Mr. Ben :--I am sorry to have to differ from his honor who has just spoken with respect to the cost of mac- I believe that it can be done to a certain distance from a shipping port. say four or five miles. at a cost of £500 per mile. and I am satisfied that no money could be laid out to greater advantage. or which would give greater satisfaction to the country. Some are not satisfied with the pieces of road we have macadamiud ; but the reason is that the stone used were too large. They should not have been more than an inch and a half in diameter. but the were three inches ; and this. besides the ing the road rough. is a waste oi material. for one stone three inches square will make eight one and a half inch. lion. Mr. Gannon—If Island alone were put through a crusher it would be reduced to sand ; but I believe good roads can be made with it in the way it has been used for the last few years at a comparatively small cost. lion. Mr. Han-nouns :—1 agree with his honor from Georgetown that Island stone might beuscd wherethcre is not much traffic. but it would be useless to apply it in the neighbourhood of the towns. though perhaps it might be used as a sub stratum to be covered with hard Nova Scotia stone. lion. the Passion" :—-0:o gloat defect in making roads here. is that they are not properly drained. Any person travelling out the Malpequc road now will find many places where tho water is level with the top of it. and as long as that is the case we will never have good roads. lion. Mr. DmowsLL:—I think there is a misunderstanding respecting Island stone. I alluded to hard shore stone which is to be found on the southern and eastern shores of' the Island. and which is nearly as hard as Nova Scotia stone. I said I was anxious to see a change. for [know that without a radical change in iug hard stone to macadamizo them. We may talk about Island stone. but it would bejuat as expensive as imported A few miles near the shipping It is not. supposed that A system of local man- whereby two or more townships might I have no doubt but that sugges- There would not be any additional expense. for They might be appointed on the where they required draining. That is a Most people could spend a day on the roads in the spriugjust as well as in the summer. lion. Mr. MacDonan The remarks of his honor. with respect to draining the roads. are very proper. for. till more attention is paid to that. we will not have good roads. Another matter that should be attended to before our roads are macadamissd. is to endeavour to go round mat: of those great bills. for it would be fol to crpeud large sums of money in ma ing roads over the tops of them. Some of our roads go in a particular direction. without any regard to the formation of the country. By giving a small compensation. a road. in many instances. might be made round the base of those bills.

All which were ordered to be laid on the table. GOVERNOR'S SALARY. On motion oi the "on. Mr. BEER, the House resolved itself into a committee of the whole. to take into consideration the various public dcspatchcs presented to, and laid on the table of this House dur- iugtheprescut session—lion Mr. Gordon in the chair. A dcspnfcb from the Secretary of State, respecting the salary oi the Lieut- enant Governor. was read. lion. Mr. listen: I think that dcspntch calls for some remarks. or expression of opinion on the part of the Legislature. I do not know why we should be treated as we arr. for I do not think we are treated justly. The whole lands of the colony have been alienated or granted' awayto absentee proprietors; consequent- ly we are deprived of that logiliumtcsourcc oi revenue. wherewith to sustain our civil list, while all the other North Americau Colonies are in a very different position. The local Governments of! these colonies own the lands. from' whence they derive menus to sustain their civil lists. Therefore. I think the Imperial Government should continue to pay the salary oi our Lieutenant (inver- nor.

"on. Mr. hIACDONdIJl: The question of the payment of the Governor’s salary was taken up last session. and an ad- dress upon the subjcct was forwarded to the British Government. Again this your the subject has been under the consider- ation of the local Government. and it is from both branches oi the Legislature should be forwarded to the Colonial Before the Ilouso rises a re- solutiou will be introduced similar to one which will be presented to the House oi It is very true that this Is Estimates. and what is called the “ Civil List Bill” was introduced and carried through the Local Legislature mainly as a compromise between the Imperial I believe that if the present commission- - a" we" dup'wtd "M mane."

Island of certain matters in dispute. The salary of the Lieutenant Governor was excluded from the “ Civil List Bill" because provision was made for it by the Imperial Parliament. Therefore it would appear that the Imperial Govcruc meat is equitably bound to pay that salary now. and if they insist upon it being paid by this colony it Will be very unfair. I am of opiniou,howevcr. that when the matter is fully brought before them. and they are asked to consider all the facts of the case impartially. they will reconsider their decision and will continue to include that salary in the Imperial Estimates as heretofore. The people of this Island would look upon it as almost a breach of faith on the part of the Imperial Government if. after the correspondence which took place on the subject previous to the introduction of Responsible Government. and the dis- putes which were at that time between the popular branch of the Legislature audtho Executive Council. as well as between this colony and the Crown. we should he called upon. after a compro- mise was effected. to pay the Governor's salary. Therefore I think it is advisable that the matter should be again taken up by a joint address and see if we cannot get the Imperial authorities to reconsider the determination they appear to have come to in the despatch just read. "on. Mr. Banmznsrots: I think we have very good reasons indeed for pro- testing against payiug the Governor’s salary. As long as the Imperial Gov- ernment see fit to ap oint an Officer and send him here. I thin the have a right to pay him. Then the Co any is paying a eavy tax. in the shape of rent. to persons residing in England—a great deal more than the amount of the Governor's salary.

A compact, on that basis. was accordingly entered into. and the con- ditions on the part of the Colony have been fulfilled; therefore I ask if we have not a right to claim the fulfillment. on the part of the British Government, of its part of the contract ? It involves a question of right from which I think they. any more than others. cannot rc- '1'wo years Ago this matter was fully gone into. and the forts of the case were set forth at great length. And the present Government. while referring to the address then passed. should set forth such further facts and rheum- stanccs as have since occurred and as the present state of the case requires. The prominent feature of the case is that we have not been placed in the same position as the other Colonies with re- spcct to the land tcuurcs. fury of State considered that the colony was in a thriving condition—that its trade was improving—and therefore we could aflord to pay our own Governor. but that is a very futile argument. for if on individual meets with success. it is no reason to refuse him justice. the progress of the Colony was as great as could be desired, it is no reason that full justice should not be done it. And if that was an argument at the time the despaich of the Colonial Minister was written. the contrary state of affairs would be an equally strong argument on the other side new. for your honors are aware that in consequence of the unusually revere winter.grcnt dostitntiou Therefore. if the Secretary of State conceived that thc‘ Island was in a suflicicutly prosperous state then to pay its own Governor. he should take the opposite view now 2 would be most reluctant to permit any British subject to pay taxes. for me. Imperial would do their proper share. for we have a right to compensation for the loss of wildcrucssiands. and it is not too late to make that compensation now. It is never too late to do a Colony or an individual justice. and if the Govoruor‘s salary were permanently conceded to us. it would be but poor compensation for the large sums which are annually leaving the colony in the shape of rent.
