PEDNI NO u Proposed For Retail Merchants A proposal that the retail mer- chants” commitle set up within the Charlottetown Hour of True 8 credit bureau where confiden. tisl information could be kept or distributed to all retail mer- Dhants. was made in a report of the above named committee sub- mitted by the chairman. F. J. Storey. at the Board's annual meeting last night. "Each store," the report gug- gests, "could monthly advise this bureau of serious defaulters and send such list under confidential cover to all retail members of the Board." The report notes that "too many retail purchases are being made outside our Province and this is not all the fault of the purchas- ers. Much of it is the fault of the merchant in that he is not Cafryinl in his line of merchan- dise what the customer wants. or his markup is too high.” A Million Dollun Log: The report estimates that a sum in the neighborhood of one mil. lion dollars leaves this Province anaullly for purchues of articles that are sold or can be sold by existing retail business in the Province. The committee in its study of this matter considered sending out a questionaire to all boxholders in the Province, on which a book- let could be prepared and distri- buted to all housewives advising them of the action taken by the retailers to meet their problems- advising them of the advantages of buying at home. etc. Emphasis is placed on the im- portance of notifying all patrons of changes in hours of business, and of holiday. Christmas season and summer months' observances. Civic 'Ibx: lion Objection is taken in the report to the present method of civic taxation of retail merchants. inu- much as taxes are fixed on the basis of stock carried "with no thought given whatever to the amount of money a firm is mak- ing or losing. In most cases this tax runs from. say. 3200 to many hundreds of dollars. Yet a profes- sional man who handles much more money. probably makes much more money. and who risks little or no money at all pay: on the average only 36.50." Other excerpts from the report follow: "The present city by-law sf- fecting peddlers was studied and with the assistance of such by- laws in effect in other cities e new one was written incorporat- ing many changes which would protect the citizens of our city and its merchants. This suggested by- law was forwarded by our Board to the City Administration but in so far as we know nothing was done concerning it. "A complaint was made to your committee by a member of this Board that loafers were hanging about the store doorways uptown every night with the result that window viewing was discouraged with resulting loss of business. This complaint was forwarded by the Board to the City Council. The Board has been advised that a regular police patrol is now being made and several- loafers have been brought to the police station and there warned. LCL Shipments "The question of very poor service by the C. N. R. in handling LCL shipments from Sackville, N. B.. and other such centres was brought to the attention of the C. N. R. authorities by your Board. with the result that a daily direct service is now in operation from Sackviile. N. 8.. with advice that deliveries will be speecled up from a 6-day minimum to not more than 2-days. "A study was made of the pro- blem of retail sales contracts- there being government regula- tions in effect in some Provinces regulating the amount of down payments and the length of time allowed for the payment of un- paid balances. As it was not de- sirous of having too much govern- ment lcgislation and regulgilon in our retail business. it was decid- ed not to do anything at the pre- sent time and such action would only be requested if it was felt that patrons of our Charlottetown business were being exploited."

ANNUAL Continued from page 1 he stated, "but we do not want any privately operated company to be the yardstick by which our rail- way rates are determined. "It is the duty of the Dominion to make laws that will provide advantages to the extremities of the country and they are not ful- filling that duty. But the fight is not over yet. he said. and we have a long distance to go. "The Maritime Board of Trade is the father of the Maritime Transportation Commission." Dr. Blakeney continued. "I do not know what would happen if the Board of Trade dropped out of existence." He commended the members on the wonderful work they had sc- camplished and reminded them that if the Board had not func- tioned the community would have been deprived of many facilities. Past Presidents Heard Mr. R. E. Mulch. who presided over the Board in I910 announced his intention of resigning from the Maritime Board of Transporta- tion this year. He urged all young men to join the Board of Trade. The president of 40 years ago, Mr. W. E. Bentley. K.C.. urged the Board to direct their strength and energy towards the erection of a museum. It would be a permanent historical reminder for the Island people. he said. and an attraction for tourists. . Mr. E. '1'. Higgs. president i911 and former president of the Maritime Board reviewed the ac- tivities throughout the period he was president. stressing the pro- blems with the C. N. R. and the efforts of the Board members in obtaining improved telegraph ser- vices. , The transportation problems of 1915 were vividly recalled by Mr. J. O. Hyndman who was the Board President at that time. He recalled the prominent part he played in developing better trans- portation for the Province and how he based his arguments on the terms of Confederation. Mr. Alfred Pickard. president in 1916. also told of the problems faced during the period he head- ed the Board. He recommended that all young men should join the Board.

Visits Mother's Birthplace In lfEl Mr. Will Gibson of Portland. Oregon. a son of a. former Prince Edward Islander. concluded a very brief visit to this Province yester- day. the purpose or the visit being to visit his mother's birthplace in Bloomfield. Accompanied by Mrs. Gibson. the visitors were driven to see point: of interest on the Island by Mr. J. A. Fullterton. City Clerk, and enjoyed seeing the scenes about which Mr. Gibson's mother has talked so often. Mu. Gibson, (formerly Ellen Gavin) was born in Bloomfield '18 years ago. and went to the United State! when she was 14 years of age. Six years later she crossed to the West, and was married in North Dakota. She now resides with her son in Portland. Mr. Will Gibson is City Auditor.

June 5th to 8th. An experienced photographer. Mr. Gibson took several shots of scenes beloved by his mother. to show her upon his return to Port- land. A map drawn by this aged lady. helped in no small measure to locate the old homestead. Mr. Gibson paid his respects to the Mayor of Charlottetown. and the Mayor of summerslde. and ex- pressed his appreclatlon of the courtesy extended to both hlrn and Mrs. Gibson during their visit. He expressed the view that if the kindness shown by Mr. Fullerton was a sample of P. ELI. hospitality, he could readily understand why his mother cherished so many fond memories of ”her Island." this service has,been consider- ably improved and speeded up. "(I71 Your Board recommend- ed fo the City Council that action be taken to amend the necessary by-laws in regarding to fire haz- ards.
