CORNER QUEEN AND SYDNEY STREETS,
PEAS | THE FISHING BOUNTY,
| (From the Commons Hansard.)
Mr. McInvvrs—I wish to say a few | words with regard to the distribution of the fishery bounty. There has been a good ideal of dissatisfaction expressed by those ‘receiving the bounty, at the manner in ‘which it has been distributed; I speak more especially of my own country. Tam well }aware that the bounty which was granted |in 1882 was only distributed last fall, and that a large poction has not yet been dis- tributed. I was approached by several | fishermen shortly before I left home, who declared to me that they had sent in appli- jcations, and had never received any bounty | whatever, and they said that several others
who had sent forms application had received their bounty. I think there is something | Wrong in regard to the distribution. I may s'a’e that it has not been the same even in ‘all the counties. of Prince Edward Island. | Although the distribution took place last fall, in Prince County it took place eariy jlast spring. At that time there was an election going on for the Local Legislature, and immediately before the election took place a distribution took place for that country. I think itis wrong that the fishery
bounty which was to have been used for the benefit of the fisher- men should have been used to
make votes either one way or the other. Another point to which I direct the atten- tion of the Minister is that when these fishermen make application for the bounty there are no forms to be had. I remember last summer and fall that the fishermen caine to the sub-collector in the village where I live, and the usual reply was made that he had run out of forms. Another point 1s that the sub-collector in my own village carries on a mercantile business; and [ understand that aceording to the regulations of the Fisheries Department he should not do so. Ido not bring this to the attention of the Mininstry from any, personal feeling, but this gentleman, who is in every way capable of acting as sub- collector, is in the habit of selling goods, and the first thing which is kept out of the fisherman’s bounty is’ the bills which they owe to this gentleman. || do not. think that should be the case.
Mr. McLeran.— What is his name?
Mr. Melnrvre.—Michal Collie.
Mr. Bowexy. —That is at Souris?
Mr. Mcinryre— By Order-in-Council last fall the fishermen were directed to send in their claims before the end of 1883. The fishermen complied with that direction, as far as they possibly could; but when they applied for grants, the same objection was made—there were no forms ; and up to this time there are dozens of fishermen in that section of the country who have not received their forms, although the time for receiving ‘them has expired. There ought to be a more simple method, it appears to me, of distributing this bounty than the method now pursued. It places too much power inthe hands of these local boards or sub-collectors. A man who has taken the proper amount of fish required, may claim the bounty, and he is to be put off on one pretext or ancther. I know some cases myself of men having been induced to send in reports in order to get the’bounty when they had really no right to receive it, wot having taken the full quantity of fish required. So far as I can learn, I know of only one case in my section of the country, perhaps in the whole county, of a fisherman not having taken a sufficient quantity of fish to entitle him to the bounty. Another matter that bears very heavily on the fishermen of Prince Edward Istand is the regulation in regard to the length of the boat which deelares that the length must not be less than “fourteen feet keel. This is a very great hardship to our fishermen. There is a large section of our coast aJong which there is no harbor, and the fishermen are consequently obliged to haul their boats every night and every morniog, so that they find the boats under fourteen feet keel the most convenient. It appears to me that the essential ground for this bounty is the quantity of fish caught; it does not matter whether they are taken in a long boat, or in a short boat, or in any other way.

turn 25 ewt. of fish, and they put that quantity down for the boat, when it was really the quantity caught by each. I be- lieve several cases of this kind have oc- curred. I think it would be an act of gener- osity on the part of the Minister to inquire into the cases of these people, as most of them are poor; and, if possible, to grant the bounty to those who, from ignorance or the went of some informality in filling up the forms, have forfeited it.
