     of electors, and 15 Assemblymen elected by two sets of 
     
     electors, two of each being returned by the 15 districts into 
     
     which the Island is divided. These sit side by side and have 
     
     exactly the same powers. The protection supposed to be given 
     
     to property holders by the Legislative Council still exists. 
     
     There is no property qualification for either Councillors or 
     
     Assemblymen. For the electors of Councillors the qualifications 
     
     are British citizenship, full age of 21 years or upwards, and the 
     
     ownership of property to the value of $325. The qualifications 
     
     for the electors of Assemblymen in addition to citizenship and 
     
     full age, are ownership or occupancy of real estate of the yearly 
     
     value of $6 for 6 months before teste of writ, or a residence 
     
     of 12 months, and the performance of statute labor on the 
     
     public roads, or in lieu thereof, the payment of 75 cents com- 
     
     mutation money. The number of voters is 25.245. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The duration of the Assembly is four years unless sooner dis- 
     
     solved, and the sessions are held annually in March or April. 
     
    

    
     The Legislature expends money for Provincial Legislation, 
     
     Administration of Justice (except Judges’ salaries), Education, 
     
     Public Works, such as Wharfs (being of Provincial as dis- 
     
     tinguished from Dominion or Federal importance), Ferries, 
     
     Roads, Bridges, etc. It maintains offices for the Registration 
     
     of Deeds, Mortgages, Wills, Judgments, etc., and pays for Poor 
     
     House Maintenance, Inspectors of Licenses, Hospital for Insane, 
     
     Coroners’ Inquests, Boards of Health, Dairy Associations, etc. 
     
    

    
     For educational purposes, the Province is divided into 
     
     School Districts, each of which has authority to spend moneys 
     
     for school buildings, running expenses, and supplements for 
     
     teachers’ salaries. 
     
    

    
     The City of Charlottetown (which is incorporated) expends 
     
     money for general civic purposes, such as streets, sewers, water 
     
     works, fire prevention, city buildings, lighting streets, etc., and 
     
     the towns of Summerside and Georgetown (the latter to a very 
     
     limited extent) have somewhat similar powers. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Prince Edward Island has not yet adopted the municipal 
     
     system, and the expenditure of the Provincial Revenue is 
     
     authorized directly by the Legislature. 
     
    
   
   
    
     The principal sources of revenue are the Dominion Subsidy,
