With respect to Victoria Breakwater, it was the impres- sion that it was, or should be, as much a Dominion work as the Breakwater at Souris. or Tignish Run. It was natural to conclude that while the Government held that opinion they would not be very desirous of putting forth an effort to ac- complish the object, especially while there were so many claims upon their resources. He might say there was no probability of an alteration being now made in the appropriations, as proposed by the resolu- tion, for it would put the calculations of the Government astray. Hon. Mr. MeGill said that, as the Gov- ernment had expended $90,000 more last year than they were authorized to ex- pend, or more than the revenue, they could surely do something this year for the objects he had named. If the Vie- toria Breakwater was a Dominion work, the Local Government should urge it upon them. As to promises made by Sir John, unfortunately, like some other g ntlemen, he had to be tied down by writings before he could be trusted. Not- Withstanding the opinion of the Leader ot the Government to the contrary, he [ Mr. MeGill] considered that we had very efficient representatives at Ottawa. Hon. Mr. MeDonald would support the suggestion if there was any prospect of having it carried, but considered it a mere waste of time to make the attempt. The question was then put upon the suggestion, and the committee divided : Contents—Hon. Messrs. McGill, Laird, Munn, McEwen and Dodd—5B. Non-contents— Hon. Messrs. Strong, Reid, Richards, McDonald, and President —5 So the motion was lost. The bill was reported from Committee agreed to. A bill respecting the town of Summer- side was brought up from the House of Assembly by Hon. Mr. Pope, and read the first time. Adjourned. Saturday, April 29. QUEEN’S COUNTY JAIL Hon. Mr. Strong said, in reply to a question by Hon. Mr. McGill that the jail was being enlarged and improved. He did not consider that the Local Govern— ment had a right to provide a penitentiary. He observed that a sum was placed in the Dominion estimates for a penitentiary for the three lower Provinces. It was to be situated at or near Dorchester, in New Brunswick. TOWN OF SUMMERSIDE, A bill relating to the town of Summer- side was read the second time, and on moving that it be referred to committee, Hon Mr, Laird said it was to provide for the appointment of a Stipendiary Magistrate for that town. The appoiat- ment was to be vested in the Lieutenant Governor in Council, but he was to be vaid by the Corporation. In his opinion it would be an improvement. House in Committee. Hon. Mr. Strong observed that the bill gave the Wardens power to borrow money, It was said to be one of the features of civilization to be in debt, and the citizens of Summerside thought they could not arrive at the highest state of cizilization until they had a city debt. In his opinion it was right for the Corporation of Sum- merside to borrow money for improvement. If a direct tax were imposed for funds to make the necessary improvements it would bear heavily upon the citizens, and it was considered better to borrow money and spread the payment over a series of years. It was better to pay the interest of the money than to be without the improve~ ments. The Bill was reported from committee agreed to without amendment, and it was then read the third time and passed. YURCHASE OF LANDS. Ilion’ Mr. Strong moved that a bill to empower the Government to purchase lands held by proprietors be now read the third time. Hon. Mr. Laird said the Bill might be advantageous in some way, but he would like to introduce a slight amendment to carry out the views he had expressed yesterday. He believed it should not go into operation until the Commissioners had decided the cases before them. It would be better to allow the Commissioners to make their awards unprejudiced by the action of the Government. He would therefore move an amendment that the order for the third reading be discharged, and that the bill be recommitted for the purpose of suggesting an amendment that it shall not go into operation until the first of September next. That would not pre- vent the Government from purchasing small estates before the meeting of the Legislature. It was a fact that the pur- chase of Lot 19 was frequently reterred to as fixing the value of land, and although he did not attribute any improper motive to the Government, yet he believed that purchase had cost the Province thousands of dollars by raising the price of other estates’ The amendment would only de. fer the operation of the Bill for a few months. flon. Mr, Strong could not see the ne- cessity of postponing the operation of the Bill until September. Parties had been asking the Government if they would pur- chase small estates voluntarily, and they had to answer that they were not in a position to pay five shillings an acre. In fact, they could not purchase at any price until a Bill was passed to change the mode of payment. If the proposed amendment were carried, several proprietors who were willing to sell their estates voluntarily, would have to be notified to appear before the Commissioners’ Court. He was there- fore of opinion that the proposed amend- ment Was notin the interest of the coun- try. With referenge to the price paid for Lot 19, he considered it too much money to pay for it; but it was a great estate ; and the tenants were desirous of becoming rreeholders. A meeting of the tenants was called, and the offer was read to them. They were asked whether they were will- ing to purchase at 20s. an sere, Is. ex- penses, and $4,000 back rent given up. A resolution was unanimously passed that ; they were williog to purchase upon those ‘terms, and they authorized him (Mr. ¢) as their representative, to make Hon. Mr. Baldersfon believed the amendment proposed, though it did not appear to be very important, would have the effect of killing the bill. The Gov. ernment, according to the bill already passed, were required to notify every proprietor of 500 acres and upwards, next summer, that they were prepared to pur- his Jand; consequently this bill would only apply to proprietors of less than 560 aeres. The object was to save chase | the expense of the Commissioners’ Court ; and though he did not generally agree with the Government, yet he thought some discretionary power might be safely entrusted to him in this matter. If they were guided by the following provisions of the Act 16th Victoria, they could not vo far astray: ‘‘ And in order to prevent any imposi- tion being practiced on the Government of this Island, it shall be lawful tor the Lieutenant Governor, by and with the advice and consent of her Majesty’s Exs ecutive Council, if it shall be deemed necessary to appoint one or more Com- missioners’ (but not to exceed three) to examine and inspect lands offered for sale who shall, after a careful examination and inspection, make a report thereof to the Lieutenant Governor and Council for their guidance.”’ He objected to a similar bill last year but as the principal estates had been adju- dicated upon, his objectien was remoyed Hon. Mr. Dodd understood that the Commissioners were to re-open their Court in July, and why not allow all the estates to be brought before them? Ita Court had to be opened purposely for those small estates it would be different; but as the Court was to sit, the expense of adjudicating upon those small estates would be trifling. Hon. Mr. Walker was opposed to in- eurring the expense of going into the Commissioners’ Court, when it could be avoided. He would not be afraid to trust the present Government, or any Govern- ment, that might come into power, in this matter. Hon. Mr. Richards did not see any necessity to defer the operation of the bill. The Government would probably purchase those small estates voluatarily at a lower rate than they would be pur- chased at under the operation of the Com~ pulsory Bill. It was quite time to have the land question settled. Hon. Mr. McGill could not agree with his honor from Wiltshire [ Mr. Balderston | He could not see how the amendment would have the effeet of killing the bill. Perhaps he [Mr. McGill] would have acted as his honor the Leader of the Gov. ernment had done in reference to Lot 19, but the purchase of that estate at such a high price had a most injurious effect upen the awards of the Commissioners. If the Commissioners were to meet in July, it would probably be September before decisions would be given, and when the Government, if the bill were passed with the amendment, would be in a posi-~ tion to purchase small estates. He did not think the Sullivan estate, or the Tracadie estate, would have been pur- chased by the Government at a lower price than had been awarded by the Com- missioners, Hon. Mr.Munn observed that the Gov- ernment would have to adhere te the pro- visions of the Act 16th Vic., Cap. 18. They would have to enquire into the titles, &c., and the expense would probx ably be as great as if the lands were pur- chased under the operation of the Com~ pulsory Bil}. Hen. Mr, Strong thought that if their honors would take into consideration the price per day at which the Commissioners’ Court would sit they woud be of a differ- ent opinion. An item of $10,000 might be observed in the publie expenditure for expenses of the Commissioners’ Court. Exch of the Commissioners would have | at least $10 per day. It would surely take longer to adjudicate upon two estates than one,and the expense for Counsel,witnesses &ec., would amount toa large sum. It would be better for the Government to purchase voluntarily, even at one shilling per acre more. He was speaking in the interest of the people, not of the Govern- ment. Mr. Childers professed to charge nothing for his time, but the bill for the expenses was $1,200. It would easily be seen that the bill would save expense, but if its operation were deferred till Septem- ber it would be uselsss. Hon. Mr. Laird remarked, in reference to the purchase of Lot 10, that the rea- sou the people agreed to purchase at such a high price was that they saw no better prospect in the future—perhaps worse. Land sharks were pressing for rent, and that made the people anxious to purchase, but was that any reason that such power should be placed in the hands