PROVINCE OF QUEBEC

DEPARTMENT OF MUNICIPAL AFFAIRS,
TRADE AND COMMERCE

Quebec, December 28th, 1935.

The Honourable T. DAMIEN BOUCHARD,
Minister of Municipal Affairs,
Trade and Commerce,
Quebec.
Sir:
I have the honour to submit the twenty-second volume of "The
Statist'icat Year Book".
The contents of this publication include, besides an historical
summary and a geogl'aphical sketch, comparative statements covering
a period of several years, concerning the climate, population, education,
administration, production, communications and transportation, benev- .
oIent, sociological, co-operative and provident institutions. It is one
of the most useful and informative documentary publications available
to the public.
For the first time since its iDception twenty-t\,,"o years ago, the
Year Book is published this year in bilingual form. Previously it had
been thought necessary to issue a French and an English edition. In
order to avoid certain inconveniences pertaining to its distribution and
more especially, to stress the bilingual characterof our Province wherever
the YeaT Book may circulate, we have considered it expedient to make
thiB change.
This alteration presented serious difficulties, but Mr. Lemonde, the
editor of the Year Book, proved equal to the task. It isnot unlikely,
however, certain minor errors may have been overlooked in the course
of revising the book; we invite our readers' co-operation in tracing such
oversights as may exist and we would appreciate any suggestions they
may have to offer, with regard to the further improvement of the
Year Book.
I have the honour to be,

Sir,
Your obedient servant,

The Protincial 8tatistician,
JEAN CHARLES HARVEY.
