CAPT. READ.

0 Capt. Read. continuing the subject of transportation said: 0 Premier Mathieson intimated to me that I would be expected to say some-

thing on the subject, and I agree very much with tile last speaker. I bc-

in Prince Edward Isiand, and that the difficulties that have obtained hereto-~

by anything else that has been done or`can be done. It is one of the good

0 reasons why this very meeting should be called. The revolution that will

\Vhile we realize the tremendous work for each and all to do at this

critical time it is our aim to forward every good movement for the betterment of our ‘country and people and, as healthy citizens is the best asset the Prov- ince or City can' have, careful consideration should be given to this subject. If in measuring the importance of our duties we ssk_ ourselves what most cun- cerns the welfare of the whole people, the uniform answer is _naturally the pub- lic health. Without health there can be no wealth, nor without health can we take our share in suppressing the evils that are thrust upon us by the gods of War at the present time. To know the efficient, economic and right way of work and to insure desirable results in lessening disease there must be con- centration of effort and authority. To this end representatives from the Gov- ernment. the City Council, and a public health association. might meet and form n central councll,which need not conflict with, but may be a part or the whole of, the Public Health Department. A plan could be formulated by which all associations, clubs or societies such as the Teachers’ Association, the Medi- cal Society, the Ladies Club, the Gentlemen’s Club, the Board of Trade. Insur- ance Societ.-les, the Board of Education and Fraternal Societies might be brought together for the common interest of the public health,-there will be 'no dissent from the view that the public health is of common interest. Different phases of work could be apportioned to each Society and at stated times they could co-relate their results through a delegate representative to the central council. There are other details in this regard but details mustnot be permitted to -infringe on the valuable _and limited time at your disposal on this important occasion.

Much good work has been done by the Charlottetown Anti-Tuberculosis

Society in education along sanitary and hygienic lines and in the relief of dis- tress no matter from what sickness without regard for creed or nationality, but its special functions are to deal with Tuberculosis. This disease-is of vast significance to the Province and City and general public inasmuch as its victims are often the most .industrious and self respecting citizens of the community, and the largest percentage of,deaths occur in the productive years of life. it

the prices of product are quite the same out in the country as they are l

take place in the province of Prince Edward Island as a result of the inaugura-

at; but it will be tremeudous._ Already-as probably others of you are aware. \vho are engaged in the same class of business as myself, the export of pro-

wnich has practically eliminated the three short, hauls, although I want to say that as yet the water porton of it remains the same as heretofore, that is

"arbitraries" as they did before; but the freight rates from all points of the province are practically the same for long ltauls. For instance, the freight rate from Charlottetown, St. Dunstan’s, Milton, and in fact every station bet- ween here antl Sunimerside, including the branch line to Cape Traverse,

every'acre of land between here and Summerside, until to~day all that land, acre for acre, is worth nearly as much as it is within the confines of Summer- side or Charlottetowll. Acre for acre-other things being equal, of course,-

Summerslile and Charlotetown. The inauguration of the Car Ferry system, therefore, is going to double tile value of every acre of land in this province, and the result will be that better returns will be secured by the farmers, be- cause sftel all the \.'.lue of land is just what it will produce, just the earning

All about and how to Obtain Pat-

csuse the great importstions of Newfoundland must of necessity-come from

tllvldelltl lllut it will give. `,` And thus the great llifticllltics that we have had llerctoforil ll. this l-t:ii.~l`i:i island by the sea will be solvcil. as some of the speakers have polntedmit tonight. The Premier Ililnsclf pointed out that lla- ture had donemore for us than any other spot of equal size on the face of the carth.-and it has. My friend tile American Consul knows that a small State in the Union, the State of Rhode Island. is not one-half the size of Prince Edward Island and yet has a population of 500,000-one oi' the most prosperous States of America. lt is only one-half the size and not one-half as valuable as far -as land and fisheries are concemcii; but it is what it is ‘because it bas been connected with that great body known as the United States and has had absolute free trade with it. I hope my children will see tho day when the province of Province of Prince Edward Island will have quite as large a popu- lation, if not twice as large, as Rhode Island has got. Nature has done much for us and we have everything _here in t-his province that we can desire. When we get that transportation question settled-and I believe the Car Ferry is going to do it-we will have made a great move towards that end. She is simply a marvel, anti I have every hope that when she is put on tihe Car Ferry service she will not miss three days in the whole winter. I want

ll.

