the accounts of last year. But if so there

are several points about which informa—

1. Notwithstanding the imposition, in the past two years, of taxes amounting, in to $100,600.09 ($90,-

2. In the statement of Treasury receipts for the year there is an item of “ Provin- cial Loans, $79,488.92,” but there is no- thing to show whether- these 'oans were from the Banks or from perso13 deposit- ing with the Government, or from boib. Will the Patriot inform the public upen this point ?

3. The Auditor’s report shows that tle total amount for which the Government was, under the Loan Act of 1894, liabe 116,622.16, and the Merchants Bank statement sh. wa

on the 3lst Decemler, was

that the amount owing by the Goverr- ment to that institution, on the same date, was $78,416.00.

ANOTHER QUESTION.

terERRiNG to the proposed erection of Prince of Wales College building, the Patriot says: *

“Tt appears from the Public Accounts that $1,156 were collected from the students in fees last year, which fees, we understand, are intended asa fund to pay the in‘erest on any Joan that may be reouired to erect a new college building. As this sum would about pay the interest on $30,606, it is not likely that the new building. when provided, will be. any bur- den on the general taxatiot of the Prov- ince.

But the $1,156 has been taken inte the ge reral revenue and Has gone. to. reduce the deficit of the year. How then can it

ge towards the erection of the proposed new co'lege building ?

“ Desperate diseases require desperate remedies.” Having pretty well dried oe the Lani Office, and borrowed and taxed | to the top of their bent, our dashaway Gov- ernment now proposes to lay hands upov ! the public domain—the heritage that has fathers. A

upon that representation, union. Thus it is set orandum (see House Journals, 1873, Ap- pendix N) submitted by Messrs. Pope Howlan and Haviland to the Dominion Government, that “ The Government House is an old wooden building, erected about forty years, and will require a large amount to put it in repair, or a new one will have to be built, ani if of brick or stone, will cost at least $106,600." Upor this, among other grounds, they requested that Prince Siward Island should iscur a debt of $51 per head, instead of $45, or in other word:, “ be at liberty, on entering the union, to incur a debt of $4,795,071, instead of $4,230,945.” This request was acceded to by the Dominion Government, and thus the continued maintenance of Government House was provided for. Bu‘ now, at the sugzestion of some itinerant demagogue, being hard up for money, th Government propose to sell Government House and the farm belonging to it for what they will bring. How much will they bring? Perhaps $10,000; perhaps $20,000,.—at the most, about eighteen cents per head of the population. That is to say, forthe sake of the merest trifle, the price of two or three figs of to- bacco, or two or three glasses of whiekey or an evening’s enjoyment at lecture or play—they will sacrifice that which was intended by our forefathers to be public property for all time to come. © We ques tion whether this property ean be sold by the Provincial Government—whether the Dominion Goyernment will permit ita sale. At any rate the loyal people of this Pro- vince, those who desire that the diguaity ot the Province shall be maintained, tha’ such visitors as Lord and Lady Aberdeen may not be compelled to go to a hotel or private boarding house, and that our Lieu tenant Governors, who way not always be m:2 of wealth, shal! never be ¢ »mp*lled t live in @ rented cottage, have not yet ex-

A meeting of the Young Liberal Conser- vative Association was held last night ip Philharmonic Hall. A lot of “the boys” were present, and also several of our most influentia! citizens. A letter was read by the secretary from Dr. Jenkins, regretting that he could not attend the meeting m account of an attack of la grippe. The meeting was addressed ly the President, by P. Blake, E-q., Mr. Cyrus Shaw, M. P. P., Mesers. P. McCourt, Jas. McIsaac, A.A. McLean, C. R. Small- wocd, T. A. McLean and D. Nicholson.

GOLD STORAGE QUESTION.

MEETING OF AGRICULTURAL COM- MITTEEK OF THE LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY

(Continued.)

It would be much _ better to ship from the cold There is another thing that struck me. There was a sug- gestion made to me and I thought it had a good deal of ferce—that you could hardly

Mr. Sinclair to have it 80 as

| keep up so many salesmen, that it would be

necesaary to have one man to act as salee~ man for all and to superintend and look after the cold storage and see it was man- aged rightly and he might alco see that the cheese was made of a unifurm quality throughout. Ifyou send a man from every factory on the Island there will be a great deal of confusion.

Mr. Shaw--Would all the factories be willing to confide the selling of their cheese to One man ?

