As announced in the D.m.r Gvannus of December 17th, a point of consider-_ able interest has arisen in, connection with the \Vesle_van School pro rty in this city. By an Act of the ' tu as of this Province. the trustees of the school property on Upper Prince Street, were soxiie f.Irl‘lf_V years ago iucorporhtcd as rs trust to hold and use said property as a Methodist school. The Superiiitcnrient, hliiiiste!‘ of the Prince Street Methodist Church. was made chairman of the Board of Trustees, which office was handed down to his successors. It was required that all trusnees should be adherents of the Methodist Church and a majority of them full members of said church. After some thirteen years from the erection of the school, all the nominations ll-D fill vacan- cies in the trust were to b - made by the quart-xrly nllicial board of the Methodist Church referred to. The present school system of this province. l't'ndC‘l't‘.(l it un- necessary to tlnllflllllt‘ the school according to the first purpose. it has tlieref.-‘re been discontinued and the property dis-

posrtl of. The question now arises as to the duty of the trustees. What. disposition should

they make of the funds in their possess- aion 3 Should they retain them to be used, if necessary, at some future time for the c nducting of a school upon a_ some- what aiinilur b sis to the one which has been discontinued? Or should they re- turn to the original subscribers the amount of their subscriptions’! The trus- tees are instructed tbruuglh united-legal channel that subscribers ave no us‘-inn either in law or equity upon the funds -of the sch -0], and also that the trustees are not at liberty to return money to sub- scribers without special legislation.

“fa understand that the Trustees are divided on the question whether or not the funds should be returnc :, but a ma- jority think they should be retained,- and devoted as far as possible to carrying out the original intention of the subscrib- crs- The latter, hqwcver, do not see it in this light. They held a meeting \\'ed- nesday and we hear that they talk uf con- testiinz the matter in the courts

The iiitercsts appear to us so varied and conflicting. arising out of the deaths of original subscribers, and other causes, that the greatest possible care would be required in the preparation of the Statute, before you could hope it would receive the assent of the Legislature. Yours truly, [Signed] L. H. DAVIES. FRED. Pnrans. Remarks of the Board.

From the above it will be readily in- ferred:

That if all the parties interested in the Trusts, could be induced to consent to a refund of the subscriptions, as set forth in the meniorial, it would not only‘ he subversive. of tne original intentions of tho subscribers, but would prove to ‘be a. great loss to this community in the tuture. _ _ ~

That the clitliculties in the way of re- funding, owing to the conflicting claims of the heirs of the original donors, and the probable delays, c--cits of litigation, &c., would entail responsibilities on the Board and their Sllccc-S5.>x‘S, such as few men would be willing to encounter.

That there is no reason for supposing the objects of the Trust calhnot be car- ried out, in accordance with the terms of the charter.

That the originzil subscribers by their own Act, iussigiied their interest in the Trust after the first 15 years, to the Quarterly Board of the Methodist Church of Charlottetown (taking effect in the your 1881). From that date, the Act prescribes, that all vacaiicics occurring in the Trust B...-ird shall be tilled by the said Church Court. , .

The niemorizilists will doubtless con- clude, that it is not only the llllpelniiw

purposes of the ‘Act, but that there is 2... othcr course 1* hich they can safely on

ll0l'.If)!'ulJl_V follow. During the p get '.'.i years the Boasd has endeavored to (lie- cbarge its duties faithfully, and gratuit- -ously; and while looking back on the past- there is much cause for sat "faction at tho benefits which have result to the whole community; there is also good reason to hope that the fund now at the disposal of the Bond may be productive of htill create: benefits to succeeding genera-

tions. ,, _ _m_ ,
