The Wlliilt‘ contention of the people of this, province, with the exception ' Captain Read, is that the hope of development and expansion is by all improved and greatly tlccelerttl» ed communication with the ntain- land. Another 300 per cent increase in five years would put the island on the map and the present -Cnr Ferry out of business and tie up the railway as badly in the Fall as it has been this winter.

My recollection is not so good as it was. but was not one of Cnlptain Head's points against the Patriot, thefact that he and his crew were not remunerated sufficiently for running a second or additional trips? Has this grievance been rt» niedled? If not why the new found enthusiasm for five or six trips, when three years ago one was in the Captain's estimation the only sufficient and strife course to pur- sue-for the money? IMy suggestion for the second Car Ferry to run between Char- lettetown and Pictou in the slim- mer and fall months is met by Captain Read with the suggestion that a less expensive steamer could and should be run on that rotlic. My contention merely is that its a second Car Ferry is necessary, it would be advantageous to use it. all the your round, and when». to arch-l er lbenefit than between Clutrlottr» town and Pictou. i am, Sir, etc,