Mr. Sinclair—That is done now and no advantage taken.

Mr, Shaw—It would be a matter for the decision of the company,

Mr. Aitken—Yes, a matter for the de- cision of the company. If you could get the confidence «stabushed as now it would be allright. I think it would be better if we woull get one man.

Nr. Shaw — When the Government withdraws its patronage from this busi- ness and the various Companies are run- ning on their own resporsibility and one is independent of the other, it would be pretty hard to get all the cheese factories to agree on Ose man as salesman,

Mr. Sinclair—I think that would wake it more required. There is a good deal of inspection needed in connection wiih cold storage.

Mr. McWilliams—How is this briae forced through. By steam ?

Mr. Dillon—Yes.

Mr. Shaw —The cheese factories would have nothing to do in the management of cold storage.

Mr. Sinclair—If they came to be a co-

worked by the Government. they would not. We expect that the time will come whea the manufaciurers will take charge of cold storage.

Mr. Aitken—There is another side to it Would there be any fear, suppose there were thirty men appointed, one from each factory, of g riyalry going on—cutting prices ?

Mr. Dillon—Cer‘ain'y 6 heglihy riyal-

ry. Each salesman would be anxious to get the highest price for hie factory. _ Mr. Sinclair—The more you look into

You have first half of Jaly. them? The buyers are there and wll bid. one-eighth or one-quarter Of a ceut per

conclusion is they have a better cheese

man to'make your cheese. It difficult to get one man to sel). all cheese. It is a great responsibility.

to try to put up a superior article, for the

the product of each factory separately.

Mr. Sinclair—It would have a good effect even if sold by one man. He could sell every factory’s product separately and some might yield a higher price than others,

Mr. Shaw—-There is another fact to be considered. One factory. wight say, well, we will hold over our cheese; we wil! not take the offer. We will sell our July cheese. The price migit be eight cents per.pound. The buyer ia there. He says take my offer or leave it; I am going to get away te-morrow. The patrons would perhaps rather hold that cheese than gel] it at that figure or they might perhaps sel] because they needed the money, and that seller or that agent, if he had control of the product of the whole of the factories, might not knew the mind of the patrons of that particular factory asa seller from the factory would if he were there. Such a mau would know the true condition of af- fairs better than a general ageat.

Mr. MgWilliams—-The general agent would be instructed from each factory.

Mr. Shaw—He would not be in 8 posi- tion to know as well as @ selley from each fac‘ ory.

Mr. McWilliams—He would be directed from every factory.

Mr. Laird—You will fail if you get cheese factory against cheese factory. All should be brought up to the same stand- ard by a duly qualified inspector.

Mr. Shaw—Yee, that would be neces- sary to have a complete superintendence. [t would be a matter apart from the ques- tion of sales.

Mr. Wise—Most surely we want a good superintendent.

Mr. Shaw—At all events, this diseus- sion has a tendency to ‘ascertain whether it would be Letter to haye our cold storage in Charlottetown or in Halifax or St. John.

Mr. Sinclair—Plecse give us your Op nions on that point.

Mr. Shaw—I[ am in favor of having it in this Province.

Mr. Aitken —T believe if it were estab— lished at Halifax a great many of the anti- cipated advantages would be lost.

Mr. J. A. McDonald—I should think it would be very much better to have it with. in this province, ,

Mr. McWilliams—What is it likely to cost 7

Mr. Dillon—You have been discussing in reference to cheese alone; butter needs cold storage much more thaa cheese.

Mr. McDonald —What would be the cost of the building ?

Mr. Dillon—It would depend on its capacity.

Mr. Sinclair~It is better to build one sufficiently large to do for some years to come. Weexpect this industry to grow. I have noticed the action the Government has taken in St.John. They have guaran: teed to subsidize a company. That is another question we might take held of Jater on—whether it is better for a com- pany to build and have the Government subsidize or to have it otherwise.

Mr. Shaw—I might ask was it a brick building that was used in Montreal for cold storage.

Dilloo—Yee.

Mr. Shaw—There is that to be consider- ed that we will have to have insurance for our cheese, andthe insurance would be higher in a wooden building.

_ Mr. Wise—It juste depen.is oa the local- ity itisin. A brick building will bura from the insile just as well as a wooden

Mr. Laird—Would not a brick building rovided with iron shutters lessen the insurance on the products stored therein. Mr. Dillon—I think so. It is a valuable storage You get a lot of money’s worth in asmall space. The insurance counts pretty fast on such a valuable product.

