—TAKING ENTRANCE EXAMS."

At Civic

Following is an extended report oi the addresses delivered at the Jubi- lee Celebration at Summerslda on Dominion Day:

MAYOR. IJDSTONWS ADDRESS

Ladies and Gentlemem-We are hers this evening to celebrate in a modest, way, a very important per- iod or milestone in the history oi our town. This is the slxtietb year of the founding of the first Civic Government for the Town of Sum- merslde. This is not the exact date, but as Dominion Day, in this Pro- vince, has always been M08911“! as Summersideh day, we thought it well t0 mark the event at this time.

On April 25, 1874, the Provincial Government put through an A65 enabling the Town oi Summerside to have self government.

The first election for representa- tives for this new government was held on September 27. 1875, and

R. Colhoun, Thomas Crabbe, John

aTho first meeting of Wardens was held on October lat in the same year when David Rogers was chosen chairman. ~

On October 11th a second meet- ing was held and W. B. RIImSB-Y W85 appointed secretary-treasurer and collector at $400.00 Del‘ veer. 50 0111' first town clerk.

M, this meeting a committee oi Thomas Crabbe and R. Mac C. Stavert was appointed to secure Bu office, it states, in which to con- duct their business. and at the next meeting on the 18th, the committee reported that they had secured an oflloe from D. Montflmnery- 0" Wharf Street at $5 per month. heme hto first town office.

At the meeting on 061-01961‘ 1mi- n... chairman, David Rogers. with John ‘Gaflney, were authorized to proceed to Charlottetown to confer with the Government and arrange all matters effecting the interests oi the Corporation and u. bandihk over all government woperty within the town of Summersi and to

r make for us a plan of the town;

this plan is still to be seen. Govern- ment propertles were this Dominion Park, where we are celebrating this evening, Town Wharf and land in the North part of the town.

In all, fifteen meetings were held in three months, October, November and December, and many bye-laws were enacted for the regulation of the town affairs, so that in 1875Ythe town of Sumrnerside was well ssuab- llshed. . "

It is well here to note that David Rogers was the first chairman and his son Arthur C. Rogers the last chairman before the office was rais- ed to the status of Mayor.

Patrick Ryan was our first Police Officer. Today wo have-his son, Patrick Ryan, on the roll of our. police force.

I ‘just wish here to say that in going through the records of the Town, the part played by our local press in the progress of our Town has been remarkable; in all impor- tant matters placing the events be- fore the citizens and where caution was needed, giving good advice. This is more than proven today by the expense and hard labour in settlni; up the histories they have published of our Town's sixty years adminis- tration, by the Guardian, Journal, and Pioneer newspapers. This l8 something to be commended highly by the citizens and I wish to thank them sincerely for their co-opera- tion and help.

Summersido was blessed in the

past with men of large vision, men of energy, men who did things. They have handed their accomplishments on to us and it is up to us to carry on as they have done and knowing the calibreof the citizens of today, I am persuaded that they will not falter, but rise to each occasion .to protect and defend their interests to make Summerslde a. more in- fluential centre, a place of low taxes, that will irlvlto others to come and join us, that will give thepeopie of Princg County a confidence in us as a centre where they can come and profitably do their business, and find co-operation and assistance in the problems that confront the farmers and fishermen ~of this country, and that they will feel they can always look to Summersidc cit- izens to serve them and give them their full co-operation. I wish to thank all. visitors who have come here today, to celebrate with us. and trust that-all have en- joyed being with us, as we have en- joyed the pleasure of their company. Also I wish to thank those citizens who have helped to make this day a succes. These things aro not put through without a. lot of work and thought, and I wish to thank all for their assistance.

MB. JAMES A. MORRISON

Mr. James A. Morrison was the first oi formcr mayors to-address the gathering, taking precedence in point o! age and long service, hav- ing been Mayor of tho Town seven times, four years in succession from i910 to 1914. Mr. Morrison was elected again in 1917 and was in office for three years. In tho course of his remarks, Mr. Mormon said ho was born at Tryon, P. ll. Island, but at the age of 15 your: in 1872 ho come to Summer- e Ind wu engaged as a clerk in s store of B. T. Holman and inter in Sinclair and Stewart's. noon not remain long, but wont to Philedolphla. Return to Bum. nan-side some few years rwards.

dence in the town and has never Ieiiretied his decision.

He first became ' ted with civic attains when heenlisted in the Fire Brigade. Later he became a Councillor and becoming ambitious he oflered for Mayor in 1910 and was elected. ‘

Since that time he has watched the development of the town, and can safely say that it has gone ahead faster than any town in the lower provinces.

Business facilities and advantages to the residents are not to be excel- led anywhere in Eastern Canada. ,

Mr. Morrison in conclusion refer- red to the men who had enlisted from Summerslde to go to the Great War and to whose memory the mun- ument before us is a. lasting tribute.