Mr. Macvowanp (JXings, P. E. I.)—I do not altogether agree with my hon. colleague that there should be a simpler method of granting this bounty. On the contrary, I think we ought to restrict the method, because I believe instances have occurred in which people secured the bounty by going to their next neighbor, who might be a justice of the peace, and getting him to give them a certificate. I think every fisherman should be obliged to go to some sub-collector or officer under his jurisdic- tion, and make a proper aftirmacion before he gets the bounty. If that were done, it would prevent a great deal of the fraud which now takes place. It
fish should get the bounty. Bot it should be sen that those who are not en- | titled to it should not get it. With respect to the length of boat, I agree, to some ex- \tent, with what the hon. gentleman has said. QOvr fishermen parsue their work /on a coast where there are few harbors, and \they bave to haul their boats night and jmorning. Although their boats are’ small, | they carry on deep séa fishing. I know of several! cases of hardship in which fisher- /men have been shut off frem the bounty, | because their boats were only twelve or thirteen feet keel An hon. member has |referred to the sub-colleetor of Souris; but I venture to say that the Minister of Cus- toms has not a more eflicient or faithful officer in his service in any of the Pro- vinces; and, if the enb-collector has a small business besides, it is a legitimate one, and does not interfere with his duties as cullect- or, I ain satisfied that any returns made under him have been properly carried out, and that he bas seen that men making returns for fishery bounties have made «@ proper affirmation. Now, I wish to impress upou the Minister the absol ute necessity of more strictn(ss.in regard to the granting of these bounties. I would suggest that some person in each locality—either the collector of Customs or some one else—should receive aemall fee for seeing that the regulations are properly carried ont. If that were done, it would prevent much of the frand that takes place. I have never heard any complaints of blanks running out, and if they did, the sub-collector could easily write forms suitable for the purpose.
Victoria Notes.
Our merchants are cleaning up, prepar- ing for the spring trade, The stores of Messrs. D. W. Palmer, Angus Brien, J. W. Stordy and D, Lawson are, as usuai, well patronized, and present a neat and tidy appearance, and the owners attentive and obliging.
J. H. McDonald’s clothing store is a scene of industry. It is generally admitted that he excels others, of more pretentions, in good fits and workmanship.
John McKenna and Alex. McQuarrie, blacksmiths, can be heard from the rising until the setting of the sun.
J, W. Stordy has a large schooner in frame. It is allowed by those competent to judge that the frame and model 1s Al. Mr. Stordy deserves éredit for his enter- prise. He is, no doubt, one of our best men, and gives eroployment to*a great many hands. We believes it is better to wear out than rust ont. We wish him every success.
There is quite an improvement in the mail arraigement. Our mutual friend, A, Collett, Esqg., seems determined to work this route up to the same _ effici- ency and name it had when conducted by such energetic men as Solomon J. B, Leard, Esq., and the McFarlane Bros.
The store belonging to Charles M. Leard, Tryon, is being put in thorough repair. It is rented by Wright & Bros, of .Summer- side. We heartily welcome them to our village and wish them every success, We understand they intend to keep a dry goods and grocery store. With their reputation for attention, politeness, and fair dealing, we expect to see a rush to their store when opened, that will surprise the the watives. To insure success they had better advertize in Tue Examiner, as Tue Examiner has the largest citeulation of any newspaper in this part of the Island.
The Victoria Bridge has been repaired, and the work nicely done in proper time. The repairs were such that it would be imprudent to let it by contract, and our highly esteemed and efficient, and ever faithful representative, the’ Hon, W. Campbell, as usual, did what was, we con- sidered, right in the matter, employed good and faithful men to do the adit and they did the work diligently and faithfully, which no body will por dare deny. It isa credit to them, also to the Commissioner of Public Works. He is in every way more popular than he ever was ir this end of the district. Any person saying to the contrary will find he is barking up the wrong tree, and time, we have no dowbdt, will ve it. We would advise Auld Brig from Hampton to attend to his birchen rod and mind his own business, and his associate who looks like a New York Alderman run to seed, or a member of the swell mob disguised as a countryman to attend to his Cape Breton change on the lime kiln brow. Their puny attempts at detraction will have no effect, but only a tendency to show the forethought of Mr. Campbell over his would-be detractors,
J. 8S. McQuarrie and Jabcz Hudson are building a large store and warehouse. Capt. Stuart is building a dwelling house. D. W. Palmer is going to build quite lar- gely this summer. James Johnston is en- larging his lobster business. Pobert Logan has his tin shop nicely fitted up; he being attentive, sober, industrious and obliging, and a first-class workman, we feel sure of his future success.
Mrs. W. Furlovg has moved away from the village, aud as herself and family have always been noted for kindness and every- thing that was as it ought to be, they ‘will be very much missed, They carry with them the good wishes of the whole neigh- borhood, and if gocd wishes will insure their success, they will be sure to suceeed wherever they may reside in fnture. |
With ali the energetic men we have en- gaged in their several] different occupations, we expect to see a good business done this season.
