This debt was rolled up in two years. Still lacking the reports and statements of the Commissioner of Crown Lands» we are unable to atate exactly what amounts of the assets of the Province were given away, 48 discounts, al- jowances and compound interest remitted, im thecollection of the $72,878.43 which have been used as revenue. erate estimate will place it at -he difference between the amount collected and $100,- 000. If this be so, the assets of the Pro vince were, within last year, reduced by $100,000, and the Province is so much the poorer—as would appear if the accounts were properly kept by double entry. Ac- cording to the report for 1890 of the Com- missioner of Crown Lands, the balances A very ni vd - then due to the Land Office amounted to $411,880.67. These assets are now, we venture to say, reduced to close upon $393,000. Of the public lands remaining unsold there were—according to the re port—96,000 acres at the end of 1890. But these ‘‘remaining”’ lands are like the tail ends of a heap of grain—of little value. Then it must not be forgotten that the generosity of the present administration in giving away the assets of the Lind Of- fice will have this effect : that no ing the office will, in future, pay the full [t is, therefore, very one ow- amount of his account. very doubtfui if fifty per cent. of the exist- ing Land Office assets can be collected. So that more to expect from that source. Nor is there any other existing source of revenue which can be enlarged to any ex- tent—though it is evident that if the pre- sent rate of expenditure be kept up, at least $100,000 more revenue will be Some persons entertain the the Province has, evidently, little needed every year. hope that the Dominion Government will, consideration of the which have been granted railways in o'her parts of Canada and the enormeus amounts which have been expended in the building of Government railways, be induced to re. in large subsidies fund to the Province the amount which the construction of the P. E. Island way originally cost. If the tunnel question were disposed of, and ifthe P. EK. were not losing money at the rate of from rail- Island $50,000 to $100,000 per year, a claim might, perhaps, be successfully press- ed upon this ground. Other persons affect tohope that redistribution cf the Provincial subsidies may be made on the basis of a plan evolved by the Quebec Con- The present Premier is one of But it is not probable that in face of public opinion in Ontario any consider- able addition will be made to the Provincial subsidies. Moreover, if the plan of rhe (Quebec Conference were adopted, this Pro- vince would gain very little. According to that plan, the subsidy of eighty cents per head would be based upon actual popu- lation aa ascertained every ten years by census, and a acale of allowances for civil government and legislation would be ad- opted as follows : Where the population is under 150,000....$106,000 ference. these Is 150,008 but does not exceed 200,000...... 150,000 Is 200,000 but does aot exceed 400,000...... 180,000 Ia 400,000 but does not exceed 800,000.... . 190,000 {se $00,000 but does not exceed 1,500,000..... 228.000 I pied 240,000 Apply this scheme, and what would be the result upon the basis of the census o 1891 ¢ Ontario would receive $1,913,391 a year ; Quebec, $1,410,868 ; Nova Scotia, $550,418; New Brunswick, $437,035: one year ad led $30,000 to the c a , } - f the and lrawn at leas Pro ihe hey have not Province, Witik $100,000 from t ial assets in the Land Oftice. property } re _* the condition of our rea } improved the pubiic They have not even maintained ls and bridges.

Afte: explaining the object for which the meet ng was ealled, His Worship took advantage ot the oceasion to express his own opinivn if the bill they nsider. Ifthe citizens decided in favor of the biliand it pissed the Leygis- t mistake would be The commissioners .iad done their work weil and faithfully since their inception of office, and he did not think it would be had met to ce bint de, in the interests of the citizens to take the rks out of their hands and put them in the hands of green- horns. The works were now self-sustauiing, acd it would not be necessary to levy any assessinent for water purposes this year. The Commissioners were under bonds for the faithful performance of their duty to the amount of 439,000—316,000 each—and the proposed bill provided the placing of the works in the hauds of members of the City Council—men who Were not obliged to give bonds at all. In his opinion the act would be unconstitutional Tae Waterworks Act of 1887 expressly _ pro- no person in any way connected lor vides that with the City Council shall have anything to do with the management of the works. The management of the waterworks by the City Council of the City of Halifax had proved a failure, aud the same result would follow such a movement here should it be inaugurated. There is talk of a saving under the proposed change. But ti fact remained that under the Act ove cent of the money collected can be used upon our streets or squares until every cent of the debentures are redeemed, The water debentures now out, amounting iu all to some $191,000, were taken up on the merits of the Waterworks Act of 1887, and the p°ssing of the propoeed act abol’shing the com- missioners who countersigned them would be tantamount to a repudiation of them. He hoped it would aet he passed. His Wor ship concluded his remarks by asking the meeting to elect achairman and secretary. Os motion His Worship was chosen chair- man, and Mr. Duncan Mclatyre secretary. Lhe secretary read the Act under discussion tor the information of those present. A resolution was put and carried that each speaker be limited to fifteen minutes, except- ing the Water Commissioners, who would be allowed twenty minutes, Councillor Hogan was the first speaker. tie said the bill was introduced svlely and simply in the jaterests of economy. He thought that if we could save even $1,000 of the people’s money we were bound to do so Some provision ehoald be made for a sinking fread. Hi the proposed bill was not passed the Council still had the right to reduce the salaries of the Comminsioners. He tailed to see why the Councillors could not manage the Waterworks as