MR. JUSTICE SAUNDERS

Next in order was Mr. Justice A. C. Saunders, who had been Mayor of the Town on four different occa- sions.

His Lordship, in addressing the citizens, said he was born in Sum- merslde one year before lnczorpora- tion and had grown up with the town. Ho rejoiced to see, after 60 years, such progress and achieve- ment that few iowns could boast of.

He remembered the town as a young man, with mud streets, when in the spring carriages would be down to their axles in the mire. He also remembered the kerosene lamps on the streets and having to go to the public well for water.

Now the town has every conveni- ence. He remarked that all these things had not been brought about without much criticism from citiz- ens who had not the foresight of the Councillors, who at the different stages of the town's history were striving to improve conditions.

He well remembered the opposi- tion of many citizens when it was decided to install a water and sewer- age system, but he did not zhiniz that anyone would wish to go back to the old ways.

All these improvements had been achieved with low taxation. He con- cluded with wishing Summerside continued prosperity and God's blessing.

MR. JOHN E. CAMPBELL

Mr. John E. Campbell, next in order, was also born in Summerside, and his father, the late Ronald Campbell, was Summerslde's first Mayor. Mr. Campbell was Mayor three times in ccosslon in .1920. 1921, and 1922, and was again elec- ted in 1825.

He referred in his brief address to the energy and foresight of the early settlers ‘and particularly to the late Richard Hunt. who was chair- man of the Town Council from 1887 to 1887.

The late Mr. Hunt had done many things for the town. He it was who was instrumental m having these trees planted in this park by public spirited citizens. He added that many visitors have commented very highly on the beauty of the spot. Summerside, unlike many Canadian towns, did not have a boom in gold or such like to boost it. Its growth has been gradual and conservative and therefore more lasting.

Mr. Campbell rcmanked that he had often heard foxman say that "the fox industry put Summerside on the map," but he wished to say that shipbuilding put Summerside on the map long before they were born. The launching of beautiful Brigantines and other ocean-going vessels of the early sixties was a familiar sight at Summer-side m those days and gave to it its place in the run.

MIR. J. FRANK ABNETT

Mr. Arnett, who was Mayor in 1927 and 1928, spoke next and also refrcred to the early settlers who had builded so wisely and well that the citizens today enjoy more riv- ileges than many towns of this ize. l-le referred to the loss of the High School, but was convinced that the

acterized the people of Summerside would not fail and that a better and more up-to-date school would be built, which would be a. lasting credit to the community.

In a few words to the children, he expressed the hope that they would grow up with a sense of the res- ponsibilities which would one day be theirs, that the future of Sum- merside would be in their hands. and that they would always rave as their inspiration to boner tmngs the courage and endurance of their

EX-MAYOR MANSON

Mr. Manson, who after serving on different occasions as a Founcillor was elected Mayor in 1982 and 1933, was the last of the ex-mayors to ad- dress the gathering. - He too had grown up with the town and had been associated with it from infancy.

Mr. Manson said he often wonder- ed if the people really ,.preciated the many things that the town of Summerside hid accomplished in the short spaco o! 00 years. Such conveniences going band in hand with low taxation was to be found in few towns in the Dominion oi Canada. or Infill!!! else.

This happy state of aflcirs. Mr. Manson said, wll duo in a great measure to tho business ability of m, men who ‘had charge of the civic government in days game by. All honour is dim to these public spirited men of the put, who had courage and forllight to‘ plan for

Councillor A. S. MacKoy, one of the older business men. spoke a few words, congratulating the Mayor and citizens on this happy occasion.

Mr. MacKay said that the three things that had made Bummerslde what it is today were courage, non- fldence and conquest.

Summerside had been visited by many serious fires, but the citizens had always risen to the occasion and ne wand better buildings had always risen up from the ashes of the old.

The last serious fire was the burn- ing of the High School, but Mr. MacKay was confident that the cit- izens would rise to this occasion as in times previous and a new school would soon be erected.

Summerslde was also a city of

MR. W. E. MACDONALD

Mr. W. E. MacDonald, President of the Board of Trade, also spoke briefly and extended from the Board hearty congratulations to the Mayor and citizens on the 60th birthday of the town. This beautiful town, with its many fine buildings, permanent streets and lovely gardens and green lawns was a credit to those men who had gone before and whose foresight had made poruhle Summer-side as we know it today. ‘

Mr. Ma:/‘L)I-~-4~:i made special mention of the histories of Sum- merside. which had appeared in the recent issues cf the Pioneer, Journal and Guardian. He knew that it re- presented much time. patience and research and contained valuable material. which he considered should be made available to the school children. as there was much that would be oi interest to them and from the early history of Sum- merslde they could get inspiration for the future. He .assured the Mayor of the co-operation at all times of the Board of Trade
