GUST 28,

I have goue over the

carefully prepared. travereed the same

figures aud, beving ground seyeral times, I find they are sub-

stantially correct. After making all! al- lowances and making exact calculations, there would be dune on the Ist of Jule. 1897,0n a fair and square ec count,to Pr ne? Kdward Island ¢2174,70553. That isu order to put Prince BE iward Island ia the same position asthe other provinces oi Canada, with regard to-railwavy aud canal expenditures of over $2,000 000 ia Prirce Edward Island and. this way up to the first of July, 1897: From that time up to the present, I bavesome figures here taken from the estimates, and tuis is what bas hapy ened : in ‘his period, cover- ing three years, including the year fer which Parliament has jast voei asstof estimates,I find there has been, either voted or submitted in the estimates inthe present year, OF paid, $30,809,381 for railways and canals in Canada. And of that amount I think there has been some $30,

600 spent in the province “of Prirce Hi-

ward Islaod. This $31,000,000 is ia ad- dition to the statement, al ogether apart from and

beyond what was included in the memo. o! the provincial government two yeare ago. Atthe end of this financial year, if ‘he government use the mocey they sre pow asking Parliament to won there will be a

new expenditure of uearly $31,000,000 on railways and canals embraced in the years 1898, 1899 and 1900. Prince Edward Is- lacd is one-fortieth part of Canada, aud hon, gentlemen will see there is $760,000 which wonld be Prioce Edward Islanwd’s ebare of that exvenditure sup- posing it were distributed round all the provinces evenly. So,in addition to the $2,174,000 which the province claims, and I think claims correctly, ‘o be due to the Island in 1897, there has been an addition created by the extraordinary expenditures by the governmeat since 1897 amounting t» $760,000. Inthe vote which is now submitted to Parliament $250,000 is pre-

posed to be expended in this vear in the province of Prince Edward Island on this branch railway. I may say, further, what bon.

Over

the whole proposition embraces a very much larger expenditure than that. This

railway, if it goes to Murray Harbor—I see most statements meution the bead of Mur- yay River but it would bave to go pine miles further-- would cost about $1,219,000. Then the provincial government have pro- vided a payment of $12,000 annually to. wards this object.

Hon. Mr. Power—Does the sum of $1,- 319,000, which the hon. gentleman mens tions, include the cost of the bridge ?

Hon. Mr. Ferguson—Yes this is a statement of the whole expenditvre; the bridge, $800,000; railway to Murray River, $447,000; wharf and ground at Murray River, $22,800; extension of Beach Poin’, |

that, however, the $22,800 for the wharf at | Murray River and also $25,040 because there is a shcrter road surveyed than the one embraced ia these estimates, which would cost t}atmuch less, That leaves!

ment and the repres¢ ntatives from the'pro- vince of Prine? Edward Island ic the vears (8°25 and 1896, and it was decided by ihe ‘ate gorernmeot at thattime in the public imverest,as well as im justice to the prov nce ot Prince Edward island, thata number of small branches were to be bull. in the province, some 81X O1 seven.and ibis wasto be one of them, and he railway exp ris were cf the opinion tl] et t tuese branches leadingto the seabosru were built, tapping important settlements,

port et ibat time, and it was his op’ p Or ihat if that were done a very considerable amount would be contributed in the way of increased earnings ler oxen on the railway in place of the deficit we bave atihe presenttime | bave no doubt that in @ measure that opinion was correct. I have just barely stated the grounds of the contention between the province and the Diminiou, and L must express my satisfac- tion to find that now we bave the preseni givernment fullowing, at a respectable distance, in the wake of the late adminis-

tration aniaccepting at least in part, the policy that was there ‘laid down, and admitting the just claim

of Priuce Edward Island, la regard to this

matter. Loaly bope they will not stop bere, but thatthey w 1 go on and ‘fulfil the entire proposl:ion aud give us some

other smali bri nches that were suggested. Chis ore is larger and more expensive (han ell the rest put to- gether, very much more £0 even without considering the bridge When that isdone I have no doubt that the ac- count of the Prince Edward [sland rail- way wiilshow a very wuch better result than it has *hown in the past. My hon. friend,the Minisier cf Marine and Fisher- ies, Who represents in the House of Com-

mons some of the territory affected by this proposition, some years ago meade asrpeech and advocated the

scheme of a railwsy running across the country from Peake’s station, in King’s county, t@ connect the barbor of Wood Islands with the railway instead of run- ning from Southport to Murray Harbor and serving the country ito the way in which it is proposed todo in the bill; and it might not be amiss for me to read the exact words used by the hon. gentieman at thattime. He said :—

When I brought this question before the House in 1890, [ thought it was desirabie to put this matter before the government in a bus nesslike way. I had some con-

and wharf there, $94,000. I deduct frous

siltation with a number of engineers, and I was arsured by them thata branch live from Peage’s station might be built which would give the necessary accommodation and dc awav with the necessitv of a bridge across the Hilisboro’ which wl! cost a balf million of dollars.

That was the view of the hen. gentleman at that time. I happen to know that bis opinions on that subject were eeverely cr. ticized in the province of Prince Edward ;
