_____________ NORTH WINSLOE SCHOOL Following is the report for the month of March:

Grade VIII-l. Keith Clldmore; 2. Clayton Cudmore; 3. Alton Youliker.

adopted in the Legislature yester- day:

Wl-LEIRIIAS the fishermen who are interested 1n the oyster fishing in the vicinity of East, North and West Rivers and Bedeque Bay which have been closed to oyster fishermen by Federal Order in Council owing to alleged contam- ination have strongly expressed their disapproval of said action:

THEREIFURE RESOLVED that this legislature requests the Fed- eral Department of Fisheries to conduct further investigation dur- ing the coming season withaview to completely determine whether or not the said alleged contamin- ation is ot such a nature or ex- tent to Justify the closing of said areas.

Speaking on the resolution Pre- mier Campbell drew attention to a resolution passed in the House on April 1'7. 1935, requesting the Dominion Government either to cancel the leases of oyster beds or in the alternative to appoint a Royal Commission to investigate the whole situation. "The reac- tion oi the Dominion Department of fisheries to that resolution," he said. was to the effect that the Department had already made a_ full investigation of the question’ and they were quite satisfied that the only hope and prospect o! proper development of the oyster industry was through the policy o! leases. However, they did not wish to force this policy on the Prov- ince at Prince Edward Island against the wishes oi’ the Govern- ment and local interests. There- fore they assured us that i! we were desirous o! cancelling the agreement o! 1928, under which those leases had been made. we were at liberty to do so, and the leases would automatically be sur- rendered.

“But the Minister of Fisheries pointed out to me that the Dom- inion Government was making an appropriation for the development o1 oyster cultivation, and that they regarded the leasing system as a reasonable adjunct oi’ that development. and that therefore i!

this Province saw fit to cancel the agreement and thereby to ennui the leases. the Dominion Govern- ment would have no alternative but withdraw the expenditure of that appropriation from the Prov- ince. and seek some other field where they might conduct their experiments and carry on the de- velopment.

“I feel that at should report to the action which as been received from the Domi on Governmentto

this stalge 1' House the re-

the resolution passed approximate- lY a year ago in this connection."

Mr. J. Walter Jones said that last summer the Fisheries Depart- ment sent men here and picked

the oysters and transport them elsewhere."

Hon. J. P. McIntyre: "I holdthe same view as my hon. friend. I was always opposed to translerring oysters from one place to private beds. I was always in favour o! the development o! the oyster ln- dustry the way they have been doing it in Malpeque Bay; that is on barren bottoms that have not been producing oysters. I cannot see the logic in trying to prevent some people who are ambitious and energetic and want to develop an oyster area that is not already developed. There are thousandso! bays around the province that are not producing oysters, and I can- not see the reason why fishermen or anyone else who wishes to go into that particular business. can- not get a lease and plant oysters. What the Biological Board is do- ing ls to catch the spat of the oy- sters and plant them on those

lot of labour. whereas if didn't do that those areas never produce any oysters. “I think it was a hasty step on the part of the Department at Ottawa. without any notice what- ever, i/wo or three weeks ago to close all the East and North River. It will be a hard job to get those areas open again. That is unfair and unjust to the fishermen. ‘There ought to be a Royal Commission appointed by the Federal Govem- ment to go into this matter thor- oughly. If they are contaminated on account of the sewage from Charlottetown and Summerside, the Dominion Government ought to come to their relief and make them put in a proper system." Mr. Horace wright: “Since the resolution was tabled last year. members have had the privileged! visiting the bottoms at Grand River near the Biological Station, at the invitation of Dr. Needler, and of seeing just what is being done by the Fisheries Department at Ottawa in regard to the oyster industry. I am sure that we were all impressed with the value of the work that is being done there, and that will accrue to this province from that work. We are all con- vinced of the importance of that work, and I think it would be a very great mistake if we should cancel the agreement at Ottawa. As the Minister has pointed out.
