I regret to inform you that the Repre-

sentation Case, which was argued before the Privy Council last summer, has been decided adversely to this Province. It is however satisfactory to know that this question has been finally decided by the highest Court in the realm. "The matters oi' the increased Provincial Subsidies and the Distribution of the Halifax Fislicries Award have not yet re- ceived any dciinite decision from the Fed- crnl Government, having been retarded owinp: to the Federal and Provincial Elections. ltrust, however, that these matters will soon be adjusted to the satis- faction of this Province.
