RAILWAY. lion. Mr, Strong would like to make a ing commentary upon the discussion it would be closed. It had been said

itthey had not handed over the Road as irla in the season as it should have been, nd that they, or their Engineer, or some ty, were bungling. Mr. Swinyard said »port that he hod received the greats

t courtesy from the Local Government. He ume to the Island, and without being sent r, on the 26th of May, The Dominion Gov- rnment did not receive any information m the Government of the Island that the sad would be ready to be opened early in the season, and must have received their nformation through the press. Mr. Swin- yard said in his letter of June ts, that by giving special attention to the part of the oad between Charlotietown and Summer- ide, itmight soon be ready to be opened; but Mr. Gregory said in his letter of June th, that it would take three months to coms lete the line. At the same date Mr. Swin- yard telegraphed to the Minister of Public Works that, afler carefu] enquiry, the Local ‘overnment bad concluded that the con- tractors were not in a position to hand over lioad before September, Up to that

me Mr. Swinyard appeared to acquiesce in the arrangemgnt. On the 6th of August he returned to the Island, and wished to know when the Loca! Government would be pres pared to hand over the Road, or any pertion of it, yet it appeared from a communication from the Under Seeretary of State, that he did not receive his appointment till the 26th August, and the Government could not be iiamed for his arrival here prior to that late, It would be remembered thet Mr. Loyd said it would be impossible to have the lidad completed on the 7th September, al. though Mr. Gregory bad hinted thatit would would be completed atthattime. The Local Government had no right to interfere up to the 7th September, much less had the Do- minion Government a right todo so, yet it would be seen by the correspondence that early in August Mr. Swinyard bad ordered the men to strip two of the passenger cars ind coavert them into “ something like sleep- ing and Hotel Car arrangements.” What right had Mr. Swinyard to interfere with the contractors atthattime? That circumstance was the beginning of unpleasantness be- tween the contractors and Mr, Swinyard, Mr. Swinyard subsejueutly visited Ottawa, and on his return, Mr. Owen said, in a letter dated 31st October, that. “The Government are willing and desirous to give you (Mr. Swinyard) every facility for examining the work while under construction,” Again Mr. Swinyard interfered with what he had no control over, (page 33, correspondence) which brought him and Mr. Boyd into collis sion. The most important question, how. ever, was whether the Government were justified in taking the Road off the hands of the contractors in what had been called an unfinished state. The whole question hinged upon the contract, and Mr. Boyd was to be the Umpire between the Government and the contractors, The Dominion Government were to take the work, They knew what the contract was, and no alteration had been made since we entered the Dominion, im the contract great power was given to Mr. Boyd. Hecould make such alterations and amendments as he considered would be for the benefitof the Island, subject to the ap~ proval of the Governor in Counci]l. As soon Mr. Boyd gave his certificate that

t was completed, it was the bounden

{the Government to pay the money,

not done without grave and cares sideration. When the Government

Me. Swinyard had peinted out certain omissions, the reply of the contractors was, “ we have nothing to.lo with Mr. Swinyard.” If their honors would look at the question in a legal point of view, they would see that there was ne other eourse for them but to take the Koad and pay the money. They might say they had been taken in—that Mr,

for loading ships with grain in Georgetown | in the expectation of the Koad being op med, He considered that the Local Government were to blame for giving the Dominion Gov- ernment to understand that the Road would be ready on the 8th December. A success | sion of snowstorms had prevented the Koad from being kept open, and he did not think | it would be prudent to attempt to open it} now, though he believed some parties thought

it should be opened even if it cost S200.000,

When one party said the Road was coms

pleted, and another said it was not, some Iny

dependent party should have been chosen to

decide the question.

Hon. Mr. McGill »d that he had not arrived at that degree of Christian perfection which would enable him to extend that chars itv to the Government which his honor from Bedeque had recommended. His honor ha declined to answer the question he (Mr. Me- Gill) hadJasked respecting the correspondence and he was therefore forced to come to the conclusion that a portion of it had been suppressed. Mr. Swinyard had been chargs ed with interfering with matters with which he had no concern; but if all the c

tion. Mr. Walker said that when the bill was before the House they were told that 25 per cent additional advalorem duty

would pay the interest of the cost of the | Koad, and that was what he had calculated |

upon.

lon. Mr. Strong’reminded the House, that | Mr. Boyd haa given his certificate that the | Road was finished, with certain exceptions, | ;

am- Act, the Land Purchase

mendments to the Purchase

1874,

Act, 1875 :—

Whereas the Government of Prince Ed- ward Island is entitled to receive from the Government of the Dominion of Canada the sum of eight hundred thousand do! lars, under the terms on which this Island became con- federate with Canada, for the purpose of en- abling the Government of this Province to purchase the Township Lands held by the Proprietors in this Isjand,

And Whereas, it is very desirable to cons vert the Leasehold Tenures into Frechold Estates, upon terms just and equitable to the renants as well as the Proprietors.

