Expenses of the Board of Health
A citizen writes to The ExAmiNer as follows:
‘A subject of serious import to the citizens at the present time isthe question who is liable for the debt contracted on account of the smallpox epidemic,—the Government or the City Coun il? not being a lawyer, I don’t pretend to give a legal opinion, but common sense tells me that the Gov- ernment is liable, since the Board of Health is their creation, Please have this subject ventilated as it involves a matter of fifteen thousand dollars,”
It will interest our correspondent and perhaps, others, to read the following opinion of His Honor the Recorder on this point.
CHARLOTTETOWN, 20th April, 1836. To His Worship the Mayor.
Sir,~—I have carefully looked into the question as to the liability of the city for the expenses Con- nected with the late smallpox epidemic.
here is no doubt that the primary liability rests on the Executive Committee of three, chosen by the Board of Health. This is settled by the Statute 4 Victoria Chapter 5 Sec. 8, which enacts in respect of such Committee, ‘and who shall and may sue and be sued jointly, or the survivor or survivors of them for any contract or engage- ment entered into by them in fulfilment of their dutiés.”
All Boards of Hea!th in the Province, including that of Charlottetown, obtain their powers and authority from the Statute above referred to. The City Board of Health has no necessary connection with the governing body of the corporation ; in- deed many of the powers given to the Board of Health under. the Provincial Act are wholly be- yond the anthority of the Corporation and in the case of such ageneral epidemic as that of jast fall, the Corporation as such, under the
eneral powers given it by its Charter or Act of
neorporation, would be powerless to act in such @ way as alone would stay the spread of the disease. Rita vee
Again, it is undoubted that within a limited sphere the Corporation have authority over the health of the City, and to prevent “the spread of infectious or other diseases,” and their oificers or servants In such cases would look to the City for indemnification for outiay and expenses incurred, It is, therefore, extremely difficult to answer de- finitely asto whom the Executive Committee o the Board of Health should look to to reimburse them for each particular item of expenditure. The Statute 19 Victoria, Cap. 18, Sec. 3, expressly gives the City Board of Heaith “ the same powers and authorities as are now vested in the Boards ot Health for the different Counties of the Island. Now. one of the provisions of this Statute reads as follows:
‘And in order to defray the expenses incurred by the said several Boards of Health respectively, or their said committees in and about this section, or of any part of this act,the Lieutenant Governoris hereby authorized and empowed by, and with the advice of-Her Majesty's Council, to grant & warrant on the Treasurer of the Island for the payment thereof so goon a3 Lhe same shall be ascertained by the said Committees or Boards respectively, and duly certified to be correct.”
This enactment, taken with other parts of the Act, clearly shows that the burden of the cost is to be borne by the Province, out of its general revenues, and not by the district, city, or place wherin the epidemic existed. I see no reason why an exception in this particular should be made in the case of the city. It, asa city, has no control over the expenditure. It iscompulsory on the Board of Health to perform its duties under the Povincial Statute—not under the direc- tion of the city authorities—and all fines and penalties received under this Act for breach of any of its provisions must be paid “‘into the treasury of the Island for the use and support of the Government thereof.”
it appears to me that a distinction will have to be drawn between the acts of the officers of the Capes one instance, those of its own health officer—and the acts of the Board of Health and its medical officers appointed by the Pro- vincial Government. In the first case the Hability of the city exists at any rate as between it- self and its employes, and in the second case I am of opinion that the Board of Heaith in this city, acting under the powers conferred upon it by the Provincial Statute, not by the act incorporat- ing the city, must look for re-imbursement for all salaries, outlays and expenses to the Provincial Treasury. I would advise, therefore, that the Execative Committee after having duly certified all accounts rendered, forward them tothe Pro- vincial Government, and on conference therewith, classify and agree to the amounts to be borne by each respectively.
I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, R. R. FivZGERAxpD, Recorder. —————— ~<a Experimental Farms.
