FROM AN 1885 ISLAND NEWSPAPER

During the years 1879 to 1884 both inclusive, there was shipped from the Island $2,448,608 worth of lobsters. The heaviest year during this period was 1881 when 115,164 cases valued at$575,823 were shipped. In 1884, 72,875 cases valued at $419,031 were shipped. In the same 1885 issue an item notes ”In the Prince Edward Island Legislature Premier Sullivan an- nounced that he would move an address to Queen Victoria representing the failure of the Canadian Government to carry out that part of the Confederation terms which requires the maintenance of steam service between the Island and mainland, and praying the Queen to compel Canada to fulfil the terms of union and compensate Prince Edward Island for non—fulfilment in the past”. Interesting, as in this year, 1976, the Island Government is involved in a lawsuit against the Federal Government for interruption of ’continuous ferry service’ due to strikes in 1973.

ITEM FROM PAPER OF 1927

More than 42,000 pounds of live lobsters were shiped to the Boston market this season by Andre Paturel of Summerside. These were of a uniform size, mostly nine inches and over, which is the favorite with the American market.

VOTING

Before the hall was brought to Lot 16, voting took place in the houses. In the days before the secret ball_ot,_~a~-person coming to vote was asked who he wished to vote for. Election days were looked forward to ”eagerly, and there was never a scarcity of liquor. It is recalled that at least two elections, with open votes, were held at the home of William Millar (now the home on the Shields property); one was held at Laurence Yeo’s, and one at the William NlacGregor home. Voting has taken place in the community hall ever since it became available, and election days are probably much more sober and sombre occasions than in the old days.

BUILDING HAULING

Lot 16 was very fortunate in having a very accomplished building hauler, William Millar. In the old days buildings being hauled on roads, fields or on the ice in winter was not an uncommon sight. Mr. Millar
