Telegraph station on Green Island, in the River St. Lawrence.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
With the view of supplying the means of telegraphic communication between Quebec and the Lower St. Law- rence, the British American Telegraph Company have been urged to extend their line from Biviere-du-Loup, en bas, to Green Island Parish, and thence by a sub-marine telegraphic cable to Green Island Light House. The advantages of the extension are evident.1st.The amount of life and property which would, in case of shipwreck, be saved, by timely assistance being sent from Quebec.2nd.The transmission of the latest European news de- rived from Ocean Steamers.3rd.The great increase in the means of naval defence which the telegraph would afford.As there would be no regular business,onthe line the Company have petitioned the Government for a grant of £1,500, which would be the cost of the works, and an annual grant of £350 per annum in part of working expenses and maintenance.Should the Government acquiesce in the proposal, the annual cost to the Province would be, including interest, £440 per annum, which would be refunded by a tax upon each ship of five shillings, which the commercial body are willing to pay.(Quebec Board of Trade letter, pages 14 and 15.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