of the Gov- ernment ? It was probable that land sharks were waiting for the passing of this Bill to-day. They would purchase from the proprietors, press the tenants for the rent and the tenants would say to the Govern- ment: ‘Yon have the power relieve us.” Such pressure would be brought upon the Government that they would be compelled to purchase at higb prices, The question was then put upon Mr. Laird’s amendment, that the bill be again referred to Committee, and the House di- vided :— Contents—Hon. Messrs. Laird,MeGill, Munn, Dodd and MeDonald—5. Non-Contents— Hon. Messrs. Walker, Strong, Balderston, McEwen and Rich- ards—5, The president voting with the Non-Con- tents, the motion was lost. The Bill was then read the third time, and on a motion by Mr. Strong “ that it do now pass,” there was again the same equal division. and hon. the President voted for the motion. Hon. Mr. Laird aud others contended that, according to the rules of Parliament, the President could not vote for the motion. Hon. Mr. Strong said the President could not revoke his decision. He also complained of want of courtesy upon the part of those opposed to the bill, as they were taking advantage of the absence of members who had voted for it yesterday. After some time spent in discussing the rules of Parliament applicable to the ease, the President re-affirmed his decision, and the bill was passed. Adjourned for one hour. AFTERNOON SESSION, APPROPRIATION BILL, Hon, Mr. Strong moved that the Ap~ propriation Bill be now read the third time. Hoa. Mr. Balderston observed that as he was in the chair last evening, he did not take an active part in the discussion upon this bill, but he would now say that he would be glad to see the propositions made by his honor from Belfast (Mr. Me Gill) carried, He trusted, however, that the Government would see that some of the mov-y placed at the disposal of the Board of Works was used for the purposes named by his honer. It was well known that better accommodation at Rocky Point wharf was very much required. Very little public money had been laid out there for several years past, and he hoped the Government would take the matter into consideration. There was a petition for a bridge further up the river, and he understood that a deputation waited upon the Government with a subscription list for something like two-thirds of the cost of construction, but the Government had declined to appropriate the other third. Those should be helped themselves, but if justice were denied to the people in that section of the country they would have to take another way of secking for it, and they would no doubt do so at the next election. The bill was then read the third time and passed, SALE OF LANDS. A bill respecting the sale and management of certain lands was read the second time and referred to Committee, : Hon. Mr. Balderston considered the bill very necessary. There wg provision In the old Land purchase Act tat each estate should be self-sustaining, but the Governs ment had lost a large sum of money upon estates purchased long ago. ‘That provision in the Act of the 16th Victoria was perhaps necessary, but under the Act of 1875 sales of land was compulsory, which altered the case, ‘he Government shouid not know any ma in there-selling of the lands. Chis bill repealed the section of the Act 16 Vic. to which he had. referred. If that acuon wére adhered to the Government would re- main in the position of the proprietors, for the land would be priced so high that the tenants would not purchase. The Land Office would have to be kept open at great expense, and the Government would be the losers in the end. There was a provision in the Act 16th Vic., requiring the tenant to pay down 20 per cent, of the purchase money, and the remainder in ten equal in- stalments, before be received his deed, which be considered also objectionable. It deterred many from purchasing. It would be better to spread it over a greater length of time, so as to induce the tenants to pur- chase. It appeared that the Government had collected very little rent. It would be better to require a smaller amount down, and to allow fifteen years for payment instead of ten. (His honor moved a suggestion to that effect, and it was sgreed to by the Com- mittee.) Hon. Mr. Laird said it could not be ex- pected that the purchase made under the Act of 1875 would be self-sustaining. — ile thought it would be satisfactory to the Gov- ernment and Legislature to have the land classified and priced by comp tent persons. (His honor moved a suggestion to carry out the views he had expressed, and it was adopted.) The {louse was th€n resumed gress was reported. After some committee on the above n°med Sbill was resumed, and Hon. Mr. Balderston expressed his surprise and regret that the House of Assembly had not agreed to the suggestion he had pro- posed. Twenty per cent. down was more than many of the tenants could pay, and they would remain tenants. If they could pay the purchase money ia fifteen equal in- stalments, each would be little more than a years rent, and probably all, or nearly all would avail themselves of the privilege of