.-... A smash hit was scored at the Burns Anniversary Concert last night at the Prince of Wales Col- lege Auditorium. holding the en- tire audience spellbound through- out the program. In a scene rem- iniscent of last, year's; perform- ance. extra chairs were again brought in to provide seats for the overflowing audience, and people chose to stand in the aisle rather than be turned away.

Under the able direction of Mrs. Barbara M. Roper, and sponsored by the Men's Brotherhood of the Zion Presbyterian Church, the en- terlainment proved to be one of the most enjoyable in recent years. An original skit by Flora S. Rogers, with the scene laid in a. typical "Island Home" entitled. "Jock Turns the Tables on Maggie with Surprising Results" was clev- erly done and was enthusiastically rpnlauded.

Highlight of the evening was the Lou and Lassie Pipe Band who completely captivated the hearts of the audience by playing the bag- pipes. dressed in bright Tartan kilts. and going through the intric- nsics of the Highland Fling and the quick stepping Scottish Sword Dance.

All the performers were called back by the audience for at least one encore. Miss Betty Beers gave an enchanting rendition of "Will Ye No Come Back Again" and la- ter in the program joined in a duet with Mr. Ivarf Robinson sing- ing ”When Ye Gang Aws' lJamie”.

Stresses Need Of improvement In Street lights

"The estimate for street light- ing for the year was 013,150.00," stated Coun. W. H. Beaten, chair- man of the Light Committee, in his report presented at the annual meeting of the City Council last night. "T116 amount actually spent on street lighting was 318,- 361.. In other words. we ex- ceeded our estimates by 8101.83.

"I am not satisfied with the liglhl-ing of the- streets of Char- lottetown." Conn. Benton reported. "The type of ' descent fixtures supplied seem rather poor, partic- ularly i'he globes. While I have checked with Maritime Electric as to their cleanliness, and they have assured me they are clean. they still have the appearance of being very dirty.

"The following comparative statement shows an increase of additional street lights:.-

”Dec. 31, 1960: 231-100 candle- power illuminants: 12'!-550 can- diepower illuminants: 81-400 can- diepower iiiuminants. Total. 439.

"Dec. 31, 1061: 230-100 candie- power illuminants; 1”-260 can-

die power illuminants; D4-400 candlepower iiiuminants. Total, 463

"Despite our untiring efforts, we have not as yet been able to re- ceive from the Maritime Electric in satisfying proposition for the lighting of the Boulevard around our Victoria Park. I need not impress upon this Council the great attraction Victoria Park has for our tourists and visitors. I feel that we should make this Park available in the eveninza to our people who do not enjoy the luxury of a motor car. And this can only be done by the installa- tion of light. I sincerely hope the Chairman of Light in the incom-

Sulimitslllealth I Report in 1951

Dr. Wondali Ms&onIld, Chief Health Officer. last night told the annual meeting of the City Coun- cil tndt in the your 1061 the City had experienced no severe epi- demics. There had been only two reported csses of diphtheris.t.rscc- able to a carrier who had been discovered. and no fstatlities had resulted. p

There were no cases of typhoid fever at all and only one case of pars-typhoid and one case of po- liomyelitis. There were 31 'cIsu of venereal diseases. The Health Officer also noted that the City had recently been experiencing a large number of measles, German measles and mumps, but said that there were no severe complica- tions following them.

Dr. MacDonald also read the annual report of the Sanitation Officer which told of the number of inspections made of the various public premises, including rest- aurants, yards and other slmlllr places.

ing Council will leave no stone unturned to see to it that this project is carried to a successful conclusion.

"The heavy foliage of our shade trees does much to deaden our street lights, which as I have said before. do not shed too much illumination even when the decid- uous foliage has vanished. If the lighting is poor in the late Fall, Winter. and early Spring. ll: iip much poorer in the Summer. As a matter of fact. it is at its best in the Winter, when there is a blanket of snow, augmented by a full moon. 1

"There were no serious inter- ruptions during the year from wind storms. etc.. to disturb the continuity of the output of elec- tricai energy. but we have had coirnrplainfa from sections of the City to the effect that even with the slightest. smallest breeze. there is an interruption in the service, causing the inconvenience of having electrical equipmentnot supplied with electricity."

"in Water Rates

Commission

Revision of the existing civic water rates to secure additional revenue required to name the department was forces: in the re- port of the Commissioners of Water Supply submitted at last rlght's annual meeting of the City Council.-

The report stressed in this con- nection the increased rate in elec- tric power, also the increased cost of material over the past, ten years.

considerable extension work was done by the Department last year.

These covered Belmont street, Mc-

Giil Avenue, Beach Street, Long- vrorth Avenue and williams' Land. A number of main gates were in- stalled, also one new hydrant and several . placements.

The amount of water pumped during the year was 594,005,628 gal- lons. with an average daily con- sumption of 1,627,412 gallons.

The amount of 172,214,910 gal- lons was supplied through meters to take care of all commercial users, etc. The balance of 421.790,- 7lll gallons represents the amount used for domestic purposes, small commercial accounts, fire fighting, street flushing purposes and other public uses.

Increased Collections

I

The sum of 089,116.25 was col- lected in water rates, showing an increase over 1950 of 32,829.34. The net amount paid over to the City was 326,241.50,

The usual repairs were carried out during the year. The disburse- ment lncreased 35,870.26 over 1950. This was caused to a. great extent by the increase in the electric pow- er rates. For the last. quarter of

1950 the power bill was tl.9l0.tIl. while it was necessary to pay 34,- 937.09 during the same period of 1951-an increase of 38,019,013.

The amount paid for coal in l951 was 32,113.70. This amount included (011.09 in payment for coal contracted for in 1950, but not delivered until January of 1951. This year all coal contracted for was delivered and paid for in 1951.

This year it was l'lBCQBBBy to provide a, residence for the oper- ator of the Union Road Pumping Station. The Department considers themselves fortunate in being able to secure a property adjoining the Union station at a. considerably lower price than it would be poa- slble to build a new house. This completes the Union project.

New Sewage Pump

The Department finds that it will be necessary to purchase A new sewage pump for the Eastern Eta- tion to replace the now existing pump which has been in operation over thirty years.

April 5th. 1951. the Department called for tenders as per the auth- orization received from the Provin- ciai Government through the Coun- cil of the City of Charlottetown for 35,000.00 Water Debentures and 017,000.00 Sewer Debentures for a. term of twenty years. bearing in- terest at three and one-half per cent per annum. The tender of the Eastern Securities Company, Limited. of ninety-eight decimal twenty-six was accepted.
