Newfoundland Assembly Reflects on Death of J D Ryan and Harbor Improvements
The House opened at 3.30 p.m. with condolences for the late Hon. J D Ryan, former President of the Legislative Council, as ministers praised the late member. The Speaker cited the seal and codfishery growth in 1925, boosted by shipbuilding bounty, and discussed standardizing fish quality. The debate highlighted St John’s Dry Dock plans, the U S Caribou asset, and remarks on Newfoundland’s tourism potential and 1924-25 finances, noting $75,000 in outstanding royalties and past fiscal shortfalls.