An experimental farm is to be estab- lished near Ottawa by the Dominion Goverament; and Professor Saunders advises that there be a “ sub-station ” for the Provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island, aud a sub station for Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, and British Co- jumbia respectively. Professor Saunders also advises that the central station shall have ia connection with it at least four hundred hundred acres of land, and the sub stations, at least two hundred acres each—except in the North- west Territories, *‘ where land is so abandact and cheap, there should be not less than a section of six hondred and fitty acres bilonging to each siation, so that there may be land sufficient to carry ou experiments in stock raising and forestry ou such a scale as the circum- stances of each case may require.
The whole should, he says, be under the coutrol of one head, kavuwan as direc- tor or chief, whose residence should be at the central station, and whose duty it should be to visit the sub-stations as oceasion required, and,in conference with the managers of the suvd-stations, arrange for the course and character of the work to be carried on at each, subject to the approva! of the Minister of Agriculture
At the central siction there would, Professor Saunders says, be required ia addition to ihe director, a superiaten- dent of agriculture, charged with the care of farm stock and the dairy and field experiments; a supericiendent of horticulture, who should conduct experi- ments io fruit aod vegetable growing, in determining the vitality and purity of veeds, aud have charge of the nursery aud propagating houses; a superinten- dent of forestry, who should direct all forestry experiments, and inquire into all questions relating to tree culture aud tree protection in the Dominion; an en- tomologist, whose duty it should be to investigate the babits of insects destruc- tive to farm aud garden crops, fruit, etc., as Well as those affecting animals, with the view of testing such remedies as may be available tor their destruction; a botanist, to whom should be entrusted (ve special duty of investigating the
aout dove to field and garden crops, ruit and forest trees, by the lower forms of vegetable life, such as fuagi, rusts, — etc., to study the character aud my j » : .
. ei growth of the noxious weeds
rey ; ; rime wide ae in all parts of the Dominion, their Seen of devising meaus for

should also take charge of the botanic garden or arboretum, and of that portion of the central museum illustrating veget- able products; a chemist, to whom should be referred all questions relating to agricultural chemistry, such as analy- ses of fertilizers, the determination of the chemical constituents of any substances which it may be desirable to use in ex- perimental work in feeding,—to make aualyses of milk in connection with ex- periments in dairying, of wheats, to de- termine their relative quality for milling, aud to have charge of all other subjects requiring special chemical investigation in connection with the work being carried ou at any of the stations; a veterinary surgeon, whose services should be avail- able when required forthe treatment of diseases of animals at any of the stations, and whose duty it should be to study such diseases and prepare and submit a yearly report thereon.
The officers required at each of the sub-stations would, in his opinion, be a superiotendent of agriculture and a superintendent of horticulture. The superintendent of agriculture to be chief of the station, subordinate only to the director, and responsible to him Mr the proper government of the station and for the due performance of al! work direct- ed to be undertaken. The superinten- dent of horticulture and all other em- ployes to be subordinate to the superin-
tendent of agriculture, and under bis
direction,—the outlying stations to report to the director as often as re-
quired, and the reports of the officers of all the stations to be presented through the director to the Minister of Agricu! ture,
These experimental farms wil!, if estublished, be a result of the report of Mr. Gigault’s Parliamentary Committee of 1884. Acting on that report, the Minister of Agriculture commissioned Professor Saunders, of Loudon, QOat., to visit the experimental farms of the Unit-
ed States. Having done so, Professor Saunders advises, as above. The adoption of the scheme will
necessitate a large outlay of public mouey ; but the development of agricul- ture is a matter in which public money may well be prudently expended.
Heroism of an Islander.