efficiently as the Com- missioners, Charles Palmer, Esq , 5 that as far as economy went he was with the promoters of the bill, bat he was opposed to left-handed They had a great fight over the passage of the Waterworks Act in 1887. The great idea at that time was to keep the works clear of the City Council, and a clause waa inserted in the Act prohibiting them taking the management, Now it was proposed to hand the works over te the corporation, We should be very cautious about abolishing the Commissioners. He theught the handing of of the Waterworks over to the Council would endanger the collecting of the rates, and it would therefore be well to goslow. The Councillors were not under bonds the sam@ as the Commissioners. Counillor Taylor thought the Legislature could compel the Counciliors to give bonds the same asthe Water Commissioners fur- nished. He said that at a large meeting in Ward Five it was proposed to abolish the office of Commissioners, Ex Councillor Douse was in of the proposed bill. Ifa saving could be effected it should beymade. Make the Coun- cillors responsible. He hoped the meeting would have the good sense to vote for the proposed bill—in the interests ot property holders. Property was now in a tight place ; and the number of ofticials was in- creasing. Henry Rackham, Esq., thought the pro- moters of the bill did the proper thing in submitting it to the citizens for their opin: ion; -bat he was surprised that those responsible for it did net bring forth stronger arguments in its favor, He was ic not economy. ers, but thought the public should get more information from them than they nuw gave. He thought the councillors should get paid as well as the commission- ers. But if the councillors wanted to work for nothing he failed to see why they should not want to do the work of the as- sessors and surveyor as well as the work of the Water Commissioners, But he thought the councillors had enough to do as it was. Mr. Isaac Murley was in favor of the proposed bill. He thought: the Commis- sioners did not amount to much and their services might easily be dispensed with. E. H. Norton, Esq., thought that out of the City Councillors men could be picked who were just as capable of managing the waterworks as the presont Commissioners, tn these days of economy savings should be made wherever practicable. He thought no trouble would be experienced in getting a capable manto act as Mayor and chair- man of the Water Committee. Hor. David Laird, chairman of the Com- missioners, spoke next. He reviewed the work of the Commissioners since their inception, After almost tive years of hard labor they had succeeded in making the works self-sustaining. The works were in good condition, notwithstanding assertions to the contrary, and the officials competent and painstaking. The salaries paid the officials and Commissioners were not toc high when the work performed was con. sidered, The Commissioners had a long” experience in the work, and he could not men. Commissionera to came before the people | Commissioners had no libel suits on } and did everything for the best. favor |. nol in favor of abolishing the commission: } see why they should now beset asileand the works put into the hands of inexperienced —— It was just as reasonable for the with an act to abolish the Councillors as it was for the Councillors to come with an ect to abolish the Commissioners. The sal- ary received by the Commissioners small consideration. As yet the hand. He showed that the Commissioners had not been extravagant in their expenditures J. P. Tanton, Esq , followed. It was not, hesaid, a question as to whether or not tho | Ocinmissioners were earning tbeir salariea, vr the capabilities of the gentlemen hold- | ing the oflice; but rather a question as to. whether or not the time had come when! the office might be abolished. At | the time the Wateworks Act | was drawn up the understanding | was that when the works were completed | they should pass into the hands of the City | Council. He moved ths following resolu. | lon i— i W hereas, The City Council have adopted ! and submitted to this meetiag a bili to abolieh the Water oa of the City of. Charlottetown and veat the power and author. | ity now held by said Commissioners wader.thie | Water Work Act in the blayor and City Council-of this city and whereas their further continuance-in office, considering the work to be performed by said commissioners, would further entail a large and useless expenditure upoa-the rate. payers, Therefore Resolved, That this meeting of citizens approve of the action of the council, and heartily endorse the Bill under consider. ation, in the hope that the Legislature now in session will give effect to the wishes of the rate payers by placing it among the local statutes of the Province, Councillor McKay seconded the motion. Archibald MeNeill, Esq., Commissioner McKinnon, and Messrs. F. Curtis atid Donald Nicholson followed in short ad- dresses. The two former spoke against the propoaed changes, and the latter. in favor thereof. 28 ‘ Charles Palmer, Esq., moved the follow- ing amendment to the resolution :— That while the meeting ia anxious to cur- tail the expenses ot the working of the Char. lottetowu Water Works as far as practicabie, they nevertheless deem the proposed act objectionable in substance aad form. This meetiog considers it inexpedient at present at all events for many reasons to take the man- ageiuent out of the hands of the commissioners elected by the whole city, and who are under heavy bouds and sureties for the faithful dis- charge of their duties, and to vest the same in the City Councillors, contrary to the terms of the Charlottetown Water Work Act, 1887. Charles Leigh, Esq., seconded the motion. The amendment on i put to the meeting (those against it standing up) was declared lost on a count-of heads. The main motion was then put, the house dividing at the request of Councillor McKay, who said he wanted a true test of the feeling of the meeting. Those favorable to the passage ot the resoiution went to the north side of the building and_ those opposed to it went to the south si A large majority appeared for the regolution, which was declared carried, T After giving three cheers fur Councillor McKay, the méeting adjourned.
