To the Members of the Council of the City of Charlottetown. Gentlemen: -

The year 1904 through which we have just passed has been in many , ‘s a trying and difficult one for us all, laiquring as we still are in the trough of the world wide economic crisis. > Fortunately. though the storm is by no means over, there are signs of clearer weather on the horizon, Our Province has come fairly. well through the gale. Last year‘

greater increase in its income tax receipts than any other in can- ada. This was due in no small measure to the healthy state of the fox industry.

The present Council board was elected to office in the early part of this year, and during this period of their ' cumben , in the midst of wry twins circumstsin. the members have handled the affairs of our City with faithful diligence

tnwt which the citizens have con- fined to their keeping.

Oommends Fellow-Councillors

The various departments of the Civic Government have been well administered and the respective committees of the Council which have them in charge have func- tioned in their control with a splendid ‘degree of success. The permanent Civic officials have ex- “'“‘ imfa-iling couriasy, faithful- nessaud diligence lathe perform- ance of their respective duties, and I wish here to record my appre- ciation of their faithful services.

During the year just passed the Maritime Hospital Association sel- ected Charlottetown as its meeting

pmciative of the kindly hospital- ity shown them, as always, by our citizens.

In the summer months our poi-t was visited at various times by the warships "Scarborough", "Dr-agon”, “Champlaim “Ville dTs" “Jeanne d'Arc" and "Jacques Cartier." We are always glad to welcome the of- ficers and crews of these ships to our shores.

The former Conservative Prime Mmiater said that announ at. of this programme would probably be taken by the "stunt press" as an in- dication of a general election at Wnitsuntido. but, he added, “the government has not yet considered the question of an election. There is much work to be done” and'he hoped the House would get on with it. His statement was greeted by
