(Continued iruiii Page l)

Valeras speech to the Free State Senate yesterday as reported by the press “we understand the Free State Government proposes to retain the land annuities."

"An honorable agreement could _ only be altered by agreement on two Isides," Thomas said. "The Free State Government is bound by the most formal and explicit undertak- ‘ing to continue to pay the land annuities to thc National dcbt coin-

pmissloners."

Thomas‘ refusal to rcvcal thc con- tents of the British communication to Dublin until it is "timely” to do so, caused numerous interruptions.

George Buchanan, Glasgow Labor-

‘ ‘Thomas insisted his statement

leaves no doubt about thc oath and riand annuities.

“That's the considered ent

of the Government; that is where

s .-

- i-we stand on the matter," he said.

The ministerial benches cheered.

Mr. Dc Valera has bccn quoted "several times as saying he and his ' government intended to withhold -i"pay1nent of the annuities amounting "to $15,000,000 and arising out of loans to Irish tenants enabling them ' obtain freehold o! their lands at the time the Free state came into “R, eing. Thus on both points, the o governments have taken oppos- ite views. The next move lies with

Mr. De Valcrars government. Meanwhile both the Irish Dail and the Irish Senate have risen for the Easter recess. Thc Dali will not resume sessions until April ‘.10. 'l"he Senate has adjourned indefin- itcly. If, therefore, Mr. Dc Valera intends to go ahead earlier with a bill abolishing the oath of allegi- ance, tlie Dail will have to b: sum-

moned specially.

The following report of thc Legis- lative and Public Library, 1931, was tabled yesterday in the Legislature. To the Honourable H. F. McPhee, Chairman, and the Members of the Lilarary Committee, of the Legisla- Live Assembly oi thc Province 0i Prince Eriivurd Island:

'.i‘hc books, 1'1 ports and pamphlets in The lmgislatlve Library now number approximately 15,000 and in the Public Lending Library, 4,800. The number of books, magazines and pamphlets issued from the Lib- rary for home rradlng in town and country during the year was 41,854. For 1930 it was 33.944 and for 1929, 26,078. in round numbers there was an advance in 1050 oi 7,000 and 1931 aiiuilsu" advance of 8,000.

As Oll scvcral previous occasions, the Daughters of the Empire during the ycnr contributed quite a number of books, which materially enlarged the section cit-voted to boys’ and girls‘ reading. Donations oi valu- iilile and ripproimute books were also rcccivcd from the following donors: Mrs. H. W. Loiigworth, Dr. G. F. DCWZII‘, Mrs. E. T. Gallant, Mrs. John Richards, Mrs. G.

Harris, Mr. J. J. MacKiiinon, Miss S. Nash, Mrs. A. Lord, Mr. J. P. Gordon.

The valuable donations from the Estates of the late Percy Pope, Els- quire and the late (Zcirles Cuming. Esquire, hnvc been acknowledged in the preceding report.

The patronage of the Library has been so largely augmented during the past two years that it is still much in need of more and more books of general and current litera- ture, and especially of appropriate books [or the younger readers. The generous donation of maga- zines and lciirling newspapers con- tributed to thc Reading Room by the Estate of the late W. L. Cotton, Esquire, has bccn continued, during thc current year much to the con- vciiicnce and profit of the patrons.

Satisfactory progress was madc during the preceding year in mak- ing a new catalogue, new shelf-lists arid new card indexes of all the books in the Library and it is to be hoped that means will be provided for the completion of this important work in the near future. Although the work at the charg- iiig-desk is continually increasing} the placing of attractive covers on the books is still being continued, adding very much to their appear- ance and to their durability. The number of visitors to the Library for all purposes must aver- age per day approximately one hundred persons. The Reading Room is fairly well patronized, the regular attendance daily being about 15 to 20. The Library has been kept open during the past year on Thurs- day evenlng of every week from 7 o'clock till 9, the object be- ing to enable those who could not visit the Library during the day to do so in the evening. The Thursday evening attendance so far has not been large, the aver- age being about ten or twelve and some of these are people who could attend during the day. A better attendance of our artis- ans, mechanics and others who are occupied during the day is much to

be desired.

Respectfully submitted.

DEATH

The ending of an earthly span, The dlewlng of the latest breath, The final foe that comes to man: This equalizing stroke is death.

The presence of the shroud and bier, Cessation from earth's toil and strife, The absence of all mirth and cheer: Symbolic of the close of life-

A sudden thrust of Death's bright sword.-

Some soul is sent to meet its God,

To meet its just and due reward:

The mortal sleep: beneath the sod.

The parting of"life's golden thread Shall come to an the human race: The ‘stately requiem of the deed

Is sung in every elime arid place.

O human heartl Be not aghast As this pale spectre comes to thee: It is the portal from the pact That opens in eternbty.

An Act to amend the County Courts Amendment Act, 1870.

On motion of Hon. Dr. MacMil- lan the House resumed committee reading. with Mr. Strong in the chair, of an Act to amend the City of Charlottetown Incorporation Act.

Sec. 8, amending section 83 of the existing statute. was reconsid- ered. The section, as amended, will read:

The interest at the rate herein above mentioned shall attach to all present over- dii~ taxes on reiil and personal ivoocrty both for ordinsrv city purposes and for the making of permanent sidewalks and streets and shall begin to run on the passing of this act."

Mr. LePage said the House had not been sure whethe the latter provision applied only to overdue taxes. l-Ie assumed that it did. ~ Hon. Mr. McPhec said it ap- peared that the effect of the-sec- tion might be to attach it to es- sessmerits that are now overdue for streets and sidewalks but not to assessments that may become due in the future.

Mr. T. A. Campbell suggested that as the section was ambigu- ous on the face of it, there would likely be trouble in administering its provisions.

‘ The Chairman: it?" '

Mr. Campbell: “I don't what it means."

The section was carried.

Sec. 13, amending Sec. 92 of the existing statute governing the sale of real estate for taxes, was re- considered. The section purports to sell the right, title and interest of the person sold out.

Mr. T. A. Campbelfmoved as an amendment the inclusion of the phrase “heirs. executors, adminis- trators and assigns." The amend ment was adopted.

Sec. 23 was reconsidered and ll(l'l"i'3d. _

in. L. R. Allen asked if it was the intention to ‘make it more dif- ficult for a voter to vole ineev- eral different wards in the mayor- alty election. l-Ie understood that at the last election citizens had the privilege of voting for Mayor in as many wards as they had property.

Hon. Mr. Stewart replied that this had always been the‘ prac- tice. ' l ..Mr. Allen: "Is it the intention to continue that way?"

Hon. Mr. Stewart: "We have nothing to do with it, unless‘ the City Corporation asks for a change.

Mr. Allen: "I don't think it is a fair way to vote."

Hon. Mr. Stewart: "If the City wants it that way, what difference does it make to us?"

You may vote for three or four representatives if you hold property in different consti- tuencies, but never morethan once for the some individual candidate.
