* ↑ Where population of towns is not given, figures are not available in Canadian census volume, 1911. Population of Nova Scotia, 492,338; New Brunswick, 351,889; Prince Edward Island, 93,728.
* ↑ Hotels are conducted on the American plan. Principal hotels in Halifax, Sydney, Yarmouth, St. John and Charlottetown charge $2.50–$3.50 a day up; smaller hotels and boarding-houses, $2–$2.50. Rates in other important towns and at frequented resorts, $2–$4 a day (average $2–$2.50); $8–$10–$12–$20 a week. Hotels and boarding-houses in unimportant villages, on farms and at sportsmen's retreats, $1–$1.50 a day; $5–$7–$8 a week. Whenever possible, essentially commercial hotels have been excluded from this list in favour of those best suited to fill the needs of the tourist and sojourner. The Intercolonial, Dominion Atlantic and Halifax and Southwestern Railway vacation folders give the address of numerous private boarding-houses and camps.
* ↑ In most Provincial towns branches will be found of at least one of the banks given opposite principal places in this list.
* ↑ At places where no hotels are indicated board can usually be secured in private houses. At very few outports are there hotels of any sort, or even boarding-houses which announce themselves as such. The people of all classes are well-disposed toward strangers and willingly give assistance in finding accommodation. All things considered, terms throughout the colony are higher than in the Provinces. The rates at the sporting hotels on the railway are more reasonable in proportion to the service than at many less attractive houses. At Tompkins, Doyle's Stephenville Crossing, Spruce Brook and Grand Lake the minimum rates vary from $1.50 to $2.50 a day.
