' We had a growing population then with low taxation, a taxation wholly` controlled by our own _Govemmen‘.. and Legislature. The revenue derlv-_ ed from taxes paid by our people was_ expended within the border of the_ Island. What has happened slnce’.’l A struggle of over half a century| for rights which we thought to bc. as secure and safe as the Bank ofi England. and still going on. we thought we were assurred of decent communication between thef Island and the mainland but it took) forty years to get the Car Ferry.
