A Society of this kind was of very_ iititlo Ill0._ unless it was active. har success, t was. ii e whole of the 'cov- ered, not just the city alone. The Society, he felt should be pro- vince wide. Cruelty totanimals was not confined to Charlottetown es some of the correspondence would show: ~- Especially-in -wintor time, .there are many sections of the province where animals are treated' cruelly. Cows and horses are not properly fed, and not protected from the cold as they should be. He detailed a. specific in- stance which hed come to his notice recently of some cattle kept in an open stock car on the railway line, with thermometer down nearly to zero. , He next alluded to the shipment of live hogs in the live stock branch. One thing they lnelet on is that the animals are caofortabiy bedded for the trip, and properly fed. Box cars are always made use bf. They would appreciate it if any violation of theea rules was brought to their notice.” The matter would be promptly attended bo. lt is e crying shame that dumb ani. mals who can do nothing to protect themselves, are abused and cruelly treated. I-le was pleased, he said, to become a. member of .the Society. and ha pledged thc lupport of the Live Brook xraneb to all efforts to allev- .late the euiferinga of dumb creatures. V Mrs. J. S. .laniiiue raised the dues- tlon as to whyanimals could notbe killed before they were shipped. Mr. Gillis explained that this de- plrtmont encouraged live shipments. both because animals could be slaush tered in packing plants more hu- manely, and also because they could be stripped alive more economically and efficiently. He explained that it was quite easy to get proper protec- tion' in railway carsrbut. the travel- ling buyers were often guilty of over- ~ro'wdtng oattlroars. ---» ~' \~ an-il.. hrougnl, up the quaatwn ... scolding hogs in pack- ing plants before they were killed, Mr. Gillis felt that perhaps in some oeece they might be ecalded bc- iom they were deed, or even some iembs might be pelted before they were deed; he did not know.

After the min- utes had been read and adopted, thi I audience consisted of victims of thc. president explained the object, of i the meeting, which was to consider U. , proposition to be submitted by Messrs .Ellis and Dunn of the Ellis Shipping t Company, who were submitting o. tender on Feb, 15th next, for the daily service between Picton and Char- iottetovm. for the year 1830. Mr. Dunn then explained the ob- ject oi their visit, which was priu- cipaliy to nntl out if there was env ,feeling in favor ol a new boat on the ;serviee. They found there was such ta feeling, aucl were here to submit ,the plans of two -boats. lt would be `quit¢ possible, he .stated to have one of these boats ready by June, 1929. Mr. Diuin then submitted the plans for the examination of the council. These have aiiesdy been described in yesterdays Guardian. Asked by Mr. R. il. Jenkins, M. i’.. as to the relative cost of the two boats, Mr. Dunn stated that he could not give exact figures, but the Steam- ship would cost something over $125.- 000 and the Diesel engined ship per- haps $50,000 more or $175,000. Mr. Dunn next submitted the plan of a steamship which, if suitable ax- rangemenis could be made, lr, was hoped to build and run between Pic- tou, Charlottetown, Montreal and in- termediate points. This second pro- position was not contingent upon the acceptance of the tender for tl-18,; Chariottctown-Pictou service. j The next matter to receive consid- ' eration was the air mail service. UI securing this, the presldcnt stated., the help of the Federal members was ,- solicited a.ud,reoeived. Two tolegramsg were then read. from the presidents. of the board to Hon. P. J. Veniot,-. and from Mr. Voniot to the president.. These have already been published in. , the press. I The president called the attcntidh " of the council to the fact that the air mail service was only promised during the disabiement of the car ferry, whereas it had been asked for during the entire winter. He consid- ered it advisable to press for its con- tinuance during this period. Mr. J. M. Mosley asked if the air service was designed to take the! place of that taken on the second tri‘I of the car ferry. ` Mr. Jenkins said that the Seri/109 hitherto had not been en- tirely satisfactory. The bungling was done by people in Moncton, he un- derstood, and was in no sense to be laid to the door of the Postal ome- lals here. He suggested. that 1.110 board consult with Mr. Wheur- 9. most capable oillcial-who was in charge of the air service here. The president concurred in this. Mr. R. E. Mutch complimented the president on the splendid telegram he had sent to Mr. Vcniot. He thought a telegram should be sent: thanking him for his prompt reply. He pro- tested against the Board of Trade being blamed for the bungling of the mails, which he claimed was bein; done in some quarters. The president stated that he un- derstood that thc bungiing of thb mails had been perpetrated by Mono- ton officials against Mr. Whear's om- phatic protest. ‘ A discussion ensued as to Whitti class of mails the air service was d=~ signed for. Mr. Jenkins said it was his 0111111011 that the service was designed to take care only of delayed mails, until we have proper landing faoltltlw. Mr. Mulch contended that it should be for the quickest, clam of mails. Mr. Paton thought that the Ngu- lar mail service should ba maintain- ed. and that only delayed mails should be forwarded by lt. Mr. Buntaln said that, while the car ferry was away for repairs, the aeroplane should carry all the mails. Mr. B.. L.
