en ae (Continued from first page.) t estimate for that service had been increased | By $1,000. The service of the Prosecutors | f oe under the Canada Temperance Act having | telegraphic ¢ been dispensed with, a saving had taken place on that account of $600. The main- tenance of the Poorhouse could not be well controlled, because, so long as there was room, admission could not reasonably be refused, an increase of £200 had according)y been made in the estimote. Under the head: of Public Buildings, an estimate of $650 was placed for repairs to the Summer- side Courthouse, there waa aleo an increase of $100 in the vote for repairs to the Pro- vineial_. Building, on the Stock Farm Buildings it was proposed to spend $000, an increase of $250 over last year. In the allowanee for wharves there was a decrease of $8,000. By the exertions of the recent delegation, the amount hitherto expended upon the construction and maintenanee of wharves would henceforward be saved to the Province, and the service would be erformed bythe Dominion Government here was, however, an increased expendi- | ture upon the Charlottetown and Southport | ¢ on Ferry Docks of $6,000 In the item Bridges, there was an increase of $1,000 over last year. The steamers ‘Southport’ and “Elfin” had been taken off the hands of the contractor whose term had expired, they required extensive repairs, and an increase of $2,500 had ‘been made in the vote for these boats. How did we propose to meet thie expen- diture/ We estimate, said Mr. Sullivan, to re- ceive from the Land Office $55.000; from Provincial Secretary's office, $1,000; from Registry otfive $4,590 ; from Prothonotary’s office $2,500 ; from County Courts $3 000; from Hosprtal for the Insane $1 000 ; from Prince of Wal s C lege $250; feom Private | Bills $200 ; from Peddlers Licenses $500 ; from Fines and Penalties $200; from Reuts of Bridges $500; from arrears of Taxes $2,000 ; from miscellaneous sources $500 ; from the Dominion Goverament we expect to receiva $200,000, a little more or isa, making a.total revenue of $271,150, if the receipts come in a3 Ws ostiinate, but a great deal depends upon the result of the season's crops. It may be asked why do we ex- pect to receive $200,000 from the Dominion Government... We are entitled to $165,000 for subsidy, and out of the amount to be allowed by them for our Piers, we expect to draw enough to make $200,000, it mey be more or jess just as we require. Taking into consideration the deficit. of $12,000 from list ‘year’s transactions, we requige to provile this year for $265,338, so that if. the receipts came in as we autici- pate, we shall have sufficient to balance the account, and bring it out square at the end of the year. This is the financial position of the Province at present. I have shown what the estimated expenditure amonnts to, where the increases lie, from what sources we expect to receive the revenue, and that, at the end of the year, the account will pro- babiy be equare. If any exception be taken to the figures, they can easily be verified, having been carefully prepared from the official record. The ox hibit may fairly be left to the House and tothe country, and although there is a deficit, we have nothing to complain of. The country is to be congratulated upon the very considerable saving which has been effucted, a saving which they evidently appreciate, as, at the recent General Elec- tion, they expressed themselves satistiec with the administration of affairs by the present Government.
