ed, the statement is incorrect. | would

se therefore to know the grounds on | which you make it, Until you do so | must infer that your object was to mis

represent me before your readers; but [ give your statement ainost emphatic | denial, and asthe Editor of a paper | which should furnish your readers witl

rccurate infermation, it is not too much

' to ask you for your proof. | gtell you, and true, Sir, that when afew years ago | plainly saw | that if the people south of the Gills. | borough evel expectel railway communication, they would bave to | fight out the quesuon for themselvos. Ai the meetings which were then held,

and in which I took some part, asa natter of prudence | did not consider if necessary to magnily the cost of the undertaking of building a railway, by blazing end publishing abroad about the la'ge expense of building a bridge across the Hillsborough River. 1 knew very well, as every one knows, that in proj*cts and works of this kind, very ctten the greatest difficulty is to make or get a cOmmencement made. To be- gin to magnify the cost of the bridge | before aay initial steps were taken | sbout the building of the railway would 'be a sure bid to defeat the project. That precaution would not mean that | was opposed to the bridge. I reasoned ,this way: When the Government builds this railway to Southport they have one of two things to do—either | provide some means of getting into |Ch’town or make the terminus at Southport. Ifthe latter, a central de- pot equal in expense to the one in Uh’town will have to be built, a full statt of officials will be required, also a much larger expense for rolling stock. If the termirus were made in Ch’town the central depot there would serve, the same officials would zerve, and less rolling stock would be required. Put- ting those things together any one can see that if the Local Government would unite with the Dominion in building a railway and traffic bridge there could only be one final result, and that would be to build it.

Now | thus frankly tell you, what I said, and what my proposition was dur- ing the agitation for the Railway,a few years ago. I have had the satisfaction of seeing the late Government take a firm hold of the question, the great Jeader, Sir Charles Tupper, unm stake- ably committed bimself to it, an] the late Minister of Railways giving notice )} of a resolution to expend $253,000 on Beifast and Elmira Branches during the year of 1896. Butsir,I do not think anything in the course | pursued would justify you in saying that I threw cold water on the project of building a bridge over the Hillsborough. I can point out further to you, that, when during the first session of this Pariia ment, | took up this question, as I was bound to do, and @ discussion ensued in which Siz L. H. Davies teok part, | said in reply to him in referring to the Hills- borough Bridge, that instead of being opposed to the Bridge, that I was always in favor of it. Now surely you could not by any mode of fair reasoning con- strue that as “throwing cold water on the project-”

Now in regard to that Minute of Council which you say was passed on Peb. 17th, 1898, about whick you so very gentlemanly said I showed such ‘“‘as- tounding ignorance.” You know Orders in Council are passed in the the secrecy of the Council Chamber, and are not very often bandied about. Members of the Goverunient ana their friends alone are supposed to know about them till they become public property. Now, as you are in the con- fidence of the Government, I would ask you why if thisorder or Minute of Coun- cil was passed on the 17th of Feb. 1898, & bill was not introduced into the Leg- islature to give it “effect.” A session of the Legislature was beld since and nothing was ever heard or said about it. It appears Sir L. H. Davies, when he paid a visit here last summer, did not appear to Know anything about it either, In an interview with a reporter of Tux Patriot, as therein published, be said in reference to the Belfast Railway and the Hillsborough Bridge, as follows : “A lengthy correspondence passed be- tween the Hon. Mr. Peters (when he was Prewier) and myselfin which | in. timated that I could not ask my col leagues to vote a grant for the Belfast Railway unless the Provincial Govern- ment would sssume its fair share of the Bridge.” There is not one word about this Order-in-Council. It he knew of it he keptit in the background, preferring evidently to1ely on Mr Peters’ corres— pondence. Perhaps i3ir Louis also ex- hibited “astounding ignoraece.”

Now, further, to- show you that I was not so negligent as you assumed I was about this Minute of Council, I may tell you that during the last session of Parliament I tried to getall the in- formation I could on this very question. Un the 29th of March I gave notice of motion foran “Address to His Exce)-

lency the Governor General for copies of orders in Council, correspondence, claims, memoranda, statements, mem.- orials etec., in connection with the Govt. of P. E. L., and a delegation consisting of Mr. Warburton, Premier of the Prov ince; Mr. H. C. MeDonald, Attorney- General of the Province, and others in regard to questions at issue between the Government of P. E.I. and the Dominion of Canada.” I[t 1s strange that no copy of this celebrated minute of council evercame down. The question is did the delegation submit it to the Government? At least under the cir- cumstineces | think I should be excused if Lshould exhibit “astounding ignor- ance” in regard to it as you 80 very ami ably pus it.

have [ sinned that fulsome language

Now, Sir, in what you sheuld in such

Were you enrag »d because of the ¢ on ference? If unly st the Conference | why focus your oppressive epithets on me? ‘The head and front ot my offence seems to be that Il dared to sketch out ata public meeting a way by which the construction of the Hiilsborough Bridge would entail no additional! expenditure on the Province, or even less than the present cost of running it. Was thata crime cn my part? But you say the

minute of council torestalled me when | made those ren arks at the Conter ence. Well it happens that [ <ore-

stalied the minute of council by first making the proposition at meetings during the railway agitation a few years ago. The reason | took the matter up at the Conference was that I expected if the Liberal party intended ever to fulfil their promises in regard to the rauway and bridge they would certain- ly introauce at the next session of the Legislature a bill providing fora sub- jsidy to the bridge. I know there was a difficulty about deciding on the amount the Province should pay as its share of construction, | therefore proposed as a solution that an engineer’s estimate should be made as to the cost of a railway bridge and a separate estimate of the additional cost of providing a | track for foot passengers and vehicles. | thought the Local Government should pay interest on the additional cost—say $9,000 a year. I knew, more- over, that different sections of the Pro- vince forgetful of tae inconvenience the people south of the Hillsborcugi lab- oured under on account of the Soutb- port Ferry; and the further fact,that that large section for the last 25 years has been proportionately ‘paying its share of interest on the existing railway with- out any advantage from it, might not look favorably on the project. lt was therefore necessary to show that the construction of the Bringe would not entail additional expense. Indeed if the cost of the ferry is as represented, tbe charge will materially lessen it—as the proceeds of the sale of some of the present steamers—the sale or rent of the Southport piers and Prince Street whart, (which the Dominion Govern- ment will need)—and the continuance of small toll, at least till the Province is on a better financial basis, would reduce the cost to the Province to something

like $5,000 or $5,000 a year. That put very briefly is what in stence | said at the Conference, and |

do not think you can say the Minute of Council torestalled we—-or even it re- ferred toit. Perhaps it would be well to get the Minute of Council revised.

Now I need not say that [ am in per, fect accord with the delegates you name- viz: Hon. A. B. Warburton (the Premier), Attorney-General McDonald and Hoo.J. W. Richards, in pressing our claims for the Railway and the Bridge; but sincerely trust the result will be more than you seem to predict, viz: “A fair, practical and reasonable way of providing a Railway and Bridge by Minute of Council and Survey.” It seems. we have both «a Survey and Minute of Council tor some time; but they have not materializ-d into a Rail- way so far; but we should not despair.

Yours very truly, ALEXANDER MarrtIN.
