Saturday. April 22ad. STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES COURT. A bill relating to the jurisdiction of the

Stipendiary Magistrate's Court in the city

of Charlottetown was brought up from the

House of Assembly by Hon. Mr. Brecken

and was passed through the several stages

without amendment.

LAND PURCHASE ACT.

again referred to committee was reported agres d ta

\ bill to amend the Land Purchase Act 7. was i

crIrvy OF CHARLOTTETOWN.

Ilon. Mr. Dedd, on moving for the nd reading of a bill to amend an act

to incorporate th City of Chariottetowa, said the subject had been brought to the notice of the Legislature by a memorial of Mayor and Common Comneil praying ran ext nsion of power to levy taxes in order to.inerease their revenue. By the present law they could only tax real estate extent of 74 per upon the rental. Besides this the citizens had to ts ;

pay school and other taxes, I'he Council ilso had power to tax horses and carriage

the

to the cent.

vod that tax was collected one year, but for severai years it had been lost sight of, is ‘the dog tax. He believed horses and earriages should be taxed, and rable amount of revenue could be derived from that soure2 as well as from dog tax. He believed there was better order in the city years ago when they had only three or four policemen, than there was now, for cows, pigs, aud dogs were often allowed to run at large. There was a petition upon the table, signed by upwards of 600 citizens, praying that this bill might be passed. He (Mr. Dodd) was the only representative in this House of the City and Royalty, and he eceupied a peculiar position. He believed the act required to be amended so as to give the City Council power to raise more revenue for improvements; but at the same time , large part of the revenue they had was

t expended as it should be. This bill however, would confer unlimited power of taxation. The goods upon merchants’ shelves, household furniture, the wateh in a man’s poeket, bank stock, everything would be liable to taxation, They might put on 25 percent. or any amount they thought proper, and he thought it was too much power to give any City Council. At the same time he wished to see the city improved, and was willing to give them more power than they had. The City Council made a great mistake in reference to the city gas lamps. They had a contract with the company at 20.00 per lamp,but when coal rose they wanted 24.00 The Council would not give that and the lamps were not lighted. Subsequently, when the citizens desired the lamps to be lit they made a contract with the company to take gas by the metre, and now they were paying $40.00 per year for each of the 73 lamps. They were now in debt between $3,000 and $4,000 to the Gas Company. The expensesof the city were increasing every year, and many of the merchants’ had enough to do to pay their taxes and live. He intended to submit an amendment to exempt goods upon mer- chants’ shelves and household furniture from taxation. The bill so amended, would give the City Council power to raise as much revenue as they would require for many years tocome, He would rather impose an income tax, and it would be far more just, for as the taxes were levied and proposed to be levied, merchants had to bear, and would bear the burden of taxation, while men with large salaries paid little or nothing. Under the bill all incorporated companies would be taxed, and vacant lots in the city, which were pe¥ing next to nothing, could bef taxed. Perhaps three town lots were taxed for $100 rental, while a man with a quarter jot and a small house upon it was taxed for $70 rental.

Hon. Mr. McGill was of opinion that to tax merchants’ goods upon the shelves was making an invidions distinction... An income tax would be more general and less objectionable for professional men re- ceiving perhaps, $5,000 or $6,000 a year and-men receiving large salaries, who now paid little or no tax, would have to pay their proportion of the city revenue as

merchants. The City Council had not availed themselves of the horse and carriage tex which would have yielded t least $2,000. <A large portion of the taxes were not collected, and perhaps the reason was that they were levied upon the householders instead uf the owners of property. Tenants were constantly mov- ing, and by that means the taxes were lost. vacant lots should also be taxed. Per- haps the city revenue was vot as well expended as it might be, but the accounts would compare favorably with the Gov- ernmentaccounts upon the table. With regard to the gas lamps, perhaps the Council had committed an error in judg- ment, but no improper motives could be attributed to them. He thought there were sufficient guard thrown around the powers of taxation conferred by the bill, as a certain number of Councillors would require to be present at a meeting before they could put the law in operation. He would support a proposition of general income tax. Many of those who had large incomes were paying little or nothing.

