SECRETARY-’I‘REASUlil.EIl.’S REPORT

To the Directors, delegates and

members of the P. E. I, Co-Operative Egg and Poultry Association:

lt is a distinct pleasure to present

for your approval the following loss and gain statement I wish to call your attention to a few points in con- nection with this statement. (Account read.)

At the present fime_ your reserve

account as provided for in by laws, amounts to $32,381.22 an increase of $1,529.53 over previous year, this re- presents the present worth of your

#ugliness at a fair market value esti- m te, after allowing for depreciation.

A pleasing feature of the years op-

erations is a reduction in the hand- ling cost of eggs, this now stands at 2 1-2c a. dozen, the lowest we believe for any co-operative business in Can- ada: the increased poultry handlings contributed greatly in cutting dawn overhead expense during the period of low egg production.

Re. Resolution No. 1 dealing with

enforcement of egs grading regula- tions: a decided improvement has taken place and the majority of deal- ers are now buying on grade, pay- ments being made in accogdance with regulations.

Re. Resolution No, 2 that more egg

circles be organized this matter was attended to, six new circles having been organized and others extended. We are indebted to Mr. F. M. Nash. Dominion Poultry Promoter for his assistance in promoting this work, also for giving demonstrations in culling of flocks.

During the year we attended meet-

ings of various circles, and new dis- tricts to organize circles Practical melnonsirntiolls of egg grading were given by Mr. Arsenallit senior egg in- spector for this province.

Before the close of this convention

you will llryasiietl to endorse a resol- ution passed unulllnlollsly at the Ca- nndiall Prorillce Convention held nt Montreal. January 13th and 14th., this year. At the convention your associa- tion was glven recognition by the in- dependent trade and also other co- operative organizations in Canada, in that they elected mo your represen- tative, as President for 1031. I take this not as a personal honor. but rather as a. mark of appreciation by the trade for the splendid contribu- tion which our association has made in promoting and advancing the polli- try industry throughout Canada and particularly in this province.

In order to further extend your as-

sociation lt would appear that two fundamentals must receive your close and earnest attention viz: the reduc- tion nf production costs and greater at- tention to producing n quality product, With other provinces of Crlnadn rapidly expanding in volume of 6228 illlfi poultry, we must produce iilliliily M “_ minimum cost in order to retain our present fnvornhle position.

The former who conducts his oper-

ations with forethought and system is improving his position ill society greatly in excess of the city worker.

shooting and the car stopped behind and they asked the trouble. I said there were a ooupie of crazy men that were trying to shoot me lip. Sheriff McDonald and Platt.; were in' the car behind. I did not know them at the time. I went up and got hold of Keir Mann by the ccat lapel and said, "What are you trying to pull off?" He said he was a. prohibition officer. I asked him what right ho had to hold me up on the Kings highway, as I was not obstructing the highway or doing anything wrong. Mann 'didn’t say anything more to thot. There was also Cecil Miller in the first car.

Mr. Johnston: “Did he come out

of that car too?"

Witness “O yes, with a vengeance." Witness did not know how much

the car was damaged at thc time. Mr McDonald pointed out that the rear tire on the right hand side was flattened. Witness was not .sure Whetllllr his car was searched or not. There was no liquor in the car. He could not find a car jack so he got Clinton to go to the handiest house for one. Everett Haslam, Haslan-l‘s H111, came dovm with a jack and helped to change the tire. Witness showed injured tire to Hasinm. There Were two holes, just below the rim. The prohibition officers had left be-1 fore that time. When witness started the car they discovered they had an- other flat tire on the left hand front side. They changed on the top of the hill. A car came along on its way from Charlottetown to S'Side. There were boys sndgirls in it. Witness knew them all to see them. The left tire also was found to be "shot up,’ They came to Charlottetown and left the tires at Whitiock's re- pair shop. 'Ihere were also marks on the body of the car from the shots

Clinbon’s position in the car was opposite to that of witness in the front/seat. wither.; was driving. The car if sold today would not realize $800. The repairs -that day cost a- bout $250 at 5um.merside_ Details as fo the injury to the car were given. Witness was sure that the .two de- fendants, Keir Mann and Cecil

_Miller, were in the other car when the shots were fired. - - --

They left about midnight. when the officers :tapped in front of the Dicks car in the first place, Capt. Dicks went into the ditch and. witness “closed his »eye.s.” Afterwards he had to close his eyes again when the shots were fired.

Mr. Johnston:-"You were scared

if the captain fwasn'i.?"
