I, the Right Honorable Chancellor of the Parish of Bedford, am greatly displeased that the provincial government continues to deny Bedford's rightful jurisdiction over Governor's Island and the surrounding territorial waters. These territorial waters are an integral part of Bedford, yet the provincial government continues to ignore the plight of our budding shipping industry. A stately residence in Charlottetown would be more than suitable for the provincial government's needs.

The island belongs to me Tongue Not the provincial government (which you can also call federal, or national)

I do not remember granting you or anyone else the deed to the island. Since your claim to the island postdates my accession to the Chancellory of Bedford Parish, I demand, on behalf of the Parish, just compensation for the unlawful seizure of territory. Furthermore, the Parish retains its claim on the territorial waters in Hillsborough Bay, since said waters are a vital part of Bedford's shipping and fishing industries.

Also note you are all Senators! Each parish sends two Senators to the Senate, with the exception of the non-Charlottetown county seats, which each send one.

This is also an assembly, but none of you get to play in that, sorry Tongue

Statement from the King

The island remains under the civil administration of the parish, however, is private property of the crown, but that ownership is no different than the ownership of a farm by a private citizen with the parish, except that the owner is the crown.

The Parish of Bedford does not dispute the claims of the crown, so long as Bedford's industries are at liberty to exploit the resources of Hillsborough Bay at their leisure.

It is of the opinion of the Duke of Hillsborough that Hillsborough Bay should belong to Hillsborough.

That claim is preposterous. The bay is Hillsborough in name only, as the Crown's surveyors have rightly declared.

SPRING UPDATES

Each parish collects a tithe of 10% on all income. This is what the citizens expect.
Each parish in turn sends 1/3rd of their income to the national government.

There are three different currencies on the island.
The Pound of Stirling Silver £
The Pound of Gold €
the Pound of Copper $

Though there are no set prices for conversion, 90-110 $ can buy you one £, and 30-35 £ can buy you one €

Depends on the size of the boat. In general, anything wide enough to be shown as an open river on the large map (and not just a line) is navigable by at least the smallest of boats.

Let's say (hypothetically) that I wanted to take an ironclad frigate up the Hillsborough River. How far could I go? And what's the largest boat that could dock in Mount Stewart?

I, Barnes, Lord of St. Patrick, do hereby decree that a small, iron rail bridge shall be constructed to cross the Morrell River, and to replace the current, dilapidated, track.  The construction of said track shall be in way that shall not upset the daily train fare through the town of Morrell and the surrounding countryside.

Although you do have the pleasure of owning and operating the largest, most militarily powerful boat in the entire island, I think that you should be aware of it's size. Here is a picture of the vessel.

It is done.
I, Barnes, Lord of St. Patrick, do hereby decree that a small, iron rail bridge shall be constructed to cross the Morrell River, and to replace the current, dilapidated, track.  The construction of said track shall be in way that shall not upset the daily train fare through the town of Morrell and the surrounding countryside.
The current rail bridge provides for two tracks and a rail connection in both directions. It is considered to be "adequate" by current standards.

As the Right Honourable Director of Halifax, I do request that the Parish of Egmont be dissolved due to a lack of organization and leader, and it's territory absorbed by North and Halifax Parish.

Patience my friend Tongue

It does have a leader, but, as noted, the leader did not bother to show herself to the Senate, has not shown a deputy, nor has sent any Assembly members.


Also, more in a bit.

These territorial waters are an integral part of Bedford, yet the provincial government continues to ignore the plight of our budding shipping industry. A stately residence in Charlottetown would be more than suitable for the provincial government's needs.

As Mayor of Charlottetown, I must give my thanks to you for recognizing the prestige of my city. While I do sympathize with your argument, as Charlottetown's maritime industries are similarly nascent, I believe the correspondence from the Crown on the issue demonstrates a problem does not exist as such.

This territorial dispute does raise another issue, however; I assume the vessels that berth at Charlottetown have a right of passage through the "territorial" waters of neighboring parishes, do they not? Raising this issue of coastal control gives me concern that rural parishes may seek to abuse their power and cause duress to the industries of our fair capital city. In particular, I was perturbed by your seemingly veiled threat to patrol the Hillsborough River with heavily armed vessels! Do understand that Charlottetown is the heart of our island, both culturally and economically. Any action you take that weakens my city will weaken you as a result. I do hope that cool heads will prevail.



In addition, as Mayor of the Queen's County Seat, I would like to suggest a county-wide conference regarding the future status of Charlotte Parish. Reeve Lance's utter negligence towards his duties is most striking.

At the present time, the Parish of Bedford will allow all ships passage through the waters under its jurisdiction. My main concern regarding the issue of territorial waters was that the crown would deny Bedford its right to fish in the waters of Hillsborough Bay that, on the map, are shown to belong to Bedford. As for warships in the Hillsborough River, I was more concerned about the fact that I might wake up one morning to discover that Rosebank or Mount Stewart had been bombarded. I know not the motives of my fellow Senators, and the defense of Bedford is my foremost concern.

With regard to Charlotte Parish, I am of the opinion that Reeve Lance should be stripped of his rank, and the Parish be divided amongst its neighbors. I propose the following division:

Lot 24: To Grenville
Lot 32: To Hillsborough
Lot 33: To Charlottetown
Lot 34: To Bedford

Further, I propose ferry service be initiated between Charlottetown and Rosebank. It is ludicrous that I must travel by rail for forty-some miles to take my seat in the Senate when I reside just across the river.

As the Right Honourable Director of Halifax, I do request that the Parish of Egmont be dissolved due to a lack of organization and leader, and it's territory absorbed by North and Halifax Parish.

A messenger has arrived from Egmont.

They inform the Senate and Assembly that Jane is living a "private" live, farming and fishing, in Alberton, and that she has "no interest" in governing Egmont. Lots have elected Assemblymen (he claims to be the member for Lot 5, but without signed papers from the Captain of the Parish, this could be legally questioned). He says the Captain has not appointed a Deputy Senator (and thus why no one of that rank has shown up).

Assemblymen from the North Parish back up certain parts of the story. They say they were also told Jane has "no interest" in governing, that there is no Deputy Senator, and that elections were held from what they know.

The messenger from Egmont further states

The Senator also indicates, privately, that Parish Unity is somewhat of a popular concept here, but that without a Reeve to tell him or his assemblymen how to vote, that he could be "persuaded" to support initiatives of "neighbours" if they were to "show their friendship" towards him. In other words, he indicates he can be bought for the right price.
