that he would be doing an injustice to his own conscience, and acting unfaithful to his constituents, if he did not carry out the principles of retrenchment.

Mr. Davirs thought there should be a specis) grant for Pownal Wharf. 1t was in a falling state. The Corporation were not able to raisc money by taxation to carry out the necessary repairs; and it was for the service especially of the Government Steamer Westmorland the public funds should be charged with keeping it in repair, or at least in assisting the Corporation to do so.

Mr. Howar suggested, that if there be a special grant for Pownal Wharf similar applications shoald be overlooked.

Hon. Mr. Wianrman thought £5,000 totally inadequate for the service of Roads and Bridges—it was a mere nothing. Tue people looked to tais appropriation as the most important. it was one in which they felt most interested, and he was certain they would feel much disappointed at the amount. When the smal! sum of £925 would be divided among th: eleven Districts, it wouid fal! considerably short of £100 fo: rach. *

Mr. Hoim was of opinion that if a special grant should |e given for Pownal Wharf, Crapaud Wharf and Ilarbour were also entitled to a like favor,

iion Mr. Perry said it was useless to try to get money where there was none to give. It was wrong to apply so much of the public money to roads and bridges. He was al- ways opposed to the amount of the sums appropriated to such purposes. The revenue last year fell £10,000 short of the sxpenditure. They should not persevere in such lavish expen- iiture. They should resort as much as possible to Statute Labour for the repairs of roads. They should make up their minds to submit to the appropriation, and not ask any special grants. Should others do so he should do so too. But where a public wharf was falling to decay, it should be kept up, and not build any new onesthis year. ‘They were but the stewards of the public, and they should be faithful to theirtrust, The

Hlon. Col. Gray said—the Hon. Mr. Wightman knew hat theré must be a reduction i the public He should know that the man who spends half a crown oui of Gd. a day, must soon come to ruin, and so it is with Governments. He (Col. Gray) fclt the people would res- pond to the smallness of the grant. ‘They want to guard igainst taxation. He had conversed with farmars from the Hast Point to the North Cape, and they afl unanimous; leclared their willingness to volunteer and keep the roads in repair rather than have to pay more taxes. Although th: expenditure was so lavish, some roads had not been repaired for years. He knew one hituself (bat remained untouched for two years, proving that the roads did not enjoy the be- nefit of such extravagant expenditure as had been practised. [he object of the present Government was to economise the reyenne of the Colony, and reform the abuses which had obtained’ under their predecessors in office.

ifon. Mr. M’Avtay said the Government should not allow heir expenditure to exeeed their revenue. ‘They should no! ‘ollow in the path of their illustricus predecessors, who issued ‘reasury Warrants which could only be sold at a large dis- count, redacing the value of property and ruining the credit of the Colony. The appropriations should be malerate—the expenditure judicious, These principles carried out would satisfy the Country. He felt astonished the other day to hear Lion.

Under all the circumstances he could not see how they could consent to any special grants this year.

Mr. Srxchair was not disposed to quarrel with the Govern- ment at either the amount or distribution of the grant. He felt they were perfectly justified in carrying out retrenchment in the public expenditure. But he felt surprised to hear some members say that Queen's County was entitled to more money than either Prince or King’s County. Qaeen's County had a more numerous population, more roads opened up, and was far richer than either of the other counties. Surely then where roads had to be cut through the forest, and bridges built over rivers, by a less numerous and poorer people, there was no justiee in the argument that the richer county should have the larger amount of the distribution.

Hon. Mr. Loncworru said the members for Queen’s County were only asking what in justice they were fairly entitled to —a little more for Queen’s. ile would leave it to their own tonors—the members for Prince and King’s Counties--to say if Queen’s County should not get the two twenty five pounds— leaving Prince and King’s Counties each £900. Formerly Qaeen’s got one-fourth more than either of the other Counties, and she was still entitled to a larger amount from the cir- cumstance of her roads being cut up by the people from Prince and King’s Counties.

Ifon. Mr. Patwer wished to know if Pownal Wharf was to be allowed anything out of Queen's County share—if so, it was like making a poor man a present of an elephant, without giving him the means to support it. Charlottetown derives no benefit from the wharf. The Steamer stops there—the re- venue is only nominal. They wanted the Steamer there, and he hoped they ‘would soon have two. ‘Lhe wharf must be kept up—it now required a large outlay. 1t was a work of public utility. It belonged not alone to Charlottetown, but to the whole Island, and ought to be maintained.