Hon. Mr. Munn considered that the City Corporation should have greater power of taxation, as there were many improvements required in the city. He believed that in a few years municipal corporations would be established in the country, and it would, perhaps, be un- reasonable for country members to op- pose this bill. He felt, however that the bill would operate unfairly, but the amendment which his honor from the city intended to introduce would remove the objection. It would be unfair to tax mer- chants’ importations. Incorporated com- panies would be taxed according to their dividends, and it there were no dividends there would be no taxes imposed, but merchants would be taxed whether they had any profits or not.

Hon. Mr. Walker would support the bill if the amendment referred to were adopted,otherwise he would oppose it. goods upon merchants’ shelves were to be taxed who was to value them ?

flon. Mr. Strong said it should be taken for granted that the Mayor and Council who applied for the bill knew the requirements of the city ; but they must remember that a petition of 600 citizens, many of them influential gentlemen, was upon the table. He considered that the principle of the bill was sound: The citizens should have control of the city, and not be interfered with by the Gov- ernment or Legislature; but it appeared the citizens wanted the Goverament still to hold the reigns and say what the cor- poration should or should not do. The ground of objection taken by the citizens was that they had not the right men in the right place. If they had the right kind of men in the City Council they would not object to giving them the power the bill would confer , but they had the power in their own hands, and if they had not the right men it was their own fault. If they would not take an interest in the civie elections, or could not elect proper men, then the citizens were not fit to govern themselves, and let corporation should be abolished, and let the Government take the management of their affairs. When compared with other towns that Charlottetown was very light- ly taxed. Halifax was taxed $19.10, per head of the population ; St. John $15.50 ;

F réderickton, which was the nearest in point of equality, $11.60 ; Charlottetown,

2.00" Charlottetown was able to pay, as much as Fredericton, perhaps more.

Was aiso

a consldac

Ww i as

If

Charlottetown required, and must have improvements, and the citizens would have to put their hands in their pockets as the people of Fredericton had done. He understood that they did not intend so increase the taxes but to equalize them, which was doubtless necessary. In almost every other city there was an ius come tax. Those in receipt ot large salaries should contribute to the support and improvement of the city. In some pluces there was a poll tax, but here a large elass went free. The City Coureil should be more diligent in collecting the tuxes which they had power to impose. [t was evident that they were not doing their duty in this respect. The bill would impose a tax upon Bank Stock, and, therefore, country members, whose constituents held sueh stock, were in- terested in the measure, He did not think it was fair to tax bank stock held by persons in the country. They already paid for protection, for the cost of insur- ance was deducted from the profits.

Hon. Mr. Dodd was willing to give the City Council more power of taxation, but was opposed to levying obnoxious taxes. He was not in favor of taxing bank stock, but if such a tex were im- posed stockholders in the country had as much right to pay it as those in the town had because they derived as mach benefit from it, and they had their property pro~ ceeted at the expense of the city. The fire department was very expensive. The new engine had cost $6,800, and had been partly paid for by private subserip- tion. There was a large amount of public property in the city, and the Gov- ernment had only granted the paltry sum of $300.00 to the fire department. If the publie property were taxed in the same proportion as private property, it would yield a considerable revenue t« the city.

The bill was then read the second time and referred to committee—Hon. Mr. Reid in the chair.

Hon. Mr. Dodd submitted his amend ment toexempt goods and household fur- niture from taxation, and it was adopted.

Hon. the President said the Legislature should be very careful in granting such extensive powers, as the bill would confer. The people of Charlottetown, before the city was incorporated, were constantly complaining that they did not get their share of the appropriations, and they were still manifesting a desire to get their hands into the public chest. The petition of 600 citizens should be respeeted, but they appeared to be more favorable to the bill than when it was introduced. Citizens who owned a large amount of property did not object to the bill, and it would cause them to take more interest in the civie elections.

Hon. Mr. McDonald considered, that the citizens had a right to tax themselves but they had noright to tax the country, as they would do by taxing bank stock.

Iion. Mr. Munn presumed the act would not be put in force till atter the next election for City Councillors. With that understanding he would support the bill, but otherwise he would oppose it. He thought the bill should contain a clause to prevent tavern keepers from becoming City Councillors,

Hon. Mr. Dodd did not see the force of the arguments used by his honor from Murray Harbor with regard to Bank stock. The stock of all incorporated com- panies should be placed upon the same footing.