both run to Charlottetown, Ltxis an absolute crime to ask the Government to keep the Car Ferry running t Charlottetown. if the Car Ferry and Stanley

‘ were both running to Georgetown they would be in to-day. If they were

running to Georgetown, on Saturday they would both be in their ports.

ONE OF THE AUDIENCE: W‘hy didn’t the Stanley get in on Saturday? CAPT. READ: The Stanley left Georgetown at 7 o‘clock in the morning;

the Car Ferry left Pictou at 7. There was no storm before 12 or 1 o'clock. Both would have been in their ports if they ran together. The Car Ferry is nearly twice the width ofthe Stanley. She had three times the power and s bow propeller. There was no difficulty for the Car Ferry to bc in port at 11 o'clock. She would have left a wide-open track for the Stanley, and she would have been in Picton early and would have hall the last part of her trip left open for her. - ,

The carrying of mails and passengers is an important tiling-and parti-

cularly mails. We have not being getting our mails regularly. and it is one of the things we want to have assured. -

Apart from the question of the Car Ferry. there is another matter in re-

feronce to transportation which I would like to see our Premier -and Govern- ment take up w'|th the Trade and Commerce Department of the Dominion, and that is the transportation question as it applies to Newfoundland-_between here and Newfoundlsndf You lfnow, Mr. Premier the dlilrcultlss were so

er this year.The difficulty of getting a steamer this year to carry on the trsdebe tween, here and Newfoundland has been greater this year than last year, and it

seemg' to me that it would be a very disastrous thing both for our province and for Newfoundland. It would be a great thing for the United States, be-

somewhere. and they are _going to como from New Yotif if they do not com frdm=._Prince Edward Island and Montreal. lf we do.not talte__steps to have thd boat call at our ports and Newfoundland it will be disastrous for this province. . l don't know if you are aware. Mr. Premier and Mr. Chairman. but as s matter of fact during the past six months there has been an em- bargo on the intercolonisl Railroad on ex-portssto Newfoundland on nearly. ovérything except perishable goods probably two-thirds of the whble time.

THE PREMIER: Tnat is a blockade rather than sn embsrgo.`

` CAPTAIN READ: it is an embargo ‘the result of a blocltsde.‘ if we are to keep up and maintain our Newfoundland trade it is going to be absolutely necessary to get a steamer to do it; it cannot be done by the railroad. That is another point with regard to transportation.

The next point is the, questit'm',of transportation between Sullmersido

and' Point du Chess and between Charlottetown and Picton. While the Car Ferry will doubtlesrdo all that I have stated here l believe it will do. never- theless it will still be necessary to get s boat between Summerside a_pd_ Point du Cbens and between Charlottetown and Plctou. They msyiuotbs such large boats, but they will need to be fast and strong passenger boats' and cs ble of carrying s certain amount of freight. Mr. Rattenbury pointed out

is authoritatively stated that 75 per cent ofthe deaths from this one disease

B could be prevented, and that the eradication of tuberculosis would save on

an average at least twenty-four years for each person who now falls a victim. There are many bravely fighting for their country wllo under~ the old system were supposed to be incurable but who are now valuable acquisitions to the army because of the modern Sanitorium idea. It is estimated that a period of three years is the term of disability in a fatal case of Consumption during which time the victim has not only lost his eamiug power but 'ln most calies is a tax upon society; and who can measure the cost of human misery to the family and friends? The loss to the community from tllc death of each coil- su_mptive .ls estimated at $_5,000, and the deaths in Canada liumber 7,000 an- nually which means an economic loss to the Dominion of thirty-five millions of dollars; and' a--billion dollars is the estimated loss to the United States

from preventable tuberculosis in a year.

