J toa Resolution containing a special

»” grant of 6000 to be apptopriated for Koads, Bridges and Wharfs througout the Island, according to an accompanying scale.

~~ ‘When the sum of £50 to be granted for, making new road from Burnt Point to St. Mary’s Road, Lot 61, where ordered by the Government, was read, Mr. Prowse remark- ed that an undue influence was sought to be brought to bear on the Government in favor of opening a new road in that locality in ae- cordance with the recommendation of the Surveyor General's report on that subject. But from his (Mr. Prowse’s) own personal knowledge having within the pest few months

attended several meetings held in that locality |

he would not hesitate to state that nine-tenths of the people most deeply interested, were

most anxivus to have that road. which was | already opened from the Wood Island road |

to St.Mary's Road, extended to Burnt Point | Bridge. The completion of which would | not cost over one-eighth the money that | would be required to open a road on the new | line alluded to in Surveyor General’s report. He (Mr. Prowse) also remarked on the | Special advantages to the settlers on the west end of Lot 63, that would follow the extend- | ing of the éaid road, already partly opened, | Which, if completed, by extending it three miles further would facilitate the privileges | of shipping very materially.

On motion of the Hon. Attorney General, the House went into Committee on the Bill tu consolidate and amend the several Acts relating to the Savings Bank. Hon. Mr. Henderson in the Chair.

was the best proof of ite popularity and use- fulness to those classes of the community who embraced the privileges which it af- | forded.

Hon. Mr. Laird expressed the hope that, ere long, kindred or brianeh institutions to that under consideration would be establish- ed in the adjoining Counties of Prince and King’s. He was pleased to see that the

Savings Bank was a success. Its object was | W- ORD, the following Goods: —

caléulated to inculcate principles of economy, the cultivation of which were great incen- tives to industry and independence.

Hon. Leader of the Government reviewed the working of the Savings Bank, and the heavy duties which it involved on the Treasurer and his Assistant. He also touch- ed upon the benefits of the institution, especially to the laboring classes ; the great encouragement it gave the youth, who ran with eagerness and pleasure to the Bank with their few shillings; servants also em- braced the privilege of placing their savings where they could call for the same in the hour of need, and the tendency of the insti- tution to encourage morality, as well as economy.

Hon. Mr. Davies, Mr. MeNeill, Mr. Brecken and the Hon. Mr. MeAulay also severally addressd the Committee on the subject, concurring generally with the senti- ments which had already been expressed relative to the successful operations of the Savings Bank, and the deep and lasting | p benefits which its establishment had con- | F ferred on the people.

After which progress was reported and the House adjourned.

On motion ot Mr. Brecken a bill to autho- rize the City Council to impose additional assessment in Charlottetown, and for other purposes therein named, was received and read.’

Mr. Reilly said that whilst he might ap- prove of some of the provisions of the bill,

et there were other clauses in it to which i purposed to offer his opposition. It was the duty of the Representatives for the City tu have called a public meeting of their con- stituents, and submit to them the purport of the bill before introducing a measure which contemplated increased taxation.

Dr. Jenkins approved of appealing to the

people before any additional tax would be evied. The duty of calling a public meet- ing, to test the matter, devolved, in his opinion, on His Worship the Mayor and his Council, and not on the Representatives for the City.

Mr. Brecken—It would be well for the House to go into Committee on the bill, and then enter more fully into its merits

It was then, on motion of Mr. Brecken, ordered that the bill be read a second time on Monday next.
