MARCH 9, 1900 “THE BRIDGE.

ere We greatly regret that The Summerside Journa! has taken ground against the construction of the proposed bridge be- tween Charlottetown and Southport, before the engineer’s memoranda to be submitted to the Charlottetown Board of Trade has been brought down and discues-

report is|¢d. The interests of Charlottetown and

Ihnen there are the summer viaitors,a large | |

proportion of whom will always come to |

Charlottetown. These will naturally drive

bridge, if the bridge is in the way ; but if ' the bridge iv out of the way, they will | naturally prefer the St, Peter’s, North River or Malpeque roads,—tbue depriv- ing the Proviucial Government of a con- siderable amount of revenue which they would obtain without any additional out- lay.

But apart from this incidental source of Provincial reveaue by means of the bridge, the revenue which will come from trade between Charlottetown and the country north of the Hiilsbor- Province at large

there is

ough. To the it does not, perhaps, matter whether the retai! trade is done in Charlottetown or outside of Charlottetown. But te the re- tail merchants of Charlottetown it is a matter of vital importance ; and to the taxpayers who will contribute $12,000 a year tewards the bridge it isa matier of

considerable importance. Everyone knows how necessary it is that the buyer and seller shall be brought within easy reach ofeach other, Every merchaut strives, in these days, to get near his customer, be-~ cause, prices and quality of goods being equal, every customer goes tothe nearest merchant. Build the bridge at Charlotte- town and trade will more and more come to Charlottetown ; build itat Kensing-

out to see the counry by way of the | Conservative opposition in the House of

ton—a considerable distance out of the way—taking into account both going and coming—and the tendency wil! be to draw trade away from the town and

to decrease the amount from which the Provincia! government will obtain by meansof the bridge toile. Town and country, and the taxpayers of the Province at large, will, all, evidently obtain less benefit trom the bridge if placed at Kensington than if placed at the foot of Cumberland or Gillsborough street

That is the reason why Tue Examiner, the Charlottetown Board of Trade, Premier Farquharson, our leading men of business, aud the public at large, are anxious thar, if posible, tae bridge shall lead directly into and out of Charlottetown.

Heretofore the Conservative party heave alwaysacted squarely anda bove board Its leaders have said what had to be said right im the face of their enemies.