Mr. Wise- -Do you consider that $25,000 would be sufficient to put up and fit outa cold storage building that would take the products of this Province for the next twenty years.

Mr. Dillon—I would not recommend you to start with a capital of that amount.

With the improvements I think $46,000 would be ample.

Mr. Shaw -I might make a suggestion or stajement for the consideration of the

committee. Down in the district I have the honor to represent there is a man who has worked in the cold storage business fur a num-

ber of years. If this committee is desirous of gettivg information he wou'd be able to give it on that very point. He would be able to give more than anyone here.

Mr, Sinclair—Well, we were ta'king about the d mensions of tae building and probable cost of plant, etc. Could we get any more information on that, Mr, Dillon ?

Mr. Dillon—Ne; I don’t tee that we can.

Mr. Shaw—Mr. McCormack woall be abie to give you a very fair idea of the probable cost.

Mr. D llon~I have a plan of the build- ing, and made a deta.led e+timate of the cost. I will give you the idea that I have.

Mr. Shaw—It would be well to be able to give Mr. McCormack an idea as to what space each box would require, and how many boxes we would have. We need to consider whether it would be ad- visable or desirable for the farmers to have an apartment in that building to serve aS acreamery, in the event of the company wishing to start a creamery to be run on the same plan that this one down here is now runon,so thattlecream ¢ u'd come there; be manufactured into butter, say, on the basement or ground floor, and the butter cou'd be at once passed into cold storage. According to Mr. Dillou’s ideas, there would be an engine there, if we are going to have cold storage on scientific principles, and steam could be obtained to run the creamery. If we in- tend to have cold storage, we should take that matter into consideration.

Mr. Sinclair—We would require a good deg! of additional room.

Mr. Dillon— The byilding we drew the plan for was 34 by 140 feet.

Mr. Shaw—The next thing to consider is the matt-r of keeping poultry or other meats in cold storage. Would it. be al- visable to have it in the same buildi g? Was it simply dairy products you had in this estimate ? That building would not be large enough.

Mr. Di}ion—You would require to have the meat in a different room. .We esti mated to store other things besides dairy products,

Mr. Sinclair—Wonuld poultry and meat do well in the same building with cheese ?

Mr. Dillon—You could not have it in the same room, but you will surely lay out to store such stuff as that.

Mr. Shaw—At all events, we should make provision for poultry aud suzh things.

Mr. Aitken—There is a que-tion, Mr. Chairman, I would like to ask Mr. Dillon. Will there be any use in having cold stor- age in connection with pork packing ?

Mr. Dillon — Yes; but I think this would be better independent of the other. I think pork packing will be taken hold of by private parties, and they will provide their own co!d storrge.

Mr. Aitken—Do you not think this is going to be a very imp Iter’ wn lut-y

Mr. Dillon—I do.

Mr. Sinclair—How. much been manufactured this year ?

Mr. Dillon—We have made in the Cen- tral Creamery over 70,00@ Ibs. Altogether in the three creameries 100,000 Ibs. has been made during the year from June I-t, i895, to March Ist, 1e96.

Mr. Sincieis— ip" you give us the amount of cheese ¥ ov

Mr, Dillon—1,800,000 jbs, of cheése, or 25,600 boxes, My idea about cold storage is to rave the money here. There is wharf age, freight, insurance, and at Montreal wharfage again and truckage. We might as well save that here, and I believe there will be 40,000 boxes of cheese made on tl e'Island during the season of 1896, That would not all go into cold storage; but if it would, at 34 cents a box it would. give a revenue in one month of $1,400. It migit be there three months.

tinually going Out aod fresh supple’ com- ingin. The whole outpat would not be in cold storage at the same time.

Mr. Aitken—What has this reason’s transaction cost the farmers in Mont- real ?

Mr. Dillon—I have not the figures,

Mr, Aitken—Can youn give us an esti mate near it ?

Mr. Dillon-—We = shipped altogether about 22,644 boxes and they would be there on an average four months, at 34 cents per box per month. About $3,170. ;

Mr. Sinclair—That is what it cost the manufacturers.” Would it cost the same here ?

Mr. Dillon—It wou'd cost that here. Thoy would not expect to get it any cheag er here, and then you would make the saving of the freight.
