ADDRESS TO SIR ROBERT BORDEN
Tho Address of Woleotne on behalf

On behalf' of tho people of Prince

of yottr first trip to these shores

hid you welcome.
It has been the- purpose of the Fath-

vince of tlte Dominion should be con-
nected by modern and effective meuns
of transportation at the earliest proc-_
ticable date.-Tile construction of tlte
International Railway was provided
for in th@'terntg oi' ttnion between the
ilrst four Provinces in 1867. aitd in
like manner daily communication by
steam between Prince _Edward ls-
litnd and the Mainland, wus stipulated
In the te-rms of union oi’ this province
and the Dominion. Isolated' as we
were, the fulfilment of this agreement
was u matter of the most vital conse-
quence to us. _
, Successive Canadian Governments
made various efforts to ‘lmpletneitt
this agreement by providing Ice-break
Ing steamers for the winter season.
which were of notable utility but fall-
cd to maintain continuous service.
