The foreman turned slightly- "Guilty of murder," was the three word verdict he returned to the clerk's question. A recommendation for clemency was added to the verdict. The veteran Chief Justice im- mediately sent for Arthur Bannister, younger brothe: of Daniel, convic- ted of Lake‘ urder at a previous trial. The brothers. born two yen-rs apart, were sentenced to die almost together, “between one o'clock in the morning and noon on the twentieth day of June." SENTENCED T0 JAIL Mrs. Bannister was then sum- moned and sentenced. The law had gained i:et.rlbution for the slaying of the Pacific Junction squatter and the deaths of his common law wife and 20-months old infant, and the kidnapping of another baby on the night of January 5- To Arthur Bannister the 77-year- old jurist saidz, “Across the pages of our statute books there is written the stern edict that he, who without Justi- fication or excuse. kills his fellow man, shall himself suffer death. and on me has fallen the painful duty of this day pronouncing the sentence which the law demands.

The new elders were then ad- monished to be loyal and Qllligent in their God-given task, and to seek always, through prayer. the will and wisdom of God in inain- taining the spiiituai oversight of the congregation.

GOVERNMENT (Continued from Page 1) PAVEIJ ruins VALUABLE ASSET jg PROV. Speaker At Rotary Congratulates Pro- vince For “Longest Paved Road In Mar- itimes.” ‘ “May I congratulate you on the fact that you have the longest con- tinuous approach of pavement in the Maritimes, and what is more. it is a good substantial pavement equal to the best of the asphaltie types so far laid, and from the re- sults this spring of sections laid down in 1934 and 1935 you may con- slder the economic life substantial and therefore within the demands of the construction bond issue to finance it," Mr. E. L. Miles told Ro- tarians yesterday speaking at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Club. Mr. Miles, who u manager of the eastern division, Standard Paving Ltd, was speaking on road building. Under the heading “pavement ec- onomics", he said: “Pavements from an economical standpoint do two important things, 1. They cut out heavy annual maintenance costs, which are lost. 2. They afford: a reduction in the cost covering the operation of the motor car. “Financing construction over the period of its particular economic life, is termed sound finance in the busines world. Therefore when the cost of maintaining a. gravel road as a dustless easy riding road is equal to the equal annual payments of principal and interest on the in- vestment in pavements, then pave- ments are certainly cheaper. They are cheaper because they are an as- set at the end of the economic per- iod. whereas a gravel road has no appraised value excepting a. portion of the last year’s work. And they are cheaper because they are all- weather roads, and have a greater revenue producing value. "The second reason why pave- ments are economical is because of the well known fact that, “any road carrying 1,000 vehicles per day. when paved with a twenty year ec- onomic pavemcnt, will save to the motorist, over the gravel road sys- tem. $5.000 per year. "Supposing that we assume that 500 passenger cars and 100 trucks pass over a. mile of road in one day. The difference in the cost of opera- tion over a gravel road and over a paved road is recognized as 2c. for Therefore the ssvlng is 817.00 961‘ dsy. rbrssoodsypcriqdtbe tot-ll ssving is 05.100. "Items in the nrsge bills such It washing. tire repairs. and many of the broken parts are in reality a “Bad Road Tax" sud easily amount to 3100 in the course of 9. season, for is car running 10,000’ miles. The writer has s. record which shows that in 1931 the "Flying stone" men- scs was equal to the Sc. Nova Scotia gas tsx imposed at that time." Prince Edwsrd Island Road! “The writer does not want to ss- siune the role of sdvisor, or even criticize the present Provincial Rood Policy, as the foregoing remarks are sufficient I think to convey the ides to you that this Province would be better of! with its primary roads paved. "May I take this opportunity to congratulate you on the fact that you have the longest continuous stretch of pavement in the Marl- times, and what is more it is a good substantial pavement equal to the best of the asphaltic types so fsr lslcl, and from results this spring of sections laid in 1934 and 1035 you may consider the economic life aub- ‘ 1 and therefore within the demands of the construction bond issue to finance it. “The increase in the revenue from the gasoline tax of 310.000. 1935 over 1934. is partly at least because of Charlottetown - Borden pavement, notwithstanding the fact that it was under construction during the entire eration.

By the time that grading is done. bridges and culverts built, and drainage attended to, the cost would run to about $4,000,000 in round figures, including the cost of the Charlottetown - Borden pave- ment now completed. With the as- sistance of the Federal Government to the extent of 50% of the cost. the net cost to the Province would be .000. “Assuming that the motor vehicle revenues could be used solely to pay off the annual cost of interest and sinking fund on capital expendi- tures as well as maintenance on the balance of the road system, and that construction could proceed at the rate of 50 miles per year, and that the economic life of the pave- ment ss laid is 15 years, and that money could be readily borrowed st 4%. then we could make up a state- the passenger car and 7c. for the Euck. in favor of the paved road. iirsiiy, tile League, with limited membership, was inevitably limited in efieetlveness; secondly. financial and economic sanctions could not be immediately effective if the membership of the League were not complete; thirdly, vlewiiig a‘l that had happened, it might be said Britain ought not to have attempt- ed to stop war, but he (Eden) did not take that view. It was quite impossible to estab- lish international law by abetting breaches of international law.

In beginning his address Mr. Miles spoke on the early history of road building pointing out that it Hoes back 8,300 years. He then went on to speak on road building in Canada. Road Building In Csnsd. "Realizing that the progress of civilization. commerce and wealth is impossible without means of commimicsticn, we necessarily find highway construction prominently written in the history of Canada's growth "During the early days of Can. ads, transportation was by water, Doftlles being used between wot- erwsys.

"second, to foster to the Province concerned its rightful share of the tourist trade, which as a business ranks among the greatest we have, and second only to export wheat. "Combined they make an inter- esting study for the general pub- lic. who after all must lend their support, before any Progressive pol- icy can be put into eflect. "According to reports we have in Canada. about 400.000 miles of roads. About 125.000 miles are classed as unimproved earth roads, 265,000 miles as improved earth or izriwelled ends, and 10,000 miles as hard surfaced roads.

A similar condition can be cited for the whole ten year period which goes to show that the motorist is providing funds for the Provincial capital expenditures on its road system. "This very satisfactory condi- tlon has resulted in the reduction of the motor fees for 1938. and re- fers to a Province that has 8.! mo- tor vehicles per 100 population as coinpared with Prince Edward Is- land's ratio of 81. "Ontario with its 3,500 miles of pavements had a surplus of $995,- 475 in 1932.

These surpluses represent receipts over expenditures and in- clude both maintenance and con- struction. These figures do not in- clude the interest and sinking fund payments. In 1934 the motorist contributed 41.4 percent of the total cash receipts of the Province. “Nor have we finished the story yet. The tourist trade in Canada is valued at $200,000,000 per year. and when the rightful prcportion of this imported money is placed to the credit of the roads through the gasoline tax, the Canadian Highway System will rank high in the commerce of the country. "summing up we appear to have the following results,- “I. That Canadian Highway Con- struction as a whole is on 11 sound financial basis. “2. The total amounts contributed annually. through the motor taxes. are very close to the total expend- ltures. "3.
