The Land Tenure Sin.-—The ‘time is now. approaching when the rept'esentativcs of the people will assemble in the Colonial Building to transact the public affairs of the Province and look after the best interests of their constituents. ‘ I think it therefore at fitting moment to direct their attention, through the col- umns of your valuable paper, to a ques- tion thit is now agitating the minds of many of the poor farmers [throughout the Island, riz,, The Land Tenure. I desire to speak particularly of Lot 63. The origin- a cost of land on said lot was $1.50 per acre. The neighboring Lot (61) was sold for about 75 cents per acre. I cannot imagine what caused such a preposterous difibrence in the valuation. N ow the in- terest and compound interest accruing on the first coat for the last 15 or 20 years has swelled it to such an enormous amount that the people are completely discouraged. I notice that the Govern- ment have. lately adopted the policy of the Irish landlords to a certain extent. They have been taking steps to dis- some of the occupants, hopi no oubt to intimidate the rest. It is a in the r farmers ‘to accomplish im i- bditif: _The payment of their rifle under existing circumstances is an utter iin ibility. t_ would be well for the Government to give this matter their careful and seri- ous attention and try to have some re- adjustment of the land question. Let them cancel all the interest and com- pound interest on the lands, and where cost was exceptionally excessive (as in Lot 63) reduce it to a maximum standard with the adjacent Lots. The people will then be enco . They will make a desperate effort to pay for their lands. The money will flow into the peblic , and in a short time every acre shall be paid for. The doors of the ‘*"‘..........°'P °=::.~*- -2- o s mv to t e Province , rises in with tbe_I.and arededu the Provincial heaeury ceedi goes into y small. Now would it not be much tter to leave the interest and com und interest with the our and n y farmer who had to toil ard 313 days out of each year in order to provide himself and family with the bare neces- saries of life, than to wrench it from him to go into the well replenished pocket of public oflicials 7 Now Mr. Editor, as you are ever ready to advocate the farmer's cause, we would be pleased to hear your opinion on this subject. I do not writethis _in a fault- finding spirit or to criticize the actions of the Government. Neithzram I prompted by selfish motive, being no land owner. I merely make this appeal in behalf of the people feeling confident that if the plan proposed were adopted it would work to the mutual advantage of both the Government and people.