EXPERIENCES IN THE PrERRIBLE SAUK KAPIDS CYCLONE Tur ‘‘C. ¥. Harris ” mentioned below is a son of Mr. W. H. Harris of the Post Office in this city. The extract is from the Daily Review Press of Indianapolis, which gives a full description of the terrible cyclone by which the town of Sauk Rapids was destroyed and sixty-two persons killed :
“The most remarkable and thrilling experience that any eye-witness or survivor of the terrible affair encountered was that of ©. F. Harris and W. R. Mullet, insurance men of Minneapolis. These gentlemen are the agents of the American Life Insurance company and of the Minnesota Mutnal Benefit association, and were in Sauk tapids engaged in soliciting business. They had taken a policy on one business man and arranged with Dr. Jenks to go and make an examination of him, and at the time of the visit of the cyclone were in Shorber’s drug store, talking insurance to the proprietor and to Hunniwell, the banker. While engaged in the effort of effecting an insur- ance on the tives of these gentlemen, Edgar Hull of St. Cloud and E, F. Halburt, the insurance man of St. Paul, came in. About that time the cyclone announced its approach by a few preli- minary warnings in the shape of a few sharp re- ports and a heavy, rumbling noise. The attention of the party being attracted, they all rushed to the street, and there beheld the rapid coming of the funnel-shaped monster and closely, observing the direction it was travelling, started away from it, running as fast as their legs could carry them. After running for a block Harris looked back to see what had become of his partner Mullett, who is a cripple, and found that he was several hun- dred feet behind, and making but little headway. Here true heroism was exhibited by Harris, such as is seldom witnessed. Fosgetting, hinsel’ en- tirely he nobly started to rescue his friend and partner. Mallett was but a short distance ahead of the huge destroying funnel when Harris grasped him by the hand and Lurried him along, both scudding before it. They turned and ran to the Centrel house, gaining an entrance and closing the door after them. Inside the hotel they made for the dining room, and just then the front of the build- ing began to go, the windows giving in first, soon followed by the total collapse of the entire struc- ture. When the pair reached the dining room door it was locked, or else insuch shape it could not be opened, and they frantically grabbed at another aboe adjoining, which luckily opened at their touch. it proved to.be the stairs to the cei- lar, and Harris pushed Mullett in, and he safely reached the bottom. He was followed by Harris, but before the latter could get down the steps the entire building came down on top of them, Harris was knocked down and covered up by some falling mass, and lay buried beneath it ior a mo- ment, but it appeared to him to be hours. He freed himself by a desperate effort, and soon re- leased himself from his living tomb, and gazed with horror upon the surroundings and the scene of death and devastation which he saw. He found Muilett standing a short distance off, brushing the dirt from his clothes, and apparently but little the worse for the terrible adventure. Although both were bruised and bleeding, they escaped with but little injury, and at once began to look about to assist others less fortunate,

Spring.
BY MRS, A. D. MACLEOD.
The flat hath gone forth ;— From Winter's nerveless grasp The frozen chains unclasp,
King Freedom rules our North.
From out his long repose Fair Ocean sings again ; Low wail, or sweet refrain
Iu every breeze that blows.
Ah cruel Ocean, sing ! Upon thy furrowed shore Leal hearts and loved, of yore Beat high in life’s young spring.
Flash out, thou sportive wave! Upon thy glistening tide’ They dared a world so wide;
And found for fame—a grave.
See! from the listening hilis The whitened mantle glides ; | Whilst ‘puifed in full spring tides Are lost the murmuring riils,
Ring out, ye woodland notes! frill through the bright’ning blue, Loud swell the anthem new
W hich nature heavenward floats.
For zephyr fanned river, For, gently swaying trees ; Voice, in each ing breeze The praise of life’s Great Giver.
Now firelights lurid gleam
Gives place to greening slope
W here youth, miraged of Hope, Sees golden vistas beam,—
Hails in each star of eve, Each lustrous, length’ning day Of joyous roundelay, :
A world where none may grieve.
Blessed morning of the year ! Lone sickness greets the voice Which waketh to rejoice,
From high to lowliest sphere.
The tiller of the soil Goes forth, in purpose strong: For Spring’s exultant song Wreathes round the head of toil.
Earth, nurture well the seed ; ’ Sun, swell the golden grain; Heaven, sap the thirsty plain ;—
Til Plenty answers need.
Breathe out, Oh genial Spring ! Thy teachings over all; ‘villi Heaven’s glad peace shall fall Where Earth's vain tumults ring.
Then shall the beauteous story On Nature’s wondrous page, Light each succeeding age,
And flood the world with glory.
