This amount is add- ed to the Expenditure, giving a total expendture of 81.483.451.35. The item of $72,731.33 Sinking Funds is shown also on the Revenue side of the Accounts, and of course it includes $24,465.83 liltcrest on In- vestmants. But credit is taken for this sum of s24.4ss.es separately as Interest on Sinking Fund Invest- ments, thus making it appear twice on the Revenue side and only 01169 an the Expenditure side. How could the Accounts be made to balance with this extraordinary error ap~ peering“ in them? The Government will have to give some explanation to satisfy the pub- lic. Such an egregious blunder casts reflection upon the general accuracy of the Governments financing and the public will not be satisfied until a. full and thorough investigation discloses how the unbalanced "bal- ance sheet" was allowed to be pub- lished.

The Canadian National Ilofe]

The opening of the Canadian Na- tional Hotel last evening was a gala event. This was as it should be. since the importance of the hotel to the Province, both as an encouragement to the tourist industry and as an attractive centre for social activities, can scarcely be overemphasized.

project of constructing a first class hoslelry in this city. With that end in view, a number of our citizens. representing the Tourist Association and Board of Trade. supported by the press and by public opinion gen- erally. went to Montreal and inter- viewed sir Henry Thornton. Sir Henry was greatly interested. He sympathized with the delegation in the loss of the Victoria Hotel and readily conceded the fact that the Province was entitled to up-to-datc hotel facilities and that such facil- ities would be beneficial to the in- terests of the Canadian National Railways. ‘The delegation returned very much encouraged, though, of course, with no definite assurance until the proposition could be looked at from all stimdpoints. By February 6,1929 at the commencement of the annual publicity drive cf the Tourist Association,‘ the president, Mr. Justice Arsenault, was able to announce that a new hotel would be built, either by the C. N. Rfior by some outside parties, to replace the Victoria. On May 3. 1929. came the an‘- nouncement from Ottawa that an in- itial amount of $200,000 was includ- ed in the railway estimates for a C. N. R. hotel in Charlottetown. Fol- lowlng this announcement, on Julie 10. Vice President Hungerford and party of C. N.

Grounds for Optinlisnt

The observation taken by the Chicago Daily news in regard to business depressions is well worth noting. Although the conditions de- scribed are pertaining to the United States, a similar line of reasoning cm be followed for this Dominion, and there is every reason for a simi- larly optimistic point of view here:

There was a business depression in 1857 lasting 12 months.

There was a business depression in 1869 lasting eight months. There was a business depression ln 1873 lasting 30 months.

There- was a business d , ‘ n in 1884 lasting 22 months,

It may also be that they are so overjoyed at the opportunity to marry someone else that they for- get to render thanks where it is due.
