QUEBEC, Dec. Is. 1873.
Hon. DR.. Fortin, NJ. p, ex-speaker Of the Quebec
Legislature in lecture before the Quebec Board Of
Trade, demands that portion Of the American
Fishery Award be expended in erecting system Of
telegraphy from Quebec to the Gulf and the islands
lying IN front Of the mouth OF the st. Lawrence.
He argues. from the award being paid under protest.
that the Americans do not intend again leasing the
Canadian fisheries on the same conditions The un-
expended balance, he says. should be invested to
provide means for tho future protection OF Canadian
waters from American fishermen. Considering that
Canada has from 1900 to 1000 miles Of fishing coast