Hon. Mr. McDonald contended that, as holders of Bank Stock had to pay for insurance, and did not require the prox tection of the Fire Department, they had no right to pay taxes. Merchants’ goods were more exposed to danger from fire, but according to the amendment they were to be exempt from taxation.

Hon. Mr. Walker said merchants’ goods |

were also insured. His honor had better withdraw his stock from the Charlottetown Banks, and invest it in Souris, as an act had been passed several years ago to ins corporate banks there, ‘

Hon. Mr. Strong agreed with his honor from Murray Harbor that a tax upon Bank stock was not equitable. A man living in Summerside, and contributing to the support of that town, and having stock in the Banks in Charlottetown, would be doubly taxed. It had been said that the inhabitants of Charlottetown paid a large part of the revenue, but he be- lieved they did not pay more to the gener- al revenue than the same number ‘of in- habitants in the country. He could not see that the inhabitants of Charlottetown had any speeial claim upon the general revenue, except what they might have on account of the public buildings being therein, and they had always received some assistance from the revenue upon that account.

The House was then resumed and pro- gress was reported.

Hon. Mr. Strong said, in reply to a question. by Hon. Mr. McGill, that a copy of the report of the Board of Works would be laid upon the table, if one could be made before the session would close. It would take the Secretary several days to make a copy, and he regretted that his honor had not asked for it atau ‘earlier period of the session.

Adjourned until Monday next at eleven o'clock.

Monday, April, 24th.

A bill respecting the jurisdiction of the Stipendiary Magistrate’s Court, and a bill +> amend the Land Purchase Act, 1875, were severally read the third time and passed. A bill for vesting in the town of Summerside the land and premises there- in mentioned, was brought up from the House of Assemhly by Hon. Mr. Yeo. Also by Hon. Mr. Sullivan, a bill entitled ‘The Official Oath Act, 1876,’ and a bill for changing the plaee for holding the Sheriff's Court in Charlottetown for pur- poses of elections.

CITY OF CHARLOTTETOWN,

A bill to amend an Act to incorporate the City of Charlottetownwas again re- ferred to a committee,

Hon. Mr. Dodd regretted that the House of Assembly had not agreed to the amendment made by this House. While he wished to see the power of the City Council increased, he could not sup- port the bill as it originally came from the House of Assembly. Gentlemen who were anxious for the passing of the bill said, they did not want to tax merchants’ goods, butif that was the case,*why did they want the power todoso? The city revenue had been so badly expended heretofore, and the powers of taxation were so great under this bill that it was impossible to say what length they would go. If 74 per cent. was not sufficient why not ask for what would be suffici- ent instead of asking for unlimited power ?

flon. Mr, Walker agreed with his honor from tho city. To tax goods was quite dif- ferent from taxing Bank Stock. How could a man coming into a shop, tell what the goods upon the shelves were worth? Stock might remain on hand for years and wac itto bo taxed every year? He would not support the bill without the emendment, It was class legistation of the worst kind. lie would not object to a reasonable in- crease of taxation for city improvements. If the corporation had made good use of the funds and power they had, there would be ensouragement to give them more, ‘The late Mr. Hutchinson, first Mayor of Charlottetown, made more improvements with tie. small amount of funds at his disposal than had

“ever been made since.

Hon. the President would be surprised if merchants and dealers would not oppose this bill, for it would bea great hardship to have goods—perhaps the same goods—taxed year afler year. Hehad no doubt but the City Council were in need of funds, but they were asking for most unreasonable power. He was surprised that the measure had reached

its present stage.

