Batting

If’ Charlottetown ever hopes to be a real serious threat for‘ Maritime baseball honors, more attention must be paid to batting, one oi the biggest cogs in a baseball machine. A team made up oi sterling performers in the field, but just ordinary at the plate, might, iust as well give up all hope oi getting anywhere-so iar as Maritime championships are con- cemed. There are very iew ball ilayers who have showed their wares the past season as consistent batters, utters who can step into the ball- iiot away from it-take a natural iwing and emnect solidly. Balls are iither bounding of! the ends oi bats 1r handles for fouls or scratch nounders.

Budget Debate Still In Progress At Evening Session.

o__.

Provincial Legislature May t.

‘The house met at 4.35 p.'m.

On motion of Hon- Mr. Stewart the House went into committee, with Mr. McLean in the chair, on sec- ond reading of an Act for the care of ancient burial grounds.

The bill reads as follows:

Whereas there are throughout the Province of Prince Edward Island, a number o.’ burial grounds in which bodies are not being interred, but which should be preserved and pre- vented from being defaced or damag- ed or the graves therein defaced.

And whereas such burial grounds are in many cases surrounded by privately owned lands the owners of which claim to own the burial grounds, and the persons interested lr. the said burial grounds are un- able to, or are prevented from, car- ing and maintaining such burial grounds.

Be it enacted by the Lieutenant Governor and Legislative Assembly of the Province of Prince Edward Island as follows:

l-That all burial grounds within. this Province in which the freehold is not vested in a corporation or one or more Trustees for cemetery pur- poses and which is no longer actual- ly used for burial purposes, are here- Ly declared forthwith to be vested in the Attorney General o.’ the Province, for the time being as a. corporation sole.

il-Tliat the Attorney General for the p1u~posc of protecting such bur- ial grounds shall have (lie ])D\\'Cl‘ at all times to take and bring in his name as Attorney Gcncral all pro- cording-s. actions and suits as may be 1i ncssnry to protect such burial gluulids from bcliig trcspasscd upon or defaced or damaged. ,

Zi-Tliat in any such suits 0i‘ pro- ceedings the Attorney General shall imve the same rights as an ordin- ary plaintifi‘ in a suit for trespass clausem frcgit.

4—That the Attorney General shall have the riglit to grant permits to persons, bona ilde desirous of visit- ing or entering any of such burial grounds surrounded by privately owned lands and such permit shall be a sufficient answer‘ to any claim or suit threatened or brought against any persons using such permit.

"The bill was agreed to without amendment.

' On motion of Hon. Mr. LePage the House resumed committee reading of an Act to amend the Statute Law. A report of the discussion and o.‘ the vote taken on an amendment to this bill appears elsewhere in this issue.

On motion of Hon. Mr. Lea the House went info committee on sec- ond reading of an Act to amend the Income and Personal Property Tax Act. The amendment adds the fol- lowing tax provision:

"Upon any acceptance company, finance company, or person, firm or corporation other than a chartered bank and not being the actual ven- dor of the goods in question who engages in or~carries on within the Province, the business of negotiat- ing, buylng, discounting or other- wise dealing ln lien agreements or other instruments of securities giv- en in payment or part payment of the purchase price of motor vehicles sold within the province, the sum of two hundred dollars."

lion. Mr. Wright: “In the Federal House. authority has been given to the Govemor-inCouncil to increase the tariff, which is certainly anoth- er form of taxation, when Premier Bennett was in opposition he strum- ously opposed anything oi the kind, then, as soon as he got into power. he deliberately did the very thing that these gentlemen are opposing. I claim that we are asking for noth- ing unreasonable. We are simply giving, authority into the hands of the Governor-in-Council to increase or reduce the tax."

TAXATION FOR REVENUE

Hon. Mr. Stewart: “My hon, friend from Bedeque has a mncliaiit ior Federal politics. Either Prince Coun- ty made a mistake when it nominat- ed the present Federal Liberal can- didate, or there must be something in the offing for which the hon. member ls priming himself. I might ask the leader of the Government whether any other Province has put this provision in their statutes. If so, I am not aware of it. Further- more, l would like him to explain how the price of _:1soline would af- fect the tax. You are taxing for rev- enue purposes, and l assume you are going to tax at the beginning of the year what you feel you require in rcvcnuc from that source. You are not going to find out iii tbc middle of the year that you need more mois- cy than you thought when you bud- geted. That surely is not iii contcm- plntinn? The Estimates call for a certain amount nf mom-y that is rc- quircil, and knowing iluit‘ amount you nrc not going to misc your isX to flie gasoline consumer in the mid- dle of the year.

As I said be- forc,,fnr my part I shall have to voti- against it." " '

a very handy thing to have govern-

ihe power and we reduced registra- tions from eighty cents to seventy cents on' cars. If we had to wait for the Legislature we would not have been able to do that."

Hon. Mr. Stewart: "Was that published in the Gazette?

lion. Mr. McIntyre: “N01”

lion. Mr. Stewart: “Why wasn't it?"

Hon. Mr. McIntyre: “We reduced the registration on cars frdm eighty to seventy cents. That is below New Brunswick or Nova Scotia. 1n New Brunswick it is 85. and in Nova Sco- tla it is 90. The Opposition has as- sumed that we are going to increase the tax per gallon on gasoline. We had not thought of that, but wouldn't it be a very proper thing to do, after reducing the registration on cars. We have helped the farm- ers out to that extent and as the ordinary farmer does not run any more than 2,000 miles he saves $2.00. 1i we did Dllt a cent a seller 6W“ on gasoline it would only cost him a dollar. If gasoline prices fall and we see we are able to reduce it we will do so.

Dr. MacMiilan: "I want to remind the Minister of Public Works that we made a reduction also in the refl- istration of cars, in our time. We lowered it $2.50 and I think it W85 a proper thing to do. We are not finding fault with him lowering the price this year; but he goes to some length to defend a proposition which to my mind is in the offing. You are going to make it a little easy on the cnr owners of the Island; you have made some reduction; but if it is not the intention of this Government before this year is out to 1110112115‘: the tax on gasoline, it is a. very strange thing to ine. And ii you arr going to do it. why not come out mun flghlon and do it? We are not arguing that the tourists who come, here should not be made to pay for; the wear and tear of the roads. But it has been said that if the tax rc- ceipts from motor vehicles and gaso- line increase in the future as they have been doing in the past, it wouldl be a good policy to go on borrownig money for the llarrbsurfacing of 1 roads.
