain who was his successor as post-master.

Hard Times

Hard times hit Bedeque in 1827. That soring quite a number of vessels which had loaded potatoes for the Miromiohi returned. either with their cargoes unsold or the equivalent of thirty cents a. barrel for potatoes‘ which went begging on a. glutted market. 5111001118 T01‘ the small coasting schooner was often very profitable. but also fre- quently disastrous. In the May gale of 1827 the schooner Mary. be- longing to David Murray of Bedeque, and bound for the Miramichi with potatoes. was cast away near the entrance to that harbour in a blinding snow-storm with the crew saved but cargo and vessel lost. A vessel belonging to "Mr. Linklater ‘of Bedeque" which evidently meant Llnkletter Shore, Bedeoue Bay, was lost at the same time with a Di!!!- cnger. "Mr. Barclay and young Linklater", losing their lives. Captain Schumann's schooner Jane returning from the Mlrarniehi on May the

.twenty-third._msde customs declaration of fifty bushels of salt and

sundry articles saved from the Mary.

Typical of Bedeques trade with the great outside world, was the sailing of the brig Margaret (Capt. Smith) which cleared at Bedeque. June 18th, 1827, with a cargo for Liverpool of- i

439 tons of timber _ 8 1-2 dozen hand spiked 5 cords of lath wood. 28 spars and 40 oars.

The cargo was consigned by A. C. Campbell and loaded doubtless at wllmot on what is now part of the Leaky farm where the channel ian so close to the‘ shore that practically no wharf was necessary. Captain Baker in the schooner Two Brothers returned from the Mira- mlchl June ist with.‘ eleven barrels of flour and four anchors. having cleared from Bedeque, on April 28th with four hundred bushels of oats and four hundred bushels of potatoes. _,

_ The oldest and strongest church in 1825 Bedeque was from i800 till 182i a part of the great Prlncetown Presbyterian Parish. in which the stern discipline of the Covenahters made membership in the church a condition for baptism of children. and honour, integrity and devout- ness. with public acknowledgement of contrltaness cf heart for sins com- mitted. a "condition for membership. ' , Mr. Kell-‘a Ministry

The stern. yet. gentle, Rev. John Keir. preached _ lly once a month at Bedeque. He and his elders watched the flock carefully, and o. report in 181i. that some at Bedeque were guilty of “frolicklng". rc- sllted in t visit front elder Alexander Anderson. who reported later that “he talked with the wayward and they pcknowledged the im- propriety of their conduct and promised to walk more clrcumspectlv for time to some." On October 2i. i821. when the first Presbytery of Prince Edward island was constituted Mr. Keir lost a part of his con- gregation in the formation of the daughter charge of Richmond Bav ‘and Bedequeiinto which Rev.

giis GUARDIAN, ' i i New Water. Supply Development Planned O11 Union Road Fanns

Following la the report of the Commissioners of Sewers and Wat-

the annual" meeting last week of the City Council:

Extension! made during the Year were as follows: On North River Road, 533 feet of 4 inch cast iron water main and 362 feet of 8 inch sewer main were laid. On Orlebar Street, 440 feet of a inch cast iron watn- main and 435 feet of 8 inch sewer main. On North Street, 97 feet of 8/‘ inch galvanized water pipe. 0n Upper Queen Street. 72 feet of 4 inch caat iron water main. On Gay Avenue. 128 feet o! 4 inch cast iron water main and 128 feet or 5 inch se-wer main were laid.

Ono new hydrant was placed at the corner of McGill Avenue and North River Road. One hydrant was replaced at the corner of Cumberland Street and Grafton Street.

New main gates were installed on hydrants at Chg corners of Pownai and Euston Streets; Bl Avenue ‘and Euston Streets, and Hillsboro and Grafton Streets.

Fifty-four new water services connections and tirlrty-eight new sewer connections were made to our system.

The sum of 873,830.53 was col- lected in water rates durint.’ "iii year. The following is a compara- tive statement of revenue for the years 104d and 1047.

The net amount o1 revenue over expenditure turned over to the City Council was 827.8158,

Debenturoa Inued

To meet expenditures necessary in construction work the balance of the i946 authorization of deben- tures was issued’ 1.3 foilows- 86,- 000.00 Water Debentures and 87.00000 Sewer Debentures dated July 2nd. 1047.. Both issues were for twenty year! bearnig interest at 8% per annum. These debent- ures were sold at the very satis- factory figure of 101.76 to the Royal Bank of Canada.

AgLin we hava experienced an increase in demand-for water so that the, year 1047 saw an all time high in consumption. The total for the year was 622,137,400 gallons with the daily average use being 1.704.431 gallons.

This was supplied as foliowl:

Brackley Pumping ‘station 3fl.669.000 Ballorts.

Meipoque Pumping station -- 298,458,400 gallons.

Of the amount pumped from the Malpeque Station, 96.534000 lallonl were supplied by the Auxiliary Station at North River and 43.526.- 250 gallons were supplied by the new deep well which was put into operation last year at Maipeque Station. ~

In our report for the year 1948. we pointed out that because of in- creased consumption in .recent years present water supply source: could not much longer take care of water requirements and we must seek some new source of supply.

In order to proceed with this work. application was made to the Provincial Governmen‘ for Luth- ority to issue debentures in the amount of $100,000 dollars for the purpose of conducting such ex- ploration and survey as might be found necessary to discover ad- divonal sources o: water supply and add the same where practical to the system. No debentures have been issued under this authority as yet. but considerable prelimin- ary work has been accomplished on a new source. ‘

surveys Made

Early in the year extensive lur- veys were carried on by our en- glneer. Mr. 8.0. Matheson. on areas near Charlottetown suitable for our purposes, In April. the late Mr. W.S. lea, consulting engineer of Mdntreal. was brought here and, after studying with Mr. Mathoson the lreas involved, he recommen- ded the developing of sources at Union Road on farms owned by Mr. Harry Newman and _Mr. Ev- brett Grey.

SAINT JOHN. N. B. Jan. 31 — Joseph Ivan Doucette of Char- lottetown. arrested in Montreal on a breaking and entering charge, is wanted here in connection with a $3.000 Jewel robbery early this month, police said today.

The Jewels were stolen from the home of A. N. Carter here and Joseph Watterfieid of Saint Joim was later arrested and given a two-year penitentiary term for possession of stolen goods.

Part of the stolen goods were recovered.

being for years u City Councillor and for many years an auditor with this Department. since Mr. Moran's death last autumn, Mr. Macliean has rlnished the year's work and hLs certified all accounts correct.

Statements for your annual

printed report are attached here- with. Before closlng this report, we would like to pay tribute to the memory of Mr. W.S. Lea, whose death we have mentioned earlier in this report.

Mr. Lea. a native of Victoria. Prince Edward island. and brother of the late Waiter M. Lea. one time Premier of our Province, was one of Canada's outstanding fig- ures in the engineering field. I-iis passing has been a distinct loss. not only to us, but to many from coast to coast. Mr. Lea was an ex- pert on water and sewer disposal problems and the City of char-- lottetown was very fortunate in having his advice and guidance through the growth and develop- ment of our system.
