Mr. Isaac Carter, president of Car-

We have al- ways been of the opinion that the rates in' Charlottetown were high enough; in fact we have been asking for a reduction and when the new chemical engine came we fondly hop- ed that a material decrease in ra'te‘i= w_ou»ld forthwith follow. Instead of that we are confronted with an in crease arbitrarily imposed upon us. No doubt this action was brought
about by the recent coniiagration in fl