The philsntllrophy of Hon. Charles Dalton in providing a Saliitorlum

for the treatment of incipient cases of Tuberculosis, at the enormous cost of $60,000 places this Province under a deep debt of gratitude to the generous donor. and will be a lasting memorial to his patriotism. This institution is completed and it is sincerely hoped that Mr. Dalton may enjoy many years to witness the results of his generosity on behalf of tile afflicted. But this insti- tution provides soleiy i'or those in the initial stage of the -disease, and it do- volves upon some other agency to provide for advanced cases. For the ad- vanced cases among tile poor there is a cottage in connection with the Provin- cial Infirmary where tuberculosis patients are segregated. and this is _ an encouraging initiative, but as a people we are far from being up to tlate_`_ _ln 'hygienic measures.

` The Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis here has excellent _tl-

fsults to its credit in the distribution of literature .bearing on dls_ea`se_, ,tire supplying of nourishment and nursing, and the establishment snd,ms'ln'taln- ance of the Dispensnry. stfll a comparison of the work done;-with that accom- pllshed in the other Provinces will prove thatthe Public Health problem is not receiving at our hands the sympathy and support that it deserves. 1. -

The Canadian Association for the prevention of Tuberculosis-_which

has its headquarters at Ottawa has been in existence for sixteen years._spd branches have been established in all the Provinces. of the Dominion with the result that the aggregate Sanatorium accomodation provides for nearly two thousand tuberculosis patients. Ontario has twenty active Sanatorla with 1190 beds in all.- the largest of which provides two hundred beds and the smallest twenty beds. The Province of Quebec has 5 such institutions witl\165 beds; Nova Scotia has two with 55 beds; New Brunswick two with 100 beds; Manitoba three with 210 beds; Saskatchewan one in course of erection 'to accomodate 60; Alberta one hospital with 20 beds; British Columbia two

with 140 beds and P. E. Island one. not yet occupied with 24 beds. .

The list of Officers of the Canadian Association embraces lids Royal

Highness the Governor General. Sir R. L. Borden, Sir W. imurier. The Lieut. Govemors of all the Provinces are Honorary Yice Prssldenta Hon.',Cl;ai-les Dalton is Vice President for this Province, Sir L. li. Davies is cn,tbo Execu- tive, and most of the Ministers of the Crown and the eminent physicians are

on the official Board. _ I _ _ ` , ' '

In order that the meeting may become acquaiilteil with our local vrorlt

special reference should be made to the Public Dispensary which is_ controlled by the Ladies’ Executive of the Anti-tuberculosis Society. The Nurse in charge spends part of every day visiting the sick and relieving distress wherever pov- erty and sickness are found, and they are seldom inseparable. Not `only_sre medicines sad food dispensed through this medium, but clothtng is 'received and distributed to the needy. The society is su`pported`by the* voluntary con- tributions of the charitable public, with small grants from the City .andgltho Provincial Government and generous responses have been made from -time to time when financial assistance was requested. Ex-Mayor Sterns personally con-‘

tributed |l00 a year during his term of office, stnd',tl1e.Governmeut`.-has _‘liven generous when the funds .were depleted. Judge Fitzgerald, I-ion. Dr. Jsnltius. Canon Simpson, Mr; Pfston and Mr. Tldmarsb have ever been sctivein the good work of the A"nti-tuberculosis Society, and these gentlemen _have been generousvbeyond the knowledge of the pullllc. ' ` l

The good work so readily done by the -physicians is very often backed

by them .lu acts of generosity which can only.ba appreciated by those who are in;s position to know of their self sacrifice. The Doctors sroswsro of a void ih the health machinery, but they have 'no remedy against' conditions which. permit the cause of disease to continue In existence.
