!ihe Local Government of the day, and said

Breakwater at Tracadie.

Pursuant to notice, a public meeting was held at Corran Ban Bridge, Grand Tracadie, on the 18th inst. The meeting was called to order by appointing Philip Hughes, Keq., Chairman, and the undersigned Secretary.

The Chairman in a few well chosen re- marks stated the object of the meeting, being the necessity of a Breakwater at Tracadie Harbor and other wants of the district,

Mr. Peter Campbell being called upon, said that in the year 1854 this Harbor had water enough in the channel to admit an English gunboat, that made it during that summer a coaling station, and considered the Dominion Government might expend a suflicient sum in order to make the harbor what it has been in former years, and stat- ed that he had every confidence in the in- tegrity of the Government to carry out the wishes of the people.

The chairman then called on Senator Hay- thorne, who said that it afforded him great pieasure to be present at the meeting, and it would be a labor of love on his part to do anything that would be a benefit to this section of the country, and consequently would use whatever influence he might possess in order to promote their welfare. The fact alone, said he, of a gunboat mak- ing a coaling depot of the harbor, was a strong reason that the Government should do something towards restoring it to what it naturally was. He then spoke at some length on the means of continuous commu- nication and pronounced the Northern Light to be quite unfit to perform the services required, and inadequate to carry the passengers and freight to and from the Province, and concluded his review of the political situation by an able description of the Hor. Senator Howlan’s scheme of con- structing a tunnel across the Straits of Northumberland, and considered it the ouly feasible means of satisfactorily fulfill. ing the Terms of Confederation, meegecting winter communication. “

The Hou. Donald Ferguson, hai¥ing been called upon, said that he was very happy to meet so many of his constituents, and hear their views respecting the requirements of the district, and” ully endorsed the sentiments of the Hon. Senator i the Public Worksin this part of the Pro- vince. For years the grievances for which the meeting was convened has been greatly reported to him, and he felt sanguine that the Dominion Government would do what laid in their power tewards redressing this long standing grievance, He then,ina clear, concise and comprehensive manner spoke of the services performed by the Northern Light and other means of winter communi- cation, and said that the terms of union were not carried out with any view to the wishes of the people of this Province, ond that Senator Howlan earned the everlasting gretitude of the people of P. E Island for his laudable and energetic exertions in their behalf, with a view of bringing this serious and long-delayed matter to a suc- cessful issue. He then concluded by ex- plaining the manner in which this Province is misrepresented in the customs returns, stating that a large volume of the exports from this Island are shipped to the United States through Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, and consequently swell the returns of those places, causing a discre- pancy to appear against this Provinces, and the same faliing off can be said respecting our imports. True it is that instead of this Province, standing as it really is one of the largest exporters and consumers per capita of any Province in the Dominion, those misrepresentations place it the very reverse.

Mr. Henry Bovyer camo forward and said that as he was only a candidate as yet: for their suffrages he could net be expected | to speak much, yet it would be a source of satisfaction to him to see the people in this part of the country having their gharbor| improved, He then spoke for some time on|

that the support he would receive from the electors at the forthcoming election, would amply testify the confldence the people still repose in the present Administration.

Mr. E. Coflin then spoke, and in a short but pointed speech said that he considered that this section of the country has not been looked after as it should have been by our representatives at Ottawa, and hoped they would in future pay us alittle more attention. A Breakwater at Tracadie Har- bor would be a great boon to the country for miles around, as we have no sbippiog place only that, and on that account people are put to a great deal of inconvenience during the shipping season, and in procur- ing limestone and coal; likewise in the way of getting supplies for fishing purposes, and also respecting the shipment of fish.

Several other pereons present also spoke, when the following resolutions were put to the meeting and carried unanimously.

Moved by Mr. Peter Campbell, seconded by Mr. William McLauchlan :

Whereas, It is the unanimous opinicn of this meeting that a breakwater at Tracadie Harbor would greatly aid in promoting the general welfare of this district and sur- rounding country.

Therefore Resolved, That a petition be drafted and forwarded to the Department of Public Works, Ottawa, asking a sum sufficient to construct said Breakwater.

VOL. 1S-NO. 56,

said breakwater be now read. The petition being then read it was— :

Moved by Hon. D. Ferguson,- seconded by Mr. James Trainor, that the said peti- tion be now adopted.

The chairman being then tendered a vete of thank the meeting dispersed.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR,

Boards of Health.

S1zx,—As there is a good deal of sickness now in the country, and several Boards of Health appointed to enforce and carry out the rules of health, would it not be very necessary for the Government to provide each Foard with local instructions and directions in the matter, At present some of the Boards are at present in a state of uncertainty or total ignorance of the extent and limitation of their powers, or how far the Government is responsible for their actions. It is said that no acts for guidanco thereon can be procured from that august body.

As you take a lively interest in the weal of the people and the dissemination of knowledge, and as you are in the centre of the legal literati of the Ialand, you might give the public an explanation of the statutes in force.

Yours, &>., INQUIRER.
