The Canadian National Silver Pox Breeders Association held a meet- ing in Ottawa and that was the occasion for the visit of many of the Islanders. Don Stewart. Rob. 8ft Humphrey. Ernest Mill and Edward Burlelgh paid inc s. Q11 and listened to the debates in the House of Commons for an hour or so. The Canadian Bank of Cem- merce banqueted the delegates at a very pleasant dinner. At this dinner both Senator Brewer Rob- inson and W. Chester S. McLure spoke. Some of the delegates told me that they both spoke very ec- ceptably and with considerable knowledge of their subject. O U O Premier J- Walter ' Jones and I believe that their many confer- ences with the Federal depart- ments were satisfactory. Premier Jones went on to LaChute in Que- i190 to Open a fair. From what I can learn from the Quebec Men‘- bers the fair at laChute is coin- parabie from a livestock stand- point to the Charlottetown Exhi- bition. I I t Last night a yc-ung man by the n-ame of Edgar Gallant stopped mg in the corridor to congrstulateme on my recent appointment. He told me th~st"he was the son of Cyrus _ Gallant from Element Bay and that he had left Prince Edward Island at the age of thirteen to pursue his studies in Laval Cni- Vefsity. He has been specializing in Economics. For the summer months he hlis secured employ- ment with the Department of rin- BW-‘fl Where he can continue his studies and earn some money at the same time. l-le is making a study of provincial taxation meth- nd-s. I think that he is a fine ex- ample of an Islander making good at Ottawa. On the way back from Prince Edward Island I had long chats with Dr. W. J. P. MaeMlllsn and James McInnis who were on their unv to attend a meeting to do with cancer prevention. at Toron- John Connolly were in Ottawa and‘ to. Dr. MacMillan also expected to attend a. meeting of the Med‘.- oai Council of Canada. ' I O U The National Liberal Convention to be held in Ottawa on the 5th, 6th and 7th of August is the sub- Ject; of much speculation. It is interesting to remember that. the Liberal Party has held only two National Conventions: -one in 1893 -—ti'ie other in 1919. The former drafted policy which the party fol- lowed through the years that Jill!‘- ler was the leader. The latter was the conrventlon at which the party picked Mackenzie King as leader and laid down s. platform which the party has followed to this tnle.- The convention to be held in August will have to pick a new leader and consider changes in P0116! to meet changing conditions. The present convention will beheld in the same auditorium and on the same days as the 1910 convention. Many who attended the 1919 con- vention will probably attend this convention. A few days ago I read over the names of the delegates who attended the i919 convention from Prince Edward Island. lvlost h!" 11W Passed on.

Hickey, C.A.. was re- appointed the auditor for the coni- ing year. Mr. Darby's Report In his annual report Mr. Darby described the financial condition of the hospital, which he said was excellent. Many improvements hav“. been made on the building and the equipment. and the bookkeep- ing system has been revised. The part of his report _wh|ch dealt with the matter of the new hospital, on which work was stun.- ed last year but later stopped, is given here. in detail. With regard to our building fun-I. Mr. Darby said, the auditors sc- count will show that the total sub- scriptions to this fund were sfil, 600.00. that the amount paid lo date was $156,890.77 ind that the interest on this amounts to $1. 040.06. or a total to the credit vi’ the account of $166,800.63. Ea- penditures made on this account amount to 060,814.06, leaving s biU~ anoe on hand of 689,016.51.

With the amount we had ‘on hand from subscriptions, with the amount which we felt would come in during course of construc- tion. and with an anticipated bor- rowing of $500,000.00. which WP had been assured by representa- tives of the bond houses would pre- sent no difficulty, we authorized construction to begin. Subsequently we were advised that a detailed breakdown of costs indicated that an additional amount of approximately $1100. 000.00 would be required in order to complete the institution. We iclt that it would be impossible for us to finance a proposition of that mggnitude, if we were to proceed at all, the plans would have to us completely changed to lmng tli-ani within the range oi our financial capabilities. We accordingly order- ed that the work be stopped and it was. A revised draft plan was ihei. prepared for e new 110 bed insti- tution, which could be erected a; the approximate amount of the oi.- iginal figures. We determined. how- ever, that before renewing con- struction we would complete all arrangements for finances so that no holdup couldpccur in the fu- ture.

QUAWH has r They were then advised that be- fore they could submit a propos- ition it would be necessary to have the bonds made trustee invest- ments and that we would have to get the assurance of tiIc govern- ment that our government grants would be turned over directly to the trustee for the issue tocoger interest and sinking fund re- quirements. This meant a delay until the Legislature met. The bonds ivere made trustee in- vestments, our borrowing power was increased to $530,000 and we were assured that grants would be turned olver to the trustee for se- curing of the loan. Again we ap- proached the bond houses to fin- alize mattcrs so we could proceed. Al. this time we were advised that unless we could obtain a govern- ment guarantee for the loan they could not consider the prcposition without asking for an interest rate so high that they felt we could not service the loan. We then submit- ted to flhem the alternative prop- osition of how much would they be prepared to underwrite on the ba- sis of the amount which we had available to turn over to them a.n- nually from the above sources. So far we have hsd no definite pro- posal in this regard. Wlhst we had in mind was that if on the basis of $22,000. of gov- ernment grants theyfivould under- u-rite an issue of 8100.000 or $350- 000. then our building would have u; be sealed down or the type of us within the limit of the funds sv- ailable.