purchasing. The bill was reported agreed to. LAND OFFICE REPORT. Hon. Mr. Strong laid before the House a Preliminary Report of the Commisioners appointed to examine the Land Ofiice ac- counts, Hon. Mr. Dodd remarked that the office, as appeared by the Report, was in a very unsatisfactory state, and it was the legiti- mate result of placing competent men at the head of affairs. The Leader of the Govern- tnem was expected to look afler all the public officers, &c., without being paid for doing so, and no work was well done that was not well paid for. He hoped the day would soon come when the Leader of the Government wouid be weil paid. How could any man be expected to take the difficult and responsible position of Leader of the Government merely for the honor. Hon.Mr. Laird said thoughit mightbe some- whatirregular,he would crave the indulgence of the House while he briefly expressed his opinion upon the Report. Any Govern- ment which did not collect the revenue was sure to get into difficulty. It appears that there were bonds taken before we entered Confederation, which were not yet collected. The Land office, in which nearly all the capital of the Island was invested, should be very carefully looked after. It appeared that no rent was collected from Government land, and unless they were compelled to pay rent, what inducement would there be for them to purchase their holding? It could not be expected, as they said yesterday, that aman could devote his time to the public interests without remuneration, but when a man accepted an office without remuneration he should pay some attention to the duties of it. It appeared that Mr. Wadman was an overworked man, and something had to be neglected, butif he represented toe matter to the Government and they refuse @ ‘m as- sistance they were to blame, otherwise he could not be clear. A great deal was said about the business talent of men inthe Government, but a small portion of the time and pro- time the from committee would have sufficed to satisfy them as to how business was done in the Land Office. This report should be a warning to the Goy- ernment to look more closely after public officers, especially those with the collection of revenue, He boped further investigation would show who were to blame, but he did not think the Government were clear, es- pecially as other circumstances showed that they had neglected their duty in many res pects, Hon. Mr. Strong scarcely knew what apo- logy to make for the state of the Land Office, but he supposed they might blame the system upon which public affairs was mar azed. As one Commissioner of Public Land succeeded another he followed in the footsteps of his predecessor—perhaps some of them were not thorough business men and were not capable of changing the management. One thing they might Jearn was, that tbe head of the office should not be a politician. The faci that the duties of the Commissioner were divided, on account of representing a cons stituency, might account in part for the state of the oflice. He hoped the appoint- ment of a competent auditor would remove the evils complained of. The present leader of the Government received no remuneration, He, as well as his predecessors Mr.Waythorne and Mr. Pope had worked hard for the pub- lic withoul remuneration; but they had their private business toattend to. The pre- sent head of the Government Was thorough- ly tired of the position he held, and he pre- sumed it was the last time the country would have his valuable services. There had been great contidence in the incumbent of the Land Office. and the Government had no suspicion of anything being wrong. As soon as there was any investigation $3,000 were forthcoming and entries made to cor- respond. It was hard to account for these things, but the explanation given was that the books were taken away to the country on collecting tours, which should not be the case. He had been told that there was no Day Book kept, and he failed to see how the Day Book could be dispensed with. He re- gretted the state of things in that office, and he felt humbled,but trusted that the investi- gation would be productive of good. The state of matters brought out the old story, thatifa man was expected to do his work well he must be wellpaid. It was difficult for members of the Government residing in the country, as he did, to be thoroughly ac- quainted with the details of public offices, but he trusted that the discussion here and elsewhere would stir up those in power, and those who might succeed them, to have the public affairs of the Province conducted’ more in accordance with what their import- ance required. A Bill for the management and sale of certain lands was read the third time and passed. At six o'clock His Honor Sir Robert Hodg- son, Lieutenant Governor, came down to the Council Chamber, and, having summoned the members of ithe House of Assembly to the Bar, assented to the various Bills passed dur- lhe session. His Honor was then pleased to close the session with a Speech which aps peared in the Examiner at the close of the session. James Ramsay, Reporter. Why are dandies like nanny-goats ?