Be it enacted by the Lieutenant Governor, Council and Assembly, as follows:

I. The terms and expressions hereinafter mentioned, which in their ordinary signii- cation have a more confined or different mean-

incorporated in

pondencd had been published it would pros | aning, shall,in this Act, exeept where the

bably throw some light upon the interfers ence. He (Mr. McGill) was glad to hear his honor the Leader of the Government in this House say that he did not blame the Do- minion Government. Ilis honor was in

nature of the provisions in the context shali exclude such construction, be interpreted as follows: “Proprietors” shall be construed to include and extend to any person for the time

error respecting the date of Mr. Swinyard’s

appointment, for in the very first paragraph |

of his Report he referred to instruetions he had received on the [6th May. The letter his honor had referred to was merely an timation to the Loca] Government that he

ins

had been appointed. It was the first time he (Mr. McGill) had ever heard of a Railway being byilt without a_ specification. The Engineer had power tO make alterations as

he pleased, and the alterations he made were generally in the interest of the All the trouble that had arisen was the

ying

re=

an incompetent Engineer,

of emp

'¢ and he blamed the Jate Gevernment for not}

discharging him. His honor had said that he would cling to the interests of the people of this Island, butif he had done so he would

have protested against taking the Railway iT the hands of the contractors with work to the amount of $100,000 vet to be done, and which would have to be done at the expens

of the people of this Island.

Hon. Mr. Dodd said that many others be- lieved, as he did, that the Railway Biil was carried by deception. From what he had seen and heard; he did not think he could ever believe anythihg else. While the bill was before the House a lot of lobbyists were around, but as soon as it was passed they disappeared. Those were the men who grab-

nn?

As to Mr. Bovd, he might be a very clever man, but if he passed the wire fence as good

! sufficient, he gave proof that be was not a competent Engineer. As to the Road,

believed it was almost impossible to keep itopen at the time it was handed over, and itit had been kept open there would be very little for it to do.

Hon. Mr. Munn had very little confidence | in the Government of that day, after the Rail- (way Bill wascarried. Then they changed | the contract, in violation of the law, in re- | ferenee fo the fence. Still he never had such | a low opinion of the Government as he had | this evening, when his bonor from Bedeque told them they were forced to take the Rails way when Mr. Boyd told them it was finish» ed. How were they bound, or how was it that they had to submit to the decision of thatone man?

Hon. Mr. Strong said the correspondence would show that Mr. Swinyard’s objections were entertained and considered—that they were handed to Mr. Boyd and answered. It was said that the matter sbould have been referred to a third party, but that would have been the case if provision had not been made otherwise. The original contract said that Mr. Boyd wasto be thesole judge. He did not say that it was right that such should be the case, but three Governments had acted upon it. Mr. Boyd had given his certificate to the contractors, and therefore it was impossible for. the Government to withhold more from them than he had auth- orized them to withhold for omissions. As to a walking specification, dc., the New York Engineers said the specification was drawn up in a very clever and workmanlike manner, Every alteration Mr. Boyd made was referred to the Governor in Council tor confirmation. Mr. Swinyard thought more of the wire fence than he (Mr. Strong) did, but he suggested seme alterations in it, and Mr. Boyd said they were made. In reply to his honor from the city, he would say that he was not aware that the Railway would bring the Island into Confederation. He had given a pledge that he would not support Confederation without appealing to the peo- ple, and he would be ashamed to do, indis rectly, what he wotld not do in a direct manner, As to a portion of the correspond- ence being suppressed; it was published in Ottawa in the appendix to Mr, Swinyard’s report, and how then could the Government suppress any portion of it?

fon. Mr. Walker said the bill would not have been carried without the support of his late colleague an‘ himself,and if they thought it would be the means of bringing the Island into Confederation they would not have sups ported it. Perhaps Mr. Boyd knew his duty, but the numerous curves in the Road were very unsatisfactory to the genera] public.

fion. Mr. Bulger said the Railway was a great boon to the people in the eastern part of the Island. Mr. Boyd had been engaged by the Government which was led by Mr. Pope, and the Opposition of that day said he wasa partyin the contract. If that was the case, and if he was incompetent, why did not the succeeding Government discharge him?

jion. Mr. McEwen was not disposed to charge Mr. Boyd with incompetency, but did not think he was as willing as he was com- petent. The Road was to be first class, and he did net think any member of the House would say it was a first-class Road. He believed it was not the Road we bargained for. He had been told before the Railway was mooted that a Railway was to be built to bring the Island into Confederation, and he believed that was the main object in in- troducing the bill.

Hon. Mr. Balderston said it was evident that Mr. Boyd had not made a proper in- spection of the Road, and the Government were to blame for taking it off the hands of the contractors afler the snow came, and without proper inspection. Mr. Swinyard’s report said the fence was not according to | the specification. It was even condemned | by Mr. Boyd, who directed certain improve- ments to be made, but it was improved very little. He did not blame Mr. Boyd for the | curves, nor for the spruce sleepers, but he | blamed the Government, whose servant he was. Ifthe wire fence originated with Mr. Boyd, as had been said, it should condemn him in the eyes of the Government Either he was incompetent, or he tried to deceive the Government and the people. It was a

iece of despotism to over-rule an act of the Leselotare: He believed the Dominion Government were remiss Road opened now,
