Passes Resolution After Discussion.

A committee meeting was held on Saturday afternoon in Bum- merside to deal with the oyster situation in Prince County. The committee consisted oi represent- atives of the fishermen appointed at a recent meeting in Freeland to lay the matter beiore the repre- sentatives of the Federal and Pro- vincial Governments. They were Messrs. Isaac B. Lewis, Lot 1i, Richard Murphy, Ellerslie, and Norman Thompson, Conway. v

Mr. John W. Palmer acted as chairman. Political representatives present were Messrs. W. Chester s. McLure, M. P., A. E. McLean, M. P., Hon. G. Shelton Sharp, Minister

W. H. Dennis, M. L. A, and J. F; Arnett.

After considerable discussion the following resolution was presented to be sent to the Minister oi Fish- eries, Hon. Alfred Duranleau:

"We the ‘fishermen of Lot 1o, 1i, 12 and 13 at a meeting in Free- land on Sept. 5th are strongly gp. IPOSCd to the leasing of the oyster

The questions brought before the meeting by the committee were: If these bottoms leased and those un- der leasing are barren, why do the fishermen pay out money to the Fisheries Department of the Fed- eral Government for a permit to fish on these bottoms for shell fish and other fish. If the Provincial Government lay claim to these bottoms why do they not collect the license tax from the fishermen that

Different opinions were express- ed by the members present. Mr. Dennis said this was a very serious matter. He advised having‘ the leases annulled and remuneration given to the leasee by the Govern- ment. Mr. Dennis agreed with Mr. McLure that had the lobster fish- ery not been protected it would not be as good as it lstoday.

‘Mr. McLean voiced the opinion that the leasing of the beds was causing a good deal of ill feeling land might cause the fishermen to go to extremes. Some fishermen

i

up their areas if they were recom-

a, limited number o, days during , pensed by the Government for their

iexpenses. A cooperative spirit lavas needed to bring back'the industry. The question was asked by Mr. McLure if any objection was raised when the agreement of 1928 was entered into in regard to the Oyg- ter beds. Mr. Lewis replied that it was not thought necessary. Mr. Dennis claimed there was nothing in FeEflrd t0 leasing done by the Liberal Government. He wished to know if the Federal Government submitted to the provincial Gov- ernment theinpolicy of leasing. Hon. Mr. Sharp quoting 1mm the agreement. showed that the Federal Government‘ have the con- trol of the beds. As to the argu- ment that it was the Conservatives who wantedto lease the beds, Mr. Sharp, after reading the agreement, asked Why did the Liberal Govem- ment go to the trouble of inserting certain clauses in regard to lens. ti"! into the agreement five years i180 if they did not have some idea of leasing? In accordance with the agreement the Provincial Govern- ment was informed of the policy of leasing the beds by Mr, Found. The idea of leasing was a simple method of developing the beds at a small cost. For the Pro- vincial Government to take over the developmen‘ of the beds would cost thousands of dollars. Most of the members, Liberal and Conserv- ative, held the same opinion, name- iv. that the leasing o! the beds was Mr. Found's policy and w“ done

1 to save money.

Mr. l... R. Allen thought Mr. Found should be told that the fishermen were not in favor of leas- ing.

Mr. McLure after going fully in-

: to the matter, pointed out that the

‘Government was desirous of pro- tecting the industry for the fish- ermen. The wishes of all the fish- ermen should be ascertained before anything definite was done.

Mr. Sharp said he would do all in his power to present the fish- ermen's claims but that as the oth- er’ parts of the province did not have the same grievance, the re- solutions should be confined to the immediirely vicinity of Malpeque Bay and its tributaries.

This advice was acted upon and the above resolution drawn up

which will as‘ forwarded to Hon. Ir. Duranhou without delay. I.

Montague Is

Halifax Herald of a recent issue. “Comparisons are wry often

% made between towns and oom-

mlmites in the extreme east of Canada and those in the western provinces. Much is written and spoken of "the progressiveneas, the lareezkless and the community spirit of‘ the golden west. of model towns and villages" until the lphraseology has become haokneyed. Down in Kings county lies Montague, perched astrlde a. small

, river in a setting as fairylke as

the illustration in a Hans Ander- son story book. Miontaguek popu- lation is less than 900 and its pros- perity and hustle, prospects and general well-being are s complete denial of the too easily accepted statement that western Canadian communities have a lien on these attributes. '

FARMING CENTRE

Montague moreover has a solid substanijality as the ceni-re °Y i!" unsurpassed farming district that no western town can match. Per- haps of equal importance to this iIoui-‘nshing beauty spot is the character and nationality 0i’ its citizens. The Scottish strain Pre- dominates, with a sprinkling 0f English. Those who tarry for awlfle with its hospitable inhabit- ants will meet the Msclntyres. the Campbells, tin: Nicholsona. iii! MncDQnalds, the Mal-docks, the Annears, the 11101111960115. ti"? P°°1°5 the Ives, Stewarts, the Meliishiii. and others oi honored Old-Coun- try ancestry.

Montague of itself makes no claim to pre-emlnenoe but its accomplish- ments convey more meaning than any self blaring of trumpets. One example of its sturdy faith and pm- gresslveness was quietly given early this spring. Amid the babel of press financTers and politicians about de- pression, financial ruin and dark predictions oi worse to come, the little town went into session over the construction of a mile of con- crete pavements. Ordinarily ‘the canylng out of such a project is not. a matter of great moment in any part of Canada, but when gen» eral circumstances are reviewed. it stands out as a real achievement.

START HOSPITAL

Tile broad ribbon 0f new T084 traverses the whole length of Mon- iagueh main street and overlaps the town at either end. It cost $30,- 000, more than half of which was contributed by the provincial and Dominion governments. Though this outside help was promised. the town council did hot wait the actual receipt of the money! but financed the undertaking on their own responsibility. The council had absolute charge of the work and w them Ls due the credit of the c011- ception and completion. The coun- cil members anc L. B. Mellish, Ma)’- or, Councillors John MacLeI-n.