Hon. Mr. Strong had never heard of goods being taxed in the manner proposed by this Bill, and he thought those who introduced the measure should have provided some practicable means of carrying 1 into effect. There was some consistency in # property tax, or an income tax. It would be quite consistent to tax a man’s profits, but he could not see any consistency In taxing a merchant's goods upon his shelves. In giv. ing power to incorporated companies it was the duty of the Legislature to know how those powers were to be carried into effect, but he could not see how a man could go into a store and ask a merchant what quans tity of goods he imported. The goods might be of a very perishible nature, and might be

a very poor man. If he were satisfied that the principle was sound and pracuc ible he might be induced to support the measure. [t was said that merchants should be taxed because their goods required protection from fire and otherwise, but were they not taxed

already for that purpos »? If goods were to be taxed upon the principle explained to him this morning it was very Unsatisfactory. There was no soundness in it. To tax a

man’s proflis would be a sound principle; and young men—clerks in stores, and others —had aright to contribute to the city re- venue. The Corporation of Summerside were asking for a similar privilege, but as far as he was concerned, he would not grant it to them till they would show what they meant by it. Ifthey would show that there was consistency and soundness in it he would not oppose granting it. Ne did not think that 600 petitioners, many of them in- fluential gentlemen, would have signed a pe- tition against the measure if they hal not good reason for doing so. At the same lime if he were satisfled that the power proposed to be granted by the bill would not be ex- ercised in any improper way, or Upon an unsound principle, he would not oppose the measure.

Hon. Mr. McGill observed that there was a great diversity of opinion avith respect Lo the measure both in the Legislature and out- side, There was a petition of 600 citizens against it, and another petition equally re- spectable, was presented to the House of Assembly in favor of it. He admitted that the mode of taxation proposed was unusual, Ile would rather see an income tax levied. Still, howeyer, he would be inclined to let the bill pass,and if the citizens had not con- fidence in the present City Council Jet them go to the polls and putin others. It would be the means of causing the people to take more interest in civic aflairs. Though he considered the bijl objectionable in some respects, yet he did not intend to it.

Hon. Mr. McEwen said that considering the restrictions upon the Councillors, they might allow the Bill to pass. It would not go into operation until after the election of Councillors in August. If the Council would go to extremes the remedy was not far away, and if the Act would he found op- pressive it could soon be repealed. The City required improvements which could not be made without funds. There were some Objectionable features in the bill but with the the guards thrown around it there was not much to fear.

Hon. Mr. Walker said it was true that there was an election of Councillors every year, but in one year a great deal of ipjury might be done. As to pulling in better men he did not know that any better could be chosen. Whathe objected to was giving suc power to any councillors. Jt was pre-- posterous to place itin the power,of any

proper.

Hon. Mr, Dodd said the City Couucil were asking for more power than the Government had. He was sorry to have to oppose the bill, for he was willing to give the Corpor-

should be some limit. He would rather give them power to tax real estate 15 per eent, than aliow them to tax goods.

liberal in giving to those who were unfor- tunate. If the Councillors would collect the taxes upon horses, carriages and dogs which were not so objectionable, there would not be so muc.a necessity for this bill. He was opposed to the bill in its present shape, and would therefore moye that the President take the chair.

Hon. Mr. Walker moved an amendment that the President take the chair, the chair~ man report progress and ask fur leave to sil again. The question on the amendment

reported accordingly.

NONPAREIL CARRIAGE FACTRY

AND

AGRICULTURAL WORKS!

Good Work Triumphant!

NOTWITHSTANDING the Dull Times,

the demand for my make of Carriages, Sleighs, Threshing Machines, Fanners, «&c., in King’s County, has rendered it necessary, in order to supply the rapidly increasing demand, that | should extend my business into that County. Ihave, therefore, at the request of a large nember of my friends and patrons, opened a BRANCH FACTORY AT CARDIGAN BRIDGE, which is conducted by a competent mechanic, who served his time in the ** Nonpareil,” and has since worked for several years in the United States—a mechanic who knows his business, and has such an interest in the work as to allow nothing but a faithful job to pass. He and several competent workmen will aitend to the wants of the public in that County.

The stock used in the construction of the work will be of the best imported, viz:— American Hickury, Oak, Ash, Elm, Bass, Whitewood, etc., etc. the best English refined; and Norway and Swedish iron will be used for the parts re quiring extra strength and durability.

Also, in connection with the said branch is a PAINTSHOP, which is conducted bya first-class carriage-painter, who will attend to the painting of new and second-hand work for the public.

N. B.—Persons wishing work done in the Carriage, Sleigh, or Farming Implement line, will please call,and they will be treated courteously and fairly dealt with. All kinds of REPAIRING, including Mowing Machines, done. Prices Moderate; Terms Easy.
