than is necessary for Canada A. l J-Ion. J. A. McDonald stated that b9 has always followed the work oi the Associated Boards of Trade with great interest.‘ Production, transpor- tation and markets are mailers oi paramount importance. It was grati- fying lo hear Premier Lea/e an- nouncement relative to permanent ram building. This work with the cc-operation of the Dominion Gov- crnrnent should be productive of good results. The fishing industry Mr. Mc- Donald considered a source oi wealth well worth tapping. The Provincial Government should give more atten- tion to this industry. Mr. MacDon- ale thought, and suggested the ald- dition of a. sub-department to the Department oi Agriculture. ltelative to the question of trans- portation Mr. Horace wright, M. L. A.. agreed with the premier in that the provincuis losing money in its method of road building. The only policy for adoption is one of perm- anent road building. and the speak- er expressed himself as being glad to bu: fie premiers announcement on the matter.

Mrs. Mutch. President of the Wo- men's Institutes, expressed much pleasure at being present at the meeting which was one of great edu- cational value.

of our Boards oi ‘trade. We are assembled here today at the ninth annual convention of the Associated Boards of ‘rrade of Prince Edward Island, and it is my duty as lull I my pleasure, as it has been for the past three years, to submit to you a brief summary of the last year's activities. 1N0 matter of outstanding interest
