CANADIAN EXPRESS CO.

ABOUT TO CELEBRATE
FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY

 

Within a few days, the Cana-
dian Express Company, as such,
will celebrate its fiftieth anniver-
sary, letters patent having been
granted to the forwarding com-
pany under this name by the Fed-
eral government early in Febru-
ary, 1865. The original name of
the company was the British
American Express, established in
the early "50's, when it operated
stage lines during the winter
months, supplementing these with
steamboat connections during the
when water navigation
was possible.

months

The Canadian Express is there-

fore actually older than the
Grand Trunk Railway system, on
which it operates today, al-

though the Grand Trunk was the
second railway opened on this
continent. As early as 1858 a
braneh office had been opened in
and for many years
this was the only express com-
pany with headquarters in Amer-
ica having offices in Great Brit-
ain. Today, with European head-
quarters at 17 Cockspur Street,
London, it has branch agencies at
Liverpool, Birmingham, Man-
chester, Glasgow and Antwerp.

The speech of Parker Wil-
liams in .the Legislature should
be read by every person in the
province. Here are a few gems :
from the speech:

Sir Richard had spent $5,840.40
on railway fares, according to the

returns in the public accounts
record. Mr. Williams estimated
that at ten cents a mile this

would have enabled the imperious
Prime Minister to travel three
times around the globe. At two
cents a mile, Sir Richard might
have had a return trip to the
moon with this money and have
had a thousand dollars to blow in
which cireumnavigating that
planet.

The Public Accounts.
Mr. Williams charged from the
records in the public aceounts
that the Attorney General had
been appropriating to his own
use the funds of this province.
He referred to the fact that the
fees of the Attorney General for
membership of the Barristers’
Association had been paid out of
the public purse. It was not the
sum, said Mr. Williams, but the
principle. The law association
was the lawyers’ trade union and
the people were not entitled to
pay Mr. Bowser’s membership
fees therein.
He declared that if a copy of
the public accounts just handed
down could be got into the hands
of one-third of the people of the
iprovinee, that upon the record for
last year, the MeBride govern-
ment would not last thirty days.
The “people, if they were familiar
with the manner in which the rev-
enue of ten million dollars of last
year frittered away, would

a deficit of seven million dollars
and more. The public accounts
