Afternoon Session The House met yesterday at 3.30 p.m. Hon. Mr. Prowse presented n. petition from the City of Char- lottetown for an Act to consolidate and amend the City's incorporation statutes. ! Dr. MacMlllan presented a peti- tion from the board of governors of the Charlottetown Hospital for an amendment to the Act of In- _ corporation. | Bills in accordance with the tpetitions were received and rend. I Premier Jones presented a re-‘ Iport of the Department o-f Recon- lstruction for the year ending Jan-l tuary 31. 1947. The House went into committee‘ lwith Mr_ Saville in the ciiazr on’ second reading of an Act to make uniform the law respecting bills’ of sale and chattel mortgages. The promoter, Mr. Mu-rley Bell, explained that the bill was in accord with uniform legisiaL-on throughout Canada and had the aproval of the Law Societies. I i Opposition: Corrections Mr. Strong pointed out that Section '1. in respect to chattel mortgages, provides that an affl- davit by the subscribing "witness must be drawn to prove every bill of sale. This would make more work for the lawyers but he pro- tested that it was an unnecessary provision in this small Province. and was certainly less convenient than the present practice. . The promoter agreed with Mr.’ Strong and moved that he. sec-l tion stand over. Later it was amended to provide for acknow- ledgment of the grantor before 1' commissioner for taking affidavits before the Supreme Court. I Mr. Strong also took exception to Section 11 which provides for re- moval of chattel mortgages every three years instead of ten years as at present. This section also, on ‘motion of the promoter, was allow-y ed to stand and subsequently was amended to read "five years." Section 31 (i) states T. nor cut) ' l l I ' I ' | A EDWIN (l.
